What a coincidence! I was literally trying to find out what the best options were to buy from yesterday. I don’t have enough to buy one just yet but I was looking into it for the near future
Imperial Workshop is my goto for Xeno. Ship super quick and really good stuff. Galaxy’s Edge sent me a broken saber then replaced it with the wrong one. Never again. CCSabers came with only the standard blades in Proffie. Several cool sound fonts but no matching blades. They told me to take a hike basically. Tony from Ronin Sabers got me squared away.
Replica Sabers: SP Sabers, Roman Props, KR Saber Armory, Jawa's Junkyard, Solo's Hold. Non-Replica Sabers: Sabertrio, Pachstore, Vader's Vault, Bendu Armory, Electrum Sabercrafts, Genesis Custom Sabers, Starfall Sabers, Ignition Saber Co. Just FYI, Korbanth by and large does not produce their own sabers. They mostly are a reseller for 89sabers, and occasionally will collaborate on runs with shadowfoil props. Also, Saberforge is close to 50% lgt/nexus at this point. Originally only their youngling line was LGT, but over the last 2 years they've replaced a lot of their apprentice and eco lines with LGT. The most reputable LGT/Nexus saber shops are Darkwolf Sabers, Vire Sabers, Padawan's Outpost (UK), Rebel Sabers, and AusSabers (Australia).
Try imperial workshop, sabertheory, and the saber factory! I’ve always wanted to see what you think about those companies to see which one I would want to try for my first neopixel saber! 😎
Why isn't Sabneo in the list? They've got the best price on a fully featured neopixel blade and it even comes with free shipping and a lifetime warranty
Just now subscribed. I know this is 2023 and replica's, but i was thinking of getting a theory saber piece. How do you feel about those? Btw, i heard you mention hottoys, i would love to pose up one of your star wars hottoys together! 🤗👍🏽
Ended up ordering a Saber from Saberforge, with the Golden Harvest pixel board. Super excited, getting it soon too!!! Do you have any experience with a saber like this?
I’m not the biggest fan of the GH board. But they are similar to the other top boards. You can modify sound fonts and effects. A lot of people like them though.
Have you done any light saber combat? (The saber legion, saber light knights) . I do competitive combat with light sabers ( with the above organizations). I am not a prop guy. My main focus is durability and how easy to use in competitive combat. I have found Mando corps. And shabby sabers much better than anything else especially the ones that are more mainstream. What have you dealt with?
@@BrooksVlad I haven’t used Mando Corps or Shabby sabers before. I’ve never heard of them. To be honest I’m more of a collector of sabers and I do some spinning and sword training for exercise and just to learn art. I’ve never done any combat.
I don't get this. I know ultrasbers isn't everyone's favorite, but considering how popular they are, not getting a mention seems odd to me. my ultrasabers experience has always been great. i've gotten responses within the day, if not the hour sometimes when i've had to reach out for customer service. they're great dueling sabers in my mind, and their blades are really durable considering how much i've put mine through over the years. perhaps they changed their practices recently or something. sure, their hilts are basic, but i don't really mind that when my focus is dueling and non-complex hilts help with grip and balance.
Maybe things have turned around with them. My experience with those sabers have not been great. Every time the saber has failed on me within a few months. My Disney park sabers hold up better. I think they are popular because they are the cheapest and they appear at many conventions. But after my last one, I’ll never buy from them again.
Taansi There! Thanks for the video. As a dancer and performer, I'm looking for a solid replica lightsaber that is also built for flow work and dueling. Do you know if any of these you recommended are focused on performance with the lightsaber?
@@HyperdriveStarWars I haven't had any experience with them yet. I've spoke to a few people some of the lightsaber groups on Facebook and they say "avoid ArtSabers like the plague" which I'm more willing to listen to considering I'm hearing from actual people and not a review on RUclips. But I'm hoping ArtSabers is reliable because I really want the Darth Nihilus and Darth Malak hilts.
@@DarthBaras13 oh the way I read your first comment, jt seemed that you have used them in the past. I can only tell you that I’ve used them recently without any issue. I’m not going to tell you how to spend your money. But I do like the products I receive from them.
@@HyperdriveStarWars all right. I'll give it a shot. With your permission, may I reference you in the notes when I make my purchase? Maybe seeing that you vouch for their products will give them incentive to not mess up my order.
I ordered a saber years ago with them and the electronics stopped working maybe a month after I had it. Took it apart and noticed that the sound board was fried. Also later noticed they used a really basic and cheap sound board. Which meant the soundboard I actually payed for was taped along side the other electronics doing nothing. I confirmed this by wiring it up and making it work again.
Ultrasabers has been running into a lot of quality issues the last few years and their customer service has dropped with it. The first and only saber I got from them came in weeks late and not working. Customer support was basically no help, they told me that I must have done something to break it because them getting delivered broken was "very rare". I will never buy another saber there again.
Surprised you haven't tried Crimson Dawn yet. I own several of their sabers and love them. Also their customer service is very very good. Not to mention the prices are very affordable
I really like Crimson Dawn, having purchased from them in person. Good products and service. They're one of the many vendors of LGT hilts from China though, and in the video he mentions those companies at 8:08, noting that there are more than he can keep track of
Is there any company based in europe than i can buy a beginner lightsaber (simple RGB,no sound) 100 to 160$? all of these look great but we have problem with taxes in europe and its a problem ordering from US/CANADA/AUSTRALIA.
I tried them a year or so ago. The lightsaber came in broken and their solution was to send replacement parts for me to attempt and repair. Maybe they have changed but my experience wasn't great. If you think they are worth giving another try I'll check them out next year! Happy New Year!
I'm looking for a neopixel replicas of Starkiller's exposed crystal, Luke ep 6 and Obi-Wan ep 3. But I'm a cheap sob, and don't wanna spend more than 300-350 at the most. Any tips? Been looking at nSabers for a while now and they have great reviews, but is it any good? Edit; I posted this literally 11 seconds before he said nSabers and art sabers. I'm literally buying the Obi-Wan from ROTS as soon as I'm done writing this
I do have one suggestion and that is a less well known company and that is anasabers I have 1 lightsaber and is frequently seen on my channel it is amazing it comes in pixel rgb and I think proffie I’m not for sure but they are amazing they have customer support that responds as fast as they can like I reached out to them and they responded with an email couple of days later keeping in mind that was a holiday weekend nice people
Just seeing this for the first time tonight. And I have to agree that the Raxus from SP is an amazing hilt. I'd love to get my hands on one. Sadly though, I don't if you saw, but Shaun announced the other day that he will no longer be making sabers. It's a shame, because they have definitely made some gorgeous hilts in the past.
So far most ive heard for best sabers in not any particular order Art Sabers Vaders Vault Saberforge And a new comer Theory Sabers Never ever buy Ultra Sabers DX Sabers DX use to be good but too many storys of scam now
Yes Vaderssabers! Highly recommended, I have 10 different sabers and never an issue and all are beautiful!
What a coincidence! I was literally trying to find out what the best options were to buy from yesterday. I don’t have enough to buy one just yet but I was looking into it for the near future
Glad to help. Happy New Year!

