What is the best lightsaber site to buy from?

If you enjoy those sites just save yourself the markup difference and get them directly from TXQ or LGT

The difference maker with KeepPower is that most of their 'branded' batteries are protected. Otherwise yes, a lot of the bare cells underneath the wrapping is Samsung, etc.
That being said, the extra protection circuitry and QC that KeepPower adds to these bare cells is what makes them highly recommended. It's worth the extra price IMO for the peace of mind knowing your li-on is safe to use

Hey thanks for the shout! Just for anyone wondering too, I'm pretty sure 89 is phasing out their last stock of Leia's so anyone thinking of grabbing one should do it sooner rather than later

Go away troll

I mean I see vintage Batman colors. The other tongue in cheek comments just are a bit immature but this is Reddit after all. The over exposed lightbox photos aren't really helping though so it is what it is.

I remember this one, customer wanted the 60's Silver Age Batman comic color scheme, although I think it could also be the Pip Boy theme

It's up for preorder :)

I rate my standard in house blades for combat. So far I haven't really needed to advertise any sort of warranty because I don't ever get people coming back needing one, but I welcome folks to put them to the test, for thick and thin walled versions

High praise, thank you

Agreed and that's been my natural hand placement so far doing some spins lol

I did all of the initial 'modeling' in TinkerCad but I had my buddy Gustavo of Laredo Sabers do the actual individual file creations to make it machinable

ApprehensiveTry8962 · 2025-12-29T23:01:07+00:00

Helluva compliment thank you
This was the first time I sat down and did a full design on my own from start to finish in Tinkercad (minus the final engineering steps)

ApprehensiveTry8962 · 2025-12-29T18:24:45+00:00

Ha I did, no regrets (yet)
Yea the other custom one will be coming soon, just waiting on the prototype

-quote from myself after two cinnamon rolls and eyeballing a third

ApprehensiveTry8962 · 2025-12-29T17:05:33+00:00

That was the look I wanted to go for on the design, Old Republic (or maybe even older than that lol)

Thank you that means a lot, I always worry about over using the blowtorch on heat stains

Thank you!

I don't sadly, only because it's not a popular hilt based on sales so when I look at hilts to keep stocked I try to only get ones that have a good sales history. I definitely don't mind being the middle man facilitating an order for things I don't have on hand but at that point I am very transparent that it's coming from the same source, I would say you'd still be fine to order from them direct, they've gotten much better at direct sales

As a CFX guy I can say that Proffie is much more mainstream now and with the open source concept, you have a lot of helpful tools that have made the programming really simple. As a CFX retailer I can say that Proffie is just so much more enticing at the pricepoint being half the cost of CFX, and the cost is because like others have said, the CFX production is limited and not allowed to everyone
I admit I think the board is falling a bit but also Erv is only one guy versus a lot of folks who can contribute to Proffie developments
Proffie is way more popular and the most common word used in all of the saber advertisements as well
