Well I've always found myself sifting through the forums to find what grab bags people have been getting lately. I thought a thread where people could post pictures of their Grab bag and a brief description of it would be helpful.
So let's see what sabers you got from your grab bag order!
What do you guys think?

I've had two grab bags now. The first one was a blue anodized Standard Issue v2 with vertical grooves and a Guardian Blue LED. The second one I got was a red anodized Liberator v2 with an Arctic Blue LED. Side by side comparison.

Link works fine for me. I got the same red anodized Liberator, but with a BR normal blade, matches quite well. CbrS*

Thanks, I'm still in shock! I'll probably send it in for sound eventually. Like I've mentioned before, I still need to send in my Libby and get the sound replaced (since I fried it), so I'll probably send the two in together in a while...like, after the wedding since spending more money right now is tantamount to slicing my own throat lol Here's the link to the review. http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=8174.0#new

@User name- I'm glad you like it!
@Benpass- it's not a red or blue Libby/SI; nice saber!
@CbrS- the red goes together perfectly!

Okay, I got my grab bag saber today. Imagine my surprise when I opened it and saw a Bane: Yes, it came with a Bellicose Short Groove Pommel. This thing is massive. That shoe next to it is a size 13EEEE. **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** Overall, I like it, but I have three issues: I. Ergonomics.The three raised buttons and the underside button will cause more consternation than anything. I've already accidentally turned it off three times. II. Aesthetics.Despite being an RGB hilt, it only has one color: Guardian Blue (middle of three buttons). The other two don't work at all. They don't even click, almost as if this was designed to be a single color LED, but they shoved the internals into an RGB hilt. III. Construction.The saber hilt rattles a bit when shaken. Not sure where it's coming from, other than inside the hilt. Maybe just an internal part clicking against something. Still, it's a nicely built saber, and a worthy Grab Bag special.

That's gotta be one of the greatest grab bag gets of all time (despite it only being one color). No doubt about it.
