similar sentiment, however in my case it seems like my luck runs good with Ultrasabers, Ordered a Dark Dorinian right at the last moment hesitating between the 4th or the raffle.

I got a third place in this one. That makes three raffles in a row - wish I had this luck elsewhere as well!

2nd place prize in the Winter Raffle, 4th place prize in the Fall Raffle, now 3rd place prize in the spring.. oh to just be able to hit on a big one!

Thanks again Ultrasabers!

First, and foremost, thank you Emory and Ultrasabers for all the great work you folks do, continuing to build great durable, showcase sabers at an affordable price, and can ship them out faster than ANYBODY!! That's the biggest difference, to me, that separates US from the rest. It's the awesome craftsmanship, quick delivery, affordable price.. like, DUH!! Not mention banging customer service and all the things they do. The Cons, the forum, the RAFFLE!!!

Just what other company would do this?? Dang!! Love Ultrasabers.. on that note, love everytime they do a raffle, and everyone's excitement.. then, when they get the sabers, the reveal.. just keeps the forum chatter going! Glad to know I will finally be able to participate in this occasion with a 4th place prize.. WHOOP! Fist bump!!

Thanks again US!

Oh my goodness!!!  Thank you so, so much US!  I can't believe I won on my first raffle (and first order for that matter, although I've been wanting an ultra saber for three years now)!  I'm so excited, and can't wait to see what my 4th-place prize looks like (and post pictures)!   :D

I'm also super excited to see pictures of everyone else's prizes!

Just a FYI to raffle winners - if you are so inclined, you are able to request a specific blade color for a small fee (at least for the 3rd prize sabers)! I emailed Marlena after receiving my email to inquire and she got me all sorted out. I've been thinking of getting a consular green saber for a while (purchased one a few years ago as a present for my Dad, but never managed to get one for myself) so I requested that, and the hilt will still be a surprise!

Well that's a 3rd place for Christmas, and and a 4th in the spring. I hope that means I rotate to the top for summer. I can't wait too see Ultra Sabers at SuperCon this summer and thank them in person. Congrats to all the other winners, now the wait for 3 sabers to ship begins.

I'm too lazy to search, but I'm sure I know the answer. 4th place prize is usually a grab bag/mystery saber, am I right?

Edit: just looked.. Random Grab bag saber.. cool!

Did you send your request to their "info" email or simply reply to the winning notification of the "shipping" email?  I sent my request by replying first thing in the morning after receiving the winning notification email but haven't gotten a response yet.  I know that last time after like the third day, they could no longer modify/upgrade my prize as it was already built.

I replied to the shipping email (just in case they were preferentially checking that) and also CC'd Marlena directly. Marlena responded within a couple of hours! Try forwarding your email to her - in my experience she responds very quickly.

Everyone keep in mind that specific price list applies to the particular tier prize that SoS got.  Different place prizes may have different upgrade costs.  For instance I got the same price list quoted to me because just like SoS, I got a second place prize too.

Was the sound not working on your prize saber or whatever you ordered to enter the raffle? If it's the prize (4th place) it's a grab bag, which is a stunt saber (no sound installed) unless there was some way that you upgraded it...

I received my sabers today including the 1st Place one. It appears to be a Fulcrum with a silver/nickle button instead of the black one from the site. The batteries were dead so I have it charging now. It came with the longer 36in blade as well.

I'm excited since Fulcrum and Lost Gray were the two sabers I was considering next.

I've got a Consular, Guardian, and Initiate V2 from this order and a Dark Initiate from a Mystery Box awhile back. Go go saber collection!

You shouldn’t have to contact them and I suppose you can choose not to if you don’t want to. 

Since myself and several other people on the winners list did receive an email the day the results were announced, they clearly have been notifying people. 

Perhaps something went wrong in your case and a simple phone call could quickly clear it up.

Late to the party here.  I received my shipping notification Friday while we were out off town and the saber arrived yesterday while we were traveling home.  Our wonderful USPS supervisor made a special trip this afternoon to deliver it after our regular mail run!  First Prize winner - I received a Gaurdian with Emerald driver, Obsidian sound, 36 inch blade and rev=charge port.  I cannot believe it.  This thing is an amazing saber!

I need to order a charger, have to figure out if it is a 2.1mm or 2.5mm port and then try to understand the Enerald Driver.  The saber right now is cycling through all the colors ...

I will post pictures shortly once I sort things out.  Thank you UltraSabers!

Because mistakes happen. But whatever floats your boat. It's not like you have to respond to their email to get the saber.

As far as not ordering again, yeah they are only giving you a free saber so I understand that.

Left is my original saber bought used, middle is the War Glaive I ordered and the orange blade is my prize saber.  Giving my original to a friend who doesn't have one.

Wow, thanks, Ultrasabers!  You read my mind!  I ordered a Dark Prophecy with Diamond, and I won an Electrum Wind in violet with Obsidian sound.   I had actually been debating the Electrum Wind, too!

The Electrum Wind is bigger than I usually like in a saber, but not too terribly, and the only thing I would have changed is to have flash on clash...but for free, I'm not complaining!  I've been wanting a steampunk lightsaber (I also ordered an extra blade, which I'll be taking out the lining and replacing it with copper window tint film so it looks coppery instead of silver when turned off) and I won't have to do a thing to modify the Electrum Wind, because it's perfect!  Thanks so much!

