Saber Forum

Anyone here have any suggestions for the staff at Ultra Sabers? Post here!! ;D
I would like to see more color options like yellow, pink, indigo and maybe another shade of green like a darker green, also maybe a commission section where you could submit a hilt design with all the specs they would need and maybe they could build it for you, just an idea might be a long shot an its just a opinion worth sharing.

EDIT BY MANROON: Thought it would be a good idea to pin this, was surprised it hadn't been already lol. Anyways, it should also be noted that suggestions posted here have no guarantee of actually happening. It's just a thread for people to politely post what they would like to see from US. No promises the guys will always have time to read this, but if they do have the time and see the things here, it's possible they might decide to follow up on some of them. Things posted in this thread in the past have come true! Heck, the OP here suggested Yellow, Pink, and Indigo for colors. Anyone care to search up SY, BH, or DVA? lol That said, post away!

New EDIT BY Big Boss: Though I agree with Manroon's older post in that this is merely a fun suggestion thread not an official one since many suggested ideas may or may not happen. All current wishlist threads have now been merged. This is going to be pinned since too many what do we want/ wish list threads have come up in the past and posts tend to just repeat themselves in the end.

Well, I will second the motion for a Yellow Saber!

Also, the custom hilt thing would be sweet. However, I think I remember reading on the site somewhere that they used to offer that service and dropped it for one reason or another. I might suggest in place of said service... an annual contest of some sort, or even just a one shot contest of some sort, where the contestents submit various hilt designs. The winning design could then be adapted into, say for sake of cost, a PVC hilt (or metal if that seemed the better decision to US staff) to be run with a production life of US choice. I'd also recommend naming the winning hilt after the submitting member, for a little bit of fame with the fun in there. :)

Other than that, I can only say it would be WAY cool to see a 'basket' style hilt in the future. Of course I can imagine that would be extremely difficult and or expensive to produce in a fashion that would hold up to a duel... :(

I think, that instead of having black anodzing on limited editions and v2's, I think that they should have a silver or anodized finish buying options for all sabers for those who like a hilt and not have to go through the decision of light side hilt or dark side and end up with a second best because of color. And add like a fee that's appropriate for the process. What do you guys think?

I third the Sentinel Yellow color option!

I would also like to see options to add either a Covertech or D-Ring belt clip to all sabers that don't already come with a covertech.

so far, these are all excellent suggestions. i see that there is a anakin stunt available. how about a darth vader , darth maul , luke and a dooku stunt also available for those of us on a tighter budget?

This my friend is a VERY good idea i conncur with that

I too concur, and second Raze's suggestion for D-Ring Options! I think the D-Ring would be an easy option, the guy that put mine on for me said the job wasn't worth the $5 lunch I bought him for it. XD

I'm in for the D-ring, hilt design contest, and yellow option.  It all sounds awesome.

Definitely agree with the covertec option and I think Ultrasabers should sell the actual covertec clips instead of having to find one somewhere else

I'd like to see the covertec clips available as well, but I'm not opposed to getting them elsewhere. However, things I would like to see:

Saberpole: Just a long staff with the connector for a saber on the end. It could be adorned or shaped however they want to to make it more interesting, but just a long pole for a lightsaber polearm.

Short Blade: For the lightknife I mentioned in a previous post. I know it could be done pretty easily at home(Or at least I think it could) but I only have a table saw and I've seen what it does to wood. Pretty sure a plastic blade wouldn't survive the encounter.

Custom Sound Options: Or at least custom to Ultrasabers. But something in addition to the standard Jedi/Sith they have now, just for varieties sake. Maybe even something totally unique to signify a lightsaber as an Ultrasaber just by the sound alone.

And a $500 gift card for me so I can afford a few more sabers(kidding, kidding ;D)

This is just an easy suggestion for the forums. You should make a link back to ultrasabers.com somewhere on the banner. Maybe since there's already a "home" button you should just have the logo link back to the website.

Something else I thought of: I know we just got the Anakin Stunt, so this isn't likely to happen anytime soon, but... a personal thing I noticed (my very first LED saber was a stock MR Anakin) is that that saber compared to something like a Standard Issue or Prophecy, has a much thicker hilt. It's a trait all the FX sabers seem to share from what I've seen. Personally, I love the sleeker, thinner US hilts. They're just so much more elegant, less cumbersome, and easier to wield in combat! :) It would REALLY be cool to see a graflex style hilt from US. Something original, but with that style of emitter. The slanted emitters currently offered are awesome, but lack the swoop effect of the graflex. Just one guys obsession with 'the' lightsaber coming through again. lol

US needs a like button  ;D

I vote for Sentinel Yellow as a color option.

The rest doesn't really bother me so much i actually like adding my own stuff to sabers. It would however be nice if Ultrasabers would come up with a very detaild movie style saber like saberforge or parksabers does. They add huge amounts of details to a saber and it would be awesome if Ultrasabers did that as a kind of a Ultra-clan-saber.

But,
I still vote for Sentinel Yellow as a color option.

VERY good idea I agree an adonized version of all blades would be sick nasty (a good sick nasty)!

Anodizing isn't just an option, like LED color or blade type, it's a whole different process.  The preparation and anodize bath costs hundreds, so the only way to do it cost effectively is to anodize many hilts at once.  Putting the hilts back in the lathe to cut rings and such further adds to the cost.  At that point, anodizing isn't an "option" anymore, it really does make a different saber, which is why those become special edition sabers.

Ah. I see. Well better to ask and learn than be silent and  gain nothing.

What does anyone think about engravings or is that to far? I think that would be beast for an extra cost to have something engraved on the hilt anyone agree, course this could be done as DIY but i would screw it up bad ;D

I'm game for engravings.  Aurebresh decals would be cool, too.

I say a lightsaber version of the Staff of Parthalon from Dragon Age 2 would be AWESOME  ;D

An engraving service would be (rare moment of acceptance of prequels) wizard! Probably not cheap, but SO worth extra money to have something put on there.

Engraving would be pretty cool.

I was just looking around the old forums and saw some brass hilts, and as a result I really want a brass hilt. So I would LOVE to have US produce a brass hilt again.

I've GOT a sentinal yellow, and it's awesome- I just need to upload the pics!
I would love to see that deep, rich orange that my wraith sabers were made with offered as a pick-able option.
I also love the gold anodizing on the shock LE, and would love to see other sabers with it.

Maybe blades that got thinner torwards the tip would be cool to i think what do ya'll think?

Not sure about the tapered blade.  It'd either be so infinitesimal that you wouldn't be able to see it, or your blades would be shorter and sharp.  Plus, Ultra doesn't make the blades, so we can't do much about that.

I think a custom coupler would be very nice too, just think if you could make a battle staff out of a prophecy and a  Liberator, Etc, etc? What ya'll think?

Has anyone looked into anodized titanium?  It may be a bit difficult to work with and perhaps expensive, but it would create a plethora of coloring options for LE sabers.
Here's a pic...

(http://www.fwi-online.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/AnodizedTitanium006.jpg)

I suggest a smaller lightsaber with sound. A saber around (9 to 8 inches in length). For kids who would like the sound, also for individuals who would like to have a Lightsaber shoto. For example ahsoka's new yellow shoto saber.

. . . And I also would like to see a yellow added to the color options. Thanks

I think they should produce a Catalyst with RGB i would totally buy one! ;D

RGB Catalyst... I want one.

Anyone have thoughts on illuminated power buttons?

how about a blade made to work in the force fx removlabe blade 2010+ sabers? That way you can plug it in and duel and still have the old blade. You can duel with the ultrasaber blade and show off the hasbro blade. Also you save money on having it converted.

Illuminated buttons are alright. I could go for a saber with one. :)

As for the blade for the newer Hasbros... Well, I'm no expert mind you, but 1) I think it's generally considered by most that an UltraEdge Blade looks better than the Hasbro, and 2) I may very well be wrong, as I haven't seen one of these newer Hasbros in person yet, but I think conversion is still necessary to get a sturdy and stable enough blade to fight with.

I would like to see a curved metal hilt, that would be awesome! ;D

well the hasbro blades have a module on the bottom of them with like 9 pins that plug into 9 ports in the hilt. It goes in like 3 inches i think and is either secured  with a screw in pin in the anakin ROTF and in the others the emitter top screws on and uses pressure to hold it in place. Both ways make it very secure.

I think Ultra should bring the Rattlesnake back for a limited time, I so want one!!

I second the nomination for an RGB catalyst, and also the darker orange "Pyrestone" color.  I also would like to see more windowed sabers.  Aurebesh engraving or decals and lighted switches would be great as well. 

What I want to see most, however, is another saber with claws.  Something like Starkiller's Sith Stalker saber maybe. The War Glaive is just a little too massive for my style, awesome looking though!

Suggestions:

1) List the hilt lengths, along with the total length with blade installed.

2) Add the other blade lengths to the drop-down ordering options.

3)  Assaj Ventress-inspired sabers?

4) Non-stunt, costume-ready saber hilts, with option for covertec wheel or D-ring.  Also offer Belt-clips (for D-ring sabers) or Covertec clips as accessories.

I could so go for a curved metal Ultrasaber. A shroud would be a cool option aswell. It would be a simple way to further personalize your saber. And that contest that was mentioned a few pages back sounded pretty interesting.

Love the idea of shrouds. Having those as a sort of optional or seperate-sale item for certain sabers, much like the video for the war glaive mentioned eventual seperate sale claws to change out different styles, would be sweet.

(Woot for contest idea!)

Yeah shrouds would be boss, I also think listing hilt length would be nice too. Man I just seen pics of a overlord, wish it wasnt retired  :'(

I like the idea of variance in the hilts, even the idea of designing your own.
Thought i'd raise the point that not all of the sabers from the movies are there, however. We could add:

Mace Windu
Obi Wan Kenobi
Yoda
Sidious

to the hilts you are able to buy.

Well, to sort of explain that...

The movie hilts offered are Ultra's conversions of the MR and Hasbro movie hilts. I know he's sold Yoda in the past, and I think there may have been an Obi offered at one time, but I don't recall for certain. Sidious was never made as an FX (Funny tangent, he didn't even get his own saber in the movie. Watch the fight scene, he duels with Anakin's hilt. lol), and I understand Mace Windu is an exceedingly difficult hilt to convert.

I'm sure though that whenever Ultra has the opportunity to pick up some Yoda FX's, we'll see Yoda Ultra FX's offered again. Though of course, Ultra himself would know far better than I of these things. :) And he never disappoints, so keep your eyes open. Those hilts might just show up tomorrow for all anyone might guess!

Just because they're not listed for sale, doesnt mean Ultra and Deep can't convert them if you find one off ebay or craigslist, the exception that I know of being Mace Windu's. They can even convert the Obi Wan TPM, which amazes me because I've never even seen one as rare as they are.

An hilt that actually cost 49$.. with sound option.. so you could get an saber with sound for 199$ :/ The cheapest blade actually cost 299$ with sound.. :(

here's a thought. You know how they have black anodized versions of hilts with silver rings cut into them, well what if you did the black anodizing, then cut the hilt back to the original silver, but kept the rings black?

I think a nickel plated version of the War Glavie, the Liberator and the initiate would be cool. Maybe even a shock ;D I also think ultra should make the Light Tonfa again and maybe even a metal version, though I would imagine machining cost would be rather high, if they make those again Im buying four, one in guardian blue, one in green, and two in red!!

Ur Lightsabers are somehow nonamed.. Of course the product quality stands for "Ultrasaber" but why don't you stamp a logo on them? :)
The logo doesn't need to be big.. but it would look quite awesome.. and every1 who has a Saber of yours in his hand, without buying one.. or knowing you.. would think "Well Ultrasaber then"
It would be somehow of advertising.
It could be on the top of the Hilt, where you put the Saber in. :)

Just an idea

(wince)  I wouldn't really want a logo stamped into my sabers.  It just seems too impersonal and mass-produced, you know?

I conncur takes the MY SABER feel away would look to mass produced

Right you are.. but stamped on a spot it can, where the saber inside goes.
Showing you where, a sketch made I.
(http://img858.imageshack.us/img858/4519/logosaber.png)

I'm flattered that you like us so much that you want our brand on your personal weapon.  That means alot to me.  However, I have spoken to many fans over the years and the general consensus is that people do not want trademarks or brand names on their sabers.  Our designs are pretty recognizable as it is.  Anyone familiar enough with Ultra Sabers to recognize our logo is certainly going to recognize a Liberator, Shock, Bane, War Glaive, etc.

Maybe he's on to something though... have you ever thought of producing Ultrasabers bumper stickers? Or T-shirts? I'd love a t-shirt!

how about Metal tonfas?
i would buy 2 metal Light tonfas

T-Shirts would be sweet, but I think something more... saber-ey would be most awesome. Say, some gloves with the Ultrasabers Logo on the back?

NEED glove with the inside of the Hand out of Leather, to give the hilt more grip, instead of cusomizing your saber with leather..
the leather on the cusomized Weapon don't look awesome always.. sometimes it looks awful :/

Yes!! T shirts FTW, Ultra if you make shirts make them in big boy sizes like xxxl xxxxl id but onslaught of them!!

what about putting the logo on the bottom of the pommel? either it be a stamp or milled into the pommel , i think the milled work would look pretty cool.

We've already made T-Shirts, 2 different runs, in fact:

(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6586/ultratshirt.jpg)

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/7853/ultratshirt2zs.jpg)

We need to get more made with our new logo, though.

We're working on some window clingies of our logo right now.

As for stamping or engraving our brand on other people's sabers, I'm sorry to say, that's not going to happen.

And I for one totally support that decision, Ultra. :) And... window clings? YESSSSS! ! ! I wonder if my girlfriend would notice if I stuck one on her car... *starts diabolical plans to cover the world in Ultra-stickers* lol

Pity, I could really get behind the engraved logo.

like already mentioned..
Gloves with finger protection and the Ultrasabers logo..
"On the palm maybe leather, to get more grip on the saber!" :P huh rhyme??!!
In black and brown.. :O for either Jedi or Sith!

Gloves would be really cool, I need a good pair of dueling gloves....

Wait... wait. I got an idea. Not just dueling gloves with the logo, but ARMORED dueling gloves with the logo! lol Probably not very difficult. Buy some gloves, buy some plates for the back of the hand similar to those for the stormie, throw one of the US logo window cling decals Ultra mentioned on the armor, velcro or strap the plates to the glove, and instant US saber dueling gloves with logo AND some hand protection. Hmm... I may do that myself.... lol

already mentioned by me :P

LOL I totally missed that.... Captain Oblivious, awaaaay! XD

I want to see a staff usable as both a staff and as two individual blades, without worrying about the batteries flying out the end. So a different coupler that would connect the two, without needing to put the pommel on. Parksabers *cringe* does it with their double helix saber, and I think it would be something easy to do.

That would be sweet.  Especially for those of us who want a (relatively) quick disconnect for 'cutting' staffs mid battle.

I was having something like that put into a custom staff I was doing awhile back that never quite made it to the build phase. I don't remember what we actually came up with, but it was some kind of interlock with a hidden or covered switch you could tap mid-battle to unhook the pair. Something to get them apart fast, but only deliberately and not by accident. Sweet feature. I'd love to see it on some Ultrasabers! :) If only I could remember how we were going to do it on mine.... lol

As a new buyer I thought it would be nice to have hilt dimensions(diameter, length, weight).

It would also be nice to have some comparison photos of various hilts side by side. Along with a reference object that people are familiar with, maybe one of the Hasbro toys. This would help people figure out what hilts might be too big for what they want.

