Just wanted you to know I got my own Guardian. Premium sound in Guardian blue of course. And you were right, I absolutely love it! Not really heavy at all, just an all-around awesome saver. Thanks for the review.
I just got my Guardian saber. Everything you said was right. Almost an understatement. Guardian blue, silver AV switch. Premium sound. Your review is what made me decide to go for it. Thanks and keep up the awesome reviews.
The Dizzy Vizzy word of advice, don't waste your money on an Ultrasabers Guardian. In comparison to the movie hilt, they are enormous! You can get a much more accurately sized one from Saberforge (which is pretty close), Korbanth, Orbital Machining, or Larbel (which are all basically 100% accurate). Also, get a custom installation of electronics rather than a stock installation from US or SF. Neither company uses a chassis to hold their internals and neither of their soundboards can compare to the ones that a custom installer will use.
Great review mate. I've just ordered a Raven RGB. I was hesitant in paying $300 USD but your review proved to me the true quality of these sabers. Thank you.
Thanks for the great review. My Guardian came about a week ago and was shipped to my home here in Cancun Mexico and the guys at Ultrasabers did a stellar job, like you I am completely satisfied and will definitely purchase another from them.
+William Shephard Thanks for stopping by and for checking out my review. How are you liking the saber? It felt a little awkward to use when I got it a week ago, however things are improving everytime I use it. I'm really in love with the saber :)
+sunnycoast You're welcome! It seems like most people always want to go into stats that I do not care about. I also get bored watching people take 20 minutes opening their box. You talked about the aspects that matter... brightness, ease of use, etc. Thank you again for the concise review!!!!!!
Good job mate. I got this saber, had both lite and full ver. Only difference is customization sounds (which isnt really needed for just a simple collector) I recommend getting darth mauls (menace) for your next one ;) I also have it and it is actually so much lighter. :)
Awesome videos mate, but what blade would you recommend just for display purposes only and just general play around the house..? I recently bought the Graflex SE and I may have bought the wrong the blade type in the 36" Heavy Grade were maybe I should have ordered the Mid-Grade...? Which blade would you recommend for the best brightness...?
Also would you say the machining is done well? Any rough edges? I plan on this being my go to saber for spinning and stuff. I know it's large but the saber I use now is about the same size.
+Samhain 138 Saturday isn't far away at all. At least you know its coming :) Glad I could tide you over. I was watching video's of sabers for weeks just to keep my head in the game!
+Samhain 138 The machining is really well done. Nothing rough at all that I can feel. You could definitely spin the saber with a medium blade (non heavy grade). Also, the spikey edged pommel can be removed (its a three piece setup). You'll love it!
Very well done this was one of the best reviews I've seen in a very long time I personally just ordered their new archon and I am patiently waiting for it to arrive it hasn't ship yet due to the fact that the summer raffle ends today and it's order was entered as a raffle ticket either this or the malice will definitely be my next saber
Hey Sunny...bit off topic, but I'd appreciate an honest answer. Since I've got little money to spend and not enough money to buy a lightsaber with soundboard from saberforge. My dream saber would be a yellow bladed disciple from saberforge...but then again, without soundpack. Give me your honesty, is it worth it to have the saber with blade and light but no sound?
Hey there. I appreciate your direct question. I am biased, but I don't think you can have a saber without sound UNLESS you already have one with sound and just want one without sound as a cheap muck around. The sound really adds to the experience and makes you feel like a real jedi.
I was kind of worried when ordering mine with the more durable blade because on the website it says it wouldn't be as bright. Although now I see that in darker areas it's still incredibly bright. Nice video!
point of interest, you will not break a midgrade blade. i tried to bread one on a steel post, wound up with some pretty mean dents and an injured wrist. they are too flexible to break. heavy grades will break but it takes a lot. i dont think anyone duels hard enough to sufficiently damage a midgrade blade.
+darrelltrout Thanks for the info mate. I've got a few dents and chips in my heavy grades. I'd imagine I might do some pretty bad damage to a mid grade if I wanted to go hard at it.
i just bought one from a guy online selling it for 100 and all the specs are the same as your minus a few tiny details and the blade is the same but its no where near as bright as yours. how can i change that?
I don't think I would want the AV switch as the bevels look very smooth, low relief so you could possible hit the switch easier. I like the guarded switches personally. this Saber looks awesome! I want the bellicose, it looks classic, yet still refined for practical (ha-ha) use.
do you know if the website prices are defaulted to the country your browser is set to, as i am also Australian and i really hope those prices are not USD
Hi mate, they are all in USD (postage too). Not super cheap. You need to do what I did and make sure you research the hell out of what you want before opting in. Expensive hobby at this exchange rate. Happy to help, just let me know.
I want to get the bellicose, and yes with emerald LED and obsidian v4 because it looks so epic and is one of the cheaper ones. I was also thinking about the Guardian.
You can buy colour discus if you buy a silver LED saber at checkout (discs bought separately). Your best bet is to buy a multi-led saber during checkout. This will let you choose any colour combination you want!
Hi there, thanks for the kind words - These can be used for full contact both at medium and high strength battles. It comes down to which blade you use. If you use a mid-grade blade, you can battle with medium contact. If you use a heavy-grade blade like I have in the video (heavier blade) you can go all out!
Hey mate fellow aussie here just wanted to ask some questions about the guardian thinking about getting one soon if you could message me would be great thanks
Haha same case with me idk how. If you rember how much was the shipping and the guardian? And is it really big ive read its way too big i was thinking about getting a parks phaeton or the dark avenger i want a saber that is more movie accurate :)
to be honest I'm looking to buy one used because the new ones on Ultrasabers website are so expensive. i see you put perks like Flash on Clash. So unless i Can pay around $250 then its better i just get a new one. But Im definitely open to buying one used. Theres just none on eBay.
when you're using the website does it automatically change it to aud or do you have to do the exchange rate yourself? I was looking at the guardian and the setup I had in the checkout was about 326 dollars is that aud or usd?

