Want to See Saber in Person prior to Buying...

[WifetoChickenBones]

I realize that this is a long-shot, but...

I recently purchased three "Black Series" Hasbro sabers for my husband.

This led him to do some research and came upon Ultra Sabers.  He is very interested in purchasing two Ultra Sabers (one for he, one for I,) for dueling purposes.

He was all set to pull the trigger and then began second-guessing himself.  He feels that the. Right was isn't na cessation as great as they seem in some of the video / pictures.

So, i told him... "Why not see if someone, within a reasonable driving distance, would be willing to meet up and give you a demonstration?"

Again, I realize it's a long shot but figured I would ask.  We are in Central California.

Thank you, in advance!

All sabers have that movie like glow on camera and in videos, even the FX lightsabers but more so with the in hilt led type lightsabers. you guys wont be disappointed though especially if you go with the tri-cree led set up or any of the Violet Amethyst colors. I want some of the new Black Series FX lightsabers myself as well I have an OLD 05 MR Anakin ROTS, Obi-wan and Darth Vader ANH removable blade FX sabers so far

I apologize for the errors in my post... I can't seem to find a way to edit the original post.  What I meant to say was, "He fears that the brightness isn't going to be as impressive, in real life, as depicted in some of the userr's
Photos and videos."

I can't help you because I live in AZ, however I first came upon Ultra Sabers at Phoenix ComicCon last year.  While my friend was purchasing her saber, I was pulling out the ones pre set up and playing around with a few of the hilts.  At the time, as a non-fan, I fell in love with one specific hilt but I didn't think it was worth buying because I hadn't seen any films. About three months alter, I joined the local saber stunt group to further my work in stunts and choreography and after the first night of practice, I was back on the site checking out sabers.  The second I saw that hilt scrolling through I remembered it and purchased it.  But I would have second guessed it, for sure, if I hadn't played with it at PCC.  So if possible, I would suggest finding a convention that US will be at and looking at all of their options.

Hey there. Welcome to SaberForum. Ultra Sabers will be attending WonderCon in Anaheim, CA Mar. 31st-Apr 2nd, so if you can get there, you can check out just about everything they have. I tried them out and purchased my first one at our local comic con, too. I'm sure that means about a 3-4 hour drive for you, but I think it's worth it if you really want to experience them in person before buying, not to mention that you'll be able to talk face to face with Ultra Sabers staff there. I haven't met a person yet who hasn't been thoroughly impressed by Ultra Sabers Sabers as a company who RULES in customer service as well as the Sabers they make. Their regular LEDs are already very bright, and the Tri Cree versions are 20-30% brighter still. You can also buy one of their grab bag sabers for $55 plus $15 for the blade if you want an inexpensive way to try one out before investing $200-$300 in one - just another option to consider.

Here's the link to the Wonder Con page:

There's a bit of a comparison of brightness lol.  I know there's different lighting and contrast but that doesn't change the fact an US shows up on camera in a lit room and the hasbro saber does not.
