4. That's it.  You are in and eligible to win one of the 40 prizes (whoa whoa whoa... 40?  Yes, FORTY!!!  this is not a typo people this is real, giving away FORTY free sabers).  Only one ticket per order.  No limit on the number of tickets per customer.



Emerald Prize [one winner]: Any two single color Ultrasabers with Obsidian Sound equipped with 4-Channel Emerald Drivers of YOUR CHOICE and a vented coupler to create the ULTIMATE EMERALD Double Bladed saber

Winners will be announced on www.saberforum.com (http://www.saberforum.com) on January 5th and also via email.

GUYS!  These are some AWESOME prizes.  And look at the number of chances you have to win, 40 winners and over only a ten day raffle period!!!  Emerald Sabers! Sabers with Sound!  So many higher end prizes this time! UNRELEASED EXCLUSIVES (yep we still have more)!!!  NEW MANTIS SABERS!!!  CHOSEN ONES!  SCORPIONS!  GUARDIANS!  GRAFLEXES!  REAPERS!  OMENS!  AND MORE all being given away this raffle.  And the chances to win are much higher than ever before.  Ask the last raffle winners how GREAT it feels to get that free saber in the mail!  Don't miss out this time around.

Sorely tempted to blow my other plans and buy a Malice - the saber that got me into Ultrasabers in the first place but I've yet to buy it!

Could even stick in a Sentinel Yellow Dark Prophecy too for an awesome yellow-green staff!

My dark side sense is tingling.

I'm certainly hoping the Force and some luck will be with me again.  This Winter Raffle is just what I was waiting for.  I just put in my order for an Emerald Archon with the RGBA four channel LED driver.  This will be my second Ultra Sabers raffle, and I'm hoping to win another prize like I did in the Autumn Raffle a month ago.  Good luck also to all the other entrants!

So I placed a 250+ order yesterday and signed up for the raffle but wasn't aware that I had to be a forum member. I just joined today and am posting here. Am I still eligible to receive the prizes?

You will need to email US at [email protected] and tell them the exact thing you mentioned here and ask them to add your forum name to your order and have them confirm your eligibility. That should fix you up nicely.

I was told to start here for first posting. I bought the chosen one CE and it is nice but my son dropped it on the floor and one of the black plastic handle slates (part of the grip) came off and is chipped so I need a new piece but I will have to post in the proper forum.

I ordered a second initiate v4 LE and a coupler to enter. I'm going to have a v4 initiate staff in Fire Orange. Should look SIIIIICK!

I got a Dark Initiate LEv4 on my last order.
I absolutely love it. The half choke just below the windowed emitter is really nice, and the extra inch to accommodate for the sound board helps those with bigger hands go two handed when desired.
I am thinking about setting up a staff in Violet Amethyst with sound myself.

I could not resist the power of the Dork Side!!!! AHHHHHHHHH (crackle crackle spark)
Placed 2 orders one for a v4 phantasm and some saber parts (extra blades and a charger)
And a second for the Dark Omen. I am putting together a Cosplay that will revolve around this saber and am very excited!

Now with a little luck . . . . . . . . 3-PO what are the odds . . . . . . .

Hi I have a question about entering the raffle. I have never been able to enter one before so was wondering for the purchase of $250 does that count shipping or must the $250 be before shipping?


Title: Re: Ultrasabers Winter Raffle ends 01/04/2015
Post by: firehand10k on December 29, 2014, 10:45:42 PM
That is before shipping. Just the US product total.

Many new pics of this Dark Omen need to be posted Kaza. AND one of your good video reviews as well!

To my knowledge there has at most been a very small handful of forumites who have revealed even owning one of these. So your Omen would be a rare and welcome sight on these forum pages  :D

Congrats on some exciting orders and good luck.

I just entered with a Consular very basic setup in CG of course. Got some decent plans with this saber too.

Despite having bought four sabers since just after Halloween, my girlfriend was itching to get in on the raffle so tomorrow my Prophecy v3 and her Dominix LE v4 will be getting here.
Needless to say we love our sabers and I can see us possibly buying more in in the distant future. Going to try my hand at upgrading our stunt sabers first though...
Maybe around the time of the Spring Raffle...

be careful headwounds, I got the US bug so bad, when these orders arrive I will now own 17 sabers and my first order was in late July. And they are worth every penny! The US bug is something I never want cured! MUAHAHAHAHAH! The bad thing is I am buying them faster than they come out with new ones! Thank goodness I have a saber club so they all get played with regularly!

Thank you hazard502, and you can bet I will! Growing up with the thundercats being one of my favorite cartoons I am so excited to be doing this! I am going to work on a Lion O and Sith lord crossover costume, i will be known as Darth Undera. MUAHAHAHAHAHA.....Snarf ....

