I had bought a mystery box a little more then a month ago with two friends and got the dark standard issue with a guardian blue LED. It was excellent quality and a great first taste of what Ultrasabers has to offer. I was hungry for more and bought an Aeon V5 during the flash sale in consular green. The spikes were an issue as has been expressed a lot but flipping the spikes over was a quick and easy fix and his given me problems since. My friends were concerned at how it knicked their blades during combat...but there's a reason we got combat blades so that's not an issue. After receiving my Aeon I was determined to get a saber with sound, preferably emerald so I could change the colors and have the flashing. And then like an answer from God himself, the Bellicose, my favorite looking hilt on Ultrasabers, goes on flash sale. I am incredibly impressed with the slick and detailed design. I truly looks like a canon movie lightsaber yet seems unique enough in its own right to be an original design. The price point and the customization options make this a great saber if you are looking for your first saber with sound. This lightsaber handles greatly and its smooth profile and excellent grooves make it very easy to hold and duel with, yet it is pretty and detailed enough to have as a cosplay piece and will look fantastic on display. I love the emerald driver and the ability to set the pulse, clash, and flash to literally any color I can imagine gives me all the freedom to be jedi, sith, or somewhere in between. The 7 pre-installed sound fonts all sound great, and the v4 soundboard is very intuitive and easy to use making adding new soundfonts or creating entirely unique ones very easy. While I will not count out some of the smaller "other guys" when it comes to my saber collection, Ultrasabers will always have my patronage and the majority of my sabers will come from them. You can't argue with the quality, price point, and durability of their sabers.

Both sides of the force are ruled by extremes, and no extreme is ever wholly correct.
Only those that can claim control over every aspect of the force can declare true mastery. I do not believe in good or evil, I believe in balance.
That, is why I am a grey jedi.

The Bellicose in Emerald was my first saber and still holds the center position of my main US rack. Not my favorite for dueling because the blade holder does have a tendency to come loose after a couple of rounds of sparring. It is its own unique design and just stands out. Very truthful statement about US as well. My loyalty has paid off and I only have a couple non US hilts. Point indeed. And yes pics please.

Pics and some dueling vids should come tonight. I will also be going over the configuration I have on, issues I've encountered, and steps I took to fix them. I've been really busy with my job and haven't found time to upload but I promise tonight you'll all get something!
