Title: Just ordered 3 mystery boxes. How good are my chances?
Post by: broba_fett on January 14, 2019, 11:56:04 PM
So I decided to get myself a nice birthday present and got 3 $75 mystery boxes! What are the odds I cash in big with one of them? Lol

Best of luck broba! :)

Wait - tell me you added the extra $25 to your cart, and got another raffle entry...

Odds are 100% you'll get an Ultrasaber worth at least as much as the box. Most of the lower priced ones are about $90-$95 or so, not including any extras people elected to purchase. (HG blade upgrade, etc) The odds that you're going to get a high end hilt and/or something with sound or even Emerald can't be calculated. I've seen people order exactly one Mystery Box and score big, and I've seen others order multiple Mystery Boxes and get all lower tier beater stunts. (which are still awesome sabers)

So, good luck, I hope you get something that lives up to your hopes, but either way you'll get a great saber that's worth at least what you paid. :)

No raffle on this one! I thought about it but I didn’t wanna spend extra 25 just for a 2nd raffle chance. Got my graflex CE diamond coming next week and that’s already my dream saber!

Well sweet. :)

I might not have had that level of control...lol

Best of luck with your entry anyway, and here's hoping you score on those MB's. ;)

This is true. Last mystery box I got I was surprised how much I liked it even though it had no sound. I buy the mystery boxes for the thrill and also to build a small sparring arsenal for me and my friends since the mystery boxes I get all have heavy ultra grade blades.

they're right. You will probably get something nice. I suggest you plan on getting 3 sweet stunts. Set your sights on that. If it turns out that way, hey,  you got exactly what you wanted. If you nail something big....😆😆😆 this way, you win either way!

Congrats broba. :)

What everyone said, the odds of you getting anything from a low end stunt to a high ended Emerald or Diamond isn't calculated since I've seen those getting high ended sabers. I myself only had stunts but it's the luck of the draw.  MTFBWY

Omg that's amazing! Congrats on the Spectre!!! I've not seen one of those from a mystery box, the Force was with you ;).

For sure! How do I post pics?


Title: Re: Just ordered 3 mystery boxes. How good are my chances?

First the pic(s) need to be hosted on a third party site (I use Imgur myself).

Then select the image, right click on it, and "copy link address".  Paste that between the [ img ] *PIC* [ /img ] (no spaces) things, and post away. :)

Facebook images MIGHT work.  I'm not sure... Google does not.

If you click on "quote", you can see what I did, if that helps. ;)

That's a pretty nice pull from a mystery box!

We usually use imgur now days, there's a forum specific link there. Someone made a thread on how to use that so. Especially if you got a good camera and good costumes you wanna show off too. Now time to build a Sith costue surrounding your Spectre :P That's what I usually do anyway, build a costume surrounding a specific saber design but I kept my Sith costume traditional. I need to show mine more often

Nice score there, Broba.  The Spectre with premium sound from an MB pull is awesome!

Awesome saber...congrats on that one.  All of them are nice, but the specter with premium sound is a super bonus :)

Ok got it to work now!

First msg. Hello!
Is it possible to buy a coupler and make a staff out of the archon v3.1 and the specter?
It's totally a plan if it works.