Finally I would also like to see all of the blade lengths(24", 32" and 36") as options on all sabers and as individual parts.

My suggestion is..
"real lasers in the sabers" <- another rhyme haha :D

I think there should be more exotic hilts like a curved hilt or something that would open the eyes of lightsaber collectors. But by far Ultra sabers is the best if you ask me. And hopefully they make yellow for a color!!!!! ???

I've seen yellow blades, so while it might not be available as an 'official' color, I think you might be able to pursuade them to do yellow when you order.

As for curved hilts, I remember they used to do them. I don't think they were popular enough to warrent keeping them around though.

They've done yellow by request before. I'm sure if you ask they'd be willing to do it again, and as I remember the purchaser said it only cost him an extra 5 bucks or so. Don't quote me on that though. lol

The light pike would be cool to see (long pole with a short blade on one end)
metal light tonfas :D

Yeah, I really want to see a lightpike/spear.

I'm thinking just a tapped pole with a coupler for the saber you requested(I'm assuming that MHS sabers use a universal coupler and other non-MHS sabers use a different one).

I wouldn't buy it because I'm not big on polearms, but I hear a lot of people clamoring for one.

 ultra sabers did make a spear and a grievous spear at one time wish they would make them again and offer them in metal
check my thread to see some pics of them http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=919.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=919.0) personally i just want them to make a metal curved saber that can hold sound that would be sweet :)

I think an Ultrasabers poster would be awesome IMHO. What do Ya'll think? ;D

id love if they brought back the charging port hilts and the "imperial knight hilt"

I agree with the idea of stunt versions of movie sabers long the same vein as the Stunt Anakin saber.  The glove idea was amazing too, I would definitely shell out some money for those.

I just hope they keep putting out new colors, the Sentinel Yellow sounds like something I would buy...

after the yellow, there wouldn't be a color left ^^
it would be quite diffycult to get a brown, a grey or thingy D:
but I'm really for an yellow :D

I agree with you as far as basic colors go.  However, they released Arctic Blue which is essentially just a different shade of blue, so I was thinking they might continue that trend...

true.. what about a dark green? :D

Or maybe indigo, dark red, gold, dark orange,  or maybe a darker green like mentioned before.

Somewhat of..
Exercise Dumbbels.. with weight on just one side.. so you can actually train your sword attacks and the handling :D

I agree, those colors would be awesome if Ultrasabers could somehow get them to work

With an RGB LED you can pretty much make any color thats how tvs make the colors they project on screen, however making sure they are bright and full would prove tricky.

I'm not sure darker is really what people want.

If I'm understanding this right, turning Guardian Blue into SRD or Arctic Blue is just a matter of taking a normal blue (0000FF) and then mixing in green (00FFFF) to get a nice SRD and for arctic, throw in some red to make it a bit more white with the other colors (maybe 99FFFF). Each one adds more light to make more colors.

If you made a darker color, you MIGHT be able to do it with something more like a 000055 for a darker blue, but it would be just that, a darker, dimmer blue. It would show up less and look much less impressive.

I could be wrong though. My specialty is in software, not hardware, so if I am wrong someone please correct me.

I agree with you ShadowKatt.  I think the result would end up being a dimmer version of the current colors.  I just think the idea of a dark red blade sounds awesome, if it could somehow be accomplished without becoming too dull.

That just gets to physics again. Darker colors are dimmer colors by nature, and personally, I do not think this necessarily detracts from the blade. I've got a Guardian Blue SI, and a Fire Orange CE Proph. I prefer the Fire Orange. It's always dimmer, but that color has a deeper, richer tone that makes the blade really pop in a unique way.

Pretty much, here, look at a rainbow. OK? This is simplified, but basically, there's your palette. We're not talking paint on a color wheel, we're talking light in a spectrum. Point to the spot on the rainbow where all the "dark" colors are displayed. You can't have a "bright" dark green anymore than you can have a nice brilliant black saber. So, think, HSB, but consider B to be a function of your battery life, not color choice.

This isn't a perfect analogy but hopefully it helps explain what you're up against.

I wonder...

Maybe someone can try this themselves, someone with a monocolor saber that does their own work. If you could color treat your blade to reflect more of your color, say a translucent blue finish on the blade, you might be able to make the illusion of a darker blue with just a deeper, more vibrant blue.

@Nero:  I believe you can achieve a nice blood red if you put a red color disk in a blazing red saber.

WOW!  That's a really good idea Kaiden!  I gotta try that.  I'll let you guys know how it turns out...

I'm having one of my rare light-side moments, so I can't take credit for that idea.  I saw it mentioned around here a while back.

i say we should make a lightwhip. mabey even dubble bladed lightwhip.

I just hit on kinda a cool idea... I doubt it would be a big seller, but it might make a cool promo thing or demonstrator for cons. US could make a PVC saber.... out of CLEAR PVC! Just for the heck of being all like 'yeah, you can see inside my hilt' Of course, with PVC being phased out of the line.... probably not gonna happen... but it's still a neat thought. You could let people pick it up at shows, and use it to show how durable the guts are. *spin* *stab* *slice* 'look, they're still in the same spot!'


Eh, I thought it was neat anyways. lol

A lightwhip would be amazing, if they could find a good way to do it.

I've seen lightwhips done(Novastars youtube channel, if I remember right). But it wasn't really that impressive, at least in how it moved. Actually....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOHsRtmxzms# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOHsRtmxzms#)

what if you had a white light led and in the opitics part was a little prism, that way you could have a rainbow blade, and it would look pretty cool

I kinda like the clear saber idea.  I know it'd be a selling point for me if I were at a show.

Clear? As in like an acrylic hilt or a clear blade? Because a clear blade wouldn't show up at all :/

Like an Acrylic hilt. ;D Be even cooler if you could make ALL the plastic in the saber clear. Clear guard on the activator, clear battery pack...

Lionel Trains did that in the 50's for their F3 Diesel sets, as a demonstrator. Well... they had a partial paint job, but still. Cool. Rare as all heck though. lol But on an Ultrasaber, it'd be even cooler! Almost like your hilt had a cloaking device.... ;D

Yeah, actually I like that idea, but then I always like acrylic things. I love seeing how things work. It'd only really be practical as a display saber though, if they could do it at all. Acrylic marrs really easily and I don't think it would stand up to dueling like PVC does.

a see through saber was made by some saber smiths last year it was pretty neat they made it to show off at a convention so people would know what is in a led lightsaber   :) i don't think ultra would ever make any though since it would probably be too costly and more likely to break.

That's way cool! Thanks for posting it. :)

As for the durability... *sigh* when will that guy from plexi-corp start USING the formula Scotty gave him in the 80s for Transparent Aluminum..... XD I'm so hopeless...

The prism blade would be sweet, The colors would change with the angle, sweet mother of the force that would rock.

Nice. I'd hit [someone with] that.

electro luminecent wires in a bendy blade

I think a metal hilt dagger would be cool to see I would like two or more of those guys!

I totally agree with you, especially with the sentinal yellow idea. In fact I was seconds away from making a post about a yellow lightsaber before I saw this post. Get a Bastila thing going on with a yellow lightsaber, dude! :)

Val

BRING BACK THE LIGHT TONFAS!!!!


Sorry for the outburst.

Its all good. I was about to have to do that myself, but it looks like you got it off my chest for me ;D

For the love of everything holy, make an Imperial Knight saber. PLEASE

I see Raze's avatar and I just keep thinking Light-Mop. Sorry, had to say that. XD

PLEASE WE ARE BEGGING *makes a human sacrifice* PLEASE ULTRAGOD HEAR OUR PLEA

LOL. I was actually thinking of making a mop attachment for my Dark Liberator.  XD

 :o DO IT!

And then build a toilet on your roof, because that was the best episode ever. XD

Yes another Scrubs fan! This is starting to get freaky though.

I think one of those wrapping paper tubes with a mop head glued to it would work well for now. lol.

And as for the toilet on the roof, I had one but the cops made me take it down. Stupid neighbors complaining...

ROFLMAO! YEEE-HEH-HEH-ESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Oh man, that show is hilarious. I love it. I've missed way too many episodes though. lol You realize this means we may have to make your callsign Janitor now.... XD

I'm working on getting the whole series on dvd. I just got season 4 today actually. It's definitely my favorite show.

Since Janitor's the man, I'm down with that.

An Saber with Party button :P especially for RGB versions.. changing between all colors very quick haha

A light Battleaxe!!! For barbaric smash downs.

I would like a lightsaber hilt that doubles as a microphone.

Mix it with the party button :D hahaha

I like the yellow saber idea. I would love to have one...well I'd love to have an ultrasaber all together. *sigh* I need money. :'(

How about an option to change the button on the saber?  US uses a fair bit of TCSS parts, and from what I have seen, I would be willing to pay some extra for a LED button, or some sort of box-like button, a style seen on particularly famous blades owned by a father and son...

My suggestion is that Ultra needs MORE COW BELL!!!  ;D

I'm with Whisper. An av switch would look great on all sabers and a box switch would really complete the prophecy. Especially the LE Dark one.

how about the option for a matte finish on the black sabers? It shouldnt be THAT hard to do

Real suggestion this time I swear:  Do a L.E. version of the initiate, Aeon, Standard and Liberator in the anodized Gold Just like the Shock L.E.   This would answer the Dark Version of these sabers and appease the "Light Siders".   

Finding a way to lessen the cost for soundboards would definitely make a LOT of people happy!  :)

I agree!  I've been dying to get another saber with sound, and I would definitely get one from Ultra if they managed to develop a cheaper sound alternative - I really like the Shock as a matter of fact.

I should have added in there: "without sacrificing quality"

Think I read on another thread that they will do eco boards for 75. The ultraFX is about as cheap as they can go on the same thread ultra broke down the pricing for the FX sound.

Yeah, I read that thread. I was just sayin, if they COULD, it would be great!! I'm sure it will happen eventually; technology always gets cheaper down the road!  :)

They do have new Force FX sabers that are 25 buck coming out in august I believe and they use the same sound board maybe they will start using them

That would be cool, long as the quality remains!  8)

I would like to get a 44 inch blade that would be nuts

I dunno if this has been discussed before, but adding recharge ports as an option(I know the v2 wraith had one) would be great! I am constantly running out of batteries or taking my saber to show someone only to have it dim 2 mins after I start showing it cause its new battery time....help the economic man (or woman) save some $ on batteries :p and if you do....plz start with my bane I just ordered and let me know how much it will cost :D

IF you PM Ultra or Deep they can install a recharge port for you and tell you the cost to you

That would be sick on a War Glaive! Basically would be a Greatsaber. Playing the old Star Wars RPG, a buddy of mine had a Jedi Wookie character with a saber like that!

LOL Jedi Wookie,  ;D 8) I hope they make more claws to put on the war glaive

Come on, you gotta admit, a Jedi Wookie would be BEAST!! (no pun intended) Especially with a weapon like a Greatsaber!! ;D

I would like to request that US start producing some circular stickers or something to go on the pommel of their lightsabers. Something like a US logo, the year of production, and maybe the model name.

I'm proud of my ultrasabers and I'd like to have the company name on all the sabers I bought from them, especially since literally every lightsaber I use is either a stock ultrasaber, a custom ultrasaber, or a FX hilt with US parts.

Here, here! I second that! :D

There were actually Wookiee jedi. They were named Kirlocca, Lowbacca and Tyvokka, but then G.L. said there couldn't be anymore In the E.U.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Been awhile since I read the books! Now I remember, especially Lowbacca!

I am very much new here, and indeed a big Star Wars fan, but I thought passed my mind today.

You guys great stuff, but have you ever thought of stuff outside of lightsabers, like replica Blasters etc. Or even out of the series and into other things like the Portal gun from Portal and Portal 2 or other things.

I apologize for my N00bity here. But making stuff like that would be awesome. I'd pay handsomely for replicas of stuff like that too. XD

ultra did sell some custom blasters awhile back check my thread to see some pics http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=919.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=919.0) but as for making and selling other props i doubt it since they're called "ultrasabers" not ultraprops so it would have to be related to starwars in someway

Those Ultra blasters were pretty sweet.

Ultra has thrown around the idea of making some non SW weapons, like the Energy Sword from Halo, if he can find a way to do it cheaply so he doesn't have to charge a ridiculous price.

Another blaster line would be sweet, but my personal tastes in blasters have always been towards those seen in the movies, which as I understand would be most dangerous for them to produce, legal wise. :(

Now a Halo sword would be sweet! But if they go that route..... I gotta beg for a Covie Pistol! I LOVE those!

Nother suggestion: Got this idea from my drain plug. What about some horizontal windows in the emitters? :)

Im totally for an holocron replica :D

That's an awesome suggestion!!!

Thanks Warlock! Gulcasa, I second the Holocron Motion. I wantz one! XD Oh, and hows about some comlinks?

me third i would love a holocron  even if it doesn't light up i would still buy one so i could keep batteries and hex screws in it  :P

How About a Holocron UBS flash drive( Jedi and Sith versions)?? They are  suppose to hold Knowledge.   I don't know why It hasn't been thought of before(or I just can't find one).. they make everything else a flash drive.

Good idea! Wait.... wait..... I got something. It's not much, but it could be an idea-form. What about a tiny ultrasaber USB? THink about it! Who wouldn't want to keep their files on a miniature Bane, Shock, Prophecy, or War Glaive? Okay, maybe the Glaive wouldn't work so well, but simpler hilts would likely be easy enough, right? You could even put in a tiny LED to come on when you plug it in! lol

HECK YEAH! I could always use a new flash drive.

EUREKA I THINK HE HAS SOMETHING THERE!

USB holocron damn why didnt i think of that ;D

Yeah, right! It's genius! I like the ultrasaber USB idea too, but a Holocron would be so appropriate!

Yes... the Holocron USB would be appropriate, but... the Ultrasaber USB Bane would fill another often voiced request from the masses. Can you say:

LIGHT-KNIFE! ! ! ! ! ;D

I'm putting my lot in mostly with the holocron idea. I think it would be awesome. To my knowledge it hasn't been done yet, has it ?

But i think a light knife might be interesting too.

UBS holocrons have been made before but they are hard to come since they are often made in such a small number  :(  if ultra made a UBS holocron that would be sweet! i would buy one in  a heart beat

Yeah I just saw an example some one tried to make on Fx-saber http://www.saberforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=20043.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=20043.0) But that is really more of a USB hub(which would be really cool) I was thinking more of the just a flash drive on rails that slid out of the holocron. A  2 inch "blue" cube for Jedi and a 3 inch "red" pyramid for Sith should be plenty.  Make It out of light weight molded plastic and have it light up.    I found a photo template for a paper Jedi holocron (just print and piece)But It is 1:1 scale and I am not to sure how to scale it down to print.   

holocron USB!!! :D
when you plug it in, it will light up!!

I think the should add a sound option to the sabers that can fit eco boards like the prophecy, this would cut back on PMs to Ultra and I think be really cool and easy.

Don't know if someone's already suggested this or not, but I think would be nice if Ultrasabers sold DIY kits with all the parts you need. My next saber is probably gonna be a DIY Standard Issue, and I was thinking it would be nice if I didn't have to go elsewhere for some of the parts. Maybe this isn't cost effective enought to do, but it would be really nice!!  8)

Here are some responses to some of the feedback yall have posted:

Q: Low cost sound option as standard option?
A:  We would have to increase saber production dramatically to keep up with the sudden increase in demand and there would be many fans who would be upset that we offered a lower cost sound option after they purchased the more expensive one.  I will need to meditate more on this.

Q: Blasters,  holocrons, etc?
A:  We would prefer to dedicate all resources towards making the best lightsabers in the galaxy,  but I will look into this.

