Congrats Rohn Ritalia!  As with all US the Manticore is high quality and you will enjoy it for a long time coming.  I love BR it will look beautiful in that color.  Be sure to post some pics when she arrives!

Just ordered a new manticore CE I'm stoked! I've ordered it to use in a new short film I'm doing.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it.  Is it your first US too?

So my package arrived in record time (which seems normal for US) I'm still out of state on vacation so it will be a few days before I can get my hands on it.  It's just sitting there waiting to be freed from it's packing bondage and fired up...  so much for vacation keeping me too distracted to think about it.

I can empathize, saber fever has caught me more than once while on vacation. It's great being passionate about it but sucks that you can't do anything to ease the pain! Focus on the force-no emotion!

How many inches of blade do you lose in the emitter of the Manticore? I'm 5'8" and got a 32" blade, as I like to be able to hang my somewhat long arms at my side, holding the hilt close to the emitter, blade down and not have the tip touch the ground.

Answer, approximately 3.  I know because the saber arrived and I measured it myself!  What a stunning piece! I'm kinda in love with it.  It blows my previous sabers out of the water in just about every aspect.  Like you all said it would be, the design and nickel finish is marvelous in person.  Sound and brightness are as good as advertised - awesome! The hilt isn't as chunky as I thought it might be.  Probably because I only have Parks and MR to compare it to - it very nice to handle.  Also much lighter than I expected and this was a pleasant surprise.  Some of the lightness might be the standard blade that I opted to get cut down to 32".  I have two more blades coming - one is heavy grade so we'll see how that impacts the overall feel carrying and spinning.  I hate putting it down but do from time to time to play with the free Initiate V3 with ice blue blade that I scored along wit the Manticore.  I think I'm hooked.

The Saber is a two way street. Make your decision.

Right now I'm just thinking of the song "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate. Awesome saber!

You all are making me want to join the Manticore CE club. Is this one suitable for a Jedi side saber? I know even with the silver could go either way though Tongue I might get me one at Dragon Con if I'm able to go this year

Hazzard502.  I'm allergic to snow in a personally offensive, just don't like it way!  Isn't winter technically officially over in the Northern Hemisphere.  Pretty please change your photo perhaps back to the crossblade SW7 one  Grin

Am pleased that the RGB Manticore is back.  I have the emitter and pommel but not the hilt body.  Perhaps my next saber.  Wink

I respect what you're saying, and now that you mention it I am bothered by the snow as well.  For the good of the forum brotherhood I will change the scenery when I get onto the computer tonight.  Wink
