Yeah, FO is a really underrated color. It looks fantastic! I really need to rip that POS Econo board back out of my Prophecy so I can start running the color again. That saber was a blast with the Econo sound and flicker effects, but it just never works. Too fragile. I think I've only managed to swap batteries without breaking it somehow twice. lol Just not enough space, and selling it to buy a V3 CE (whenever they come out) with all the bells and whistles just doesn't make much financial sense to me.
At the very least keep the old one (since it's your baby!) and think about saving up for the V3 version down the road. The V3 edition really is excellent... I actually find it superior to the V2. |

I'll admit, I want a V3... I love those bells and whistles, but I can't justify another duplicate hilt, and even if I could I do have that old plan for a Dark Proph V3 sanded into a Dark LE style with a DVA Blade and Green AV switch. No idea on the FoC color. lol And of course, now it would need recharge as well. I think I've more or less dropped that plan though. As the GF and several others have pointed out, I have plenty of sabers, and another incoming soon. It's likely the Graflex will end out my last real saber purchase, with only an occasional Grab Bag or custom build after that. Because I do want to do another custom build / conversion.  Plus, I'm just a little sentimental. Constance and Toepick were my first Ultras. |

Hi all,
Just wanted to let you know that I got an Aeon (v1 I think) on friday. Can't believe it arrived so quick after just ordering it on monday - and I live in the UK - v v impressed!
I ordered a grab bag as I missed out getting a graflex in the sales, had no idea what to get, but really wanted a saber of some form. That morning the grab bags returned so figured that was fate! Ordered one with a mid grade blade but left the choice of colour to the force as I figure on getting a graflex or a guardian in blue in the near future but dodn't have any further preferences.
When it arrived at work I opened it up at my desk with everyone looking on, and I have to admit I was a little disappointed to see it was an older, lower rate saber through the bubble wrap (considering I would have saved myself $1 had I ordered it outright rather than as a grab bag). However as soon as I turned it on I was very happy! I've not owned a saber before, so the feel of it, the weight of it and the general look of it was new to me and I couldn't have been more pleased.
This will not be the last lightsaber I purchase from Ultrasabers, and the way in which the business cards left my desk within minutes, and the amount of people I've talked to about it I'm fairly certain that there will be a few more sabers winging their way to Belfast in the near future. Personally I am looking to save up for a Guardian with sound and a Guardian blue UltraEdge blade and silver FoC and a blue illuminated AV switch. In the meantime I will happily while away the hours with my Aeon and try and learn a few techniques.
Scram
I will post pics as soon as I've worked out how to.
Thanks

Hi again, I think I found out how to do it, although to be honest the pics were probably not worth the effort I spent trying to work it out I'm afraid. Anyway - Here is my very first Lightsaber - my Aeon with Consular Green:   Scram |

I was never sure of a green saber to be honest unless it was on a Qui-Gon type hilt, but I was just really taken back by how good it looks. I love the way it comes out so bright on the pictures - and that was striaght out og the box without having to chnage the batteries. It's definitely changed my thoughts about Green sabers, and made me hunger for more products from Ultrasabers! |

Yep, that's an Aeon V2 (there was no V1). A point for you.

Very nice! I have the same saber, only not out of a grab bag, very happy with the hilt, I like how thin it is, although mine is modified a bit now!
