Saber Forum

Couldn't be helped. A disturbance in the Force has led me to my new Butcher.  But wait, something more seems to be calling me.....(to be continued). Who else will answer the call, and with what?

I was lucky to get in on the fall raffle, so the BF sale is not in the stars for me. I’ve managed to get in on about every other sale or so—so hopefully the Christmas sale will be a go for me. I’ve got a lot of holiday shopping to deal with between now and then. Fingers crossed. Worst case scenario, there might be another MB under my tree :)

I'll likely be waiting for the Winter raffle, rather than getting in on this.
Needing to clear some things out, and find some more space here

I need a new stunt staff so maybe

I'm at least going to pick up an empty hilt that's had my eye for ages. 15% off and $100 free shipping is too good to pass up on. (the hilt is just over $100 with the discount) If I can afford it, maybe a Dark Sentinel V5 stunt to get me into free blade plug range. :)

I'm broke, but I hope to see some cool pictures out of those who do take part.

Looking forward to seeing what you’ll get.

I’m thinking about one as well...

I’m also broke. BUT, I’m in total agreement with Sci-do, as I’d like to try to get an empty savior or shock, or maybe and EH for a cool build. Money off and free shipping is almost too tempting!!

Until my pre-order V5's ship, this years' saber orders are complete, except my fall raffle prize. So no Black Friday sale for me.

I'll be in on this baby, as this will serve as my December birthday present to me from my wife and kids. Best present!

Marlena at US is a ninja, I emailed to ask if a covertec wheel came with the screw to install it yourself (it does). She then went into detail about how to do it with links to the tools you'd need for the job. That's going above right there.

My order will be:

Dark Apprentice V4 LE
Stunt
Emitter windows
Std battery setup (have an AA pack to swap)
Black AV
Tri-AS
Dark Catalyst pommel

This ones been on the wish list for a long time, very excited to wield this and behold it's simple beauty :)

Honestly I'm eyeing a v2 initiate staff.  Or the full size.  Idk.

I made a purchase RIGHT BEFORE they announced the sale :-(…true story! would have liked that extra 5% off >:(

I'd suggest emailing US and see if they can tuck your order into the sale promo. Then you know you've tried at least :)

I want to but have to sit this one out as well

When is your birthday? Mine is Dec 9th.

Same, Dec 9th! :o  We look to be close in age as well I'm guessing I'm a bit older lol, my year is '78.

On that fun note, I just finished placing my order :)

That's cool, especially the info about the wheel coming with a screw. Ultrasabers takes care of us. :)

If you don't already have an Apprentice, you will love it. It is such a great hilt.

He's crossing one off of his wishlist. :) He's got me looking at the same hilt. (but probably the silver and gold version) I've wanted one for a long time too.

Yeah this is a wish list hilt, my daughter has the all silver one with windows and its had me wanting one since she gots hers long ago. Scifi and I have lamented over not having one of these a few times over, now is the time ... so pumped.

Haha cool about the days being the same but you are way off on the age. I have 8 years in you, my year is '70.

Alright I concede lol.

I'm probably going to have to sit this sale out. Buying stuff for Thanksgiving dinner set me back a bit, then there's bills and whatnot. But, the great thing about Ultrasabers is that there will be more sales. I may just wait until something I really want hits a flash sale or DOTD. 8) One particular hilt I have my eye on hits that DOTD rotation fairly regularly.

Couldn't resist the sale to order my first Diamond saber.

Excellent choice; you'll love it.

I ordered my Renegade near the end of development of my "Son of Darkness" Kylo Ren-inspired font because, you know... I had to have the appropriate saber for it Lol. It seems I can justify anything when it comes to sabers.

I got mine in Diamond as well and - black-on-black-on-black.... on black. Nothing but black on my Renegade.

As far as the Black Friday sale is concerned... I'd certainly love to get my first staff. I have two Menace SE Diamond sabers and a coupler in my wish list currently, and it would be nice to pull the trigger on that.

However, I think I have to fight the addiction this time, because I should probably purchase some Christmas gifts Lol.

