In order to satisfy the Frenchies around here, I’ll do my review in 2 languages.
So, I'm really gonna do my review now.
Je vais donc réellement commencer mon test

So, on the 26th of June, I ordered a Dark Standard Issue Battle Staff (you can see further details here). It wasn't my first choice, but since the SI is discontinued, I decided to switch to the dark sided version of this saber...

Le 26 juin, j’ai commandé un Dark Standard Issue Battle Staff (plus de détails par là). Ce n’était pas mon premier choix, mais vu que le Standard Issue normal est en rupture de stock, j’ai décidé de me tourner vers le coté obscur de ce sabre...

I made my choice of Heavy Grade Ultra Edge blades, and two different colors : Artic Blue (my favorite), and Guardian Blue. The reason I chosen to order a staff was, in fact, to use the two sabers separately : one for me, and one for a sparring partner, cause Ultra's sabers are rare in France...

J’ai choisi de commander des lames Ultra Edge Heavy Grade (CàD ultra solides et hyper lumineuses) dans 2 couleurs différentes : Artic Blue (ma couleur favorite) et Guardian Blue (le même qu’Anakin). La raison pour laquelle j’ai choisi de commander un sabre double est simple : je vais les utiliser séparément : un pour moi, et un pour un partenaire d’entrainement, car ce genre de sabres est difficile à trouver en France...

I. The box/La boîte

My sabers arrived in this box :
Mes sabres sont arrivés dans cette boîte :


A bit smashed, however I thought the content was indemn... But I was partly wrong :p
Un petit peu abimée, cependant je pensais que le contenu était intact. Mais j’avais partiellement tort :


You can see here that the film wrapped inside the blade is a little bit damaged. Also, the tip unglue 5 minutes after I opened the box, but I fixed it.
Vous pouvez voir ici que le film enroulé à l’intérieur de la lame est un peu abîmé. De plus, le bout s’est décollé 5 minutes après que j’ai ouvert la boîte, mais je l’ai réparé.



Here is the effect of the damage : the blade looks less...cool
Vous pouvez voir ici l’effet du dommage : la lame a l’air moins... cool


II. Outside aspect/Aspect extérieur :


Only one thing to say : They are awesome !!! The sabers look durable, they breath durability and darkness...
Juste une chose chose à dire : ils sont incroyables !!! Les sabres ont l’air solides, ils respirent la solidité et les ténebres...



The sames, but on and with the light off. (First : AB, 2d : GB)
Les mêmes, mais allumés et avec la lumière éteinte. (1er : Artic Blue, 2ème : GB)



With lights on
Avec les lumières allumées



Right : AB ; left : GB
Droite : AB ; gauche : GB



AB



GB



Without Blade
Sans lame


The two hilts together
Les 2 manches ensembles

III. Inside the beast / A l’intérieur de la bète


The LED, inside the Mirror
La LED au sein du miroir


The pommels, a little bit hard to screw at the beginning
Les pommeaux, un peu dur à visser au début


Battery pack, inside the hilt
Les piles, à l’intérieur du manche


Batteries, outside (4AAA)
les piles sorties (4 AAA)


The electroniques
Les circuits électriques


IV. Duelling with it/Se battre avec

So, I don’t have pictures yet, but I will do a little video about it later ^^ Anyway, It feels great, and reliable. It’s longer than the bokken I used to fight with, but it also... well, it’s a lightsaber Cheesy
Je n’ai pas encore de photos, mais je ferais une petite vidéo plus tard ^^ Dans tous les cas, ils sont supers, et fiables. Plus long que les bokkens avec lesquels j’avais l’habitude de me battre, mais ils sont également plus.... erf, ce sont des sabres lasers, quoi Cheesy

V. Conclusion :

In fact, those sabers are just awesome. It’s the best investment I’ve ever made !!!! For 140€ for 2 sabers (customs and VAT included), it’s an honor to have a part of my childhood in my hands !
En fait, ces sabres sont justes géniaux ! C’est le meilleur investissement que j’ai jamais fait ! Pour 140€ les 2 (douanes+TVA inclus), c’est un honor pour moi que d’avoir toute une part de mon enfance entre les mains !!!

Only "con" : UPS... (too expensive, and the blade was damaged...)


EDIT: After few hours of use, my coupler isn't working anymore... The hilt can't be screwed on it, only on one side. Have you experienced it ?

Congratulations to you and your friend!  Luckily you got blue dominated saber colors, they burn so bright the slightly damaged films sometimes go unnoticed.  Enjoy your sabers and make some videos for us to enjoy!

Nice detailed review and also writing it in french was a plus for other members. It made me feel smarter trying to read it in french.  Cheesy

Héhé, thank you guys !
In fact, this topic has 2 targets :
1. Show to the world how awesome are Ultrasabers
2. Convince as many french people to buy those sabers, in order to create a Jedi council here !

Nice sabers, indeed, I bought two for my sisters and they really are great ! Well, sometime it's hard to unscrew the pommels, but it never take long.

And for the saber users, I think I'm doing my fair trade of this objective Wink

I hope we will meet at some conv' in France (I don't really have time right now, so ...).

Glad you like them!  Good review man, I personally love my dark standard issue staff as well.  It's a solid weapon.  Enjoy!

Excellent review, I didn't care for the dark standard until your review...it must have been the extra camera angles.
