Not that you can see it that well (and the saber glow is embellished  ;)) but this is an US Maul conversion.

Grievous Smash!!!

Looks amazing everyone. I hope i will soon be able to post pics of myself in the costume that JdiKnhtJMH is working on.

Haha, Darth Mcdonald.

Hah, yeah, the dark side was very strong with him. Pretty funny experience actually. Got a good picture of some troopers and Vader coming out of a SWAT truck and arresting Han Solo.

AAAGH my camera literally just died, full costume... pics tomorrow :P

I have a few more for this post. One is me, one is not.


This pic here, I just had to share. My heart plummets for Vader in this moment. I can't imagine the loss, and twisted hatred that he feels. Love is a hard one to lose and out of all the people in the galaxy, he probably hates himself the most.

Don't you just want to hug him?

And here's a shot of me to comply with the "You and your saber" rule.

I played around with this old pic and photobucket's edit stuff. That's my old SF saber in my hands, so that places this photo around two years ago. Hope you like my concealing clouds. They keep the sight of my living room at bay.



UPDATE:  PB pic removed.  :)

Nice pictures everyone. I'll get some of me up eventually....

WOW! These pics are INTENSE hahahaha! 

Very niiiiiice

A crappy quality one taken with my crappy webcam! lol.

Santa truly brings out the Jedi in you. Hah, just kidding, cool saber effect there though. Its funny how the lower quality cams bring out the awesomeness of the sabers. My friends camera phone...amazing!!!

I LOVE THIS PIC ITS AMAZING!!!

Thank you. It was a really fun shoot.

I bet!

The North Ridge Fan Force chapter, along with my friend Sandy, from May 2010. We were rehearsing our lightsaber dueling show that we performed for the Buffalo Bisons baseball team at their Star Wars Night in June.

indeed it was. i modded the belt and bought some pants and made the dark leather spats and gloves myself.

i hope to put some pic's on soon but for now i'm still busy with my outfit ;D

Plo Koon & Chuck Norris ?

:)

Chuck Norris doesn't carry a lightsaber. He cuts people with his force, which is greater than -the- force and only usable by him.

Chuck Norris is the force

I disagree... Chuck Norris, Epic though he may be, could still be improved by wielding a lightsaber. Perhaps held in the fist hidden by his beard, lol.

He is actually a good friend of mine, and yes he does have a walker texas ranger costume

plo koon and chuck norris, what a team

Chuck Norris uses light sabers for sword swallowing demonstrations....

Me and my new additions:

I can't figure out how to upload a pic onto here! o.O

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=589.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=589.0)

That picture is a great demonstration of how an ultrasaber is much brighter than an FX one.

very true , i never noticed that before

Quillen is that a home made outfit?
I saw one at costume base that i might wanna save some money for but yours looks awesome as well.
Can you perhaps enlighten me on where you found your costume components? Tunics, belts, pants, boots. I would like to put an Anakin ROTS together to go with my beloved saber.

the outer tunic is made of crinkle cotton and is by a womwn on ebay, so is the inner.  she is great to work with and will do anything you want.  i asked loads of questions before i bought it and was very well priced.  this is my second off her,  pants are straight off the peg at walmart, belt was from ebay and included pouches and food capsules and the boots are anakin skywalker.  i had them custom made and are excellent quality.  they were more expensive than the reat of the costume put together but are well worth it. best advice i can give dont get cheap boots especially if you are dueling in them, in one performance i ripped the sole completely off a pair of cheapies. the mask is a rubies i modified and repainted and the hands are dobbys from harry potter again repainted

if you are interested i will pm the boot maker and tunic makers details to you. i cant remember the seller i bought the belt from but there are ussually plenty of then

hope all that helps
good luck wiyj the costume

sure pm me if you want. I will probably get the belts from costume base. I really want the fabric to look screen accurate so the crinkled cotton sounded good.
Thanks for helping me out.
MTFBWY

I definitely agree with sjorsjo, quillen, I like that costume. I plan to get something similar "thrown" together when money allows. I've already done some research and pretty much know where I'll be getting everything, save the boots.

Raze can you tell me where you will be getting your stuff from?

Give me a bit to get all the info together and I'll PM you. :)

take ya time mate.
in the meantime to stay on topic

well actually it wasnt photoshop he just kept spamming lightning at me

My son...

(http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd406/Rezolution01/1028002100a.jpg)

Way to get 'em started young! Dare I say the boy needs an Ep 1 Padawan Anakin outfit to go with that b-e-a-utiful Prophecy he's holding?

Rez, I think you need to get that boy an initiate.

Well, I was going to get him an initiate for his birthday but my wife just threatened to kill me if I buy any more sabers...  I have to wait a little while, about 6 months, after I get my Anakin on Monday...  HAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

My son is only turning two tomorrow and he really can't lift the Ultrasabers too well.  He has 3 sabers of his own right now, the 2010 Hasbro ones that come with the DVD.  He has a Yoda, a Vader, and an Obi.  He likes to dual wield them LoL.

hmm so you found another sith
now i get the feeling the county is to small to share with a second sith
so i geuss this time i will help you to destroy him
but only so i'm sure i'm the only one thats gonna destroy you mwhaha ;D

Well, I thought I'd just do some mass uploading today... if you count a video and a handful of pics "mass uploading".



UPDATE:  PB pics removed.  :)

pics of me and some of my sabers most are Ultra Sabers my very first saber was a Orange Ultra mod on a Anakin Hilt which I still have today.

Love the emitter on the liberator  :P

This is kind of a repeat post since I already have pictures of the costume in the General Gallery...but here's me with my Aeon, with my fiancee and her Dominix!

This was at Newfoundland's Sci Fi on the Rock convention.  We have people CONSTANTLY walking up to us and asking where we got the sabers.  Folks were really impressed, especially when we explained that they were more durable than the MR's and less expensive.  So, if you're shortly overwhelmed by a buttload of orders coming in from Eastern Canada...yeah, sorry in advance.  xD



UPDATE:  PB pics removed.  :)

I can safely assume your fiancée is wearing a wig right?
Anyway cool pics. I had to miss my local convention because i became ill.
So no pics of me in my costume until i finished the new planned parts.

Vig?  Vig?  Vhat ees thees vig, of vhich you speak?

Sorry.  Got carried away. xD

Too bad about your Con, though...I'd definitely be interested to see the costume once you've got it all done, though.  Do you have a thread open for it under the Gallery?  (I think I've seen yours, if it's the one with the gloves, boots, and belt, but I could be wrong.)

gonna go ty my local convention on Juny :D~
I'll take some pictures as well ^^
but at first.. I have to beat up my sister òo so she gives me the camera..!

joke.. I could and would never beat her up :P

jup thats the one. I will post some progress as sooon as i have some progress to post  :P

well than finaly i got some pic's from my home made costume it was still to bad sjorsjo was't there

and what every sith needs are those.



UPDATE:  PB pics removed.  :)

It's true.  My fiancee, at our Con, used actual Sith eyes and people were AMAZED by it.  Just adding the eyes makes a huge difference.

I scare small children enough as it is.  I don't need the eyes  But they are Cool!

Eh, never wanted em myself. Thought it was too lame when they used em on Anakin in ROTS. lol Maul could do it, Ani was just a fail.

I wouldn't mind seeing what I look like with blues though. lol

They have some neat colors out.  Pure black looks EXTREMELY creepy, especially if you get it as a sclera lens.

I'm with Duff. I scare kids as it is.


Does that cover the whole eye, or just the pupil in black? If it's the whole eye sweet. Supernatural demon eyes!

That's basically what the scleras are...but they get STUPIDLY expensive.  I think the most expensive I've seen was a set based on Chronicles of Riddick.

Sounds awesome. Too bad everything that's cool seems to be expensive....

Ah man! Riddick contacts would be SWEET!!!!

Hey sorry the pics are big but its late and if I need to re size them let me know and ill do it tomorrow...but yeah these are all I could find on my laptop but I know I have more on my main computer. Anyway the first few are of my girlfriend waking up to her twin purple standard issues then some of me back when I had long hair sith like, then me this Christmas sporting the new shirt my girlfriend got me along with half of my phantom V2

The way the red is lighting up your face and reflecting off your nose ring is Sinister man!

The saber pics were sweet an all, seriously, but... man. I want your R2. LOL That's awesome.

More pics just got uploaded from the recent Con and I found something fun.

We lent a couple of our sabers to friends over the weekend and found these pictures from the lightsaber workshop this year.  The Sunrider's Dominix v2 and the Fire Orange Dominix v1 in this pic are both from this year's Con, wielded by a trekkie and Foley, our local Darth Vader:

Credit for the photo goes to Phillippe Enguehard.

As a sidenote, this is the first year that we've seen other people with their own Ultrasabers at the con (instead of just borrowing ours all the time! xD) so it looks like US is spreading.  Keep it up, guys!

I know I may sound a bit tarded... but How do I go about uploading pics to here?

lol, no worries My Brother ;)  Me to lol  :D

Okay, I'll bite....  Not like my identity is a secret on the internet anyway...  LOL....  Its common knowledge that Im a founding member of NYJedi, so you may have seen pics of me already, and never knew...  Heres a recent shot from Wizard World Philly last month...

Right? I couldn't be happier with the sabers... Provided I get some freetime today I'll post a review of this saber.

Can't wait.:)

My Raven's with my Revan's costume.



