Top 5 Things To Avoid/Understand When Buying Lightsabers

[@publicprofilename4273]

Dude, other than the hilt I've built myself, just for show, I don't even own a lightsaber yet, but have been researching for a year or more, and you are the most informative youtuber I've seen thus far. I've never seen anything indicating any negativity towards anyone who wants any type of saber at all. In fact you go out of your way to express that no matter what you're looking for, there is something great out there for you to buy. Also, as far as "the big one" you've had the common things to say about them, but have also mentioned that if you're lucky enough to get your order, it should serve well, and be a great saber. That's all I've seen anyways. Good job man.

[@LandoSabers]

Thank you man, that means a lot!

[@modernguru4245]

I literally just walked into this world yesterday. I knew "Lightsabers" existed but I had no idea how far the saber and the tech behind it has come since i bought one when I was in high school. (A LONG TIME AGO) When I went to look at the websites of the companies from a quick google search I was just baffled. Most of the terminology and the tech that was being offered, or choices to build one seemed like a different language entirely. So I spent most of the last 24 hours watching videos like yours and a few other people on here that have really made a whole world of difference from an education standpoint. In regards to people trying to misconstrue your words or thoughts on different product lines or different manufacturers, you have to defend yourself and your positions of course, but just have a thick skin bro. Whether it's lightsabers, a local carwash, or a youtube instructional hobbyist, people are going to go on the offensive against you.....or reach to find reasons to come after you if you take a negative position against anything warranted or unwarranted. All I can say, is that after watching a few of your videos, and some others in addition, I feel like I at least have a basic level of knowledge now about these products to try and avoid making a bad mistake when paying what is a rather large chunk of change for some personal fun in my basement when my girlfriend is not around to call me Peter Pan and rip on what will be my new hobby! Thank you!

[@isthisit781]

@@abbadonthevoidwanderer7116 I'm not sure about that particular model but in my experience, lgt sabers are a good bang for your buck. Especially the mystery boxes. My only issue with lgt is the speakers aren't very loud. For an extra 10 or 15 dollars they could make a much better product

[@robertcummings1073]

Just ordered a gift for my buddy’s birthday and they sent me the wrong hilt. Was rudely told to fix their mistake I needed to pay them a $132 “restocking fee” since they are custom made. US said regardless of it being their mistake they make it clear any returns is a 20% fee no exceptions. Wish I knew they had a F rating on the better business bureau before I ordered the score is well deserved.

[@arcane_ironic]

Thanks to your channel I just got my first saber, a Crimson Dawn EFX Banshee. It's definitely worth the money. Keep it up man!

[@LandoSabers]

Thank you for the support! I fully agree, people have different measures of "value," and I, nor anyone else, can tell you whether something isn't to your liking. We can only give suggestions and opinions, but it's ultimately up to you to decide whether or not you like it!

[@cwp24]

I agree, I got my Rebelsabers Stalwart back on October 20th and I’ve been satisfied ever since. While I prefer to mute the sound as it just sounds awkward when you swing it. It doesn’t have smooth swing and it shouldn’t and I wasn’t expecting it as it’s a 90$ saber. I got what I wanted and I’m happy. I go outside while it’s dark and swing it around, flourish it. It’s really fun. Probably the most fun I’ve had. I plan to keep on using it for the foreseeable future. Thank you for suggesting Rebelsabers as well as saving me the heartache of getting potentially screwed by either ultrasabers or saberforge. Also a message to those who have an ultrasaber or saberforge lightsaber. If it’s not broken and you are happy with it. Cool, have fun with it. That’s all that matters. Don’t feel ashamed because you likely didn’t know about these bad things about those companies. Now that you know this, you can try out one of the other companies if you intend on getting another saber. That choice is up to you. Just be sure to do your research before buying from any company.

Buyers remorse came hard with my Ultrasabers Archon 3.1 with the Obsidian soundboard, the second I saw what Smooth-Swing and NeoPixel was it just felt weird to move it and get that incomplete sound. I still used it to duel with my best friend, but it was just weird. That being said, I can't wait to order my Sabertrio Reaver tomorrow, also awesome video!