Q :  Tshirts and stickers?
A :  Working on it.

Sounds cool. I can't wait to see those T-Shirts!

Ultra is, as always, the man.

I'll go ahead and say this again. Imperial Knight hilt

i want ultra to make the Ephesian in metal that would be sweet! http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Greatsword2.jpg (http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/phophjoph15/Greatsword2.jpg)

Ultra is still the man.

@Big Boss:  I could do without that.  It looks like it would be rather expensive and... extravagant, compared to what Ultra usually does.

still would be awesome if they made some it wouldn't be an all time available saber more of a very limited saber that would be appreciated by a few who recognize it's uniqueness.

This is such a solid idea!

I know crystal chambers are tough, but I would love to see a 2-piece hilt that consited of one main piece that would be like a short hilt (initiate or prophecy length), with a 2nd piece (the emitter) that just locked onto the blade.  You could just use the same screw that holds the blades in to hold the emitter 'collar' on the blade about an inch above the main part of the hilt.  

Of course, the blade may have to be a little longer since it would have to fit in the main piece just like any other saber, then the collar/emitter would just be haning on the blade, but then the lit blade would be COMPLETELY exposed in a section of the hilt - giving a crystal chamber (or at least cool) effect.  Seems simple enough in my head - the short (main section) of the hilt just wouldn't leave much room for sound without making the overall (emitter to pommel) length pretty massive.

Like this, with any = being nothing but blade showing:

(_(__o((_(=(_/=================)

Heck, where the blade shows through might even act as a good choke point.  That 'step' above the switch is one of the main things I like about my prophecies.  Great for spinning!

Heck, I might just cut the angle of the emitter of my RGB Prophecy, cut the whole emitter section off my PVC prophecy (paint it black) and slide the the PVC emitter section onto the blade and tighten up the screw.  BAM!  Crystal-chambered RGB Prophecy!

I kind of feel like I actually have a good/practical idea here, but I've been wrong before.   :)  Cheaper than machining windows anyway, right?  Ultra?... Anyone?..... 

Lower your shipping prices. There is no reason it should cost $13.30 to send a saber tip to Atlanta. Stick that tiny thing in an envelope and put a stamp on it.

+1

I have to agree with this. I think that's the single minor complaint I have with US. Although if you E-mail them and ask nicely, they might be able to help.

well, the prayers have been answered. Apperently an email to ultra about small things like tips and you wont have to go though the ups shipping hassle! +1 to ultra!

Come on, guys, we use an automated shopping cart program on our website, not Protocol Droids.  The site is going to calculate shipping based on UPS live rates regardless of how small the item is.  The program is not an artificial intelligence and cannot make decisions like "Oh, I'll just put this part in an envelope".  For those kinds of decisions, you have to email one of us live human beings.  If you just contact us, we'll be happy to accomodate those special needs.

We have been offering personalized service like this since 2005.  I'm really surprised someone would complain about this and insinuate we were charging "crazy rates", and even more surprised that long time fans were agreeing with it.  :-\

I think the rates are pretty reasonable given the size, especially the length, of the packages. But, part of my business is arranging freight, and I know how crazy expensive it can be. Explaining to your customer that, yes, believe it or not, shipping on your FC 250, 14' long item is actually more than its retail cost, is not what I call fun.

I worked in a shipping department of an online business for a few years and I will probably be back there in a month when one of my co workers leaves. the prices are definitely not crazy expensive. the only way to lower costs for shipping is to use flat rate boxes, but it you fit a lightsaber blade in one of those you would get it in 3 pieces...

...WHAT?!.. Thats a lie!!! >ö<

In my defense, I did say to send you guys a nice e-mail, and that you might be willing to help. That counts for something right?  :-[

I for one Ultra think the shipping rates are very reasonable I live in Cincinnati OH and for ups ground for something a little over 120 was like 14 bucks, If a part cost 5 buck ups still has the same exspense getting that to me as well as a 350 dollar item same travel distance everytime. I dont want this thread to be a oh lets go complain about something I dont think is reasonable thread, its a thread to suggest product ideas. Not price changes on shipping or sabers or any of Ultra Sabers fine products, so thanks guys for understanding, and keep those ideas flowing. ;D

Well said, sir!!! I second that!!!

i know that many of you do this on your own but for those of us without the ability i.e. no artistic ability; maybe more options for customizations.  Not like big things but little things like maybe an option for a lighted switch, or a different switch like slider switch. maybe an option to tap extra holes in the emitter to allow more light out.  or maybe a short engraving...like i think having the Jedi Code (There is no emotion; there is peace.There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.There is no passion; there is serenity.There is no death; there is the Force.)
engraved along the emitter or down the side of a saber would be cool.

i don't know how difficult these would be.

The Jedi code... I want it on my saber.  Now.

Seriously, though, Kewlkev, if you send 'em an Email asking about a slightly customized saber with a different switch or engraving, I'm sure they'll work with you on getting a custom saber for you.

hmm, i never thought of that....i may just ask them if they can engrave a saber with The Jedi Code for me.

I was thinking about the whole covertec thing. The sabers, when they are attached, since they are round, they have the freedom of movement, right? Well, in my experience, they have somewhat of a movement range. With my saber, well, at least my D-Ring one, it swings a hits me sometimes when I am walking and such. Sure you can grab it, but sometimes you cant. I was thinking, instead of a wheel, what if you would form the covertec into like an oval shape, or somehow create the wheel so that the saber would be stationary. Not sure if the saber is all ready stationary with the wheel, again, not to much experience with it, but just thinking out loud I suppose.

And on the whole prop note, I just thought of something. Not sure if it has been brought up before, but what about offering other sorts of props. Not really anything ellaborate or anything like that, but something basic in terms of pouches or food capsules or things like that. Cant remember if I all ready read anything on that, but I think what would make costume making a bit easier for some people. Could even come with small compartments to hold allen wrenches and batteries. I myself carry a utility belt of tools everywhere I go in costume.

interesting......HEY how about a blaster that shoots sabers. I know its a weird idea. Just something that my friends came up with last weekend when we were dueling. They decided to start throwing there sabers around because they can't defend.

@foxray:  I already did that.  I made a rather large crossbow that shoots 4' spears, and then decided to put an ultrasaber in it.  Voila!  a bowcaster.

Kaiden: Tell me there's a youtube video of that.....

I saw that Ultra is starting to sell anti vandal illuminated switches, first of all I would like to say that this is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I would only suggest that you guys might make them available in more colors than just the blue option I saw, and make it an option that we could cycle through when were choosing the different options for our saber (color-tip pointed or no-ext....)

@Manroon:  Not yet.  I'm still working out the glitches.  such as it not flying straight up in the air.

Second that!!!! 8)

Awsome I need one.
I've seen a rather giant sling shot that shoots machetes on youtube. I'd hate to be hit with that thing.
check it out http://youtu.be/TSU1jQoGIqo (http://youtu.be/TSU1jQoGIqo)

How about more short, extra lightweight sabers for those of us with diminutive stature?

Love the new switches!

@Kaiden: Love to see the vid when you get one.
@Foxray: I once was told a story by a vet about a turkish soldier in Korea who killed enemy soldiers with a giant crossbow fashioned from Jeep and Bicycle parts. I believe the bolt it shot was a Jeep's rear axle. He speared a man to a concrete wall with one shot and it took something like 4 men an hour to get the body down. THAT, I would hate to be hit with.

Back to suggestions: How about some clamps/boxes that can be added onto a saber? I loves the boxes! :)

And dual wielders!!!

I would like to see the petit crouton as a sound option I would sure as hell drop whatever it would cost to get one!

Though it would raise the cost of install (of this I have no doubt) I agree with this, I would Love to see the Petit Crouton as a sound option for sabers.  Just a thought, the FX boards could be seen as "Basic Sound" (and price lowered slightly) and the Petit Crouton could be looked at as "Premium Sound" (with a price at something like $175 seems fair for this sound option).

The last thing we're going to do is offer a more expensive sound option.  That's going the wrong direction.

Well what if someone (me) asked you to do it and didnt mind paying the cost like a custom deal or what not

I would like to see a blade size between 24 inch and 32 inch....8 inches is a pretty big gap between lengths

This is a pretty good suggestion. A 28 in. blade would fill the gap nicely!  8)

I second the 28 in blade

I would tell you to hold off on that

Is this some possible insight on the poll that's going on? Hmmm.....

This post isnt a suggestion but a thank you to the US community, This thread has got almost 4000 views and over 200 post. This I think is great for the staff they can come here and read the post here and get great feedback straight from the people who buy the sabers. So I would like to thank everyone who has post in this thread, an keep on posting new ideas because in the end we will reap the benifits.
Thanks,
Ryuyee ;D

I second that. Btw I would pay extra for Illuminated switches installed if you guys are considering them. Could you imagine a Red, Green, and Blue led switch for the RGBs. That would be cool but then there's cost and probably lack of room in the hilt not to mention draining battery life quickly. still a cool idea imo.

I wonder, with the community we have here, if we couldn't have a "Design-a-saber" kind of thing. Let people submit saber designs and see if any of them are workable. Nothing too fancy, of course.

I've been thinking about the same thing. I'm gonna be getting an RGB Raven when they come out & that would be SWEET!!!  8)

This would be Amazing!!!  ;) I know there are many here with the power and intellect to design a truly MAGNIFICENT saber  :D

Since the Bane and the Raven are basically based off Darth Banes and Lord Starkiller's saber.

I was thinking maybe Ultra could start offering the TFU II sabers. I was just thinking that maybe there could be some kind of deal where if you buy two of them you get 50$ off.

That was MY suggestion, I don`t know if anyone else would agree with me.  :-[

A dremel rotary bit or a band saw would work better... a table saw would damage the blade tubing beyond salvage.

I think LE version of the War Glaive claws would be slick like gold color, just like the LE Shock! ;D

how about an initiate sized hilt that is MHS compatible, and more MHS parts, like emitters and pommels.  that way, you can get a saber then us less than artistic people can more easily customize them

I know this as been said before, but a aluminum version of the old  Dark Apprentice in the anodized black and standard finish?  Or are the to much of a pain in the but to make?

qui gon or rahm kota sabers ;D and if possible (i dont know how it would happen but i have hopes) a sort of darksaber color/hilt

Not that Ultra would do a bad job with a Qui-Gon were it ever to happen, but I really am getting a good vibe off the thought of a Rahm Kota Ultra Saber   :D.  I think that Ultra could do it So Very Right, when so many others have done it so very wrong  ;).

Hm, if not Rahm per say, how about a leather wrap feature? Not sure how happy US would be to that thought though, I know how busy there are without us trying to give them more to do, hah.

agreed! ;D thats what my MHS/sinktube based saber my friend made me was supposed to be, but my mom ordered a blue LED -_-. Id love to see Ultra do it!

I would definitely pay good money for Ultra to do some leather wrapping on a saber  ;D , however because of the variety of different shaped hilts and the different way's the leather would have to be wrapped for each individual saber, I doubt will see this option.  Would be Awesome Though!!!

I think these have already been mentioned. I just wanted to post that i too like these ideas.

I'd like to see (if possible) a way to quickly connect and disconnect sabers in a duel switching from a staff to duel wielding. that would be cool.
Standard, RGB, and staff hilt measurements (I know you guys have them for some sabers already)
D-rings & A-rings would be cool.
A clip for A&D-rings and covertec clips.
All blade options for standard hilts. For example: Selecting a 32 inch or 24 inch blade for a dominix.

I think a new catagory on the website like single bladed sabers, sabers with sound etc. etc the new catagory, RGB sabers.

What about wooden hilts like Tera Sinube's lightsaber?

The Qui-gon or Kota sabers would be AWESOME I would snatch them up in a second.  Here's a thought, maybe it was mentioned earlier since this thread is 16 pages long but how about Corran Horn's lightsaber?  The one made from a speeder bike handle.  That would be pretty cool.

I'd buy that. For sure. Horn ROCKS. Besides, it'd make my Scout friend soooooo mad at me. LOL

I would like to see a really cool UltraSabers stand! One that holds maybe three or four sabers & holds them vertically with the blade sticking up! I just think it would be great to have an UltraSabers stand to show off my UltraSabers!  ;D

Thats a damn good idea kush I would buy one in a heart beat. Plus it could Have Ultra Sabers Logo on it. ;D

Yes, precisely!! Just like TCSS has their own, US could have THEIR own!! Except better of course!!  ;D

I know that this is really late, because your post was on page 2, but what about Ultrasabers in aurebesh?

Have yellow blades been brought up before?

many times, swam785, many times.

You can actually order a yellow blade right now if you want to for $5 extra, or get an RGB saber and yellow is one of the color options.  It's just a custom color as of now.

Yellow will most likely come out this year as standard I cant wait to see these other colors Ultra mentioned!
I think making those anti vandal illuminated switches a standard option would be nice.  ;)

From what I've seen though, the yellow you get mixing the RGB red and green is a little different than the straight yellow you tend to get on request. The RGB yellow tends to come out a little more orange.

Just a little nitpicky, honestly, but I've been looking at a Dark Liberator, and I'm thinking yellow for it.

I agree - the RGB yellow is definitely golden and it looks like the requested yellow is more true yellow.

I think black raven claws would be cool, anyone agree?

@ ShadowKatt & Darkhorse: I don't know, my RGB Yellow is a nice and pure Yellow! Not golden or orangish at all. Maybe it's the batteries.  :-\

@ Ryuyee: Hell yeah! I'd love to be able to get some black claws for my Raven!! ;D

I remember reading on the forums that unfortunately Ultra does not plan on making black claws for The Raven. Probably because of cost and time. He said it in the New Saber:Raven topic. Here's the quote.

I guess you guys could paint the claws black. :-\

Idk how it would happen, but a double bladed lightsaber on a single hilt (Exar Kun Status!) would be awesome ;D

Yeah, I know. It was mostly my question he was answering. Oh well.  :(

I agree!
What about a quick disconnect for switches? What I mean is for the illuminating switches so if you decide to change the colour of your blade, you can switch the switch too.

Sorry if these suggestions have been made already, but in regards to the gloves I'd suggest going to a motorbike shop to find a pair of armored gloves, in regards to colours i think someone mentioned a deeper green which i agree with, a darker red would be pretty cool too and i was just reading in another section of discussion about how to stash your blade at conventions my idea for that is to try and come up with a spring loaded twist and lock option for the blade, hang your saber on one side and make a sheath the same colour as your robes on the other side, maybe.

I also think gold claws For the War Glaive would be very cool as well

I am not sure about the particulars with the whole quick disconnect option, but I have seen some ask about the whole 4 batteries being too much with certain sabers. So, what I was thinking, if you have a quick disconnect saber that you can switch out the LED, if there is no resistor, why not have a quick disconnect battery pack? Would that make things easier? Was thinking about that earlier so not sure if that would work or not.

That sounds solid

Has anyone thought of a cheaper limited soundboard? I think the sound gets annoying after awhile but would like activation and deactivation sounds still. Would there be a way to make a saber with just those sounds?

Me and a friend at work were talkin about different windowed emitters like other shape other than ovals and what not like stars or triangles.

More with MLH Quick Disconnect please  ;D

Sorry I meant MLS :-[

I think you actually mean MHS.

No, he means MLS.....Modular LED System

Regardless, all sabers are equipped with PMS Quick Disconnect.  When the girlfriend/wife/etc starts complaining or yelling, just head into the other room and swing the ol' saber around some.  Instantly better.   ;D

A goldy colored hilt would be epic, or chromed

Well, I would say you could have this one, but it is one of My Darling's  ;D, and I could never part with it, but since I am a Sith Lord, I am going to show you it, so that I may deny you  ;):

(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/3544/darksalvationsaber.jpg)

lol, i thought you were gonna say "disconnect her head from her body. "


after all, you are a sith.

