For those in the hobby:
hilt by korbanth, nanobiscotte 4 soundboard, neopixel(plecterpixel) blade.

Obi-Wan's The Phantom Menace lightsaber has always been my "grail" saber.




Here’s a sample of what neopixel blades are. No longer do you just have a tube of light in this hobby. This one was bought from Vader’s Vault last year.

I have 16 handguns and 12 rifles. I really only need about 3 of each, at least according to my wife. She considers them to be frivolous, I don't. Smile

The last 3 Fenix flashlights I've purchased probably fall into the category, but hey, I love those things.

Jim

I bought it used from a fellow audiophile, but it was still frivolous. Sounds amazing though.

I’m sure it does. No shame or judgment at all.

Not exactly THE brightest Montana car, but brings me back to my times as a kid. Me and my buddies all had muscle cars.

Now I'm thinking of a 2020 with the 650 hp motor, 455 not enough.

a very lightly used 08' Kubota RTV500 with snow plow.

I will be selling my 07' Polaris Ranger XP700 to pay for it though. So kind of a trade I guess.

And a second boat. A bit of a project, but eyes on the Pacific ocean for seafood I hope.

Every gun in my safe probably qualifies, since none are carried. That said, the Dan Wesson Valor I am waiting on currently is my most recent purchase.

As referenced by rockchalk06 it's the logo for G Loomis fishing gear.

I just liked the graphic for the 'monster' Jeep.

Bought a Mathews compound bow and all the kit you can imagine from stabilizers to arrow straighteners to.... never used any of it. Frown


And then there was a '73 Dodge Challenger with a full race cam and double pumper carbs set up for the drag strip that we drove on the road getting not much more than 5 mpg.