UPDATE:  PB pics removed.  :)

That is truly an impressive costume.

Absolutely Seconded!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Very Impressive Indeed  :)

@ to Artorius:

Cool pics of you and Nero dueling  8)

:o A M A Z I N G
what else needs to be said? lol

Cool costume.

Thanks I didn't want to show the costume with out my light saber  ;D

dude if i had money id commision you to make me a costume xD

Dude best costume ever. :o Did you base it off of Darth Revan? :D

I think it is a Revan costume.

REVAN!! sick costume. artorius and nero thats a sick pic lol.

Thanks!  We took a whole series of them that night, I guess it was from about a year ago now!  All of them were just as trippy haha, that camera effect makes the moving blade really crazy looking.

i cant tell!  ;)

Ok I figured I may as well contribute to this thread - even though I'm included in Artorius's posts.  This is me training my Padawan:

He'll be on the forums once he picks a proper name :)

well looks like you did a lousy job as a master, his saber is red  so he has already turned to the dark side lol  :D

Haha nope - that's me with the red saber!  He has a Guardian Blue Aeon.  I'm a Grey Jedi anyway so technically I'm allowed to use a red saber ;)

lol my mistake then  :P

Haha no biggie.  I took some pics the other night and wanted to post them but they didn't come out all that great - gotta get the camera settings right.  I might post one of my gf tho, gotta ask her if it's cool.

EDIT:  Found a good one of her and I clashing.

take charge, post them without asking, of course you would probably get a good duel going then, and I bet she probably wouldn't be smiling......just kidding.

Where was the pics taken, I noticed the fence with barbed wire.

In JAIL!  hahahah no I kid, it's outside our apartment.  We live pretty close to a high school and community pool so I guess it's fenced off pretty hardcore lol.

Don't want the saber hoodlums getting in the community pool, do we? :D

I call this Krypton Jedi?
(http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n579/Segler5/IMAG0160.jpg?t=1311146354)

I call that BAD F*CKING @$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Lol! Yeah, my friends on Facebook call it NERD!

I call it you should add me on facebook (link on my profile ;D) and just curious what saber is that?

Ok, I can kid on this one and save a post in the whats your favorite line from a movie:

Everythings so greeeen - made by king Louie on Toot (mel brooks history of the world part I)

Yea, What kind of saber was it????

Sorry guys. I had to take the pic myself. It's the Consular. I have a review on it btw.

Here's one of me w/my Consular and my bro in-law's SRD Liberator.
(http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n579/Segler5/My%20Lightsaber%20Pics/IMAG0197-1.jpg?t=1311278311)

Whoa they look awesome together!  Almost can't tell them apart, although on second glance you can see the subtle color difference.  Very nice weapons!  I love green sabers :)

yeah the SRD Liberator's in front but it can be hard to tell. They are good together and I too love the green sabers though I've been digging Yellow ones recently.

ya i am normally not a big fan of green sabers except wen i first saw it in rotj, but those look awesome!

I hope my green prophecy looks that cool when it comes in ;D

i'm the one in costume and the owner of that prophecy and one of those vaders lol



UPDATE:  PB pic removed.  :)

nice im gettin a prophecy in green soon :) just waitin for it to ship out

you're going to love it only thing about it is the balance is a little off on it but it might just be cause i have the ultraheavy grade blade

another one with a prohecy...im starting to feel left out. i gotta get 1 soon. lol

did my wicked armor do your costume? I am having him make a revan for me and it looks exactly like yours, very kick ass. love it.

damn how much cuz thats the blade i got

being that it was my first complete saber i really didn't notice anything at all but when i help the MR vader in one hand and prophecy in the other you can tell the difference in the balancing but for dueling purposes it would be perfect i just held the prophecy and the vader in my hand for 6 hours and and vader would stay up with no problem but the prophecy just keep pulling down

Swam,  Most Excellent costume!!!!!!  You should do a review on it!!!!!

I agree!  Can't wait to see it!  When Artorius and I get the robes we ordered, we'll be sure to post pics of our new Jedi outfits ;)

awesome costume swam!

Complete outfit or just robes?  I keep having issues with whomever I order from.  First Museum Replicas, now TwinRosesDesigns.

We went with Twin Roses, she's been responding to my emails pretty well so I'm hopeful.  I'm getting a tunic as well as a cloak, while Artorius is just getting a robe.

I received my order from TwinRosesDesigns last friday (the 22nd).  The workmanship is superb, the only problem...way, way to big.  I now have to take them in to get alterations.  I measured twice and came up with the same sizes.  I think she just added a bit too much for shrinkage and a loose fit.  Hope your order fairs better.   Would I order again from them-yes.

It must be nice to have money..... :'(

to clarify, the costume pics in this thread are not mine, nor is that me. I was just wondering if he made the costume or if it was my wicked armor.

mywickedarmor.com is a professional costume maker and I recently commissioned him to make a revan for me, it should be finished by September. yes when it is done i will be happy to do a review and tons of pictures for it. Hopefully it will be good to go for the release of star wars the old republic so I can wear it to the midnight launch.

Interesting... I specifically requested that she make them more form fitting for me, since I'm going for more of a Luke ROTJ look and less of a traditional Jedi look, so we'll see how it goes.

i always liked the luke rotj look. his cloak was awesome

I picked it up from a 501st member it looked amazing. I would say though the armor needs a little work on the top holding it in. I had to make something better then those thin lace like straps they put on the armor. I love the costume! I can't wait for the Old republic to come out though haha

a picture of "The Duel".  The blue blade is being wielded by my mom and is a cheapo Anakin saber that you can get at Wal-Mart. 

Guess I oughta post some pics too...  Enjoy!

(http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/Creature_of_Antioch/Lightsabers/DSCN5090.jpg?t=1313021446)

This is the ready stance of my own personal mix of the styles.  Single saber; one handed; really really fast.
(http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy100/Creature_of_Antioch/Lightsabers/DSCN5099.jpg?t=1313021498)

That's epic saber right there. Is that the standard Fire Orange, or something else? It looks amazing! I wonder if my Orange photos like that.....

Nice ones Kaiden!  Did you make that outfit yourself, or get it custom done?

Nice pics Kaiden. That 4th one hurt my eyes a little though...

@Manroon:  Yeah, that's just a standard Orange / Red Phantom split in two, on moderately high battery.

@Nero:  The tunic/robe is an old dress I modified to fit properly, and then added the red highlights.  The leather pieces that I'm wearing on my upper arms I made myself, along with the belt.  The cloth wrapping on my hand I found in the bottom of a scrap pile, and the boots I ordered.

@Threadjack:  I'm surprised you don't know of this force power... overpowering your blade so that it blinds those who look upon it can be quite useful.

very cool pics kaiden

I need to get a good outfit like you guys got   :-[

Cool pics Kaiden, I like those 'residual light' saber spinning ones  ;D

Cool Update on the Pics Master Shardsbane ;)

That bottom picture looks AWESOME!!!!!!!

Ahh, I see. Yes I can imagine that would be quite useful.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

awesome pic kaiden

Very nice Daishi!  Looks like a very nice SRD Bellicose!

ty ^^ to bad the copper finish on the button is starting to chip off =( but wear and tear makes a good saber >=)~

*noticed your sig* my off hand is a short red one ;p

Pretty cool color combo with SRD and red.  I would go for a red off hand but I typically use green for my main saber, and I don't wanna have Christmas colors... no one would take me seriously lol.  I'm gonna get myself a yellow off hand eventually...

Agreed =p I think I'm going Silver for my off hand

New Pic ;) 

Thought I Would Share  8)

love the costume wraith!

Much Appreciated My Bother ;)!!!

Nice costume Lord Wraith.

You do look excellent in there Wraith.  Really very Sithy!

Lord Wraith.... you still have no face I see. How very sithly of you. ;D GREAT costume man! Seriously realistic there.

Sick costume Wraith, very good picture all in all.  You truly look like a Sith ;)

They could have used that picture for the Revan novel.

Thank You Very Much For All The High Praise My Brothers  ;D  ;D  ;D

Never Hurts To Get Your Ego Stroked A Little ;) lol

Here I am using my Bellicose in Sunrider's Destiney, and my friend's Dark Catalyst in Arctic Blue. Thoughts?

That's a good one. I especially like the pose.

Wicked sweet. Looks like game-art.

looks starkiller-ish.

Very good use of shadows, Is the tip missing off the Arctic Blue catalyst?

Doing my best Starkiller with my SRD Prophecys.



UPDATE:  tinypic not showing.  Removed.  :)

Hahaha, yes, it sure is missing. He ordered a pointed tip, and then a week or 2 after he got it, the tip went flying off and was lost to the sands of time. So now he uses a lovely cheap tactis of blinding people before atacking.

Here's a pic of me with the first Ultrasaber I ever bought. My Fire Orange Omen (I'm also looking a little dark sided here lol).

kinda ironmanish

Good catch it is in fact an Iron Man helmet. :D

Sorry for the double post, but I ran out of time between my two posts. :(

Here's a photo of me trying to pull off The Force Unleashed 2 photo with my Arctic Blue Consular and my Fire Orange Omen. :D

(http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w357/darthgreivous/Picture102-1.jpg)

Any thoughts of painting it for a SW effect?   Your bdu had has seen better days :D

I'd guess that the hat is intentionally worn down. I'm not a fan of worn, but faded, salty BDUs or "snow cammies" as we jarheads like to call them are kind of awesome.

