You know what someone should make? A "Buy your UltraSaber" decision flowchart. You know, like:


< Do you want claws of some sort on your emitter? >
            |                             |
       YES  |                             | NO
            V                             V
 

Or maybe a survey/quiz with an internal scoring mechanism would work better.

"....every dollar you spend you will get one point.  10 points = $1 in store credit which you can store up..."

I noticed while reading under the "The End" section.

According to the "Rewards Program" link, the points conversion states, "20 points = $1 in store credit".

Might want to change that.  Incidentally, wonderful job on the buyers guide!  What a great resource!  Thank you!

I have a simple question. Been looking over the forums. And wanted to know length of  blade to the height of a person. I am looking at the Flamberge. I am 6ft. and am looking at the blade choices of 36' and 40'. I am leaning towards a 40', with the sides being 6'. And was wondering if lowering the length down to 36' is the better. Or is it just a preference thing?

Gizmo

PS. Just did some more reading, and it seems 36' is the way to go... Thanks to all of you that just read this. But I am guessing I answered my own question. LOL

Yeah, 36" will definitely be the way to go. 40" might be too long to handle since the Flamberge hilt itself is already quite long Cheesy

Got a question for anyone who has ordered a Bellicose since the website redesign.  How do you specify what color buttons, blade holder and pommel type you want?  They don't seem to be listed options anymore.

 They were listed options when I checked a moment ago.

            V                             V
 

Or maybe a survey/quiz with an internal scoring mechanism would work better.

Thinking about this, and how to break up the categories (no particular order):

Hilt type: Straight (most), curved (Mantises), crossguard (Omens, Flamberges), not important
Hilt colour: Black, black with silver hilights, black and silver, silver, silver with gold highlights, red, blue, not important
Claws: Yes, no, not important
Length: <10 inches, 10-12 inches, >12 inches, not important
MHS compatibility: Both ends, pommel only, none/not important
Covertec wheel: Standard, optional, none (Monarchs only), not important
Blade length: 40, 36, 32, 24, 18, other (additional cost), not important
RGB option: Yes, no, not important
Emerald option: Yes, no, with sound only, not important
Sound option: Yes, no, with Emerald only, not important
AV switch: Yes, no, not important

Possibly there could also be a way of advising people on options based on their height ("if under 5'10, get a 32" blade" or whatever).

I'm sure there are other options I'm forgetting, but that seems to cover most of it.

I see what it is.  It only lists those options for sound sabers, not stunts.   Undecided

The stunt setup screen is giving me the options.  Although the only blade holder available is black right now it seems.  Might be something with your computer, or browser?

The options showed up on the Bellicose with sound but not the stunt for me.  Seems rather selective to just be the computer or browser. 

Ok, it looks like the options show up on every Bellicose listing except the stunt with Emerald, which is what I was looking at.

Price range, maybe, but otherwise this is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about. Point for you. (Belated - I've been away.)

if you buy the dominix v3 with sound and you choose a color like arctic blue, does it come with the RGB buttons as well? because it has to have the RGB to make that color?

Hi.  No you will get the LED in the single mixed color whether the saber is a stunt or sound.  Your only option for this saber is to purchase the Emerald driver.  There are sales on either RGB for some specific sabers and Emerald for most v3 and and v4 plus the v2 Archon.  Just have to wait to see what comes up.   Smiley
