Yes, and I agree with Olos about the crystal lighting up -- nice! :-)

Yes. The filters enable me to switch colors. Otherwise, I'd be stuck with either red, or purple. And I hear they don't make purple LED's.  |

Have you dueled with it?? How stable is it? Easy handling and wielding??

I"m upgrading my standard MR FX blade to an ultrablade hoping it will light up better.

Thats what I'm looking for, espiecally being with the "dueling force" Darth Bats has put together. Can't use my FX for that. What type hilt do you have Qui-Kel ??

I own two Ultrasabers and are happy with both. Both models are the stunt model and I've added grips, etc to change the look a bit.

I seem to have missed this thread earlier! We use Ultrasabers in our community ed classes (stunt model and padawan stunt model) and I have to say that after at least 15 classes with over 150 rabid young SW fans (mostly of the 8-12 year old boy variety), they've held up suprisingly well. We have had minor issues with a switch, and only recently an issue with a cap and filter tube coming unglued. This is after a year and a half of heavy use on 12 sabers. Neither the other instructor or I have had any issues with our own sabers. I did modify mine by adding weight to the hilt for better balance, but other than being more blade-heavy than I like (unavoidable), it's just fine. I'm considering sending them my MR Yoda to convert, as it has gaps in the blade.

other than being more blade-heavy than I like (unavoidable), it's just fine. I wouldn't use the term "unavoidable"... you could add weight on the pommel side to counter the blade. you might not want to do that, but it is a possibility, so being blade-heavy is NOT unavoidable. On another hand, the blade weight is cool to use to your benefit if the overall balance of the saber is there. |

You're right, Olos. I have already added some weight to the hilt, but as I am small to begin with, there is a point where I would simply not be able to wield the saber if I add enough weight to really balance the weight of the heavy-duty blade. I'm a bit spoiled because my costume sabers (non-electronic props) will accept a woven carbon-fibre blade that, in comparison to the Ultrasaber, really does feel weightless!

Remember, they are sabers. Not swords. Its OK to wield them with two hands, like in the original trilogy  on a more serious note, I find the blade weight to help with some motions... its not all bad to have a blade-heavy lightsaber, as long as you can use it to your benefits. Balance doesn't have to be perfect for you to perform. |