I may sneak in a quick stunt Dark Apprentice V5 LE in SRD with an upgraded pommel.

my Butcher is going to be here on Wednesday.....too excited for words.

I'm sitting this one out but hoping to join the next. Enjoy !

Hmmm don't recall the specs Malik, how'd you order it?

I know how you feel so it's understandable.

I jumped in on this for sure. Getting a classic black spectre in emerald to go with my engraved Spectre (Spectre staff coming!!!) and getting a diamond butcher. Pockets are empty after this. I'm officially done till next year....like fall of next year lol. May have to dial my presence down on the forums to prevent temptation.

Wow that is a heck of a purchase Rash!

Rash, you are a BEAST. Two Spectres!! AND a Butcher?!!? Wow. Guess you went for it. I can't wait to see the pictures and videos. I'm tempted to buy another saber myself. Torn between a Raven, a Monarch or an Aeon LE V5.

Daughter just told me she wanted a Aron V5 LE in SY (stunt) so I ordered that for her. Wasn't expecting on getting in the Black Friday deals but hey, kids LOL.

**Green with envy**

A Spectre Staff!?!? Have a point for creativity :)

Smart girl. She’s being raised right. Point for that tx

What? We would never tempt you!




Seriously, glad you were able to get in on it. The Spectre looks sick and I know the Butcher is awesome. :)

Thanks! And thanks Malik and Edon. Yeah i ultimately couldn't decide between the two styles and liked them both too much.

I actually have a used emerald/v4 board combo I got from someone who gutted their hilt so am doing that install in an empty hilt of a black spectre. I just finished attached the boards to a US battery pack and speaker earlier today. Tomorrow I'm attaching the actual LED module and it should be good to go (I hope) then once I get the hilt in it goes. The butcher is my real baller purchase. I managed to persuade my fiancé to let me get another saber since my birthday is in two weeks AND I just got a promotion at work (yay more money!) Two tho was a stretch but I got the parts for one at a deal and I'm saving 15% on both sabers. But that really is it for me after this. I'll have to live vicariously through all of you!  :)

And bah looks like I missed that extra presale discount on the Butcher. They just ended the presale today lol. Was hitting the purchase button on both these on payday this Friday. Snooze ya lose I guess.....

Bahahaha! Well maybe not but can't take the chance. Admittedly I have no will power. I'd actually make a terrible Jedi and would probably take the side of whoever can offer me the shiniest things.....so naturally the sith.  :D

Nice that sounds like an excellent choice, looking forward to seeing it!  Great dad, is it a Christmas present or just cause?

It's been 2 years since I last bought some sabers, and that was during a raffle where I won 2 Emerald sabers (still think back to how amazing that was).

I... splurged somewhat. >.>

I almost pulled the trigger and ordered for the raffle a few weeks ago, but the timing wasn't right.

I ordered: (All stunt sabers)
Aeon LE v5 (SRD)
2 Sentinel LE v5 (AB and SRD)
Spectre (FO, w/ windows, w/ engraving, w/ d-ring, angled activation box)
Consular (CG, Nickel finish)
Arbiter (GB)

And I'm getting them all with 32" blades, as I think the 36" is a bit too long for me (despite my being 6' tall). Also, given that I already have, like, 6 36" blades, I didn't really need more. ;)

I promptly redeemed those points in order to purchase a stunt Apprentice LE v5 (AB)

So... it'll probably be another 2 years until I order again, but I can safely say that my hunger has been sated... for now...

Just because you're six feet or more doesn't mean you need a longer blade. I fact, I'm a few inches over six feet and like a 32 because I hit the ceiling too much with a 36 when I spin it.

Well my order shipped today.  I can already see it in my hands  8)

Don't worry Rash, we can share my Butcher. (figuratively speaking with an evilish smile). It's here tomorrow. Now I have to decide to wait for the Christmas raffle or order another saber this Friday?

I agree. I have a nice 36 inch blade that came with my very first purchase. And being close to six foot, it was just banging into the ceiling--and even some furniture i thought was far enough away not to actually hit. I've gone with the 32 with all my other sabers and purchased a 24 inch initiate blade just for practicing indoors. Not sure how the balance would be on the 24 for heavier sabers. It does just fine on my Liberator though.