I'm a bit late to the party but man have you been helpful in my journey for learning about sabers. Because of you I learned of Crimson Dawn, probably my new favorite saber vendor at the moment for how fast they ship sabers, I bought a base-lit specter and it'll be here in 5-7 days from now. I can't wait to have it my hands! here soon I wanna build my own saber from scratch by buying all the parts and installing everything on my own as a fun DIY project.

Might come out extreme, but I love you man!!! I just got into star wars being 22 I'm late to the party, so after watching the first 6 films and clone wars I decided to buy a lightsaber, within the first day of even watching the films I would get constant ads of ultrasabers. I didn't really think much about it and I browsed their website and found 1 I liked had it in my cart went to get my card but there was a disturbance in the force🤣 so I went on KZbin found this gem and this channel and was relived. Now I'm saving a bit more and doing more research before I buy. Thank you again and may the force be with you

I'm looking into buying a neopixel Lightsaber from Saber Forge. I understand that they have different "tech tiers" and that you need to purchase Hero Tier and then choose a neopixel blade in order to get your saber as neopixel, however, I understand that Neopixel blades are less durable than some other blades (Such as the V4 infinity blade that Saber Forge sells). Would it be possible to switch to a sturdier blade for harder dualing? Anyone who can answer would be appreciated. Thank you!

[@yetticuda]

I’m still new to this hobby. All i own are two mystery from the do not buy company. Got them a few years ago before I really looked into this. And like I said it’s been a few years.

Thank you for a great informative video. I’ve been interested in sabers since 1977 with the very first Star Wars movie (episode iv) when it came out. Still can’t afford one but I like information in case I find the money somewhere amongst finishing several other projects first. It’s nice to know that somebody, (and I follow a few that feel as you do about certain “companies”) has the cajones to say it so professionally. Kudos and thanks!

Yes you are correct. I am new to lightsabers so I decided to do a google search and typed in the word light sabers and ultra sabers was top choice with pictures.

First saber I ever bought was from Ultra Sabers. Never had to deal with their customer service, actually got it in a decent amount of time, and it was 100% functional and built well. I was honestly excited to get it, hold it, turn it on and felt like a big kid. Then, I got a bane mk2 from Saberforge neopixel, the quality of the hilt and electronics blew my mind and made me re think everything about Ultra. Damn Ultra instantly felt extremely oversized and electronics felt subpar, and spent the same amount of money. Never had to deal with Saberforge customer service either got it within the lead time. Maybe I’m lucky? But the product blew Ultra out of the water. Then……I got a sabertrio……Jesus AMAZING can’t tell if the electronics are better (minus aux switches), or brightness, but the sound is way better. This thing…..made my Ultra feel like a Hasbro plastic slide blade $30 toy but AT THE SAME PRICE as Saberforge and Sabertrio. Experiences were all good with them all, in the moment of unboxing…then you get something better for the same price SHIT! Then another one even better than the last, again at the same price. Then you feel real stupid about your first decision.

I just want my money back and wait for SaberTrio to come back. Anyone who feels attacked by your videos and your commentary is utterly blind and dumb. I infact! did not get mad at you...but at myself for not researching more then I should have.

do you think neopixel sabre will go down in price drastically as the technology is more common.

What do you think ? Thanks,

I've only seen one bad thing happen when someone ordered a product from saber trio, and the issue was with the neopixel blade one of the sections of LEDS wasn't working.

I'd rather pay $200 for a chinese saber frame with all the high end parts installed than $600-800 for the same parts in an original hilt designed in-house by one of the other companies. Can you get them direct from LGTOY with those parts installed? I could be wrong but I think they're reselling cost effective mass-produced hilts with upgraded setups at a great price compared to the competition.

What’s your opinion on galaxy’s edge Legacy sabers? I love cosplaying and $130 seems like a great deal for something I’ll likely just keep on my belt but I’ve seen reviews that their quality is not much better than that of ultra sabers or saberforge.

