Title: US Collections
Post by: JapzLapeno on February 04, 2013, 04:56:40 AM
I don't know if there's a thread for everyone to post pics of their saber collections, but i've seen a few of individuals posting theirs.  Please feel free to use this as a mass collections thread if there isn't one already.

Here are the Ultrasabers that belong to my wife, my son, and me.  I have them grouped by Obsidian (first 4) and Stunt (the V2s).  Consular with Malice emitter, Archon pommel, and 40" blade in Blazing Red (Kyoufu), Crimson Reaper in Arctic Blue (Sanjuro), Graflex CE with Consular pommel in Violet Amethyst, Initiate V3 LE with Graflex CE pommel in Consular Green, Aeon V2 LE in Consular Green (grab bag), customized Dominix V2 in SunRider's Destiny (grab bag), and Initiate V2 in Guardian Blue.  My wife owns the Graflex and Dominix, my son owns the Initiates.  These pics don't include my mother's stunt Graflex SE in Guardian Blue, or my brother's Obsidian Dark Liberator V3 in Consular Green.  Blade colors don't quite show up right in group photos and some of these have UE blades.  Also the AAA batteries have nothing on the Trustfire Li-Ions.

Loose parts are the Initiate V3 pommel (replaced by my wife's Graflex pommel so my 2 year old son won't poke his Obsidian speaker), Dark Violet Amethyst MLS (swaps into my Consular), Consular emitter, and Manticore emitter (swaps onto my Consular with the DVA MLS for my Light Side configuration).

I'm hoping to add a Guardian pommel for my Consular/Malice (Kyoufu) saber, and my wife and i both have our next sabers picked out whenever we get the money for them.

Here's mine from another post.  As per my sig with a few parts swapped/added.  My sig sabers with colour/colour are Obsidian FoC blade/flash.  Single colours (and my sole RGB) are stunts.  Dark Reaper enroute.

Saint, love your Archon and Dark Initiate extentions.  Had to look twice to figure out what they were because they flow together so well.  Very nice.

Thanks JL.  While I whole heartedly agree beauty is in the eye, I think there are certainly some basic design...guidelines...that help hilt-appeal.   :)  I'm not a graphic artist or such, but when I let go of my feelings, I can sense whether the force flows smoothly or violently through any particular hilt.   ;)

Can't wait for my stunt (Dark) Reaper next week to add it's parts to my toy box.   ;D

Cheers!

Collection update.  Bought a new Phantasm V3, and included my mother's stunt Graflex SE in GB and my brother's Dark Liberator V3 in CG.

Off.

On, taken in the same lighting conditions (ceiling fan light, camera flash on) less than a minute later, camera readjusted to the massive rise in light.

Your mom into Ultra Sabers?! Ubber awesome! My mom won't even buy one. xp I will have to post my collection since this is a thread for collections. That malice of yours is huge too. And I didn't know you could buy the Graflex pommel. I'll have to get me one.

I think it came from the Graflex he has. The Overlord's pommel would be very similar to the Graflex's, but mind the lack of resonance chamber on the low profile pommels. The sounds lose their depth (not volume) with the lack of resonance chamber!

This is an awesome thread to stare at on a Friday! (Waiting to bust out of work)...

Here is my collection. As you can see its still bright out side and the blades still show up in the pictures. The Bellicose is regular Heavy Grade, Dominix and Aeon Ultra Edge Heavy Grades, and the two Libbys just regular Mid Grades. Sorry for the late post though. I meant to post some pictures a few weeks ago but couldn't find the right time to do it you know so the pictures turn out good but I think these are good pictures. So enjoy.

From left to right. Liberator, Aeon, Bellicose, Dominix, blue Liberator:

Saint...  Holy crap on a cracker, i think i actually started to salivate.  And then the boxes of parts.  Good lord.  Nice.

My mom's into Star Wars, the original trilogy era.  Got her the Graflex cause it's so close to the original.  She's wanted a lightsaber since 1977, but never spent the money on herself to get even the Force FX ones, so we got her that for Christmas.

