Less than 2 weeks! Yes, thats right, thats how little time it took for my very first ever UltraSaber to show up. From the time I placed the order [the very last day of the "Deal of the Day" for the dark catalyst], to the day it showed up at my door. Now thats service.
Pictures will come later, once I figure my way through that.
Needless to say, I am VERY pleased with the results of my purchase. Some background info: I got the Dark Catalyst with a 24" UltraEdge blade. Sunrider's Destiny and a green AV switch. And yes, I got the Obsidian Sound. All that adds up to a very very impressive piece.
I am a dwarf, so I have small hands, so I am very much in love with the choke point on the Catalyst. Though I find the main part of the body is easily grip-able with the grooves. I probably could do with a couple more inches of blade length, but the 24" initiate blade is quite adequate. I am one of the rare folks who thinks the whole thing should be heavier on the hilt end. [I mean, it supposed to be a lightsaber, there should be no weight to the blade
]
My future plan is to swap out the pommel and emitter and make my own personal saber [one of the high benefits of Ultrasabers in my opinion]. As for the near future, I am off to show off to my friends. I know several have shown interest in Ultrasabers.
Thanks to Emory and his whole crew.