Went back and forth on jumping on the BF sale for my Chosen One SE or waiting for the winter raffle.  In the end, I'm gonna wait for the raffle.  I want to try my luck since A) I've never done one before, B) Finances are a little tight with 2nd kid due in the end of January, and C) The first person to post on my introductory thread won the Diamond Prize in the Fall Raffle (Kazuto).

Looking forward to seeing it soon Haz!

Thanks!  I'm pumped to share ... I've admired the Apprentice V4 line in a seriously way for 2 yrs this'll be a good first meeting!   

Thanks brother. Christmas. She also has Jedi boots on the way and I'm getting her the rest of her Jedi outfit for Christmas. She is trying to join Saber Guild (already does some training with them) so everything has to fit to their specs.

Friggin got me! With the money off, free shipping, and using all my points got an Archon v3 stunt on the way. Couldn’t help myself. Hi, my name is Gum, and I’m a saber addict. The Archon v3 is my absolute favorite US hilt, and I can’t believe it actually taken me this long to go in on one. It’s going to be set aside for an “Ultimate” Saber build, eventually, with the best soundboard I can get my hands on at the time. Probably next year. Gotta love a US sale!!!

[Many voices] Hello Gum!
 ;D

Hello Gumby and welcome to the Addiction's Circle! We have lots of new members alike

With your comment, it occurred to me that UltraSabers should be doing pretty well from a fiscal point of view. Myself included, it seems that the majority of new members that find themselves here on the forum either already are or eventually become saber addicts.

So, UltraSabers and Saber Forum.Com are like Hotel California... "You can check out any time you like but, you can never leave Lol.

Exactly, you get it, DPM!

I sense truth in your words  ;D

Point for quoting an awesome song  ;)

So here's my  Butcher. Ot did happen!!!

I think the link is broken all I see is a flying giraffe via jet pack.

He's a better link, i hope.

https://youtu.be/vFJF_7BWatc

That worked just fine, Malik and an excellent video also. Points my friend.

Hey, thanks. I just got it and I already love this saber.  Definitely one of my top 3 sabers.

No more sabers, until the Christmas raffle that is. Raven, Monarch or a Dark Shock, maybe???

If there’s a Christmas sale, I should be able to save for that

IF there's a Christmas raffle. Raffles are much less predictable than sales are. For example, we can almost certainly say that there will be a sale around Christmas, there usually is. Can't say for certain there will be a raffle, though.

Gah, a Raven has been on my radar for a long time. If you're taking a poll that'd have my vote.


Edit:   Ok back to this Raven thing -

Raven 1 - PO/AS FoC, black/yellow AV, std claws, Obs V4, std pommel.

Raven 2 - SY/AS FoC, black/red AV, std claws, Obs V4, SS pommel.

Duel wield non-identical twin Ravens, that's the dream anyhow.

My order is available at the post office, will get after an unboxing video and some pics later on.

Can't wait to see them!

WHY IS ULTRASABERS KILLING ME WITH THESE SALES?!! 20% off now?! I am about to sell my cat. (Just kidding she's a cutie). Still US makes it SO hard to resist lol. If I had any money at this point I would grab a v5 but I have nothing but butterflies and lint in my pockets. My sabers are coming in tomorrow at least to distract me. I am ecstatic.

Rash, i know your pain. I'm thinking about getting a v5 myself. So close. Don't know if I can fight it.

Unboxing video fail (ran out of memory in dang phone) equals pics instead ...

Haz, that's a good looking saber.

Anyone else get an email about a 30% flash sale for an Archon v2.1? I applied the code and it worked, so I now have one ordered.

I did but everything is on hold until after Christmas

Thanks a lot, Malik :)

*

I saw that Archon flash sale (drool ...).

yeah, an Archon v 2.1 for 30% off? No way I could pass that up.

