So lets see them US blade plugs. I just ordered me a circle plug so =] Had some spending money so figured why not get the plug I wanted. I'll post a pic of mine when it arrives. Not that I don't mind the US logo one but meh

No as in a gallery for your regular plugs not the custom ones :P

I only have one.  It's a good thing I don't mind the US design, because that was my free random plug for spending $300 during the Summer raffle. :)

A "Circle" plug:

...and yes, that's a Dark Manticore emitter. ;D

Edit: I should also mention sedstiskyfaller who has done extensive and diligent work designing and making custom blade plugs - amongst many other very cool things - for some time.

I'd love to see some of those lit up. :)

I love that circle plug.  Next time I order, I'm getting at least one of those.  :)

And, of course, -1 for sharing.

I got the "US" plug for free with my last raffle order. While the illuminated US in the middle is cool, I opted to cover it with a foam disk and use it as the plug for the bottom half of my Initiate Saber Staff when I don't have both blades installed...

^^^Never even thought to put foam on mine :P Cool idea. And ca't believe I typoed this x.x Must've been tired or something. Can't wait to get my circle plug though too. Does look mean with that Dark Manticore emitter =]

Here goes...

Seeing all of these blade plugs makes me want to order more.  :D


Neat idea there with the foam.  :)

Wow  Fanaticus!

I really like your Consular with that.

It appears that there's a "new and improved" circle plug too!   :o

-1 for sharing.

Ok, I particularly hate you, because your LE is way more gold than any of my LEs ever came out.
I am loving these new Circle plugs even more than the first issue ones.

Those new circle plugs look sweet.

I really want one of those new circle plugs too.  I love how it looks like some kind of Sci-Fi workings for the blade emitter.


Yeah, that Aeon is really beautiful.  My Initiate LE V4 isn't that gold either.  It must have been from a particularly gold batch.  Looks wise, it's my favorite hilt that I own and I didn't even pick it out because it was a grab bag.

It almost looks like it was Photoshopped.  It's just absolutely pristine, like a work of art.  If it was me, I don't think I'd want to use it out of fear of messing up the finish.

For being basic, off the shelf plugs, all the pictures here look great.  Thanks to everyone for sharing.  Does anyone know when the new circle plugs came out?  I got one about 3 months back, but it was the old style.

I love how Photoshop is a verb these days. ;)

Naw, the only thing I did photo editing wise was resize it.  As for using it, I mostly keep it on the stand like it is in that pic, though I do swing it around some.

Which circle plug you get may depend on what's in stock when they fill your order.

Nope, no Photoshop over here...
Photos are straight from the camera, that shadows, glows, are created by the ambient light source, and I use indirect flash.

See here the blade plugs, without the lightsabers ignited:

Thanks for the new pics.  I like the new circle plug even better after seeing it deactivated.

Yeah makes me want more circle only plugs :P Never knew the tip top part looked like that. Kinda Graflex looking in a way but more modernized

Blade plug came in but it seems I got the old circle design without the prong looking thing in the middle. Its still cool though =]

Lit

Unlit. Older design it seems like but I like it =]

It looks terrific, especially the way the pattern reflects on the Bellicose emitter.

Its odd I didn't get the above new design version though. Maybe its a mix of them sometimes or something

That's what I'm thinking.  They probably have boxes of the things and someone probably just grabs one in the style you ordered and sends it along.

I think the circle ones look great in either style.  Visually, they're the most interesting ones US sells.  When I order some, that's the style I'm going for.  It's not that I don't like the others, I just like those better.  :)

When I order another circle one, I really hope I get the new style.  It's awesome. :)

I wonder if there's a new "X" one?

I believe I've ordered an X Plug in one of my last orders that will arrive tomorrow (hopefully) so I'll show it here to compare them...

Here they are...

The US X Blade Plug... and the US Circle Blade Plug that I received this time...
snif, snif, I like the "other" Circle Blade Plug, way better looking...

Ahh well Fanaticus,

Maybe next time.  It seems to be random.

-1 for sharing.

Those X plugs are cool. :)

And the "X" one that I've shown, it is a new one or not?

-1 for sharing.  :)

I'm debating whether or not I want to put together an order during the 10% sale.  If I do, I'll order a circle plug.  :)

It appears to be the same as mine as well.

Yeah that's how mine came too. Can't go wrong with the circle plug though. Next ones will be the x ans standard plugs