Yer something like that would be epic

My suggestion: All sabers can be custom fitted with a sound board 8)

EDIT: As another service ultrasabers can provide  ;)

I personally feel that we should close this thread "Momentarily" in a moment of silence to HONOR Ultra's SHEER AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have no idea what I am talking about, go check out the Counselor Saber, and the Obsidian Soundboard  ;)  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

I would like to see a copper hilt like the elder but with a black or nickel shroud. Also would love to see a Darth Talon or a Darth Krayt saber!

I agree there should be curved (Dooku) style stunt sabers or at least a dooku saber.

I believe Ultra has mentioned that they are currently working on a curved hilt design. Keep your eyes peeled!  :o

I have an idea, wich I think will please all the customers.

An Ewok blanket in every order over $250.

Or a living Ewok, so that we can make the blanket ourselves AND test the sabers.

Hehehe, good one :)

I would like to see some Covertek belt-systems so i dont have to order from ebay.

(http://www.hydroponicsonline.com/store/img-hydroponics/star-wars-lightsaber-graflex-covertec-belt-clip-v2_270704968829.jpg)

Oh yeah, a very good idea.

I won't care if they are more expensive as long as they ship with my sabers. You can imagine how hard it is to make orders when Paypal reject your credit card (maybe to much sabers in one row) and refuse to reactive your order as long as you haven't give him the data he wants...

All I ask for is a Covertec Belt Clip for nearly $10 and I will be happy.

And who knows, maybe they would be made by US and be really neat !

The Covertek belt would be awesome!

Personally I've been debating buying a Prophecy but I really want a saber with sound.  The reason I go for the Prophecy is because of the angled emitter (BIG fan of that).  Any chance we could get a Saber w/ Sound that has an angled emitter in the next batch of new ideas?   ;D

When you say covertec belt system, do you mean just the one covertec?

Personally, I would love to see a belt system with many covertecs built into it, so that I may hang up to 8 sabers on it (a la sith stalker).

My advice to you is this: Get your Prophecy, you will LOVE that saber (I know, I have one, it's awesome). When the CSO division comes online, contact Ultra about sending it in for a sound upgrade. I know it's annoying to send a saber back in sometimes, but trust me it'd be worth it for sure. From what I understand, it should be able to run with either Econo or Obsidian. Either way you'd likely have to put a new pommel on it, but that's just one MHS selection away. (Might try a War Glaive pommel, that could look SICK)

Also, I'd LOVE to see US start selling both halves of the belt clip! Even if it wasn't covertec. ANYTHING would be great! I just don't like having to go out and buy the other piece myself, ya know?

Thank you Manroon.  I have been considering just that for a while!  Unfortunately my first priority is to get my Luke MRFX saber upgraded and outfitted with Obsidian and a dueling blade!  Then again maybe just getting the Prophecy and then adding the upgrade would be a good idea too...  Boy I am good at spending money.

What if you got the prophecy and sent it in with your Luke to be converted?  Save on shipping that way ;)

Yes I was actually gonna do that...  We clearly have spent too much time together, Nero.

Haha us thinking alike?  Nawwwww

Do they have a projected date for the curved hilts to come out?

Ya i agree with the covertec, the force fx 2010 anakin and obi wan removable covertect clips are slightly too small for the ones at ultrasabers.

idk if this has been said before but sabers that look like Luke's V2 and one like that of Corran Horn's ;D

Im gonna say it again, RGB catalyst!!

My suggestion is to stop coming out with awesome new sabers for awhile. You know, to give us brokie brokess a chance to catch up.

Just one more, the Manticore.   ooo that rhymed, and didn't even try(ied).

A Dark Arbiter if possible ;D

A big second on that!!  ;D

And when I get it, its the one going in for customization, I've got plans for that one

The battery compartment / saber body seems like a good place to keep the retention screw wrench so you don't lose it.  My suggestion is to provide a plastic pouch to place the wrench inside.  Then you can safely place the wrench inside the pommel without fear of anything shorting out or rattling around. 

Another idea is to tape the wrench to the flat side of the battery holder.

I know it's been said already, but its such a good its such a good idea i have to repeat it.

IMPERIAL KNIGHT SABER!!!!

i know ultra did one in the past, but a V2 would be totally epic!!! ;D

I agree imperial knight saber is awesome i would love to see a V2

My suggestion is a saber with a more organic feel to it

eg - Vong Coral http://www.comicscommunity.com/boards/janduursema/?frames=n%3Bread=16203&expand=1 (http://www.comicscommunity.com/boards/janduursema/?frames=n%3Bread=16203&expand=1)

I have no idea if this is even fesable to do mass production, but having ordered my first 2 sabers from you guys this morning and already feeling myself slipping into the depths of addiction, I know I would buy one! ;D

Holy crap an organic saber would be awesome!  Especially a Vong Coral looking thing.  I'm loving the NJO series right now so of course I would like that idea lol.

Here's a random thought... although with all the pages on this thread it's probably been said already.  How about a saber with some kind of grip to it?  Like an aluminum saber wrapped in some type of fake leather or rubbery grip.  The original TFU2 sabers spring to mind, not necessarily exactly like that but something along the same lines.

Deedzy & Nero those are some great ideas!  One saber I always wanted to see done was the Tenel Ka Lightsaber.  Rancor tooth and all would loot great I think.

I would like to see a some more electrical options in the "Build Your Own Lightsaber", such as a  Black  Illuminated Antivandal Switch (would look amazing on a Dark WarGlaive), And how about some simple  blinking LED drivers for stuff like the led in the anti vandal switch.

Grip options would be cool, though I think that's sort of taking away the buyer's ability to customize a little, I'd still love something with coral grips. And the Rancor tooth would just be epic. I ALWAYS wanted to see that saber. :)

Somethin alonf the lines of Ulic Qel-Droma/ Exar Kun if possible :)

I guess for blade color you'd have to go Green. lol ;D

I agree. Adding that sort of thing is part of the fun of having an Ultra Saber. I'd kind of like to see a saber with a rubber grip integrated in, kinda like this:

(http://evilgenius180.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/hilts05.jpg)
(The two in the foreground, not the Obi-Wan.)

Which reminds me how I LOVE the obi Grenade Grip. lol I actually like the other two there quite a bit as well.

Yeah, I like the third one a lot, myself.

All three of these are amazing!  Seriously, and the grenade grips that were mentioned before are totally amazing looking.

Yea, front two.  But if the one in front had an end shaped similar to the Darth Vader (top of emitter longer than the bottom) that would make it even cooler/bader/neater

How about  a telescopic saber hilt? A smaller hilt like an intiate style saber could house the electronics and blade holder (core), while the second part of the saber sits over the core hilt, it called be pulled down into place and secured with a twist grip thread. A simple spring like device could also be used to pop the core hilt forward, the second part of the hilt would stay in place, this would extend a one handed saber in to a  two hand saber.( just swap the blade over from a 24" to a 32" or a 36"):

I think Ultra Sabers should have the fade on and fade off effect as an option with your saber.

something along the lines of Obi TPM. And some sort of weathering option if possible ;)

I'll have to do some thinking but you need YELLOW for sure. I went with orange for my first saber since there was no yellow. I fell in love with the orange more than I thought I would.


Ooh A new Curved hilt, my best friend the fencer missed grabbing one of the pvc.

On the topic of yellow, there's a beautiful yellow option called Sentinel Yellow.  It's a special request, sort of one of those secret forum colors ;)

I concur on the curved hilt, I'm another fencer who missed out on the old Dark Apprentice.  I'd really like to try my Makashi with a curved hilt, I've only used the straight hilts thus far.

OMG! Next saber will be yellow, UltraSabers is so amazing.

I'd also like to see the Tonfas again, they would work great for fighting Muay Thai style.

May the Gods of the Forums hear my prayers.

how about like you guys are saying more options i'd like to add on that line of thought knickel plating i love it on my redemption and btw i see my fav sabers gone i'd drop the aeon or initiates before i'd dare think about booting the redemption >:( btw ultra sabers rule!!! 8)

What about a blinking AV switch while the saber is off?  ;)

You guys should really come up with a few display stand ( acrylic, metal, mirror...).
Sooo tired of the MR ( or Hasbro ) ones  :'(

Bless

... Something like this (maybe with the US Logo)...


(http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j406/Marcsezz/DSCN0194.jpg)

one thing i would like to see is cheaper shipping on lightweight items, or items under a certain amount or quantity.  like if i wanted to get a 1 replacement blade, or a single pommel, i dont know if i want to bust out $10 for the shipping.  Just a suggestion.   ;)

I would like to see some more V3's. Like a Standard Issue with Obsidian option, a Prophecy with Obsidian, a re-release of the Redemption for Obsidian, Maybe bring back the Rattlesnake. All the standard colors are fine to me. I would like to see a more lime green though.

Now that we got our Luke ROTJ style with that Archon V2, can we get our Obi-wan ROTS/ANH4 style with v-grooves and emitter?!?!?! Or just a suggestion, make a neck/emitter combo for people with the Archon V2?!?!? Thanks!!!

I'd like to suggest.....

a covertec clip. It's awesome that the wheels are on most all the sabers, but it'd be nice to be able to pic up a covertec to wear my sabers here instead of having to run to TCSS for one. Granted, I have to run over there for some parts right now anyways, but still. If they were available here... I'd have bought one or two a long time back. :) Otherwise, lovin' all the new colors and hilts! Great work Ultrasabers!

A DIY basic saber kit with detailed instructions included.  Price would be based on:

PVC without sound
PVC with sound
Metal hilt without sound
Metal hilt with sound

That's actually a really great idea.  So many people post in here asking about making their own sabers, I think it would be pretty lucrative to offer such a kit.  Once they learn how challenging it is they will just buy complete sabers ;)

I would love to see more of a mix and match hilt piece option.  If most people are like me, originality is important in a saber.  It kind of makes you feel more like you contributed to the building of it, ala jedi or sith.  I know you can mix and match certain pieces now, especially if you are trying the build your own saber feature or purchasing a different pommel.  However, I think something I saw in Disney World could go a long way.  They sell toy sabers that allow several choices for mix and match.  Imagine that on an Ultrasabers level... I'd love to see a 3 or 4 mix and match hilt piece option.  e.g. - Choose 1 from a list of 10 emitters.  Choose 1 of 12 hilt bodies.  Choose 1 of 8 pommels.  It would be a higher level of customization while still using standard pieces.  I don't know if it would make sense from a profitability standpoint for US, but it would be cool as hell if you ask me!

This isn't really Ultrasabers' market strategy.  US provides pre-fabricated combat ready sabers that you can customize post market.  There are other ways to actually built your own saber and companies that do that as their market.  US is the only lightsaber manufacturer of it's kind and it is by far the most reasonably priced.  What you pay to "make your own saber" is equal to a fully equipped saber from US.  I totally understand the desire for the "I built this" experience though.

Cheers.

I like the lightsaber in this picture (from Dark Resurrection v.0).  Something like this would be nice (angled emitter, unusual pommel, three different colors in the assembly):

(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n539/ronescli/drvol2_nilah3.jpg)

i have a yellow staff with all the perks, vid when i get it back from ultrasabers????

IT MUST BE APPROVED BY ME!

jk ;D

But I'd really love to see it.

Me too, I'm surprised with Bastila's popularity there aren't more SY staves around here.  I even considered swapping out my FO leds for some SY ones!

I know right?

I'd love to get a set of the V3 initiates so I can have a SY staff, because I have a problem.

SY would look sick on your DSI's.

I agree, I think it'd be cool.  We'll see.  Artorius and I have been in a kind of QD craze lately, we install it on just about anything we can get our hands on - I had him do it to my brother's Bane last week so I could install a Dark Violet MLS.

D-rings as an alternative to the covertec. A true pink option would be great too (I may be a dark lord but I have a fantastic sense of humour.)

The Bane's Heart is very, VERY PINK. Like Hot Pink. Like the hottest Magenta you can think of.

NOW!

While It may not be my favorite color it is an interesting color.

If you want pink, look no further.

+1 for D-Rings!

Ditto

I'd love to see a D-ring option as well.

haha kham u already saw it on youtube!

its in for repair since the usb had problems wheni first got it and the led had a permanent green tint to it with full batts lol but the day i get it back il post a vid on yourtube and il share it as a topic O:)

I would love to see a Dark Prophecy V3 or Dark Prophecy LE V3, but I hope they're already in the works. ;D I would totally second (third?) the idea of the covertec clip. It would be great to just add that in at the end of the order. I also like the thought of a display with the US logo. The sabers rock, why not a wicked display to enhance their greatness?

How about a solid saberstaff hilt? 


RATIONALE:
1) I think it would be nice to have a saberstaff hilt that didn't require the use of a coupler.

2) It would also be nice to have one button to turn the entire saberstaff on/off, instead of needing to press 2 separate buttons.

3) It would also be less wasteful and therefore less expensive because it would use only one soundboard and one charging port.  If I wanted to get the flash-on-clash option, I would currently need to pay for 2 separate hilts, each with both sound and flash-on-clash effects.

Future versions of the solid saberstaff hilt (which could be offered at higher price points) could include longer (say 36") hilts or curved saberstaff hilts (similar to the Assaj Ventress saber hilts when joined together).

A fantastic idea. I don't know why I never thought of it.

My quick idea:

For the Flash on Clash feature, it'd be cool if the saber actually went into lock-up for a moment.

Instead of flashing solid to the alternate colour for a half second, what if it momentarily strobed between the two colours?

I think the effect would be clash-tastic!  (sorry, I couldn't resist).  :P

d-ring please

Dunno if it's been mentioned,  more emitters and/or pommel designs ?

That'd be cool, just some stand-alone designs that are really unique and don't have a specific saber body to go with them.  Even just some re-paints on existing stuff.

That is an AWESOME idea! Make it happen Ultra! ;D

I would really like to see some thinner neck sabers. Just saying.

I would like to see a bigger blade size, maybe 40", and a light yari V2 ;D Not that either would be practical for me to use....

I think it would be cool if the MHS LED units and other components went on sale sometimes, that would be pretty cool for the DIY'ers and those who just want some extra parts for their existing sabers.

How about like a 'buy 2, get 1 free' emitter/pommel deal? 

Or even better; an emitter/pommel variety value pack that came with like 3 or 4 different bits but at a bundled price?  :)  Buy in bulk!

Or if they offered a deal like that with the various LED modules sometimes. Buy two, get one free would be sweet!

Different blade lengths on drop down menus for all sabers.

I would like a 34" blade in my Overlord, 36" is just a bit unwieldy for me. 

(I know I could cut it down, but I'm not ready to risk screwing it up yet)

You could actually request a 34" blade. In the comments box for your order, ask them to cut it down for you (they do 32" blades all the time for saber staves).

Thanks, I will have to remember that.

my main and most reasonable wish is for curved hilts to come back. I had a PVC Tempest - a curved-hilt staff back in the day and a metal version would be great.

on a more unrealistic note, a brown blade option would be a dream come true.

We've seen black, blue, red, and gold anodizing.  I'd really like to see copper-colored anodized hilts.  I think all gold anodized hilts would be cool, too.

I'd dig a little copper on a hilt or two..... 8)

I highly approve of this and would like to see a yellow blade color added as well.

Yellow blade color?  You know there's a color we talk about around here called "Sentinel Yellow" right?

This has probably been covered already...