Now I've gone and done it too. Got a Monarch in blazing red, and an Azure Omen in arctic blue on the way for me. And I have a Dark Apprentice v4 in fire orange and an Initiate V4 in consular green coming for a couple of my models. All stunts for now but I might upgrade mine later.

Now I must go meditate on the raffle.

I fear this will become an addiction! Just 20 days ago, I bought a Dark Sentinel LE v4 and have been absolutely ecstatic with it. With this Raffle, I am going to get sabers as gifts to share my new found passion. (I have changed my Emerald blade to red to help Force the odds to my favor)

Just a heads up - I received a reply email(after I sent one) from US today saying they are out of office from Jan 1-4 and back in office Jan 5th.

For the mental sanity of us all I thought I would pass this on   ;D

I have no idea if this will affect the raffle draw.  But if this is their holiday time or something it would make sense that results could(?) come Monday.

Would really like to enter the raffle, Just need to decide how much I'd like to spend. I'd love to get and Emerald saber with sound. Just don't know the hilt I want or if I wanna spend $300+... Also, does anyone have a general idea how many entries there are? Has anyone else bought an emerald saber, then later regretted it in exchange for the RGB or Adegan Silver? Just because it the emerald driver is so expensive...


Title: Re: Ultrasabers Winter Raffle ends 01/04/2015
Post by: firehand10k on January 03, 2015, 11:09:37 PM
I can't think of any reason to get buyers remorse over emerald vs rgb. The emerald option for a war glave with the foc and recharge port and all only comes ten dollars more. I make so much mor verisitility though. Leaving the foc of of the rgb saber would make the difference $45 but I included it for comparison because emerald includes it. For me $10 for thousands of colors instead of 7 and the blade pulse is way worth it.

No idea how many entries there are but I like the odds anyway. 40 prizes is worth a shot.

Post by: James Casey on January 03, 2015, 11:53:50 PM
Odds will vary with each raffle. If I had to guess, I'd say there'd be fewer entries this time with so many people having spent their money over Christmas... But at the same time, there's enough of us with steady incomes that we can dip into our savings any time of year.

Simply put, you have to be in it to win it ;) I do think Kaza deserves to win something just for buying an Omen, though.


Title: Re: Ultrasabers Winter Raffle ends 01/04/2015
Post by: firehand10k on January 04, 2015, 12:23:34 AM
I got an Omen too.
I've been to Kaza's training sessions he does deserve something good.

Post by: James Casey on January 04, 2015, 12:42:31 AM
Oh really? Must have missed that - you deserve a prize too!

I think there've been about two reviews/gallery topics on Omens since they were introduced. Please make sure to review them in detail when you get them!


Title: Re: Ultrasabers Winter Raffle ends 01/04/2015
Post by: firehand10k on January 04, 2015, 01:08:14 AM
The Omen is what I've wanted most since I found US. I'm really hoping it lives up to the expectations I've built for it in my mind. It should they are based on the images on site and the other ultrasabers I have on hand. I have from Jan 7 to Feb 25 off from school so the orders I placed as well as anything I may have the luck of winning will be thoroughly reviewed. Probably even review the initial and apprentice v4s I ordered before shipping them off to the models that are going to use them.

Just placed an order for a soundless Emerald Aeon LE V4. Cannot wait for it to arrive. Would have liked to include sound, but am not made of money right now. I'd just love to win even the lowest prize for the raffle.

Ahh. I was curious as to why my saber hadn't shipped. I had figured it was because the holidays. Just waiting for my v4 to come in so I can have my v4 le initiate staff in. I can't wait. I'm also curious to see if I win in this raffle. I entered the fall one but didn't get anything. Hoping for something this time. :D

Placed my order today for a double phantom duel red bladed saber!

unfortunately I forgot to put my name in my comments section.  I emailed about it.  Hopefully I'll still get to enter  :S


Title: Re: Ultrasabers Winter Raffle ends 01/04/2015
Post by: James Casey on January 04, 2015, 11:52:28 PM
Placed my order just now. Checked and double checked, pretty sure I remembered my ticket and my name in the comments :D

I say this every time, but I'm fairly sure this'll be my last order for a while - I've pretty much burnt through my personal savings, so it'll take me time to save up for another one, if nothing else! I've gone for a Catalyst to match/offset my Dark Catalyst. I was spinning that the other day, and it seems like dual wielding a light/dark pair should be pretty cool - and, in time, I'll buy the pieces I need to make my Watchman 'sabre, so it's almost 2 'sabres for the price of... Well, one and a half, maybe.

It occurs to me, actually, that they'd also make a cool staff... Hmm, decisions, decisions...

Good luck to everyone who's entered!

Best of luck to all who have entered and congratulations in advance.  Remember... photos or it didn't happen!