Yeah I've had that hat for about 5 or 6 years. It wasn't that bad when I got it though it was a little worn down lol. What do you mean by painting it?  ???

kinda hard to explain, was just wondering if you was going for a more sw look with it and was going to repaint it.  Kind of like using a hockey goalies mask but doing something with it.  I know I have the Darth Vader mask and would like to work the face part of the mask into my costume, but I don't want people to say hey darth where is the other part of your helmet.

Are you asking if I'm gonna photoshop it? If so nah I was just messin' around with my sabers. :D

Oh, ok.

Me with Adegan Silver Prophecy. I'm a Jedi Assassin (a Jedi who is also an assassin not an assassin of Jedi)! You can also see my light-knife by my right hip.  :)

So you my friend would make a perfect candidate for The Sentinel Division of the Order of the Suns of the Force. I know it's a mouth full.

That's Master Artorius and Nero's Order, The honored me with the Title of Commander of the Sentinels.

When we get the page up I recommend you apply. ;D

Let me know when it's up!  8)

Will do brother. ;D

A warning to all those who would share their sabers with their friends!  This is what will happen if you combine a hyper friend, lots of sugar, and a lightsaber!

Nice job, I think that wrap suits your particular model well. :)

Plus a nice way to attach a d-ring key-ring...hope you have deep pockets :D :D

A saber AND a girl! You lucky son of a biscuit.

Deep Pockets?

When someone says, you have Deep Pockets, they mean you have a lot of money to spend, and you like to spend it.

HAHA she's not actually mine! LOL!  :D

hahahaha i wish i had alot but im gonna stick with this one for awhile.. well untill i fail my modification Objective

New, if very dark, pic of me and trusty old Toepick!

(http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h158/Manroon/IMG_0127.jpg)

This was testing out the addition of my newly acquired Vader Tabbard/Vest thingy worn over my outter tunic but under the sash and belts. Also added my WWI French leather ammo pack to the belt, but you can't see that in this pic. lol What do you all think?

And I thought MY room was a mess! XD. Nice pic though, you could have looked INTO the camera. lol.

Good pic.

Your costume looks good, the black tabbards look good against the white.

And shaved, combed your hair ;D ;D ;D  Seriously, how about a pic with lights on, it's kind of hard to see the details of the costume.

This is my first saber, the Prophesy with the SRD Ultra Heavy...

This is my youngest daughter with her 1st saber (the dark side is strong in this one)

My newest saber....the Initiate V3 with the 32 inch blade White LED color courtesy of Lee Filters

And last but no least my oldest got her 1st saber today... surprisingly enough....she chose the dark side too....



UPDATE:  PB pics removed.  :)

Great pictures!

Always nice to see the next generation with sabers in hand  ;D

Great pics Dreaming, thanks for sharing!

Short sabers?

Yes, I'm making a face...



UPDATE:  PB pic removed.  :)

ROFL!

I'm just waiting for Kham to get overly excited about the short blades or the fact that one is yellow...

he didn't get all excited when i posted a pic of my short blade...

Is yours yellow?

no, but it's short.  i thought that made him excited too.

!!!SHORT BLADES!!!

Oh this makes me overly excited. ;D ;D ;D



SY FTW!

My cat,  blackops in the background and Lillith my saber.

showdown on tatooine



UPDATE:  PB pic removed.  :)

Well I thought I'd do some fun stuff with my sabers and try to capture all the current colors that we've seen and asked Ultrasabers to make for us.  And yes, I was in character for these pics.  All these pics are with UltraEdge Heavy Grade blades and fresh batteries.

Warning:  Some of the colors in the following pictures are recreated using my RGB saber and the color filters that come with Adegan Silver.  Do NOT take these for perfect representations of the colors mentioned.  These are just my attempts at re-creating these colors.

Sentinel Yellow!

IDC how annoying that gets. ;D

Nice range of Pics Kaiden.

great pics kaiden! i like how you showed expression for each color  :)

Thanks Boss!  Since I couldn't get myself out of the pics, I decided to have fun with it instead of just stay blank.

nice pics kaiden

Thanks for the props all!  Now here's the real test:  Can you tell which colors I actually have and which are copies?  I'm curious to see how close I came to getting the colors right.

Pyrestone, Bane's Heart, SRD, and DVA. The Adegan Silver one is the RGB version though, and that's not a true silver. Adegan Silver can only be experienced to the fullest with a single led, or an RGBW led if you're into that sort of thing.

My first sabers...

Twin Sabers: Honor and Glory

Haha thanks!

Here's me at Long Beach Comic Con with my friend (the Joker) and a Boba Fett:

An unfortunately small picture from Halloween.

(http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h158/Manroon/photo.jpg)

Left to Right: The lovely lady is my GF borrowing Constance (FO CE Proph), the tall guy in the middle is me with Toepick and Otenbasan (GB SI and CG Bellicose), and the dude on the right is my best friend with his VA Consular. Constance has Econo Sound, Toepick is a stunt, and Otenbasan and the Consular are Obsidian numbers. All the sabers were a HUGE hit around town that night, and we got lots of pictures taken by passers by. :)

>< really jealous of alot of you with your sabers and costumes! i really need to get a picture with my new stuff

very nice manroon!

Thanks Tratus! It's hard to tell, but I'm armored in that one too. Stolen stormie chest, back, shin, boot, and right shoulder and bicep pieces. Oh, and hands. It was sweet. :)

Going back and looking at the pic closely I did notice something on your shoulder, but couldn't distinguish what it was.

Yeah, we meant to take more and better pics, but by the time we got to that all the batteries had crapped out except for the ones in Toepick. Luckily my buddy's mom had the foresight to snap a group shot before we started out, so at least we have this. And aside from it being a cel phone pic, it came out great!  8)

This is me getting ready to hit the local biker bar down the street for theyre halloween party

Nice Armor, I like the size of pics you used cause you can see the details better.

I Give You Total and Complete Props My Dark Brother ;)!!!

You Look Like A Total Bad Ass  8)!!!

Our group shot from Halloween this year.  Our friend Ryan (left), myself (center), my wife (on the right), and the wee sith in the front is our friend's nephew.



UPDATE:  PB pic removed.  :)

Very nice!  I especially like the kid in front!  What that boy really needs is an Initiate.

very cool

Oh believe me, if he belonged to my wife and I, he would have it  :). I shall have to convince his uncle to get one for him.

Here's a shot of me with my MHS saber. I haven't taken any pictures WITH my US Consular, but i've got pictures of it!

and the consular in CG next to my girlfriend's dark initiate v2 le in VA

Well, here I am with my Raven

And here is my 86 year old mother after we dueled on the lawn.



UPDATED:  PB pics removed.  :)

That last one. Epic win. Ol' Lady don't take no crap offa nobody!  ;D I always love the pics that prove you're never too old or too young for a good toy.

"keep Active"

Here's a new picture of me with my Nemisis for Halloween! Good times.

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/375515_241633022560240_140301799360030_715342_1616293872_n.jpg)

Before I forget here's another picture of my Nemisis saber with Ashley Eckstein posing with my wife Kristen at Star Wars Weekends 2011. We were there doing a live broadcast for Sorcerer Radio. Ashley was great to all the fans, as she always is. Perhaps we can see an Ahsoka set of inspired sabers down the road. My wife really got into the mood of things as Assajj. I'm still saving up for her sith battle staff. Perhaps for our live broadcast from Star Wars Weekends and Celebration 6. That would be cool.

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/268017_189514171105459_140301799360030_534984_873201_n.jpg)

BTW Ashley really liked my Ultra Saber and I told her where she could get it. Perhaps next time we'll see her pose with one of her own. Now that would be cool! That picture was shot during the day. I was impressed with the way the green held up. Stellar!

Those are some awesome pics Mouseketeer.  Green is always a good color to go with if you want a nice bright saber ;)  You and your wife have some nice costumes too!

Man, now I want to go to celebration 6.

Just a couple shots from the vault.

Her Jedi costume is actually pretty complete, but you can't see it well in this pic.

Love the Stances and the Initiates for sure. ;D

Would love to see some costume pics as well.

Does she really fight with two staffs?

I've gotten fairly proficient with a staff and single sword.

very nice pics!

This is the leftovers from cutting one of my blades down to initiate size.



UPDATE:  PB pic removed.  :)

LOL... no, She doesn't use 2 staffs. She stole mine after beating me in a duel.
However she's IS interested in the staff/sword combination as well... She's a fan of Shaak Ti, and thought it was cool when she did it.

SABER NIGHT!!!
We had Jedi...
Sith...
Experienced Knights...
Younglings...
...and least a couple unfair fights...
All in all, a fun time...



UPDATE:  PB pics removed.  :)

@Jammo

Love the pics.  Especially the last one with the girl on the cell phone. 

I second this, the cell phone gave me a chuckle.  That picture also made me quite jealous... I can't imagine having that many people together posing with lightsabers!  Looked like a lot of fun Jammo, thanks for the pics.

Haha that's my niece, she was bragging to all of her friends about playing with sabers.  Her and my nephew may be coming to our saber nights more often, she had an awesome time. 

Next time we have a Knitting party I am totally going to have everyone with their sabers.

Yes, Knitting party.

We all sit around drink copious amounts of booze and knit each other stuff.

