Bane's Heart + Violet Amethyst + Dark Violet Amethyst.

[Kham-Ryn Kurios]

Kham,
Light side points your way...

Thanks for answering my request for this.  I've always wanted to see the three together.  This confirmed my choice....
I just placed (literally) an order for a Guardian in DVA, Obsidian w/Blue AV, UE blade.  Can't wait!

Much appreciated and shall reciprocate.

No problemo, always happy to help.

I'm glad I could help and hope that you're happy with your purchase when it arrives, from what I've seen it's a fantastic hilt; One that I would really like to get.

Gotta admit, I paused when I saw the VA in the dark, very nice... but I think I'll prefer the DVA in person.  I had a chance to get a Windu MR for a good price but I've never been 100% with that color or VA, not that they're bad, just not 'my' ideal purple... once the DVA pics started showing up here, I knew that was it but being a little ocd-ish, I've always wanted a side by side (by side) to confirm my thoughts.
  
Psyched about this order.  I started squirreling money away last fall (after my DragonCon/Archon purchase) for a Consular and then they released the Guardian and that became the goal... now I'm getting both!  I ordered the Guardian earlier today and I've just got to clear up a raffle question with Deep and (hopefully) tomorrow night I'll place the Consular order.  I already have a Phantasm Initiate V2 (CG/GB) & an Archon V2 (SRD/Obsidian/GreenAV).  Once I have my reward points ready, I'll be cashing in all of them for a DIV3 (I think).  I'm going to have to build a saber rack now!  Such problems!

btw, anyone know if the coupon raffle code should appear on an order confirmation?  I entered it but didn't see confirmed anywhere... I have an email in to Deep but just wondering if someone knows offhand.

One more thing, thanks to Kham and everyone on this board, it's a great forum for a posting-shy saber enthusiast to interact in... nothing but helpful or at the very least 'non-snarky' replies.

First - The compulsion to buy sabers grows the moment you get one in your hand; After mine kicked in I started a "Saber Addicts Anonymous" thread.

Second - Thank you, I'm happy to help when I can and I think I can speak for everyone here.

It's terrifying being new to forums and seeing titles saying "Grand Master, Master Chief Jedi Sith King" (That was exaggerated but that's how I felt. lol), Then you see their replies to some posts and get scarred away.

I'm stuck again on my new blade color. I want a purple saber, but I think the VA is a bit too pink for me. I already have a guardian blue saber so I don't want a saber that is almost the same blue. I want a darker purple. Then again Bane's heart looks great, but so does Sentinel yellow. Dang I'm just so picky when it comes to color

It's difficult, I know.

I'm going to say SY because I am biased. But the VA is not as pink in person as it is in pictures. I wish I could fly to everyone's house with a case of lightsabers so you can all see the color you want before you get it.

You can always use a filter to get exactly what you want, I know it's not as satisfying as just choosing a color.

It's definitely hard to explain to people, and I totally feel for you JediGuardian.  I've been an Ultrasabers addict... erm I mean "fan" for a long time now and I STILL do the same thing with new colors.

If this helps at all, the DVA MLS unit I ordered for my brother's Bane ended up being a nice deep purple.  The regular VA is a good in between color though, I highly doubt you'll find it too pink.

Here's my recommendation - get regular VA and a set of Lee color filters.  Since the VA is an RGB led it can be tweaked using color filters, giving you more blue or more red depending on your tastes.  I think that will be a good setup for you.

If no one minds me asking, this seems to be a good thread, when ordering the DVA, does it matter which of the premium colors you select? VA in particular perhaps? Thhank you.

Yes, you'd select the Violet Amethyst option and request "Dark Violet" as a color.

Thank you Master Nero; I wasn't sure how to answer.

Point.

[Darth Vrenen]

Thank you very much Master Nero and, thank you, Kham, for the brilliant pictures! I've been slowly deciding on my ideal first saber and Dark Violet is an exquisite color, I believe!

From both of us, You are very welcome.

Aways happy to help.

Im going to be getting some store credit soon with US and im planning on my wife's saber, she wants Bane's Heart.  so ive got a couple of questions:

1) does BH stay a pink hue no matter how charged the batteries are?

2) to get the BH color, do i need to order the color it is associated with? (Violet Amethyst)

3) and is it just the comments box at the order confirmation that you type - "i would like my saber color to be Bane's Heart"?

thanks guys!

1.  It depends on what power source you have.  With regular (alkaline) batteries, you have a ramping in voltage as you use them, so the color changes from the default (magenta) all the way to a pale red.  The Li-ion batteries, however, have a consistent voltage throughout their life, so the color stays the same.  With colors like the Bane's Heart I would highly recommend this setup.

2.  Yes, order the Violet Amethyst and write in the order comments that you would like it to be Bane's Heart.  I typically put the color name in all caps so they can't miss it, but that's just me.

3.  Answered in #2.

Hope that helps!
