The IA-Parts Ultimate Periscope.
You may have noticed this little guy being featured as pretty much the main character in Kenobi Ep1 popping out of the sand of Tatooine and being used as an alarm for old Ben Kenobi in his cave…Keeping him safe……Allowing him to sleep at night……. If not – go watch it right now !! ……What is wrong with you ???!
When you saw it, you may have wondered……… Who made that? ……Is it the same design as the one seen in ESB/ROTJ?…… Wonder no longer… it is !….And it was ours… pulled out of my personal R2. So now that I don’t have one – it’s time to make more.
These beautiful screen accurate Periscopes are Machined 6061 Aluminum, Silicone Rubber bits and Machined PMMA lenses.
The main housing has been designed to be as light weight as possible with every detail painstakingly machined. The magnetic pie panel attachment is an incredible upgrade ( Now Included ).
Disclaimer:
We will be doing a Limited Quantity run based on the poll numbers on Astromech.
To make this project happen we are taking pre-orders. This will help share the financial burden.
All Parts should be completed by the end of September, and we estimate another two to four weeks to ensure everything is correct and have time to package and ship. We estimate orders will begin shipping as early as November – barring any unexpected delays. Rest assured – everyone will get their parts. In the past 12 years we have never had someone not get the parts they have paid for – even it has taken a little extra time – the patience is strong with this one.
IA-Parts is a hobby, not a business. We build these parts for the fun and love of the hobby. We both have full-time jobs that keep us busy.
If you don’t know us or are uncomfortable with a PRE ORDER… DO NOT ORDER THIS PART! We absolutely do not need the stress of dealing with “has it shipped yet” builders. When people complain too much it takes the fun out of making parts. So again, if you don’t know who we are, or you think that there is no excuse for shipping delays — then please DO NOT buy from us.
