What's to not like?

I was surprised to see the one-star review of the 7 Piece set, so I thought I should balance things out. Both the 6- and 7-Piece sets are made by Blast Tech, which is highly regarded even on The Replica Prop Forum, and those folks are seriously picky. The complaint about the adhesive is a mystery to me. I can only assume the reviewer was really careless. I had no problem at all. The paper backing peeled off easily, and the grips are now firmly attached. As for the grips being "too hard"...well, this material is much softer than the hard plastic T-track used on the original prop. (Hamill told our friend Slothfurnace that the prop was extremely uncomfortable to hold.) So unless you want to make your own grips out of silicone, I'm not sure what you want to do. The grips on the Force FX line are moderately more comfortable, though less faithful to the original prop, so I suppose you could salvage some of those and put them on your saber. As for me, I'm quite happy with these.
