Double Telescoping Luke Question?

[darthscro]

So I found what I believe to be a DT luke
Only thing is the middle blade appears to be glued into place...
I see that it at somepoint was a DT though... im confused

did kenner do a transition?
does this still count as a DT

Should i Post pics?

I cant find any info on this

[knothead615]

definately post some pics so we can all see. it is possible it was a repro saber or at least i hope so that way someone did not ruin an authentic dt saber.

The tips of the sabers havebeen pulled pretty far insome examples I've seen. It looks like a DT buts its just a severly pulled tip.

Here they are
you can see some kind of gunk through the saber and on the side of his arm
plus the hole is visible when looking straight down the "Barrel" near the tip...
this comes from an attic from an old couple. the guy claims he had it all his life along with 30 other figures and a blue snaggletooth.
he had no clue even about the names of the characters. I bought the collection with for about 60 bucks

That's a DT saber my friend. I wonder if you soaked it in warm water for awhile the inner saber would come loose. I don't mean boiling water, but warm water. That is quite a score. Nice job!

nice, ill give it a try...
I've never attempted to clean anything like this before...

That looks like a DT Saber to me! All that for $60? Nice Score!

[darthscro]

its pretty stuck in there. if you can see in the picture theres even that gunk stuff inside it holding it in place pretty hard.
not sure what the best move is

Man oh man. I would soak it for hours in HOT water. I don't know if anyone can recommend a chemical that won't harm the plastic. It's really a nice saber and the Luke is fantastic. Too bad someone glued it. It's one thing if its elmers glue but if its super glue I don't know what to suggest. Sorry. Any suggestions guys?????
