Title: My new Crimson Reaper! Post by: Ansger on April 10, 2013, 12:49:57 AM I ordered my first saber with sound, and it just arrived today! I'll be making a video review eventually, but here are some pictures of my new Crimson Reaper in SY, silver FoC! Also a few pictures of my collection.

Post by: Ansger on April 10, 2013, 12:56:09 AM On a side note, it gets noticeably green near the tip, even when the battery is at full charge. Should I opt for picking up a standard mid-grade blade rather than an ultra edge blade for color purposes? not really sure what to do about that. Also there seems to be a couple scratches on the inside of the slant on the pommel, and there were a few metal shavings still peeling off the aluminum on the inside. The upper half of the hilt is a slightly lighter shade of red than the rest, and a few of the grooves have some of the red dinged off along them. This sounds really bad i guess but the issues are minor and don't really stop me from enjoying the saber

Point for the pictures and getting SY. ;) |
