Hello Mr. & Mrs. Reader:
The name is Rho Shinn. I am new to the Saber Community (although a Star Wars fan since the 1970’s). I’ve actually purchased my first custom saber from another organization, you know, “The Other Guys”. Be that as it may, I have seen the light and am now a very happy Ultra Sabers fan.
I will not dwell on my first saber purchase; rather, I would like to discuss my first Ultra Sabers purchases. It was a couple of weeks before Christmas and I had been waiting for a couple of months and was still without a saber. I was watching online videos when I saw a presentation for “The Consular” by Ultra Sabers. After visiting the Ultrasabers.com I decided to price out the configuration that I wanted and it turned out to be very reasonable, but the icing on the cake was that there was a special going on right before Christmas I think it was either a 15% or 20% discount. So I just went ahead and placed the order.
This was my first experience with Ultra Sabers so I was not prepared for how fast the saber was produced and shipped. I ordered the saber on a Tuesday night and it was at my door the following Monday! I began to question if a quality saber could be made that fast. The short answer is “YES” and I say that with authority!
What stood out to me was the lack of sharp edges, the clean lines and the attention to detail. The craftsmanship was excellent. I am not a small man so I appreciate size. The weight was good and the saber has a nice balance. When I activated the saber the sound was very strong. The beam was bright enough to illuminate the whole room. I spent the week before Christmas becoming familiar with my new saber. It is perfect and it is exactly what I wanted. I am very happy with it. Normally I would wrap my review here but lets keep going.
As Christmas drew near I received an email saying that the discount that I took advantage of was still going. I figured it I had been very good this year and the man in the Red Suit would be okay if I treated myself to one more gift. So on Christmas Eve I ordered another Consular with a few extra parts. It was at my door a few days before the New Year. My second Consular is just as spectacular as the first. I know there are going to be those that ask why buy two of the same sabers. Well, here it is: Right now I am enjoying being the owner twin sabers; but what I am also enjoying is being able to convert my twin sabers into a Consular Saber Staff. I will confess that I am a bit clumsy with a saber staff but I am still new to it. I will keep practicing. As for now I give the “The Consular” by Ultra Sabers two big thumbs up!
I know that I said I would not go there with the other guys but let me say this: My order was placed in early October in late November upon delivery the saber didn’t work properly so I had to send it back for repairs. I am still waiting for repairs to be completed. Please take special note that I am not being negative I am just stating fact. I look forward to celebrating the New Year this weekend. Happy New Year!
Take Care,
Rho Shinn

Good review. Glad you love your Ultra Sabers!! They make the best sabers in the galaxy!! The Consular is on my wish list. That is typical of the other guys. That is better than the experience that a friend of mine had.

Hello Rho Shinn here. I just wanted to give you and up date. My Saber from the other guys arrived on January 19, 2017. Now that it has sound I have discovered that I would like to upgrade it because it is not as loud as the ones from Ultra Sabers.

those are the words of a very happy customer. it also sounds like you weren't quite happy with the purchase from the other guys. trust me the exciting feeling of unboxing and messing around with an ultrasaber never goes away. anyways, welcome to the ultrasabers family and welcome to the forum hope you will purchase more in the future. happy sabering

Very cool review. I have never seen a Consular staff, but I can only imagine how awesome it is. I'm glad you are enjoying the sabers. Which colors did you get them in?

I took sage advice of MavRick "The Wise" and just picked up another Ultra Saber. It was a lot less stressful. But I decided that I could use a long term project. I am going to gut that saber from the Other Guys get a few new parts made for it and learn how to do wiring and installs. The purchase of the saber was a "learning experience" for me as I learned the saber market. I do not see why I cannot continue to learn from it as I learn how to build sabers of my own. If I would have known any better I just would have started with an Ultra Saber. Live and Learn!!!
FYI: I thought I might post a pics of my Consular Saber Staff but it will be a little while as I deal with this thing called life! I will get those pics post as soon as I have some time.

Congrats on ordering you next Ultra Saber. Glad I could help with the advice. Now, if you don't mind me asking, what saber and options did you get? We all like to get the details.

@MavRick Yeah I know how you guys are and I would not leave you hanging. I just got the new saber on Tuesday. I lay out all the dirt in my other review. Look for the title "Valentines Day with Archon"! I give the full story.
