Fulcrum, Lost Grey, and Electrum Wind.

[BlindJedi]

Which options do I get to make the Fulcrum, Lost Grey, and Electrum Wind look as close to their inspirations as possible?

[BlindJedi]

The Electrum WEind is based off of my favorite saber in the SW universe.  Not sure why, but I just loved that saber as a kid, even though when they shipped them to stores there was only one per shipment to the store.  I had to call around and reserve a saber at TRU.
Then I got it home and the dark purple blade didn't glow much at all.  What a disapointment, but the hilt was simply amazing, and I still have it in a box in the attic.
Then along came a little blue girl with her two sabers, and well, I think when I get the Fulcrum and Lost Grey in my hands, the spot of favorite saber may change.
I just wish I knew which options to get.
I tell you being sight impaired sucks, especially when you can't look at a picture online and see the beauty of a saber, or what color the parts of it are.
But, when you get an amazing hilt in your hands, some how the sight doesn't matter as much and you become one with your saber.

Hi. About the Electrum Wind, It depends on you if you want Violet Amethyst, or Dark Violet Amethyst, in my opinion, I think Mace's saber was more of a VA. Chamfered grips and black pommel. White AV switch, not iluminated.
For the Fulcrum, you have to go Consular Green, silver activation box, silver switch, and gold button. For the Lost grey, it is supposed to be a lime green, and US doesn't offer this, so you could go Tri AS and use some filters or color disks, or get it emerald and try tunning the color you want, or you could order Sentinel Yellow, and ask nicely in the coments box if you could have a bit more green in the color than normal, so I suppose that way, SY will turn out a bit more greeny... And silver AV and gold button too. Hope this was helpfull for you. If Im wrong in any of the specs, please someone correct me...

For the Electrum Wind, you want rounded hand grips, the button type set screw and it doesn't really matter on the pommel.  Mace's saber has both gold and black on the end of the pommel, so both colors would be technically correct.  It's set to gold by default, so I'm guessing Ultra Sabers is going with that as the canon color.

As for the other two, you want a bronze button and a silver activation box on the Fulcrum.  For the Lost Grey, leave the button selections to their default values, black for the bottom and bronze for the top.  The blade color should be green and silver switches for both sabers.

I didn't know you could ask for a custom made color like that.

This thread shows what is available and explains how to order them:

You can always ask  .

Whether you get it probably depends on who's putting the saber together.

My personal guess, which is not official and should not be taken as US policy or anything else like that, because it's just a guess on my part, is that US probably will do it on a limited basis, depending on how busy they a re and such.  It's probably not something they advertise because it's almost impossible to get consistent custom colors on non-Emerald sabers, but given their high level of wanting to do what they can to make customers happy, they'd probably be willing to give it a try for you.  May or may not cost extra, and it would probably be on a "this is the best we could do, sorry if it's not perfect" basis.

Any special request you can always ask for (probably by email rather than in an actual order), but keep in mind that they may not always say yes.

Most obvious one are LED colors. Hilt options are relatively less obvious compared with the  LED color. I think Dark Violet Amethyst suits the Electrum Wind if you want a canon color.

What they've usually done for my special requests, and I've had my share of special favors in the past, is to email [email protected] first and tell them what you want. If it were me I would be as specific as possible. They will check and get back to you with a yes/no and cost. If you want to proceed, then they will tell you to place the order and what to write in the comments section regarding the color you want, and they will probably want you to reply back to them with the order # so they can follow it through. My guess is that, yes, they will definitely do it for you, and that it will probably cost more than $5 extra, but not likely more than $15.

If you end up doing this and it turns out well, please come back here and share how it went, cost, color, etc.

If I were to use the Lost Grey as a staff, or two single hilts, in my Sci-Fi YouTube Miniseries, would they be easily recognized as Asoka's?
I'm trying to use hilts that aren't immediately recognized as belonging to the SW universe.
What if the decorative buttons were replaced with a different color, say black?
Thanks in advance for your help guys.
