Sooooooo...... Today was the day!!!

I would have uploaded the unboxing video, but I actually had an exam due today, so I've been a little preoccupied!!

Full reviews on these 3 (Frankensaber on left, dual Spectres on right) to follow AFTER the unboxing vid!

Man, that Frankensaber stands out!  Very nice!

Those all look amazing, that Frankensaber also looks like it would be a great double bladed lightsaber if you could get a matching emitter and an led at the pommel end.

Let me know how the quick disconnect couple is, I ordered a vented coupler and only noticed the quick disconnect after my order shipped so might have to get one later (as would fit being on the fallen i've ordered)

It is a BEAST!

The Spectre is a long saber, and this thing is just huge.  Gotta be pushing close to 18".

That was my first thought with the Frankensaber, too!  The grips at both ends would make it perfect.  I may have to see if I can find someone that will modify it for me.
Until then, I will be having a lot of fun with pommels and emitters

The quick release coupler is great!  If I had one complaint, it would be that they rotate pretty freely when connected, but even that is just a small gripe.

Impressive. Most impressive.

Impressive. Most impressive.

But I am not a Jedi, yet.

Thanks, Mercury!

[Malik Thanewulf]

So very nice. Thanks for the share.

Them sabers are making my mouth water... XD  Congrats on finally receiving your three enchiladas!  Modifying the frankensaber to be double-bladed is an awesome idea if you can find someone to do it for you, although I suppose it would drain the battery twice as fast and you'd have to machine some holes for the speaker sound to get through.  Looks like you're going to be having a lot of fun either way!

I sure hope so!

Unfortunately, I'm already having to perform surgery on my Frankensaber.  I hooked it up last night and uploaded a new sound font to it, and when I put it back together, something is binding somewhere and the saber loses power.  Comes back on when I loosen the pommel, but when i tighten back up same thing happens.

Shoot, sorry to hear that.  Maybe when you screw on the pommel it's causing the battery case/motherboard to twist and strain the cords?  Maybe you could try slightly twisting the battery case the opposite direction of the direction you screw on the pommel.  Still, I don't have any experience with fixing sabers, so I dont want to mislead you.

So my order got to the Uk on Friday, got to my local deport at 1am on Saturday but annoyingly had special handling of "Weekday Only". They attempted to deliver today but annoyingly just after I left for work and before my partner woke up so hopefully they will retry tomorrow.
The closer things are the worse the wait gets, next two days of work are going to be agonising.

I've tried just about everything I can think of, short of trimming the wires inside the hilt; there just seems to be too much wiring that is causing strain.  However, that has now taken a back seat to the fact that one of my Spectres just lost its red LED diode :/ super bummed that I'm probably going to have to ship it back for repair.

I had sent customer service my wish list to see if they had anything on-hand that would help keep me occupied while I wait for my August order.
These colors just aren't me, but if anyone is interested, the Crimson Scorpion, Crimson Omen and the Crimson & LE Grand Master are in stock.

Hey, I was hoping someone could give me a quick update. After I received my saber earlier in the year, I haven't followed anything regarding US. In starting to think about another purchase, I'm just curious if things have picked up in production times and customer communication?

Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks all!

Customer service has from what I can see and the production time is really dependant on what you order, I recommended emailing a list of hilts that interest you to find out if you'd be expecting a wait or almost instant ship similar to what Toolmaker16 did in the post above yours.

And my partner has messaged me to say the parcel has been delivered. Will do an unboxing when I get home, will be my first ever attempt so hopefully will come out alright.
