TOPIC: New Member Introduction Thread

Hello all!

My name is John and I am wishing to start a new chapter in my love of lightsabers.

In the past I have watched and wanted a saber of my own, now i am willing to take the plunge and buy one.

Any help you guys can offer will be most appreciated.

Welcome! Best place to start is with the Forum FAQ which gives you an introduction to the saber hobby and what Saber Forge offers: Saber Forge FAQ

Thank you it has a ton of info.

Hello everyone!

I decided to join the forum to get updates on SF and how things are going because I'd eventually like to buy an ASP saber when they're released

Buuuut unfortunately I cannot buy a saber any time soon because I'm in the middle of moving, so shipping issues would be hideous, and my wallet barely pays for just an empty hilt at the moment haha. I'm really here to fawn over something I really love and would like to own someday

Just to affirm my Force Affiliation, I'm more of a Gray Jedi or Dark jedi. I see the force like a Je'Daii seeing that both the dark side and the light side are equal. The light contains darkness, and the darkness contains light (like yin and yang)

Have a great day, and May the Force be with you all

Hey there BLOOOOO. Welcome to the forum! When you do get your saber please share some pics with us so we can celebrate with you!

Thank you! And i'll absolutely share some pics when I finally get a saber

Hello and welcome to Bloooooo_Eagle, mousse_gallon and varza!

hi folks my name is mike and I am from north Carolina...grew up with all of the star wars and been wanting to cosplay and learn and do some battling with sabers....main reason I joined the forms is to be able to make the best decision on what saber to buy for my new hobby looking forward to getting some major great impute

Hey, my name is Adam. I'm living in Oregeon now and I my first saber was a pretty awesome stick in 1983. Graduated I a flashlight with a plastic tube on it that made noises when you swung it back around 85. Joined the military and found out they don't have real light sabers so I only did one tour. Bought a force FX Darth Vader light saber back in 2006 and have been dreaming of a much better quality saber to duel with. I can't believe my luck in finding saber forge and that it's based right next to me. Looking forward to checking out the storefront. The Academy looks interesting but might be too old. Anyways, glad to be here and learn. Hoping to get further into the community and meeting like minded people.

Hey guys. Alfred here. Long time SW fan and SaberForge fan. I've always wanted one of these and now a friend will be getting me one as a birthday present. I'm super hyped. Hope to learn a lot from you all and build my stock of sabers!

Hey people, stopping in to say hey to everyone!

Bought myself a MR Anakin recently off ebay and seeing how awesome it is, ive decided to buy one from here after watching a lot of youtube videos from Shameem (possibly Dark Mario or something similar on here).

Bought a Guardian Champion coz Qui Gon I may even ask the man himself to create me a custom one, ive got a very particular design in mind which i havent seen him do yet.

Anyway, helloooooooo!

Hello to you Nausicaa. Welcome. Very nice choice in the Guardian. Been wanting that one myself.

Welcome Nausicaa,

Hello and pleased to have you as part of this forum! Nice choice in the Guardian, I am considering that Saber as my next one, as a fellow member commented I looked like Qui-Gon! He was joking, I think

Anyway I hope you enjoy your time in and around the forum, and as Greysider has proved the folks here are very welcoming and will help you if you should need it.

If you haven't already, don't forget to check the revised FAQ page and forum rules.
They are nothing too difficult and they just help to keep things running smoothly.

I hope to see your new saber when it arrives,

For Tyeth

p.s. Hey guys and gals, I nearly welcomed the previous post, phew!

Hello everyone!

I'm new to the forum and thought I'd introduce myself. Sorry for the long post, but I figured I'd give a little of history on my love of "lazer swords" as George Lucas likes to call them. Like most of you I've been a Star Wars fan all my life. I grew up during the dark times when there was no Star Wars merch on the shelves to buy. I was born in '81 so by the time I saw the movies the last of the Power of the Force figures were in the bargain bin. Still have the two I got back then. My buddy and I would have sleepovers where we'd watch all 3 movies and act out the lightsaber duels, but we had to use wiffle ball bats as sabers, and a tuperware cup to simulate a stump when someone would lose a hand.

When the toys came back out in the mid-90's, I bought an ROTJ Luke saber (the ones that extend and light up) and loved how it lit up and made sounds. I was too old to be playing with toys by then, but whatever.

In the early 2000's I attended my first comic con in Chicago and Parksabers had a booth. I'd never seen anything like it and immediately ordered one. (The old "EL" style. Not very bright. Blades bend a lot when you swing them.)

When the MR Force FX came out, I bought an Anakin AOTC saber on clearance somewhere. I was amazed that it was brighter than all the other ones and made sounds like the old Hasbro saber from the 90's.

I ended up buying a few more MR Force FX when they came out with the LED string that would ignite from the hilt on up like in the films. Lots of fun, but I didn't like how the blades weren't removable. I completely missed the fact that they even made ones with removable blades later on, but I never liked how oversized they were to make room for the 6 AAA batteries. Around this time I also got into collecting the .35 scale replica hilts. I still have way too many in a box somewhere I need to put on eBay (maybe to fund more Saberforge sabers...)

After the prequels I kind of lost my passion for collecting Star Wars stuff. When TFA was announced I was cautiously optimistic, having no enjoyed the prequels very much. Until the first teaser, when I started to let myself get caught up in the hype. Then I had a chance to attend Celebration earlier this year since a friend already had a hotel room paid for. I went and saw the second teaser and I was hooked again. Saw all the saber manufacturer's booths at the convention but didn't look too close. Just noticed that most looked different now. Now I understand that these were the type with the LED in the hilt that are made for dueling.

A few weeks ago my two best friends and I were hanging out before going to see TFA. I dug out all my old Force FX sabers and put batteries in them so we could mess around with them. I was lamenting having not bought a ROTJ Luke saber while they were out. Started looking on eBay and saw them going for crazy prices, but also noted how crummy the neck section looked on that saber. Not at all like the movie. That led me on a Google search for decent Luke ROTJ sabers, which led me here.

I went ahead and ordered a Parksabers Graflex ESB (before I looked at the upcoming release thread and saw that Saberforge would be doing a Graflex. Either way, it'll be cool to have a fairly accurate replica of the Graflex.)

I'm currently getting ready to order a Prodigal Son Champion in 12w+ Green. I've also been eyeing the Exalted or Gladius if I ever decide to get a second Saberforge saber. I've had a lot of fun obsessing and reading on the forum. Nice to meet all of you.

Nice to meet you Erderich. Welcome to the forum. I see you are no noob when it comes to "saber love". This is the place for you my friend.

Hello Erderich,

Welcome to the forum, I see you have already plunged into the depths and started to explore what the site has to offer.
I hope you enjoy what you find and enjoy even more making contributions to the various topics.

It looks as if you'll fit right in from reading your intro and don't worry about "being too old to be playing with toys" these are the ultimate in "Big Boy Toys" and there's nothing better than receiving your first SaberForge!

Kind regards