MJ is a fantastic drunk Knitter, I other other hand screwed up two, count'em two, R2D2 beanies.

Maybe you should use those chop sticks that look like lightsabers as knitting needles.

We have alot of laughs here in Phoenix...

Sometimes its hard to choose...



UPDATE:  PB pic removed.  :)

You've got that "child in a candy/toy store" look

It was not the easiest picture to take, but totally worth it...I love this picture.

TASTE THE RAINBOW. ;D

Good picture.

What the hell, full body shot. I'm only half darkside, I promise. :D

Sabers:

Standard Issue- Violet Amethyst, UEHG.

Dark Liberator- Blazing Red, UEHG.

Your STIG status is officially revoked. LOL

I forgot about that... lol.

Jammo, you are so lucky! You have like your own little saber community. I am the only one i know around here that has one :(

Its kind of grown from a couple of us idiots to a small group of credible duelists in the last five or so years. I'm fortunate to be getting my finger more and more on the pulse of Phoenix geek culture, too.

Mind Trick on anyone who sees this, because.....



THIS /\

Never happened. ;D

...and you also have a little flock of younglings that are interested in learning too now....

This isn't the STIG you are looking for. Move along, move along....

The Horror! I can never Unsee what I have seen!!

Says the man who posted the Holiday Special. Just sayin.

LOL, it is funny because its true!

Hey, in defense of the poodoo special, I still want one of Lumpy's wooden X-Wings. That toy was BOMB! XD

Not me, but my new Initiate keeping my company at work  :D My new favorite addition to a small but growing collection of desk toys.

Fear me. Please.

(http://i.imgur.com/6TAZX.jpg)

Well, you've got the saber, you've got the eyes, the hood's there but it could be better..... but the bunk bed doesn't do much to inspire fear in me. lol The saber making your nose disappear does something for creating fear though, with the expression and all, it's haunting in a way.

That was the day I got my saber :P I just walked into my brother's room and said "TAKE A PICTURE." I need to have an actual intimidating picture taken soon :P

lol I know what you mean. Somewhere back in this thread's early pages there's a shot of me in full costume with my saber..... standing in the middle of a pile of junk and clutter all over my room. lol

*high fives*

We all gotta start somewhere :D

You mean this one http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=166.msg2464#msg2464 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=166.msg2464#msg2464) (runs away)  ;D

Thats the one. Except I confused it with another one. Someplace else on the forum there's a newer one like that. It actually has a saber in it too. lol *throws something at Duff*

Messy room aside, that costume kicks ass.

Thanks! Here's a repost of the more up to date version, though last time I wore this with some armor, but either way....

(http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h158/Manroon/IMG_0127.jpg)

Also a trek fan too so cool all around

Thanks! lol Yeah... I'm big on Trek too. It's a little hard to tell, but if you look at the top right corner of that pic, the white thing is actually an Enterprise Bottle Rocket we built in High School, it's just upside down lol. The more recognizable silver enterprise hanging under it is actually a camera test model from Nemesis, one of my favorite pieces. :)

Well, I got hold of my brother's fancy camera.  I don't know how to work it properly, but... I did find some cool setting that let me do these:

Point for you Kaiden, A tip of the hat to you. ;D

Heeeeeeyyyyy...those are ridiculous!

Please to provide camera make and model...perhaps the setting that allowed the coolness to ooze forth!?!

Please...

Well, apparently it's a fairly common setting.  Or so I'm told.  Anywho, it basically keeps the shutter open for several seconds instead of just clicking open and shut.  It's one of the High-end Nikons.  That's all I know.  Oh, you'll need to put it on a tripod because if the camera moves at all the whole image will blur extremely.

Mother of Pikkiwokki, that is beyond badass. I need to take some pictures like that. Point for you, dear sir!

Heh heh heh. That Sith garb of yours always makes me think Firebender.

Anyways, those pics are EPIC WIN! It's so cool to see some shots in the snow like that, makes it seem more real.

Those are some awesome pics Kaiden!

It's because he's in the tundra of Alderaan. ;D

Really? I thought he was assaulting the temple on Rhen Var. Dang, now I made a hyperspace jump for nothin'... :P

Thanks for the points guys!  About the snow, if you're talking about the glow on the ground, you should be able to do that with the same shutter technique I mentioned earlier with just about any surface.  Just be sure to hold very, very, still.  Don't even breathe.  I kid you not.

Is it just me or is there a skull in that first one?    And that second one...OOooooooooh fire dragon!!

....what has been seen cannot be unseen....

Duff, what have you done?

I give up, what?  ;D     It is just what I saw the first time I looked at it....sorry. :)

A couple of those remind me of a saber throw.

Training my Padawans. These are my twin brothers. They LOVE my sabers. As soon as they started playing with them they went and told my mom that they want them for their birthday!

@Stockton: Hey man, why'd you never tell us you look like Ewan McGreggor? lol

@Spidey: Cute. ;)

Ah, what the heck. I'll throw up my raffle photo too.

Jedi Sentinel in training!



UPDATE:  PB pic removed.  :)

YES!

"Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not, for I shall whack you in the kneecaps with these UltraSabers!" lol ;D

No, in my experience, small children can almost unerringly find the crotch, be it with hand, foot, or head... I would doubt that an Ultrasaber would prove an exception.

attack the weak point for massive damage!

Small child used Crotch Shot!  It's Super Effective!

My new Overlord in SITH Yellow.   ;)



UPDATE:  PB pic removed.  :)

A Yellow Sih saber, huh? That's an interesting choice.

No, never Sith, ALWAYS Sentinel! ;D

I kid, I kid.


Sent from my Datapad using Holonet.

I knew you'd get a kick outta that Kham.  :)  

Ever since I gave Starkiller a yellow crystal in The Force Unleashed I was hooked on it as a Sith colour.  I think it compliments red sabers nicely (well, evilly; nothing 'nice' about it).  To me yellow = fear.

Actually, it was my search for a yellow saber that brought me to Ultrasabers in the first place, I thought was gonna have to settle for a Hasbro red Vader until I found this forum.

DO NOT! Get me started. lmao

I'm glad that US was able to satisfy your need; They definitely did for me. ;D

OOOOMMMMMMMM freaking GGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!! You look sooooooooooooooooo SICK!!!! I want to see more pictures of you dude!!!! Yellow is a great choice!

I agree, that is some excellent makeup!

Stop encouraging it Yega! ;D

But Seriously, more yellow in the community makes me smile.

NO HONEY! WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE LAD! lol

This yellow Sith saber thing is pretty new, and at first, I did not like it, but after seeing this pic, it makes me want one!

I never really liked yellow that much, it would probably be my one of the last saber colors that i would get....*smiles and looks at Kham*  ;D   Though I agree with Yega now that i have seen a sith user with the color it does seem like it would make a great color that a sith would duel wield.  8)

Yeah, it is some new thing that the SWTOR game has allowed. I see so many Sith Marauders duel wielding yellow.

I know we are getting off topic here but......

while it will always be Sentinel Yellow,  There are many different colors of Suns in the vast darkness of space.

A Sith Yellow seems like a Star ready to Burst and laugh at the ruin it brings forth. (I like how that sounds.)

A Sentinel Yellow seems like a bright yellow sun chinning to guide those, good and bad through space.

DUAL WIELD!


DUAL WIELD AGAIN!

It's because they heard the stories of yellow sabers and flying bodies. ;D

Thanks for all the postive feedback!   :D

It's still a costume in progress; more to come.  I'm hoping to incorporate some retro looking Vader style LEDs (mainly in red and yellow!)

I'll post more as it comes together, stay tuned!   :P

Darkside point for you. Your awesome and your evil both know no bounds. EPIC warpaint, my villainous man.

I'm going to use my one time only "Unnecessarily large and Obnoxious Text" card.

YES!

Plus! It matches your DOPE goggles.  ;D

im going to be really honest here people, this is the best pic ive seen.  the face paint, and contacts. . . the way the background of the photo is literally the light being given off by the saber itself, the activation button light shining through his fingers. . .

id think this was a professionally made photo. . .

Submit this in the Facebook contest and you will win... this photo rocks!

Thanks!!   :D

I just took this in my bedroom with a tripod, a point-and shoot camera on auto-timer and the lights off. 

To be fair I took a LOT and this was the best one, some came out looking pretty bad.  :P

One of my pics I posted for the Facebook raffle.

The character is a man who wast trained by a lone Jedi in between episode 3 and 4 while in hiding. His master was killed, he seeks to complete his training and hunt down the ones responsible. The outfit comes with his journey to Tatooine to seek out a Jedi master named Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Jamie Hyneman?

Oh hey, our stories are similar!

I was trained by Master Ray Simpson during the disco wars which takes place after Empire Strikes Back, one day I was practicing my yoga when news came that Master Ray had been taken out by a meteor and died instantly. With no more training to do, my life quickly spiraled down the drain with drugs and alcohol and that's when Max Rebo found me. He recruited me into his band but said I was a little too flamboyant with my hard hat.
That infuriated me, I left him after all he had done to get my life back in order, and joined the Village People.

Living happily ever after.

LMAO - Now I'm going to hear "Y...O-D-A!" in my head all morning! Thanks for that one, Osmethae =)

That doesn't seem safe.

Go Pyro though

ehhhh...Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you Kham, much fear.

I'm not scarred of it but the look on his face says that he doesn't seem to sure about what he's doing. lol


Flame on! ;D

That's not fear...it is focus lol.