More than anything I would like to see a Recharge port/kill key option
I would shell out the big bucks for this one... and I think others would as well

Another thing is larger battery size... should be more options in the power options... Ive seen that ultra has used C-size li-ion batteries for longer lifespan...

Thumbscrew blade screws would be really nice as an option....

yes Nero yellow or as you had to put it "Sentinel Yellow" or SY if you perfer. :P

Ah ok.  I wasn't sure if you were asking for a standard yellow color in the drop down box, or just a yellow option in general.  I guess I should assume everybody knows about SY at this point, thanks to Kham-Ryn lol


The problem I see there is in space requirements.  These hilts are only so big inside, and you have to cram all kinds of electronics into them (hence why they often pair up the battery pack with the soundboard).  Larger Li-ion cells would definitely reduce the usable space you have.

I should make a PSA informing people of the addictive properties of yellow. ;D

Please do  ;D

You should.

Actually somebody should make a PSA informing people of the addictive properties of Ultrasabers... it'd be really neat if we could all be in it!

You guys should add a wish list :)
you know like a list of products you wish to buy at a later time!

I totally agree with this... makes it easier to plan out future buys !

There is a wish list thread:
http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=518.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=518.0)
Lots of cool ideas... ;D

@ Darth Gekido ..I think he was refering to a option up by the "My Cart" tab in the shopping area. But yes, there are lots of good ideas in the link you posted. :D

Ohhh, right. :-[  Good idea!

I have something I'd like to see, a unique Initiate hilt. The current ones are pretty much smaller versions of the Dominix and Aeon. I would love to see an Initiate length hilt all its own.

How about a little ribbon glued to the side of the battery pack or speaker assembly so you can draw out the innards and swap your batteries more easily.

I always feel a little funny when I'm trying to impress a friend with my saber and when they want to see insides I end up sheepishly whacking it against my fist like I'm trying to get the last of the ketchup out of the bottle.   :)

I think this is a fantastic idea.

Point for you CZ3RO

On that note, however possible or impossible it might be, a little something or other for obsidian sabers to keep you from sliding the pack out too far would be cool. Just in case, or more particularly for those times when you're palming the pack out and you're in a hurry and don't want to worry about accidentally palming it out too fast or too hard....

I have a hilt design in mind that I would like to actually be in the store. Flange emitter but with the flange ring curving up like the Consular, Guardian, and Bane sabers. I like that design. Then have a coil design as the part under the emitter, and a solid traditional main body but with some groves cut on the sides and about 3 groves cut near the pommel. Then the pommel kinda pointed and with some I guess groves cut on 4 sides, Kinda like caving in type I guess you can say. Hows the idea sound? Oh and the emitter would be more flat not like the Archon V2's emitter. Just an idea. Would be sweet to see that come to life though.

Darth Cantus, I would very much like to see a drawing of your idea.  I'm also a fan of this type of emitter you described.
Amen

I think it would be cool if Ultra milled off a bunch of new MHS emitter and pommel designs - maybe even just some limited runs.  Might be cool to come up with some really out-there designs without having to commit to creating and selling an entire new saber design.

In fact, maybe we could all submit some ideas/sketches/pics to get Ultra's creative juices flowing - could even turn it into a contest!

I'm sure it's not as easy as I'm making it sound.   ;)

YES, YES, a thousand times yes. I am saving for a Dark Arbiter with sound/FoC and would love to be able to have multiple setups for it.

Maybe some MHS Slanted emitters ?? hmm  ? ;D   I'd rather spend my monies in one place, instead of having to go elsewhere for parts.

Yeah, I'd really love to seem some slanted stuff. 

MHS blade shroud would be dope too (like a Belicose screw-on).

I know it's been said before, but in hilt recharge would be a fantastic option to have.

I would love a hilt with an integrated iPod, cell phone, and dart launcher, all for under $20. Seriously, I would like different color options on the hilts and maybe a SI V3 LE.

I want to see the "Taser" Pommel. lol

I'd like to support the Copper or Bronze hilts.

I too would love to see some more pommel and emitter designs to play mix and match with:)

Some very good ideas in here.  Rest assured, we read all of them, so don't be surprised if you see your idea implemented in the future  ;)

In-Hilt recharge as an option. . . .mmmm?......yeeeeesssssss.....

"You WILL offer in-hILt ReChArgiNG as an oPTion. . ." Concentrating, Passes hand in front of your vision.

I would also love to see illuminated switches on stunt models as well.

Maybe they could rename Sentinal Yellow to Sith Yellow  ::) Yeah that would be outstanding.:)

Jedi are the main in-universe users of yellow, most specifically Jedi Sentinels. Nice try though ;)

Oh I know the color schemes for the orders :).

Calling SY Sith Yellow is a gag on Kham-Ryn Kurios and a few others.

Then I think I'll join in on it ;)

Yes it is...........

(It's actually quite funny. I'd never get weird about it.)

I've created a monster.

Creator and Creation shall fall to my blade.....

(I kid) ;D


===================

After installing my box onto my Archon I want to suggest a saber that has an activation box.

All kidding aside, you know as much as I want to see alternative saber designs.  I'd really love to see a few extra colours that US might be throwing around or playing with outside the known forum colours.  Perhaps a  vote on what colour they should explore.

Illuminated crystal chambers!

I'd like a way for the illuminated AV switches to blink or stay lit in someway when the saber off - I think it would be really eye-catching to have your saber belted with the switch illuminated.

Also, I've seen some really nice illuminating emitter plugs - a great option for when carrying your blade around just isn't feasible - if US offered them they could be emitter specific and I'd totally buy one with every saber.

I really hope Deep and Ultra are watching thees comments on this topic page. i would love to see some of the ideas here in the forums this brought to life.  8)

Some good ideas right there IMO.  The AV switch being on while the saber is on your belt would just be too cool... sure it'd drain the battery, but it would be worth it to me.

I think it would require more sophisticated electronics.  You'd have to have a way to turn it off, after all, and the whole "kill-key, in-hilt recharging system" is more sophisticated than the current Obsidian board at its current price point will handle, I believe.

I'd pay extra for a blinky switch.  :)

Maybe a continuous press would turn off the blade (as it does now), but leave the switch lit and a second continuous press would turn the unit off completely.  Then a single press to go blinky, and another single press to ignite the blade. 

I'm totally talking out of my after-burner, since I have absolutely no understanding of how the electronics work, but in terms of function, that button press sequence wouldn't interfere with the button presses currently in use (no need for a kill key in this scenario).

A deadman's switch would be pretty cool.

Just release it a little and the blade goes out and grip again the blade ignites.

Make for some neat Trakata in choreo.

I'd love to see a curved hilt option, copper anodizing (whole saber and/or accents), and more illuminated switch options (I'd love to have a SY saber with a yellow illuminated switch).

Another thing that I think would be neat would be an option with the MHS compatible sabers to customize the saber on the order.  Want a Shock with a War Glaive emitter?  Just select it in the drop down as you are selecting all of the other options.

Also I like the Consular, but it's gotten me thinking about shrouds on other sabers.  I understand that the Consular's shroud doesn't work with  the other hilts at the moment?  It would be cool if it did, or if there was a shroud that could be ordered to go on some of the other hilts...

It's be great if US made a emitter plug for people who wanted to walk around cons with just their hilts and not worry about the LED's being damaged or for people who want to make a Tantooine-style saber staff.

Yup , agreed ! US emitter plugs would be epic! It would be really cool if they had some with metal disks with their logo stamped on it ,centered on a plug with the outer edges glowing when the sabers ignited!!

The blade plug with US logo would be awesome.  In addition, an AV style switch that does not illuminate to replace the guarded switch with the US logo would be a nice addition as well.

I am finding the guarded switches to be a little hard to push at times with my thumb so I have to rely on my pinky. 

Maybe add an option to add a leather wrap on the hilt? Not sure how you could specify how much of the handle you wanted wrapped but I'm sure something could be arranged. I have seen a few wrapped hilts and they look really 'samurai' to me and I think others may apreciate the feel and comfort that the leather will give.

I totally agree with the non-illuminated AV style switch. I think they look really smart. A lot better than the guarded standard switch.

There's some really great ideas on here!

I like the following ideas I read:
Copper hilt with a nickel plated shroud
D-ring or covertech wheel as an option on all sabers that don't already have one
Offering belt clips
Option of a non-illuminated AV switch instead of the standard guarded switch

And if someone mentioned this, I missed it. I'd like to see jedi/sith belts available, with a functional pouch to carry extra batteries, etc. I realize this would mean Ultra would have to find a supplier/belt maker willing to make enough, cheap enough to be viable.

It might have been mentioned, but honestly I don't remember either.  Awesome idea though!  I'd definitely be interested in such a thing.  Perhaps down the road that can be offered (with some covertec clips or something).

I went back several pages, but apologies if this has been mentioned... You know how in combat when a jedi & sith lock blades, there's that constant electrical crackle? Would it be difficult to add a button that would do a steady sound & FoC while locked together? I realize it'd be too expensive/difficult to have a sensor that knows when it's pressing against another blade, so maybe a button for a manual FoC for those cinematic style fights? Just a thought.

I believe the Obsidian has this, buy tapping the button if I'm right. and you have to hold it a sec or 2 for power.

Oh awesome, thankee!

The flash on clash feature includes the lock up effect. You just tap the button to turn on, and then must tap again to cancel. To turn the saber off you have to hold the button down.

It is really smurfing cool by the way.

Blade plugs!

I forgot to mention those in my previous post.

Even though blade plugs are fairly easy to make, it would be cool if Ultra Sabers made some nice ones, for those of us(me) who are too lazy to make their own.

I will second that laziness. ;D

We need a Yellow Sign blade plug ;) SPREAD THE XANTHOPHOBIA!!!!!!! Kidding aside, I also support the idea of US blade plugs.

since this is a suggestion box I suggest going for some more Grab Bag sabers. Never know what you'll get. Mine will be here by the end of the week so a reveal video and pics will be put up.

Since it was mentioned in another thread I'll go ahead and post the grab bag concerns here...

There seems to be a lot of confusion as of late concerning the grab bag sabers. My suggestion would be to update the description and picture for the grab bags. Here's why...

Most of us know that the grab bag sabers do not include sound, however no where in the description does it actually say that. In fact, it actually says "...with all the electronics already installed." Which I believe is what is misleading several of the new customers that don't know any different. More clarification may be needed on that description page. 

Also, there's been a lot of questions about the PVC hilts in grab bags. It's been confirmed that there are no PVC hilts left, but again an old pic is misleading. I understand they can't keep an updated pic of every saber they have in their grab bag... but if all of the PVC hilts are sold through, it would be beneficial to them to have at least a more updated pic of the current styles that are available.

One thing I would like to see is another grab bag, this one having sound sabers. Obviously it would be more expensive than the regular gb, probably in the ball park 150 dollars to cover the cost of the board.

I think they have enough sound sabers laying around to do that. Especially if you request a colour. Thought it would be nice to get a saber with sound, I had an actual suggestion as well but its escaped my mind. It'll come back

add me to the list for BLADE PLUGS!

hell i just ordered another blade for an MHS hilt that i built a few years back and asked the folks at US to trim it to 32" and include the extra 4" piece. If that wasn't possible i wanted the full 36" so i could trim it myself and have the excess to make a few blade plugs.

That's a good idea! Put a blade tip on the remaining 4 inches and voila!

Also, I've seen that TCSS has gotten short LATCHING AV SWITCHES... any chance we could start seeing these on stunt sabers??? PLEASE!!!!?!!?!?!?!   ;D

I kinda like the idea of a higher-end saber Grab Bag.  Of course, it would be priced accordingly, but it'd be sweet to be able to get a fully loaded saber at random.

Also, there should be a Saint Patrick's Day sale.  10% off all Consular Green sabers.  lol

Any chance of katana or ninja blade saber concept happening, i wait for the day
it will go nicely with saber kunai I have started on

I would like retension screws with an easy handling knob so I dont need wrences to lock or unlock a blade. Also seperate available!

Blade plugs - we'll get on that

Grab Bags - the minimum price for an Obsidian saber is $185.  I'm sure people would expect a grab bag to cost less. I'm not sure we can do obsidian grab bags but we will look into it.

I do not recommend using thumb screws for the only blade retention method. Simply put, they are not secure.  Since we make combat light sabers, blade security is of high importance to us.

Good call Ultra.  I have my old PVC Dominix (first saber, the classic, still works btw) and that has a thumb screw for blade retention... but your really gotta use the hex wrench or that blade is just NOT secure enough.

1) YAY, blade plugs!

2) Even if it isn't possible, it's nice to know you took our suggestions seriously. Some businesses don't take their customers seriously.

3)

     (http://www.badideatshirts.com/Assets/ProductImages/XIT_0116_11128_EYE_OUT.jpg)

Sorry couldn't resist the last one...

Thanks for looking into these things Ultra. If you make the blade plugs available I'll be ordering them for sure.

How about a button or drop-down during the ordering process that adds a Covertec knob and the labor cost to your order?

Also, it could include a reminder to specify in the comments where you want the knob or it'll just go where the engineer feels is best.  :)

It's been said before, I think, but since somebody mentioned covertecs.... D-Ring? ;D

Keep fighting the good fight with me, Manroon. We'll get d-rings yet! ;)

Hey Manroon..


I'm waiting patiently for these myself.  ;D

I actually already dug a real one up myself, but if Ultra's are better and/or I get another saber... I'll snag one. It's not like they're expensive, and it's fun to wear several sabers at once. ;D

That's definitely good news on the belt clip front. I have a Covertech, but it's one of the newer ones that's not movie accurate.

since you're watching... any response on the short latching AV switches? I think they look immeasurably better than the guarded switches, and i'm sure i'm not the only one.

Agreed. After getting an AV switch on my Guardian, I prefer them to the others. Even if not illuminated.

Low-depth AV switches: If you know a reliable supplier that can provide thousands of them on a regular basis, we're all ears.  Seriously, we'd love to use them.  The supply is the only thing keeping us from offering them.

who is TCSS using? he just got low depth av switches. I'd love to get them stock with stunt sabers, even if it costs a few dollars extra to add them.

A V2 Rattlesnake anyone? Hope this fits and is allowed. (Fits as in close to the original design). I'm all for a V2 Rattlesnake saber.

(http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/weird_kid_syndrome_josh87/Saber2-1.png)

Then this for a V2 Nemesis saber. Would be sweet if both sabers were made. Again sorry if this isn't allowed. Just a design suggestion.

(http://i622.photobucket.com/albums/tt310/weird_kid_syndrome_josh87/Saber3.png)

I like these :), mostly the v2 Nemesis design, because the Nemesis and Archon have been brother sabers since US got its start, and seeing as how they  made the v2 Archon, It would be nice to see its brother return once again!

 I think if they they bring back the Rattlesnake they should just keep the original body like they did with the Overlord and Arbiter, though making it MHS compatible would be a hot selling point :)

personal preference, I just liked the clan saber look the original Rattlesnake had.

I think they would be great, but it's up to Ultra and Deep to decide.

Either way, they always seem to surprise us :D

I say have a led driver as an option. That way you can have a dim on and dimm off effect.

Yay they really now do sell covertec clips. I only wait now for blade plugs.

Ultra Graflex please. :P I know it'll eventually be released but still.

I'm with ya here.  It'd be nice to have a US logo blade plug for my US.

