Curses, looks like I got the days mixed up...I sadly won't be able to make it as Fire Flower Luigi >_<

I'm planning a Jedi cosplay on one of the days and wish to bring an LED lightsaber prop with me. The hilt is constructed of a lightweight aircraft grade aluminium and has no sharp edges.  The blade is a thin-walled polycarbonate plastic with a rounded tip at the end.  Would this meet the prop standards to be peace-bonded?

"Lightweight" can be subjective, but in general it sounds like it's largely metal. I don't know that I can OK that one. Sorry.

I understand your concerns on there being too much metal on the prop but I would like to clarify with measurements and pictures if I may. :)
The hilt is 11 1/2" long and that's the only part of the prop that is metal. The plastic polycarbonate tube (i mistakenly called it a "blade", force of habit caused by the hobby ^\^;) is 36" long by itself and when inserted to the hilt the overall measurement is 45 1/2" long.  Out of 45 1/2" overall only 11 1/2' of it is metal and that leaves 34" of polycarbonate tube.

Pictures are clickable ;)
Here's a pic of the hilt by itself and here's another pic with the tube inserted and activated
(if you'd like a shot of the saber with the LED turned off I can post one as well if you'd like.

After viewing the pictures you can see there are no rough or sharp edges. This is a clean build that I constructed based on the listed safety regulations regarding metal props.  It would be a darn shame if i couldn't carry a Jedi's signature weapon with my Jedi costume. ^\^;

I can show up as a male Fire Flower Luigi :)

Did anyone happen to get any additional pictures of me this year? My cosplays were:

Much appreciated and i can't wait for next year ^\^

Indeed, been wanting to cosplay this fellow for a while and the costume is coming along nicely :)

Seeing as how there are no takers, you can count on me to take up Greed's mantle >:)
