Found my unboxing video from March, of the Dark Graflex, Graflex CE and an Aeon v4 stunt. It's 1GB in file size, so it would take a bit for me to edit and then upload to you tube. No voice on it (was before I broke thru the 4th wall and decided I didn't sound like an idiot on video).
When I first watched Star Wars, I was hooked on lightsabers. The Graflex was the first one I ever saw. It's also, now that i'm old and grey, the one I have the most copies of, from various makers and sellers. Something like 10 total.
What I like about it? Hmm, it's a Graflex, only anodized black. Since I have it with diamond controller, I can do any color and any sounds I want. Mine did have a scratch on it, but that's the price of life with anodized hilts. I had tried to cover it over, but I did a bad job, so I decided to give it my own flair and added gold to many of the parts.
Before pictures:
Here's one with the scratch:
Now, here's the after, with my gold paint added:
Overall, I do love the look of the hilt. The hard plastic on the grips does make it tougher to weild, but the activation box is positioned correctly for me, because i'm left handed. My thumb rests on the switch box so it's easy to keep the saber oriented.
