Thanks everyone, I'll go on the red back garrison later and have a look, I didn't have the pleasure in meeting sniper, but hear he was a lovely person.

"Noooooo, the Ultimate FX sabers that you get from Toys 'R' Us are considered toys and will not be accepted by a Costume Judge. The sabers that are acceptable are the Force FX sabers and most independent saber makers (Ultrasabers, Vader's Vault, etc). Just an FYI Smile"
Well I can still quote stone age style. I see where I was confused! The names are so similar :S
5. Lightsaber: (No toy sabers, no Ultimate FX short saber).
I'll just be crawling back into my box then, until i'm ready for the trials...

Ok so I've now got pants and have cut out the outer tunic, bought and cut out the tabards, which I am making out of suede.
Pics to come
RE: New jedi - Hopfot - 15-05-2014
oooh, suede tabbards, sounds nice.
RE: New jedi - Scoutjockie - 16-05-2014
I have question, I really like the look at the sabers on ultra sabers, does anyone have one of these? And what did you think of it when you got it? also the service that they gave you, fast easy any problems..
Cheers

I posted this in another thread about my experience with Ultrasabers:
(10-05-2014, 08:18 PM)Satay Wrote: I'm going to be honest, when my sabers for Ahsoka arrived, one was malfunctioning. It kept turning itself off and when I checked the battery pack, it was hot to the touch and smoking slightly. I emailed Ultrasabers straight away and the response I got was ... dubious. It came across as very "I don't believe you". I had to pay to ship it back to them for repairs (pretty standard with most online purchases), but it still cost a neat little chunk. And when I received it back, it just had a hand scrawled note that basically said, "Fixed."
AND they charged me double postage, even though they shipped the sabers in the one box.
Based on their average customer service, I'd be hesitant to order from them again
That said, they are great sabers and good quality. Alpha Prime ordered his before I ordered mine and had no issues whatsoever. I know this is the same for other members too. I think it's a 50-50 kind of gamble as to whether you'll have a good experience.
RE: New jedi - Hopfot - 16-05-2014
I like them. Of the 7 sabers I've bought, only 1 have I had any trouble with, and it was a Grab Bag saber which does have a disclaimer that the saber may have problems, So I would say they are pretty good.
However as Satay pointed out, others seem to have had bad experiences and others good experiences. as can be same said for any of the custom FX-Saber makers out there.
To add though, one of our members, Zerebin, has been teaching himself how to repair and modify Ultrasabers should any problems occur.
RE: New jedi - Scoutjockie - 16-05-2014
Oh ok
Thanks heaps guys, good to know.
This is the belt that I got, it's the brown 1
RE: New jedi - Apok - 16-05-2014
I have the brown belt. They are good.
If you get an Ultrasaber you can then bash people with it in SvJ. It is very therapeutic.
RE: New jedi - Scoutjockie - 16-05-2014
yes i look for forward to that
