When you turn on the light saber there is a bright ring of light around the tip of the blade. When I emailed photographs of this issue I was told that it wasn’t a defect but was on all of the blades. When I checked the website and Facebook I could see very few photos which show the tip of the blade, and none of them show this issue. I would not have let me 11 year old spend his money on this if I had known about this issue.
I was a little apprehensive but these sabers are AWESOME!! Especially the mystery boxes! Can’t wait till all parts are available to make my own saber.
The excitement of receiving a Mystery Box of any sort is always filled with anticipation, and as this is my first lightsaber from Es Sabers I can safely say I felt like a kid waiting for Christmas. Of course the downside of a Mystery Box is the chance of disappointment, but that didn’t happen.
When I opened the box, which you’ll see from the picture was contained in another box, I was thrilled to find the following:
A 32 inch Saber blade
Charging cable
Instruction booklet (Also available videos on website)
Screws and Allen key
Aesthetic screws
Hilt wrap
And finally, the hit itself…
In this case I got the Scora hilt in black, with silver and black aesthetic screws.
The hilt itself is beautifully made, absolutely top quality, and with the blade added looks stunning. It is also well balanced in the hand. however, it is the soundboard where this Lightsaber shines (excuse the pun) through.
Whilst I only got the standard RGB base lit core, it it still truly spectacular. Even in daylight the blade is relatively bright, although I imagine the pixel version is way better from the reviews I’ve read. But it is the soundboard that impresses, as despite being a base model there are still a good array of sound (and light) effects. I haven’t even tried everything yet and I’m already in love with my new Saber.
If there was one small flaw with my Mystery Box, it’s that the Scora has the same switch/emitter as the Racoblu Saber I ordered prior to attending Comic Con. That said the Racoblu I ordered is coming in silver, giving me a perfect opportunity to start work on designing my own Saber with both Sabers and the parts I also ordered with the Racoblu in mind.
As you’ll see from the pictures, I’ve added the slotted pommel and Covertec wheel adapter to my Scora hilt. But once I have my Racoblu Saber I’ll experiment with the handles, the blade (I have the 28 inch coming with my Racoblu Saber) and the pommels.
But as it stands the Scora Saber is beautiful, and worth every penny, especially given it came in the slightly cheaper Mystery Box (£79 compared to £95 if ordering the Scora Saber - saving £16 over the normal price) and with May 4th discount of 20% this was truly the best buy I’ve ever made.
I’m incredibly happy with my first ever Saber from Es Sabers, and I doubt very much that when my Racoblu Saber arrives that it will be my last.
I highly recommend Es Sabers, but would point out that whilst the Mystery Box was shipped within days (presumably they are pre-made and ready to ship) any other Sabers ordered are made to order and can take sometime. The irony being I ordered my Racoblu Saber over 2 weeks ago and the Mystery Box on Friday May 2nd, and got the Mystery Box first, just 6 days later.
To sum up, these are beautiful Sabers, but be prepared that you could get anything in the Mystery Box. However, the Mystery Box will always save you money, how much depends what Saber you get. Whilst ordering a Saber means a wait whilst it is made for you.
But if you like surprises I would say the Mystery Box is for you, especially as you can get so many interchangeable parts.
*waves hand* This is the Saber you’re looking for!
May the Force be with you!
Genuinely impressed with the quality of the product.
I ordered the standard mystery bundle and got the saber ‘Scora’. The saber comes with an abundance of pre-loaded colours and sounds that are entirely customisable with push of a button. Not to mention the motion controls that the blade had gave it a nice touch - this being something you can enable/disable through dismantling the saber and configuring the SD card built within the saber.
Would recommend to anyone wanting a good quality saber and will definitely be purchasing again to eventually make a double bladed saber!
I bought my fellow star wars nerd of a boyfriend a mystery sabre for Christmas and he (we) are super happy with it. We got Darth Revans and its so well crafted. They did a wrap as well and it looks so neat! A woman who works there called me and she was very lovely and professional when she was discussing they had run out of the wrap colour I ordered, and suggested black. It looks way better with black. I didn't expect it to arrive before Christmas but came the next day! Thanks ES Sabers!
To say I was thrilled ot receive the saber I'd been hoping for is an understatement. The sound fonts, RGB lighting, design is perfect. There's just as much fun to be hand in figuring out and customising your saber as there is in actually using it.
Very happy with saber obviously you always hope you are gonna get lucky and get a signature one that is the only reason I didn't put 5 stars but other than that it was great value for 75 pounds excelent quality
Great item, my son loves it and all the features it has
Not a patch on others like Theory,SWA,star wars replicas.star wars FX,Disney legay/Galaxy's Edge,Savi's Workshop etc.Sorry but you did ask.Fairly decent for the price of this mystery box one but have to admit I did expect at least a 30/31inch blade.The hilt looks like it could handle a drop onto a hard surface(but the tennis racket style grip tape included isn't the best for such purpose on this hilt)but other than that it'll do for swinging/spinning practice.In comparison to blatant cheap imitations out there(and there are many believe me)I give it 2 stars out of 5.
Money well spent, arrived in no time at all, customer care the whole way.
Will be making another purchase in the future.
Nice product, really well made. Happy with the mystery box as a purchase. Pleased with the contents.
Nice lightsaber, Very good core. A bit too long shipping
Nice saber.
I took a punt and didn't get lucky. It's not the shops fault, they have stagnant stock to shift and as long as some cracking sabers are sent out I have no complaint. I like ES Sabers as a company. Just wish I had hit gold in this occasion. I only put 3 stars based on the mystery saber I receieved. Don't let that put you off using this company.
Loved it, better than expected.
Thank you so much I love my new and first ever saber !!!
Great value and as always a quality item.
Got the mystery saber and it’s very well built, nice heavy handle
My boys (8 and 11) had found and researched this company in pursuit of the perfect lightsaber and both chose the mystery box to spend their savings from
Pocket money / Christmas / birthdays on. They are both delighted - brilliant products , very realistic , hours and hours of joy so far. We opted against the kids ones as we thought they’d probably be too small but these were perfect and although it was a bit of a risk they were both really happy with the hilts they received . They also arrived within a few days of ordering. Thank you!
Having ordered what turned out to be sub-standard sabres from another company with blades which broke easily after a couple of duelling sessions, it was with some trepidation that I tried again to purchase a sabre for my son which would meet our expectations regarding quality and durability.
This mystery box did not disappoint! The proffie blade and the hilt are everything we hoped they would be. The colours and sounds are awesome and a joy to behold. So much so, my soon to be 11 year old also wants one for his birthday.
I won’t lie, I think I now know what I shall be getting myself for Christmas…
Liked it
Way nicer then the ones I got at Disney
Very good, very nice
I wanted to try this out and I was very pleasantly surprised with what I got! Worth the wait and worth the money I spent
Good saber!!!!
Amazing product. Good quality saber. I will be buying another in the near future
