Congratulations to everyone who's won a saber! I'm so jealous of the people that won the Monarch, mostly because I wanted the Monarch the most, besides the grand prize, obviously.  I'm especially jealous of Byourel for winning the staff.  :'(  I envy you so much right now. But hey, at least I won a Dominix! I can't wait to receive it.  :D  Thank you again, Ultrasabers for putting on this fantastic raffle!

omg I'm stoked to win anything at all, especially since the order that allowed me to enter the raffle was my first UltraSaber order ever. Congrats to the Grand Prize winner, to everyone else who won a new saber, and especially thanks to UltraSabers for rocking so hard.

Sweet, I also won a Dominix. Pretty Sith-y of a saber, but I'm sure I can learn to tame or subdue the darkness coming from it.  :D

Congrats to everyone else that won. And a major congrats to Byourel. I was hoping to win the grand prize for a wedding gift. Now I'll have to get her something else.

Post by: Kaiden Shardsbane on August 23, 2012, 12:41:20 PM
Cool!  I got a Phantasm V2!!

Of course, this means I'm gonna have to get REALLY creative with it, considering I've already got a Phantasm and a Phantom.

So, when you've got six models of the same saber... It's time for heavy customization.

No I didn't get one either.  I'm sure that'll come later, if they need a shipping address or something.

In a million years, I never expected to win the grand prize! I am so incredibly happy and it has already caused a lot of jealousy amongst my best friends! I am very fortunate, unbelievably fortunate, to win such an amazing prize, and I will not take it for granted for a second! Thank you so much! I'm so excited!

Let's say instead that the "Holy poop on a stick I won an Ultrasaber Deep and Ultra are awesome now I'm a Jedi/Sith" factor might overwhelm some winners to the point that they forget.

Congratulations to all of the winners! I unfortunately did not have the money to participate in this raffle, but I will most definitely enter the next one! I actually have a question for the guys at Ultrasabers. There were 24 prizes (WHICH IS AWESOME!) but how many people actually entered into the raffle? (What was the percentage of winning?)


Title: Re: Celebration VI Raffle Winners

I got 4th prize!!!  Nice to get something, I love free stuff!  I even have the added excitement where I get to be surprised by what color my V3 SI will be.  I'll post a vid and pics when I get it along with my new Shock LE that won me the prize.

To answer some questions above, I purchased 5 tickets between 3 of my friends.

Me: 2 Dark Shock Sabers for staff
Friend 1: Raven
Friend 2: Dark Shock

For the Grand Prize, we are agreeing to go 3 musketeer on it - 2 of us split the prize, while we all chip in to get the third person a saber of his choice.

Grand Prize - I am looking at a monarch while my friend is looking at the dark arbiter, but time will tell!

that is a great way to do the prize, points for doing it in such a fair manner


Title: Re: Celebration VI Raffle Winners
Post by: Manroon on August 23, 2012, 08:57:01 PM
Points indeed, well and fair played. I'm glad the Grand Prize is going to provide such great reward for not just one, but THREE lucky sonsofasith! Knowing that may just actually be cooler than if I'd won it myself, but then I'm biased cause I still won a staff and am cloud 9.4 from that experience. AND I just received the shipping notice.  ;D

WoW!  Congratulations to all the winners of the Celebration VI Raffle!  I am Uber Xcited right now, I placed 2nd place and won the Dominix BR w/ sound. 
I won it on me and my wife's first two metal hilts, the Archon and Monarch, both of which were chosen without sound.
Therefore, this win will be my first saber with sound and I am thrilled.  Ultra and Deep, thank you very much for hosting this raffle.
And aside from the occasional scratch off where i get my $1.00 back, (which ofcourse i forget to actually cash in and therefore still do not win) havent WON a raffle of any sorts until now  This is just crazy! 

Byourel, I have to say that your plan with the Grand Prize is an amazing idea.  It truly makes this occasion even sweeter, as I know alot of individuals were aiming at that prize.  So in a sense, 3 people have won the top prize!!!   

So yeah, I woke up this morning, used the rest room, and was like "I wonder if they posted anything about the raffle yet".  Then came a moment that sent chills down my back as I saw my name after scrolling down the screen =]  Thank you again UltraSabers, and Congratulations to everyone who got a new saber!!

Congrats to everyone that won!  My wife was excited as she called dibbs on the Monarch if we got a first place drawing.  This was an awesome raffle with fantastic prizes.  I hope the grand prize winner is enjoying the awesomeness of that double bladed saber.