Yeah, I'm with you guys. Covertec is an awesome addition to the line, and I'm sure I'll be picking one or two up in the future as gifts for people and to go with various sabers, but I'm thinking when Blade Plugs come out I'll have to get one. It's sort of the thing I don't have right now. Of course, I say that when the Manticore isn't out yet... XD

Me I want a hula hoop.   ;D ;D

I gotta say that blade plugs would be awesome. I'd probably take my US out in public more often with that little safety feature added. Another idea, or maybe it's already done somewhere, but how about a flyer or a page of business cards that US fans can print off on their own? I see alot of threads where US fans are out with their sabers and people ask them about it. It would be handy if we could hand out a flyer or business card of the site/products to prospective customers.

I agree with you Darth, it would be great if we could have business cards to pass around :)

True that! I'd love to have a couple to pass around, people love seeing the sabers, but since I can't say 'go to the store around the corner' I think a lot of people don't bother or don't remember to go to the website when they get home. A card would help with that. :)

I totally agree with this.  I frequent book and game stores and this last time I went I brought my saber along for the ride...plus had to stop to the hardware store. But anyways. I had a few people ask me all kinds of questions about it, until I got to the book N game. then I was literally mobbed in the open gaming area...(RPG night). This would of been a good time to have flyers and or cards to hand out. WITH the store's permission of course.

It would be nice if all the emitters were for sale.  I plan on getting the Dark Arbiter and would really like to put the nickel plated Overlord emitter on it without having to buy the whole saber.  It would look amazing.

I second that!  I have a Dark Arbiter coming to me in the next day or so, and I would have grabbed an Overlord emitter for it if I could have gotten one.

am i the only one who would like US to bring back something like the elder which has a copper coating and eventually weathers on its own depending on where you hold it so the saber is truly unique because that would be really cool.

That would be cool..I love the look of natural weathering in brass and copper...it gives an 'authentic' look, and shows just how much you do play with that saber.

It's all about cost 8) and copper and brass are not as cheap as they once were, but we can day dream, or try and build our own ;).

Orange flash for every color please. :) I think orange flash looks the most realistic. Plus the color kinda flashes yellow/amber anyway and thats how it was in the movies. Unless you can actually request orange flash for any color?

As I understand it, FoC colors are dictated by what color main LED you choose. You can only Flash a color that can be made from what's there with the main LED color to use... so I don't think we'll ever see FO FoC be an option on ever color. Keep in mind though, with FoC that flash color comes on while the main color is on too, so it mixes. That said, you can get a similar effect with various color combos. :) At least, the way I understand it to work. I could be wrong on parts of that, but I think I've got it. *shrug*

some of the 10W LEDs are offered with the Amber LED that is Fire Orange, so its definitely possible

I would like to see different anodizing colours added as an extra custom option.  I would get all giggly if I could get a copper coloured anodized saber with black accents.  Or even the option of some of the textured powdercoating options such as hammertone colours.  I know it would add extra, but I would love to have the choice:)
And...in-hilt charging.  I know it has been said, but I'm just keepin' it out there:P

I just had an awesome idea. Okay, so we have the grab bag, and the idea of a sound equipped grab bag has been brought up in the past.... but what about those questions always cropping up about 'what color should I buy next?' on blank hilt? I suggest.... a Random Color option on the regular line of hilts! Would that not be awesome?

Oooo...I'de buy one:)  That's a great idea!

Several things I'd like to see
-Curved-hilt sabers
-all emitters and pommels also sold separately
-retention screws sold separately
-lightsaber pikes
-COSTUMES!!!

There is only one thing that I really would like besides the custom Colors that was already said.


In hilt thumb screws that worj  as the blade retention screw

Thought I'd start a thread for some any ideas on new saber types that are not made by ultra sabers that I would like to see, or think may be nice to see on the site. One of the first things I'd like to see would be a curved hilt saber, like the one used by count dooku. I also would love to see some tonfa styled sabers, as I have used tonfa and think it would be fun to try and use them in saber form. I would also like to see a saber pike or two, with a long shaft of about 5ft and about a 1ft blade. There is also a reverse grip saber that they are missing, although it is not something I would like to use. What are peoples thoughts on these types of blades being made by ultra saber and are there any other types they would like to see?
Sorry if this has been done before or is on the wrong thread but new to making threads. And relativity new to the forms.

well they might come out with a curved saber in future i think it is heavily requested much like the graflex but they would have to fine tune it so they can mass produce it which would take trial and error wouldnt expect anytime soon if at all, i dont see them coming out with pike or spear cause it more of custom style saber and i dont think alot of people would buy, however i would really love to see them make a tonfa saber really all they would need to is make a tonfa attachment and u could probably mount it to several of ultrasabers existing models so i would have to say that would be the best idea since u really dont even need a new saber model for this it could just be available in part store for DIY

Holy run-on sentence, Batman! ;)

Also, thought I might add that they did actually make tonfa at one point, and for a while everyone was begging for them to be brought back.

It would be cool if they made another spear, but to be honest I wouldn't buy it.... spears aren't my thing.

With the saber pike thogh they dont need to make it from scratch they could just make a MHS pommel that is about 4/5ft long making it possible to just upgrade a saber you have now. And these are just some ideas iv had I understand that some may not be possible as they may not be wanted enough

I thought it would be nice to have a thread with requests to Ultra for new sabers and parts that we would like to see in the shop.
Please be synthetic, this is not meant to be a discussion.

My wishes:

- a curved saber
- option of an emitter without petals for the Catalyst (same size and all, only without petals)
- option of two screws in the blade holders, one sometimes is not enough

Go ahead

Of course, I want Ultra to be the first to create a real lightsaber that can cut through anything and make Uncle George very happy. 

In reality though:

- a color changing knob rather than the 3 buttons
- some more switch options such as extra colored AV switches, different colors for the guarded switches, and so forth in the DIY section.
- Curved hilts would be very popular.
- Recharge ports as an option
- The gold colored anodizing as an option

That is all that I can think of at the moment that I have heard some people mention.

PARTS PARTS PARTS PARTS PARTS


I always feel bad when talking about TCSS on here

ALL THE SABERS!

I'm actually looking into an Initiate Phantasm V3; I really want some trustfires in my favorite sabers.

I wouldn't mind seeing an expansion into saber shrouds.  Something that you can custom order for a price or a set of pre-made that can be ordered.  Just something to possibly fancy up some of the hilts a little more than they already are.

I mostly just want a curved/dooku inspired saber  :P

Good call!!! I would LOVE some pre - made shrouds to give some more character to my sabers ( seeing as how I now own 4 of the same body style lol ).

My liberator wouldnt look too shabby with one either :D

I want a MLP:FIM-inspired hilt!!!



Not really....

I would, however, like V2s of the Death Scythe and Apprentice/Dark Apprentice/Tempest.

More current bodies available for individual sale. Only 8 different bodies available in the build your own section.

Pulsating blades... and if possible as upgrade to the Obsidian through software on a FoC.

just pointing this out i've seen 3 or 4 of threads just like this in the past couple weeks alone, maybe they should be merged

I would love for the blades to pulse. Its subtle but would be completely awesome!

Definitely agree with you on this. To stay true to the thread though, I'd love to see something like activator boxes become available. Can anyone say "turn a Archon into an even better Luke ROTJ saber"?

This would also be pretty sweet. Ultra did this on the custom Archon he built when the V2 was released. It would be awesome if he could make it into an option for switches on the site, not only for the Archon, but for the Graflex as well ( not to rush things of course, as the Graflex was just released and is still AWESOME)..

And maybe even the Arbiter..

Hell, any saber really :P

Ooh I hadn't thought of that; that would be incredible!

Really just the added ability of an extra sound-effect.

What I mean is, on the Ultrasabers USB connector and the program that pops up on your computer there is a box for a "Blaster-Deflect" affect, but there really isn't a button to allow that to happen on the actual saber.

It would be nice, for an additional cost, if Ultrasabers could add on an additional button to put whatever sound we have on our minds.  It could be a blaster-deflect affect, force lightning, force push, a sith howl, or even a movie-quote that cycles through.

It's not entirely necessary, but it would be pretty cool nonetheless if the option was available.

i personally would love a spear.... if they could get it to weigh about 800 grams and have a balance point in the right spot.. because i am an avid javelin thrower and athelete and if they would make a reasonable and durable enough ti be thrown i would thriw at night to amaze;) if they made it duarble working and all correct characteristics of a javelin it would be worth and i would pay 5-6 hundred dollars

bring back some daggers ;D

though katara blades or wolveriene style would be cool~

Actually, I believe you can do this with the existing system.  You simply put it in the lock-up slot, and simply have to keep track of which one will play next.

Hrm, this is a tough one.

Perhaps some emitter/body shrouds designed by ultra, to be attached to the existing ultrasabers base models. That is, any of the base stuff we tend to get in grab bags. Initiate, standard issue, liberator, dominix, aeon, etc.

The option for activation boxes as opposed to switches on some sabers would be nice as well.

i would like to see another claw type saber maybe one with short claws better for dueling with
 

-definately a 3 way switch instead of multiple switches on rgb
-blade shrowds
-RECHARGE PORTS
-Covertec wheel AS AN OPTION instead of req charge
-D-ring option for Original Trilogy style
-crystal chambers? Maybee? Idk, seems kinda redundant for dueling
- more US apparel like backpacs and keyrings ect.

All of this, I actually would really love to see some more US apparel that I could group with the current t-shirts. I just feel silly paying so much shipping on a shirt lol :P

Ooooh ANNDDD lightsaber pikes and guard shotos-maris brood (like what saberforge makes) and maybe a hilt sheath to strap to your chest or back like starkiller or general kota

Before anything else, Recharge ports. We need them, and you take away the hassle of removing the trustfires.

the problem with a rotary switch for RGB is it is so complex to wire for more than the 3. or if its just a 3 stage theres no way to color mix. and recharge ports maybe, but itd requrire them redesigning ALL of their hilts to accomodate it. and more complex wiring and more expensive battery packs. i dont see it happening.  curved hilts have been a constant request but it's just difficult and expensive to curve metal tubing properly. i don't see that happening either.

honestly, the only things i'd like to see are...
-more memory for Obsidian! on the current boards you cant even load up the minimum required parts for any of Madcow's fonts. or more than one or two clashes and swings for alot of Nova's.
-bring back Ultra-Blasters! these were before my time and i never got to own one. they sure looked sweet though. and now with the increased access and resources US has, i'd be very excited to see what they come up with. maybe even their own blaster board?

Dude. A recharge port that doubles as a covertec knob.

Point! lol genius

I've been looking through old reviews and I think the Rattlesnake needs to come back. It is such a simple but really appealing design. That gets my vote for sure!

Ultrasabers keychain savers that function on one triple a battery. Aluminum body, 2-3  inch blade. In just traditional red green or blue . Maybe the initiate v2 in miniature.

that would be kinda cool. it'd have to run off 1 14500 lithium cell. otherwise thered be not enough voltage to run a high power LED. and it'd have to be non-starmounted but would be doable.

Options for nickel plated emitters and pommels in the build-you-own section.  :)

Build a saber. You would basically get a choice of any MHS compatible parts Ultra offers and they would wire it up.

^Like^

I think more specifically of what I meant is that say you have FoC.  You press the ignition button once and it does the clash sound along with the FoC light affect.

It would be pretty cool if you also pressed this other button and it not only did a blaster deflect sound, but the FoC affect would flash once per every time you pressed the button.

I realize it's just a little thing and technically you could just use it with the lock-up slot, but that would mean you would have to share it with 2 different affects which kind of ruins the flow, especially if you want to do multiple deflect sounds as opposed to one.

I don't know, it's just an inquiry in the end, but I see what you mean.

the option to order a saber with a "weathered" look

Two words, Tonfa Saber. Nuff said. Well maybe not quite nuff said. Maybe some carbon fiber blades for people who like to do after effects on their vids. I got the idea from www.sabershop.com (http://www.sabershop.com)

Tonfa most definately and the pommel idea sounds pretty legit, the only thing that they would have to do is make it in several different styles.

Wait, this link is allowed? And people used to be begging for a V2 of the tonfa, but the fad died out. This is, however, the second time that I've seen someone say that lately, so maybe the fever is coming back....

A dooku saber or one inspired by that!! i WANT a curved saber!!!

I like alot of the suggestions so far, recharge port, optional shrouds, d-rings, so here's a thought, what about more claw designs? The Raven & War Glaive both look awesome and pretty Sithy, what say something more curved akin to the claw on Dookus saber. What about an emitter design that resembled the tsuba of a katana, sort of a wider version of the Bane or Archon emmiter? I seem to see alot of customs for katana based saber builds.

Hrm, might have been said before, but an ultrasabers take on lukes rotj saber. Above and beyond what the archon is, and more of an ultrasabers flair. Like something one of Lukes apprentices would make.



Toss the Graflex activation box on it, and a covertech wheel instead of a dring. And make the whole thing nickle plated.

yes, katana styled emitters would be freaking sweet, as would saber-tonfa. I would LOVE a set of those in metal!
I would also love more interchangeable claws for the raven and war glaive- perhaps a set of claws styled to look like wings, that would be hella sweet!

I remember seeing a custom saber that Ultra did, where the blade did a slow pulse when idle- I would love the hell out of it if that were made an option for the rest of us mere mortals, even if it cost a little extra.

Personally I would love to see a saber that has a hilt length of 18" and a blade that is 50" long so an overall length of 68". Basically it would be a lightsaber version of Sephiroth's masamune sword from FF7.

Well... an 18" hilt isn't so hard.  But the blade length...  a few problems there.

1:  A 50" blade (probably more like 53", to compensate for the length covered by the emitter) would so long that it would probably lose a lot of light by the tip, resulting in a dim blade.

2:  It would be very very heavy.  We're talking a claymore here.

3:  Shipping would be frightening.

Other than that, I love claymores!

I wouldnt mind a guard around the hilt
Like a Rapier or like a keyblade (Bad example i know T_T)

Some new sound fonts to manipulate would be a fun little treat.

-ESB Luke's saber and Vader's saber sound fonts.

-Prequel trilogy Jedi/Sith sound fonts
Ones that target some typical sounds of a few main characters in the prequels examples like:
Obi-wan, Mace Windu, and Anakin.

^Yes, I have thought this out very thoroughly for awhile now. XP

Others like Sith would include obviously Dooku and Palpatine.
(the EP. I soundfont offered as a part of the listed nova compilation in the US soundfont menu, it is practically a Maul inspired font.)

-I am all for curved sabers, however, instead of a Dooku themed saber(which I can imagine would become very detailed and therefore very pricey  :-\)
I would suggest something like the Black/Silver striped pattern of Ventress's saber(maybe with some variation like sliver on silver for a standard saber and for a 'Dark' saber have the black accent stripes). This would cut the cost down a 'lil perhaps but still sell bigtime? ;D
Maybe someting close or equivalent to the price of the Aeon V3's or SI V3's?(This post was entitled Wishlist  ::))

thats all i got:P

I know that it would get dim at the end because I have tried this in the past, however that being said I still wish it was possible and if it is Ultrasabers will be the ones to find a way.  ;D

hmm perhaps a stronger LED

I actually tried this with my CG Luke rotj saber that is a ultra conversion, it's powered by 6 AA's. It worked ok, it was just way to long of a blade for that short of a hilt. I don't know if that led is different than the others or if it had to do with the fact that there was 6 batteries, but alas I no longer have the 5ft blade anyhow. O well.

There's still the problem the the blade might be so heavy that it just bows under it's own weight (HG might not).  Did it do that at all for you?

Maybe side-emitting fiberoptic cord in the blade.  That would keep it bright all the way down.

It's not quite as huge as what you guys are talking about, but Artorius has a self-made hilt that's like 18 inches long... with a 40 inch blade to go with it.  It's a beast of a saber lol

4 foot blades... I has one, but I don't know that I'll ever find another unless ultra steps up and gives us the greatsaber option...

