Title: blades are different than I remember Post by: iraia on May 21, 2017, 09:53:13 PM I bought my first lightsaber for Halloween of 2016 and got the ultraedge mid grade blade. I just received my second lightsaber yesterday with the same blade but it's not the same blade?? As in it feels, looks, and possibly even lights up differently. It's been a long time since I've been up to date on the latest US stuff, so was there a change in manufacturing that I don't know about?

Can you provide comparison photos, and possibly order details for both orders? There are 4 types of blades. None to my knowledge have changed Title: Re: blades are different than I remember Post by: Corwyn VonBeck on May 22, 2017, 03:45:52 PM I know they changed the tips... moved to a screw-on kind. Thats the only change I am aware of though.

Compare the bottoms of your 2 blades side by side and see if one is thicker. That would explain the feel and even a slight dimmer appearance of the thicker blade. Title: Re: blades are different than I remember Post by: iraia on May 23, 2017, 02:23:04 AM I think what happened is that I got a heavy grade instead of mid. That seems to be it. Thanks for your input guys. :)

At lease you got one show saber and one heavy dueling saber to mess around with though =]
