So, story time! I know I've said that the fire orange initiate I just ordered would be my first...that's actually not entirely true. See, about 5 years (I think?) ago I got a very lovely saber, but I was only able to enjoy it for a short while before it had to go into storage for a few months while I moved. Dummy me stored it with the batteries in, and they leaked. Badly. At the time I thought that was going to be the end of that, so I forgot about my poor saber for a while and only recently picked up any interest in getting a new one. Anyway, as I was sitting here bored in that lull between Christmas and going back tow work, I realized that I know a LOT more about fixing things that I did years ago and that I should at least try to clean up the corrosion, and it worked like a charm! Didn't mention the old one until now because I felt like a fool for not taking good care of it, and also because this may as well be my first time because I remember NOTHING about the old one. So, without further ado, the revived saber! I think it is prophecy in arctic blue? Oh well, it's blue, and blue and orange look awesome together  hence why I took the selfie to show it with my orange hoodie!   |

My first saber was orange, my last was blue! Sadly my blue saber is out of commission I fried the sound board. |

Arctic Blue is a gorgeous color, cool and peaceful. Definitely a Jedi color. +1

Very nice! I was just thinking of getting an orange one to go with my Guardian Blue Initiate....but I'm a Rangers fan, and that's Islander colors, which I have issues with.

Great job reviving the saber! Prophecies are very nice. I'm very partial to blue and orange right now since that's the colors of my two sabers.
