Overall good sword for price but......
I'm content with the sword, for the price it was an okay buy. There are a few cosmetic issues here and there, not a big deal because I could always add a little paint and fine tune the small things.However, my biggest concern is that the integrity of the sword I received wasn't up to par with my standards when buying a sword.While I was inspecting the sword, I noticed that there is a crack in the blade itself towards the tip. Now of course I got this sword for decoration purposes, but the fact that there is a crack in the blade baffles me.How did this sword get through quality inspection? I'm not 100% sure how deep the crack goes but I hope it doesn't run too far into the blade.I want to give a higher review but a crack in a blade that got sold to me is just ridiculous and uncalled for.Be weary when buying this, I'm not expecting perfection but a defective blade is definitely a no go.For pictures:Couldn't get a good angle on the crack but it's towards the top third of the blade at the tip. It's deeper than the picture shows but my camera wouldn't focus on it.Silver paint looks like it was haphazardly painted on, below it in the hilt there's a scuff as if a tool or something was dropped on it.

Beautiful SAO Replica! A Must Have for SAO sword collection!
The sword arrived today and it is amazing! I don't like the wood sheath but that's personal taste. The sheath has a minor ding in it but it's not a big deal. The sword is Fabulous though, and I am sure he will love it! It is a gift for my husband who loves SAO. He also has a replica of Cloud's buster sword so this will be an awesome addition. I will definitely be adding the second sword later for his birthday! I will update later with pictures once he gets to open it, because I had to quickly stash it before he walked in.

I loved it
I honestly didn’t expect it to be as well made as it is. The only downside about it is that after a few times of taking it out of the bolder the side of the sword gets incredibly scratched up. It isn’t a huge deal for me as I only needed it for a photoshoot but if you want it as a viewing piece I’d say decide if you want it out or in its holster and keep it that way. Or risk ruining the paint job.It’s also super heavy and the tip is sharpe. Deff won’t be taking this to a con ever.

FANTASTIC
This sword is great!! I bought it for myself because I love SAO and I also have a thing for swords. It by no means is battle ready, but for $90 the craftsmanship is very good. No wobble in handle, it is about half tang, so if you do want to swing it around I'd recommend holding on the top half of the handle. You always get what you pay for with swords, and this is a good quality display that you can swing around without worries, but don't go trying to cut down trees or slice fruit. (it's sharpened)

Sword in picture is different than what you get
So the sword in the picture is not the exact sword that you get. The sword that you get looks kind of similar, but a lot of the details are very much different. As the seller you should let people know that the store that they see in the picture isn't going to be what they're going to get; so if someone wants the exact sword in the picture they're going to be quite disappointed. Also the teal paint that's on it is chipped in a lot of places.

Ok I suppose. Could be A LOT better.
ProsGreat handleSolid sheathVery nice looking sword for displayingConsScratches on one side of the sword right out of the box. Seems to be from the sheath. Not a fan of getting a sword that is already damaged. I think it will only get worse over time. The sword does NOT sit well in the sheath.Delivery was very VERY slow. They waited days to pack it up and ship it.The paint used on the sword and sheath is easily the lowest quality I have ever seen. It is quite pathetic honestly. I could take it off with my finger nail. Really sad to see such low quality in such a nice looking sword.With so many cons I have a hard time suggesting this to other SAO fans. BUT I am a huge SAO fan and this is still one of my favorite pieces in my collection despite the unforgivable flaws. So unless you are a big fan of SAO like my self you will not be pleased with this sword. I will probably be purchasing a higher quality one from another vendor/site in the future. As weird as it sounds I am happy and disappointed with this sword at the same time......does that even make sense? HAHAHA!!!!

Overall, amazing sword and quality!
First of all, the shipping was incredible. I placed the order December 30th and received it this afternoon (1.4.16), I was really impressed with how quickly the sword came, when it was scheduled to arrive on the 11th or 12th. It was packaged very securely and safely, the box it came in wasn't damaged at all, which was very pleasing. Overall, Elucidator's beautiful! It's true to the anime, well balanced, and put together very well. There were a few scratches in the paint by the hilt from being in the sheath (I'm assuming), but it's nothing major. The only major complaint I have is that there's a fairly big crack in the side of the sheath. I'm not sure if the crack formed since the box was sitting outside my house in the cold this morning for a couple of hours or if something happened during manufacturing/shipping unrelated to the quality and security of the packaging itself. Overall, I'm incredibly happy with this and I know my boyfriend is going to love it for our anniversary! (He's planning on getting me Lambent Light!)**Update: I contacted Top Swords about the damaged sheath about a day or so after it initially arrived and they promptly shipped out a new sheath that arrived within 2 days in perfect conditions and was also very securely packaged.Thank you Top Swords!
