New here... 2 major questions.

[myxfriendjim1]

First, let me say that I really enjoy looking at all the sweet designs of the saber hilts and I can't wait to get one for myself. Just have a couple of questions on some things in general first.

1) I was wondering about availability. I'm really interested in the Aeon specifically and I'd like to know how long your sabers are usually in stock for in general, and how long will the Aeon specifically be in stock? My brother's birthday is in june and I'm sure he'd love one of these sabers. Will the Aeon still be here by June? It is by no means a turn off to this site if its not, I'd just like to make sure either way, as right now, I'd like to not spend too much money.

2) I was also wondering about which blade I should get. I'd prefer a stable sparring blade, but I'm not so sure I would be able to properly use a heavy blade as I'm new to the forms of the jedi. I certainly would "not" like the blade to wobble in the hilt if it hits something else (say... another lightsaber) with an average amount of force. Which blade would be best for someone who is still learning, but wants to spar still? If sacrificing a certain amount of brightness in the blade to achieve this is what I have to do... I think I will.

Thanks in advance for any answers! Boy, am I excited.

Welcome to the forum!

1. The Aeon is not a limited production model. They may run out of hilts at some point but they will be brought back in stock as soon as possible.

2. I'd recommend getting the Mid Grade blade with your saber. It balances out the saber well, doesn't sacrifice much brightness, and it's light. It's (if I remember correctly) almost half the weight of a Heavy Grade blade. It sounds like the sparring you're going to do isn't really over-the-top, insane guerrilla dueling with the occasional hitting a tree trunk, and I think the Mid Grade will hold up very well for your purposes.

Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for the speedy answer! One more thing, you said that it would be put back in stock if it runs out. For future reference, is there a way to tell which sabers "will" be put back into stock and which won't?

Thanks again!

Most hilts Ultra makes are regular models, and if it's a limited run he'll let us know.

What he said.  When I post a new model up, if it's limited I'll say so.  And if we start running low on a particular hilt, like we did with the Shock, we'll try to let you know.

You're an awesome brother for getting him a saber on his B-day.  It sure beats the hell out of a new tie.

What if it's a lightsaber tie.

so to make sure im on the right page about blades mid-grade is probably best as in an overall mix of brightness and durability? because I've been wondering about that..

All Ultra blades are bright and durable. So unless you're going to be doing serious dueling, then the mid grade Ultra Edge should be more than adequate for your needs.

ok. Thank You!
