Hi All,
Just got my first ever lightsaber. Very impressed with the quality and the speed it made it to the UK in especially over the New Year.
As im new to the scene I thought it would be good to say hello.
So greetings from England and if anybody has any advice or tips for the newbie here id be glad to read them.
Cheers

Welcome! People around here are always curious about each other's sabers, and especially appreciate photographs if you can manage them. Please feel free to share some more information about your lightsaber and what got you interested in buying one.

Welcome to the forum, bryn! There's quite a few members on here from overseas and I agree, the amount of time they ship overseas is quite impressive

I got myself an Initiate V3 with sound and diamond controller, extra long mid grade blade, only going to be using it for play fighting with son, fancy dress and display.
Still trying to work out the ins and outs of the launcher program lol.
As I said the guys at ultrasabers were fast, just over a week from order to it being in my hand.
As I’m that impressed with the quality of this one I’ll deffo save up for one of the top shelf models

Congrats on the Initiate V3, they're beautiful and are MHS compatible which means that they also work with V4 and V5 saber pommels

Thanks Infinit01, I’m thinking about getting more add on’s and such but don’t fully understand this modular hilt system, is it just unique to ultrasabers or do other Saber builders use same system and measurements ? Just thinking about cost shipping from US to UK.
I’m really chuffed with my initiate v3, wasn’t sure what to expect being a first time buyer but I’m glad to say these guys don’t disappoint and the quality is just superb. Even my housemate who isn’t a big sci-fi fan said it was remarkable and made him feel like he had the real deal in his hand.

Hello and welcome to the forum. There are many awesome sabers to choose from. If I may suggest, make a wishlist for yourself. Putting together a few sabers, your way, will give you a feel what you're looking for. And...it's just plain old fun to do.

Welcome to the forum and the likelyhood of a new addiction. Nice to know that there are more people around here from this side of the ocean.
If your thinking about addons. Consider the weight of the pommels to influence the balance of your saber. Thx to someone on this forum (sorry forgot your name) I got a tip to balance my Aeon v4 with a War Glaive pommel. Great endresult, beautiful balance.
MHS-compatibel isn't unique to US, TCSS uses it as well, but I read past week that the hilts of US are a tiny bit thicker so you get a little lip. I have no personal experience with pommels etc. from TSCC, so maybe anyone else can help you with that.

Greetings bryn85!
I am the resident mad Englishman on the forum and live in The Outer Rim of the UK but don't worry, you don't have to be mad to know me. The members here are the best bunch of saber enthusiasts I have come across and all are willing to help when and where they can.
I hope you enjoy your time here and post pics and maybe videos if you can, we like seeing them all. Hope to chat soon.

Yes blades are included. Work through the ordering process ones so you can see all the different options.
If you then add the order to your chart you can add your country and postalcode to let them calculate the shipping cost.
I'm from the Netherlands, shipping costs start around 75 euro's if I remember correctly. Depending on the weight of your package it'll up from there.

Hi bryn85,
I am also from the UK and order my first UltraSaber earlier this month. Did you get hit with any customs charges?