Must focus on not "Burnin' Down the House".

don't look so happy Kham..

I know, right? "Why so SERIOUS?"  :D

@ Shami: You know, aside from the hair being too short, you cut a pretty good Qui-Gon face to go with that consular. lol Good picture, and way to represent!

@Spidey: Awesome. Just awesome. MJ particularly. The saber on the purse is epic, and oh... my.... word.... I wish my GF would wear a dress with a rebel starbird on it. *is jealous*  :D

@ Kham/Mj
Sweet guys! I wish I could have joined you.  Is that a light saber "Hair pin" MJ has?  AWESOME.  Way to represent.
Amen

What's that?

OMG I love you.

"No comment on the photo itself, no no. I was just wondering if that small unimportant black sculpture is in the back was some obscure form of a pig? Yup, that's all I needed."
(That's how it went in my head.)

You get a point dude, I can't stop laughing.

Lol...214 cr hrs of non-dedicated science, biology, zoology, marine science, etc. pays off every now and then...I know my critters :)

Just found this one and thought it was pretty great:

Me with my custom Luke ROTJ, not long after I received it.  I was very excited and skyping with Artorius, who took a screenshot of me lighting up the saber in the closet... aka the only dark place I could find in my apartment (it was daytime).

...and ruined all those clothes!

 ;D

The elation in your smile in just too much.

The first time you activated it you must have just screamed at least a little. ;D

AH GREEN! lol

Fighting the urge......Fighting the Urge......FIGHTING THE URGE.......CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!      Time to come out of the Closet Nero, we are all friends here, it is a safe place.     ;D ;D ;D


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tXBCPTo7Rc# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tXBCPTo7Rc#)

Hahaha yes, it was probably something like the time you got your first SY saber...

@Duff Man - I fully expected some "come out of the closet" jokes, especially with South Park references.  It was definitely something that gave Artorius a good chuckle lol

I took that screen shot with the intent to use it against Nero, and he goes and posts it of his own volition...  What is going on!?  As a note, his shirt was orange and the green totally wiped it, that is one bright LED.

Exactly!

I turned it on and then I was all " Now I'm in the closet." LMAO

Set the fire yourself that way you can control the path. : )

I was not yet a forum member when I saw that saber in the closet video on youtube. Was that your vid?

Jammo we need to get a picture of my new saber....

Yup.

"No hold a minute and let me step inside here (Fumbling and silence.) Now i'm in the closet."

Here's me and my new saber. Sorry for the pic quality. Crappy webcam. It's the BR Raven with the full smash.

UPDATE:  Let's just leave that kitten here for posterity.  lol :D

Cool picture.

We gotta get you a better camera though, I thought it was FO. ;D

Alrighty, so I've talked about leather grips and stuff so check it... this is Dreaming's new Standard in VA plus Jammo grip...

(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/jodie0616/si1.jpg?t=1329520251)

and reverse for the lacing...

(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/jodie0616/si2.jpg?t=1329520318)

its a tad rough, as is this FO STEEL Standard from some time ago I now call Nomad...

(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/jodie0616/nomad1.jpg?t=1329520143)

I painted it a bronze color and added that grip, as you can see, but I also took a crack at adding its name to it...

(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/jodie0616/nomad2.jpg?t=1329520188)

Whatcha think?



UPDATE:  Left alone.  Might contain some good customization info.  :)

Those are pretty tasty.

I really like the look of yours how many pieces are tied together?

Its a four panel concept, so five total pieces with the split for the switch.

amazing looking saber, absolutely amazing, you took a seemingly basic design and turned it into something show piece worthy

You flatter me with your show piece talk. Its still a tad rough for that.

Here is a picture from a few years ago. That's me with my Parks Graflex. It has a 5w blue Luxeon running on an UltraSound V1 soundboard. I built the saber myself with own scratch built chassis. The costume is an Anakin type base., although I'm to fat to pretend I'm Anakin, LoL. The tabbards are pleather and snap to the shoulders to hold them in place, the pouches are real leather, and I have the correct pen caps for the food capsules. I just need good boots to finish it!

(http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g411/directorcass1/Obicostume.jpg)

Whoa, that's a nice looking Anakin costume!  Very spot on.

Boots are the rough part... I have a decent pair that I got for cheap on eBay, but I'd really like to get a better fitting leather pair one day... although that would be rather expensive.

They can be expensive, but your feet WILL thank you.  Well-made leather boots will hold up for a long while, provided you care for them (saddle soap with mink oil in it will do wonders).  You might have to forgo a single saber with sound to get them, I will admit, but...

One of the best places to find the style you might like would be a Rennaissance Faire in your area.  Most of the shops that sell them have cards, and if you explain that you're shopping they should be able to fit you in-store.  Then, use the web address on the card to check out the virtual shop - a lot of folks at Faires have to charge higher amounts for rent of the storefront.

My wife has a pair by one manufacturer, the name and site of which I'll PM should folks wish, that will re-sole the shoes for life that she inherited from a friend who bought boots WAY too small (silly, but he's a sucker for an enthusiastic, persistent sale).  It cost a bit to do - but she went into their storefront at a local Faire, and even though her boots were of a style that hadn't been MADE in ten years, they recognized the boot and said they could fix it, which is a pretty awesome thing in my book.  The boots ARE pricey, but so long as you take care of the boots, the manufacturer will replace almost anything that you do to them, and cover EVERYTHING that could result from workmanship defects.

I got mine from a different manufacturer, as mine were more basic and our own purchase.  But, I dolled them up with some extra strap work and a leather covering for the top of the foot that I think looks pretty good.

Thanks for the info ed_ification.  I've heard that a bit from various people (in this community and others), it seems that a pair of good fitted boots is a very worthwhile investment.

For me the main problem with that kind of money is the use I'll really have for the boots... sadly I can't say I wear my Jedi costume as much as I'd like (don't really attend cons or anything).  I find very few excuses to break it out throughout the year, making that kind of purchase less and less worthwhile for someone like me :(  That said, someone who DOES costume quite a bit would DEFINITELY benefit from a nice pair of boots like that!

I have been giving this boot aspect some thought.

For those who played baseball, think about the leggings/socks

(http://blog.stevienova.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/51tfxcek31l.-aa280-.jpg)

The red ones...picture them in light weight upholstery material, a leather-ish product...$10-20 tops.

Match a pair of shoes to the leather-ish product or vice versa to the leggings.

Simple to put together and inexpensive.

I do Renaissance Faires myself and I have to agree with ed_ification.  The boots available at Faires range from a plethora of different styles and fittings.  However, on that note I would very much recommend purchasing from surplus products during the off-season (i.e. now until march which is the beginning of Faire season) on amazon.  You will save a considerable amount of cash then from purchasing it up-front.

If not, well then taking a trip to your local Faire is always fun, however, in many ways I prefer the comment below to not only save on some cash, but to allow you to customize your boots for many different occasions.



On a different note, Jedi Relmeob has the right idea in making your own boots, or rather graves / legging / boot slops in that it is a FAR more economical and cost effective alternative as opposed to purchasing full calf-high boots.

I also argue it allows you to keep your options open.
Have some military boots but don't want your strings to show?
Put the leggings over them.
Have some regular brown or black dress shoes from a thrift-store but are just not very Jedi-like?
Put some leggings over them.

Using those socks as an example, you can construct your own fitting of leggings from leather to not only fit onto a number of different types of shoes preferably leather ones, but it also gives you the feeling that you're wearing a nice pair of boots only there's better breathing room and it actually feels like you have armor on.

I'd do it myself to show an example and save myself some cash not to mention accomplish a long-awaited dream of mine, except that I have limited knowledge on sewing leather together and my ability to rivet leather is sub-par.

Yayyyyy I helped!

 ;D

Anyone else familiar with the art of the Pathfinder rpg? Wayne Reynolds has an interesting style, look at the leggings & wrist bracers. Wraps & straps over what could be just regular gloves & footwear make for a pretty cool look.

Since we decided to make the rpg setting we're working on to be Pathfinder compatable, I've adapted my style a bit to emulate his. A square of padded cloth wrapped around your legs with a couple of straps or shin guards over that to hold it.

Thanks Stockton.  Back on topic please!

Anybody got more cool pics?

Im putting together a jedi costume now, its kinda why i havent posted any pics up of the (soon to be) 6 US sabers i own. . .  well its really only three but i buy two of every saber. . .

where do you guys get your outfits?  i found this store on ebay, nice lady named Leigh, here is her eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/Khloes-Kustom-Klothing?_rdc=1 (http://stores.ebay.com/Khloes-Kustom-Klothing?_rdc=1)

she sells the tunic seperately for 75 (pants undertunic, outertunic, obi, and tabbards) and the robes seperately, or you can buy the whole outfit, including pants and robes for like 150 i think?  its custom made, custom measurements, and custom colors.

is that a good price?

No problem. Just trying to help out you mods!

Rick nailed it...these look great and at a decent price...materials alone would be $90-100

Those look great, especially for the price.  I'd prefer a heavier weight robe, but that's just me.

Now can we get back on topic?

Sorry I got distracted by pretty pretties didn't look at the thread title...I blame the dark side...  :)

That's ok, we all get distracted sometimes ;)

Just to help us get back on track, here's another pic of me and a saber... that I randomly grabbed out of the archives lol

It's the gf and I dueling outside our apartment (from a while back).  That's my Consular Green Dominix V1 in my hands, while the gf has her original purple PVC hilt.

