Title: Hello from North Dakota!
Post by: Dano on June 20, 2017, 03:53:55 PM
Hello everyone, my name is Dan and I am from North Dakota. I have been a big fan of the Star Wars universe since I was very young. A few years ago, after doing some research, I splurged on what I thought would most likely be the only lightsaber I would ever buy, a US Scorpion in Consular Green, Silver FOC, and Obsidian Premium sound. I intended to begin dueling with one of my friends who also purchased a US at that time, but that never panned out, and I'm sad to say that it mostly sat in a corner and collected dust. Fast forward to the present time, and due to some large and recent changes in my life (a different story for a different time) I find myself with a lot more time on my hands and a little extra income. In looking for some new hobbies I stumbled upon my "Good Ol' Scorpion" and decided to do a LOT more research. So after the past few months I now have 4 Ultrasabers total and a 5th on the way haha! I have caught the Ultrasabers fever......and the only cure, I fear....is to have more Ultrasabers! I have combed through these forums many times, but have now finally worked up the courage to join it myself. I hope to see all of you around, and I think I will post some reviews of my sabers within the next few days. May the Force be with all of you!

Hello Dan and Welcome to the Saber Forum family, from Northeast Pennsylvania.

You can also add yourself to it to if you like.

Welcome. It's nice to see some other Lightside-ers around here. And yes, it really does become an illness. Ever since I bought my first one, I have had my next four lined out. It has been pretty slow for me, but eventually I will get them. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. The only thing we ask is that you first use the Search Function (picture with magnifying glass) to make sure that the question has not already been asked and answered. If you can't find the answers you seek, go ahead and ask. Someone will quickly come along and supply you with an answer.

Again, welcome.

Thank you Casey, I am glad as well! Also, I have read a few of your saber reviews in the past and found them to be quite informative and helpful, so thank you!

Props for the taste in the Scorp, but I'm not sure about the CG. ~¿~ The Scorp was my first as well. And although bulky, well balanced.

You get used to the hunger after a while. PPTTFfft! Who am I kidding? Too many is never enough. So spill it, beyond the Scorp, what do you have?

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

Haha thank you! Besides the Scorpion my collection thus far is as follows:

Aeon V4--Catalyst Pommel--Guardian Blue--Obsidian LITE
Catalyst--Guardian Blue--Obsidian V4
Sentinel V4 (Grab Bag)--Consular Green--Stunt

And although it is backordered, I have ordered a stunt Prophecy V3 in Sun Rider's Destiny

You seem to be favoring the solid hilts of the V-series. I think those do the best for dueling (read: fewer parts to shake loose).

You will love the Proph. But you need to get some red in the mix. ;)
