Graflex Wannabe - E17

Best Replica light sabers ever. Durable with great sound technology. Fully customizable.

Don’t underestimate this saber.

This is an excellent saber if you’re going for a simplistic design that isn’t intentionally an exact replica of the original Graflex but still manages to maintain some of the more recognizable elements. When I chose this one, the idea was to weather it so it could be displayed as an ancient saber that was the inspiration for the more well known version, and it worked out perfectly.

My first saber from TS

This is a bit of a late review, but I wanted to talk about my experience with this saber. The Wannabe Graflex is such a great idea. I always wanted a Graflex, but they are just too expensive for me and I didn't want to test out my first purchase on TS with such an expensive piece. So I opted to by the Wannabe and was not disappointed. It's also my first LED lightsaber and I was wowed by the colors and effects this can achieve, knowing only hilt-lit sabers until now. The prepackaged soundfonts have amazing variety, with some fun ones in between (Tusken Killer and Podracing) My reason for giving only 4 stars is, that the documentation regarding the saber, especially removing the battery or changing sound fonts is a bit iffy and needs some more fine-tuning. Videos depict different chassis and methods of removing the battery and when I tried uploading custom soundfonts I broke my proffie installation somehow and had to doctor around in config files with the help of somebody on Discord. Also the small parts of the rubber fins easily break unfortunately, I already lost 2 or 3 of those, but this is only an aesthetic problem. Other than that, I'm fully satisfied with my purchase and to be fully honest, I'm looking forward to the next big sale :D If I could wish for some things it would be the following: * to streamline the documentation, either make different videos for different chassis, or reduce the number of chassis variations * make it easier to remove the battery, I was really really worried the first few times when I had to push and pull out the battery, because it was such a tight and strong fit * maybe work on a small piece of software that makes it easier to upload new soundfonts or edit current ones
