Flammability warnings are a challenge rather than a deterrent.

MARRY HER THAT IS RARE! Lol. Seriously tho, that is nice, having someone close to you that's supportive. This hobby is definitely an expensive one, but I usually end up asking my friends how much they pay for their NFL/NBA replica jerseys and expensive sports packages per year, or just how much WERE those tickets they bought to that game they drove across the country for again...? I don't think I've found a hobby that ISN'T expensive, honestly. You do you. Do what you love. They'll either accept it and you, or not. And if it's not, then... they weren't true friends, imo. You shouldn't have to ever pretend to be someone you're not around loved ones. There's my Yoda advice for ya... 
Some great advice, friend... Thank you  Knightwolf wrote:
Dude if anyone's opinion matters, it's your's. And if your girlfriend loves that side of you, PERFECT!! Welcome to the family bud XD
Thank you, glad to join you guys!  Afadir wrote:
Let me share a little story with you.
A very lovely story that was. Sounds like you've got it made with a girl like that in your life!! Afadir wrote:
Was it stated what color Malik was getting that Venom in? *desperately tries to change the subject*
Yes, 12W+ red  Funny story actually, my girlfriend's favorite color is red and she insisted I get a red saber. That pretty much made up my mind to get the Venom in red. I then had to explain to her that in Star Wars, siths generally carry red lightsabers. She's actually just as excited as I am to get the saber!

Happiness is fleeting a lot of the times and if a "glorified flashlight" makes you happy, well... buy twenty!
Of course, this advice comes to you from a chick who's currently wandering around the house at 0100 and eating fried chicken while dressed as a dinosaur so YMMV. 
I think that last part actually makes your wonderful advice all the more genuine

Any companion like that, sounds like a keeper. My own wife has prevented me from making the same error many a time because when does not want to see me pouting because I settled and then turning around and buying what I really wanted later.
On the bright side my girlfriend thinks my geekiness is cute
Recently, she had to repeat that advice to me when I discovered that lightsabers were now something I could afford, now that I've moved to somewhere with an actual economy and have a job that doesn't only pay two cents above the legal minimum. I saw the SF Bane on etsy, got really excited, and then almost backed out and bought something from another, cheaper saber-maker, even though I didn't like it as much. I actually had the purchase through the other place on the checkout screen when she walked by, stopped, and said "That's not the one you wanted, is it?" "No," said I. "But it's a hundred bucks cheaper." She made a face at me, and responded "Psh, bills are paid. Now, get the one you like before I smack you." ? It is one reason(of many) we have been married for 21 years as of this coming Dec., because she understands the the idiosyncrasies of a man who lives by the quote,"Growing older is mandatory, growing up is optional."---At least when it comes to his toys and hobbies.

Entering week three waiting for my Reborn to ship out and I've already got the itch to buy another saber lol. Every time I've bought a saber, I've always known I'd buy another not long after. But this is the first time I've actually had to stop myself from ordering another saber. The Crystal Reveal Prodigal Son and Redeemer are both calling to me lol.

I keep telling myself to wait until the 12w+s are released before buying another saber. My resolve is tested daily. *waggles fingers @ the Silver Knight*

Yoo hoo! I just ordered my first saber! I got one of the last four Exiles from Etsy! This has been the first on my list to get and I bought one before they were all gone. I got it as an empty hilt (since that's all I could afford) but I will be adding electronics to it once the ASP drop-in electronics become listed on Etsy next month! I asked in the comments for the high polished silver finish on the grip/body section instead of the anodized black. In the future I'll be putting a 12w+ Lime-green LED with a viridian soundboard. I'M SO EXCITED!

Light and darkness, you cannot have one without the other. To achieve equilibriem you must be in harmony with both; the path between.

Yeah, that's another reason I'm waiting. I paid to upgrade the LED in the Reborn to the 12W+, which isn't a problem because I definitely was willing to do so. But I definitely would rather wait for it to officially launch before I buy another saber. I just have to decide between the two sabers because I can't afford both  . So similar yet so different, which makes the decision that much more difficult lol.

I have the next one picked out already but waiting on grades. It'll be a long ten weeks till the end of classes here before the next saber. That is, if grades go exceptionally well.
