Me playing with a friend's kyberlight lightsaber |
Here are my top choices
Saberforge - Aeon Apprentice Sabre |
Base hilt $75
Veteran Electronics $184
Powder Coat $75
Covertech clip $10
Colour - blue $0
Total cost - $344 (without the powder coat it would be $269
I find the cost is a bit too much if I want the powder coat, so I can get it in gold or copper. From what I have heard the quality of saberforge sables are hit and miss, and I don't want to risk getting a miss. This will probably not be my saber.
Ultrasaber Apprentice LE v5 |
Cost breakdown
Base hilt + Premium Obsidian Sound $215
Standard 32" blade - $10
Imperial screw wrench - $1 (can't use metric wrenches)
Covertech wheel - $15
Colour - guardian blue $0
Total cost - $249
This is the cheapest option. I will not buy an Ultrasaber though since they are too big and bulky, I want something more proportional to myself.
Kyberlight knight with Temple guard bundle |
Cost breakdown
Knight pack silver $199 (includes sound and many color options)
Accessories Temple Guard bundle - $47.97
Blue dayblade - $19.99
Total cost - $266.96
This is a strong contender. The hilt is a bit boring, but it has a nice pommel and I like the gold color. It's also a big plus that you can also buy a dayblade. When I tried a friend's kyberlight saber it was gorgeous to play around with.
Electrum Sabercraft Torrent in copper |
Torrent - $299 (includes sound and full colour options)
24K gold+ion switchplate - $10
Standard 32" thinwall blade - $0
Covertech wheel $15
Total cost - $324
This is also a very strong contender. It's my favorite design, it totally fits in with the Old Republic aestethics that I want. It is more expensive and lacks the dayblade that the kyberlight has though. I also wonder how much I would actually use the app to finetune the settings of the light and sound.
I have a fifth choice and that is a sabre that a local propmaker has offered me. It would of course be a lot easier to buy it locally, and I wouldn't have to worry about hight shipping and import fees. Still it's a long time until I have to decide what I want.
What would you choose?
