Saber Forum

So I realized the other day that it's been quite some time since I've shown off my collection, and since the last time it's undergone several revisions.  For the most part I've trimmed it down, selling or gifting several sabers over the past year or so, but there has been the occasional addition as well.  Regardless, here are a few pics showing my entire collection as of now!

You'll probably recognize some as current US hilts, and some of you may be able to identify some older retired US models as well.

As a bonus, here are a few pics of my fiancee's collection!

She's developing quite the arsenal there... makes me proud ;)

Well that's it.  Let me know if anyone wants more info about a specific saber, or perhaps more pics, and I can oblige here or via PM.

Nice collection Nero! Short and simple. Kinda cool your fiancé has the Graflex and you have the Luke ROTJ. Just like Luke and Mara!

What's the one on the end on the right side? I don't recognize that one.
Nice collection!

Diggin' what I'm assuming to be an older model of the Archon or Arbiter on the far right in the first pic. Point to you.

Thanks!  Since I'm a fan of that Luke ROTJ style hilt, it made perfect sense to give the Graflex to my sassy little badass lady.  She even dyed her hair red one time (and she's hinted that she would do so again for a cosplay!)


That's actually the one I'm not really able to discuss lol, it's basically the only thing in my collection that's not from Ultrasabers (other than the Force FX hilts).  It's very similar to the Luke ROTJ style of saber, obviously why I have it haha.  Actually the dark PVC hilt on the far left of my lady's collection, in VA, is the old Archon V1.  Gotta love the classics!

That last one on his is neither. That's a Jacen Solo hilt. I forget from who but he probably didn't want to mention names so I won't either. Diggin the Redemption though same with the green Dark Prophecy. US, bring back the Redemption and Oppressor. Lol.

Nice lineup you have there, Master Nero! I'm especially digging that yellow Consular!

Is "digging" the new official word of approval?

(Trendsetter over here, what what.)

Thanks for the discretion ;)  The Redemption is a great hilt, this one I personally acquired as a stunt and installed FX sound in.  Hearkens back to the days when US installed those boards, before the vastly superior Obsidian was born!


Thanks man!  Despite selling off a number of hilts, I just love that one too damn much to part with it.  I consider yellow its main color, despite having BR and CG MLS units for it, because I have this idea in my mind of yellow being a sort of "grey Jedi" color.  Since the Consular is patterned off Qui-Gon's hilt, I figured it made a unique but appropriate fit.

Oh, and I realized later that I neglected to show the Dark Prophecy's green AV switch.  It's not a huge deal, but I personally love the AV switches US offers.  They give another customization option and can seriously accent the blade color if paired well.

Dude, still awaiting your overall impressions and/or review of your Jacen Solo saber over at the other side.  I'll be acquiring one myself (it's already spoken for and it's been commissioned for a full install) in the next 4-12 weeks and I want to know the minute details  ;).  No one has yet put up a review.....

Thanks for the PM jedicri. Point.

My Scorpion shipped today, that brings my US collection up to 6. I'm trying to get a nice rainbow of colors like yours Nero.

I'll get on it!


It's nice to have a variety!  I definitely lean towards green (in fact the build I'm looking to do is going to have green as one of its colors), but I like having the option of using a different color every so often.  Actually that Consular has a green MLS unit as well, I just didn't want to overdo the green factor ;)

There's such thing as too much green?  ???

Nice collection Nero! Man, you aren't kidding either, you really have thinned it down. lol You have excellent collection pruning skills though. ;)

And yes eerockk.... there is such a thing as too much green.

I am aware this thread hasn't been posted in for a very long time. But sine Nero is still active, I got to ask. What IS that saber that is the fourth one to the left? To me it looks like a silver overlord however it has the wrong emitter and no covertec wheel.

Probably this one:

(thanks to Moderator Big Boss and his "History of Ultra Sabers" thread)

I as of right now am unable to watch any youtube videos as my computer crashes every time i try. The problem is the software is to old and can't handle streaming videos(Or something like that i don't remember what the computer guy said). I can't get past three seconds on anything.

Ah.  It's apparently called the "Redemption."  It's from 2010 and appears to be one they no longer produce.  At least, that's what it looks like to me.

Hmm, I'll google that. Hey Nero, do you still have it?

Yeah its a Redemption. I always wanted one myself too. US team bring both those back :P

Thanks for sharing those Nero! +/-1 All streamlined for battle with the exception of a activation box or 2. ;) Great collection.

Unfortunately no, I ended up selling that one, but it is indeed an old Redemption.  Great hilt!  Funny, but my whole collection is quite different from this old pic (although I still have my original PVC Dominix and my beloved Dark Prophecy).  At this point, it's a big mix from various sources, so I'd rather not post a pic here - kinda bad form for a Mod to break the rules ;)  If anyone is really interested for whatever reason, just shoot me a PM and I can send pics.

Sweet collection and they say money can't buy happiness you seem very happy thanks for sharing the pictures

Whoever said money can't buy happiness never shopped here.  ;D

Great collection Naster Nero. :)

I'ts neat seeing some of hilts that aren't available any longer.

Loving your Chosen One - and wife has a Graflex...hmmm ;)

Actually, that was a MR Vader ESB, the pics were taken before the Chosen One was out.  It seems like an awesome hilt though, I've considered getting one myself!

A testament to US's design then eh?

That's the ultimate pairing IMO. :)