Post by: Zren Tobas on August 23, 2012, 11:22:50 PM
Wish I coulda done an order in this time frame. :P Oh well. maybe the next raffle will be easy like, taking cool pictures with your Ultra Saber. Or even videos. Like, just showing off why you love Ultra Sabers and such. Just a thought. =]

Post by: Manroon on August 23, 2012, 11:25:53 PM
That sounds suspiciously like the last Facebook raffle. lol

(twice as excited now, my sabers are scheduled to arrive on Monday! I wonder if I can skate home with a Double Blade in one hand and a single in the other and not get pulled over by a cop.... :D )

Manny, you are very very lucky to have such a short shipping distance between you and Ultra.

Also, I just received shipping notification for my prize!  It'll be here a few days after my Dark Malicious Arbiter.


Title: Re: Celebration VI Raffle Winners
Post by: Manroon on August 24, 2012, 12:21:32 AM
Yeah, I know. I get my sabers in less than a week every time. They pretty much always ship on the second or third day, and they take about 4 days (barring weekends) to get here. So I usually get them in 6 days. :)


Title: Re: Celebration VI Raffle Winners
Post by: Kaiden Shardsbane on August 24, 2012, 12:31:03 AM
Mine take 7 days to ship to me once they leave Ultra, so I pretty much always get a weekend that I have to wait through.

I am Byourel's friend 1! I'm actually his best friend! Star Wars actually started our friendship a little more than 7 years ago! But that's a story for another time, so anyway I decided on getting The Dark Arbiter with a Dark Violet Amethyst LED with flash on clash silver and a blue illuminated AV switch! We ordered my Raven at the beginning of the raffle time period because I didn't have enough cash at that time (I am indeed paying him back) as well as a couple other items combined between the three of us. It was my Raven that got the winning ticket! So, to make it fair, we worked it out that all three of us get a new saber and we are all super excited! Byourel called me this afternoon and said to me "WE WON THE GRAND PRIZE!!! NOT shellTING YOU!!!!" We both proceeded to scream like little school girls!Thank you UltraSabers! You guys are the best!

I just received my Monarch(Guardian Blue) first prize today from UPS and absolutely love it! Great saber and it's in the nickel finish too! Wow! Beautiful! Just out of curiosity to anyone else who happened to win this one as well, do any of you know what type of blade this is? Since it has a silver tint to it I know it's not an Ultraedge. I have a feeling it might be the heavy grade blade and not the regular grade one. Am I correct in saying this? Thanks to anyone who can tell me. Great saber! Huge thanks to Ultrasabers!!!!! Love your products!!!! I'm a customer for life as I have loved everything I've ever ordered from them.


Title: Re: Celebration VI Raffle Winners
Post by: Manroon on August 30, 2012, 05:56:12 PM
If you can remove the blade and take a picture of the open end of it, we can tell you. :) I think you might have gotten a Heavy Grade.... I won a Phantasm V2 and it came with Heavy Grade blades.

Thanks for the tip Manroon. I'll take the blade out and check it out when I get home. I know the heavy grades are thicker so I'll be able to tell right away from seeing that. Congrats on your win as well! :D


Title: Re: Celebration VI Raffle Winners
Post by: Kaiden Shardsbane on August 30, 2012, 06:35:58 PM
Mine came with UEHG blades.  Heh heh heh... I think they're looking through my previous orders, since the last Phantasm I ordered, I bought with EUHG blades.

Also, there have been several changes to the Aeon/Phantasm design since I bought my first ones a year and a half ago...

UEHG blades are a different shade of white... more silvery and translucent.

Two retention screws per emitter, instead of one.  The old Aeons have an accent hole above the screw, and the new ones have a second screw there instead.

The coupler is marked with XXXXX shapes, instead of ///// ones.


Title: Re: Celebration VI Raffle Winners
Post by: Manroon on August 30, 2012, 07:43:36 PM
I noticed that too! Mine came with UEHG blades, and these look WAY better than my old UEHG from my first purchase over a year ago. They are MUCH brighter, and not as washed out or pastel in hue as the other. I also noticed the double retention screws, which I LOVE! My Dominix V2 has the accent hole, which is cool, but ever since I got the Bellicose I wished they would do more double retentioned sabers. :)


Title: Re: Celebration VI Raffle Winners
Post by: JdiKnhtJMH on August 31, 2012, 12:53:58 AM
Mine also came with a heavy grade blade, I wasnt used to the weight at all, figure I can use this thing for training, that should help me a lot. It also came in AB which was a great surprise as I was expecting just a normal easy stock color. Leave it to US to go that extra mile even with a free saber!
