This is a topic that isn’t talked about at all, when in reality, THIS is how you get the top of the top saber quality. It’s because of you that I went replica over Sabertrio. I would’ve gotten a Sabertrio but when I saw that Aniflex V2 you had installed it blew me away. I should have it back from Jeremy sometime in June! 1st saber I’ll ever own.

I gotta say I am a very satisfied Korbanth Customer....got the hero surpreme installed, and it was incredible. The blade was perfectly lit, little to no shading whatsoever, and the hilt itself is beautiful. With that said tho I’m also a huge Lando fan lol....and I agree that the passive aggression and weird moods when interacting with support can be a little off putting. I understand it can be annoying to check in a bunch on an install order, but when a person has spent a very substantial amount of money on a saber, they want to see how it’s going....I feel like that should be better observed. In any case lando ur a total g thanks for spreading the good word

I love being able to take the core out of one hilt to use in another. 89sabers and Korbanth, I can understand why you mention them the way you did. I'm at 75% approval with them both. Hilts were great, installs are, well, they could be improved. My "Rebels" Ahsoka Tano hilts may go out to get rebuilt by a better saber smith in the future as the cores are somewhat lacking. Your listing of 10 replica saber sellers will be getting a good look from me. Thanks for having the links for them.

I bought a korbanth gl9 (installed, untouched by the first owner) secondhand and I was underwhelmed to say the least; the install was different from every other on the internet because their installs vary and there was absolutely zero board access, they offered for me to by the fonts I wanted, send it back with the fonts on a thumb drive to them and pay $25 per font for them to add them on the board. And the neo blade wasn’t that great. Don’t think that the install quality varying from day to day based on the “mood” of the installer is a good business practice.

Hey Lando, question. I know my question is kind of irrelevant for this video, which was great by the way. I have a Sabertrio Senza in the Neopixel setup and there’s a few fonts pre-loaded onto the saber which aren’t smooth swing. Is there a way to “import” or copy smooth swing files or sounds to a font which doesn’t do smooth swing by default? I’m just curious and I’m trying to learn some more about this to make loading fonts easier. I appreciate your help in advance my friend, keep up the high quality content. I’ve been a follower for a few months now.
@LandoSabers3 жыл бұрын
If you check the Plecter Labs website, you can download the default package, which has those non-smooth-swing fonts that have now been updated to smoothswing. Kamino, Crucible, etc. were all recently updated to smooth-swing, so all you need to do is replace the files on your SD card with the new ones.

I too have had some very negative experiences with Korbanth, as well as with Electrum Sabercrafts (see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqDQpHh8qqdqe6s. As far as the Pach Store, I have several hilts from them: a Leia saber, a Luke Hero (the one with the blinkies), a Dark Obi-Wan, a Severance ( with a gorgeous crystal chamber), and another replica on the way. These are some of their high-end sabers, and hence more expensive. (I think their really low-end sabers are not very good.) I like the idea of their removable hearts, so that you can buy a pre-kit for a given saber and use the same heart in all their different sabers, so you don't have to buy lots of separate sabers. (The pre-kits sell out faster than the fully installed sabers.) My gripes: although I like their Asteria hearts, they are clunky to program, and their proffie hearts only come with the proffie stock fonts (unlike the Asteria heart), a major bummer in my opinion. I agree with Lando that their customer service is spotty. However, I would not continue to buy from them for the simple reason that Darkwolf now produces replica sabers with the Golden Harvest board for about the same price as the Pach Store replica sabers. Obviously, the GH board is far superior to the Asteria board and not as much of a pain to program as the proffie. And their GH sabers come pre-loaded with 47 fonts. Hope these comments are helpful to at least some people.

I think this video is great for people who are new to the saber scene. However, I slightly disagree with your thoughts on Korbanth. I cannot speak to their installs; I've never bought one of their installed sabers. I've heard both good and bad things about their installs. What I can speak to is their customer service. Randy, the owner, has been very helpful to me and others have said the same. He really takes the time to message you back after every little question, which is more than a lot of companies can say. I do agree though that they are now too expensive compared to other resellers. I remember like 2 or 3 years ago when they were offloading some stock and got some great deals! Now unfortunately with huge demand, I think those days are over. So overall, I think Korbanth is a pretty decent company to buy from, but as you said, there may be better ones.
