I got an old converted Mace some time ago and tried to sell it unsuccessfully in a couple of places. BUT I did get a trade, and guess what for?

Champion tier Gladius, no wrap, 12w blue LED, OLD STYLE!!!

I personally love the old Gladius much more (though it was my least favorite design the first time I saw SF) than the new one. I'm thinking of doing a tennis grip wrap when it comes and then overlaying that with an ito wrap. Add some other fabric here and there, weather it a bit. I'm psyched!!!

It ships out tomorrow (hopefully). I'll post pics when it comes.

He had another Gladius, and was wanting another 2007 Mace as it was his first saber ever. So we're both pretty happy - more so when we have our sabers in hand.

I'd love to have two so I have someone to duel, but no such luck. Parent's have shut down any further saber purchases...till I move out.

I agree with the bit about needing a different saber. I loved the Mace, don't get me wrong. It was pretty, and had nice rubber grips, even if they were bulky. I've always loved Windu's saber. And it was my first ever high quality saber. But I've got small hands for a seventeen year old guy, and that made the Mace awkward to handle (kind of like a mace, actually

). And with the saber having an odd switch setup, I was always accidentally turning it off. I think I'll be a fair sight happier with the Gladius, especially since it's the old model and has so many opportunities for customization.

I'm with you on the belief that the old Gladius was much better. I just liked the design a lot more. Perhaps if the new one didnt have the grooves on the emitter, I would like it much more.

Jyn-Toar Offline Premium Member Posts: 159 Thank you received: 17	The WIndu was very cool. Not the best for spins, but totally stunning as far as looks go. But the Gladius is epic for what I do - spinning and dueling. The grooves on the new one are what really turned me off too.

Jyn-Toar Offline Premium Member Posts: 159 Thank you received: 17	The Gladius is a phenomenal hilt. It's a no frills, perfect dueler. The 12w blade is incredibly bright, and it really has a lightsaber feel. So glad to have it.

Oh Knytiri, I'm laughing so hard right now! I can just see you sitting in the dark watching it with the volume way up, then the slightly creepy voice..."just tell me when you wanna stop"...LOL! *It startled me also
