Yes this would be good as I have boxes of spare blades and would appreciate the price reduction to spend on other options like switch upgrades

I agree with the no blade option too. Good idea.

I'm thirded on an Obi-wan Revenge and Hope lightsabers for sure  Like give different finish options/looks and stuff. Clean, first time weathered finish but if you go weathered you get the classic d-ring set up vs clean you get covertech wheel set up and shinier thin neck and maybe first time tac switch set up too under the box card? I'm thinking a modified Archon would be fine, given how closely the Luke and Obi-Wan sabers are. A simple black anadized grenade grip on the Archon would be enough for me. |

I think different grip options would be cool. Knurled, grenade, etc.

reaper is a ballpark of it's own when you want to take the blade off. |

Other than a slimmer guardian hilt............................
The no-blade option is a nice idea. Also, if 18650 battery to replace the stunt 4-AAA pack would be a nice option. I know it's possible, there's many videos showing how to convert stunt sabers. Replacing the 2-14500's with 1-18650 is more work since a dc up-converter board would be needed to change the voltage from 3.7v to 7.4v which is needed for Emerald LED driver card, obsidian cards and Diamond cards.
Now, to go wild. I believe in the 400+ pages in this thread there was mention of neo-pixel blades wanted, but I don't have the time to find it. Wiring schematics are available and it's not a huge stretch to look into the ability for UltraSabers to make neo- pixel lightsabers. Cost would probably increase by $100 or more per saber though and it would be a major change from the LED emitters currently in use.

With neoliberal blades, you’ll need the driver to power the blade as well so it’ll cost quite more. I think it’s a good idea for a future option, although it’s not for me. |

I always like the idea of more options. But I think part of what makes the current US setup so great is the fact that I can cut my blade to whatever length I want, break it and replace it for a fairly small fee. And aside from the cost, I'm not sure I would like the extra blade weight of a NeoPixel. Still more options is rarely a bad thing in my opinion.

I tested a buddy’s saber with neopixel and his saber drained the battery life out rather quickly.

Neopixel would be cool as an option for those who want it but not be the standard so those who don't can still get in hilt LEDs. Just have it added to the buffet of options would be nice. The thing is that US markets themselves as combat ready and from what I see neopixel are getting better but still only for medium dueling also it would increase lead times which is also one of US competitive advantages.

Not sure if this has been covered before. However, after watching Batmike90’s video about his Archon and his customizations, I’m wondering if US has thought about making a clamp with a card for the Archon. I’m thinking a removable accessory would not only look great in terms of US eye for detail, but something that was removable that could dress up a number of sabers. And if it were removable (MHS), it wouldn’t get in the way of using the sabers for dueling, spinning, etc...
It’s also a feature no one the Obi Wan/Luke skinny neck saber has and I think would be a huge stand out feature. And as collectors, we could have our cake and eat it as well in terms of having that choice of cosmetic features as well as combat comfort. And being MHS compatible, could be used on other sabers, so I think US could sell a fair amount of these things all on their own.

Hi, in terms of a wish-list, I definitely like the new Spectre hilt model, and would like to see a future version release where the black body engraving is replaced with a crimson red and / or a azure blue and / or purple and / or green body surface engraving. The demand may not be available for that but it would make some fine additions to my collection  |
