Just made the biggest order I've ever done over a computer. Nickel-plated Guardian in SY and Archon 2.1 in Arctic Blue. Plus a black adjustable coupler for the free Initiate to go with either my Dark Initiate v3 or Dominix LE v3. Nervous and excited all at the same time. Agh!
Nickel-plated Guardian in SY... (closes eyes and enters meditative state) ... Ok. I THINK I can get through the rest of my day without placing an order now... Maybe... :-) Excellent choice! Though I think when I finally am able to order mine it will be AS. The filter swatchbook will provide me with the perfect SY. And AB. And CG. And BR. and... Yeah. Oh yes... (goes back to meditation) |

The Guardian was the first saber I ever wanted from US but I had to dip my toe in first with a couple grab bags and eventually a Bellicose. But I had some spare change so I figured that it was time I splurge a little bit. Unfortunately my order is still processing over 30 hours later so I'm assuming they're getting a large amount of orders. Normally my orders get shipped within a few hours of being placed. But that's alright, I know what I'm getting will be worth the wait.

Thirty hours is still a drop in the bucket compared to other sabersmith's who take 2-4 weeks or more to ship a saber. We have all been so spoiled by Ultrasabers awesomeness that 30 hours seems like a long time. |

Agreed. I'm with you Darshad. The day is approaching when I will be able to order my Guardian. I should have just ordered it up front, what I want on it hasn't changed outside of the actual blade color. Deals like the ones they're running now and this new Maticore distract me from my purpose occasionally, but my next order WILL BE THE GUARDIAN! :-)

LOL Or not... My "Guardian" account continues to acrue, but I was drawn to the RGB offer like a moth... So I used an unexpected bonus to scratch two other itches at once. On the way: a stunt Bellicose with RGB. No other features. So now, NOW my NEXT order will be the Guardian. Yeah... (Addicted? No, I'm not addicted. I can stop anytime! Really) |

Been there, Karmack. My next 'sabre last July/August was going to be a Reaper... then it was out of stock and, somehow, 14 hilts later I haven't quite got around to taking it off my wishlist  |

Oh, James, somehow that doesn't reassure me... ;-)
OK, once again US shocks me. Ordered at 12:25pm yesterday. Shipped at 6:45pm yesterday. Will be here Monday.
I'll have to see about doing a real review of this one. I've heard a lot about the RGB sabers. I am very excited to add one to my own collections.
And the next one WILL be my Guardian! IT WILL IT WILL IT WILL...

You will like it. I have a Dark War Glaive with RGB and I am a fan. Nothing like being able to go from light side to dark side at the push of a button, and the Bellicose is perfect for that because it looks like it can be a light or dark saber. I don't have one yet but it's on my wantlist. |

I couldn't help myself. I convinced myself to purchase the Graflex in Guardian Blue. There is something about the classic Ep IV saber since it was the first one we all saw. So I had to get it. I'll post pics of it with some side by side shots of it next to my Hasbro Force Fx one.  |

Trying to decide between that one and the new Manticore CE...decisions decisions. |

The Graflex is probably one of the most iconic sabers, and I agree that when you get it, you almost HAVE to get it in GB or AB. :-) Can't wait to see it next to its cousin, either. |

i agree I have it with the 4 channel Emerald driver and I change my colors often yet it always seems to go back to that iconic blue:). |

Ah, Memphis, we meet again...
Depending how quickly it clears through Memphis, my package might even arrive on Monday, which would be much earlier than I was expecting.

I was considering to either buy an emerald Consular with sound or an RGB Overlord with sound as my first Ultrasaber. The summer sale with today's deal of the day sealed it for me: I've ordered the RGB Overlord. Now we wait to see how long until it ships, and then until it gets delivered to The Netherlands. It would be nice if it made it here before the second of August.  |
