I am hoping for a Dominix or Aeon V3 with my next grab bag.

Here's my new grab bag, Aeon V2 LE in SRD!   Was kinda hoping for a V3 hilt, but a pretty good stunt, especially for the 15% off weekend. I love how light it is, and customizations will begin soon, so any ideas would be welcome. (Pm them to me please, as to keep this thread clear) |

In regard to those asking about colors and batteries. The Red and Orange LED's have a forward voltage of 2.4 V so 2 x AAA will give you 3.0 V of power. This is enough to turn the LED's on. The Green, Blue, and White LED's have a forward voltage of 3.4 V so 2 x AAA will not be enough voltage to turn them on. The 4 x AAA battery packs give you 6.0 volts of power so they are needed to power the Blue, Green, and White LED's. If you have a mixture of 2 - 3 LED's for colors like Arctic Blue, Violet Amethyst, or SRD, then you will need to have the power to turn on the LED with the highest forward voltage so these get 4 x AAA batteries as well.

Point for the good explanation, Blue  Also, you'll love this - the grab bag I ordered turned out to be a Standard Issue V3 in Guardian Blue. I'll post a few pics soon. EDIT: Here they are!   And just for good measure, my new SI V3 next to my Redemption (which has the DVA LED module I ordered with the grab bag)  |

I love that standard issue. The silver hilts really look great and the grooves just seem to pop. Of course the blue doesn't hurt either. Thanks a million for suggesting the 32" blade. I feel much more in control and don't feel like I am wielding a staff.

No problem man! It really does help decrease the weight, especially in HG blades. With the midgrades I can wield the 36" pretty easily, but with HG it can get a bit tough... especially for somebody who does the kind of single handed, fencing style handwork that I do. My instinct is to use the fingers and wrist for precise bladework, and that's pretty tough with the full size HG IMO. I'm pretty pleased with this, haven't seen one of these SI V3 hilts in person. I do have to say, it's quite a bit chunkier than the V2 ones, but it's still a really solid hilt to wield. Because of the bigger size, the grooves are a bit deeper too, giving it more character. |

Well Saber Forums, it's done. I couldn't make up my mind so I bought two completely random grab bags (and a Dark Prophecy V3 w/ Obsidian for my friend). I was inspired by what I've seen on this thread. What the Force has in store, I shall soon see...

Yep, pretty sure that's a Dark Libby V3. Definitely a good get!

Got my two grab bags a week or so ago. They were an Aeon LE v2 in blue and a Standard Issue in green. Both have 36 inch mid-grade blades. When I pulled them out of the bag my first impression of the Aeon was, "looks a bit skinny for a guy 6'1"" but I took it out into the front yard and was amazed at how balanced and perfect it feels for spinning and weaving maneuvers. Much lighter than my Dominix LE v3 and handles great.

"looks a bit skinny for a guy 6'1"" For me, the Dark Libby is a tad bit heavy and I should have gotten the lighter blade because after only a few swings, I'm already tired lol. Of course I'm out of shape, short and small so it looks like I will try one more grab bag and then decide what I really want (a saber that is the smallest!)  |
