So my Initiate and Dark Initiate LE came in today... I was aghast with awe.
I'll start with the Initiate:
I got it in Blazing Red in an UltraEdge blade. It's bright, but not blinding, and a very nice, sombre red hue; no yellows or blues, and the pics don't do it enough justice.

Now onto the Dark Initiate, which I got in Guardian Blue
This thing is BRIGHT! It's a nice, cool blue, and unassuming until you turn it on. The hilt is slightly weightier than the Initiate, and a bit longer, which in retrospect is something I thought would be equal, but it doesn't really bother me becuase they are very nearly the same.

And finally, a pic I thought you guys might be proud of
Overall, I'm very pleased with my first purchase and plan on ordering from US again.
