@@LandoSabers I'm trying my best to keep this entire video under 10 mins hahahah. No but Sabertrio is pretty fascinating though. Very impressed by their website and level of customer service. I can see why you like them!
Before i watch this video I just want to say im a big fan of the channel i actually binged all your content yesterday. Currently got a SF and VV hilts on the way and can't wait to finally get some neopixel sabers. Big love! great channel, and keep making these vids they help alot of new people and medium level entry saber enthusiasts such as myself. Great work
I'm glad I do my research on everything. Was finally looking into actually buying a lightsaber and ultrasabers was the only site that I knew of, watched this video and the other one. I'm just glad I was window shopping and didn't go through with any purchase.
Made a purchase just now of the Senza from Sabertrio. I want to come express my gratitude for your videos as they helped me to make my decision greatly. You educated and saved me from making a regrettable purchase from Ultrasabers. I appreciate you, Stoney Magnum, Darth Cephalus, Darth Koopa, and Sir James. All of your guidance was unparalleled for lightsaber knowledge. I will try to make some videos on it and the recent Luke replica hilt I bought from Aliexpress (test the waters). Thank you for the inspiration, motivation, and great channel. I wish the best in your endeavors and may the force be with you always!
Thank you SO much! Seeing things like this make me really glad that I decided to put these videos out. I promise that you're gonna love your saber, and I promise that Sabertrio will make 100% sure that you are fully satisfied with your purchase. Good luck and have fun!
My first Lightsaber Arrived today. It’s perfect for the price, Color Tuning, Lock up, Blaster Deflect, *6* Sound fonts (Luke, Vader, Kylo, Cal Kestis, +2 more.) Volume adjustment, and Blade effects, and it’s only for 79$! ( Mystery Box ) Love it, you should check it out as well, The Mystery Box is found at Crimson Dawn, love it.
@Luitenent F1-57 All of crimson dawn's lightsabers come in all colors and fonts. You are guaranteed to receive a color changing lightsaber with at least 6 sound fonts (they arent always the same, they have different sets of fonts)
Thank you, you are showing us quality sabers! I was an inch away from buying from UltraSabers until I found you and realized the sinister darkness behind the galaxy.
I was about to buy 2 light saber worth 2281 from ultra saber and you my friends saved me a lot of money! I was able to get 6 with that amount thank you !! You earn a subscriber!!

I’m fairly new to purchasing sabers, and I’m not really a fan of the NeoPixel blades so far, but the company I’ve had experience with so far is Rebel Sabers. The owner, Will, is very friendly when it comes to customer service, the price range considering the ECO Smooth Swing soundboard is literally unbelievable, and the hilts are all made with very high quality materials. I haven’t had a single problem with the dual Akimbo sabers I bought from him, and when the green LED wouldn’t work, he sent me an entire new soundboard free of charge. I’d definitely recommend Rebel Sabers, especially if you’re a beginner to lightsabers like myself. I’ve had my eye on Electrum Sabers for a while now, but I’ll be checking out SaberTrio soon.
I love how you break down alot of the tech or contrast in lightsaber purchases to PC building; as both are tech's that you can build or pre-buy once you understand it.. I myself built my own PC so this speaks to me very well.. Goodbye Ultrasabers..!! was so close to buying theirs as my first.. good thing I did my research.. =)
Hey I just wanted to comment that I've recently gotten interested in lightsabers (again). I have some of the old Master FX ones and more recently, the Black Series ones. I've always wanted something more realistic and when I saw your video on the neopixel I was blown away. I want to thank you for putting out all these videos about the different companies and their pros/cons. I am DEFINITELY going to be buying from SaberTrio once they reopen next March. Thank you!!
I'm working on a theater degree, and I think I basically figured out why lightsabers are so damn cool lol. Star Wars is in the genre of Space Opera, it isn't a literal opera of course, but what are the two coolest things that can happen on a stage? SWORD FIGHTS AND PYROTECHNICS! Lightsabers combine both unlike anything else. As far as I know, there are no plays or operas that utilize imitation lightsabers, and I think that's a damn shame, maybe I should write one (completely disconnected from the star wars universe of course, don't come at me Disney!)
I was going to buy from Ultra Sabers and it seemed like many of their sabers looked very cool, especially with the customization. I just wanted to make sure I was making the right decision and now I’m a little worried. I don’t want a lightsaber to come in half a year, just one that looks “clean” and can duel. I’ll do a little more research before I choose the company I like.
This was genuinely a really informative guide, I now have a WAAAY better idea and understanding of what to look for if I decide to purchase one of these. I think I'm going to purchase one in the near future now, Tyvm!
just wanted to say thank you for this video and the information contained in it. I got my first Sabertrio lightsaber at about this time last year when I was testing out 3 different saber companies...one of which is the shall not be named, the other saberforge. The Sabertrio is by far the best Saber I received. It was just their simple VX saber in the Skylar hilt with a blued weather finish. Gorgeous. Now I just wish they could reopen again so I can order my first Neopixel.
Thanks for this dude. I'm fairly new to sabers and managed to save myself from a bad/shady first purchase thanks to your videos. Keep up the great work and may the Force be with you, too. 🚀
I just found your channel because I’ve been researching sabertrio I’ve been talking to them they’re great with customer service I’ve been stuck deciding between the vektra and the aeryn and the Skylar
All three are great options! My personal favorite of Sabertrio’s choices would have to be either the Senza or the Brushed Silver Reaver with silver claws. That looks absolutely unreal to me, and Sabertrio has done that custom silver claw mod for a customer before. Excellent company!
Bro you just saved me from buying from Artsabers- like they were pricey for Ashoka’s design. Then I saw Electrum Sabers. I dont need a lot of fonts honestly and they have a design inspired by Ahsoka’s lightsaber and I can still give it my own customization. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I am subscribed until I become one with the Force!
once i heard the obsidian soundboard i went STRAIGHT to youtube to find something better thank you for making this video or else i wouldn’t have heard of neopixel and proffie/cfx
could you make a video on rebel sabers. i’ve seen you casually mention them but would like to know more. i just order their new dark apprentice saber and can’t wait for it to come in!!
I was gonna spend so much money with ultrasabers a couple of weeks ago and then I was fortunate enough to see your videos. Im so glad i didnt throw my money away. Im new to this hobby and cant wait for my new sabers to arrive from Neosabers!
Hey, it’s me again from your last video. I changed my profile picture btw. Thanks for making this video! Great content. There’s not many you tube rs who reply to their subscribers. Thanks for the great content. ✌️
Thank you for supporting the channel! And I wanted to be able to relate personally to my viewers and subscribers, and the best way to do that is to respond and answer their questions! I am a bit upset that many youtubers don’t tend to follow the same train of thought, but I will try my hardest to reply to all relevant comments and support!
Thank you for this information! I took your advice! I ordered the New Sovereign Elite saber from Vader’s Vault and also the Ultimate Works Savage Order “Brother” staff saber from The Pach Store!!! Your review, as far as I can tell, is spot on. Both of these companies are awesome!! I tried to buy from Sabertrio, but they had zero selection right now.
Yeah, Sabertrio is not accepting orders until the end of March, due to Covid restrictions where they live. They wanted to finish all the previous orders before accepting new ones, in the case that they have to actually shut down or something.
