Bought mine saber from amazon and its amazing. Love the quality of the hilt it is very durable feeling and has some heft to it. Lights are very bright and has a lot of colors and fonts to play with. Only downside to mines is when you insert the blade you have to find the sweet spot. Push the blade too in and the lights will malfunction, leave it to out and the blade wont turn one. Once you find the middle ground when installing the blade it works perfectly. Speaker is very loud as well. Comes with a USB if you want to customize the sounds and fonts. Hilt is very simple compared to Reys saber in the movie but if you look at the pictures and still but it you wont be bothered by it.
I'm giving this review a 4.5. There was a small shipping problem in the beginning, but the team reached out to me and quickly resolved it. Once I got the notification that the saber shipped, it literally took two days to get to me. I was so excited to receive my first neopixel saber.
Once I opened the box, I noticed that the instructions and the wrench were taped to the blade using packing tape. The only problem with that was, the blade was not covered completely in the wrapping, so the packing tape left a lot of sticky residue on the blade. It took a good twenty minutes to get it off. The hilt was packaged very nicely though. It is a very beautiful and nicely weighed hilt. One issue with this hilt is that, with the switch ignition changed to a single button, the switch on top kind of just spins and doesn't do anything but look cool. Although, it does sometimes get in the way. Another thing, the charging port is directly above the button. This would be fine if there were some kind of silicone plug I could insert there when it's not charging. As it is now, the hole feels weird in my hand and I find myself pressing it instead of the button at times. Additionally, I am missing the blade plug and stand that says is included in the order.
After letting the saber charge, I screwed in the blade. I ignited the blade and it did not disappoint. The sound is wonderful, the blade is extremely bright, smooth swing is incredible, and the fonts are fantastic. My inner kid lit up while holding this blade. I found myself jumping for joy at how cool this thing is. The price is high-ish but it was well worth it. I am incredibly happy with this product and Zia Sabers customer service and incredibly fast shipping. Incredible product, I will be telling everyone I know about this company and showing off my lightsaber.
I'm not sure if I can do this on this saber, but I would like to be able to remove the Proffie board to access the SD card so I may upload more fonts. Also, extra screws would be very welcomed for future orders. They are very small, and I'd like to have extras just in case one falls out or something.
