Caistor, Lincolnshire

Meet the Team

Replica Sabers is a small, independent UK business. When you get in touch, you reach an actual person — here's who.

We're a small team based in Caistor, Lincolnshire. That's deliberate. It means every saber is checked by the person who runs the business, and every email is answered by someone who actually knows the products — not an overseas call centre working from a script.

Michael Thackeray, founder of Replica Sabers
Michael Thackeray
Founder

Michael runs the business and the workshop. He's been into lightsabers for years — selling and working with them since 2019, first on Etsy and then his own site — and turned that into Replica Sabers in 2023. He checks and tests every saber before it ships, handles the technical side, and built the site itself. Being neurodivergent, the attention to detail isn't a slogan — it's how his brain works.

Sophie
Customer Service

Sophie looks after customers — answering questions before you buy, keeping you updated on your order, and helping sort anything out afterwards. When you email or message the shop, there's a good chance it's Sophie who replies, and she'll get you a real answer rather than pointing you at a help page.

Yes, it really is just the two of us. We think that's a good thing. A small UK team means nothing gets lost, nobody's hiding behind a ticketing system, and the person who tested your saber is the person you can actually talk to. It's why we'd rather grow slowly and keep the quality high than scale into something faceless.

How to Reach Us

Email is the quickest way — jedimaster@replicasabers.co.uk — and we usually reply within 48 hours. You can also message us through the contact page. Whether it's a pre-sale question, an order update or a warranty issue, it comes to us here in Caistor, and one of us deals with it.

Questions Before You Buy?

Ask us anything — which saber suits you, RGB versus Neopixel, delivery times. A real person will help.
