Thought you guys would enjoy our Halloween tradition. Want some candy? Duel for it.

Fourth year doing this. One group of kids walked up and said "IT'S THE LIGHTSABER HOUSE!" Now that's the dream. Hope some of you got to show off your sabers tonight.

Shout out to AliExpress seller

Just want to give a shout out and recommendation to a seller on AliExpress. Ordered a Darth Maul saber from Cause Joyace, and it arrived today. I was cautious due to it being my first time ordering from them, but I'm really happy with it. Shipping was slightly delayed but the seller was very communicative and responded to all of my questions, and I'm really happy to have a Maul saber for a good price. When I can afford it, I will be getting the second half from them!

Custom Jedi Survivor Sabers?

Hi all,

I'm looking to get my saber from the Jedi Survivor game made, I've found a couple places on Etsy that will do it but I'm wondering if there's anyone/any place that can do it with added electronics or blade? not for duelling or stunt use but just to have as an option. Any pointers here will be more than helpful. Thanks and Happy Halloweeen!

Help changing reactive swing on Golden Harvest v3

I'm trying to disable the feature where when I swing my blade the color goes from whatever font I'm using, to usually white or other color (the flashing red and blue in this case). Apparently this is supposed to recreate the OT style of swing, but I've never been a fan of it. I'm looking at the files, and I'm in EffectsFonts -> slot9-Neopixel Extended, but I'm not sure which file matches up with the two fonts I want to modify (Prodigal Son and Dark Harvest)

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

Judgment day by link

I’m looking for a sound font for my lightsaber called judgment by link but can’t seem to find anywhere, it doesn’t seem to be for sale. If anybody has got it, I heard that sharing is caring 🙃

Saberforge Tier Battle: Eco Elite vs Elite Sabers?

Hello all, so I've noticed a couple of Saberforge's sabers appear in different tiers like Archon and Epoch. Then there's some that look very similar but have different names like Heretic and Reliant. My main question is really what's the difference between Saberforge's tiers, specifically between Eco Apprentice, Eco Elite, and Elite (Crystal Sabers could be added, but i kinda see the difference). And like if needed examples can be:

  1. Progenitor Mk3 Eco ($380) (Eco Apprentice),
  2. Archon Eco ($460) (Eco Elite),
  3. Archon ($460) (Elite)

All three having the Golden Harvest Pixel electronics, which can be an option according to the site. If the electronics are the same (the Elite Golden Harvest seems to be missing Bluetooth option 🤔), what makes the tier sabers different?

Issues with lightsaber

I bought this lightsaber a while back and now im having this issue with it: It won't turn on, like at all

It worked for a while before posting this but then it just didn't want to work. I took out the battery and reinstalled it but still nothing. I'm going to leave it in and charge the lightsaber for an hour or so to see if something worked out.

Brand: Custom Saber

UPDATE: Just after I post this, I plugged the saber into the charger and it lit up but there was no sound to it. I checked the internals and everything is fine. This was an issue that happened before but I thought I fixed it. There are no issues with the speaker itself. The saber is still plugged in.

White color during ignition

Hello, new lightsaber owner here 😁

Need help cuz my saber seems to go from white to the red during ignition. This is my first time seeing it like this. When I used to ignite it, it starts off as red immediately. What should I do?

Should i worry about keeping a xenopixel hilt plugged in after fully charged?

I'm worried abt the fact that there might be no limit and i could damage the battery or other electronics by keeping it plugged in too long, it's morning, i read a xenopixel takes abt 4 hours to charge, and i wanna sleep, i hope i can just go and then finish up when i wake up?

Does this part come as a blade plug?

Recently I got a Darth Vader ESB saber from Parsec Sabers, and I’ve been searching for a blade plug that looks like the inside of the prop to make it more screen accurate. Does anyone know where I can get one?

My lightsaber starts beeping when charging??

I just plugged in my neopixel and for some reason it started blaring this loud beep and flashing red on the button, I unplugged it and it stopped, plugged it back in and still does it. It stopped beeping after like a minute of what I think is charging. Keep in mind I haven’t used this lightsaber in months and never turned it on. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Starting a collection

Just received my swa saber (on the right) today. I also have a $30 darth vader and Luke Skywalker that I got from separate trips to Disney. Got this acolyte (don’t think it’s named from the show) for a decent price on sale and got 2 free (kids for Christmas). One called Templar and one called invictus. Build feels solid and it’s advertised as made for dueling so we’ll see.

Getting started with lightsaber collecting

So I want to get into collecting lightsabers but I am not sure what type of lightsaber to buy. Is baselit good for collecting or are for example neopixel or xenopixel better?
