Having a present arrive when you are stuck sick in bed is nice Tongue



Squee, obsidian v4 is so cool! *happily plays with the preloaded soundfonts*

And for those who were worried about size- this saber is by far a lot wider than my other saber hilts and heavier. BUT- I can hold single handed and my thumb and fingers do touch wrapped around it, and I have fairly small hands, I take either small or extra small gloves usually.



ALSO AS A NOTE REGARDING THE VTAR VC2 CHARGER FOR NON AMERICANS: seriously spend the extra and get this over the standard trustfire if getting the lithium ion battery set up. If for no other reason (theres plenty) because it charges via the USB adapter cord they give you, you don't have to worry about needing to find an adapter plug from the US plug to your country's or finding a figure eight cable to fit. Since so many devices these days charge via USB and have a USB wall plug (dunno about the rest of you but I have at least 15 roaming around the house plus a multi USB charger port) it's going to be far easier, unless you are like me and have been saving every figure eight cable you can find off older dead electronics Tongue

Excellent B1ondeange1!

That had to make you feel slightly better. Smiley

Thanks for the explanation of the girth.  Very helpful.

I've altered your post slightly, since we can use standard wall plugs in Canada too. Tongue

Looks awesome, and congrats.

Rofl, might be standard there but not here Tongue and no problems Smiley

Now if only this cold would go away I could play with my new toys more Sad

Extra note- the battery pack is very tight in the hilt and it's not just the speaker, its the whole package. This makes getting it out to change batteries difficult- lots of shaking, some swearing and some careful prying. I'm thinking of sanding two sides of the speaker surround flatter and gluing a loop of ribbon or something on so that I can pull it out easier.

Also quick coupler equals awesome! One very happy double bladed saber owner now Cheesy

Also as an American I never realized the global utility of USB charging - but makes a lot of sense!  Get well soon,

anyone happen to have one with a recharge port yet? I sort of would like to know where they would put it...after my dibacle with one of my previous sabers having the battery compartment break after changing batteries I've since upgraded both of them to recharge ports...and plan on doing that for all my sabers from now on lol...also what would the normal retention blade screw look like compared to the circular one? would it be like, say, the Dominix V4 where it doesnt stick out?