[@jakesmoove1977]

I should clarify 130 is for the Vader hilt that’s on sale now. All other legacy sabers are around 200

[@LandoSabers]

I mean... the only time that I’d ever personally buy one of those was if I went there in person, just for that whole experience. Now, in comparison to the higher end sabers, there’s a huge difference. I can’t really say to buy it or not buy it, but I’d say that if it meets your needs as a cosplay piece, then I’d say go for it. There are also empty hilts from Korbanth or some of the other stores out there that are extremely screen-accurate, and feel much better than the sort of plasticky-feeling sabers from Galaxy’s Edge, and those could work very well for cosplay, but just know that they wouldn’t be functional since they’re empty.

Awesome video. Have you checked out LGT Saber Studios new Eco rgb baselit w/smooth swing? I just got one this week and to get a smooth swing with 9 fonts for such a low cost is crazy.

[@LandoSabers]

Yep, I’ve kept my eye on that! I think I mentioned something about it in a previous video!

[@terintamel]

@@LandoSabers I used their kit to replace the electronics in my TXQsaber, which was a good entry saber. Much better features than my Hasbro ones and was my first 3rd party saber. In the last few months after getting it I have been checking out custom saber videos and found smooth swing. It sounded great and I did not know such a thing existed to make saber motion so real. Anyway with the smooth swing installed I find I have a hard time putting it down and just want to handle it all the time. Side note is they put in a higher quality bass speaker in the new kit which is much better than the cheap speaker I had before.

[@damianbierman2235]

hey landon i got a question. i’m attempting to dress up as anakin from the clone wars movie and was wondering where it would be best priced to find a replica saber to complete the look. doesnt have to be from atk it could also be from rots. i’m looking into the MR fx saber from 2005 but if there are better option with nopixel i would like to hear it.

[@sansdoestuff]

Hey Lando! You are the best Star Wars KZbin ever! Thank you!

[@LandoSabers]

Thank you!

[@steelrain5626]

Tutorial videos would be nice. Such as motion ignition, blade profiles, udating firmware, etc. For cfx.

[@firebombspam2604]

I’m late but what is you’re opinion on padawan outpost sabres ?

[@Spartans1gm4]

how do you feel about the Kybers Standard SerieS for cosplay, BUT MOSTLY DUELING.?

[@zelfayt9879]

I kinda wish that i had seen this video before i had to wait months for my saber and while they did respond telling me about a delay (after i had to message them) there was no notice beforehand that they had supply issues. I will state that i'm pretty happy with the Graflex that i bought with no real complaints and i got a bunch of freebie lightsabers which helps with the fact that i probably would have overpaid otherwise. I now plan on making further purchases with said better companies

[@swaggsavage313]

What's your opinion on Crimson Dawn? There's a saber on that site that has my attention called the "Dawn Initiate"

[@phantomdeath0078]

What about AO Sabers? Are they any good? Or should I stay away from them?

[@railking2665]

I’m very new to all of this so your videos have been extremely helpful. Once I heard about Sabertrio I was pretty much sold that if I was going to buy one I was going to get one from them. However, as much as I want one of their sabers, I’m not sure if it would be worth it to buy one. I would most likely go for the highest grade and so I’m just not sure I’d get enough use out of it, other than it being a incredibly awesome functional decoration, to be worth the cost.

[@markdalton2574]

Hey Lando! I’m tryna get a neopixel smooth swing saber. Not sure if there are varying smooth swing capabilities. It’s either RBG or Neopixel though, right? Where would you suggest getting the cheapest one meeting this criteria?

[@TheCOMICCOMMANDER]

What is your opinion of the KYBERS RGB lightsabers? They are $99.99 on Amazon.

[@daddymaul9761]

What do you think of dark wolf sabers?

[@Gamerguyasmr.7418]

Hi I’m looking at buying my first duelling lightsaber and I’m new to these kind of lightsabers I’m looking for the sound colour and the heavy duelling capabilities. I need you help with some recommendations with companies. I don’t want to go through ultrasabers as I saw your video about them thank you

[@LandoSabers]

Check my “Buying Lightsabers” playlist, tons of recommendations in there!