I would LOVE to see an emperor inspired hilt

Also a Monarch with quick disconnect

you could always order some blade stock and make your own.  ;)

ill put this out there. i'd like to see some new purely US designs that are still upper range. seems like they've been releasing only movie or character inspired sabers for a while now.

A recharge port would be awesome....!!!!


If they give recharge ports and Pulsating blade I would send all my sabers in for upgrading.!!!!

More clan style sabers. Like the green saber Anakin used in the fight with Count Dooku in AOTC.

sorry, forgive my ignorance....clan style? Im sure ill get it once its explained

Yeah, I'm lost on this one as well.

"Clan sabers" refer to the props used by multiple characters.  IIRC some examples are Mace Windu's TPM hilt as well as Adi Gallia's (Shaak Ti was another I believe).  In-universe it's explained as a common lightsaber design of the time period, but I'm sure it was just the prop department trying to save some money...

so the shock would be considered a clan saber then?

Yes, that's a perfect example.  The Shock was designed with the clan sabers in mind, I believe the one that Shaak Ti uses in fact.

(http://www.yourprops.com/movieprops/original/4ca93a4c65cfd/Star-Wars--The-Phantom-Menace-1999-prop-weapons.jpg)

different shrouds designs for the consular, and possibly shrouds for other sabers

shrouds for things like the v3 initiate's and aeon's to change up the lines on them, maybe some in a brass finish?

Yep. Shaak Ti, Bultar Swan, etc.

a buy one get one free or half off sale =D!!!! ill keep dreaming

(http://www.yourprops.com/movieprops/original/4ca93a4c65cfd/Star-Wars--The-Phantom-Menace-1999-prop-weapons.jpg)

(http://i378.photobucket.com/albums/oo221/Cyclonexxxice/Zi6_2720.jpg)

Just for a comparison shot...

Lol, I like the shock LE better. Lucasarts should have hired Ultra to do the saber designs

Absolutely agree with you there!

maybe a saber design contest.

and some different color anodizing.

Wasn't there one of those a long time ago?

If we're talking clan sabers heres a saber I'd LOVE to see a similarity or model after
(http://i797.photobucket.com/albums/yy253/lemon095/Untitled.png)
Plo koon/Luminara Umduli, Mace ep.1, etc.

color scheme obviously not as detailed,
 but like they did with the shock, archon v2, guardian, consular, they captured the initial base idea/design, put some of there own into it, made it great!

(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w424/JediShadow/ClanSaber.png)

I tried to make that saber a little simpler because it is awesome. But it could look like this.

Yeah, I like the shock better than the screen used hilt too! It's got some nice lines, overall a little more graceful. And not so many darn greeblies on the hilt to get in the way!

I would LOVE a pulsating/breathing while idle effect in addition to flash on clash, that would rule!

Good take on it Shadow, definately looks like something Ultra would make, that pommel would be a tough one i think though. Wonder how they could simplify it.

They wouldn't necessarily need to make the ridged pieces. They could do the pommel like an over sized catalyst. Let it taper off and maybe add grooves running the length of it. 

Instead of making such a large pommel they could make the cone looking piece a part of the saber body, and use an aeon V3 or Prophecy pommel to close it off.
That or make part of the cone a part of the saber, go down a few inches, and cut it down and thread the remainingtwo inches or so as the pommel

exactly and alot of people missed out on it so thy could have another one

Folks, let's stay on topic please... Just state what you'd like.

People are discussing the things that they would like. How is that not on topic?

Something else I would like would be the option to have more colors of anodizing. For example the Raven with red anodizing on it instead of black, or the shock LE with purple instead of gold. Things like that.

I would pay a premium for purple anodized stuff!   I know it can be done... I know a car-part maker that does purple aluminium parts.   Oh please oh please!

Purple?! Did somebody say purple?

Yes please!!!  ;D

Sabers based off the designs from the game No More Heroes  ;D even though in there they're called beam katanas.

(http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn277/MMZero5/nmh-beam-katana.jpg)

(http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn277/MMZero5/nmhcrosssaber.png)

which lightsaber featured in the star wars movies/comics/games would you guys like to see Ultrasabers offer a version of?
personally id love to have a Mace windu AOTC/ROTS styled saber avaliable:
(http://www.thesabervault.com/files/masterreplicas/items/mace_mini.jpg (http://www.thesabervault.com/files/masterreplicas/items/mace_mini.jpg))
What dy'all wanna see, posting pics of the saber would be handy to XD

Keep in mind that US doesn't have Uncle George's approval to make licensed sabers. They make their own interpretations though! That said, I think it'd be neat to have a light-club.

I'd personally like to see a few designs from SWTOR, like a Satele Shan or something.

ill still keep pushing for a Malak style saber. i dont think the popularity is there though  :-\

Wouldn't that be the Catalyst? Cause I'm pretty sure that's Malak's hilt...

Old Ben's (Obi-won) from a new hope.

Totally is...

Read through all 32 pages of this thread, and saw my main "wish list" item mentioned a couple of times, but no definitive response on it.

After using my spankity new UltraSabers for about a month, I have already developed a healthy fear of pulling out the sound/battery pack.  I fear putting my finger through the speaker, I fear screwing something up due to the force necessary to dislodge the batteries, and most of all, I fear the wear and tear that doing all of this has on the wiring over time, even if one uses the utmost caution each, and every time. 

I would love to see an internal battery/charging port, which would keep the cool stuff inside, without the need to inflict the aforementioned wear and tear.  I know space is at a premium, but since this has been done for custom models, we know it is possible.  The question is, can it be standardized enough to be available on all models, or would it only even be possible for the larger hilts?  I would definitely upgrade if it became an option.

I just made a quick render of what ultras "old ben" could look like using the tcss mhs builder, if they decided to make it that is.

(http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u404/Neil_BigBoss/th_SaberBuilder_renderoldben2.jpg)

I know that I posted this somewhere else on saberforum a month or so ago but this seems like a good place to bring it up and after skimming through the 32 pgs of this thread I know that the ultra staff occasionally sees posts here. Anyhow I would like to see 2 things personally; the 1st is I would like to have more anodizing color options for example a green liberator or a golden shroud on the consular, the 2nd thing I would like to see is all of the emitters, pommels, bodies etc available in the build it yourself section.

thats siiick hope they do make it

I agree about the Obi-wan style hilt. Though they would probably change a few things. Don't get me wrong I like the Guardian/Obi-wan TPM style saber. Also some more clan style sabers would be cool.

sort of... the only thing really similar is the emitter.

(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/8969/malak1bi4.jpg)
thats Malak's saber. i would extend the emitter a bit and add a d-ring to the pommel extension. but this is the design i'm talking about

Id buy one of those ben kenobi sabers the second it went for sale...Untill then its the guardian on my list!

Maybe it's just me, but I would LOVE to see an Exar Kun inspired saber. Even if it were only a single blade hilt but with both emitter style ends would be epic. Then again he's probably my favourite of all Sith characters of the SWU, arguably Revan (pre-redemption) and Freedon Nadd was interesting too.

nah man it aint just you, id love to see an exar kun saber to, itd be siiiiick

Same here....LOVE this lightsaber from the graphic novel, but with a little longer handle.....from what I have read it was a single handle lightsaber with dual emitters...that would be a tight little space to work with.  Exar Kun all the way!!

I love the Ben Kenobi saber! This one, or a similar one, would be so nice. There are sabers for form I, IV, V, and VI but no Soresu style sabers. I would definitely buy the Old Ben! A Makashi oriented saber would be so sick also! I don't know how you guys would curve the hilt but it would be just that much cooler.

An "Old Ben" style saber would be...awesome.

my favorite was always kyle katarn i have seen some awesome builds of this exact saber just my style....
although personally i would like to see more ultra custom designs and less starwars based designs, i would like to see more claw sabers, more square pommels its what i really impressed with on malice, a katana saber would make me get the credit card out and go nuts

Now that we have a Malgus inspired saber it would be really awesome if we have a saber inspired by the first light saber you build as a Jedi in the Old Republic game. I loved that design so much I kept it all the way to lvl 50.

I agree, its a simple style saber that is versitile in the game and you can outfit it with any color blade and it still look good with any color. i say this saber is a definite win

I'd like to see a couple sabers be made from US that I'd think be awesome to there collection.......
I like Revan's first lightsaber he used as a Jedi turned Sith Lord, and I would like to see Darth Chratis from Fatal Alliance(Bottom right corner pic) or atleast a long handled saber

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Revan's_Sith_lightsaber (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Revan's_Sith_lightsaber)

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Long-handle_lightsaber (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Long-handle_lightsaber)

KATANA SABER...shut up and take my money

I'd buy an Anja Gallandro. Probably the same day as I'd pick up the Graflex. That basket hilt was SICK.

This is basically the shock with a shock LE emitter and a guardian pommel.

I think this has been mentioned before, but I think it would be incredibly helpful if the separate Sound-capable saber section had the initial list prices adjusted to reflect what the bare minimum is for a sound-equipped saber, rather than the base cost of a stunt version. For example, the Initiates would include in the default price the cost to add the Obsidian board, lithium ion battery set-up, and vented pommel. Then the options with further up-charges could be selected within (AV switches, color and blade upgrades, FoC, pommels, etc). I would hate to hear that someone rushed through an order, adding in options to a saber and neglecting to refresh the cost, only to be surprised and turned off by the actual price. It would make the ordering process a little more transparent and efficient, I think.

Thx Big Andy......But I still like to see a long handled saber though

I suppose you COULD always get two Arbiters as a staff and blade plug the "bottom" one.

I see what you are sayin but I'd rather it be one whole long handle like on the cover of fatal alliance

Oh I know :( I'm just trying to think of something in the meantime. And BTW, Arbiters are great sabers!

well now that ultrasabers made there sweet version of the graflex saber , I would love to see them make a version of Darth Vaders saber with all the pretty add ons like the new graflex saber. besides im a vader fan so I support this

A curved saber. As simple as possible (no stuff that gets in your way when dueling or is dangerous).
Something like http://www.sagacentral.com.au/SiteMedia/w3svc436/Uploads/Images/Asajj-Ventress-Force-FX_Thumb.jpg (http://www.sagacentral.com.au/SiteMedia/w3svc436/Uploads/Images/Asajj-Ventress-Force-FX_Thumb.jpg)
I'd buy it immediately.

Im still in hopes that Ultrasabers makes a curved hilt saber, I would definitly buy one. my all time favorite sith is Asajj Ventress, I would love to have a hilt that resembled her saber some what.  Please Ultrasabers hear our calls for a curved hilt saber.

Wouldnt mind seeing one with a guard around the hilt
Like a Keyblade (My geek is showing)

i would personally like to see another saber with a shroud. I love CS-39 from qui gon jinn..
(http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w489/_xentaikaarz/cs39.jpg)

wow...thats....so...

...shiny...

I third the curved hilt lightsaber too....Also Savage Opress Double blade saber would be nice, and Galen Marek's lightsaber from TFU II

I haven't read though this thread but here are my suggestions:
-more shrouded sabers, or shroud designs.
-chassi style internals option for sabers with sound.
-recharge ports
-more claw designs
-alternative pommel design option for every saber.
-weathering and/or shining option/request.

Hope this helps

Kind of like a make it yourself concept, but It would be cool to have them make a pretty basic/plain saber that comes with all the electronics/blade installed so you can use it as is, but its so basic that the main purpose of it is you can upgrade with other ultrasabers emitters, pommels and chokes etc. As simple and cheap as the solid-body sabers, but much more customizable.
I kinda drew up a schematic for what it might possibly look like? to better give an idea of what I mean.

 (http://i797.photobucket.com/albums/yy253/lemon095/temp.png)

obviously done with the tcss saber maker thingy, but this, the concept of a working saber so basic and cheap that it screams for ultrasaber parts customization lol

Just like any of the higher end sabers, how they are compatible with each other's emitters and pommels, but a lot less expensive for the average jedi  ::)

They tried this at the end of last year, with red and blue SI's and Liberators. No one bought them, and they all ended up in grab bags. They're still trying to get rid of them 7 months later.

Oddly enough, now that they are grab bags, everyone loves them.

I know I love mine lol. I have a blue SI in GB and now I want a red one in BR    :D

I would love to see some more sabers from the movies.
A Count Dooku, an Obi-wan ROTS, a Mace Windu, a Ki-adi-Mundi, and an Ahsoka Tano.
If Ultrasabers introduced their own versions of any of these sabers, I would definitely buy one.

if they did an ahsoka or an obi wan ep3 i would be all over that and suffer my wife's ire for the month and a half that it would last

The shock is based off the clan saber the background Jedi in the movies use. Including Ki- Adi's and others are all similar to the Shock.

A dark archon v2 would be pretty fantastic...

I have an Archon V2, and believe me when I say that, because of the versatility of this saber, it can be converted to something very dark with ease.  That said, it would be interesting to see a fully dark version, to fully explore the depths of that darkness!

Actually, I have looked at Ki-adi-Mundi's lightsaber, and it is different from the two basic sabers (the one based on the shock, and the one that Plo Koon and various other Jedi use. I actually think that Ki-adi- Mundi has one of the coolest sabers.
have.http://jdpilotlightsaberpics.homestead.com/files/Mundi_top.jpg (http://jdpilotlightsaberpics.homestead.com/files/Mundi_top.jpg)

I believe you are correct.... it's certainly not the Shock-style clan saber or the Koon/Unduli etc. saber.

I like to see a Yoda styled saber......small hilt and all.....Cause I just recently finished reading Scourge and the the pantoran jedi had a small hilt saber.....plus i like the the shroud and lil shield by the saber on Yoda's lightsaber

what i want to see from Ultrasabers ........ diferent color LED AV switch options for sabers, the option to put a activation box on your sabers like the new Malice saber.  pulsating blade option, would be cool but not on the top of my list,  but number one on my list is... CURVED HILT SABER!!!!!!  its one of the most requested saber on the forums, the public is wanting it, please hear our crys for it ultrasaber gods.  dream sequence ....curved hilt saber, my beat all end all saber :P

I really would enjoy a pulsating blade. And different colored av switches. Thats what I want!

I'd like to see more blade plugs with different shapes. And a basic crystal chamber option when you buy a saber.

"Jackie, one more thing"-Uncle. Another thing I would like to see is more rgb options on sabers, if the malice for example had the option to be rgb, it would be awe inspiring. Also I know it's a shot in the dark and all but if by some miracle yall are able to make a curved saber, give it the option to be rgb as well. And while I'm on the rgb kick I know that there are latching av switches out there, so if there was an option to have the 3 switches and the master switch all be av that would be freakin sweet, and if they where illuminated to the color they control as well, I think I might just pull a Alec Baldwin from rock of ages (time in vid is 1:18)...

Aint the Bellicose a design based oh starkillers TFU2 saber??

You know......I have been thinking the same question for a long time now, I can kinda see some traits in the bellicose that match starkillers saber. i'd like to know this one myself, good question

Hail fellows,

I thought it might be fun to make a thread of things we wish to see in the future from UltraSabers. It's undeniable that the products and service we get thus far are fantastic and incomparable. But, there is always room for improvement; and one things US is so good at is releasing new things to keep us always coming back for more.

For me, there are two distinct things I'd really, truly like to see. The first is a coupler (or series of them) that are more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. I can't wait to get another Bellicose to make into a staff, but to be honest, I'll be waiting until I can find a coupler I can stand to mount it on.

The second thing (and I know this one is made frequent mention of) is for US to offer curved-hilt lightsabers. Man I'd love to get a hold of an US variant of the Dooku.

