I am new to the site and buying from Ultra Sabers. I have one HUGE suggestion. I've seen a lot of comments on the mystery box deals, many that were amazed by the awesome sabers they get, many by the duplicates, etc.
I would suggest to US for those of us who place multiple orders in less than a few months, it might be a good idea to check what was sent out with previous orders. Not that placing multiple orders warrants getting a $900 saber for $200 or $75, but when someone places 3 orders (at different times, so the history could be reviewed), it's EXTREMELY disappointing to get the same blade color. It feels like a total waste of money. Many of us buy the MB deals because we don't have the money do buy the best, customized sabers you offer and it really sucks to spend that money and then basically have 2 or 3 very similar sabers (or more, in some cases). I know this is a business and as such, the buyer may not really matter, but I've always found SW communities to be more thoughtful.
I just got another order of two MB deals in to find that one of mine has the same color blade as an order I just received less than a month prior. Total downer. Oh well, just one guy's suggestion.
they are mystery boxes for a reason. these are packed up before any orders come in for them, those people have nothing else to do with it other than wrap them up. other people grab the next mystery saber and pack for the order. hence "mystery box"

You mean the "bunny ears" that really serve no purpose, they just didn't take of the spring clamps from the original prop?

I think they mean the S curve "shroud" part that the bunny ears pass through.

After looking closer at it, I wouldn't call either part "S-curved". However, I do agree the more emitter shrouds would be cool.

I agree with you (on both counts), but it seems people refer to the cut shape as an "S".

I'd like a variation on the Aeon design, where there is a thin carbon-fiber core with the outer metal sheath providing contrasting color. Maybe the inner core could be offered in multiple colors, and the outer sheath in silver or black... The sheath could be far thinner than the normal aluminum walls of the V4s, so the internal diameter can be the same, or maybe tailored more to be a true chassis for the batteries and electronics...