[@darthmels]

Why are you not a fan of saberforge? I just purchased some items from saberforge, like blade plugs, timing shims, I wasn't happy with the shipping, have not received anything yet

[@joewhitt2073]

Are the brand “Dual Sabers” any good??? I need a good company.

[@stevevets]

Do you know where to get a reasonably priced (under 1000) removable crystal reveal graflex replica?

[@AxelVIIIROGOTE]

What do you think about ES Sabers and ENDOR Sabers? They are kinda new and that makes me have doubts...

[@onerian8178]

my first lightsaber was a saberforge body i didnt think the electronics were good enough for me to spend theire rediculous prices so i put a simple crimson viridian and a tricree led. it was way cheaper than what saberforge charges for the sme thing. now im upgrading it to a crystal focus neopixle setup. i wouldnt buy another saberforge body because its expensive nd took 6 months to recieve my parts.

[@brickinc]

I love this channel I hope you get a lot of subs man

[@DarkWolfWRX]

Found this late, and after I ended up choosing a saber. But these are great tips. I ended up going with Darkwolf Sabers. Not going to lie, partially because I discovered we share a similar name haha. But I DID do the research on them prior to committing the money. I went with a Broken Order(Cal Kestis) Saber, while it will need some work to get more screen accurate, it looks like a solid choice. I may make a video on making it more screen accurate and I have vast experience in model painting and machining so it should be fun. Also picked up a mystery box RGB from em because why not, Ive wasted 80 bucks on worse haha. I did find out everything you said to be true about Ultrasabers. So was able to steer very clear from them. What a joke they are.

[@AnthonyGonzalez-lw1ek]

Thanks for the info , now does their threads fit other companies sabers like US SABERS FIT =TCSS and kyberlight = Saberforge where does elertrium sabers fit ?

[@LandoSabers]

Not all saber companies use the same threading, most of them have vastly different diameters. And I am not the one to ask for that sort of thing.

[@eeveemaster8902]

so i am not likely to get one for a long time (kinda just happy prating with my old toy non glow red one that i got 7 years ago for £10 in morrisons) however once i am confident with it and can afford a main lightsaber, i do have this question, i am autistic so i struggle with sound but wanted one that had sound for time to time use, is there a option to turn off sound with some of them or will i need to get a stunt one to use and enjoy the light of the darkside of the force?

[@LandoSabers]

Just about every saber out there that has sound, also has a mute function.

[@eeveemaster8902]

@@LandoSabers brillant Thanks Im mostly gonna hunt for a yellow glow black handle sound with a mute function for shows and just to help as people get annoyed with me messing around with knives so once i have the formation handled Ill grab one worth while to really push forward Thanks for your reply

[@tastycles1062]

Hey Lando, i´m totally new to the game, i just found your channel and it´s great! Really informative and helpful, thanks for the help. Now atm i belong to the peasant community, so i'm just looking for a durable, sturdy and balanced lightsaber to practice spinning, the shiva one seems ideal but its sold out. Will they be for sale again? Would you advice another one for the spinning practice?

[@hunterheflin9134]

Question. What’s your opinion on crimson dawns proffie neopixel sabers?

[@playerone6829]

I just ordered an obi wan saber from rebel sabers I hope it was worth my money they look like a great small lightsaber company

[@LandoSabers]

Yep, they’re legit

[@playerone6829]

@@LandoSabers it seems like a good price for getting access to smooth swing and a ton of sound fonts and colors 👍🏻👍🏻 and its replica of my favorite saber

[@LyricalEcho_official]

Can someone maybe tell me is company called NEO Sabers trusted?

[@darthmaul7415]

We should have him collab with star wars theory👍😂. Love your videos

[@Tapirrr]

Hey i live in EU and it doesnt seem like we have any saber retailer that is worth it, so ill get my neopixel from LGT. Thanks for all the info!
