    I recieved my first ever lightsaber over the weekend, a Manticore with a Violet Amythest (VA) ultraedge blade, Obsidian sound, Green AV Illuminated Switch, High Profile pommel, and Recharge Port.  I made a video, (amateur video at best, my first ever video, plus sick, so my voice is deeper than normal...), and a few pictures.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4fQMI0MQ8k" target="_blank" class="aeva_link bbc_link new_win">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4fQMI0MQ8k</a>


Oh yea forgot to mention that I can easily wield this Saber with two hands, fits nicely, just need to wear gloves when I spin it as it rubs one of my knuckles sore.

And here are some pictures of my new Saber, plus me,  Grin







So, yes, I love this saber, and I truly do agree with everyone, this is absolutely an addicting hobby, already planning on acquiring at the least two more, an Aeon V3 or a Liberator will be next, not sure when though,  Roll Eyes. And if any one knows how to take the sound board out of the saber to connect so I can connect it to my computer, I would appreciate advice on doing this.  I would like to change the volume down just a bit, maybe turn the motion sensor up a bit, and try to change the sound font to something more Jedi...

Oh yea, I was wearing my renaissance costume since someone asked me to during the video review...and I forgot to show it,  Sad, sorry. I will get better pictures taken while I am wearing it later.

Love the saber Mistfeather.  I love how your cat decided to be on camera as well.  What is the cat's name btw?  Sorry if I slightly derail the thread but I love animals.

Haha, I didn't even realise she was on camera, Wink, her name is Blossom. I have two other cats as well, another Calico type named Lexie, and a small one that looks very similar to a Russian Blue, named Tasha.   And for some reason Blossom just so happens to be the only overweight cat of ours...and she eats the least amount of food, >.<, and just as active as the other two, lol.

Awesome! Congrats, Mistfeather! I think that's the first Manticore that I've seen in VA. Looks fanstastic!

Congrats on your new saber Mistfeather.  Bought the same one for my lady, except low-profile pommel, blue A/V, and she can swap between Violet Amethyst & Hot Pink MLS units.  You mind is now under control of the saber...    Wink

Great review, thanks for sharing. You have an awesome looking 'sabre to start your collection with!

The blade looked blue until you dimmed the lights, but I know VA often does in videos.

Well, the blade itself does have a slight blueish tint to it, but it still looks amazing, I have no qualms with the way it looks,  Grin.

Looks really great. I prefer the high profile pommel for balance.

I think with ultra edge the Violet becomes more blue due o the whiteness of the blade.

Because Violet is red and blue

Yea, I chose the high profile for balance and it also looks better in my opinion.

Hmm, I didn't even consider the white Ultraedge blade could cause the blue to be more apparent, but that makes sense.  Hmm wonder if I should try to add a small resistor to the blue at some point to try and balance them a bit more. Maybe not.

I've noticed that Ultraedge blades give VA a more magenta hue than the mid/heavy blades. See the comparison below.

Midgrade                                                                                            Ultraedge Midgrade


Heavy Grade                                                                                        Ultraedge Heavy Grade

Wow, those are fantastic shades, even in ultraedge they look gorgeous.
Thank you for showing me the comparison of each blade.

Hmm, ok, so I think I just need to maybe find a way to add a small resistor on the blue in order to make a balance of red and blue. We will see, Smiley.
