Suggestion Box/Wishlist: what do we want from Ultrasabers?

[Thanamira]

In the same vein, a way to link to a saved build.  My wishlist is going to be different from something I might recommend for a friend ("hey, I want something not too expensive, who cares about sound" vs "Yo, wedding present for a friend, what do I get?").  It should be fairly straightforward to encode a URL that captures all the features, so that one URL takes you to a page populated with features, with the option to ADD TO CART. 

Great suggestion, Landen; point for you.

I would love to see a saber like Kanan Jarrus from Star Wars Rebel.....a truly unique design with a little bit of a katana feel to it....this is a saber I would absolutely love to see made a reality!  It could very easily be not only a Jedi weapon, but even a Sith weapon as well....(Evil Grin)

A Scorpion variant model without the black shroud over the bottom 2/3 of the hilt, with black for the raised bits. Also with the ability to swap out the modified Guardian pommel with one from an Archon or Arbiter.

(and as long as I'm dreaming, I want a pony  ....)

Just a thought. I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but there should be a way to preview a saber with each specific option before you add it to your cart. What I mean by this is, either in 3D or through pictures, allowing the buyer to view each option they put on their saber and seeing how it will look before they put it into their cart. This would allow people to make exactly what they want and tweak things before making a final decision. I know this would be a daunting task on Emory and US's staff, given there are hundreds of combinations, but it would be very nice, especially for first time buyers.

They do have a 360 degree view, that's probably the best your going to get.

Yeah but that's for the preview of each saber. But even to do what I'm talking about, it would take making every possible combination. But again, that would be a very daunting task and would require a lot of time to do.

Clarification on the Graflex order page as to which color-option button is the front or the back button (i.e. "The one behind the bunny ears is considered the back button" or something along those lines). Especially given the spike on orders for ths model, there could be a lot of people expecting a different setup and getting something other than what they pictured.

[James Casey]

An option to order any two hilts as a staff (or just two of any single hilt). It'd make it easier to have the double-ended Menace for a start.

I think the Forum Color system of ordering is unnecessary - it leads to manufacturing mistakes. It is more efficient and simpler to allow customers to order these Forum Colors conventionally just like any color from the drop down menu. I have had two sabers where Forum Colors were not correctly done by the US Technicians (and yes, I paid acquisition charges, ordered a "premium color" and then specified which Forum Color I wanted in the comments box). US handled these cases very professionally of course, much to my satisfaction. But I think it makes it easier for everyone - customers, potential customers and US Technicians if Forum Colors can be ordered conventionally just like any other color.

I would generally second this, with the addition that if they do so, they probably ought to make note of the slight variability in hue that they get when they mix up the "forum colors".  That's probably particularly critical in the "double blade saber" section.

This would be amazing, and I'd probably order a bunch of sabers like this.  Mostly because when I was a kid and got my Darth Maul saber, I fell in love with the staff setup.

The forum colors could be added to the dropdown menu as "Exclusive Colors".  Maybe US could charge $15.00 for these colors, and maybe they could be available on certain sabers, but not others.

I 100% agree with this.  Because who wants a staff that is suppose to have the same color on both ends, but the hughs are off just enough to be noticeable.

Yes, a simple drop down menu for Forum Colors just like any other option would be simpler and easier for everyone. It's not that expensive an option compared with other wonders like battery setup and recharge port, which are very clearly labelled in their respective drop down menus too.

I think once they get consistent colours instead of experimental colours with slight flaws US will add these to the colour dropdown menu. AFAIK this was (and might still be) the way US develops and releases new colours. Some of the premium colours have been developed the same way, I think.

If they wanted to keep the forum colours just for members of the forum, they could have the drop down member only available once you login/sign up on the ultrasabers site. At the moment, anyone can just go on and buy stuff, which is great, but I thought the whole point of forum colours was to have it as something unique for us lot on the forum. the sign in option could make things easier and simpler all round.

I'd love to see starkillers, without the revealed crystal though
