Mystery boxes are a lot of fun. It’s what got me into this hobby—and you’ll also get the story and never before seen footage of the journey which landed me at Ultrasabers!

The Facebook saber, classic. But congrats on your MB, looks great!

TX...had that footage sitting around since last year. I was going to just delete it at one point, but it did lead me here. So I resurrected it to try to add a secondary story to the unboxing |

Great video SD! The Initiate V4 is a great pull, especially with windows and an AV switch. :-) Much better than your 'facebook' saber! Did that thing even light up?

The FB saber did light up when I put batteries in. But there was no sound—even though it looked like there was a speaker. Like I said in the vid, they not only sent me a dollar store toy, but a BROKEN toy. No sound, blade bent to fit inside the plastic mailer. And they had the nerve to ask me to mail it back to them before they would issue a refund. Fun times for sure  |

At first I didn't like the Initiate v4. But after awhile it grew on me, and now I love mine. It is such a versatile hilt, the perfect canvas for customization, so very comfortable to hold, and the size lends itself to easily carrying it wherever you want to go.

Edon, I agree. I really love how adaptable it is. It took to the new pommel like it was made for it. The more I see and handle the sabers from US base line, the more I’ve come to enjoy them. There’s a sentinel on my bucket list in the not too distant future and a dark standard. The one with the vertical silver lines is really growing on me. Something very sleek about the slanted emitter and those silver accents!

Hi SD, I recently saw your video on YT, very nicely done. Unfortunate that you had to go through that experience with the (insert expletive) of a person selling those knockoffs on FB. At least you now have a real nice Ultrasaber! And as you have a liking for the Standard Battle Issue and slanted emitters, I thought you might like this pic...  The gold version isn't available of course, I just modelled this in Blender 3D, but we can all dream! Thanks for the review. point on it's way. |

OMG...that gold one looks so amazing. I would love US to do some black and gold versions of their sabers. My favorite color scheme. You are certainly making me want that dark standard even more |

Great MB pull you have there. I liked it originally but your upgrades including the MHS pommel and the red o-rings really made the saber your own. Also, I embedded the video for you, StoryDetective  |

You are certainly making me want that dark standard even more Hello again, thanks for the kind words, for some reason the black on gold version I mocked up looked better than the regular DSI (the silver accent lines look jagged compared to the ones on the gold hilt). I just hope I haven't done any serious damage to your wallet! |

Hehe...FT, my wallet is currently broken. But this saber is very much on my future list. Has been for a while, but the pull of the dark side grows stronger!!!
Infinit01...how did you get the vid to show. I tried, but it wasn’t working like the FB links used to.