The Graflex pommel on the Initiate V3 is from my wife's Graflex CE which is now sporting the Consular's pommel as my Consular currently has the Archon pommel (which they do sell seperately).  Had to shuffle the pommels around a bit to keep the 2 year old from poking his speaker.

The Malice emitter is on my Consular with an Archon pommel.  Ordered a Guardian pommel to use on that configuration to give it a more barbarian feel.  It's so dang heavy, if i had a heavy grade blade in it, i'd really feel like Conan the Barbarian swinging the thing around.  Almost feel that way as it is.  Finally got the emitter to line up the way i wanted with the hilt.  Stuck an O-ring on the emitter.  If i every make a staff out of sabers with slanted emitters i'm probably going to go the same route because i HATE not having stuff line up right.  Love how they addressed that with the Reaper.

I'll have an update post here in a week or so when that pommel and my wife's Phantasm show up.

Love seeing other people's collections, all the different hilt/color combinations and all the configurations with other parts.  Some of the unique combinations of parts look amazing and go together really well.

Here's my collection. Started in November of 2012 and can't seem to stop haha. I have a Dark Prophecy V3 in GB that's on the way and should be here next Tuesday. I have the Initiate v2, Initiate V3, the Phantom Initiate V3, and my Raven RGB. Raven doesn't have a blade on it due to a crack in the blade (funny story there and it being totally my fault). US has been the best and I don't see myself stopping, unless the wife says so.  :D

The Dark Liberator is my brother's and the Graflex SE is my mother's.  The Initiates are my son's.  The Graflex CE, Dominix V2, and PO Phantasm are my wife's.  Kyoufu, the Crimson Reaper, the Guardian, Aeon V2, and SY Phantasm are mine.  I would have gotten my father one, but he scoffs at any weapon that's not an actual weapon.  His loss.

Putting some of my saber pics on facebook got one of my friends interested in buying an Ultra Saber.  I'm not sure exactly, but i think he's looking at getting an Archon.

Ultra FX Anakin conversion to AS, I have a Blue/green lee filter currently going for a Sunriders Destiny look.
Ultra FX Obi-Wan conversion to CG
Guardian w Obsidian in GB
Dominix V2 in BR (Grab bag saber)
Dark Arbiter w Obsidian in BR w FOC AS
Nickel Plated Prophecy V3 w Obsidian in GB (Raffle Prize)
Archon V2.1 w Obsidian in SY w FOC AS and yellow A/V switch

(http://i1358.photobucket.com/albums/q764/spidie2000/0666e2b7-584f-48d9-b7f8-addc23be46b5_zpsc3f8dee5.jpg)

And as I take these pictures I can really notice how much brighter the sabers that have the Lion setup are.  I'm pretty sure the AA batteries in my old Ultra FX sabers need to be replaced.

^ jl ,which is your favourite most desired saber in that most incredible armoury?

That's an easy question for my wife.  Her's is the first one we ever ordered, her Graflex CE in VA.  She wanted the classic Luke Skywalker saber in purple.  I researched online and decided that US seemed to have the best product for the lowest price.  I have yet to order a saber from anywhere else, and doubt i will unless someone offers something completely awesome looking within the same price range or lower (when i have permission to buy more).

For me, i have to break it into categories:

My most sought after saber was the final customization of Kyoufu, the Conan the Barbarian looking axe saber.  It started as my first saber for myself, a Consular with nickel shroud in BR.  Then it became a concept i drew up in MS Paint, i ordered the parts, added an O-ring to make the parts line up, and changed the pommel to match the barbarian look the rest of it has.

For single blade, i love my Crimson Reaper (Sark) now that i flipped the pommel claw to face away from me.

For staff i of course have to go with my Phantasm which i recently named Suzumebachi (japanese for Sparrow Bee, the Asian Giant Hornet) because of the black and yellow colors of the LE hilt, blades, and O-rings i put in it.  My wife's staff is too short for me because i've trained with polearms significantly taller than myself since i was 3, and it's not LE.