And while I'm at it...

This one is cool, me spinning my Dominix.

Nero,

That last picture was supremely BAD ASS!!!

Have to agree with Blue.

That looks so sick, intimidating at the least.

wow! that last pic looked like it was in broad daylight too. . .

I like the explosion of light over towards the right side of the picture haha

Nero's last pic is BA as hell. Especially since I was listening to something akin to Johnny Cash's Ghost Rider when it scrolled up on my screen.  ;D

The force burns brighter than the sun within his palm. ;D

Speaking of Ghost Rider, spirit of vengence was cool for what it was; what we expected the first ghost rider to be.

Anyway,

I should have brought sabers up to the mountains to take pictures.

Yes, you should have.

I always have at least two of my sabers behind my seat in my truck in case of need for some awesome pictures lol

I love these, you did an awesome job on them.  

Took this one tonight, well brother did. Not much room here in the Fifth Wheel :P So I'm in the bathroom where its the darkest. Though I do like how the blades emit one half of the picture then the other

Bummer about the space; I know how that is.

Point thought because of how good this looks.

The AS looks like it should a silver shimmering white, with the CG providing a back drop of sorts.

Ill be taking more pictures tomorrow when i Drag these two to school tomorrow, hopefully I'll get better poses in the Photography room ;D Though Im glad i've got the D. Lib I was thinking about getting a two handed saber

This is me and my Dark Initiate V3 LE. The Consular green really pops with the black and silver. I am so pleased. Addicted as well. Thank you to ultra sabers for the excellent transaction and service. (The outfit is for work, I work at a restaurant.)

Nice pic! That Consular Green looks super bright!

Yeah by the time I had purchased/received my saber, I had seen pretty much every pic and/or review there is. But I was still surpassed by how bright it is. I LOVE the consular green. My gf is not a big star wars fan but even she thinks it is awesome and is now considering getting an initiate for herself. I will post a review shortly.

Jor I'm going to be honest, I love the saber but what got you a point was the Godzilla vs. Barkley poster.  Bravo.   

Hahaha thank you. it is one of my favorites.

Here we go guys, get to see my ugly mug haha I can't believe how bright these things are still, still in the honeymoon phase haha

To share Flickr photos on this forum, go to the picture and click on the button that says "Share" above it.  Choose the third drop down menu "Grab the HTML/BBCode" and make sure the BBCode button is selected (I think it defaults to HTML) then choose your size and paste.  You'll end up with something like this.

You forgot the [ in /img]

Plus you need a jpg link not the photostream. I like the wrap that you did on the Liberator!

i just want to post a pic.

Just grab the share link off Flickr.  Works for me every time.

@Elim - fixed your pics for you.  BBC code is what you want for posting them here.

There, you can't direct link jpgs from flickr I don't think.

and thank you Xanedan and master Nero

Well I guess I learned something already this morning! Gonna have to start using flickr more often

No problem.  Point for an awesome saber in my favorite color combo - not quite sure if it's in regulation though.  ;D

true, i don't think i could get a ACU digital powder coating though.....
again thanks for the help.

Wow that liberator looks great!

You guys do know there's a insert image and link button above the emotes right? All you need is the direct link of the photo.

the wrap was easy, the fore-grip is a rounded leather, mid is a thick "sinue" type thread and the end is a 1/4" leather.
all brown, shows up black. goes really well with the counselor green.

It's a bit trickier to get to the actual image on Flickr because their copyright protection prevents you from simply right clicking then grabbing the link.  

This is my first lightsaber ever, and the anticipation was excruciating. I have never been so excited to see the FedEx man in all my life lol.  Looking forward to getting some good shots of my buddy and I dueling.

Sick PO staff.

PO on the Dominix V3 LE hilts looks amazing!!!!!

wow. FO looks great here! assuming from your sig it is FO rather than the photo, which makes it seem absolutely PO. i notice a bit of colour fading towards the hilt, is that as noticable in real life as in this photo? either way that staff is gorgeous.

Woops I didn't see that very well.

FO my bad. ;D

Out with my new Overlord. I love the way the light reflects off the snow!

That's a really awesome pic man.  Snow is perfect for lightsaber pics, you get all that light reflection off of it and it looks simply epic!

That looks wicked!

Me and my Bellicose:

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg554/qroon/DSC00470.jpg)

Where is that little kid grin we saw in your video? Lol

I was holding it back! It pains me not to grin, he he he.

We all know the feeling very well :)

Chuckiton, it is indeed FO. There is a bit if fading towards the tip, but that may be because the batteries were not charged lol. I had to hop on the new sound fonts as soon as it came out of the box XD

I posted this once before, in the wrong section. Here's why you should always read the manual:
(http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j243/ltill/PAFF-1.jpg)
 ::)

Point for you, Sir. That was epic. If these things came with a manual, that would belong on the inside cover next to the warning note about hitting things with your saber and breaking weaker objects. lol

Hahahahaha... I recently also posted a question in 'Way of the Saber' if we keep in mind that the blade is all-cutting and non-solid. For techniques and poses. I see people lean with weight on light sabers and hold them lying on their shoulders in cool mid-evil pose.  :-\

Back on topic... My girlfriend with her Guardian.

I got my Consular the other day, and even though I haven't posted my review just yet, I wanted to share these pictures because of how awesome they are!

I was standing on my car for both of these shots.

Awesome pics!  Is that DVA or regular VA?

Nice pics. AWSOME saber isn't it?

Yessir it is. I love it.


It is DVA. Oddly enough my Grab Bag is regular VA.

It was Toronto ComicCon this weekend and although I didn't attend the convention, there was a kick-off party Friday night that I checked out.  I don't have my Sith costume anywhere near to the level I want it so in a pinch I just wore a bunch of black and threw on a cape.  My wife busted out her Halloween costume from last year - a Stormtrooper catsuit she made.

There was another Ultrasaber wielder at the party (I recognized his Liberator emitter from across the room!), but he's not active on the forums so I can't give him a shout out.


Me and the wife (yes, she's aware that she's a bobble-head)

My friend Mika (as Jade from Mortal Kombat) took my saber for a spin

Fat Jango Fett for the win!

A circle formed on the dance floor as various folks showed off their super powers (you shoulda seen the guy dressed as Reed Richards dancing in character) so I couldn't resist the chance to show off my Ultrasaber.  Not my best work, I'd had a few drinks at this point, but it was party dontcha know.  :P

http://youtu.be/JB5J-fR1x4E (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB5J-fR1x4E#ws)

When he took his helmet off his face and hair looked disturbingly like Jango though... 

Really? There's worse people to look like than Tamuera Morrison though.

Those pics are awesome! The Rebel in me can't help but have a cocky smirk when looking at the barrel of an E-11. ;) Have to say, your blaster and belt look great! Your Sithy makeup is good too, and that gauntlet is pretty darn sweet. You're on your way to an epic costume. Sort of reminds me of a short story I read, probably in Tales of the Empire or something, with a guy named Inquisitor Trelaine. Best I could figure, he was like an Emperor's Hand or something. Freaky Dude. Your costume is pretty close to what I'd picture for either him, or another guy like him I read about. Forget his name, but he was in a similar book, and he was a Jedi turned Dark Jedi who turned his back on Palpatine and he was an Actor on top of all of that.

I love the pictures, all of them.

Not just because you have you Yellow saber.

MUST FIGHT URGE TO MAKE JOKE ABOUT STORMTROOPER ZIPPER LOCATION!!!!!!!.....there suppressed.  O.K. I am better now.    ;D

That costume looks great man! How much money do you have dumped into it?

Lol is it sad that the first thing i noticed was a stormtrooper wielding a droid rifle instead of an e-11? :?

Well, even Stormtroopers need to go to the bathroom.  We'll leave it at that.   ;)

She tells me version 2.0 will have a white zipper.

The stromtrooper catsuit was a cute idea...the strategic placement of zipper is an eye catcher which I assume is intended...her gun was good...your look is nice, with the eyes and touches of make-up...quite Sithy...well done...lucky you for the play along and dress up partner  :)

The two most expensive items for these costumes are my saber (Obsidian, FoC, etc) and her helmet (precision whatchamacallit from eFx).  A cat suit like that would actually top both of those at retail, except my wife made it herself; she designs and makes clothing for a living.  The zipper is intentionally provocative but also entirely functional, it continues all the way up to the back of the neck where it separates, it's the only way to get in and out of the suit. 

We don't have a Blastec E-11 because I can't find a good replica for cheap, but considering she's not exactly a regulation trooper, we just consider the droid blaster to be a war trophy left over from the clone wars.   ;)  My pistol is an original Nintendo Lightgun I painted and modified (if Luke can run around with a blaster, so can I) and I made the thigh holster for it myself out of  cardboard and vinyl.  The wrist piece is cardboard and vinyl again with an old phone keypad and a voltage meter I picked up at a junk shop.

Relmeob, I consider myself very lucky to have someone who not just tolerates my geekdom, but is a geek herself.   :D 

Actually, it's perfect, she does the wardrobes, I make the props.

Amen to this,

M.J. makes the costumes I mess with the sabers.

