This venture started with my autistic daughter (14) who loves sabers. She has been collecting sabers for a year now starting with lower cost plastic ones. She wanted an Ultrasaber for her bday and I told her it will take till after her birthday to get it but agreed to get her one. My youngest son (17) wanted one for his bday too and he saved up to add the extra so he can have a saber staff. With the big winter raffle sale I ordered one for me too. We all got stunt sabers, Dark apprentice le v4 for my daughter, Dark apprentice v4 staff with quick release for my son, and for me initiate le v4. We do love saber sparing and this will be amazing for that. Now to just patiently wait impatiently for the 3 to 4 week assembly time and shipping time.

That is the same saberstaff I have, I love it. Good choices all around. I do hope you are all well pleased with them when you receive them.

I suppose all you may have required was a coupler for the preexisting lightsabers you had, but I understand wanting to have separate lightsabers for various reasons. That's great/cool. Welcome to the staff wielder's club (metaphorically I don't think there is an actual one per se), it's a crazy good time handling one IMO . That's part of why I could see a 17 yr old enjoying it, I know I would have at that age. I used my collapsible plastic Maul version till it was no more. It's just such a different dynamic of movement/attacks that are a bit thrilling. Guess the young man has the unique opportunity to be able to even try dealing with 2 separate targets at once on a semi regular basis in true Episode 1 style. If carried out safely that'd be great to learn serious defense, where your openings are, and all about proper movement. |

Well with the fact that I studied many fighting styles from fencing to kendo as well as staff and stick forms my kids have learned from me. Needles to say we have killed a few plastic sabers. We should have this set of sabers in hand for the start of good out door weather.

You all are going to have a great time. You got the best of US dueling sabers. The peaked at the v4s. The details make them look more "ooh lightsaber" than the v2 or v3 and they have excellent grip space without the protrusions or extra long windows of the v5.
I use Aeon LE v4s and Sentinel LE v4 staff for heavy dueling and am better equipped than whatever other sabers I come up against.
Plus if you ever want to the are easy to upgrade/ add to due to the MHS compatible pommel. After those plastic sabers welcome to the big leagues.

I have to say Ultrasabers was quick to let me know about some shortages and offer options to get sabers to me. They also quickly got the adjusted order out hella fast. Erin is a great cs rep, even with the shortages hiccups I am 100% satisfied with how my order was handled. I am very likely to to shop with Ultrasabers again.

I'm quite curious what changes were made; and if it's still an order in the works, is on its way to you, or already arrived? I'm glad you've had a rather pleasant experience!
I've been having a bit more pure spinning fun (as of late) with my lightsabers and getting really familiar with the various grip/choke points on each model. It's too much fun for sure.

Interesting, and awesome to hear. I do hope they satisfy expectations upon arrival, and it's also good to hear they're likely to arrive "soon". It's always fun opening up the box/receiving new ones. If we're lucky you'll manage to post some pictures of them once you get them unpackaged. We all do love a good lightsaber pic around here. Plus this may be an exciting turn of events since the weather near you may be getting a bit nicer meaning some outdoors "field testing" of the new acquisitions. |

I for sure love the windowed emitter especially on my V5, but I'm a sucker for windowed emitters in general. They are probably one of my favorite features hands down. And I'm excited for all of you, kids are probably bouncing off the walls... especially the younger one since it's a late b-day present. That 1st "higher grade" lightsaber is a treat for sure. I finally got rechargeable batteries in all of mine, and so they get used like crazy now. |
