I emailed on the subject a few times, but the plates close to the blade keep falling off like the screws or the screw holes are stripped out. I’ve been waiting a few weeks for customer service to get a hold of me on how to fix the problem. I personally would not recommend this saber.

Very happy with this saber. My only complaint is the silver vein finish. I thought it would be more black with silver running through the paint but it seems far more silver with only small hints of black underneath. Other than that I am very happy. I will definitely buy another saber from you guys in the future. I highly recommend the hero+ Neo pixel package. Being able to switch colors, effects, and sound fonts at will just really makes the saber feel top of the line and worth every penny. The hilt is a little longer than expected but that is actually a plus, allowing me to use it with one hand or two very comfortably. It’s also heavier than expected but that also gives it a very realistic and authentic feel, instead of feeling like it’s cheaply made out of plastic. The brightness of the Neo pixel blade is extremely surprising, even in well lit areas. The different sound fonts are very engaging and fun to play around with. The hardest thing was choosing which sound font i wanted to use since there are so many options I just found myself cycling through them non stop. All in all I give this saber 10/10. Expect another order from me soon!!!

I have dreamt of owning my very own lightsaber for as long as I have loved Star Wars and the Cleric has made that dream come true (and SaberForge)! I would recommend the weathered look as each one seems to be unique. The balance of the saber is great and when spinning, it feels comfortable. The quality of this saber is awesome (not that I have anything to compare it to as this is my first saber), but it does feel awesome (built quality and look - just have to make sure the emitter is screwed in tightly). It does help with strength and cardio while spinning as it is on the tad "heavy" side, but as stated, this is my first. The look and feel of this saber is awesome.

I live in Aus and I thought it would take longer to arrive but it arrived when expected and nothing seemed to be out of place. The only suggestion is I wished that SaberForge would send updates on the progress of the build. Apart from that, there is nothing at this stage to improve on.

The quality of the blade seems great as well. I have "duelled" against my 18month old daughter with her Kanan saber from K-mart and it held up its end of the battle. Looking forward to some choreographed duelling when my friends eventually buy their own (I have recommended SaberForgre to them all!). Thank you SaberForge and to the Cleric hilt design.

The force is strong with this saber! The hilt looks amazing and feels great in your hand. I recommend the weathered look. I love how you can see part of blade through the hilt.

I ordered my Cleric with the Champion electronics package first, but reconsidered a week later and emailed asking if I could upgrade to Hero + Pixel, which they were able to do with no problem. My saber came a few weeks after the 12-15 weeks listed here, but when I emailed to ask about it I eventually got a response saying that it had failed a quality check so they were going back and fixing some things.

The end result looks to be a very solid lightsaber. The shrouds on my hilt don't have the stripped screws problem that I see reported here and elsewhere, and there's no play in them whatsoever. It is a bit bigger and heavier than I expected -- the site lists the length as 11.8 inches, but with the shrouds I measure it to be 13.5" -- and I'm still getting used to the balance for spinning purposes. But it looks great, and I've gotten many positive comments from friends about it. This is also my first neopixel saber, and I'm having great fun playing around with the various lighting effects.
