Sorry Ultra, I didn't mean to bash your work. I was brown-nosing Tim. I haven't had any work from you, so I am not in the position to express opinions on the quality of it. I just heard yours is plastic as opposed to Tim's aluminium. I've bought quite a few emitters from Tim and am thoroughly impressed. Like I stated before, I don't think his will EVER break, even if you try real hard.[] It wasn't about the actual work you do, only about the materials at your dispossal. Again, sorry if it came across the wrong way.

xwingband,
it wasn't like your example, it was more like you walk into McDonalds and state the BigMac is better than the Whopper because it has crispier lettuce - or at least that's the way I intended it. On second thought, was that example intended for me?

GeluKhanGharr,

I was refering to the original poster TeddyV and him asking if he could get an "Ultra Saber" here from TCSS.

[UltraSWG]

Hmmm, why not? Soon people can get a TCSS saber from Ultra Sabers. We may have to work out a product-swap marketing deal, Strydur. []

[GeluKhanGharr]

I think Ultra has done an awsome job at creating a brand name. There is a buzz on eBay around the name UltraSaber. It seems people have started to call UltraSabers all Lux converted MRs. You don't ask for a tissue, you call it directly "a kleenex". Same here.

Hmmmmm, misa think'o something...

True, I understand that but I guess it depends on the person. I consider it almost a form of ignorance. It's like iPod becoming a moniker for MP3 player, TiVo = PVR, Xerox = copy, etc... I just call it what it is. I'm pretty sure ebay is the reason we get some many do you do this/how can I do this posts because people see those up on ebay and do a google search because the prices are getting too high for them on ebay.

On topic, it's great to hear more people exchanging ideas. With so many on different tangents to the same thing I think it would help to get the best blade by sharing ideas. Sorry though, I think hyperdyne's prototype blade has stolen my heart.[]

[Strydur]

My verdict is out until he shows that they really can withstand heavy dueling. There are plenty of bright sabers out there like plasma etc that even have a nicer grow/retract. If they actually can withstand dueling like he says and the price isnt outrageous then they should sell really well.

I ordered from Ultrasabers, still waiting for the product, but I'm not complaining. Its still within a reasonable time frame, and Ultrasabers told me they're working on it.

No need for rivalry. I've seen that happen in too many cottage-shop hobbies such as sci fi models & such.

I haven't bought from Strydur yet, though I'm very enthusiastic and I probably will buy something in the future.

[Strydur]

Rivalry? not sure what you post you are referring to.

Hey Whopper, send me an email so I can check the status of your order, ultra@ultrasabers.com

And I don't think Strydur and I have any kind of rivalry going on since we do plenty of business together and I use his products in my sabers. It's all good.

[whopper]

Yeah, thanks guys. I didn't notice any between you 2, just noticing some comments (which you guys already addressed) that could be interpreted as such.

I think converting sabers is less subject to some of the bad things going on in other fan driven products.

And again, the wait time from the stuff I ordered from UltraSWG is still within a completely reasonable time frame. No complaints.
