My new saber stuff came in a UPS box after all the other day so that wouldn't really count for me Tongue Next to do is your Prophecy if you haven't already unless I missed it like always Tongue


I'm sorry you don't have a proper box, mate, maybe next time! Cheesy Just don't be jealous when I say I'll get another one possibly tomorrow!

My boxes recently became too damaged from spinning and dueling so I had to recycle them. One of these days I'll get more boxes (and sabers but so what)

LOL! Great review Medwyn, very informative. Tell me....do you like your Cardboard Brown Flash on Clash? How about your printed shipping label AV switch?

The shipping label switch is fantastic! It has a dim sensor and - imagine! - it gets darker as it gets dark outside. At midnight you can't see it at all while it shines at noon! Cheesy

Ha Ha.   Grin   Roll Eyes  points from me as well for the giggle.  I am so waiting for it to get dark out.  Want to take full advantage of my special US box and test out if perhaps you two are embellishing the features just a tad.  I hope not.   Wink

I have just been pointed  in the direction of this review. Im so sorry I missed it at the time.
This is without doubt the best review I have ever seen.
medwyn's review should be held up as a lesson in how to do a review in the correct manner.

I feel I must just add a technical update to this otherwise perfect review of the 46" x 4"x 4" Box. I can only assume that box related technology has moved on in the 6 months since the review went live. Evidenced by my unboxing today via the emmiter end. The internal components were very tightly packed.Weighing in at over 4 kg's it seemed improbable that all the internals of the box could indeed be present.
But yes they were all there using a combination of small bubble type material & clear sticking tape were 4 .yes Four full size lightsabers(one of which sported a whopping 40" blade) plus another full size 36" extra blade, a coupler, a vc2plus charger & a blade plug.. Amazing Box technology, that should be applauded.

After all that the box is still in full functioning box order.

Thanks to medwyn again for the original Video review.

Great review Medwyn, very informative, +1 LS point!
Just have to ask, is your box the V3 or the V4? I received mine Wednesday (with the optional Shock sabre), and I noticed that mine had more shipping labels than yours - maybe it's a new model!



Glad you like your box, I'm going to make some display shelves for mine, and for future box purchases!

Oooh... your box looks so pristine and then all those designer labels for the extra bling.  Shocked  Jeez ... a RGB and master switch with an emitter window !  Definitely this year's upgraded model... lucky you !!!!   Cool  Roll Eyes

Now I am rather confused.
Was you box a grabbag? or did you order it with the extra labels?
I'm going to go out on a limb here & suggest that what you have could be a rare v5 box with single saber removable insert.
You can see that my box

Only has a 2 label setup. Similar to medwyn's but with a yellow/gold accented label around the middle of the box in addition to the seemingly standard emmiter label.
Not sure where I stand on box tech now!

Oh & another picture of my box(labels front)

Note the optional wife in dressing gown ducking her head(top right spotty.Gown that is not wife) who I would have cropped from picture had she not screamed at me to do just that.

Food for thought indeed.I notice that the faded brown colour does seem standard throughout the range though.

My latest order arrived holding two sabers inside (Prophecy & Aeon), amongst other things, and seems to be of a still different configuration.

Notice the label on the side of the hilt, rather than in-line with the rest of the labels.  I wonder if that's because of the weight of the internals, the nature of the internals, or because it had to come to Hoth.



Here's a close-up of one of the emitter labels:
