Woohoo!

I'm looking forward to this :)

EDIT: Guardian on deal of the day as well. Nice...

what lovely timing! I had just realised the other day that I have the money to buy my next sabers  ;D

Totally ordered. I'm VERY stoked for this.

Perfect, I actually have money this time, thanks to my tax return. Now to decide what I want.....

I’m hyped to take part in this raffle. I’ve been going for the sales and offers with my recent orders, but this time I’m jumping on board!

My order:

Guardian with sound
- Guardian Blue (Guardian², it just seems like the right colour for this hilt)
- Bane’s Heart flash on clash (eerock, I think, has this combo, and it looks amazing)
- Obsidian sound (Of course)
- Non-illuminated AV switch (I went back and forth on this, but the red decorative button is the power switch in my mind – this switch will be low-profile and unobtrusive)
- Heavy-grade blade (Standard length. No doubt I’ll lop a few inches off, but it gives me options)
- Nickel plating (Because it (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=17234.0) looks (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=18289.0) amazing (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=18434.0))
- Blade plug

Here’s hoping for some great pics and videos from the winners and everyone else who orders over the next ten days! Good luck to everyone who enters!

(And remember, if you’re entering, don’t forget your code and don't forget to put your forum name in the comments box!)

Sounds like a solid choice! Good luck!

Time to enter my FIRST RAFFLE!!!!

I just placed my first order and totally forgot to enter the raffle code  :'( I feel so lame. I wonder if it is like completely too late to get in? Anyone have any info on this?

Couple of guys from the last raffle accidently forgot either the code or their forum name.  Just email US about it and they should be able to hook you up :)

I'd really like to get in on this one as I missed the last raffle, I own so many of the hilts now I'm running low on options.  I really want to get an emerald saber and I think I want it to be the Raven.  If it happens to make DotD it may just sway my decision.

James I'm so jealous of you, the Guardian is on my short short list and even though i could not get in on the last raffle, I'm still not able to take part in this one either. :'( either way good luck you and everyone else! Can't wait to see some pictures of new sabers everyone orders. ;D

Damn it... bit the bullet just because of the Raffle... Credit card is going to hate me. lol

Hmmm, ends the day before my next birthday... $250 gets you in... I'm foreseeing a saber in my birthday wishes this year...

Anyone know if you can use a Paypal for some and then cover the rest with a CC?

Not to my knowledge. I don't even get PayPal as an option, for some reason.

On the shopping cart screen below where you login or click Proceed to Checkout there is a button there for Checkout with Paypal, click that button to pay with paypal.

*Smacks head*

That's a button... I was looking for it as an option on the dropdown menu when I selected my card.

No biggie, I'll just have to remember for next time. Thanks!

Don't know but I decided to use this as my excuse to get a stunt archon in VA w/ a recharge port and an MHS compatible Guardian pommel on the side:). Mwahahaha:).
@ James really glad I didn't notice the dotd until after I made the purchase I can't afford another fully decked out saber right now:). But I do love my Guardian with VA foc:).

so stoked! i have been reading up on these sabers for a while and finally bought the aeon Le v3 with sound for my 21st birthday on the 4th and by coincidence was able to get entered in my FIRST RAFFLE with Ultra sabers! sooo cool

Good luck Darrow! I won a first place saber in my first raffle, so its possible... ;)

I was hoping to say this first but 97 beat me to it, good luck.

Ok so Ultra/ Deep - I have a silly question.

Im seriously considering entering this raffle. This sounds ridiculous but it's been a while since I've been really active on Saberforum, so I am wondering if inactivity on the forum decreases the odds of winning? Im not trying to start anything here, I just want to verify.


Thanks in advance!

P.S. - You guys are wizards with this whole raffle thing!  8)

Well, I can't answer for them but I've always just imagined they use a bag and bits of paper, or a random number generator or something. I was only here a month or so when I won in my first raffle, and to pick an example, the grand prize winners last time have 41 posts between them (presumably a fair few of which were them going ape about winning :D).

Of course, if you want to be safe then get to posting - we like having lots of regulars around!

Why would it have anything to do with posts?
I'm a fan of a large piece of paper with names on and throw something like a dart, or ninja star. :D

I picture more a "Names into a pinata, then we beat it with lightsabers until it breaks open and we pick one out of the pile at random" sorta thing... at least that's how it happens in my world.

Names on paper, use paper with names on to make piñata...

Can't believe I have to wait another 7 days to find out who wins. Does everyone get this pumped at their first raffle?

Also, getting that guardian will be pretty sweet too.

It's ok we'll just commiserate together for the next seven days, about all of it.
Now commiserating: why is it that when you are waiting for that one email you get absolutely none?
Obi-Wan to Me; "Patience, use the Force, think."

When an email does come... Obi-wan: "This isn't the email you're looking for..."

Congrats on that Raven, looking forward to pics pf that!

Thats terrible:).

Honestly hilarious ;D

Oh Dammit! . .  I wanted to order a 'Dark Arbiter' as my Raffle entry, but they are still out of stock!  :(

Hmm?! what to choose then?! . . . Emerald of course but which one???  :-\

Any thoughts guys?

You can never go wrong with a Guardian or the Manticore and one of the new couplers that adjust!

Wait? WHAT?!  :o
When did we get adjustable couplers?! *looks through the parts and accessories section* OOOoooohhh! Cool!

lol, now I've got something else to think about too!  :P

My birthday is on the 3rd. Time to get me a fully loaded scorpion.  Happy Birthday to me, thanks US

I really hope that is the coupler in the top two prizes:).

It would be cool if they included the adjustable ones in the top raffle prizes.

Thanks Prowl. I've been too busy playing/staring at it to post pics. xD I'll do some soon. :)

If you did win, I'm sure you could ask for an adujustable coupler. :P

I hope so:).

Good luck to all on the raffle! ;D

Question: Are they going to release a non vented adjustable coupler?

Idk

Adjustable couplers?!  

*goes to investigate*

*EDIT, I like 'em.  I like being able to get my switches to line up, hope they make non-vented ones.

Just ordered my new reaper sound and I am totally stoked for the saber and the contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice it's on my wish list but this time I got an archon:). It's Eerockk's fault;).

Got my order in for my nickle plated Monarch...thsnks to all who answered my nube question about where the "comments" window is on an order.  And thanks Emory for confirming for me my raffle entry.  Is there any way to know how many people get entered?  I'm so juiced for this (my 1st raffle) I wanted to calculate my odds!!!

We'll probably get an idea when the results are published as they've tended to have the order numbers along with the names.

It's seemed a bit quieter than usual on here given there's a raffle on. It might be my imagination, or there have been fewer orders placed, or just fewer people posting their orders.

I think a bit of both James.

Alright I did it again.... my second raffle. The second winter raffle. And I ordered a belacose I'm pyrestone orange with silver foc and silver av switch, a grab bag and a couple extras

so, two shocks and a coupler are finally on order  8) bring on the silver saber staff!

That is a staff I want to see pics of! Good luck with the raffle! :)

Sorry brother... :)

And CONGRATS!

I am making a purchase right now. I applied the coupon code, but there is no indication that the code was applied. Do I just cross my fingers and hope that my entry was received?

*edit* By right now, I mean I am hovering over the proceed to checkout button after applying the coupon code and am ready to drop $350 on a sweet Manticore!


*edit2* Oh I see the winterraffle2 code now in small print at the bottom!  *Cross fingers* Hope I win, I'm only jumping on this early because my sons Bday is coming up. So I'm getting his Manticore now. I really should wait until the first of April, so I can order both of our sabers at the same time. But if I can get a decent saber to go with his Manticore, that would be good! Then I can wait a bit longer on mine so I can kit that bad boy up with EVERYTHING!

You did it!