What would you all like to see, and why?

Cheers.

we already have a thread along these lines

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=7609.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=7609.0)

lol we dont need any more threads asking for a curved saber

as for the coupler, im pretty sure they have a few that fit your description already

I will give you that there probably is already a thread, and that we do not require any more requests for curved hilts, but I am curious as to how you can assume they have a coupler that fits my "description" when I did not describe it.

I am merely making pleasant conversation and observation, nothing more, nothing less.

http://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/prophcoupler.htm (http://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/prophcoupler.htm)

http://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/libcoupler.htm (http://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/libcoupler.htm)

both very smooth, add pretty much nothing to the length, and keep in line with the aesthetics of the hilts themselves, if its v3, itll work in your bellicose like you were wanting

The only issue I had with those was lacking sound; I should have specified that. I was referring more specifically to the vented couplers, which I can't bring myself to get.

@Veldryne

Don't forget these:

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=7609.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=7609.0)

yeah, point being a search would have brought up multiple threads on the topic already :-P

There IS a thread like this :)

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=7609.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=7609.0)

But I think AV switches on any saber would be awesome. I know TCSS has long and short versions of both latching and momentary AV switches in several colors so it seems like it would be possible. That is what i want to see. Oh, and I think it would be cool if there were recharge ports as an option, and if accessory buttons were actually buttons and could be used as a blaster block trigger, not a full FoC reaction, just one blaster block at a time.

edit:

I got distracted and tons of people posted lol I was going to be first but no longer ;)

Agreed! AV switches on stunt sabers would be the bomb!!

I agree with you majinknux on the current ultra saber coupler. It nice, but if you want a more smooth design you can find one  from tcss which sells several compatible mhs parts. I have one myself for my ultrasabers and it works great. a member posted some pics of his overlord staff with one too. http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=7129.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=7129.0)

Hey excellent, thank you. I am trying to find that part on TCSS and I am having a lot of trouble. Do you remember what it was called?

It should be in the extensions section. Its a double male with slots.

Much obliged.

I personally would like to see some pommels vented of course with claws! They wouldn't have to be large... Just Sith inspired! Just my $0.02...

Also, it won't look like that exactly because he had it powder-coated black. the part will look like the raw aluminum first and then you can request a powder-coating in the desired color/finish.

I think you guys should work on making the tfu 1 starkiller saber that would be a challeng but it would be awsome anyone agree

I'd LOVE to see that hilt! But I think given the complexity, it might bump the Graflex as most expensive saber.... and that's pricey territory. Plus they'd probably have to sacrifice the crystal chamber and redesign the box to keep it combat ready and avoid stepping on Lucas's tootsies and all. Still, it would be cool. Perhaps as a limited edition variant on the Graflex at somepoint? Honestly, with the Graflex out.... I wouldn't be surprised if one turned up eventually on the xsabers site as a one hitter Starkiller modded saber.

I know this has come up a few times, but I just feel like I should reiterate...

Curved hilt.  I would love it.

I would love it if they made a hilt that was very slim.... like slim enough to have to widen drastically at the emitter. I don't know why - perhaps only for the aesthetic value, as with most things I buy - but I would love love love that.

ha, i think this hilt has been so much in demand i doubt very much if this isn't the saber that ultra and emory are working on right now. and i want one too. who wouldn't?

If it did not have a windowed emitter, I would pass on it.

Bet you the emitter would be MHS. Oh gosh.... a curve hilt with a Malice emitter would be so BA.

Quite impractical, though. Curved hilts are supposed to be used 1-handed, and the Malice emitter would make it REAL hard to balance  :P

Yeah, but you know that would be intimidating as all Sith though. ;)

id also like to see the tfu 2 in game saber not the trailer not 1 person as far as i know has made that hilt and it would be a easy hilt to make plus in the game if you look at the turn on button its an red av switch

Can you post a pic of the one you're talking about?

[img] im not sure how

use an image hosting site, like www.tinypic.com (http://www.tinypic.com) or something, and copy the URL of the image or upload it from your computer and then do this: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=277.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=277.0)

should work like butter on toast.

sorry man i dont want to do all that im very lazy its the in game saber

I know Im late to the game, but catalyst and dark catalyst with rgb for us who are truly indecisive.

I presume you mean these:

(http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/3/3e/StarkillerLightsaberConceptArt.jpg)

oh I can see ultrasabers making this, this would be cake to them

I can imagine several ways to make this. Unfortunately many of them would reveal the inner electronics and those that DON'T would be thick . . . REALLY thick . . . (resist the urge)

Yea. But it would be cool.

I am sure they could do a version of them, just perhaps not with the see through feature.  Even at that, it would be and awesome saber.

not sure if anyone has already said this, the mara jade saber would be a nice addition.  I'd like to see ultra add that to the family. 

i would love to see these two hilts, ok ultrasabaers I got a challenge for you, If you can do a graflex saber and do a beautiful job on it, I would like to see you do one of Darth Vaders style hilt with the same beautiful craftsmanship that you did on your new graflex.  also im sure that this hilt has been requested to death but please qive us a curved hilt saber.  thanks :)  keep up the great work.

OOOOO.  A Vader Hilt would be very nice indeed.  I bet Big Andy would love to see this one as well.

Well I would like to see More Sith inspired hilts. (i.e. claws and spikes and various pointy thingies!) There are plenty of goody 2 shoes hilts out there already! I ordered a Raven SS and I'm about to go nuts waiting on it! Ultrasabers did an awesome job building it and shipping it out expediently, UPS is who I want to be the first to feel the Raven Wrath!!! Oops... Ramble and rant! Yeah.. More Sithy Darkness hilts! That's what I want!!! ;D

ZOMG! MIND. BLOWN.

WANT!

You like claws!!  Ok, you need to head over to the review section and check out my Overlord video.  I put War Glaive Claws on that thing and it screams Sith!!!!  I don't think you will be disappointed in the look.

Now thats a Sit Saber Right There! I like the choke on it as well! I bet that makes spinning sweet! I am thinking about customizing my Raven too when I get it. Did you just buy the emitter and with the claws or did you custom that yourself?

On the other side of the link below, are various pics of my sabers.  One of them shows my Archon V2, with a Dark War Glaive emitter attached.  It definitely takes it over the edge of Sith-ness!

https://picasaweb.google.com/100269279489461982966/LightSabers

Enjoy!

on another note, a nickle plated guardian would be nice
 

40" ultraedge blades... I'd like to upgrade from lightsaber to light-claymore but only the regular 40" blades are available right now.

I would like to see a tension release coupler for saber staves. Maybe a push together and twist for quick dual handed combat! ;D

They made one before, but it was so bulky. plus you have to consider the stability too.

 I can make this work but you might not like the changes.

(http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/3/3e/StarkillerLightsaberConceptArt.jpg)

If only the emitter part is made, I'll already be able to die happy. That thing is just amazing.

OMG those starkiller sabers! Man if those were up i instantly buy 2 of em! Really love that look!!

Greetings,

CbrS*

I say the manticore should be released on to the site as a way to celebrate CVI :)

More flanged emitter sabers. (Bane, Shock, Guardian, Consular, Archon V2). Though I hear there are going to be two flanged emitter sabers being released here soon.

I'd love a MLS-compatible saber that's 9 inches or less. Most of the sabers are longer than that and I expect there's good, electronics-related reasons, but if we could get a saber somewhere around the Initiate in length with Quick-Disconnect, I would be on that in a heartbeat.

Yes i second that too, and maybe even some that are less in width and not so bulky =)

Ow..and an option when buying to get a 32" blade xD

Greetings,

CbrS*

Oh... I see. Wish I coulda seen it though! Sometimes you need a visual to come up with an upgraded version. I would have liked to see the mechanics of it.

Ahsoka saber! Ahsoka saber! I've gotten desperate and am having a guy fabricate one for me out of galvanized fence piping!

starkillers tfu 2 saber all the way

I hate her, but I'd buy it anyways cause it's such an interesting Graflex variant. lol

Another company makes one but I'm too loyal to consider buying from anywhere else :D

Aw come on!  Ahsoka is cute. 

that and it doesnt have sound, its also about 400$

so yeah as pretty as the hilt is, so not worth it

ultrasabers should introduce a bronze colored blade! who doesn't want a bronze lightsaber?

As a single hander (Makashi specifically), I wholeheartedly second this.  Or third it, since Kev kinda already mentioned he agrees...


That would be awesome.  Very different and unique... plus you could make yourself a Lowbacca hilt!

like the idea of the small mhs hilt!

@Nero. And if they come out with a Lowbacca styled hilt? I'd just wait and get it in Fire Orange. I kinda like the idea of Wookies becoming Jedis. I would like to see a bronze colored blade though. Not giving any details cause I wasn't given any but Ultra Sabers is releasing two new flange emitter sabers here soon. Not sure what they look like yet. :P I asked Deep about the usb cable and such and he gave some hints but not alot. I just hope its soon because I could use something different other than the Bane.

unfortunately no more wookie jedi, uncle george put his foot down after lowbacca

:-(



ooh new emitters from ultra you say? .....hrm im going to have to keep any eye out

the wife said no more sabers for a while, but buying other emitters and pommels ......that was never mentioned

As long as the money you spend on the sabers is the money you made, I don't see the problem :p

lol you arent married are you

Haha no, but if I'm paying the bills, ill have as many sabers as I want haha

Boy, you had better change that opinion right quick, or you are in for a world of hurt when you start dating long term. The "Its my money that I earned so i can do what i want with it" does not fly in a marriage, or even commonlaw relationship.

Lol let us know how that goes for you.

LMAO!!!

seconded. wives and you spending money and what you want do NOT mix well. think krakatoa going off and you are not even close!

I have seen a built and functioning one of this saber..Its bad ass! so I know for sure this saber can be made. be awsome if this becomes one of the many sabers on this site.

how about a handle extension to turn any mhs compatable saber into a lightsaber-pike!

An obsidian 3.0 board that has all the functionality of the obsidian 2.0 but with the following additions.

An additional set of tabs that provide a lower power output for accent leds, perhaps going to the switch as well, allowing people to install the lit up AV switches to be installed, without needing to resistor them.

An LED driver to allow
             -modification of  blade brightess
             -adjustable levels of blade flicker, to give the blade a throbbing visual effect like luke's saber in episode 4
             

I like this idea. The super-pommel!

I would like to see them offer extension peices and choke peices and adapter peices added to the store section for the DIY crowd then i would not need to look elsewhere for customization parts, oh and 18650 li-ion cells

My blade wishlist:


1. 28-inch blades.
We've got 24 (initiate), 32, 36, and 40, but despite generally following a 4-inch increment, we're missing a 28-inch blade.
At six feet, a staff with 24 inch blades would be a bit on the short side, one with 32 inch blades would be a bit on the long side, and a staff with one of each would feel lopsided, and a 28-inch blade would handily solve that problem for me.

2. Ultraedge versions of the new, 40-inch blades.

3. Heavy-grade initiate blades, both ultraedge and standard.

4. Listings on the site for the various 32-inch blades.

This is already possible, although not very conventional. Just specify on the order comments that you want a 28-inch, and they should be able to cut it down.

Ah...thank you.
I'm such a derp, always forgetting how flexible the US team can be.  :P

Alright, how about this -- something that I'm pretty much certain isn't going to happen, but that I'd absolutely love:

A new copper hilt.

This one is pretty simple to pull off... Black illuminated AV switches, momentary and latching. I just imagine my next saber, which will be a Phantom V3 with Black AV switches with illuminated red rings! You know for us Sith Assassins... Just Sayin'... ;D

Not sure if its been asked before but how about sabers with PLIs? they look sick ;D

After 47 pages I'm sure it's been said, but I would love to see the soundboard price come down, or a basic "initiate" soundboard that is cheaper.

I posted it somewhere in the forums a month or so ago, it may have been in this thread as I cant remember and I'm to lazy to try and find it exactly so anywho I would like to see a new saber design based off of Obi-wan's saber from A New Hope. And they can call it The Elder V2.

Here is a quick rendering off the TCSS MHS builder of what it could look like...
(http://i1066.photobucket.com/albums/u404/Neil_BigBoss/SaberBuilder_renderoldben2.jpg)

PLI's?  Can someone tell me what these are.

A trading section in the forums(not a buy sell thread, and only US for US)

Viridian... light green.

That's sort of what the Sunrider's Destiny is. It's a nice blade too.

Viridian is a dark spring green (spring green comes between green and cyan). It would be awfully hard to make a color like that, but I would love it.

Chiming in -- I'd love a viridian saber, too~

A boot and/or power on file that says "Ultrasaber, anything else is just a toy!" 

That probably wouldn't be too hard to custom make honestly.

I see it as a good advertising tool and a slight slap in the face against an opponent at the same time.  Feeling kind of sithy tonight.

I'd also like lower profile claw options... something like the sabers seen in the Tales of the Jedi comics.

On that note, a crenellated Catalyst style emitter that's like twice as long.

Yeah, like that... Tales of the Jedi might be better than the movies.

YES!! UNLEASH YOU'RE INNER SITH.

custom anodizing

WANT!!!! old republic style sabers PLEASE!!!!! Old republic era rocks!!!!! 

I think this wish is in the process of being granted.  They have already released the Malice. 

if so this will be epic!!!!!......well to me anyways. :P

I KNOW  GOOD AND WELL ALOT OF PEOPLE WILL AGREE the TFU starkiller saber this would be awsome to make and it would be a big seller it would run twice a year and ALOT of people would buy it but this might need some work on the crystal chamber plus its an us so it would be cheaper than a 1,000 to 2,000 doller saber who here agrees to the fullest extent ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

as a sith id love to see this saber. I say  BRING IT!!

perhaps not a full on open crystal chamber, maybe encase it in polycarb from a heavygrade blade, to keep it all in there and durable, and make it a tad easier on the hands

the focus of ultrasabers is after all duelability

Whats the chance of a curved style hilt coming out? Doesn't even have to be a dooku or ventress replica, but something in the style.

About 50/50 ;D

Your guess would be as good as mine, I have been hoping, praying, wishing...everything short of pricking my fingers for blood magic "I KID"  to see Ultrasabers to make a curved hilt saber. I want one so bad.  A curved hilt saber is my saber of choice, just will be sooooo happy when that choice will be availabe for purchase.  It will a day of days if and when Ultrasabers makes us a curved hilt saber.

Anakin Solo, Jacen and Jaina Solo, Ben Skywalker, And a Tai Jinn Rhannon, style saber from Ultra Sabers would be awesome. Maybe a Mara Jade style saber to match the Archon since thats a Luke Skywalker style saber. Just some thoughts.

Just thought of this last night. You know what would really just MAKE a new Emitter style? Looking at pics and remembering my time looking at them at Wondercon, I can't help but think something along the Shock style of Emitter would absolutely ROCK with a shallow cupped emitter. Sort of like how the Arbiter emitter has that lip and the little holes around the rim for detail. Just make a shallow cup with the blade socket in the center, so it seems more like the blade is actually coming out of the saber. Just a thought. ;)

Purpose built shotos for dual wielding. 18 inch blades with no more than 9 or so inches of handle.

This^ I love short hilts and we need more

On that note, I'd love something akin to an upside down Arbiter. What I'm getting at there is the Arbiter has the extension on top under the emitter, with the activator in the middle. It would be sweet to have a saber with the extension on the bottom, by the pommel, so you could quickly swap from short hilt to long. You could do it with the Archon, I suppose, but that hilt just seems a little strange when I picture it that way, unless if you reversed it with the grip part to be at the bottom too....

Thirded.