Great video, and I agree with your top 5 in terms of hitting those 3 main value points, but I kinda need to point something out. So Korbanth primarily acts as a reseller for the hilts they offer, although the board assembly into their chassis they do do themselves. The majority of the screen accurate hilts they get are from 89Sabers which is based (I believe) in China or Hong Kong. And you're correct in that they also do a lot of collaboration with companies like KR Sabers as well. The reason most folks go to Korbanth is that they are based in the US, so it's a lot easier for American & Canadian customers to get sabers from them than from 89sabers. You can order direct from 89sabers, but their customer service isn't very good. You'll even notice that when you order from them and get your box, it will have a sleeve on it with the Korbanth logo, but when you slide it off, you'll see 89sabers on the actual box. Also, not sure if you were aware, but SaberForge - as of June 1st - now offers neopixel as well. It's only available for their Hero Tier sabers, and for some of their crystal sabers, hero tier/neopixel is the only selection you can get. SF is doing something slightly different with their neopixel where they are doing a thread-in blade. And lastly, if you're not familiar with this company I highly encourage you to check out Bendu Armory. They came on the scene in 2018, and specialize in carbon fiber hilt sleeves with swappable internal chassis cores. They build with CFX, and offer neopixel as well as in-hilt LED/RGB. Their price point is $385 for RGB, and $510 for neopixel. They design their sabers with dueling in mind, and are the only saber company I know of that warranties their heavy grade neopixel blades for dueling. Their customer service is very good, and they actively develop new products frequently. They also actively update on their FB site, as well as in the Rebel Armory FB group. MTFBWY!
I am aware of the dynamic between Korbanth and 89Sabers. I am also painfully aware that the owner of 89Sabers is a scamming POS, which is why I am not even telling my viewers about buying from them directly. The vast majority of my viewers are from the United States/Canada anyway, and I know that they would not be comfortable ordering from China, especially not directly from them. Also, I will never recommend Saberforge on this channel. They may have gotten their act together with the quality of their sabers, but I cannot ignore the major issues plaguing that company, namely their recent awful customer service (I know about the wildfires, I’m talking about before all that), shipping broken and incorrect sabers, and Phil Isherwood, their owner, being a monumental POS. It’s getting to the point where I’m comparing him to Emory Harris of Ultrasabers. I won’t support or give money to someone who calls himself a god, nor will I support a business that blocks its customers from social media after asking about their order from 18 weeks ago. I have just recently heard about Bendu Armory, and I will likely include them in one of my upcoming videos. Thanks for the tip! MTFBWY!
@@LandoSabers Yes, that is what I've heard about 89Sabers as well. It seems that they mostly do business with other saber companies that purchase in bulk, but if you - as an individual - order from them you are likely to get screwed. I believe Sidious Sabers did a review/commentary about that as well. Re: SaberForge. I appreciate your opinion on them, and you're not wrong at all. I think for SF, they are still a cut above UltraSabers, mainly because they - as a saber company - have made strides to improve both their product and their processes. They are still way behind the curve (the 5 you list are far better, IMO). I only mentioned them because they have only recently released NeoPixel, so I was curious if you had considered them and rejected them. Sounds like the answer is yes =) I would say, keep an eye on SF. Where UltraSabers' trend line is declining, SF's line is ascending. They were far worse 1-2 years ago than they are now, but they still aren't there yet. They really need to get their customer service under control, and also their ASP production & shipping. It's just whack at the moment. And I do agree wholeheartedly about phil. He's a very anti-social guy, who's not really into the hobby. Like Emory, this is mostly business for him. For many of the companies you've mentioned, their owners/managers are also saber enthusiasts and I think that makes a big difference in overall customer relationships. You'll love Bendu =) Take care! Thanks again for the vids. Love them!
My Neo Senza just came today and I’m in love. I wish I would’ve done more research before I got my previous two sabers. They were sadly from Ultrasabers. I have they’re death Revan butcher one which is neat and all but the neo Senza was 100x better. Their customer service is unmatched.
Thanks for all your info. I am looking into buying my first saber and have been researching a lot of the companies. Sabertrio sadly isnt taking any orders until maybe Christmas time. I came across Bendu Armory and they seem to be interesting. Their blades look nice they have good neopixel blades and say that they are all duel ready. They make carbon fibre and have a interchangeable core. The quality looks good and the sound board is the CFX. Price point seems to be on par with the rest. Do you know anything about them? Are they on point with the ones mentioned in your video? From what I read they might be better then electorcum sabres. Awesome videos by the way. Watching them makes me want a saber even more.
Thanks! And yes, I have heard of Bendu Armory and I have started to do some research on them. If you can be patient for maybe a week, I’m going to be posting an extremely in-depth analysis of great in-stock saber options for every single budget range. Bendu Armory will be included in that video! I just need some time to film and edit it, as it will be a lot of work, and likely a long video.
@@LandoSabers I definitely have some time to be patient. The goal is to buy 2 sabers as I want to be able to dual with friends and spouse, but have to buy them 1 at a time. I look forward to your video. I also subscribed buddy great job on your videos thabks for making them! Thanks for taking the time to respond. I am super pumped to order and receive my first Saber just have to pick a vendor. Bendu looks like you get a good quality blade for around 500US. Like a childhood dream about to be fulfilled haha!
You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber! Very informative video, I think I’m gonna go straight to sabertrio! I’m not planning on collecting but I would like one amazing lightsaber to be my centrepiece so better go for the best!
Thank you for this info, now I have to wait until March to get my neopixel LS it will be my first one but well worth the wait. Thank you again and stay safe.
Just ordered from ultrasabre prior to seeing your other video. guess I got lucky I recieved my custom graflex within a week. this was my first Sabre and was pleased with what I recieved. although I did think I was receiving an updated sound board technology. I will definitely look into other option for my next sabre. awesome and informative videos keep it up.
As a cosplayer in Oregon I always see "Saberforge" at conventions (they are based here), and I'm curious if you've heard of them and what your thoughts are on the products and company. Personally I've heard pretty polarizing things regarding the customer service.
They have a good bit of customization and designs regarding their sabers, however, their customer service has been known to be pretty bad especially this year, they have shipped out broken sabers and refused to repair or refund them, have blocked customers on social media after asking questions about their orders, etc. I’m not sure if that’s a widespread issue as much as Ultrasabers, but I definitely have heard about those things, and I don’t personally recommend them, unless you’ve had good experiences with them in the past.
Waiting to hear back from Sabertrio as they out of stock. Going to be worth the wait. Again thanks for the videos!! who else makes a dual blade set up?
I think my ultimate saber is that badaxx. I love curved hilts. Only other company that stocks or makes curved hilts are saberforge. The bane mk 2 looks good but it is saberforge.
What do you think of Evolution Arms light sabers? They have a Hero with Crystal Focus that looks really awesome!!! They are expensive, but what have you heard? I went with your recommendations on The Pach Store and Vader’s Vault!! I hope you feel better, man!!!
I took your recommendation yesterday and I checked out sabertrio, and I definitely see why you would choose them. As soon as I get the money im going to try to order all the sabers I need (which is like 4)
I like them all, but if i had to choose for my personal saber it would be 2 skylars put together, one blue and one green. But I'm ordering 4 because me and my friends have been planning to film a star wars fan film and im producing it so yeah. Once I can im ordering the Skylar, the aeryn, and probably the arclyte and reaver
@@Expunged16 Nice! Make sure you buy a coupler with those, and if I were you, I'd dm Sabertrio and ask them if you will be able to purchase those at re-opening, as they may do a limit per customer. They are very nice people so they will be able to take care of you!
