Title: Mystery Box Review Post by: enragedelk on July 03, 2020, 05:10:47 PM This is my first saber I ever bought, so im not a collector or anything. I thought it was cool so I bought a mystery box, and I gotta say, it's meh. I received the Liberator v3 hilt, and while I know it was a mystery box so I shouldn't complain, this is the most boring plain hilt on the entire website. I don't hate it or anything, im just, disappointed. The blade its self is nice, being a mid grade, my only complaint is the blade had a slight curve to it. On the hilt was some tape, and a few scuff marks, but was surprised it came with batteries. Its a nice saber, but honestly, feels a little on the cheap end. I took it apart a bit just to see how it works, and was really surprised how bright the light was, even blinded my self for a second lol. Other then those minor things I did have a shipping issue, I didn't receive my package for 5 weeks, and that's after contacting customer service (thank you Aria), while I do understand theres a pandemic right now, it would be nice if the website was updated to address the longer processing and shipping times. Overall it's a decent saber, though I do feel I overpaid a bit. Also wasn't a fan of not having free shipping as an option. I like the saber, the orange color is beautiful, so overall I would give this, a 3/5.

Glad to hear you like the blade and the color though =) Title: Re: Mystery Box Review Post by: Malik Thanewulf on July 03, 2020, 09:38:11 PM If I may suggest, next time, order the saber you want, the way you want it choose your own features and I can honestly say, you will love it. I only have one mystery box ( my 1st order).

I only have one mystery box ( my 1st order). I have to agree with Malik on this one. If I'm spending money on anything, I want to know exactly what I'm getting. However, my first order qualified me for a free grab bag and free mystery box, and i wasn't about to pass those up. Title: Re: Mystery Box Review Post by: HesaHeart on July 03, 2020, 10:08:26 PM you can never complain about something for free ( well some free things are never wanted... i will not allude to those things...lol )

However, my first order qualified me for a free grab bag and free mystery box, and i wasn't about to pass those up. I understand completely! That's what I did as well. I picked all the stuff I wanted for my dream Empress, and qualified for initiate and grab bag. I do like games of chance =D but I'll probably end up a bit disappointed because of what I stated earlier. Except if I have as much luck as some forumers did =DTitle: Re: Mystery Box Review Post by: dogdoctor on July 04, 2020, 05:22:40 PM Honestly...I like the Liberator v3! I do. I can't wait to see what we get (ordered 2) and what colors we get. But tomorrow marks the start of week 7.... grrr...

Since it's your first saber you probably haven't delved into customization but there are a tons of ways you can make your saber look cooler and really stand out. Weathering, leather wraps, o-rings, those are all just a few examples that many have gone with. Browse around the "Customization" subforum and be inspired, you could end up with a saber much more to your liking.

There are too many hilt designs I find meh or dislike... People do it because they like gambling. We are all hoping to get that super valuable Diamond saber or something.... :)Glad to hear you like the blade and the color though =) Title: Re: Mystery Box Review Post by: Maestro Jones on July 05, 2020, 02:07:58 AM The Liberator is a bit on the plain side, but look at it like a blank canvas.

The first one I wrapped in a woodgrain vinyl with some gold and green vinyl accents. The second I redid by hydro dipping to give it a burled wood effect. A personally like the "plain" hilt because you can make it your own.

Hey welcome to the forum sorry to hear your 1st saber was a bit disappointing for you but that's the kind of risk you to with grab bag or mystery box sabers I hope you are able to get some enjoyment out of it at least Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk Title: Re: Re: Mystery Box Review Post by: Drifter on July 05, 2020, 02:51:09 PM You mean like this...

I have obtained many mystery box ones; some great some low end. I personally enjoy them all. In the end, one gets what one pays for and some times you get extra. :)
