Thank you all for the very fast response! But there were some questions that weren't answered but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thank you very much again!

Sorry, I went through your post twice and thought I hit most of the main points. Would you like to expand upon what wasn't answered? :)

Thanks for being ever so helpful!

Now I didn't want anyone thinking that I thought RGBA worked on warrior. I knew it wasn't there. However, I didn't make it clear that I was willing to go up to the next tier (Champion? Hero?) Most of it was talking about RGBA though, and I didn't really get any other answers.

I know that it will obviously be much heavier than the toys I mentioned. I was more referencing them for hilt length/ thickness and blade length.

I was assured from a moderator that the internals are stable, but this is mostly coming from my personal worries of me doing something incorrectly with the saber.

I was elucidated on my other questions such as wrench size, but I wasn't enlightened on those topics.

Thank you guys very much for the help as I am also looking forward to your Adaptable Parts line as well.

Many thanks again,

-Bcom976

Well, as I said, RGBA is only available on hero. Tiers go: initiate - warrior - champion - hero. Perhaps I missed your other questions about it? I felt as if the RGBA situation was pretty thoroughly addressed...

Hilts vary in size, but as a general rule SF sabers run on the small size of the spectrum. Apprentice sabets are smaller than elite sabers. Most size measurements can be found on the sabers listings but not all.. on average the length is around 10-12 inches for most sabers. Some with claws are longer. Blade length, you have your choice between. 26, 32, and 37in. It's mostly personal preference.

You should technically never have to open and fiddle with the internals of your saber. Doing so actually will void your warranty. Do so only at your own risk, and with some experience, preferably.

Wrench size is 5/64" for the blade and led retention screws. These 8-32 screws hold the blade and led in place in the hilt and are accessible on the external hilt of the saber. Only mess with the led screw if you have quick connects on your saber, otherwise trying to remove the led will most likely result in a broken wire.

If you have more questions, being specific with what you're asking helps. General questions it's hard to know exactly what you're asking, and can lead to some frustration in not getting what you're looking for.

Thank you but I wanted to know if it was worth it. I wasn't necessarily saying That I wanted to get a bit more details on it.

what better way to help you decide if it was worth it, than to have some resident experts and vets throw in, not only facts to help answer your various questions, but also help guide you with opinions on the sabers themselves.
at the end of the day in my opinion, yes it will be worth it.
These sabers kick serious ass, and i speak from experience when i say, they can take and ass kicking.
i have owned various tiers and types of hilts from SF and they have all been very durable dueling weapons and beautiful pieces of art.
my advice would be the same as the others have posted here already, and the same can be said for the facts in the details given, all i can say is, which saber was the one you first saw that brought you here asking questions and thinking over buying one? which one does your gut tell you is friggan awesome?
if your gonna get one, go with whichever one that is.
and may the force be with you.

    • Yeah, these are pretty cool. I especially see the shoto-like blade as an homage to Yoda's...
