Title: Yet Another $75 Mystery Box Unboxing Post by: GrayTinker on March 01, 2018, 11:20:17 PM So here we go, my long awaited Mystery Box came today. I'm off work today sick with a cold, so what better way to spend a sick day than with a new saber and watching Star Wars?
(Incidentally, the black blade cap was later found stuck in the bubble wrap - so it *was* there.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_BMl5vdYeM -GT Title: Re: Yet Another $75 Mystery Box Unboxing Post by: Lady Agana Kath on March 02, 2018, 12:22:17 AM Congrats on a sweet hilt! I love the Aeon/Dominix v2 hilt and AS is a very underrated color ;D
Title: Re: Yet Another $75 Mystery Box Unboxing Post by: Metal Mech on March 02, 2018, 12:38:47 AM Very nice. AS is an awesome color itself plus the option to make it whatever you want. Been tempted to get that color when I ordered my next one. That way I can change the color if I get bored. Have fun with your saber and hope you feel better soon.

I was kind of hoping for an Apprentice or Initiate hilt, but getting a dark hilt of any kind, plus AV switch, and the silver blade is pretty dang awesome. I can easily make this an orange blade to match my other SI, or go green or yellow with it. The simple hilt design is gonna be a great base for any customizing I want to do, and weathering / dry brushing will look fantastic. I ordered a Jedi style robe so I hope to do a cool picture soon with my sabers. Because everyone needs a cool picture with their saber(s) right? Also, here's the two of mine side-by-side for comparison: (http://i.imgur.com/odrzRq3.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/Q9X36Xo.jpg) -GT Title: Re: Yet Another $75 Mystery Box Unboxing Post by: Metal Mech on March 02, 2018, 12:39:28 PM Man seeing your two sabers side by side makes me want another....just kidding I already wanted another one the moment I opened the box.

She scores a Dominix V2. :) I have one of those. Nice snag on the AV switch and AS is pretty cool. Did you happen to get a TRI-Cree? You should check out Hazard502's AS Prophecy thread. He's about to add some filters to it too. http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=38175.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=38175.0;topicseen) And, of course costume pics are awesome. :P I hope your cold goes away fast GT, and +1 Title: Re: Yet Another $75 Mystery Box Unboxing Post by: GrayTinker on March 02, 2018, 09:00:51 PM WOOHOO!!

But it's still really bright, as you can see by the pics of my two side-by-side. Although to be fair, the SI with Orange has the original Sony batteries and I'm not entirely sure how old they are. :D Title: Re: Yet Another $75 Mystery Box Unboxing Post by: Rapine on March 02, 2018, 10:48:16 PM Yes, AS is pretty bright, for the most part. I suggest the LEE filters for it.
US colour disks are good, but intended for a TRI. LEE filters are for stage lights. Seriously - check Haz's thread. PM him even. He's extremely cool. :) Another +1 - just 'cause. |
