Saber Forum

Alright, in the last few months I have gotten into a couple of expensive hobbies, sabers and 501st Legion. 

Ultra Sabers has been kind enough to feed my desire for quality and beauty on the Saber front and here are my latest acquisitions, a grab bag and 4 $75 mystery boxes:

Grab Bag:

Well, how about that.  It's a Fulcrum with Emerald LED controls and basic sound!  Out of a $75 mystery box!?! Thank you Ultra Sabers!  That is amazing!  I could not find a way to configure this in the shop, but a Fulcrum with just Emerald is $345, so I imagine the sound puts it around $400!

The most striking thing about this saber, other than the bold design, is the heft!  This guy is heavy!  If all else fails it would make a pretty fine bludgeon!

Full review incoming in a few days for this fine piece of craftsmanship!  I just wanted to get a post up in between swinging this Fulcrum around!

Thanks again Ultra Sabers!  You guys rock!

I totally took my time going through your post, letting each reveal happen one at a time :D

Great hilts, but all that blue was starting to get to me lol.

Then with the last one and that peice sticking out, at first I thought Graflex bunny ears - but no a Fulcrum in emerald.

Congrats and just awesome seeing all you got in 8)

Congratulations. Those are some fine sabers. And all in Blue. Wonderful. Then came the big boy. What a beauty. Very nice sabers there.

Emerald with Lite sound?  Wow, I've never heard of that.  Interesting.

Those are some fine sabers, I have most of those (don't have a Fulcrum) and they're all great hilts.  :)

Love seeing mystery box threads. So nice sabers there, I really like that AB and I hope you too do LOL. That Fulcrum is pretty sweet.

I think by "basic" they mean V3


Very nice handful of sabers there! So much arctic blue 😍

Yeah take out the motherboard, if you see two different ports you have Emerald with V3 sound. Not lite sound. You can change the sound fonts on the V3 but have to hook up to a computer to do it.

First off: congratulations!  Those are some wonderful sabers; you can never go wrong with blue  ;).  And emitter windows are always a bonus IMO^^  Again: awesome score  :D

Nice score on that Fulcrum.

Just ordered another mystery box myself. Hope I get something similar.

It must be a V3 then.  The interior boards look pretty much the same as my emerald + V4 Emperor's Hand with each board having a mini USB port.  I am not up on the V3 at all so when I held the switch down and didn't get the obsidian splash notification, I assumed it was a lite.  I also tried connecting it to the software and it wouldn't pick up that board.  I was able to get emerald connected with no problem. It looks like I will have to give it another go with the software.  Frankly, I was more than happy with it even with lite sound, so I just went back to swinging it:) If it is a V3 that is even more amazing.  That is a whole lot of saber for $75!

Nice sabers for sure. At least the Emerald Green breaks up the blues a bit :P

Yeah V3 you can't change with the button/switch. I have V3 on a saber I got in a mystery box also but really don't have a computer to hook it up to besides my wife's. So haven't messed with it yet.

Usually with the sound board the batteries need some fresh charge in them for the software to pick it up. That'll prob fix the connection issue.

Looks like the force is trying to tell you blue is your color.  Even that awesome Fulcrum looks to have a touch of blue in the first pic.

Very very nice  ;D

Quite simply if the saber is using Li-ION batteries to support the Emerald Driver... which it should... then the basic is indeed an Obsidian v3.  LITE was never officially referred to as " basic " unless member's saber lingo was sloppy.  I recall a time when referring to the color of a blade... we would say what is the color of the LED... not what is the color of the blade... as that is in reference to the silver or clear foil/film placed inside the blade polycarb tubing.  And now the original color can be changed so easily.

Lecture on proper saber terminology and etiquette now over... move along... nothing to see here.  :P ;D

An excellent run there with the mystery boxes. And I agree with Edon about them possibly trying to tell you something

I was able to confirm that the sound is a V3.  I am having a lot better luck with my laptop than desktop with the software so far, I think it is due the USB version issue. 

Been browsing through the sound font forum looking for a good one for this saber.

I did play around with the emerald driver too.  I settled on a nice purple for now.
