Title: You all are a bad (good?) influence
Post by: imprimis5 on December 01, 2019, 01:59:45 PM
A month ago, I had exactly zero lightsabers. Today, I have two.

And I just placed an order for another. After seeing all those gorgeous photos of the Spectre, I had to have my own. I have a feeling that a trend has begun.

Welcome to the SF family! I too said that I would only own one, then only own two, 5, and now I have 17.

Yup, it's addicting.  I bought my wife a pair of Ahsoka Tano Rebels era sabers from another vendor for Christmas last year.  After 12 months we now have 21 sabers in the house (19 are Ultra Sabers).  The saber list in my signature does not reflect the latest acquisitions.  I'll probably get one more for the wife before the year is up, and I'm pretty sure the long skinny box she ran upstairs last week was from US and will eventually end up under the tree with my name on it  ;D .

I bought my first saber as a grab bag ad on facebook and was happy for a while, until I saw they had released the Spectre. I watched it for a year, contemplating if I should get it or not. Then, I decided to dive in hard with the raffle to see if I can win anything. I honestly thought with my shellty luck I wouldn’t win anything, so I bought a mystery box just to soften the blow, but I ended up winning a grab bag that I honestly love so much more than the mystery box I bought. So, in short I 100% understand you, I went from one saber to 4 in a month, and I am itching at the bit to get another lol

Yup. I still wouldn't mind a few more sabers myself actually :P Even though I said the Crimson Savior would be my last for awhile

I went from one saber to 10 in a month, and now I'm down to what you see in my signature.  Note that two more are destined to leave my grasp soon, because this hobby/addiction is too much fun NOT to share.

Points for paying it forward, Cy

Thanks, but it's true-- sharing increases the enjoyment.  I'm giving them to friends, so that I can not only share in their joy at the occasion of the gifting, but I will also be able to use the sabers together with the friends.  Maybe someday I will get to the point where I am giving them to random strangers at a con, or donating them to organizations like Make-A-Wish, like some others here do.  I think that is a REALLY cool thing to be able to do.

Agreed. My goal is to build my own and donate them to hospitals and charity.

I'm getting closer to a true "custom" saber myself.   Well, built from individual components, anyway.   :-)

Meanwhile I keep tinkering ... and like Cyclops I tend to give them away or sell them at a discount to others.   My "core" collection seems to stay at around 4-5 sabers.   But I have purchased many, many more....   :-)

Gahhhh i jumped straight in to owning 3 sabers, one after the other, about two days apart from each other. Consume you, it will. ;)

Wow, I only have 12 so far. But the wish list is long. Maybe for the second winter raffle...

Aw thanks :D I think you’re lovely for your giving-ness, and actually really respect the idea of paying the fun forward. I’m going to have to buy friends and family some mystery boxes this holiday. ;)

I have both received and given away sabers. It's a great feeling.  The one I received is very special to me (one of my favorites)because it was a gift. Never giving it up. The ones I've given to the Children's hospital and my good friends has brought me great joy. Each one was received as if it was the ultimate gift...and I guess it was. They are all HUGE STAR WARS fans,  and had always wanted a saber, but never owned one, or like most of us, only had a paper towel roll to try and fill the void. It's even better than the feeling of opening a mystery box or a raffle Grand Prize. I highly recommend doing it (if possible) at least one time. Even a basic saber with sound (must have sound) goes over big.
