Ultra SabersReviews 19,656

This is my first lightsaber, so I didn't know what to expect when I ordered. I watched some of the videos attached to this product but they don't tell you much as it's just a video of a guy waving the saber around with no explanation of its features.

Speed - from ordering to having it in my hand was just over a week, this is incredible given I ordered over the Christmas and New Year period. I also live in the UK so the speed from order to dispatch to arrival was amazing.

Quality - the hilt is solidly built and has a good weight behind it, easy to remove pommel so the batteries can be removed for recharging. The saber has 2 choke points allowing it to be held with one hand or both. A small but very powerful speaker is built into the pommel. I opted for the mid grade blade to allow the colour through, it can light up an entire room.

Features - the Diamond Controller is amazing, it allows every aspect of the saber to be changed, from clash settings to swing sensitivity to blade colour. The Ultrasabers Launcher allows the saber to be connected to a PC and most features to be changed. You can create your own sound schemes for the saber and teach it new things such as gestures.
The saber has the ability to use gestures to control effects, volume and other things.
New sound schemes can be created with custom sound effects, colours changed, flash on clash altered.
The Diamond Controller is a wonderful piece of kit.

I actually placed an order my saber Christmas day. Despite the posted leas times and the talk on the forums that the company got swamped with orders over the season, I received my order in about two and a half weeks.

I ordered a mystery box with guaranteed sound. The products arrived and I opened it and inspected it. The quality was absolutely phenomenal. Currently the hilt is sitting on its stand as the center piece of my coffee table.

Here's where I ran into the problem I can't get give 5 stars and the reason I gave 4 instead of 3.

Upon getting it set up and turning it on, I was met with a nice colored glow and silence. My saber is not producing the sound I paid for. I sent the company an email and got the automated response but I am still waiting for someone to contact me. I know how swamped they are due to filling holiday orders and I'm patient over that fact. After scanning the forums and reading other people's experiences in am quite confident this company will find a way to take care of the issue. They have very good reviews in that department from their repeat customers.

The missing sound and wait for a response are what kept this from being a 5 star review but due to the holidays I don't hold the wait against them and still believe the product quality and order fulfillment time deserve a strong score.
