ES-Sabers - Finally a UK supplier of high quality lightsabers at affordable prices
I was a little wary of buying a high end proffie/pixel lightsaber from a UK supplier, especially one I had not used before, but i'm so glad I took the chance on ES Sabers. The ordering process was easy and I received my order confirmation shortly after. My saber took about 4 weeks from ordering to arrive (this was due to some of the parts arriving late with ES Sabers), but James kept me updated and yesterday my saber arrived. After opening the cardboard outer packaging, i was impressed with the long barrel lock hard plastic case the saber came in. It looks expensive, and i couldn't wait to open it up and get to my saber inside. The saber itself is a work of art. The build quality is high grade aluminium, very smooth to the touch and feels weighty in the hand. Once i attached the blade, it took me a little while to figure out a few things with the saber, and found re-inserting the battery to effectively reboot the saber (as it can get jostled around during transit), got the sound fonts playing properly. The blade is super bright in comparison to my other hilt lit sabers, and the sensitivity of the motion sensor during even very subtle movements responded fantastically, with the appropriate sound effects. The unit feels very robust too, so duelling with it won't be a problem. If anyone out there is considering buying a high quality saber, and is reluctant to order from a US supplier (given the shipping and import duties involved), do give ES-Sabers a try. I am so glad i did, and would have easily spent another couple of hundred pound more, to get the same saber from a US supplier!