It's a  bit bulkier than I expected  but overall I like it quite a bit.  I just purchased an Emperor's Hand, and hands down (no pun intended) it is my favorite saber.

EH is surprisingly comfortable to wield.  Of the "premium" sabers I've owned its probably the most comfortable, but I keep coming back to the Aeon V4 and V3 patterns for dueling.  :-)  But if you want a show-stopper that's also functional, the EH is amazing.  Better than the Guardian, IMHO, though the Guardian is beautiful as well.

I have also become VERY fond of my Dark Catalyst hilts the last few months.  They're the equal of my Aeon in comfort and handling and they look amazing as well.  :-) 

Unfortunately the only hilts I've ever won are a Dominix V4 LE (very nice! Love it) and an Initiate V4.  Also nice.   :-)

Good to know, I've been admiring the Aeon V4s lately and love all the variants.  As long as it's as comfortable as my Initiate, I don't mind using it as a dueling saber.   Really good insight into the sabers, thanks!  Point for you!

I have an Aeon V4 I got from a mystery box.  It is has a nice feel to it.  Actually, it hangs in my office at work in case I need to take it to a staff meeting - or a management meeting.  I have this vision of Anakin Skywalker disposing of the Separatist leaders near the end of Revenge of the Sith.  Sorry...tangent....

The Aeon v4 is nice. 


Title: Re: Spring Raffle Extravaganza ends 2018 Winners
Post by: Karmack on June 26, 2018, 07:31:48 PM
LOL   That would be a very decisive way to end a meeting!  :-)

From my own experience and from testimony of others the "thinner" hilts - Aeon V2, V3, V4, Sentinel V4, Catalyst, Prophecy - or with defined choke points like the Shock, tend to be the better dueling hilts.  One thing you'll note about the Aeon, Sentinel, Catalyst and Prophecy - they all have comfortable "choke points" where you can get a very good grip which also tends to correspond with the pivot point of the hilt.

These hilts with the thinner diameters and the choke points make the best handling hilts, but they aren't the most beautiful hilts.  :-)  Most of the really beautiful hilts, though, have a wider girth and that wide diameter hurts their utility.  Especially if you have smaller hands. 

Don't get me wrong.  The Emperor's Hand is functional and works very well as a dueling hilt, but it is inferior to my Aeon V4 or a Sentinel V4.

Don't get me wrong, I like teh Aeon and I love my Dark Prophecy, but the Emperor's hand just feels right for me. I come from a broadsword background so maybe that has something to do with it.  The one thing I will give kudos to the Aeon for is that it is really nice if you want to use both hands on the saber.

Just want to chime in that of all my sabers the Dark Sentinel LE stunt is my go to for heavy dueling.

I have to admit my surprise but the aeon v4 I received in this raffle ha really grown on me, and is one of the more comfortable hilts for dueling.  I’m in the process of attempting to modify it for aesthetics, and will soon change out the orange led for a guardian blue one I had laying around and I think this may end up being one of my favorite sabers.

I keep practicing my soldering, get a decent drill press, and work on drilling and tapping so that next up can be a tcss totally custom build out!

That reminds me that I need to work on my soldering as well.  Want to add sound to my Dark Initiate.  Great goals that you have, Goldldr.  Is your Aeon V4 a stunt saber or does it have sound?

It’s a stunt, with lion and resistor setup.  I truly wish it had windows, but I can live.  My major disappointment was the color of the led (fire orange) which I like, but I have already on too many sabers, so I am changing it out.

My other initial annoyance with it was it is an all silver hilt with a black AV switch, which I didn’t like.  However, a few cosmetic changes as simple as o-rings, a different pommel, and a emitter shroud have made a large difference.  I am new to mods on sabers, so mine are all very simple to date.  Replacing the LED will be a big step for me, as will painting.

Cool deal. The little things can make a huge impact on how it looks and you're starting off with modding the little things first and then moving up to more complicated mods.

I am, it seemed the right way to start.  I bought a bunch of 26 gauge wire to practice soldering on, and have a hilt I don’t care about that I am going to practice some painting on before I go all in on the aeon v4.  I hope it works.  I got a self etching primer, then a bright metallic copper paint, and a semi gloss clear coat.  I haven’t done a ton of spray painting, and none on metal so should be interesting.

What grit sandpaper did you use to rough up before priming?

People use 500-ish grit sandpaper, as long as it's fine.  You just need to rough it up a bit

I actually use steel wool to rough the surface before I paint.  You don't want to "rough" it to much unless you're looking for a certain texture.  A very fine grit works very well, like 500 grit silicon carbide.

Thank you very much.  My plan was to painters tape the areas I want to leave alone, and then rough up/paint the saber.  I hadn’t thought about steel wool.  I may try that.  I would like it to still be pretty smooth at the end of this, so happy for the advice!!

How does the Electrum Wind handle, Jabari?  It's one of my top sabers to get

It's really heavy, definitely a two-hand saber.  I should add though, the Prophecy is my preferred saber and the largest saber I had previously is the Shock.  The Electrum Wind is smaller than the Bellicose or the Lost Gray, which are both too big for me.

Thank you US!  I meant to post pictures months ago, but better late than never, right?  Honestly I'm not sure how to post pictures on the forum, so we'll see if this works...

I won a dark initiate V3 stunt saber from the raffle, and US accidentally sent me an initiate LE V4 li-ion stunt also.  When I asked them about the extra saber, they said I could keep it!  Thank you so much, US!!!