Yeah I will, the sad thing is I don't have the money right now so even if I wanted to purchase as soon as they re opened I cant but yeah ill make sure I contact them about it. It sucks because the company that won't be mentioned on your channel threw a wrench in our plans so we have to wait even longer then planned before we even have all the props ready but the nice thing is we already have casting and costume design finished. So hopefully I can get that 80% of my money (because of there "restock" fee) back and get a head start on saving for those new sabers
I would actually recommend filing a dispute with PayPal or your bank and getting your money back that way. Ultrasabers will never give you your money back, and they are actually in violation of the Federal Trade Commission’s bylaws by doing that.
Loved the list and I Completely Agree with SaberTrio being the Top of the Saber Makers i received my reaver and Valkinn neo sabers last friday and have been astounded by their quality and technology but most astounding is my agility with my reaver in particular has immediately doubled they are virtually Magical in their design and leap from hand to hand without fail and omg the Cfx sound fonts are diverse and spectacular and speaker is amazing
Fully agreed. Sabertrio’s quality/price/customer service ratio is elite, and their sabers are incredibly comfortable to wield, as well as insanely advanced!
What about SaberForge? They are very pricey, but hands down best machine made sabers in my mind. That being said I would agree to the Ranking of this video is fairly accurate.
Hi I’m a big fan of the channel but I’m much more of a double bladed light saber guy and the only place I’ve seen a half decent looking double bladed light saber is Ultrasaber I don’t want to order from them but I can’t find many places do you have any suggestions?
Loved the video! And all of these can be used for dueling? I really want to get one with the best sound quality and lighting, but have it be able to duel as well.
Agree with you 100% on SaberTrio being #1. By far (and I mean BY FAR the best saber company I have ever dealt with). I will comment on Korbanth tho .... their current install team is terrible. Several posts on the Universal Lightsaber FB group and the Saber Callouts group showcasing the poor quality that they are currently putting out. The Graflex Supreme I had across my desk this month was shameful (I had to completely rewire it). Soldering was a mess. Multiple failures. Several stripped threads in key areas (that would have been done at the install stage), too that I had to deal with and work around.
I have to agree with you on that. Since I posted that video, I’ve been hearing more and more about Korbanth’s install team, and now the only thing I’ll buy from them is a hilt, which is just 89Sabers or KR, or whomever.
So I have been watching most of your videos to get a better idea on what type/brand of light saber to purchase. I want to hit things with it and I want the smooth swing is a must. I don’t mind for the movie replicas as long as the product I buy is high quality and lasts long. I do want the cool sound effects though. Should I purchase from saber trio or neo pixel or what would you suggest? The hilts don’t have to be movie replicas. I was looking at neopixel apprentice adamant. I just need more assistance since you already did the homework. Thank you so much for your videos and your time. Greatly appreciate.
I really want a realistic lightsaber that can change colors and sounds. I really want to buy from sabertrio but they rarely ever have anything available and today on their website it says they won’t be selling anything until after Christmas break. What company would you most recommend for a really bright realistic lightsaber that can change colors and sounds besides sabertrio?
As mentioned in my video, my top 3 are Sabertrio, Vader's Vault, and Korbanth, in that order. Sabertrio is my number one because they have the perfect blend of great pricing, excellent quality, and amazing customer service. Vader's Vault and Korbanth are great options as well, but they are usually more expensive than Sabertrio. Sabertrio's store is currently closed because they are a smaller store than most of the other companies on my list, so they cannot remain open 24/7, 365 like other stores, constantly taking on more and more orders. That would cause huge delays, with people placing an order and not getting it for 4-8 months because the order queue is so large. They used to not have any problem staying open, but because of Darth Koopa's video on them having almost 2 million views, plus coronavirus, plus many recent positive reviews on them including my first video, they have gained so much interest and popularity that the amount of orders coming in are so many that they do not feel comfortable accepting any more right now, because they like being able to build and ship sabers in a timely manner. They reopened for 2 days and sold out very quickly. If you really want to get the best deal on a great saber, I'd say to wait until they reopen and choose a Neopixel from them. If you're impatient and really want one right now, then The Pach Store, Electrum SaberCrafts, Korbanth, Vader's Vault, and Genesis Custom Sabers all have great options at different price points. If you are new to this and aren't very lightsaber tech-savvy, then I'd recommend getting one that has a Crystal Focus 10 (CFX) soundboard installed, as it is the easiest top-tier soundboard to operate. GCS, Vader's Vault, and some Korbanth sabers offer CFX sabers, while the Pach Store offers sabers with either an Asteria 2.5 soundboard or a Proffie soundboard. Both are great boards, but are more difficult to operate than a CFX. Electrum SaberCrafts offers their sabers with the Diatium3 soundboard, which I don't have any experience with, but customers say that it isn't too difficult to operate. Whatever you choose to do, please stay away from Ultrasabers and Saberforge. I posted a long video about Ultrasabers and why you shouldn't give them your money, but Saberforge has been experiencing very similar issues, and they had to evacuate due to the west coast wildfires, and there is no telling if the factory will even be safe or not. DX Sabers is also a huge scammer, so avoid them as well. If you need any more advice, feel free to check out the r/lightsabers subreddit, and ask or look around. They have a helpful buyer's guide (which is linked in this video's description) and a lot of people willing to help out. Hope that answers your question!
I just bought two VV sabers and I feel equally excited and sick (so much money). Would you say sabers by them retain some value of their value over time?
Great video!!! I was wondering if you can change the ignition flash an lockup/clash/blaster colors for CFX?? I’m getting my first Neopixel soon and I’m so excited it’s a build from a saber smith but I’m really trying to get my hands on a Sabertrio how long do you think it will take for them to have there stock full 24/7 I think when they reopen on the 31st they’ll only have 500 hilts that’s gonna go so fast
I go over the ignition and retraction effects in one of my other videos, and I’ll be doing videos on the lockup and clash and blasters in the future. I really don’t know how long it will take for Sabertrio to be full 24/7, as they are still considered a smaller company, and they ship out about 100-175 sabers a week if they’re really pushing. Because they have to get their PlecterPixel connectors from an entirely different continent, it may take longer for them to ship out their Neopixel sabers if, say 1000 or 2000 people order them at a time. Like they said in their post, they don’t want to bite off more than they can chew (unlike Ultrasabers) and would rather keep the lead times to a minimum. That being said, I really don’t have a guess on when they would be able to be fully open again, as my first video and Darth Koopa’s videos have put a ton of attention on that company and they will likely sell out their stock in less than an hour. There’s really no telling, but if you really want one and aren’t able to get one on August 31st, dm them on Instagram or Facebook and they’ll hook you up. They tend to do that if you’re really serious about getting one :)
Hey man, great video again. I was thinking about getting a Skylar saber, but I don’t know what else to add to it. I would like a saber that I can display and sometimes take off and whack my friends with it or spin it around and have it make sounds or something...any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
Sabertrio offers three tiers of sabers: Stunt (light, with no sound), FX (light, with sound), and Neopixel (extremely bright light, fully customizable sound with CFX soundboard). If you order a Skylar with FX or Neopixel, you will have a saber that can play sounds, and look great. In all three tiers, you can remove the blade with the hex key included with the saber. I own a Neopixel Vektra, and it is absolutely unreal. Neopixel sabers do become a bit pricey, but their price is definitely justified by the technology that is utilized. If you have any questions regarding Sabertrio and their possible customizations, you can always dm them on Instagram or Facebook, or email them, and they should get back to you shortly!
