HI, I'm completely new here and only found out about this a few days ago but I'm quite interested.
I've been wanting to get a lightsaber from Ultrasaber for a while now, thing is I don't have a very large budget ($100-150). I was at first thinking I'd just get the Apprentice hilt and go minimal on it (I also want to dabble in dueling a bit so that's an extra $10 for a Heavy-Grade blade) but then I found out about the mystery box and grab bag and I'm having a hard time making a choice.
I'm somewhat leaning more to the grab bag over the mystery box (custom colour) but otherwise i'm not sure. I've also thought about maybe getting a double bladed saber, but it seems a bit expensive for my budget. so what shoulld I get? should I get the grab bag or get a custom hilt, or should i try to get a double saber? I'm not sure so any help would be beneficial. what would you suggest?
Have a good day

Hello, Morgor! Welcome to the forum! All of your options have various pros and cons, I want to pick them apart individually.
Grab Bag. I find this option kinda useless, but to each his own. I think that choosing a colour is useless if you don't know your hilt type and colour. Might as well go for a full custom. And you also get it with a guarded switch with almost 100% certainty, so that's not great in my opinion as well.
Mystery Box. I'd prefer this, because you can get something way cooler than you paid for, you don't need to worry about choosing anything or paying for little extras like AV switch, which can be great for someone on a tight budget like you or me.
Double-Bladed Saber. This can be a great option if you want to do some advanced spinning or have a friend with which to duel with, but otherwise not really the best beginner's choice, if you ask me.
In your place(assuming shipping is not expensive where you live), I'd rather save up a bit get a $200 Mystery Box, since you'll get it with guaranteed sound, and possibly save even more by getting something cool.
Keep in mind that this is my opinion, your opinion may differ from mine. Just wanted to give you some food for thought.
