My ultrasabers package has just been delivered (Unfortunately I'm at work and have got what feels like a million hours to go) and I'm impressed.

I placed my order Sunday 30th June and it arrived at 8.45 Tuesday 9th July. Exceeded expectations, delivery to the UK didn't seem to slow the process.

Now, as for the saber reviews, I shall write them when I get home. For now, thanks US.


The Bellicose







This is a gorgeous saber. I think I cover everything in the video below but it's difficult to do it justice. The slanted emitter and general design is awesome. The blue button was the hardest decision to make, but I'm really happy with it. Kudos to whoever did the photoshopping of the different button colours, that really helped me to decide. Bane's Heart is the 'crystal' colour, absolutely beautiful, almost mesmerizing to look at.


The Prophecy

This was my grab bag. I went for a regular heavy whilst the Bell has a ultraedge heavy. I opted for a random blade and ended up with VA which is epic. I cannot stress how awesome the gold knobs and the small hole are, they really changed my mind on the hilt. I think, having looked at pictures on the US site, that I may have one of the plated ones? If anyone can confirm it I'd be grateful Smiley

The video review is below, it's the first video review I've ever done so I hope it's okay (I also don't know if this is showing up properly). Had camera problems but I think I've fixed the audio now.

Your going to love the bellicose my friend!  I have a stunt in Blazing Red and this is by far the favorite of my collection.  I have a Dark War Glaive, an Aeon LE v3, and Malice, but the simplicity of this saber just WINS me over hands down.  It feels my hands and is a great spinner.  I too would love to see pics when your weapons arrive.

Cheers

You've made a fine choice in the Bellicose (I wonder how many I've sold for US now? Cheesy) and I can't wait to see pics of it and your Grab Bag too. Will you go nuts if you get another Bellicose? I think I would - in a good way!

Nice!

Comparing the two side by side, it definitely looks like you have the Prophecy CE, which seem to be Grab Bag specials right now.

Great score, and your Bellicose looks awesome too.

Awesome, thanks, definately looked darker than I was expecting, it's much nicer than the normal silver Smiley

The Bell is a great saber, really is excellent
