Ultrasabers Autumn Raffle ends 11/17/2016

[Lord Bladewraith]

Order placed, fingers crossed

Old Bean Kenobi, love that name btw, congrats!  What did ya order?  Please share all the gritty details  

*edit: I saw your other post that you ordered a Fulcrum.  Woohoo!  Nice choice!  Entering the raffle with style!   

[Isola815]

Looking forward  to seeing your new sabers and cosplay together in December!

I'll make sure and put up a thread in the cosplay section with some of the pics from the shoot. The shoot will be one of my female friends modeling for me using my Liberator. My Dark Catalyst MAY get a brief moment in the sun for that shoot. The prophecy is for a shoot I have planned for a later date

Quick question, what time of day do they usually release the raffle results?

They usually e-mail the winners at the same time they post the results, so keep your phone on you if you're travelling

Just don't sit there hitting refresh, refresh, refresh on the forum all day as it clogs the server...

...and I'll be doing it enough for everyone

But seriously, the latest they've done it from memory is about midday Texas time, so odds are we'll know who's won by early afternoon their time on Friday.

(I'm tempted to go back and check the time of previous raffle topics, if only to say "Hey, there's no pattern, relax" if people start getting frantic on Friday morning... )

Well my company switched to a 9/80 schedule last year and it so happens that this is my Off-Friday . . . and every year we take the week of Thanksgiving off to visit my family in MA so it's also the official start of my vacation.

So I'm going to take the Princess to school . . . stop at Wawa for some Coffee & Breakfast . . . then come home for a lazy Friday AM vacation kick-off of watching a horror flick on Shudder (stuff I can no longer watch normally - the pitfalls of having kids!), playing some Galaxy of Heroes. . . . and awaiting the results with Blademaster Sasha!





(She's pumped!  Mostly for a hash brown from Wawa.)


I'm so excited for my new Fulcrum though, I'm not overly stressing the Raffle; I "won" when they put this up for Sale. 


He's probably going to be embarrassed by me saying this . . . nobody is entitled to a Raffle win . . . but I sincerely hope bigBear wins something good.

He mentioned he'd love to win his first saber with sound - and I'd love to see that too.

See, what wasn't lost on me was . . . he could have bought a saber with sound as his entry . . . but instead got 2 stunts . . . one to give one of his friends who's been there for him.

Selfless.  And well done.

Wishing you ALL the luck!

Awesome sentiment.

That would be good to see.

I wish all the entrants the very best of luck though.  

Enjoy your vacay!  
(I like hash browns - and Fulcrums) O_o

-1 for the Sasha pic.

BigBear definitely deserves to have some of that Obsidian sound in his collection, so I'll throw a few extra well wishes in his direction together with the general ones for everyone who's taking part, especially those going for their first win

[bigBear]

thanks James, hoping we get results before I head off to work.

One Hundred Twenty (that's 120) prizes. I remember the days of Eighty (80!) prizes lol. There are going to be a lot of winners, that's like - a small village worth of people.

Since I've been around - the fact that US is STILL willing to do this is really quite something.

That's 120 sabers BEFORE it goes up.  Historically, the prize lot nearly doubles. 

[Lord Sidious]

Not long to go! 

[Randiesel84]

Yay! I have a Guardian on one order and a Manticore and Grab Bag on another, lets hope I win. But if I don't, I'll still have my first few sabers from US!

Well I agree . . . I had no plans to enter this raffle, just sooo busy with life, but when US dropped these new hilts right in the middle of a raffle, OF COURSE I just had to get an entry in, right ? . . . And so . . . the Lost Gray was added to my cart, and without any real hesitation I pressed GO . . . REALLY looking forward to this new hilt, looks amazing and can't wait to see it in person, I'm not even really putting any focus on the actual raffle going on, lol . . .

Lost Gray specs . . . both black buttons . . . BLACK non-illuminated av (with a silver bezel switcharoo) . . . and in Tri-AS . . .  

I'm convinced this silver hilt with ALL black buttons and switch with a bright white blade will be absolutely STUNNING, HEAD TURNING . . . dare I say, a SUPERMODEL  


May the Force be with every one of our forum gang who enters . . . . best of luck in the raffle . . . WOO HOO

I have no doubt it's gonna make people have to sit down where they stand when they look at it.   

Nice work choosing those options, and I think we need to add a nickname to your forum name, Jedi "switcheroo" XIX.  Your work here in bringing this mod to light is exceptionally appreciated.  It's all I've thought about, besides the new Fulcrum and Lost Gray, for my next saber(s).  I'm so impressed by that look.  Incredible, and I think it should definitely be added to the UltraSabers configuration wizard in their online store, so you'd have AV switch button color and AV switch bezel color.  Everyone should see the possibility of doing this.  Until then, of course, in the comments section it will go.  Can't wait to try it on my next order.

I'm so freaking tempted to finagle the money from somewhere to order an emerald Lost Gray.

Arrrgh.

I get you, man. I was at the same crossroads when I ordered my Lost Gray and didn't have the funds for an Emerald, and I have an emerald Electrum Wind, so I heartily agree it's so worth having, but for this one I made a deal with myself, forego the Emerald, go with a TRI Cree GB instead, get a raffle entry and then put a 30 inch photon blade on it. The photon blade uses the wavelength of the TRI GB LED blue light to convert it into an even brighter eerie lime green color, like Ahsoka Tano's saber in Clone Wars.  I still get two blade colors out of it: a very bright guardian blue and a very bright lime green, not bad.
