Lightech VS. Parks sabers..Your thoughts!
|
Hi, I'm debating on which brand of light saber to get. I've been looking a lot at www.lightechindustries.com and www.parksabers.com I believe...And I'm trying to decide which ones are better. If any of you have these, and could let me know what you think of them, please do.
Thanks a lot!

Parks is a lot better. They have better looking lightsabers and they are cheoper.

The guy from lightech is nice, so is Jeff Parks. However, Jeff Parks actually returns his emails (quickly toom I night add), his sabers are imho higer quality work, and less money so more for the buck! Plus the guy from lightech used to work for Parksabers... that's where he learned his stuff. I'd go with the master, not the apprentice.

I am soo relieved to hear the parksaber praise since I just dropped 300 smackeroos on one and have never heard of the other guys. Unfortunately, they have so much business that I won't get it until the middle of August(ish). Delivery time is at 10 weeks now.

I just got my Lightech saber in the mail today...and I ordered it on Thursday. That's only 4 days!!!! I am extremely impressed with the speed here. The thing that I didn't like about Parks is that (going by the pictures) they have a different tip on the blade. I could be wrong about this.
The guy at Lightech was very helpful and even knocked $25 ($200 total for the Viper) off of the price for me. I have absolutely no complaints about the quality either.
Just my two cents.

The red tip you see in the pics is just a rubber cap for liability purposes. It pops right off.

Ahhh...well, that explains it. I'll definately consider one of Park's in the future (the very near future). From what I understand, he is going to have one that takes two 9V batteries and is brighter.
Lightech did tell me that they are working on a sound upgrade for their sabers. Anyone know if Parks has this in the works too?

Not only does the red tip pop right off, but they now provide a clear one so you can have one that doesn't look stupid AND stuff won't fall into the open end of the tube.

I need to buy a new digicam... the old one got dropped and is kaput. In a couple weeks I should have pics of mine, but we had a costume event tonite so if any pics are posted, I'll link them. I have a customized Echelon (have some black anodizing on the hilt). My wife has a Maelstrom, green blade, for now.

i picked up a green-bladed plasma saber from
high-techmagic.com for about $150 and was very satisfied. it is very bright, and the batteries haven't gone out yet (and i've brought it to the theater 5 times! twice in costume as ben kenobi) the hilt is kind of plain, but i am in the process of customizing it, and will convert it later to a metal hilt like the graflex. actually, i like the anh obi-wan sabre the best. does anyone know of parts available to make one of those???
