It is finally here. The long wait is over.
But before I get started, here are some shots of my new beauty
Her name is Serenity, and I love this saber. It's exquisite. The precision is very noticeable on this saber, and as it's just an apprentice saber, I am impressed. From the detail of the new laser forge kill key, and blade plug, to the smooth and wonderful emitter, right down to the wonderfully vented pommel. This saber is gorgeous But is it perfect?
My first issue came from the wrap, though there is nothing wrong with it, the wrap is great. I originally ordered the brown leather, however not two weeks after my order, I emailed Saberforge and asked to have it changed to bronze stingray. I promptly received confirmation that there is no problem, and that it would be done. I guess there was a communication error or something. So even though I didn't get my wrap, The one I got is great, and the saber looks fantastic with it.
Second issue. I ordered the 12+ LED upgrade, however after some testing in many lighting conditions, the saber is not as bright as I hoped. I don't know how to test the luminosity or the wattage, so I have no way to see if it's indeed a 12+ but I assume that it is, it's just that my other saber, (from a company that shall not be named) is brighter, even though it's just a basic saber just with lights.
I have charged the batteries fully, just in case you ask. However it's not that bad, and it's still a good enough light. The colour is mint green and it's "oh so choice" as one might put it.
Finally I'm worried about the heating issue. The saber gets very warm after 1 minute of being on. Is this normal? Should I be worried? I don't really know, so any information regarding this would be much appreciated.
So, all in all. I love this saber, and apart from a few minor issues, I can't really complain too much. The sound is great, the saber works perfectly so far since I got it yesterday. If I had to rate it, I give this saber a solid 8.5/10
THANK YOU SABERFORGE for this awesome saber. I look forward to my next purchase.
Finally I would like to post a video review I have on my channel. I know it's not the greatest quality, so please be kind if you see it. I'm already getting thumbs down on it, and it's discouraging. If you have any advice on my videos, you can pm me that anytime.
If you'd like to see the saber in action, I did a short duelling video with a friend.
It's short, silly, but the sabers look great.

Thanks everyone for the awesome feedback. I'm having a blast with the saber. After duelling with it, I realized it's a bit top heavy. I found out that it's the blade, So I'm going to order a slightly shorter and lighter blade.
Now I have to finish my Jedi costume for next years convention, and Rebel One this Christmas. I'm going for an old republic Jedi with armor and robe.