Point for marrying a Seamstress and a Geek. ;D

Sigh...I make the props...I sew the fabrics...wife just smiles and shakes her head "you are so weird" lol...but she is a great sport and loves the movies...I am going to make an elaborate Beauty and the Beast set for us, with a partial leg for me (gaining 10-12") to have the retrograde bend back...a large head piece with five sections to have facial movement...a voice/sound amplifier to create the booming voice and the actual recorded roar...and for her a 12 piece Baroque dress...and a chain to lead me by  :)

Going to take it to DragonCon...this has her excited, should be fun.

That sounds awesome, you'll have to start an off-topic and post pics.  :)  Either that or the beast can wield a saber for one photo and you can post it here.  :P

The Inverse Knight, otherwise known as Padawan Lucian, received his Initiate V3 LE. He is MOST pleased.

Good....lord....

How tall are you?

Your Shock LE picture makes me feel like such a little person; you've got some bear paws on you. ;D

Point for the pictures.

Both good pics! Anyone ever told you ya kinda look like Nathan from HEROES? Funny, I think there's a Sylar pic of Nero someplace on here.

(http://drstrange.nl/ultrasabers/IMG_0923s.jpg)

Repost of me with my Dark War Glaive.. bad picture. Will make better ones soon.

@ Kham
I'm 6'4" round 250lb, sometimes i have trouble with hight and weight req's but I'm still here.

@ Manroon, no but I've been told others.....

generally  like to use a more forward grip, but to show off the shock i was holding it near the rear.

Hi i just want to say that all of you that have pictures of you in full costume are great looking pictures I hope to get a saber soon and post pictures of myself as well in here.

A few from our recent shenanigans:

(http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f246/jodie0616/011.jpg?t=1331957251)

The purple one is glowing quite large and in charge!

That was the first thing I noticed too. The purple blade looks massive and imposing.

The lockup you're doing with the Orange and Green in the last pic is epic, it's really got that classic movie style lock-flare. Never could get mine to photo that way....

It looks like the light is reflecting off of the big square logo on his shirt, that's why it has the movie-like contact flash thing going on. Looks awesome though.

That be my Jedi Master shirt.

heres a costume i tried just for fun, a clone wars general with double blade. actually the only reason i did this was i wanted to paint an animated wollfe pack clone helmet
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm182/darthhart/006.jpg)

Nice one! I always like the clone trooper helmet :)

Sort of a spoiler to my big secret purchase at the con but.... here's me, Shy, and Spidey! (photo by MJ)

(http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h158/Manroon/Zi6_1813.jpg)

What saber is that Manroon?

I'll make a thread and let you know. I want to shoot some pics and a review video of it so I can REALLY show off my purchase. lol I'm kinda proud, Ultra told me that mine is the very first to be ordered with my specs, or in SY at all! :)

Awesome! Looks kinda like the Archon V2 but it has no black on it so I am quite curious.

actually looks like an aribter to me.

Same here.  That would be my guess, although I'm very intrigued by all these teasers Manroon is dropping!

Can't wait to see the review!

Shyguy had his colored Day Blade in and it looked really cool.

Manny, you are much taller than i thought you would be. ;D

Props again on your new saber.

What are all the parts you ordered?

True, Shy's dayblade was pretty sick. Photoed nice too!

Heh heh. Kham:"Commander Manroon, you're taller than I expected." lol But yeah, I used to get that alot.

Thank you. :)

Parts? Assuming that's directed at me, the only actual 'spare' part I ordered at the con was a Guardian Pommel, which will be coming in the mail at some point cause they ran out of spares at the show. lol Other than that, the special stuff of the new saber is really just that I was first to pick the options I chose on that saber. More detail in the review I plan to put up tonight! ;)

Oh nvm, you mentioned that you had a bumch of MHS parts but I know what from now.  ;)

*is confuzzled* Hmmm... well, I can think of two things I have loads of MHS parts in right now. One's Onichan, and the other is a secret project of mine. Was it one of those?

Maybe the secret project also the parts from your new SY; which i am so totally fragging stoked about. ;D

Boss, what colour is that?  PO?  Looks flippin fantastic.

nope its blazing red  8) i could never get the blade to show up red properly on my camera so it looks orange :P

Yeah, I know what you mean. 

I wonder if this pic is what PO or FO actually look like in real life?

The color is floating around in there some where.

This is the best picture of what it looks like I can find.

PO seems to be Doritos colored to me in the 'good' photos. I'm sort of curious to see if it really is or not... lol

MmmMmMmmmmm....  Snacksaber.

My Blazing Red Dark War Glaive sith blade is called 'Brisingr' (Eragon Ancient language based on Norse meaning 'Fire')... And as such I called my Guardian Blue Guardian 'Adurna' (water). So I now needed a green name from teh same list. I picked 'Haldthin' (thornapple) for my Consular Green Bellicose.

Nice pictures.

That last one has an awesome effect from the saber; there is a strong silhouette that guides the eye to the saber.

Is she holding a Bellicose?

Yes... just arrived in. A Consular Green Bellicose with brass button and Green AV.

Thanks Guys.

Anyways here a group picture of my friends and I from WonderCon.  We did Masquerade that night. =) My first official performance with the group too. We ended up winning three awards too. All of us are using UltraSabers of type from a Dominix V1 to the new Prophecy V3

(http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/aa444/shyguy3000/546451_348898975147386_167797379924214_904577_1032744442_n.jpg)
Oh yeah I am the one on the bottom Right with the Dark Shock =)  

Does one of your friends have a Manicore??

Guy on the left's Manticore looks surprisingly good in AB. That the same guy who was trying to get me to join Dark Empire as Qui-Gon? He was cool. Also, Nice Dr. Doom mask there Shy. I can't get over what a good Sith mask that one makes, much better than all the Iron Man masks I was seeing for awhile. lol

Yup, the Guy on the left that Moderator Manroon pointed out, it a sweet hilt and I bet it look/feel awesome as a staff.

And its actually in GB, he might had been using his blue day in the show, not totally sure

yeah most of us are in more then one club so don't be surprise if you see us hanging around each other tables at cons or other special events that we might be a part of

Funny, at our practice session yesterday, a couple of us were joking around with the guy that made the masks for us how they can pass as Dr. Doom mask too lol. but yeah these were inspired by the old republic game actually.  

I see it now! I missed the different mouth and painted markings before. Those are nice work. Darn, now you got me thinking about my flight helmet again... lol

I asked knowing the guy a the left had one. Sorry if I didn't make it clear.

Great looking group...I am green with envy and all that stuff  :)

Clean work on the costumes and fantastic continuity.

Quick thought...did the Jedi in the middle make it to the bathroom in time...it looks like he was going to blow an O-ring   :o

LMAO

Thanks for the kind words. I'll be sure to pass it along to my friend who made the costumes for the group. =)

Having some fun with the family and my girlfriend. Me with VA, girlfriend and sister with SRD, other sister with GB, little brothers with BR and GB.

Friend with VA, I'm duel wielding AS and BR

It is most definitely not that green. Cameras can never pick up the color right :P

Don't take this the wrong way, blkwolf, but in that pic, you kind of look like Kyle Gass...

I was checking out the Kyle Gass pics and I would say only in the most superficial ways...

But the outfit!  Well done and the whole looks good.

You may want to deal with the Sith weed invasion to your lawn...damn those dark side plants!

Who is he sorry m not up to speed
Just did a Google OH HELL NO  ;) !!!!!!

And on that note... a few pics of me with my Sentinel Yellow Arbiter, and my Friend's VA Consular. Gotta tell you guys, those colors dual wield together SICK.

Oh yes, I love this new saber.  8)

Nice oes been thinking of going that route

Dude, you need to start taking bigger pics. XD

I second this. I love big pictures!

Just thought I post this since Neither are members.

(http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/555382_142416609221149_100003584337528_163640_331251277_n.jpg)

My Brother-in-Law with his AB Aeon that his Brother bought him a few weeks ago from Afghanistan during his deployment.

Agreed.  My dual wield set up is an Initiate V2 LE in SY w/ initiate blade and an Aeon V3 LE in DVA with an ultra edge initiate blade to redden the DVA a bit.  Reminds me of a sun/moon sort of thing, were I in the habit of naming my sabers (I would be, I just haven't thought of good names yet).  Almost makes me wish I'd gone with a Darker hilt for the DVA but I like the matching LE's.

(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y126/jimmyleepowell/JLP_2672.jpg)

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought it, but Yellow and Purple match really well together. Much better than my FO and CG combo I did once, that one was too halloweeney, but this... this just...... works. It shouldn't, but it does. REALLY well. I just wish the VA would photo like VA. lol

As for the bigger pics.... normally I DO post bigger pics! It's just that all the ones of me are usually taken by my friend on his phone, which takes crappy tiny pics. My iPhone does good, so when I get him to use that we get bigger pics, and when I use my real camera to take pics of him or someone at a con... that one takes normal sizes. (My friend needs a better phone XD)

Really?  We couldn't tell  :P  My brother used to dual wield purple and yellow in KOTOR IIRC... it was indeed a cool combo.

I'm getting an SRD grab bag soon, so perhaps I'll post a pic here of me with it  8)

That you should!

For now, I'll post this one of my brother and his friend:

My brother is on the left with his DVA Bane.  His friend has an AB Aeon I believe.

Love how that turned out, did you use any special settings to capture the blade like that? or just point and click?

I actually didn't take that one, it was one of his friends.  Pretty sure if you use a longer shutter speed it will do something like that, though.

I bet that DVA Bane looks wicked!