I wanted to know your opinion on the saved company called Rebel Sabers. Have you done research into them? So far I’ve received great of the three main things you talked about (price, customer service, (I actually haven’t received the saber yet)). The customer service has been fantastic and responding in less than 5 hours. The shipping is free (in the US) and fast (ordered my saber Dec 23rd and it’s supposed to arrive today (Jan 4th)). They also advertise really good quality in terms of dualing. Have you heard of them and what’s your opinion on them?
Great video. Very informative. I noticed Sabertrio store isn't open until November. Do they sell out quick in your experience. I saw a used one on ebay but I'd like to wait for a new one
They do sell out pretty quick. The last time they reopened, their website crashed, partially due to the amount of internet traffic. Because of that, they reopened a few days later for 24 hours, and took the limit off their order capacity. I don’t know exactly how they’ll handle this reopening, but you might want to follow them on Instagram or Facebook as they post updates every week, and will provide more info on the reopening in the coming weeks!
I would switch Korbanth and Vaders Vault because Vaders Vault takes 4-6 months to get. Granted their sabers are too quality and are custom order, but the length of time it takes to get a saber from them I switch their placing with Korbanth.
Could u make a video about lgt store, im thinking of buying there and probably a lot of other people as well bc it's realtor cheap and lightsabers are just too expensive to buy elsewhere especially movie replicas
they’re a reseller that have constantly lied to their customers and their own suppliers, even after being warned not to, and are only relevant because of TikTokers. they’re literally nothing special at all and aren’t even close to being worth it as compared to Darkwolf, Vire Sabers, etc.
@@LandoSabers thanks for the response I have heard some ok things about them, but they have always seemed kind of shady. I didn’t know that they did lie, thanks for the info! Love your vids.
Can I ask why people don't like Ultrasabers? I know they're a bit expensive and they don't offer the neopixel sabers, but I had zero issues with my saber from them.
I have Electrum Sabercrafts neo pixel Remnant. I uses CFX, PROFFIE fonts on it all the time. Mainly Kyberphonics; they just seem to work better. Its not without its faults. The fonts work well though I feel as though not every piece of audio is utilized. Not sure why.
It’s due to the optimization of the soundfonts. When you buy fonts from SaberFont.com, there is a section that specifies fonts that are “smooth-swing optimized for CFX” and similar for Proffie. I believe Kyberphonic’s fonts follow the same format, and un-optimized soundboards are unable to fully utilize every sound and feature.
I haven’t personally dealt with Kyberlight (although I know people have had positive experiences with them), but my video on the most inexpensive combat/stunt saber on the market is going live today at 11am CST! Since this saber accepts a 1” blade, you can swap it out with any length that is suitable for a child
Do you have any advice looking for a curved hilt saber? I don't want to go saberforge but they're one of the only ones I can find with a curved hilt option. I feel like I'm just not looking in the right places maybe?
Haven’t gotten a lightsaber before and I was doing some research and came across this video. How good/bad is saberforge? It was one of the first companies I ran across though I’ll likely buy one from one of these stores.
Saberforge has decent quality sabers with poor installs, and terrible customer service. Very many of the same issues as Ultrasabers, and I do not recommend either.
You know I’m not too familiar with the numbers and all that. But I want a lightsaber from Sabertrio, one that I can just swing around and have all the sounds and good lighting on the blade. Can you help me out and pick the right one cause I’m not too informative on this type of things but I really REALLY want one. I trust your judgement and would like some knowledge from you to buy the right one for me liking. Please and thank you 🙏🏿
Wish I would have found this and the "don't buy from ultrasabers" video prior to making my purchase. I ended up getting a pair of neopixel sabers with a coupler from them. While I actually like the finish and balance on them, my blades were doing rapid, multi-color flashing on the blades. Their customer service has been ghosting me for about 2 weeks now, and the saberforums are a fucking joke. Just as dead there as it is in my inbox. Can't even get a simple answer as to wtf multi-color flashing is from them. Probably gonna go with Sabertrio for a crossguard saber whenever they restock their store. Thanks for the videos, man. You're a much bigger help than you realize.
So I guess, for me, I've been looking for sabers that are really great, but would be for on a budget. Like really great quality and brightness for multiple,if not, all colors for heavy grade dueling/stunt lightsabers, for someone who's on a budget.
The one dislike is from Ultra Sabers
This is so funny
No more like it's from saber Pro
good info! Currently making a "Top Lightsaber companies" video myself, and this has been super valuable. Thanks for helping this community!
Thanks! If you need any more info on Sabertrio, I just posted an hour long video about them LOL
@@LandoSabers I'm trying my best to keep this entire video under 10 mins hahahah. No but Sabertrio is pretty fascinating though. Very impressed by their website and level of customer service. I can see why you like them!
I saw it,its good
It's a complete custom design and amazing electronics
So that video turned DOOOOPE
I was ABOUT to buy a lightsaber-- my very first-- from ultrasabers, but then I saw your video about them. I have to thank you for that.
I was a bit too late for the video 😬 now I have a red flashlight. Yay. Good for astronomy camp I guess.
@@koolguy47 ouch haha
@@koolguy47 except Ultrasabers are good tho soooooooooooo
I almost got mine from ultrasabers as well. Thanks Lando.
@@ShadowManV3 said no one ever
Before i watch this video I just want to say im a big fan of the channel i actually binged all your content yesterday. Currently got a SF and VV hilts on the way and can't wait to finally get some neopixel sabers. Big love! great channel, and keep making these vids they help alot of new people and medium level entry saber enthusiasts such as myself. Great work
Thank you man! Really appreciate it :)
luv u semz thanks for letting me no bout this channel - subbed
@@LandoSabers hello. Not sure how this works. I wanted to chat with you about sabers. Looking for some pointers. If you don't mind.
Same
Neither thought I would see you here I'm a big fan
I'm glad I do my research on everything. Was finally looking into actually buying a lightsaber and ultrasabers was the only site that I knew of, watched this video and the other one. I'm just glad I was window shopping and didn't go through with any purchase.
Sabertrio is such a great company. Every interaction I’ve had with them have been so warm and their customer service reps are very friendly.
"Sabertrio has better customer service than chick-fil-a"
Impossible

The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
Made a purchase just now of the Senza from Sabertrio. I want to come express my gratitude for your videos as they helped me to make my decision greatly. You educated and saved me from making a regrettable purchase from Ultrasabers. I appreciate you, Stoney Magnum, Darth Cephalus, Darth Koopa, and Sir James. All of your guidance was unparalleled for lightsaber knowledge. I will try to make some videos on it and the recent Luke replica hilt I bought from Aliexpress (test the waters). Thank you for the inspiration, motivation, and great channel. I wish the best in your endeavors and may the force be with you always!
Thank you SO much! Seeing things like this make me really glad that I decided to put these videos out. I promise that you're gonna love your saber, and I promise that Sabertrio will make 100% sure that you are fully satisfied with your purchase. Good luck and have fun!
My first Lightsaber Arrived today. It’s perfect for the price, Color Tuning, Lock up, Blaster Deflect, *6* Sound fonts (Luke, Vader, Kylo, Cal Kestis, +2 more.) Volume adjustment, and Blade effects, and it’s only for 79$! ( Mystery Box ) Love it, you should check it out as well, The Mystery Box is found at Crimson Dawn, love it.
