Title: Greetings and salutations!
Post by: greppson on November 06, 2019, 02:01:03 AM
Checking in for the first time from Indiana!

Picked up a mystery box roughly a week ago and got a Aeon V3 AV, violet blade. Really like it, convinced a work colleague to purchase one as well.

So impressed with the quality, went all in and purchased a Prophecy V3 with sound, SRD with Arctic Blue FoC last night! Super excited for that to show up soon!

Will be making one more purchase soon: a saber for a work colleague who just bought a house and is expecting a baby soon. We know he can't afford picking up a saber, so we are going to get one for him and surprise him. :)

Glad to be here and begin my collection!

Jason :)

Sounds like you got some good sabers. Nice work getting a co-worker to get one too, now you have someone to whack at  ;)

Also very awesome your getting a saber as a house warming/baby present.  ;D 8)

Hello and welcome to the addiction! The Aeon V3 is a beauty saber (Aeon anything, really). I'm a fan of silver hilts with Violet Amethyst blades so do post pictures.  The Prophecy V3 is highly coveted in my opinion, can't go wrong there!

So which saber are you thinking about for your friend?


Title: Re: Greetings and salutations!
Post by: greppson on November 06, 2019, 10:32:05 PM
Thanks all!

I'll post some picks once the Prophecy comes in.  :)

Not sure on which hilt for the friend yet, but I know we will be doing some blue for the blade.

Hello greppson, and welcome!

Very awesome of you to gift sabers like that!  I have yet to do the same, but that's certainly on my short list...provided they're Dark Side users ;)

Sounds like you're going about things the right way

We ended up ordering a Dark Sentinel with a red blade for him. He had told one of us he really wanted a red blade and we felt like that deserved a fully black hilt. Will post pics when my new one and his comes in!

Surprise went really well! Package was delivered to the wrong building, but I was in the building for a meeting so I grabbed it and took it back to the office. Told him a package came for him and he started to open it and figured out what it was. He started to get a little teary-eyed, got it out of the box and almost started full out bawling, much more so when he turned the blade on. It has been a bit of a rough time lately, even with buying the house and the baby on the way, so this was definitely the highlight of the past few weeks for him. Hugs and a few more tears and then it was all fun. I think a few folks in the office got something in their eyes too.  ;) ;D

Alright, here are the pictures.

Here is my Aeon V3, Violet blade mystery box.

Silver hilt and SRD blade is one of my favorite SRD set ups

Beautiful Prophecy and compliments on the picture of the Aeon. I really like the way the purple shines.

Yup... greppson, these sabers look very nice.  As Infinit01 says, that SRD blade looks very nice with the silver hilt.  (I gotta admit, though, it looks good with every hilt I've ever seen it on.)
