It's all about the Benjamins, and I don't have many, but ideally, I want a Manticore CE in SY with Obsidian for Emerald, FoC orange.

I learned a very important lesson yesterday, in that you should never think out loud about your saber buying ideas in front of your mother. I received (yet again) a very stern speech about how I am “an adult,” and a “young lady,” and that I should “act your age,” and that I had “no business buying that Thor action figure yesterday and you will not be buying a $300 toy! You will use that money for something else when you need it.”
To tell you the truth right now I only want three sabers; a Initiate V4 LE, a Shock LE, and a Shock. At first I just wanted a Shock LE with a Manticore emitter and different pommel (don’t know which; just not that one). Then I thought about a Shock and customizing the crap out of it with paint, o-rings, and parts from “the other guys.” And then I saw the Dark Initiate V4 show up on the forum. My first thought was “If that’s the new saber everyone is hinting at and it comes in a plain LE; I NEED THAT.”
That’s the one I want to buy; I even showed it to my mother to prove that I wasn’t buying something I’d break in two minutes. “I said, NO.” In the grand scheme of things that’s not as much money as many of the people on the forum have spent on sabers. I know my mother is older but, why does she have to be so old fashioned? And why do I have to be the good child that listens to my parents no matter how old I am?

Um... how old are you?
Don’t you know that it’s rude to ask that to a lady? I am older than you think; I’m older than anyone thinks. Seriously, I say something relatively intelligent, and people ask in the “awe that’s so cute” tone, “What grade are you in?” “I am in graduate school.” “Wait…what?” As for my mother she is nearly 70 years old and has not been well. I’ve spent a good portion of my life babysitting HER. I spend my breaks with my parents in case she needs help with something. I tend to humor her in most things. However, I still get small things when I can, like my Darth Vader action figure, my above said Thor action figure, or my small Zaku collection, and so on.

“I am in graduate school.”
“Wait…what?”

I tend to humor her in most things. However, I still get small things when I can, like my Darth Vader action figure, my above said Thor action figure, or my small Zaku collection, and so on. The reason I ask was not out of idle curiosity. If you are above the age of majority for whatever country you happen to live in, then you have zero reason to have your mother attempt to run your life in such a manner. I understand that she's 70 and that you're trying to humor her, but for her to pull the "I said NO" bit as if you were a twelve year old asking to stay up past your bedtime is ridiculous and smacks of a lady who is unable or unwilling to see that their child is a grown adult. Of course, I could be completely misreading the situation...

I got your back Lady M. It doesn't matter what country you're in. My parents intro-ed me to SW, and they still don't get why I want multiple sabers. By-and-large parents just don't get it. And anyone that doesn't have the incling to buy one, won't get our justifications. And they don't need to. I guess they just fear that we're spending money that needs to go toward other things. They nag cuz they care.

I am in my twenties and I have a big bin of legos, 2 ultrasabers (and more soon, but it is hard to get more sabers when you have a couple expensive hobbies), and I play table top games as often as I can. If you are an adult you can do what you bloody well like. . . within the confines of state and federal law of course. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________ these sounds so awesome I thought that I would stick them here.

I'll turn 40 in March, my wife is *ahem* celebrating the 27th anniversary of her 21st Birthday in a month. We both game together (tabletop and online), she's more into Star Trek than Star Wars (it's ok, she's forgiven,) we go to sci-fi conventions and comicons together, we both still watch cartoons. For our first Valentine's Day together 15 years ago, I gave her a United Cutlery Klingon D'k Tahg. She bought me my UltraSabers. We can spend as much time in toy stores looking at collectibles as comic shops and gaming shops. Our oldest daughter is 22 next month (the kids came with the "I Do") and will be moving out, our middle daughter is almost 20, married, and will be moving to Fort Drumm in New York with her husband for his next four years in the Army. Our youngest is 17 and graduating high school this coming year, he plans to join the military... so we're on the verge of being complete empty nesters... we're hoping this means extra money freed up from the budget to channel back into hobbies such as costuming, LARPing, gaming, etc.
