Title: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Malik Thanewulf on February 12, 2019, 10:44:27 PM Hey forum, I'm crazy excited about the newest addition to the collection. It's an Archon v3.1. And it's loaded. I got it from someone looking to thin out his collection (really wanted to buy another saber). I saved quite a bit ( priced it out ) and he got much needed $$$. So that's two very happy saber owners. Should be here in a week or so.
Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Infinit01 on February 12, 2019, 04:07:46 PM Congrats, Malik. I look forward to seeing your Archon.
Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: hazard502 on February 12, 2019, 11:56:20 PM Way to go! That's pretty dang exciting right there. The second hand market is an excellent place to move a hilt out of or, IN TO ones collection! Must share pics :D
Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Malik Thanewulf on February 13, 2019, 01:58:23 AM Thanks guys. I absolutely will post pics when I get it.

Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Darth Cruelty on February 15, 2019, 05:01:30 AM I would love to see pics also, or maybe even a video showing good details and sound, if there is sound. Congrats on ur new saber!
Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Malik Thanewulf on February 15, 2019, 11:14:57 AM Thanks and it does indeed have sound. I'm also thinking about taking the advice of another forum member ( shout out to Prowl 1701). He suggested that I pick up an Archon v2.1 emitter. I can swap out emmitters when I duel with it. I get two tri-cree sabers for the price of one. Thinking about using the rewards points for the second emmitter.
Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: DarthBoneTD on February 15, 2019, 07:31:15 PM Dang, just got my shipping notification. Saber will be here Monday.
Now if that's not the fastest turnaround in the galaxy I don't know what is. Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!!

Post by: Darth Cruelty on February 16, 2019, 04:15:42 AM Dang, just got my shipping notification. Saber will be here Monday. Super stoked to see pics! Ultrasabers is cranking these out like no problem man. Both my orders were fabricated, shipped and arrived in 3 days. It's amazing their efficiency and dedication to their customers. Looking forward to the pic's though man.Now if that's not the fastest turnaround in the galaxy I don't know what is. Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Zren Tobas on February 16, 2019, 10:30:34 PM My Crimson Savior got to me in a week so yeah :P Fastest shipment ever I think and even when I had to send it back in for a small fix didn't take no more than a week. Curious to see how fast a next saber would get here if I can get another one :P
Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Darth Cruelty on February 17, 2019, 12:27:54 AM Do it and find out, lol, cant ever have too many sabers, hahaha. I bet you itll be WITHIN 5 business days. ;D
Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Malik Thanewulf on February 17, 2019, 03:03:45 AM My package has arrived!!! And.....is locked in the FREAKING mailbox! The key won't turn the lock, so it looks like I'm going to have to wait until Monday to get my saber. I am NOT happy forum.

Can you try a shot of WD40 or something similar if the tumbler won't turn? Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Zren Tobas on February 17, 2019, 03:38:51 AM I'm surprised you have a Butcher but not a Savior :P You should get one, really is a nice saber =]
Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Malik Thanewulf on February 17, 2019, 06:15:00 AM The Savior is on my list of must haves. I have the Azure Butcher and thought about getting a Savior (Azure) to go with it. But, I find myself liking both the Crimson and Gold Saviors. I have not decided between the two as of yet. And, I am weighing the tri-cree option for both. Want to figure it out before the next raffle.

Can't wait to see it! Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Malik Thanewulf on February 20, 2019, 09:02:01 PM I have my new Archon v3.1 in hand...it's awesome....except for one small flaw. TH FREAKING SOUND DOESN'T WORK!!! It comes on.."OBSIDIAN "......then nothing. NO HUM, NO WOOSH, NO CLASH......NOTHING! I am so frustrated. I emailed the guy I got it from and he hasn't answered. I basically have a stunt saber. NOT WHAT I WANTED OR PAID FOR!!!
Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: Malik Thanewulf on February 20, 2019, 11:35:25 PM So Ive calmly and patiently spoken to our fellow saber enthusiast. The last time he held the saber was while practicing with it. he puts it on "mute " so he won't disturb the family. Yeah, that's right, it was muted. Anyway, there are some pretty cool sound fonts on it. Pictures will be forthcoming.
Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: hazard502 on February 21, 2019, 12:31:27 PM Good to hear the sound can be restored, *phew* :)
Title: Re: Got a steal of a deal!! Post by: you will try on March 02, 2019, 08:03:01 PM The Archon v3.1 is a beast of a saber. I found the pommel too uncomfortable on my tendons. I splurged on the Dorinian pommel. I have not regretted it.

Now it looks like a leaf of some damage to the paper/ foil on the inside. It doesn't affect the saber, but it can be an eyesore. They shipped the blade very loosely attached to the pommel. Now it's nestled in it's place. |
