I also love the addition of the bargraph. It contrasts the white blade very nicely. Congratulations VV on building (and improving on) another beautiful hilt. The work that both of you do never stops amazing me

Hehe,

I think you'll catch up :)  I've crossed into the "danger zone".  In a couple of ways lol.  Running out of room to display them and there's an increasing chance of wife agro.  ;)  I now have to have better justification other than "But...it's shiny!"  :D  So my advice, buy all you can NOW lol :D

Seriously though, I've built up my collecton quite a lot over the last couple of years and its down to ones that are already planned and a few specific sabers I'm interested in.  The IK for example was with the expectation that I would sell the one I have hehe :)

The Astus Bellator on the other hand, that was just a gotta have :D  And I didn't get any grief over it at all b/c she also knew that I wanted that one since it came out and was happy I got it.  And speaking of, it's my first saber that can also use the bargraph as a battery indicator.  I've found that I prefer that to the animated sequence.  I've got the PLI tuned EXACTLY so that when the last LED starts flashing quickly you've got ~20 seconds before she cuts off.  I think it works great :D

Hey, you'll just have to get another house for more shelf space! :D oh and on the shiny thing, they don't come any shinier than an IK so that makes this a winner :P

That sounds like a great feature that you have set up for the bargraph! I may have to sit down and actually learn a thing or two about the CFs settings! :D

I'm glad you got the approval for Astus Bellator. I don't see how there's any way anyone can possibly not like it. It's such a masterpiece. Display it proudly my friend!

Beautiful saber, simple yet elegant and I looove the multi-coloured bargraph. Another outstanding job VV. Dave, you must be one proud fella... your lightsaber collection is incredibly impressive to say the least!

Thank you very much :) I really do love my collection, they're like my children :D I'm honoured to have the opportunity to add such amazing sabers as this one to my collection.

Amazing! Man, a V8 moment hit me when I saw what you did with your bargraph. Radius the graph with acrylic. Genius. I should do that for my Fringe you guys did for me. Then my hands would feel much better, LOL. Great job as always and for the next IK project, I'd love to see where you would put the R.I.C.E port. or is that something that can be combined?

Just got my IK with the PC 20 today.  I'd post in the thread for it, but it was in the sales section and is lockified.  Anyhow, I just wanted to say that while this one isn't a CF5.  it's got to be the next best thing.  Sensitivity can be set just as good as a CF5, crystal clear sound, FoC, the works.  Actually if you think of it, it's got all the sounds of a CF4 minus the impact force2 sound.  And it sounds BETTER than a CF4 :)

Add to that the ability to swap out fonts at will.  It really is the baby CF we've been told it is :)

That's excellent Nightstorm! Makes me even more excited to be receiving mine :)

How do you like the new placement of the kill key?

It's pretty cool, the only downside I see is that you have to have the saber powered when you are removing or inserting the SD card.  You need to rotate the grip around to access it.  It works just fine though, I just don't like messing with the board when it's powered.  In my case, not a big deal as I'll just likely leave my Remnant font on there.

Are there any more of these being made/available?  I'd love one.

We do them in batches a few times a year in between our other builds.

Is there a list where I can sign up for one when they become available?  It's one of my favorite sabers, and I've got the money set aside for a CF version if it comes up (PC too, I just prefer CF).
