Would a 32 inch blade be light enough for a Dark initate hilt?
It certainly would, especially with a midgrade blade. |

Gday guys, just a quick hello from a new Aussie member. Like so many I have been a SW fan for quite a while and have mainly fed my addiction with SW Lego lol. Always liked the idea of light sabers but local shops only ever carried the cheap plastic kind which did not entice me.Howards saber art on the wall in his bedroom (Big Bang Theory) got my thinking recently that there must be some kind of decent quality light sabers available. So I decided to do some searching. A couple of days later and I have two force FX sabers on order and have also just purchased an US Guardian with all the trimmings (the wife does not need to know this!).So I am eagerly looking forward to my new purchases arriving and learing a thing or two from everyone here at the forum.

Welcome! You get props for referencing Big Bang Theory (great show) as well as attempting to hide your purchases from your lady (I've attempted the same on occasion). I think you'll be very excited when those sabers come in. |

Welcome to the forum, good luck with the wife not finding out lol, and try not to tear apart your ForceFX sabers by dueling them against your UltraSaber, the Guardian looks amazing! |

Yes I have come to realise that whilst the Force FX is a good replica for adults you can't get too excited with them. Will see how the Guardian goes and maybe get a pair of duelling US’s if I get keen. I am sure the wife will want to hit me with something when she does find out lol. |

Good Morning SaberForum.com, I figured I would go ahead and make my first post on here to introduce myself. I just joined this forum and place my first order for a grab bag lightsaber just the other day. After seeing all the excitment others had with this I figured what the hay! I went totally random on this and I eagerly awaiting to see what I might receive in the mail. I went with the grab bag to give me the first glimpse at an UltraSaber lightsaber before going all in. I am currently torn between the Raven and War Glaive models, I love the claws on these models. I have a couple of MR lightsabers, but after seeing this website, the reviews from everyone, and the YouTube videos here I was SOLD. I had been eyeballing this site for the last week and decided it was time to take the plunge. I am getting ready to hit the big "40" on June 10th, BUT I still feel like a big kid at heart. I have loved Star Wars ever since I can remember, seeing my first film "Return of the Jedi". I live in North Carolina, ex-Navy (Shellback) and currently going back to school for a degree in Criminal Justice. I am married to a beautiful woman who shares my enthusiasm for any and everything Star Wars. She has accompanied me to many overnight showings of the Prequels Thats about it in a nutshell. I am excited to be apart of your community Oh! I WILL make a post as to what I got as soon as my saber arrives! |

Greetings all. Decided to check in at the welcome desk (thread, whatever). Only discovered that there was a market for affordable custom sabers a few days ago. Just ordered my first saber (well my WIFE's first saber  ) within the last hour. Really looking forward to handling one of these in person because i've been geeking out constantly over what i've only seen for the last couple days. It gets distracting when i'm trying to concentrate on cooking (i work in a restaurant). I'm looking forward to being here especially because from what i've seen so far, people here seem very level headed, which i usually don't see anywhere. |

The Jedi are a level headed bunch, and the rest of us... well we just hide it better than most.  (Welcome to the addiction.) |

Yeah, pretty much everyone on here is level-headed with very few, if any, exceptions (although we do have crazy people like me ). Flaming is moderated rather well and isn't normally seen anyways. Also, welcome to the addiction  |

welcome to the addiction mate,
part of the reason everyone is so level headed.....half the mods are resident masters, and no one really wants to be on the recieving end of a lightsaber beating from them :-D
seriously though, you will find these forums are a great place to hang out, everyone helps each other out, and there is a lot of constructive critiquing of form and costumes
so, by way of official geek welcome
May the force be with you...(just not the dark side, their cookies are poison)

Welcome to the madness!!
I can attest to what everyone else here has said. The cookies ARE poison (they're made by ewoks), the jedi are so level headed that it drives me bat crazy, and Krys IS the funnest person around.
On a serious note, please don't be afraid to jump into threads that you see. I came in a total noob (I think I still am, honestly) and I have never felt so at ease and comfortable. I even met someone from here and did some saber training/dueling. Let me tell you... these things can take a beating!!
Anyways, welcome.