@Luitenent F1-57 All of crimson dawn's lightsabers come in all colors and fonts. You are guaranteed to receive a color changing lightsaber with at least 6 sound fonts (they arent always the same, they have different sets of fonts)
Thank you, you are showing us quality sabers! I was an inch away from buying from UltraSabers until I found you and realized the sinister darkness behind the galaxy.
I was about to buy 2 light saber worth 2281 from ultra saber and you my friends saved me a lot of money! I was able to get 6 with that amount thank you !! You earn a subscriber!!

I’m fairly new to purchasing sabers, and I’m not really a fan of the NeoPixel blades so far, but the company I’ve had experience with so far is Rebel Sabers. The owner, Will, is very friendly when it comes to customer service, the price range considering the ECO Smooth Swing soundboard is literally unbelievable, and the hilts are all made with very high quality materials. I haven’t had a single problem with the dual Akimbo sabers I bought from him, and when the green LED wouldn’t work, he sent me an entire new soundboard free of charge. I’d definitely recommend Rebel Sabers, especially if you’re a beginner to lightsabers like myself. I’ve had my eye on Electrum Sabers for a while now, but I’ll be checking out SaberTrio soon.
I just knew number one would be Sabertrio, they are so awesome
I’ve been thinking of buying a saber for the past 5 years and I can’t seem to do it
I Darth Koopa approve this video 👌🏼
Hell yeah boi! Maybe one day we should collab on a vid 👀
Lando Sabers that would be dope dude i’m down
Aww shit!! This is the collab video we need but don't deserve
Master, what shall i do next.
King Koopa!?
Mario: KOOPA!!??
Keep up the great videos man, your really helping me with buying my first lightsaber.
Thank you! Good luck!
I love how you break down alot of the tech or contrast in lightsaber purchases to PC building; as both are tech's that you can build or pre-buy once you understand it.. I myself built my own PC so this speaks to me very well..
Goodbye Ultrasabers..!!
was so close to buying theirs as my first.. good thing I did my research.. =)
Hey I just wanted to comment that I've recently gotten interested in lightsabers (again). I have some of the old Master FX ones and more recently, the Black Series ones. I've always wanted something more realistic and when I saw your video on the neopixel I was blown away. I want to thank you for putting out all these videos about the different companies and their pros/cons. I am DEFINITELY going to be buying from SaberTrio once they reopen next March. Thank you!!
I'm working on a theater degree, and I think I basically figured out why lightsabers are so damn cool lol. Star Wars is in the genre of Space Opera, it isn't a literal opera of course, but what are the two coolest things that can happen on a stage? SWORD FIGHTS AND PYROTECHNICS! Lightsabers combine both unlike anything else. As far as I know, there are no plays or operas that utilize imitation lightsabers, and I think that's a damn shame, maybe I should write one (completely disconnected from the star wars universe of course, don't come at me Disney!)
i wish saber trio would make one with graflex, or a more slanted emitter like the skylar but steeper
I'm getting back into sabers after being away for nearly a decade. Thanks for helping me get up to speed on the current options.
You’re welcome! If you want more options, check out my Part 1 and Part 2 videos on the best lightsabers for every budget range :)
I was going to buy from Ultra Sabers and it seemed like many of their sabers looked very cool, especially with the customization. I just wanted to make sure I was making the right decision and now I’m a little worried. I don’t want a lightsaber to come in half a year, just one that looks “clean” and can duel. I’ll do a little more research before I choose the company I like.
If you have any suggestions on what company is best for dueling lightsabers, feel free to let me know. I appreciate it so much.
@@CABax-pq3re try maz saber, those seem to be able to take a beating
This was genuinely a really informative guide, I now have a WAAAY better idea and understanding of what to look for if I decide to purchase one of these. I think I'm going to purchase one in the near future now, Tyvm!
Absolutely! Check out a few of my other videos (The Best Lightsabers for Every Budget (Part 1 & 2) to see some in-depth options for every price range!
just wanted to say thank you for this video and the information contained in it. I got my first Sabertrio lightsaber at about this time last year when I was testing out 3 different saber companies...one of which is the shall not be named, the other saberforge. The Sabertrio is by far the best Saber I received. It was just their simple VX saber in the Skylar hilt with a blued weather finish. Gorgeous. Now I just wish they could reopen again so I can order my first Neopixel.
Thanks for this dude. I'm fairly new to sabers and managed to save myself from a bad/shady first purchase thanks to your videos. Keep up the great work and may the Force be with you, too. 🚀
I just found your channel because I’ve been researching sabertrio I’ve been talking to them they’re great with customer service I’ve been stuck deciding between the vektra and the aeryn and the Skylar
All three are great options! My personal favorite of Sabertrio’s choices would have to be either the Senza or the Brushed Silver Reaver with silver claws. That looks absolutely unreal to me, and Sabertrio has done that custom silver claw mod for a customer before. Excellent company!
Bro you just saved me from buying from Artsabers- like they were pricey for Ashoka’s design. Then I saw Electrum Sabers. I dont need a lot of fonts honestly and they have a design inspired by Ahsoka’s lightsaber and I can still give it my own customization.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!
I am subscribed until I become one with the Force!
I'm planning on getting my first saber soon, and I'm really happy I stumbled upon your channel!
once i heard the obsidian soundboard i went STRAIGHT to youtube to find something better thank you for making this video or else i wouldn’t have heard of neopixel and proffie/cfx
could you make a video on rebel sabers. i’ve seen you casually mention them but would like to know more. i just order their new dark apprentice saber and can’t wait for it to come in!!
Rebel Sabers is essentially the exact same thing as Crimson Dawn, Vire Sabers, or Darkwolf Sabers, except they’re a bit more expensive.
@@LandoSabers thank you for answering my comment!!
I was gonna spend so much money with ultrasabers a couple of weeks ago and then I was fortunate enough to see your videos. Im so glad i didnt throw my money away. Im new to this hobby and cant wait for my new sabers to arrive from Neosabers!
Sabertrio is a company I want to look into. Thanks for the input!
Hey, it’s me again from your last video. I changed my profile picture btw. Thanks for making this video! Great content. There’s not many you tube
rs who reply to their subscribers. Thanks for the great content. ✌️
Thank you for supporting the channel! And I wanted to be able to relate personally to my viewers and subscribers, and the best way to do that is to respond and answer their questions! I am a bit upset that many youtubers don’t tend to follow the same train of thought, but I will try my hardest to reply to all relevant comments and support!
I don't own my own saber but your videos are top tier for recommendations. Thank you for all the information you share with us!
Very informative. Thank you for your research on these companies. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for this information! I took your advice! I ordered the New Sovereign Elite saber from Vader’s Vault and also the Ultimate Works Savage Order “Brother” staff saber from The Pach Store!!! Your review, as far as I can tell, is spot on. Both of these companies are awesome!! I tried to buy from Sabertrio, but they had zero selection right now.
Yeah, Sabertrio is not accepting orders until the end of March, due to Covid restrictions where they live. They wanted to finish all the previous orders before accepting new ones, in the case that they have to actually shut down or something.
ONE DAY UR GONNA GET 100k Subscribers I’ll be waiting
Great video, and I agree with your top 5 in terms of hitting those 3 main value points, but I kinda need to point something out. So Korbanth primarily acts as a reseller for the hilts they offer, although the board assembly into their chassis they do do themselves. The majority of the screen accurate hilts they get are from 89Sabers which is based (I believe) in China or Hong Kong. And you're correct in that they also do a lot of collaboration with companies like KR Sabers as well. The reason most folks go to Korbanth is that they are based in the US, so it's a lot easier for American & Canadian customers to get sabers from them than from 89sabers. You can order direct from 89sabers, but their customer service isn't very good. You'll even notice that when you order from them and get your box, it will have a sleeve on it with the Korbanth logo, but when you slide it off, you'll see 89sabers on the actual box.
