Hey guys, I was lucky enough to get a raffle saber! All sabers are red.
Here's my review of that raffle saber, and the two sabers I ordered (separately).
Image 1: Angle 1
Image 2: Angle 2
Image 3: All on
First saber I got was the Bellicose (with sound (Obsidian V4), Emerald, heavy grade blade, blazing red, 36"). I liked the feeling of it, good quality & nice and heavy feel to it. Balanced well too (it's the top saber).
Took it apart to see what was inside, got it all back together and it still works like a dream. It looks AWESOME at night, even through the heavy grade blade.
In sunlight, you can see the edges of the blade. It looks pretty cool, but it's not the same as the raffle saber which looks great in sunlight too.
It's slightly less bright than the raffle saber, but that's not really an issue.
As for the sound, some of them are not to my liking, but the episode 1/2? and the sith saber (not ancient) sound presets are pretty good for a sith/red lightsaber (completely subjective).
No matter which one you take, sound quality is great. Selecting them is a bit cringeworthy to do, as some presets shout out their name 'movie announcer'-style (luckily not done often).
I've yet to test the Emerald driver's capabilities. Both Emerald sabers have a charging port, which is great! The other one has internal batteries, which you can change/charge by unscrewing the bottom of the hilt.
The other one is the Consular (with sound (Obsidian V4), Emerald, heavy grade blade, blazing red, 32"). Same quality & style as the Bellicose, balancing is still good even with a slightly smaller blade.
The raffle saber is the Dark Liberator v3 (no sound, normal blade, red).
I didn't dare smack this one around, didn't want to break it! Used to heavy grade, so I'll have to be careful!
It looks great in sunlight, as opposed to the heavy grade (where you can easily see the edges).
I smacked around the two heavy grade sabers with my neighbour, they can take a beating.
You can see scratches on the blade, but it's not affected how cool it looks - even if you can see them at night, too.
This has been my triple review! I'm thinking of getting another two sabers, but I'm not yet sure which ones.
Definitely ordering here again! If you guys want more info/more
Cheers,
Saquith/Roeland