Shutter speed will do it, but dont make it too long or else you'll lose the effect and may get a big battle scene.

(http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa215/snipercartman/6e5e8528.jpg)

Don't think I'll go with any other color than DVA, blade looks so sweet.

Here's one of my brother and I dueling near his dorm.  He has his Dark Violet Bane (though it doesn't look Dark Violet here) and I have my Consular Green Consular.

Archon V2 w/War Glaive emitter?

I hate the way iPhoto works.  I end up just emailing the photos to myself and then uploading them.

Nice pics though!

Cheers.

Photobucket has a free app that can be installed on the iPhone that's fairly easy to use...

or you could just drag to desktop, I've never had to email....


....waiting for my raven. will post size comparisons with my lib and shock-el.

As promised, just a few pics in size comparison.
Starting off with the raven in Blazing Red,

then with my Liberator,

then all three in hand, yes my hands are large(keep that in mind)

IMHO the raven dwarfs the liberator and shock.
perfect for a two handed saber.

comments are welcome.

Excellent pictures, but I must say - holy crap you've got big hands. 

but why are they so small?   
the pics not my hands.....

it has to do with how you posted them. but you made them clickable so they take you to the flicker pics.

go here to read up on it

Fixed them for you.  Those are some nice sabers!

Nice pictures :D

A few pictures of my new sun & moon themed saberstaff comprised of a DVA Dark Initiate V2 LE and SY (golden orangey) Initiate V2 LE.  Some pictures of it assembled as soon as I can get outdoors at night.  I absolutely love it as a dual wield short blade pair so far.  The colors work very well together, and my smaller frame really likes the handling. 

Flash on, for the hilts.

Don't let the name fool you, DVA is briiiiiight.

Shutter speed magic, to approximate the true colors.

nice pairing xan, yeah that dva looks way brighter than i expected

At the risk of these looking like bad facebook self-shots, here is me with my first saber: a Dominix v2 in SY.

I am SOOOOOO happy with my first saber. Just unwrapped it an hour ago and I am sooo pleased.

Those totally would look like bad facebook self shots, except you have a lightsaber... which makes them cool.  That saber looks really badass.

NOICE!

It's very Yellow. ;d

This is one of my Senior Pictures. I don't know if this one specifically will be in my school's yearbook, but one or two of the at least 20 others will be! I used my AS Prophecy and my VA Liberator, as white and purple are my school colors. I love how the back of the hallway is white while the front is purple!

Oh yeah, I also used this for the Facebook raffle lol.

more pics......

Damn, I just love the Raven in Blazing Red.

Just so...gleefully evil... :o

lol gleefull and evil really dont go together, though i suppose Carnage from spiderman sorta fits that, and the Joker

but its just so wrong

it does look pretty epic though

I love the wrap job on the liberator!

Dominx v3 in SY....cept i have a colour filter in there because it was actually coming up very very orange.

Dude, this is sick...nuff said. You look like you're ready to fight off some drop-bears.  ;D

drop bears? naw flesheaters on tython

This is not mine, I found this online but I thought it was a great lightsaber hilt. Maybe Ultra could make this design in the near future.

nice pics! have a light side point to start you on your journey, and welcome to forums...

Thanks, I gave you one as well.

Nice pics guys! I leave you with my raffle pic:

man it was a good night, and we ended up drawing a crowd of about a dozen people, vids should be on the video forum soon

Great pics guys...looks awesome!

Just imagine if all of us met at the same park one night with our lightsabers...think of the crowed that would bring.  :o

........I can't imagine....that would be sooooo many people....

And soooooo much fun!

Yes it would be!  ;D

It would look like the "deceived" cutscenes from the old republic...

There was a point where we were working towards a "forum member poster" that had pics of all of us on it.  The idea was to produce something like this:

(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k514/Kalibos11/untitled.jpg)

But with the members here.  It's the next best thing probably (since we all live so far away from each other).  Actually, I found the link:

http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=2545.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=2545.0)

I think the idea kinda just died out...

Thank you.



Well, I think that's because the guy who was organizing it kinda dropped off the face of the earth....

That'd do it!  Perhaps we can bring that idea back to life...

I think bringing that back would be great! I never saw that thread but it sounds like a great idea.

Ok so how to move forward?

I can make this happen, but, there would need to be some measure of guidelines

I could see three sections within the poster...

Light
Grey
Dark

Regardless of the character/personal title chosen, your picture would need to fall within the three.

Second we need to recognize that is is going to be a hot mess without artist direction, this I have experience with.

So for this to work the pictures provided would need to be available in a particular format, fall within a certain scale range, and most importantly meet a certain guideline for content.

No gonzo pics, no clown make-up, etc.

We would need to decide, in costume or at least black white/brown/black...or in plain clothes.

I would think a poll on the issue is required to move forward.

It sounds great but seriously without specific direction and guidelines it has the potential to be a nightmare.

Consider the lighting issues alone...everyone takes a pic in different light and the pic needs to be scaled, light range fixed, and cropped...so that is an hour with downloading, setting, and saving...before it is even considered to be placed on the poster...so call it 2 hours for each picture.

25 members @2 hrs = 50 hrs to prep to a basic poster

Most likely 100 members @2 hrs = 200 hrs

That is before any ships, background work, or any lighting effects...figure another 100 hrs

So a reasonable "bid" would be 300 hrs of labor...IF...everyone stays within the parameters set in motion.

Figure half do not for whatever reason, email back and forth, delays, etc. the normal stuff one deals with on a collective project, add another 100-150 hrs.

This means the project of collecting, formatting, and collaging is looking to be dangerously close to 450-500 hrs.

Figure 2 hrs a day 4 days a week, 8-10, call it 10 hrs a week...45-50 weeks or close to a year.

Now it could be done in a couple weeks by someone without a daily commitment like a job, family, life, etc.

So it is a doable project with great potential, but yikes man.

I suspect the maybe a series of smaller project posters might be more reasonable.

Groupings of 10-20 members...a couple weeks of processing and a poster...then onto another...once we get 12, combine into a calendar  :) 

I like the smaller subsets of posters idea. But how to seperate it? Fighting style maybe?

Just do 7 posters representing the 7 different styles?

Fighting styles is s good thought but the vast majority of the members claim mixtures and blends or that they switch styles 5-6 times during a fight, so they would be a tough one...but a good one.

Like a Motivational Poster...those that want to be on the given style could submit photos to be included...that is a fun idea.

Also...dark Jedi, grey Jedi, light Jedi, sith, smugglers/pilots, etc.

Maybe by like color sabers...not the exact color but hue ranges...reds, yellows, blue, etc.

East coast, West coast, South, North, International  :)

I need all my Sentinels together for a Propaganda poster. :D

That would be awesome.

Me on the left, my best friend on the right. Damn, I love making pics with my Raven  ;D

Poster project: we SO should get it going again! I have an idea for how it might be done a little easier, though it might seem a tad harsh..... why not make a requirement for it? IE You have to have X number of posts or been a member for X length of time. I say this because as we know, there are plenty of members who, while great guys and gals, fall off the face of the forum after a month or two and wouldn't be around to even see the finished product more than likely, nor would any of us viewing the finished poster weeks, months, even years down the line (no offense) remember who they were after a long length of time (humans DO forget things, remember), where as members with, for example, the 4 digit post counts and long histories of active membership such as Nero, Duff, TJ, or a number of other people whose screen names everyone recognizes have proven that they are obsessed and crazy enough to spend daily time on the forums for a long, long time, and would likely still be here and be known to most other members after the thing is done and posted. And of course, once one is finished.... depending on how it's put together, when another newer member reached the requirement and asked to be added, new image clusters could be tacked onto the sides without TOO much trouble.... in my innocent and unknowning assumptions anyways. lol

Opinions? :)

That would exclude me then. :D I've been here quite awhile, and I'm sure most people know me... at least I hope they do. :(

SWEET I AM MENTIONED SECOND!   I AM # 2 I AM # 2!!!  Although that means I have to take a recent photo but I am still afraid of it stealing my soul!(hate having my pic taken, plus I'sa UGLY! )   ;D....   Still a good Idea though.    

Of course we do....you still haunt our nightmares!  ;D

I don't think anyone should really be excluded. I would love to be more active on here but I work a lot and don't always have time to get on. I think it would be kind of unfair to exclude someone from a community project. I think anyone should really be in it as long as they stick with it and are currently active.

But I think they should probably grouped in light side, grey and dark side. Then on top of that, they could all be mini grouped as in 10-15 members. Then once all the groups are completed they can be placed into one picture.

Woooo! I haunt your nightmares! *begins to speak in an evil voice* Excellent....

:D

Attention people interested in the mass forum pictures! I started a new thread to continue the conversation about the idea so we aren't blowing up this thread.

Here it is!: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=6556.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=6556.0)

I like this.. count me in...

Region might be a good one.

nice!!! ;D

Just to help get this back on topic...

Me with my red Dominix V2 fighting my buddy, who has my green Dominix V1 and my apprentice's blue Aeon.  Lightsaber fights on the beaches of Wildwood at night?  Awesome.

Nero... Can i have your car?

Hahaha nope!  I love that car... lately I've taken to calling it Wedge, or Red 2.

Ooh I think I'm going to have to start calling Betsy (my poor neon) the Falcon!

"She'll hold together. Come on baby hold together."

Poor thing isn't sounding too good these days when trying to pass people.
