I know I said it in the video, but I'm very pleased with the saber.  One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that the USB connection is mini-USB.  After spending so much time with cell phones and other electronics I simply assumed it would be micro-USB.  Not US's fault, so I'm not upset, but it was a small surprise.

I ordered a similar combo for my first saber with sound! It was the Dark version with the Dark Catalyst pommel. I also ordered a custom Emerald Green color. Can't wait to get it! Thanks for the informative review!

Excellent job on going from a script.  I recommend that to many people.  Helps keep you from rambling off topic too much.  

Catalyst pommel is a great choice as well.  Definitely looks like it belongs there. Looks like it gives you a little extra length as well.

On dueling, you'll get better especially if you watch some of the Master's videos on here.

Welcome to the addiction.  We all want to buy the next one when the first one arrives.

Very nice review! I especially liked how detailed you were in explaining what your saber, but kept everything concise, a script is a good idea!

Lot's of good information in your video. Maybe I just missed it but what size blade did you go with? Just curious. Dark Side point to you.

Thank you sir.  I went with the Standard 32" blade.  I just felt that the Initiate blade would be too short since I'm 6'4".

Ok sweet! I'm 6'3" and ordered 32" blades on my phantom initiate. I kind of felt the same way, that if they were apart the 24" blades would look silly for me. I feel good about that decision now.

Nice Sith saber. I might get a Sith saber next but going for a Violet Amethyst blade instead of Blazing Red. Something different.

Yea I went with the BR since it's the most well known, and I wanted something easily recognizable.  After that though, I'm leaning towards VA, DVA, AS, or possibly PO for my next big saber purchase.