Also, not sure if you were aware, but SaberForge - as of June 1st - now offers neopixel as well. It's only available for their Hero Tier sabers, and for some of their crystal sabers, hero tier/neopixel is the only selection you can get. SF is doing something slightly different with their neopixel where they are doing a thread-in blade.
And lastly, if you're not familiar with this company I highly encourage you to check out Bendu Armory. They came on the scene in 2018, and specialize in carbon fiber hilt sleeves with swappable internal chassis cores. They build with CFX, and offer neopixel as well as in-hilt LED/RGB. Their price point is $385 for RGB, and $510 for neopixel. They design their sabers with dueling in mind, and are the only saber company I know of that warranties their heavy grade neopixel blades for dueling. Their customer service is very good, and they actively develop new products frequently. They also actively update on their FB site, as well as in the Rebel Armory FB group.
MTFBWY!
I am aware of the dynamic between Korbanth and 89Sabers. I am also painfully aware that the owner of 89Sabers is a scamming POS, which is why I am not even telling my viewers about buying from them directly. The vast majority of my viewers are from the United States/Canada anyway, and I know that they would not be comfortable ordering from China, especially not directly from them.
Also, I will never recommend Saberforge on this channel. They may have gotten their act together with the quality of their sabers, but I cannot ignore the major issues plaguing that company, namely their recent awful customer service (I know about the wildfires, I’m talking about before all that), shipping broken and incorrect sabers, and Phil Isherwood, their owner, being a monumental POS. It’s getting to the point where I’m comparing him to Emory Harris of Ultrasabers. I won’t support or give money to someone who calls himself a god, nor will I support a business that blocks its customers from social media after asking about their order from 18 weeks ago.
I have just recently heard about Bendu Armory, and I will likely include them in one of my upcoming videos. Thanks for the tip!
MTFBWY!
@@LandoSabers Yes, that is what I've heard about 89Sabers as well. It seems that they mostly do business with other saber companies that purchase in bulk, but if you - as an individual - order from them you are likely to get screwed. I believe Sidious Sabers did a review/commentary about that as well.
Re: SaberForge. I appreciate your opinion on them, and you're not wrong at all. I think for SF, they are still a cut above UltraSabers, mainly because they - as a saber company - have made strides to improve both their product and their processes. They are still way behind the curve (the 5 you list are far better, IMO). I only mentioned them because they have only recently released NeoPixel, so I was curious if you had considered them and rejected them. Sounds like the answer is yes =)
I would say, keep an eye on SF. Where UltraSabers' trend line is declining, SF's line is ascending. They were far worse 1-2 years ago than they are now, but they still aren't there yet. They really need to get their customer service under control, and also their ASP production & shipping. It's just whack at the moment. And I do agree wholeheartedly about phil. He's a very anti-social guy, who's not really into the hobby. Like Emory, this is mostly business for him. For many of the companies you've mentioned, their owners/managers are also saber enthusiasts and I think that makes a big difference in overall customer relationships.
You'll love Bendu =)
Take care! Thanks again for the vids. Love them!
My Neo Senza just came today and I’m in love. I wish I would’ve done more research before I got my previous two sabers. They were sadly from Ultrasabers. I have they’re death Revan butcher one which is neat and all but the neo Senza was 100x better. Their customer service is unmatched.
Thanks for all your info. I am looking into buying my first saber and have been researching a lot of the companies. Sabertrio sadly isnt taking any orders until maybe Christmas time. I came across Bendu Armory and they seem to be interesting. Their blades look nice they have good neopixel blades and say that they are all duel ready. They make carbon fibre and have a interchangeable core. The quality looks good and the sound board is the CFX. Price point seems to be on par with the rest. Do you know anything about them? Are they on point with the ones mentioned in your video? From what I read they might be better then electorcum sabres. Awesome videos by the way. Watching them makes me want a saber even more.
Thanks! And yes, I have heard of Bendu Armory and I have started to do some research on them. If you can be patient for maybe a week, I’m going to be posting an extremely in-depth analysis of great in-stock saber options for every single budget range. Bendu Armory will be included in that video! I just need some time to film and edit it, as it will be a lot of work, and likely a long video.
@@LandoSabers I definitely have some time to be patient. The goal is to buy 2 sabers as I want to be able to dual with friends and spouse, but have to buy them 1 at a time. I look forward to your video. I also subscribed buddy great job on your videos thabks for making them! Thanks for taking the time to respond. I am super pumped to order and receive my first Saber just have to pick a vendor. Bendu looks like you get a good quality blade for around 500US. Like a childhood dream about to be fulfilled haha!
I just bought 3 sabers from Rebel Sabers, outstanding customer service and the sabers are excellent.
You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber! Very informative video, I think I’m gonna go straight to sabertrio! I’m not planning on collecting but I would like one amazing lightsaber to be my centrepiece so better go for the best!
Thank you for this info, now I have to wait until March to get my neopixel LS it will be my first one but well worth the wait. Thank you again and stay safe.
My grandparents are going to give me $300 for a sabertreo and I’m saving up money so I cannot wait to get one
Just ordered from ultrasabre prior to seeing your other video. guess I got lucky I recieved my custom graflex within a week. this was my first Sabre and was pleased with what I recieved. although I did think I was receiving an updated sound board technology. I will definitely look into other option for my next sabre. awesome and informative videos keep it up.
As a cosplayer in Oregon I always see "Saberforge" at conventions (they are based here), and I'm curious if you've heard of them and what your thoughts are on the products and company.
Personally I've heard pretty polarizing things regarding the customer service.
They have a good bit of customization and designs regarding their sabers, however, their customer service has been known to be pretty bad especially this year, they have shipped out broken sabers and refused to repair or refund them, have blocked customers on social media after asking questions about their orders, etc. I’m not sure if that’s a widespread issue as much as Ultrasabers, but I definitely have heard about those things, and I don’t personally recommend them, unless you’ve had good experiences with them in the past.
Waiting to hear back from Sabertrio as they out of stock. Going to be worth the wait. Again thanks for the videos!! who else makes a dual blade set up?
I think my ultimate saber is that badaxx. I love curved hilts. Only other company that stocks or makes curved hilts are saberforge. The bane mk 2 looks good but it is saberforge.
Agree with Electrum Sabercraft's Evoflex is an awesome saber.
A very good company is dark wolf custom sabers, bought a neopixel from them and I love it
Yep, I’ve covered them in a few videos already.
What do you think of Evolution Arms light sabers? They have a Hero with Crystal Focus that looks really awesome!!! They are expensive, but what have you heard? I went with your recommendations on The Pach Store and Vader’s Vault!! I hope you feel better, man!!!
I took your recommendation yesterday and I checked out sabertrio, and I definitely see why you would choose them. As soon as I get the money im going to try to order all the sabers I need (which is like 4)
Which hilts are your favorite? Mine are the Vektra, Reaver, Aeryn, and Skylar. The Vahlken is also gorgeous ;)
I like them all, but if i had to choose for my personal saber it would be 2 skylars put together, one blue and one green. But I'm ordering 4 because me and my friends have been planning to film a star wars fan film and im producing it so yeah. Once I can im ordering the Skylar, the aeryn, and probably the arclyte and reaver
@@Expunged16 Nice! Make sure you buy a coupler with those, and if I were you, I'd dm Sabertrio and ask them if you will be able to purchase those at re-opening, as they may do a limit per customer. They are very nice people so they will be able to take care of you!
