I get you, man. I was at the same crossroads when I ordered my Lost Gray and didn't have the funds for an Emerald, and I have an emerald Electrum Wind, so I heartily agree it's so worth having, but for this one I made a deal with myself, forego the Emerald, go with a TRI Cree GB instead, get a raffle entry and then put a 30 inch photon blade on it. The photon blade uses the wavelength of the TRI GB LED blue light to convert it into an even brighter eerie lime green color, like Ahsoka Tano's saber in Clone Wars. I still get two blade colors out of it: a very bright guardian blue and a very bright lime green, not bad. From what I've seen, lighter shades of blue work better with Photon blades. Might want to consider a TRI-AB if you haven't already ordered.

Finally pulled the trigger and bought 4 Grab Bag sabers and blades. Considering the plan is to get others in the community interested and they'll be using them, I don't feel bad.
Now my wife may kill me, but I don't currently feel bad.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion, OBK, and please have a point for not only helping me out but suggesting TRI-AB - it's my favorite color! I have in fact already ordered, but that's okay. I do have a 36 inch photon blade already and have tried it with the two TRI AB sabers, the Graflex and Dark Prophecy, and my one regular GB saber, the Consular, and I couldn't see a difference. I was seriously close to buying another TRI AB for the Lost Gray, but since I already have it on two of sabers, I decided to go with the TRI GB on this one instead. Though I haven't tried a TRI GB (vs. regular GB) with a photon blade, I am really looking to see how the extra 20-30% boost in brightness will affect the photon blade. I'll sure talk about it in my video review. So enough about me... have you decided if you're going for a Lost Gray yourself? I hope you can. I especially love hearing when someone really wants a saber, can't decide for various reasons, not the least of which is having the money for it, and then later hearing that they pulled the trigger. I just want to cheer them on - yeah!

So I think it's time to admit publicly that I have an addiction, and it has to do with lightsabers, but I'm proud to say this: UltraSabers is my supplier and they're awesome. It's late, and I'm trying to be funny. Never try to be funny when it's late.
Just saw the Archon 2.1 Flash Sale, and while earlier today and again only just a few hours ago I was toying with the idea about possibly ordering another saber while the raffle was still going, I think this put me over the edge. I've been admiring both the Archon V2.1 and V3.1 for a while now, and while I really like the looks of the 3.1, I wasn't keen on the special blade requirement and lower durability of the Emitter neck, so I just took a giant leap and ordered the Archon 2.1 just now and pretty excited!!!
The specs I chose are below. This is a very cool hilt that comes apart in 4 pieces, so later I think I might try replacing the neck with a vented coupler like I've seen others do or put on an Overlord Emitter. Very versatile, so cool to have this Luke ROTJ style saber. 😋
Archon v2.1 with Obsidian Premium Sound [Blade LED Color:Sun Rider's Destiny] [Flash on Clash:No Flash] [Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries Included *ONLY*)] [Recharge Port:No Recharge Port] [Blade Length:36" Standard Size] [Blade Option:UltraEdge Heavy Grade] [Pommel Version:Classic Version] [Quick Disconnect:Sure, Add Them!] (QD LEDs I already have: TRI-CG, TRI-AS plus color discs & GB) [Sound:Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]] [Switch Type:White Illuminated Black AV Switch, Silver Bezel requested] [Blade Tip:Round Tip]

Ack, that sounds like an awesome spec. Hmm... vented coupler + FF coupler + Overlord emitter... It'd be a whole new 'sabre! Congrats on another order, Lord B!
