I ALMOST bought it. I have the cash, but I really need to get these court papers filed. Unfortunately the filing fees cost more than the saber fully loaded.

A little off topic but I can honestly say that you are going to be so glad that you did get those papers filed. I actually framed mine after my divorce. |

I'm loving the saber, but I have some concerns- first, the video says that we can get an AV switch with a bezel, instead of the activation box. But I don't see this option listed:(
Secondly, I am not sure where I would take this one- due to the way the claws look, I would be nervous about taking it out in public- all it takes is one cop thinking I've got real blades on that thing, and my night's over. I remember getting growled at for carrying a foam-padded practice sword as part of a costume one halloween, and the cop didn't back down when I showed him that it was nothing but foam with a wooden core the diameter of my thumb. "People might think it's real!" Somehow I suspect that even blunt claws made to look like knife or axe blades wouldn't go over well either.
Likewise, I am not sure if security at my local con would allow me to carry or wear it- would they treat it like another garden variety lightsaber, or would they treat those claws the same way they treat blunt metal knives worn as part of a costume? The rules for even blunt metal blades are that they must be sheathed at all times, never taken out. Blunt blades with no sheath must be handed over to con security, who will give it to you for the duration of the costume contest, and collect it from you as soon as you're off the stage.
So I love the look of this one, it's completely bad-ass. But I'm not sure where I could use it- something that can only be enjoyed in my own yard, for fear of legal issues, or con security rules isn't going to be as useful to me as a saber I can carry pretty much anywhere.
I don't mean this to be a wet blanket, I've just been chewed out by the police for carrying something far less menacing than this before, and I'm still kind of leery.
Although that said, I could see myself getting one of these and having a machinist or metalworker make me some smaller claws of a different style to swap out- I suspect a pair of phoenix's wings would look absolutely stunning, and be a little less likely to get me into trouble.

The AV switch comes with a bezel if you just order an AV switch without an activation box. |

Welp....I WAS trying to go something else first, BUT...this being my preferred saber on TOR (As well as I was trying to think up a way to mod a saber to look like this....this is perfect. Might (more than likely) going to make this my first saber.

As stated before; I'm so getting one.
This sucker's getting ordered by the end of the day today.
Blade LED Color:Blazing Red
Blade Option:36" Ultraedge Midgrade
Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck
Button Color:Red
Sound:Yes, Obsidian USB Sound w/ Red Illuminated AV Switch with Silver Activation Box
Flash on Clash:Flash Green
Malice Claw Size:Small
Malice Pommel Type:Square
Quick Disconnect:Nope.
Tip::Round Tip
Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!
Include Blade Plug:Yes
The one thing I can't decide is if I want the 40" blade. I see that 5" of blade is eaten up by the emitter, so I'd only have 31" from the emitter out. I'd lose another 5" with the claws. A 40" blade would help this, but it doesn't come in Ultraedge, which I love.
Anyone know how well Blazing Red looks without the Ultra-edge?

I personally prefer Midgrade with BR! It looks amazing! I will be getting this saber, might take a month to get the cash, but I will have one!! I'll have a hard time deciding on the led. Either Pyrestone with FO FoC , or BR with Silver FoC . As I am a SWTOR addict it will probably be BR .

Second this blade choice. Midgrade looks great with BR! Pyrestone would look amazing on this hilt too, although you have a point that the more traditional SWTOR look would be Blazing Red. Heck, I think it would look cool in Guardian Blue! |

I'm totally thinking about PO. I was so excited that the moments MJ's eyes fluttered open I shoved the tablet in her face to see the new saber. lol |

The hilt is gorgeous. If there was a price break for leaving off the blades I think I'd get it. Can we get word from Emory or Alex if we can special request for the blades to be left off for some credit, or, failing that, replaced with Glaive or Raven claws?
Love each and everything about it except the blades.

It really is a great looking saber. I like how it looks, or rather would look without the claws. I love the black activation box.