Yeah I will, the sad thing is I don't have the money right now so even if I wanted to purchase as soon as they re opened I cant but yeah ill make sure I contact them about it. It sucks because the company that won't be mentioned on your channel threw a wrench in our plans so we have to wait even longer then planned before we even have all the props ready but the nice thing is we already have casting and costume design finished. So hopefully I can get that 80% of my money (because of there "restock" fee) back and get a head start on saving for those new sabers
I would actually recommend filing a dispute with PayPal or your bank and getting your money back that way. Ultrasabers will never give you your money back, and they are actually in violation of the Federal Trade Commission’s bylaws by doing that.
Loved the list and I Completely Agree with SaberTrio being the Top of the Saber Makers i received my reaver and Valkinn neo sabers last friday and have been astounded by their quality and technology but most astounding is my agility with my reaver in particular has immediately doubled they are virtually Magical in their design and leap from hand to hand without fail and omg the Cfx sound fonts are diverse and spectacular and speaker is amazing
Fully agreed. Sabertrio’s quality/price/customer service ratio is elite, and their sabers are incredibly comfortable to wield, as well as insanely advanced!
I'd like to add, many of these companies also sell on Etsy and ebay, often for pretty cheap.
What about SaberForge? They are very pricey, but hands down best machine made sabers in my mind. That being said I would agree to the Ranking of this video is fairly accurate.
Hi I’m a big fan of the channel but I’m much more of a double bladed light saber guy and the only place I’ve seen a half decent looking double bladed light saber is Ultrasaber I don’t want to order from them but I can’t find many places do you have any suggestions?
Loved the video! And all of these can be used for dueling? I really want to get one with the best sound quality and lighting, but have it be able to duel as well.
Agree with you 100% on SaberTrio being #1. By far (and I mean BY FAR the best saber company I have ever dealt with). I will comment on Korbanth tho .... their current install team is terrible. Several posts on the Universal Lightsaber FB group and the Saber Callouts group showcasing the poor quality that they are currently putting out. The Graflex Supreme I had across my desk this month was shameful (I had to completely rewire it). Soldering was a mess. Multiple failures. Several stripped threads in key areas (that would have been done at the install stage), too that I had to deal with and work around.
I have to agree with you on that. Since I posted that video, I’ve been hearing more and more about Korbanth’s install team, and now the only thing I’ll buy from them is a hilt, which is just 89Sabers or KR, or whomever.
So I have been watching most of your videos to get a better idea on what type/brand of light saber to purchase. I want to hit things with it and I want the smooth swing is a must. I don’t mind for the movie replicas as long as the product I buy is high quality and lasts long. I do want the cool sound effects though. Should I purchase from saber trio or neo pixel or what would you suggest? The hilts don’t have to be movie replicas. I was looking at neopixel apprentice adamant. I just need more assistance since you already did the homework. Thank you so much for your videos and your time. Greatly appreciate.
What an awesome informative video. Thank you!
I've got 2 from Electrum Sabercrafts...only complaint is the app isn't Android friendly. The sabers themselves are amazing.
Yeah that’s exactly what I’ve heard. Poor Android owners :/
I really want a realistic lightsaber that can change colors and sounds. I really want to buy from sabertrio but they rarely ever have anything available and today on their website it says they won’t be selling anything until after Christmas break. What company would you most recommend for a really bright realistic lightsaber that can change colors and sounds besides sabertrio?
As mentioned in my video, my top 3 are Sabertrio, Vader's Vault, and Korbanth, in that order. Sabertrio is my number one because they have the perfect blend of great pricing, excellent quality, and amazing customer service. Vader's Vault and Korbanth are great options as well, but they are usually more expensive than Sabertrio.
Sabertrio's store is currently closed because they are a smaller store than most of the other companies on my list, so they cannot remain open 24/7, 365 like other stores, constantly taking on more and more orders. That would cause huge delays, with people placing an order and not getting it for 4-8 months because the order queue is so large. They used to not have any problem staying open, but because of Darth Koopa's video on them having almost 2 million views, plus coronavirus, plus many recent positive reviews on them including my first video, they have gained so much interest and popularity that the amount of orders coming in are so many that they do not feel comfortable accepting any more right now, because they like being able to build and ship sabers in a timely manner. They reopened for 2 days and sold out very quickly.
If you really want to get the best deal on a great saber, I'd say to wait until they reopen and choose a Neopixel from them. If you're impatient and really want one right now, then The Pach Store, Electrum SaberCrafts, Korbanth, Vader's Vault, and Genesis Custom Sabers all have great options at different price points. If you are new to this and aren't very lightsaber tech-savvy, then I'd recommend getting one that has a Crystal Focus 10 (CFX) soundboard installed, as it is the easiest top-tier soundboard to operate. GCS, Vader's Vault, and some Korbanth sabers offer CFX sabers, while the Pach Store offers sabers with either an Asteria 2.5 soundboard or a Proffie soundboard. Both are great boards, but are more difficult to operate than a CFX. Electrum SaberCrafts offers their sabers with the Diatium3 soundboard, which I don't have any experience with, but customers say that it isn't too difficult to operate.
Whatever you choose to do, please stay away from Ultrasabers and Saberforge. I posted a long video about Ultrasabers and why you shouldn't give them your money, but Saberforge has been experiencing very similar issues, and they had to evacuate due to the west coast wildfires, and there is no telling if the factory will even be safe or not. DX Sabers is also a huge scammer, so avoid them as well. If you need any more advice, feel free to check out the r/lightsabers subreddit, and ask or look around. They have a helpful buyer's guide (which is linked in this video's description) and a lot of people willing to help out. Hope that answers your question!
I just bought two VV sabers and I feel equally excited and sick (so much money). Would you say sabers by them retain some value of their value over time?
Great video!!! I was wondering if you can change the ignition flash an lockup/clash/blaster colors for CFX?? I’m getting my first Neopixel soon and I’m so excited it’s a build from a saber smith but I’m really trying to get my hands on a Sabertrio how long do you think it will take for them to have there stock full 24/7 I think when they reopen on the 31st they’ll only have 500 hilts that’s gonna go so fast
I go over the ignition and retraction effects in one of my other videos, and I’ll be doing videos on the lockup and clash and blasters in the future. I really don’t know how long it will take for Sabertrio to be full 24/7, as they are still considered a smaller company, and they ship out about 100-175 sabers a week if they’re really pushing. Because they have to get their PlecterPixel connectors from an entirely different continent, it may take longer for them to ship out their Neopixel sabers if, say 1000 or 2000 people order them at a time. Like they said in their post, they don’t want to bite off more than they can chew (unlike Ultrasabers) and would rather keep the lead times to a minimum. That being said, I really don’t have a guess on when they would be able to be fully open again, as my first video and Darth Koopa’s videos have put a ton of attention on that company and they will likely sell out their stock in less than an hour. There’s really no telling, but if you really want one and aren’t able to get one on August 31st, dm them on Instagram or Facebook and they’ll hook you up. They tend to do that if you’re really serious about getting one :)
loving your content dude! very honest and informative. FYI, minute 29:29 gave me MAJOR ANXIETY for your monitor and hilt hahaha
Hey man, great video again. I was thinking about getting a Skylar saber, but I don’t know what else to add to it. I would like a saber that I can display and sometimes take off and whack my friends with it or spin it around and have it make sounds or something...any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
Sabertrio offers three tiers of sabers: Stunt (light, with no sound), FX (light, with sound), and Neopixel (extremely bright light, fully customizable sound with CFX soundboard). If you order a Skylar with FX or Neopixel, you will have a saber that can play sounds, and look great. In all three tiers, you can remove the blade with the hex key included with the saber. I own a Neopixel Vektra, and it is absolutely unreal. Neopixel sabers do become a bit pricey, but their price is definitely justified by the technology that is utilized. If you have any questions regarding Sabertrio and their possible customizations, you can always dm them on Instagram or Facebook, or email them, and they should get back to you shortly!
