(im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!

[Lev]

Nice! And of course similar picks....it's the best looking saber around, the Bellicose It's also my first saber, so I'm gonna be in love XD I also got a circle blade plug, and a small stand, despite the fact that I might not even use it xD Why put it on a stand when it can be on my clip, on my belt?



EDIT: Dark Side point for having such good tastes

It's a seriously tidy looking hilt. Even better in person than the pics do it justice! You will love it, especially as your first saber!! Good choice 

I'm 6ft but i'll have to cut my 36" blade down a little for it to hang neatly on my covertec

I'm at work currently.. and having to resist picking it up and swinging it around every few minutes! Luckily my work colleagues are equally as nerdy and also keep coming over to pick it up and have a play haha.

+1 Light side point back at ya

Thinking about ordering myself a bellicose or a Archon v3 but i think i will wait until this whole mess is over. wondering what type of sabers i will get with my 2 grab bags. hmmmm.

It does just look so tidy, and well designed.  Seeing the multiple videos of it out there just made me decide that, I HAVE to have it xD

I'm a shorter fellow, so my 32 should hopefully be the right choice for me, especially with the 13 inch hilt. xD And, well aren't you lucky? XD


Thanks

Also, *I* also ordered a Bellicose! I ENVY YOU! XD Mine is a TRI Consular Green with long pommel as well, black blade holder, black guarded switch (Had a budget, so no AV) blue button detail, because blue and silver go so well together, imo, and a chrome covertech wheel at the rear near the pommel. Obsidian V4 of course, and a 32 inch UltraEdge Heavygrade

Non-illuminated AVs are only a $10 upcharge, and are so worth it.

Also a word of warning. Sabers that have blade holders, or that have recessed or covered blade screws (namely: Bellicose, Raven, Menace, Flamberge) don't work easily with HG blades. I have a helluva time getting blade plugs into my Belli and Menace. The blade screws have to be flush in order to reassemble the saber, and HG blades are tough to wrangle into that position.

I was trying to decide between the Bellicose and Archon myself, i can safely recommend the Bellicose now i've held it and seen it up close. I'll do a review video soon and maybe that'll help you decide

I've been so tempted to order a grab bag and see what arrives... did you specify colours or order them completely at random?

I'm not even sure if it's possible, but after this whole backorder thing is over, I'm planning on shipping it back to upgrade it. xD

Also, thanks for the tip! It's not impossible though, right? I'll likely have it without the blade for.....a good 80% of the time XD

Yeah i was actually going to get one of those first and then do grab bags but i couldnt decide so just went with the grab bags first. everything is random i did not specify the color, maybe i should have but o'wells. Let us know when your vid is up. enjoy your saber, not at work tho. lol 

[Mivew128]

I, like many, wanted a saber NOW when I first discovered Ultrasabers. I went through so many, and had to settle every choice. Then, tax return. Time. To. Spoil. I could have chosen a Flamberge. Or a Mantis. Or a Shock LE. But I chose the Bellicose. It's a beautiful looking saber, truly an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. It also is seemingly the most customizable saber out there.


You can choose:

What secondary button color you want. Red, Green, Blue, silver, copper, gold, chrome.

A silver or black blade holder.

The covertech wheel color.

The blade color.

The groves in the pommel.

While yes, some of these options come with all sabers, the Bellicose just has more, making it truly YOUR saber. Between the Achron and the Bellicose, the Bellicose will be YOUR saber.

That's a cool way to do it though, and even nicer as you'll even have a surprise when you switch the sabers on! Will do and yes.... i should really knuckle down and finish my last bits before the weekend! haha

[Mivew128]

I just realized you're THAT Lev! XD I watched the review on the consular, and it is honestly one of the best explained reviews I've seen out there. XD Most just go "It's a saber it's so cool look it has sound I got it in this color it's so cool uh it has a coovert--I mean covertech wheel for uh, being cool, and it's cool" but you went into really good detail about all of the specifications, and.....can you please PM me that Mario font? XD

According to my correspondence with customer service, upgrades and repairs are not backlogged. The backlog is due to the demand for brand new sabers. Basically they are out of metal, and are trying desperately to get the aluminum components in from the fabricator. I work in the aluminum industry, and I can tell you quality fabricated parts don't come fast.

As for the HG blades, no it's not impossible, just more effort than I would want to put in on a regular basis.

To both Lev and Mivew,

For a simple fix on clipping your Bellicose (not sure how to pluralize it  ) I would recommend buying a separate blade holder. That way you can keep your blade in one, and a plug in the other. Then changing from "saber off" to "saber on" would be a 5 sec change out. That is pretty much how I store my Flam. I just unscrew the main emitter with the blade still in it.

@ Lev,
I have a simple cosplay trick you can do to your robe (I assume Jedi) in order to keep your blade on hand, but be able to use a plug when your saber is clipped to your belt.

[Wrathblood]

Thank you.






GUYS LOOK IT'S ANOTHER 136 WE CAN HOPE NOW!!!!!!!!

Hmm, interesting. My guess is that they're still somewhat struggling to stay on top of the battery case situation, so Li-Ion orders are getting somewhat speedier fulfillment, maybe shaving a few days off delivery time. So a AAA battery order in the 136xx range would ship maybe Tues/Wed of next week, but a Li-Ion order in the same range and its this week instead...

yeah, i deff will be buying a Bellicose but i think i will also be getting myself the Archon as well, what do you guys think i should do? i want these sabers for display and also to mess around with (have fun) should i get the sound or just go with straight up stunt? i mean i will deff be getting 1 with sound. but they will mostly go in my entertainment room on the walls.

Is it even possible to buy another Bellicose blade plug? I only see the Raven available xD


Also





Bellicosi?

Bellicoses?

Bela Lugosi? Nope...

[Karmack]

LOL
I don't remember for sure, but if you can get a spare Bellicose blade holder, you could permanently mount the plug in one blade holder and the blade in another, then just swap the blade holders out.