Issacc Woodruff glad you like it! Enjoy mate :)
I just bought this saber yesterday with the Brushed Nickel finish and the Diamond Sound board. Can't wait to receive it.
How is it?
Great saber! I am saving up for an Emerald Guardian w/ Obsidian sound myself! Thanks for the review, very helpful and very cool!

All your reviews are great. I do not have a light saber yet, but you really help me choose one. Thanks
Great review mate. I've just ordered a Raven RGB. I was hesitant in paying $300 USD but your review proved to me the true quality of these sabers. Thank you.
What I find neat about sabers is how, on camera, they have a white core in the blade

Excellent review thank you for helping me decide! You rock
This video only makes me more excited; I just ordered the Graflex SE and I cannot WAIT to have fun with it
This is one of the best reviews I have seen on a saber! Thank you for taking the time to do it.
Wow, thanks heaps for the feedback.

Awesome stuff mate. I want to buy the menace in red!

for regular it doesn't matter ultra edge will dim it but like 1% and I would just stick with heavy grade for anything
+squaSH772 psn it doesn't metter
+squaSH772 psn matter
Mine comes on Saturday. I can hardly wait. This is helping tide me over. Nice review.
Also would you say the machining is done well? Any rough edges? I plan on this being my go to saber for spinning and stuff. I know it's large but the saber I use now is about the same size.

Brilliant!! Looks great!! Congrats mate! I ordered the same thing on December 31st, still waiting for it to be shipped. Cheers!
+Odin Lowe That's awesome mate. You're going to be blown away when you see it in person. It should ship any day now I'd imagine. :)
Very well done this was one of the best reviews I've seen in a very long time I personally just ordered their new archon and I am patiently waiting for it to arrive it hasn't ship yet due to the fact that the summer raffle ends today and it's order was entered as a raffle ticket either this or the malice will definitely be my next saber
Thanks heaps! Sounds like you're going to have an awesome saber! Maybe you should do a video too!

When u said it's not heavy I was like not everyone is built like Arnold shwartsenager
Michael Farah lol haha!
Michael Farah What the fuck are you talking about? He’s not even that big.
Emperor Nero - it’s true. Forever small, forever chasing them natty gains.
I’m not being rude about it I’m just saying Arnold is pretty big. Lol.
Emperor Nero I know bro :) it’s all good I was joking :)
I really enjoy watching your reviews keep up the good work👍
+Ilyaas Akesbi Thank you for saying that :)
I was kind of worried when ordering mine with the more durable blade because on the website it says it wouldn't be as bright. Although now I see that in darker areas it's still incredibly bright. Nice video!
Bud thank you
The hilt is too long, but I imagine that it has to be in order to fit the electronics?
It's just really long. Heaps of room inside.
Very very good review. It is a pleasure watching your detailed review.
Please create more content I am a subscriber that much appreciates your reviews and content
Thank you sir. Will try my best :)
Just ordered one yesterday. Can't wait! Great review!
DARTHeeek many thanks! :)
I just ordered a crimson scorpion diamond sound and light card...I'll be eatting beans for awhile...
John Dowd it would be bad ass to fight with these things after eating beans... or dropping acid!
I don't recall isn't the nickel plated more movie acurate?
+SonicIce 01 - I think Nickel plating looks more movie replica in my opinion :) Gives it that worn look too...
point of interest, you will not break a midgrade blade. i tried to bread one on a steel post, wound up with some pretty mean dents and an injured wrist. they are too flexible to break. heavy grades will break but it takes a lot. i dont think anyone duels hard enough to sufficiently damage a midgrade blade.

