Hi Jedi Phoenix and Starflicker, Yes Christopher Lee was very experienced in fencing (having had around 400 on screen duels iirc) and he talks about some of them in this YT video (apologies but I diidn't know where to post this so both members could see it - so if the Mods want to move it somewhere more appropriate I understand) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef4njNsDVos#Finally to Starflicker, congrats on winning such a neat saber. Hopefully US will come up with a new curved hilt one day.

May we all be so blessed to live that full a life.... One thing the video doesn't mention; Lee was John Carpenter's first choice to play Dr. Loomis in Halloween, but Lee turned it down. He later said that turning down the role was perhaps the biggest mistake of his career. What could have been, hmm? |

Loomis would’ve had quite a different attitude, that’s for sure. Although hard to imagine anyone but Donald Pleasence reciting those lines at this point  |

Okay, now I know I've got it bad....I've got a notebook open and I'm writing down a shopping list of all the sabers I want, including writing down the specs and configurations and prices for future reference. And not just Ultrasabers, there are a few of the other guys' sabers I've got my eye on. I have a feeling my future youtube channel is going to be very lightsaber heavy, althoughI do have a few other ideas for it. It certainly is a fun hobby.....  |

Point for you...not sure if you prefer light or dark though. Let me know and I’ll switch up if i got it wrong. My love of MBs have not diminished. I’ve ordered 6 at this point. Which is nothing compared to those people unboxing 20 at a clip. But even I could spend that much on lightsabers in one fell swoop, I might get at least one really good saber with some bells and whistles out of the deal. Then order those MBs separately to tide me over during the wait as you said Light? Dark? It's all about balance! Ordered the MB on Sunday, arrived on Thursday. Aeon V3 in blue. Not entirely sure which blue it is. It's lighter than my old Force FX Skywalker blue. Same saber as my first MB, just different color and finish. Sent customer service an email in response to the "delivery confirmation" message. I'll pass on any info I get back. |

Aeon v3 is a very nice saber. IMO.
Simple, nice balance, easy to spin, and lots of potential for customization.
Blue is a great bonus, because if you get a Photon Blade the blue will make it glow amazingly.

According to Matthew, the expected wait time on the Combat Ready Fallen is 4-6 weeks.
That's a better quote than I got. I was told on Thursday that it was still 9 to 11 weeks. |

From Sunday to Thursday? That's a pretty good turnaround time. Sounds like you might have gotten Arctic Blue for a color if its a lighter blue than normal. |

Old or new, I'd say any updates are welcome among the community. |

My second prize from the summer raffle.  Azure Mantis GB, Obsidian Lite, no claws, silver A/V, squared pommel, left side Covertech Pros: The color! This is a thing of beauty and the GB works so well with it. The aesthetic. This thing is elegant (IMO) like it is designed for dueling one handed, very much like proper fencing. Cons: No Flash on Clash No volume control One Sound Font All my sabers are now here and there will not be any more for a while as my wallet has sustained several significant wounds lately. However, I will be watching for flash sales and other good deals. Apologies if this is not quite the proper place for this post. Lucky you. I ordered one of those back in July and I'm still waiting on it. |

Given that, last week, I was quoted 5-7 weeks, this seems like it is now pretty firm. |

So good news ladies and gentlemen!
The 4-6 week wait was very much an overestimate and I got an email yesterday saying that both holts were shipping already! 2 months from order to delivery is not bad at all.
And people on Reddit told me I was stupid for buying from this company. Turns out they have a new lifelong customer!!!
