     One of the big problems with the Force FX Lightsaber stands that are included with your expensive sabers is that they display your saber horizontally, with no support on the plastic blade. Over time, that blade will sag and hold it's shape, causing the blade to be permanently warped. The solution: either tack a nail in the wall to hold it up, or visit Saber-Stand.com and check out their vertical stand solution! Storing the saber vertically not only saves your blade from warping, but it also looks better and saves space! Visit Saber-Stand today for more details!
