I love this saber.  Now I just need to save some money and get the next version.

I got the same thing from grab bag. I'm going to trick mine out...

Got the same as my Buddy's second saber, but in AB. He tricked it out beyond insanity. Hopefully I can grab some pics of it tonight to share with you all.

BTW, is the emitter on that sucker SICK or what?

I saw your video this morning.  I got a great chuckle that we both got the same saber at nearly the same time.  I would love to see videos and pics of modifications.  I also found it interesting that the PVC/Metal hilt option has disappeared from the Grab Bag options.  I guess this means that you and I got the last of the PVC sabers and what a way to go than with the Archon. 

Now I am working overtime to earn some extra cash to get the V2 version of this saber.  I am very impressed with its feel and the brightness of the blade is unbelieveable.  My wife (not a Star Wars fan) was actually caught this morning doing some practice swings with it.  At this rate, I may lose my Christmas present to my wife.

Thanks! I'm sure you'll like his mods, he did an AWESOME paint and weathering job, and then clear coated it with Enamel and sunbaked it. Gave it kind of a Clone Wars look that's really nice. Really? Interesting to hear that, I almost wanted to get an Archon V1 for myself. Startling to hear they might finally have run out of PVC hilts! I guess these really ARE historic now, the last of the old soldiers.

As for the V2... I've just finished mods to one that will be my Sis's X-Mas gift, and I have to say it's one of the last Ultrasabers on my to get list. I love the hilt, it makes a great off or main hand weapon with superb balance, and the number of mods you can do to it with MHS parts is ASTOUNDING! And it holds good balance with most of them! Nothing has made me feel more Original Trilogy as yet. Not even my Prophecy! lol
