Ordered my first saber from Ultrasabers on Tuesday. It was shipped out yesterday (Wednesday) and I should have it Friday!

I was a little skeptical at first cause of mixed reviews here and there. However, after talking with my stage-fighting group, they mostly have Ultrasabers and instructed how to care for them, so here I am! Ordering my first saber ever.

Ordered a Phantasm V3 for staff uses, I will be plenty sure to take pictures and do a full review once I get it.

 But until then here are the extra specs:

-Both Aldegan Silver
-32" Heavy grade blades (for fighting)
-Standard version (non LE because I plan on putting black accents into the grooves)
-2 Blade plugs (because they looked awesome and I wanted to try them out)
-Li-Ion setup w/buckpuck( so I can use rechargeables)
-No Sound

Its in!

I came home from work to find this layin around!

Where to start where to start.... well lets see:

Shipping: The sabers came really fast, and were nicely packed together with everything included.

Height: Being about 6'3" The staff was really nice size wise in my hands.


Feel/Grip: Overall the grip was a tiny bit slippery but the choke holds helped and it looks nice in my hands. Its also decently weighted.

Lowish light:

Sunlight by the door:

Outside: (6pm so sun was low and bearing)


Looks: The finsh on the hilt was nice, I had one small gripe that the finish was a little dull and splotchy up close, other than that its nice. Some polish would clean that up. The color is awesome, especially after a good charge

Regular Light:

Mid Light: (after a decent charge)

Low Light:

Outside:


Blade Plug!: Got them cause they looked awesome, and indeed they do. One complaint here, if you have the blade plug properly seated, the LED can move around if you're swinging the saber.


Internals:

Battery pack and velcro: I was prepared to use a rubber band or something cause I heard the batteries like to fall out, and that it helps to put a little extra packing in them. This was not the case... every thing fit nicely inside the hilts and there was this velcro to hold the batteries together. All the wiring seemed to be nicely wrapped up too.


Coupler:  This disappointed me a small bit. I know its an internal so it wont be as shined up as much, however, the machined threading was VERY sharp and I nearly cut my hand just taking it out of the packaging.



All in all I'd have to give this about a 90/100 its an amazing saber overall, really impressive and takes pictures nicely both inside and outside, but does have a couple notable flaws here and there.

Last picture: Because I saw someone else decide to do this on the forums I figured I'd do it too, just cause it looks neat. Blade/plug combo.

Nice! I just ordered a Phantom LE with SY blades. can't wait to get it! With the blade plugs (I have two one in a V2 Liberator and one in a V2 Prophecy) and I played around with the positions to get the best look. I like my plug to be just a touch below the emitter rim, I'd say about 1/8" in the Liberator. I think that looks the best. In the Prophecy it fits just right so that it keeps the LED module snugly in place and stays just flush with the lowest part of the slanted emitter.

Good review on the Phantasm!  Point!

good luck with the customizations! are you just planning on making the grooves black? or do you plan on doing anything else?

Thanks for the tip on plugs and point. In terms of customization I'm not sure yet! This is going to be for an Imperial Knight costume, so I'll be adding accents here and there.
