The Graflex CE is stunning!! The quality of an Ultrasaber never ceases to amaze. The nickel plating takes these sabers to a whole new level of artistic beauty. It is balanced very nicely. I forgot that they offered the mid grade and the UEMG but I think the mid grade compliments the nickel plating on this saber nicely. Master Nero said that on the original prop the grips on the back were rubber. Which is probably why I thought that the grips here were going to be rubber, seeing the prop hilts and expecting rubber. It is a small qualm compared to the results of the product, which includes the sound. The sound is amazing. Iturmed on the sound and my dad had to pull my head out of the ceiling. Actually I just went "yeah crank up the saber baby." The sound is nice and loud. Next the anticipated Emerald driver The Emerald driver is amazing. I am astounded by how easy it is to change colors. It's as easy to change colors as it is to change blades. Next the Reaper The Azure Reaper is a blue beauty, the elegance of this saber is indescribable, it is truly a saber among sabers. It's balance is a little more forward then the Graflex, or Guardian but it's weight seems negligible. It is amazing I have not seen such detail on a saber yet. Lastly the Archon. I got the Archon in Violet Amethyst as a stunt. The Archon is MHS on both pommel and emitter, which comes with a male neck. It is awesome what you can do with this combo like the Great Sabers that Eerockk did. It is also very light, it is lighter than even an Aeon or a Prophecy. All three sabers came with recharge ports and this is very convenient. The Graflex is very tight with the Emerald and obsidian and I could not imagine trying to get the batteries out. The Archin is just handy that way. The reaper I'd imagine is similar in tightness to the Graflex. These sabers are awesome and I am quite happy with them as they are and would happily recommend them to anyone who is interested. Video to follow. And for those who are wondering the Eerockk original Greatsaber thread http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=13958.0

We are! In fact here's a pic of what I did with the Graflex, the Reaper, the Archon, and the Guardian. Pieces used to make connections include 1 coupler, 1 Archon neck, the choke of Guardian pommel connected to an inverted Prophecy pommel.

Yeah to add to my earlier comments I am enjoying the Emerald Driver more and more every day. For instance say today my four year old brother wants to beat up a sith, no problem, hook up the Emerald Driver to the computer Change main color to BR and 2 minutes later boom a sith for the day. Then tomorrow turn it to whatever color I want and JediJosh is back to train his apprentice:).