Your an Aussie mate
Hope you had a great day today buddy
How do you get the flash on clash option liking the saver videos
i just bought one from a guy online selling it for 100 and all the specs are the same as your minus a few tiny details and the blade is the same but its no where near as bright as yours. how can i change that?
Sir, try getting new batteries or charging your existing ones :) BATTERIES :)
Is yours Tri-Cree
Obi Ones saber, beaut!
Jettisoning prefer his revenge of the sixth saber or his original?
I don't think I would want the AV switch as the bevels look very smooth, low relief so you could possible hit the switch easier. I like the guarded switches personally. this Saber looks awesome! I want the bellicose, it looks classic, yet still refined for practical (ha-ha) use.
no dramas at all. had no issues bumping the switch.
So cool! Great choices, great video! Can't wait to get one!
Thanks for the good feedback. It's a lovely peice :)
Is it the non-ultraedge blade?? the one that look silver-plated ??
ok I see, thank you =). I just ordered it
so what does the saber look like in reality? because on camdera it looks amazing. apparently its just one solid colour...
drummingxtreme looks pretty good in complete darkness sir. Looks nearly as good as on camera :)
sunnycoast il take you're word on that one mate. Thinking of blazing red. Would this be bright and impressive?
drummingxtreme I think red will be my next purchase for sure. Maybe opt for Tri-Cree red to make it savage bright.
sunnycoast thanks man definitely subbing
oh and btw whats the best blade? the most realistic looking?
do you know if the website prices are defaulted to the country your browser is set to, as i am also Australian and i really hope those prices are not USD
Hi mate, they are all in USD (postage too). Not super cheap. You need to do what I did and make sure you research the hell out of what you want before opting in. Expensive hobby at this exchange rate. Happy to help, just let me know.
Dang that puts it up to like 800 bucks, I might need to wait a bit. Anyway thanks for replying. :)
Ok I checked and it's the one I am looking to get is only 650 which is still pretty reasonable :P
+Oblivion475 - What are you looking at getting? Sounds like you're after a saber with Emerald and Sound?
I want to get the bellicose, and yes with emerald LED and obsidian v4 because it looks so epic and is one of the cheaper ones. I was also thinking about the Guardian.
i'm gonna get guardian saber too. Do you know how can I change the color disks in this hilt?
You can buy colour discus if you buy a silver LED saber at checkout (discs bought separately). Your best bet is to buy a multi-led saber during checkout. This will let you choose any colour combination you want!
You just set it on the led
Jex Anims just go for heavy grade blades it doesn't effect much and is actually a better feel as you can get better swings
Jex Anims no problem
Did you order you saber from the ultrasabers website or off of etsy?
from the ultrasabers website.
Excellent
Excuse my ignorance, but can two people actually do a light contact battle with these things.. great video by the way
Hi there, thanks for the kind words - These can be used for full contact both at medium and high strength battles. It comes down to which blade you use. If you use a mid-grade blade, you can battle with medium contact. If you use a heavy-grade blade like I have in the video (heavier blade) you can go all out!
Hey mate fellow aussie here just wanted to ask some questions about the guardian thinking about getting one soon if you could message me would be great thanks
Cloudy cloud - hey mate. Happy to answer questions here as I don't how to message someone on here. Cheers.
Haha same case with me idk how. If you rember how much was the shipping and the guardian? And is it really big ive read its way too big i was thinking about getting a parks phaeton or the dark avenger i want a saber that is more movie accurate :)
Yah, an Ultrasaber review from a fellow Australian!
Yeah buddy!
Great review, subscribing. :)
Thank you ;)
I hope u know saberforge has a much more accurate OWK episode 1 and 2
its smaller tho
SSS yep. Cool cool
would you be willing to sell the episode 1 obi wan saber?
Joon Mobile Gamer - do you live in Australia?
oh no I'm from New York
Joon Mobile Gamer - would be expensive to ship unless I just send the Hilt. Maybe pm me an offer?
to be honest I'm looking to buy one used because the new ones on Ultrasabers website are so expensive. i see you put perks like Flash on Clash. So unless i Can pay around $250 then its better i just get a new one. But Im definitely open to buying one used. Theres just none on eBay.
Joon Mobile Gamer - probably best to buy new and get your warranty etc.
great review
Thank you
Is the blade 32" or 36"?
lawdawg194 36 :)
sunnycoast some say it’s to long and opt for the 32”. What do you think?
sunnycoast Also I’m torn between the guardian and the Graflex CE? Obi Wan or Luke?
lawdawg194 32 would work. Makes you faster because it’s lighter. Just more risk of hitting the hilt due to shorter blade.
lawdawg194 oh man... that’s a tough one.... haha. What colour do you want??? Oh that’s so hard
Lovely saber
+Ken Skywalker Thank you Ken. It's really the start of my collection. Hoping to grab a Prophecy V3 and then either the Archon 3.1 or a Graflex.
Nice review.
+Pat6l6 Thanks for stopping by :)
was going to pick one up, but the Canadian dollar to USD conversion is terrible :,(
how much was the saber nice reveiw btw
+Suaq I paid around $300 USD delivered to Australia The shipping component was a large part of the price. Thanks :)
I want one
Bravo soo Good Love
thanks mate.
when you're using the website does it automatically change it to aud or do you have to do the exchange rate yourself?
I was looking at the guardian and the setup I had in the checkout was about 326 dollars is that aud or usd?
manofthetardis all USD I’m afraid