Good luck! ;D

If you're thinking of getting two, why not enter twice and double your chances of winning? ;)

But congrats to your boy on his new 'sabre - does he know it's coming?

Just placed an order for an empty Guardian hilt and paid for custom work to be to my Archon and Dominix.

Interesting. Is the hilt just for display, or will you be putting your own internals together?

I gutted a Nickel Plated Monarch that I won a couple of years ago and that had Obsidian in it. I'm planning on adding the internals to the Guardian.

Cause I don't have the money yet. Got to wait until my next paycheck hits on the 16th to get the second one. :( And I'm going a little crazy, not getting bare bones. At the very least the sabers must have the soundboard. Otherwise I could afford both at the same time. But what my son really liked about the Force FX's was waving them around and going "Woooooshh" in time with the sound from the saber.

I could cheap out and get two force fx's. But then I'll never have a chance again at buying Ultra sabers. Because once we have force fx's, my wife won't be on board with buying MORE and PRICIER sabers. Regardless of quality.

Hell, my wife wasn't on board with buying my Archon with gift cards I got for Christmas! And, she's not on board with me buying 2 initiates (regular and dark), a grab bag, a war glaive emitter, and a covertec clip to enter this raffle, but I'm going to anyways!!!!!!  8)
What she doesn't know is, I'm giving her whatever grab bag I get, because I can't afford the azure omen with a manticore emitter and obsidian that she REALLY wants.  :-[

I managed to participate with my first saber ever. Ordered a blazing red manticore with obsidian sounds! Can't wait to get my manticore and hear if i get another saber too ;) I feel my addiction to these sabers growing ;)

At least your wife wants her own. My wife has 0 interest.

And my girlfriend gets mad because i spend a horrible amount of money to something "this stupid"... Some girls never understand the beauty of lightsabers

You are in for a treat, my friend. Once the craving starts, it consumes you.

That's kinda what i fear ;) Once i get started, there is no stopping me ;)

Her mind is clouded by the dark side.

Congrats on the Manticore!  Can't wait to see pics of it!  And yes your obsession is just beginning, your GF is not going to be happy. :P

I second what Prowl said!  Would love to see pics of your Shocks when u get them!  I won a Shock LE in the first winter raffle and I love it, can't wait to see yours.  It'll be the first Shock staff that I've seen.

Second raffle in a row?  Good luck Relan!  Good choice there too, excited to see pics of your bellicose and grab bag :)

I was in a hurry earlier and missed your second question.

No he does not know. He is only two so even if I tell him, he will most likely forget by April 16th. And yes.. I am spending a ton of money on a lightsaber for a two year old. He was just so enamored with my friends force fx's that I decided he needed a saber that will last the rest of his childhood and was HIS. Not Vader's.. Not Luke's, but his. :-)

I was gonna get two shock LEs, but I wasn't completely sold on the gold anodising. And now I have plans for modding them slightly anyway so I figure two straight shocks will do!  ;D they are just stunts as I cannot afford two obsidians, and assuming I still want to later, I have plans to get two manticore emitters for them coz I think that will look damn awesome.... but plain and simply I couldn't afford that this time round :P by the time you add freight to aus and the exchange rate, it makes them quite exxy  :-\  :'(

and don't worry- pictures will come, I promise :D

I definitely need to see those with the Manticore emitters. I've been thinking of doing a saberstaff for a while with some Shocks.

That almost sounds like a Darth Maul saber staff. This combination was discussed several times, and in every discussion I read about that at least two times :D

I'll tell you something about the shock le.... its beautifull... and the gold is really More like a brass and looks even better when you add the actavation box

So I changed  it up a bit. Decided to order an Initiate v3 LE in VA, mid grade initiate blade, li-ion setup for  my oldest daughter, who leans towards the light side. For my younger one, who has already fallen to the dark side at age 5(!), I ordered a Dark Initiate v3 LE  in BR, mid grade initiate blade, li-ion setup. I also ordered a grab bag just to put me over the $250 mark (or so I tell myself). I wish everyone luck in the raffle!!!

Ok, so slap me upside the head, but I did it, I'm in.  So shouldn't be but can't pass up the raffle.
New orders: Dark Shock Emitter, Flush silver vented coupler, VA MLS (all to add to my archon).;and 3 heavy 36" point tip blades for actual sparing vs. the 32s I have for in the house practice.

May the Force be with all entrants!

Picked up the Azure Omen with sound as my sons Bday present...and I'm in the raffle!!! Good luck everyone!  ;D

good luck to you too

Well!  . . I did it. I ordered an Archon as my entry to the Winter raffle!  :)

I nearly wasn't going too enter as on Tuesday afternoon (my time) I got home from work, and went to order my saber, and . . 4 channel emeralds were out of stock!

I almost cried *sobs* :'(

BUT! I've noticed that they have now been put on backorder! (YAAAAY!) Now I don't mind waiting a little bit longer for the saber I want?! And that also ensures that I'm in my 1st raffle!

 ;D

Now come the waiting part  . .  :P

good purchase,  he will be completely stoked!

Some amazing-sounding orders being placed :) Really looking forward to seeing all the pics from you guys. Good luck to you all!

Well considering a local entertainment expo is coming up here soon where I live, I needed some new blades for my dual-wield BR Guardians, but saw the raffle and figured I would get a new Ultrasaber as well with my blades to enter the raffle with! So here's what I'm getting:

Bellicose Hilt:
- Guardian Blue
- Obsidian Sound with Blue Illuminated AV switch
- Arctic Blue FoC
- Ultraedge Blade
- Silver Blade Holder
- Chrome Button
- Short Grooved Pommel

And as I have with my previous 2 sabers I bought and won raffle prizes with back in 2013, I'll upload a YT video showing off my new Bellicose and a raffle saber if I win one! Good luck to all and I eagerly await the raffle draw!

Nice choices everyone! Good luck in the raffle! I'm missing this one, but I'll hopefully catch the next one.


I like the sound of that Bellicose... Nice choice. ;)

Point for the Dual BR Guardians. Not a very common colour scheme. :)

Oooooh, 2 days!!! The anticipation is killing me!

You ain't kiddin!  I feel like a kid on Christmas eve!!  "Does that present box have the cool saber I was wanting?...or just another pair of sox from grandma??"  LOL!!

I see a couple belacose sabers going out for this raffle including mine. I can't wait to get it and my grabbag. Again good luck to all that entered

My brother ordered an archon v2.1 and I got a few accessories we are hoping for one of the top 2 prizes so we each get one if not oh well there are other raffles.

Eugene I apologies that sounds mpnicer then you made it sound earlier have a point.

Best of luck everybody!  Can't wait to see your entry sabers and prizes!

Yeah, I see most people with Guardians have either Guardian Blue (cause duh) or Consular green as the blade color, But I really like the Guardian with Blazing Red as a dark side Sith Blade. They also fit well in my belt that goes with my Dark Lord of the Sith cosplay.

Best of luck to all the folks who entered!

One more day!

"At last we shall have our sabers. At last we shall know the winner."

Good luck everyone! I'll definitely have pics of my emerald guardian to show. Nickel plated, too!

Entered last night with a belicose w/sound (my first sound saber) - heavy grade blade - Consular green LED - Bronze button and quick disconnects.
To say im excited for the saber is an understatement. even if i dont win anything im still stoked to get this saber. Ive been drooling over it for awhile now.

I forgot to mention - this is my first raffle. (fingers crossed)

Congrats optic:).

Last day today. Good luck to everyone. :)

Was hoping to get something ordered before today, but I'm still broke... guess I'll cross my fingers for the spring raffles.

Same here. xD

Does it automatically mean you DIDN'T win right off the bat if you get a shipping email for your raffle entry order 1 day before winners are announced?

I think it just means US can send you any prize fairly cheaply - or maybe they have so many completed 'sabres cluttering up the workshop they've had to ship some to make room to work :D I'm sure you're still in the raffle (you did put your code and forum name in, right?)


Still a few hours to get a last order in. You never know, it could be the lucky ticket! Good luck to those who're already in, and anyone who just makes it - we've all got the same chance :)

(Although as it's my birthday on Saturday, I can't help but hope I might get an early present tomorrow ;))

Same here Casey mine was on the 4th. got my saber but it crapped out after 5 seconds so i sent it back to get fixed. hears to hoping i get a second in the raffle /:- ) >

Oh, too bad :( I'm sure US will get it fixed double quick, though - even more so than making the 'sabres, they don't hang around fixing them if something goes wrong.

Belated happy birthday, anyway!

Heh. Yes I am sure I entered the raffle and the ticket is on my order receipt. I just thought I remembered something in old raffles that said winning rafflers would get their reward with their order, but I went back and don't see that statement this time around. At least I still have hope for another email tomorrow.  ;D

Last time I didn't get my shipping notification till the day of the raffle and shipped the day after

Soon we shall know who will win ^^ Good luck everyone :) I know that with my luck there are 41 participants and i'm the one who won't win :D Well i'm not a bad loser and I can be happy for all of you who will win :) And big thanks to ultrasabers for handing us this opportunity ^^

You never know sometimes they increase the number of sabers they give away like last time. You got to love theese guies at ultrasabers always out doing themselves with awsom sales deals new products and the raffles and the raffles
Oh ya did I mention the amazing raffles.

They did that? I had no idea.

Ok, just to keep the excitement going (not like u need it!) and the "I feel like a school kid!" anticipation, here's what happened to me when my first place prize from the first winter raffle showed up at my door.....

My wife ran out while I was at work and picked up my sabers three days before delivery.  Best wife ever(her words :))  But it's true!

(http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j362/MoniqueWillms/56FEE468-5382-46FC-96E3-F16ADAB18325.jpg) (http://s1082.photobucket.com/user/MoniqueWillms/media/56FEE468-5382-46FC-96E3-F16ADAB18325.jpg.html)

Here is my genuine reaction while opening the package, Archon entry, Shock LE prize.

(http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j362/MoniqueWillms/5021ECA5-6EE7-452B-95DB-E48820433A31.jpg) (http://s1082.photobucket.com/user/MoniqueWillms/media/5021ECA5-6EE7-452B-95DB-E48820433A31.jpg.html)

Is this potentially embarrassing?  Maybe.  But it's that free saber in the mail!  I just lost control people!
And, my kids and I immediately playing with my sabers once freed from their confines!

(http://i1082.photobucket.com/albums/j362/MoniqueWillms/AEEEA9D0-5A4C-44BE-A427-A05533778C3B.jpg) (http://s1082.photobucket.com/user/MoniqueWillms/media/AEEEA9D0-5A4C-44BE-A427-A05533778C3B.jpg.html)

Nothing less than epic!!!!!  Good luck!!!!!

Thank you. *a tear falls from my eye*

I had verry much the same reaction for the last raffle and when I gave my daughter my raffle prize it was purple her favorite

That is beautiful. I can't wait until I can order my saber. I so want to have saber fights in the living room with my son! Until then I'll just use my shinai to saber fight with him once his Manticore arrives. :D

If were throwing out birthdays as motivation...
Mines the 16th...so... Here's to hope lol ;D

Well! It's nearly time?! Good luck to everbody who entered, and "May the force be with you . . " *Crosses fingers*  ;D

You think they'll announce in the wee hours of the morning? We can only hope lol

Well I'm hoping on the emerald or grand prize( but who isn't ) so I can give one of them to my brother as an early birthday gift when I see him at the end of the month for his son's 1st b-day . So I can keep one for myself but as long as I get one with sound I'll probly give it to him anyway
Last time mine came in at like 4am
