Hi there everyone. I'm a complete noob to sabers and the forum, although not to the Star Wars universe. I can still remember queuing up around the block to see A New Hope when it first released over here in Scotland back in 1970-something.  I've just hit the guys up for a lucky dip so will keep you all posted when it arrives.

Welcome to the forum. Lightside or Darkside?

Many thanks, I have always leaned towards the dark side. They got all the coolest uniforms and toys :-)

A -1 for choosing the right side.

Definitely agree about the dark side getting the coolest toys

Welcome!

The light side has X-Wings, and they simply don't get any cooler than that ;)

Can't beat a good old tie fighter. That said the b-wing is very under rated. Can you tell I like quirky :)

Hello and welcome Geod72!

Always happy to find another european on the forum (though Switzerland is still rather far from Scotland)

Being more of a Grey balanced guy leaning towards the Dark for style and having the Light for purpose, I tend to not really take sides and give people the points they ask for/deserve...so here is a Dark point for you sir! ;D

Many thanks CruentoNox, the dark point is appreciated. Switzerland is quite the car journey from Scotland, but not half as far as the one to the States :-)

Its nice to be part of such a friendly forum :-)

I'm hoping I've added the pic of the new 'toy'. If my link hasn't worked I got the Sentinel with silver AV and cut outs. The blade is green and really shines. I'm gonna look to mod the hilt slightly by wrapping a portion of it with 'antique' leather to break up the silver somewhat.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Looking forward to seeing the modified version of your saber.

Post by: Geod72 on June 15, 2018, 03:25:45 PM
The leather arrived today, it is 5mm antique brown simply wrapped around the hilt and pulled through and cinched on itself. Basic but I think it helps just make the hilt look a little bit different.

I was stunned. I've never had anything from the States arrive so quickly before. Was thrilled it arrived so fast.
