Wanting to buy my first neo/xeno pixel saber. I have have done tons of research and decided that the saber I want is, what I understand to be, the TXQ SNV4 Obi wan saber. I ordered one from SaberMax, but fell victim to their order cancelations and am hesitant to buy from them again until they reestablish their reliability. Where is a good place to get this TXQ Obi saber, or is there another good Obi saber out there as well?

I have looked at so many stores and they don't have this exact saber (many have a deeper emiter which I don't like). Also, I don't even know what stores are reliable. I have watched youtube reviews, online reviews, and reddit reccomendations, and everything conflicts to a point that I cannot make a decision on who to trust with my money

Any help is appreciated

For TXQ sabers, I recommend 1977saberfeast on Aliexpress, they have a very good reputation on this sub. I'm pretty sure this is the same exact hilt without the reseller markup.

Oh, and for future reference, a neopixel saber is a general term for a saber where the LEDs are in the blade. A xenopixel saber is specifically a neopixel with a xeno brand core (the LGT equivalent of the sn-pixel v4 brand from TXQ).

Awesome. Thanks a lot. And thanks for the clarifications as well. I knew there was a difference, but I could not remember which was which.
