"Do unto others BEFORE they do unto you..."
« on: January 15, 2013, 12:55:09 PM »
I just had to chuckle.  eFX is releasing:  Obi-Wan Kenobi Precision Cast Stunt Lightsaber Replica (The Phantom Menace).  Looking at the pix (inappropriate to post/link?), our Guardian outshines it, literally and figuratively - in every way.  Yeah, their's may be "screen (reel) accurate", but I'd be disappointed if our Guardian was...

I have eFX's Luke and Dooku and am very happy with them.  Because I have a Guardian, the above is a definite pass.   Grin Grin

That's too funny.  Glad I ordered my Evil Guardian today  Grin

Yeah, a link would be inappropriate. Thanks for the discretion! Smiley I saw some of their stuff at wondercon last year. The Dooku and Luke Hero are VERY nice, but there is something to be said for a good looking saber you can actually fight with. Wink Still.... that Dooku of theres is awful pretty... as is their Maul.

I agree. I saw their "Guardian" and I don't think it comes close to what Ultrasabers offers. I find that's the case most often than not when comparing Ultrasabers to the other guys' stuff... and I give everyone equal chances...

Looked them up.  Honestly, for $15 what would one expect?  Of course Ultrasabers is going to be better.  Granted I knew that before I looked them up, but still, they weren't impressive at all.

I think you forgot the "1" in front of the "15".   Smiley   I got their Dooku for a similar price, $115, and it is very nice.  Perhaps the pic doesn't do their Obi justice.  In most cases you get what you pay for and I feel I got my money's worth with my eFX Luke and Dooku.

In some cases, you get MORE than your money's worth...ULTRA SABERS!!!

Cheers!

I just googled what you wrote.  lol.  Came up on some random site for $14.99 plus shipping.  Looked like really shoddy craftsmanship though, even in the pictures.

Ahhh! I didn't even check the price! Had I, I wouldn't have even bothered posting the obvious above!  Tongue
