I pretty much leave the banners affixed to structures or saddles...at least
for now (A couple viewings of "Samurai Banners" and you will have a strong
desire to add flags to everything...lol)

That reminds me...I longed for the Lighsaber handle to be released in a
different non-chrome version. (Like in the new AT-ST) Shortly afyer I got
the Naboo Swamp set, I tried using the katana on one end of the lightsaber
hilt and a Star Wars antenna/rod in the other...
Obvious problems...
Chromatic chaos: Chrome, Dark Gray+black/Gray sword
Instabilty: The Katana was "wobbly" in some hilts
Length: The shaft part of the weapon seemed too short
