i thought id throw this on here instead of fx sabers.. toddshogun already did the review of his Imperial Knight mk5 on the fx forum anyway...

specs

Vaders Vault Imperial Knight MK5

PC sound board v1.5 unlocked

EP4 font

10 watt led engin rgb for OSPP

in hilt recharge

7.4v lithium batterys

polished chrome finish

black powder coated middle grip

recessed buttons, accent leds and recharge port

the saber is beautiful without doubt, the middle grip section twists to reveal the pc and sd card
its very easy to get to and change the sounds i love the fact that i can swap out the sounds now that the pc is flashed which vaders vault did for me at no extra cost, it swigs great and that ospp using a 10 watt is awesomely bright.. love those 10 watt leds

this being my 1st pc saber i was a little dissapointed with the board (to start with) but its cos im comparing it to my cf sabers..
a few things im not too keen on is the rattling from the pc sensors and also its not the loudest saber but apart from that i love it and i can live with it as it is...
the blade is a standard Vaders Vault 1" sanded show blade and is 1 of the best blades iv seen

overall i think its a superb saber very elegant and the purple blade is perfect if i could have got a cfv5 for it i would have but i think the pc will be staying in this one for good

I've always loved the look of this saber. Very clean, and elegant. My own saber is modelled after it, whether by coincidence or design.

VV does great work. That looks like one saber which'll stay in your collection for a long time, eh?

The replacement for their old stunt line?

These are not a "run" per se. We normally wait until we have at least 3 orders for them and then do them at once. This time we did 4, 3 MKVs and one original IK. The MKVs have the flush mount AV switch, PC, 2 flushmount 3mm accent LEDs and the custom machined aluminum switch hat for the aux switch. It is the MKV because it was the 5th "evolution" of this design