Is Ultrasabers not a good option now? They seem to be discounting their sabers pretty heavily as of late.
I ordered a saber years ago with them and the electronics stopped working maybe a month after I had it. Took it apart and noticed that the sound board was fried.

What lightsaber brand should I buy!! I want the best quality, and durability while dueling. And the best sound and looks!!! 🤔
If you want to do heavy duty full contact dueling an RGB/Baselit is pretty much your only option
Do you know if Saber Trio delivers to Europe? I am from Poland and I really want to order one.
try theory sabers
Great review: This is the way!11111111111
Thanks This is the way!
yay for the lightsaber!
Better to buy like this or from Disney at the park?... dumb question? Someone tell me, bjt be nice
Did you ever Seen or revied a Saberforge Crystal saber?

WAIT, is SP Sabers the same as TheSaberFactory?
No, SP sabers is no longer in business.
Mannn now I feel like I wasted money on my ultrasaber...but I like it, so 🤷
V.8 are good or na
Imperial workshop because you don’t have to pay extra for a neopixel blade
What do you think about sabers sabertheory?
Yes but the cores suck
What about sabers pro?
Is there any company based in europe than i can buy a beginner lightsaber (simple RGB,no sound) 100 to 160$? all of these look great but we have problem with taxes in europe and its a problem ordering from US/CANADA/AUSTRALIA.

What’s the issues?
@trextex, who hurt you.
What about CXSaber?

Korbanth are horrible, don’t recommend, you can thank me later people
Even the neopixels?
The fact you will spend more money on a replica is weird. Misplaced priorities and wasted money
Sometimes you tubers get given them to review plus he’s making money on you tube from it😂so not misplaced priorities
@jameswoodwards7594 paying more money for something that's essentially copy and paste.... over something you must give instructions for? yea alright
Your life must be sad sometimes
You good?