I'm intentionally trying **not** to look at the savings on an empty hilt at 30% off. It's not working. :P

I know the feel.  Back to back sales, raffles, and continuous flash sales are killing me

I wish it would have come out earlier. But, I’m not sad. I’ve got an arrival tomorrow, although, I won’t be able to open it till x-mad morning when “Santa” officially delivers it.😢

So  Monarch, Dark Monarch or Nickel plated Monarch?? (Dark would be customized a bit. 1st time for me but I have a plan. ) i am going to get a nickel plated saber at some point. What say you o forum?

My desire to eventually swap pommels means that a nickel finish is out as I don't like the miss match silver. So it'd either be the std or dark, in which case I think the dark looks a touch more dynamic.

No Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales for this guy. However, 30% off an Archon 2.1 is too good to pass. I ordered a stunt but asked in the order notes that they not assemble it. I want to do it myself, with some changes.

Guess I'm leaning towards the dark. Got a plan for customizing it a bit. Should I get it now, (just got my Butcher), or wait for Christmas sale?
Can't wait to see what you do with the saber SciFi.

Dark Monarch is big, about the same size as my Emperor's Hand:

(https://i.imgur.com/jPNrAXn.jpg)

It is a great looking saber though. VERY solid feeling.

Thanks for the info. Is dark Monarch as heavy as Emperor's Hand?

Just ordered my 1st ultra saber! Finally made the jump from black series models and went big. Just ordered the dark savior with blazing red blade and lite sound. Soo stoked. Can't wait to receive it.  Can anyone help me out on estimated arrival times? I ordered if November 27th

The Monarch may be heavier by a couple ounces. Too tough to judge just by hefting them.

Congratulations on that first saber. The Savior is a great choice.

They should build the saber and ship it out within a few days. Then it's a few days to a week until it arrives, depending on where you are.

If you haven't received an order shipment notification today or tomorrow, you should latest get it Monday. If it ships tomorrow, dependent on delivery service, you should get it by Thursday, maybe Saturday of next week. FedEx is usually 3 business days from Texas to Pennsylvania, USPS is a day or 2 later, but may be affected because A LOT of deliveries started up this week.

My FedEx deliveries get routed thru HAGERSTOWN, MD then next day to PHILADELPHIA, PA and delivered within 6 hours of that update. Since Amazon has co-opted the Postal Service to get free shipping for their orders, the Post Offices are getting overloaded with parcels.

V2.1 was the next saber I wanted,  and 30% off is awesome!! The last saber I bought was the Consular,  and 2 tell u the truth,  its been In a corner collecting dust, and my other sabers do the same thing,  except the 1ns I spin with,  which r the 3 Warz In the arsenal!! I dig my sabers, but buying sabers just to buy sabers, 2 fill a need 2 have another saber has gotta go!! That was the way I felt adding 2 the arsenal I have now!! Its insane when collectively I think of all the money I spent 2 have my arsenal!! Ill swallow my saber chill pill and enjoy watching others drop billz 4 saber thrillz!!! Whoever gets the V2.1 congratz,  cause 30% is the biggest discount I've ever sighted!!!!

Received my Savior yesterday, but am unable to open it yet because I want to do an unboxing video but not able to get outside yet to do so.

My Archon v 2.1 just shipped and should be receiving it 12/6. Still no update on the pre-sale V5's yet though. Hopefully they'll ship soon so I can have a nice X-Mas.

Your V5 order may not have shipped yet but you do have some serious excitement at hand. Let us know when your ready to post your unboxing video those are always fun.

30% off the Guardian now. (no, I didn't buy one, I'm just saying) Ultrasabers is going all out this Holiday season. :)

I too got an Archon 2.1 shipping notification. Man, that's fast. Two days. Sure, I asked them not to assemble it, but that's beside the point. The last "other guys" order I did was an empty hilt, nothing else. Took two weeks to ship. Nobody does it as fast as Ultrasabers. 8)

If a Graflex SE or CE pops up next for flash sale, especially at 30% off, i'll probably jump at the chance. I'm tempted to get another Guardian for an X-Mas present, but the Graflex is higher on that wish list. The Archon V 2.1 was just a gut buy.

I'd love to see either the Graflex or Chosen One hit a flash sale.

I have a Guardian, I just need to put electronics in it. I need to get a Dremel for what I have in mind, though.
