I walk within both and neither...

I can honestly say I never expected a Raven in any color but Blazing Red or RGB.
A blue or violet Raven seems very interesting since it's such a Sithy hilt.
But who am I to talk? My first Saber's gonna be a BR AEON LE. So I guess mine is the opposite of her saber. XD

Great choices, really. A Raven and Belicose for flash and style, and an Aeon for simple dueling pleasure make a great combo.
I guess the only warning I have to give is that I've looked into Blue LEDs before: they're BLINDING. So this could be either an advantage or a weakness in a duel, depending on if you're the one looking into it or not. XD

Woo, I'm picking up this order in about 15 mins from UPS Smiley such quick shipping to get to Perth, Australia. Five working days!

Can't wait to crack the box open when I get home and test them out. Although I'm guessing I need an adapter for an Australian plug conversion? I can pick one up tomorrow if need be. So excited! It's time for my first batch of ultrasabers!

Ok, just a quick question. I got them out of the packaging (very pleased with them by the way, I'll review very soon), and started lightly dueling the raven and bellicose. After just two hits the tip of the raven blade came flying off. Is this normal? We weren't hitting them very hard at all. The weird thing is, the raven didn't look like the tip had been glued like the bellicose had. I then put the tip back on and it spins around and isn't secure at all. Does this mean they forgot to glue it or something?

Next thing, what do I do to reattach it? Is there a special type of glue that I use?

Thanks a lot, and I will review them soon!

It happens from time to time.  I think it varies pretty much, like you said the Raven's blade might not have been as secure as the Bellicose's was.  I personally haven't had this happen from anything except extreme abuse (I hit a tree stump while I was spinning full speed) so clearly you get those outliers.

For glue you can use any kinda superglue type stuff, gorilla glue for instance.  I personally went to my local hardware store, found glue, and specifically picked a superglue that worked with polycarbonate (that's what the blades are made of).

Fortunately for you the guys JUST POSTED a youtube video about reattaching blade tips!  If the video isn't showing up just go to the lower right of my post you'll see links for small and large.  Just click one and it should show.

Ah cool, cheers guys. So this glue would be fine then? http://gorillaglue.com.au/

Hopefully I don't mess it up Tongue Its strange because the raven didn't look like it had any glue on the tip or blade at all. I guess that's better as nothing will get in the way when I glue it myself. Review coming soon! (hopefully by weekend)