Lando Sabers Thanks again! I would have gone off your last comment, but I don’t know saber terms well enough, so simplifying really helped me 😁
It's crazy how much Vader's Vault Neopixel prices increased this year... now they are more expensive than Korbanth
I just came here from your other video about why to not buy lightsaber from ultra saber
Great video, do you think I could find a good Luke Skywalker Neopixel for less than 600?
I want it to look really similar to the movies, don’t care toooo much about sound though.
I wanted to know your opinion on the saved company called Rebel Sabers. Have you done research into them? So far I’ve received great of the three main things you talked about (price, customer service, (I actually haven’t received the saber yet)). The customer service has been fantastic and responding in less than 5 hours. The shipping is free (in the US) and fast (ordered my saber Dec 23rd and it’s supposed to arrive today (Jan 4th)). They also advertise really good quality in terms of dualing. Have you heard of them and what’s your opinion on them?
I’ve recommended them in a video or two.
Been sharing your vids to all of my friends who are interested in sabers
*ive been looking forward to this*
Great video. Very informative. I noticed Sabertrio store isn't open until November. Do they sell out quick in your experience. I saw a used one on ebay but I'd like to wait for a new one
They do sell out pretty quick. The last time they reopened, their website crashed, partially due to the amount of internet traffic. Because of that, they reopened a few days later for 24 hours, and took the limit off their order capacity. I don’t know exactly how they’ll handle this reopening, but you might want to follow them on Instagram or Facebook as they post updates every week, and will provide more info on the reopening in the coming weeks!
I would switch Korbanth and Vaders Vault because Vaders Vault takes 4-6 months to get. Granted their sabers are too quality and are custom order, but the length of time it takes to get a saber from them I switch their placing with Korbanth.
Considering Korbanth’s current quality of installations, I will definitely not switch them. Too many issues to warrant that.
Could u make a video about lgt store, im thinking of buying there and probably a lot of other people as well bc it's realtor cheap and lightsabers are just too expensive to buy elsewhere especially movie replicas
talk about your thoughts on imperial workshop! I would love to see your opinion.
they’re a reseller that have constantly lied to their customers and their own suppliers, even after being warned not to, and are only relevant because of TikTokers.
they’re literally nothing special at all and aren’t even close to being worth it as compared to Darkwolf, Vire Sabers, etc.
@@LandoSabers thanks for the response I have heard some ok things about them, but they have always seemed kind of shady. I didn’t know that they did lie, thanks for the info! Love your vids.
we truly live in the greatest timeline because sabertrio is a fantastic company
wow that was almost as fast as there customer service
Can I ask why people don't like Ultrasabers? I know they're a bit expensive and they don't offer the neopixel sabers, but I had zero issues with my saber from them.
I have Electrum Sabercrafts neo pixel Remnant. I uses CFX, PROFFIE fonts on it all the time. Mainly Kyberphonics; they just seem to work better. Its not without its faults. The fonts work well though I feel as though not every piece of audio is utilized. Not sure why.
It’s due to the optimization of the soundfonts. When you buy fonts from SaberFont.com, there is a section that specifies fonts that are “smooth-swing optimized for CFX” and similar for Proffie. I believe Kyberphonic’s fonts follow the same format, and un-optimized soundboards are unable to fully utilize every sound and feature.
Best company for extra heavy duty dueling saber?
Me not seeing Crimson Dawn: "TRAITOR!!!"
But in all seriousness great video! I love Sabertrio myself and can't wait to get a saber from them one day.
lol yeah, I wasn’t familiar with Crimson Dawn at the time of filming this video. But nice man, I’m sure you’ll love it!
What is your opinion on Kyberlight, or could you recommend a company for a child that's only going to use it for combat?
I haven’t personally dealt with Kyberlight (although I know people have had positive experiences with them), but my video on the most inexpensive combat/stunt saber on the market is going live today at 11am CST! Since this saber accepts a 1” blade, you can swap it out with any length that is suitable for a child
@@LandoSabers thanks!
Forget use....if you want it to combat or to wear ..or to display...I do all three.....
Ciao, do you think is worth to spend for the neopixel model or is enough the tri cree led? is there s really big different? Grazie mille!
Do you have any advice looking for a curved hilt saber? I don't want to go saberforge but they're one of the only ones I can find with a curved hilt option. I feel like I'm just not looking in the right places maybe?
was going to get from ultra sabers. thank you
Can you make a video with some lightsaber companies in Europe?
I will do one in the future, been planning on it for a while!
Haven’t gotten a lightsaber before and I was doing some research and came across this video. How good/bad is saberforge? It was one of the first companies I ran across though I’ll likely buy one from one of these stores.
Saberforge has decent quality sabers with poor installs, and terrible customer service. Very many of the same issues as Ultrasabers, and I do not recommend either.
@@LandoSabers ah definitely good to know. Thanks!
You know I’m not too familiar with the numbers and all that. But I want a lightsaber from Sabertrio, one that I can just swing around and have all the sounds and good lighting on the blade. Can you help me out and pick the right one cause I’m not too informative on this type of things but I really REALLY want one. I trust your judgement and would like some knowledge from you to buy the right one for me liking. Please and thank you 🙏🏿
Check my new video on Sabertrio, where literally any question you have about them may be answered.
Whats your opinium on saberforge?
Which ones are best for dueling??
Amazing video you nailed everything
I started to look at the pachstore sabers and i saw the WonderForce Tenryu Custom Katana Saber and Im just wondering what "Fully installed" is
How do you feel about Crimson Dawn? From my research it looks like their sabers offer a huge bang for your buck.
I’ve recommended them plenty of times on my channel!
I bought from Ultrasabers. And i regret it. I got it today not even worth it. They didnt give me everything. And left me 4 buisness cards
I know how you feel, I ordered one in febuary and got it yesterday, so so so stupid never ordering from them again
@@jake6080 well ig dont order from ultra sabers.How muhc was ur saber looking to buy one
As of the time I typed this message, the inventory of Sabertrio is completely sold out.
Wish I would have found this and the "don't buy from ultrasabers" video prior to making my purchase. I ended up getting a pair of neopixel sabers with a coupler from them. While I actually like the finish and balance on them, my blades were doing rapid, multi-color flashing on the blades. Their customer service has been ghosting me for about 2 weeks now, and the saberforums are a fucking joke. Just as dead there as it is in my inbox. Can't even get a simple answer as to wtf multi-color flashing is from them. Probably gonna go with Sabertrio for a crossguard saber whenever they restock their store. Thanks for the videos, man. You're a much bigger help than you realize.
So I guess, for me, I've been looking for sabers that are really great, but would be for on a budget. Like really great quality and brightness for multiple,if not, all colors for heavy grade dueling/stunt lightsabers, for someone who's on a budget.
What do you think about ally sabers?
