I received my latest saber purchase today.
An ANAKIN ROTS STUNT by my best saberfriends at Ultrasabers. It is absolutely a gorgeous saber and already my favourite belt hanger.
The color i selected was Arctic Blue since i didn't own that color yet and my mouse accidentaly stopped on that color while i was selecting colors for my order (the Force maybe?). The Arctic Blue was green when my saber arrived but that was easily solved with some sparkling new batteries. Damn that thing is bright. It lights the 36" ultraedge blade nice and even. Though i might cut down the blade a bit because of my short stature. 32" suits me as perfect and i keep hitting things with a longer blade.
The saber itself has a nice wheight to it and the shiney hilt really makes this an eye catcher. It is beautiful in both its wheight and size. I was at first a bit scared that it wouldn't be a nice hilt to duel with but i was relieved when i was proven wrong. The copper button on the back is exactly where the space between my index finger and thumb is and my little finger barely touches the controll box when i wrap my hand around the hilt. The hard rubber t-track grips ensure a great grip for the secundary hand and the covertec wheel doesn't get in the way while dueling and spinning.
Here are some pics.

A nice pic of the light coming from behind some greebles. (like neon, i love it)
Since i own a graflex unit i thought it would be fun to do a quick comparison.
So here are the emitters
The control/activation boxes
The mid sections
and finally the 2 of the most precious items in my collection
So overall I just love this saber. I ordered it as soon as it was available and i haven't been so hyped on a saber before.
verdict:
5/5
Special thanks to the guys at Ultrasabers for their patience and time with me. It has been a bumpy ride with this order but i am so glad its finally here.
