    Review"
    I first found about Plecter Labs from fellow Jediarchives saber master Xwingband
    I was just blown away when I see all the things the Plecter Labs sabers can do..
    Things like saber flicker,blaster reflect,saber lock sound,hilt rumble,and the ability to customize the saber sounds in on a sd card!!! just to name some..

    I was lucky enough to get what I think is the very first one to reach Amarica..

    after having it 2 days here are my thoughts

    The saber is just beautiful,and the machining of the hilt feels so solid and strong.
    It is lighter then any MR saber I have (great for spins it is)

    When you turn it on the first thing you notice is how piercing loud the ignite and idle hum are.
    The you are pleasantly greeted with rumbling of the hilt (kind of like a game controller but more suttle) that matched the idle hum

    Then you swing it and see the swing motion detectors are frigen DEAD ON,I mean super on point.
    It has aslight pulse flicker to blade like a real lightsaber does and that looks SO LOVELY

    Then need the top of the hilt there is a button that when pressed triggers the saber lock and blaster deflect effects..
    The Luxeon glow is very bright,as much so or more then a stock MR (mine is a LUX3)
    But unlike other Luxeon sabers it actually has a ignite and retract sequence effect

    This is basically every thing I could have wished for in a FX at Plecter Labs for pushing Luxion sabers WAY past what I even ever dreamed of..

    But I can tell you my initial impressions are OMG and WOW

    It came with the ROTJ movie sounds I always loves..
    The motion detection is light years ahead of the stock Fx ..
    The rumble feels incretible..
    Dam I'm loving this..
    Looks great with my ultra fiber optic blade too..
    Plecter Labs rules!!!

    Here are some pic

    The first fully made one from Erv, Firebird. I do think you had yours done well before Kit got his.

    What do you mean by "The first fully made one"? Are you talking about the saber or the board? Or am I more lost than I think.


    BTW KF, nice review!

    Hey Kit,

    Great lookin' saber! Congrats again... A few questions for you on your Plecter... oh and by the way, hope to see you at C4!!! I'm dyin' to meet the man in the bandanna. hahahah

    1. What is the battery setup? Voltage, cell amount, etc.

    2. You have the vibration motor in there??? Sweet... does it suck the juice from the batteries fairly badly? Corbin mentioned his always seemed to, although Erv's may be very different... don't know.

    3. About how long does the saber last on a charge cycle--given "natural" usage... i.e. you turn it on, swing it around, play with it a bunch...

    I've already ordered a board from Erv, and plan to install it into a custom designed TCSS & sink tube hybrid... so I suppose I'll find out more very soon!
