I have somewhat of a fanbase on YouTube and I figured I'd show them my lightsaber and so I figured "why not post it in reviews on the forums?". I trip over my words and think faster than I can speak when I get excited.. so some sentence might not make sense? hahah. Also I kinda curse every now and then, so now that I think about it, if you want to see the review go to www.youtube.com/rvsman. The review is titled "A Long Time Ago..." I don't want to post it here incase its too profane. (F-bomb like 3-5 times, I say s*** once I think) If you want to see me just swinging it around like a 5 year old, skip to 7:12 haha. But yeah I'm really happy with the saber. Hilt - 10/10 I really really love this hilt. Its exactly what I imagined a lightsaber would and should feel like as a kid. Not heavy, but has weight. And not fat and chunky like the hasbros. Sound- 9/10 I really love this obsidian sound board. I think that's one of my favorite features. The customization is incredible. Maintenance - 7/10 By maintenance I mean things like getting access to the batteries/soundboard. It's fickle, sometimes its smooth and easy, but sometimes it's very difficult. Blade - 8/10 The blade is very cool, very sturdy. And the UltraEdge does make the blade fuller. I was disappointed it was not as bright as it seems on camera sometimes, but it's still incredible and quite bright. Im going to try a plain old midgrade to compare brightness. Overall- 10/10. A lot of my friends ask if it was worth spending so much on a "toy" or StarWars paraphernalia. And I tell them "absolutely, I have no shame at all." |

I have been seriously considering a Prophecy (not made up my mind about the light, or dark version though). Nice to hear such great things about it.

Sorry for double posting but is this your first Obsidian saber? And maybe because of the brightness the batteries weren't fully charged. Let us know. Nice saber. Is it Consular Green or Arctic Blue? I really can't tell.

I was very tempted to get green. And even now I am tempted either buy another one with green or to somehow look into changing it to green. And yes this is my first obsidian saber (also my first saber in general that isnt cheap plastic from a toystore hahah). I did turn it on before charging (and of course instructions say not to and I didnt read til after) but it was only on for about a minute or so. And then I charged them. It could be the blade mixed with SRD. SRD might not fit best with UltraEdge, so I ordered a regular midgrade that should be here by thursday  . and I may end up liking midgrade better. |

Nice Choice of Sabers! I also just purchased a Prophecy V3. The light version though. It is exactly what I imagined a lightsaber to be. I am very happy with it. And with my choice in Sunriders Destiny as a color. I have a heavy grade blade. And it seems a little brighter than yours. (I would post pictures, and my own review but I used the money I was going to spend on a digital camera on the saber. Enjoy.

Awesome! It definitely does feel amazing to hold. Im glad to hear that another blade seems to be brighter. Im hoping that it was just the fact that SRD may not be best for UltraEdge mid. |

I've got a srd saber and I've used both ultra edge and regular blades in both mid and heavy grades in it and the only real difference that I notice is with the regular blades it has a more green tint to it and with the ultra edge it has a slightly more blue tint to it. Mids are brighter than the heavy's, however it's not by much, and with the heavy's in my opinion the regular blades look better than the ultraedge blades, on the flip side though in my opinion the mid ultraedge looks better than the regular mid. Hope I was of some assistance.
