Here's my review on my Manticore. I love this saber.

Good job on that review! I have the Manticore CE, but no argument there that the regular Manticore is such a handsome looking saber and sure makes me want one. I particularly thought the quick demo on the quick disconnect LED modules was helpful as I can't recall seeing it done on camera like that by other reviews so nice touch there.  And, of course, nice choice on the VA as a blade color. Love that. Since you have QD I would recommend you try a TRI Cree Fire Orange.  It's like the SUN!   Cool

Quick tip: you can directly embed YouTube videos by pasting the public URL (the one you see in the address bar of your browser when you play it that ends in ".com" rather than ".be") and remove the "s" from https or just paste it starting at www.  For your video it would look like this in your post:

Sith point to you!

Very nice. Sounds sick with that classic Sith sound too. Loos much better in Blazing Red though Tongue Would've loved to see both colors with a blade in though

Lord Bladewraith - I normally just put the Hyperlink due to the fact that some people can't see the direct link if they're on a phone like me. I'm a Sith so the CE doesn't fit with it being all silver. Honestly my dream saber is a Dark Manticore. I included the Quick Disconnect cause I never saw it in a review ether and feel like that's kinda a marketing seller. I'm not a fan of Orange. My next color might be Bane's Heart.

Zren Tobas - Ask and you shall receive. They were taken with my phone but the vid was done on my GoPro. Also nailed the soundfont perfect. I love it in both VA and BR but as a Sith it'll be BR for now.

Makes sense.  Some don't realize about embedding YouTube so I figure it doesn't hurt to mention it.

Here's a picture of my Manticore CE with the Nickel finish in Bane's Heart (the color it shipped with) and a red illuminated AV switch...