However, the Guardian will always be special to me as well because it's my first US raffle prize, and the coolest thing i've ever won, and the only thing i've ever won in a raffle style drawing.

That Crimson Mantis looks surpringly nice, not usually a fan of the Crimson or Azure sabers.

This thread makes me feel like I need my collection to grow.

Well, since July 2013 my collection has grown a bit. For a start, I now have...

(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q81/jamescasey_photos/Ultrasabers/Z%20Collection/DSC04521.jpg)

...eight MLS units with quick disconnects, all of which help with the Hilt/Colour reference thread, of course.

But I'm also up to...

(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q81/jamescasey_photos/Ultrasabers/Z%20Collection/DSC04554.jpg)

...eighteen hilts. The collection's been growing and contracting a lot, but as my bank account is going through an empty spell right now, it'll probably be a few months before there's any significant changes to it.

Top row: Aeon v2 LE - Bellicose - Shock LE - Manticore - Prophecy CE - Crimson Reaper - Dark Initiate v3 - Aeon v3 LE - Liberator
Bottom row: Guardian - Standard Issue - Consular - Dark Sentinel - Dark Catalyst - Mantis CE - Catalyst - Curved Azure Reaper - Menace SE

I think I remember u saying u have all 14 LED colours now? How's THAT photo coming along?  :)

Regrettably, I'm down to 13. My Prophecy started with a violet LED, which I re-soldered to get Bane's Heart (probably). It's since gone to plain blue, possibly as a result of the lousy wiring job I did not it, and I've not been able to fix it. I have a BH LED on my wishlist next time I place an order, but shipping's just too pricy to buy it on it's own :-\

But yes, all 14 colours... That will be a sight.

Sorry to hear that James....... I've been soldering Quick Disconnects into many of my sabers, and by coincidence the 1 i messed up was VA also, although I've just (carefully) fixed that one..... I've just recently ordered a couple more grab bag sabers with my last missing LED colours, so I may just catch up to you.....  :)

Very beautiful hilts/colors !! I'll be ordering new batteries and chargers soon for my Obsidian sabers, then I'll post mine up.  Also alot of these pics give a good size reference for hilt comparisons. Definitely helps me decide on my next purchase. Thank you all !

Hi guys, here's my collection! At this point I don't intend to buy any more, but we'll see how that works out...

awww,, maaan, yeah so sorry James.. sad times.. only 13 sabers to play with.. I'm trying my best to sound sincere.. I'm just too darn jealous! hehe..

That is actually a real bummer though that one isn't working (<this actually IS sincere)

Hoping to get my third soon.. not sure what yet though.. it's a toss up between:

Prophecy in arctic blue (espesh with the new film coming up, this would fire cylinders in my brain for star wars even more.. to hold a near replica of Luke's first saber would be awesome!)
Standard Issue in Adegan Silver (it's for me to customize, I've been fantasizing about building a vision of a saber I've had since I was about 14.. this saber is as close as it gets for an easyish custom..)

I'd order a grab-bag, but the postage is higher on these (I suppose to cover postage of a bigger "bag") and so, even with ordering just the hilt only, for the same price I may aswell get a saber WITH a blade..

sorry for the essay! nice to put my thoughts to paper/screen.

All the best! MTFBWY

Everyone should own a Prophecy, but I really liked my Standard Issue in silver as well. Hard to say for definite which you should go for... Flip a coin, maybe?

Post by: dasweallycool on May 07, 2015, 01:01:32 PM
hmm.. $234 and BOTH could be mine.. just need to save the funds.. it's around £150.. I only have about £50 to play with currently.. best get saving!!

Nice. Hardly see any Hot Pink :P

Yeah it seems to be fairly unpopular for some reason, but it's probably my favourite colour that I own! Maybe people find it too girly  ;D

Hot Pink and Bane's Heart look good on nearly all hilts, I find - some colours like blue and green just don't work for me on the silver LE hilts, for example, but pink crosses all barriers. I might hesitate to put it on one of the azure hilts, though...
