    Know that the sabers don’t actually cut trough things like in the movies.... I made that mistake.

      @SaberSourcing  5 лет назад +28

      I interviewed ACLightsabers in September 2018 and he said, "One customer...asked if I could make a lightsaber that will shoot out plasma beams, exactly how it is in the movies! Some people believe everything they see in the movies."

    I made the second mistake, which is ironic since she is displaying that mistake on the left. I pre-ordered the Ultrasabers "Grand Master", mostly due to the discount...even though the inscribing looked dodgy in the pictures.
    I did message them and was told it was simply a prototype and the finished product would look a loy better. It didn't. It looked worse. And I got a cut from one of the edges to the scribbled on inscribing. So I sent it back and got a Spectre (SO much better), but lost almost $180 due to restocking fees in the process.
    So my advice: NEVER pre-order. Wait for reviews, images and testiments. Take your time. A small discount is NOT worth the disappointment.

    Know what you are buying the saber FOR. COSplay? A few parties? Play fights with friends? Actually dueling?
    Know what you need your saber to do. Order based on what you need it for and not always for looks. Or else that expensive saber may break after the first play strike or it may just look terrible in a convention picture.

    • @SaberSourcing
      @SaberSourcing  5 лет назад +1

      Great points. A lightsaber intended for dueling or spinning may not look very flashy and fancy at all.

      @@SaberSourcing I bought a Saberforge Emerald Knight, and it wasn't quite what I thought it would be like. The pommel is so sharp it cuts your hand any time you need to open it, and there are two decorative plastic screws on the emitter that get in the way when trying to put a blade in and fall out if you don't tighten them all the time.
      I saw a review like a month later, that would have saved me from getting that saber.
