Great color combo on that Princess, I got the VA on my Dark Princess but I like that gold/violet combo!

I was debating on getting the dark hilt, but something about the gold just seemed right.  Either way, the construction of the hilt itself is really fine, whatever color you pick.

Those are some great choices! Waiting until Christmas is going to be tough! But if you need one more excuse to check them out, since you’ll be waiting 3 months until you get to play with them, take out the batteries with anything that has sound. Sound sabers will drain your batteries. And recharagable batteries shouldn’t sit that long in the saber when not in use. Also, lithium Ion batteries retain their life best if you charge them regularly—like once every month or so. They won’t fade a whole lot of you take them out of the saber, but still may want to give them a charge before Christmas—just because 3 months is a while—and they’ll be ready to go Smiley

Way ahead of you, my friend; I took the batteries out of all the sabers when I was done making the video.   I plan on setting it all back up and charging them up a few days before Christmas, that way they'll be ready to go.

Sounds good! Since you said it was your first unboxing I figured i would mention it just in case. BTW, did you pay extra for sound in the Frankensaber, or just got lucky? I haven’t seen a lot of folks get sound in those. It’s a great saber regardless.

I did have to pay extra for the sound, recharge port with cable, the illuminated switch, and flash on clash, although I did not specify the color.  Luckily it was just a matter of a few back-n-forth emails, and they explained the payment process to me, it was pretty simple.   The only reason I did it was because it was a Frankensaber, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to jazz it up even more.  The end result speaks for itself.

I wasn’t thinking when I got my Frankensaber, and I ended up sending it back in to have it upgraded with Diamond sound/color, recharge port, Covertec wheel, and illuminated AV switch, and the cost difference in sending it back convinced me that if I ever win another Frankensaber, I will get it upgraded before they ship it to me.  I’m VERY happy to have it upgraded, but I could have saved the disassembly/reassembly fee and the round-trip shipping costs by getting the upgrades done before I ever held it.

Having said that, I needed to wait THIS time because of several factors, including the simple fact that I didn’t know I WANTED any upgrades.

Not to mention the wait time to get it back after you ship it out to the company, and hoping nothing happens in transit...better to get it done ahead of time, if possible.

Oh, yeah!  I had the thing insured for $700 when I shipped it, simply because it’s unique and irreplaceable.

Been rewatching my video; that Frankensaber is definitely a two-hander.  No whirling or twirling with that one, that's a William Wallace bulldozer.    Cheesy

Salutations, friends and neighbors.....

Oh how eagerly I've been waiting to start this thread....so my plan is, whenever I get an order from Ultrasabers, this is where I'll post my videos and photos.  And what better way to kick it off than with my very first unboxing video.  Pictures will be posted separately.

Full disclosure....you'll hear it in this video, but the second I picked up that first saber for the first time, the kid in me came right out, I couldn't help myself.  And my mother, who was with me watching (she's not on camera but you'll hear her at times), she got as into it as I did.  We had a great time.  This was all absolutely worth the wait.

Okay, enough rambling.....click this Vimeo link (hopefully it works...) and enjoy.    Cool

https://vimeo.com/439950116

Dude! Seriously cool Frankensaber!! I didn't realized I could opt for upgrades on it, I'll have to email US myself. Gotta have sound on it!

Great minds think alike; I had two Fallen LEs in my cart before I decided to make the switch to the Spectre.  Great haul, man. Congrats!

Oh, if you saw the video, then you know how i feel about the Fallen.  I HIGHLY recommend that as a future purchase.

As for upgrading the Frankensaber; when you email them, include your order number in the subject line and mention it right there, "Frankensaber upgrading"  Good luck, hope everything goes smoothly.
