Title: You just won the Winter Raffle...what's it going to be?
Post by: Malik Thanewulf on January 18, 2020, 04:21:47 AM
So saberforum, we're all entered into the raffle and of course, we all want to win. The question is, what will you choose? If I win the diamond prize, I want the Renegade LE. If I win the Emerald prize, I'm torn between a Graflex and a a Crimson  Scorpion.  So forum, what will you choose if you win this raffle?

Flamberge.  But, I haven't entered yet.  I'm still on the fence.  I want to get into the raffle but I also have a bunch of sabers I want to buy.  I might wait for the next saber giveaway especially if it involves the Frankensaber.

I actually haven't entered.... I don't know how to enter and I've never really won at giveaways or raffle's or anything...so hesitant to join.

SaberiusPrime, you have to purchase a saber ($250 gets you free shipping), enter the code WINTERRAFFLE,  also put your forum name in the notes box. This will enter you into the raffle.

Lol this was what made me most hesitant to do another order to just get a entry. That plus i had already spent $400+ with US just in the previous month. But the fact i am 39yrs old and have never won more then a winter hat in any type of raffle i have done in my life i don't feel the luckiest with them lol. Oh well if i don't win anything at least i have a cool new saber coming.

Well that rules me out. Already blew my money on the Spectre during the Sithmas sale. Maybe next year.

No need to wait a year.  US has four raffles a year: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.  So unless you are only buying one saber a year (which is just crazy) you will more opportunities to enter the raffles.

Post by: Urban Bane on January 18, 2020, 02:25:09 PM
I would lean towards the Grand Master, but would also eye the graflex too.

After all these waiting times I doubt I will buy any more for a quite a while. Note to Future me. Never buy during Christmas.

If I won the diamond prize I would go with the Grandmaster and for the emerald prize I would go with the Lost Gray. Or maybe the Spectre. Possibly a dominicide.


Title: Re: You just won the Winter Raffle...what's it going to be?
Post by: chalion on January 18, 2020, 07:55:42 PM
If I win the choice of Lightsaber, i'm thinking the Butcher. It's not one I would normally buy, since it's huge and has claws, but I want to compare to another makers' lightsaber and well, I already have all the once huge list of UltraSabers lightsabers I wanted. If I get the option, I would pay the difference to upgrade (if needed) to Diamond.

Not a cross-guard saber user though, so those are off my list.

Leaning toward a Flamberge, should the Force choose to favor me


Title: Re: You just won the Winter Raffle...what's it going to be?
Post by: Robyn_Goodfellow on January 19, 2020, 10:53:58 PM
I would love a SS Raven or Dark Arbiter .... or a Dark Flamberge ... or savior.
I have a long wish list ;

Is Dominicide an option? Or is it only single bladed sabers?


Title: Re: You just won the Winter Raffle...what's it going to be?
Post by: Malik Thanewulf on January 20, 2020, 07:37:33 AM
Any saber can be your prize. Including the Dominicide.

As long as you meet the requirements to enter the raffle which is having an order of $250.00 or more.


Title: Re: You just won the Winter Raffle...what's it going to be?
Post by: GeddaTheHutt on January 20, 2020, 03:03:54 PM
If the force chooses me I would go for a Crimson Dorian or Grandmaster LE.


Title: Re: You just won the Winter Raffle...what's it going to be?
Post by: Karmack on January 20, 2020, 10:14:47 PM
If I won the top prize, it would be a Diamond Dorian.   :-)  Upgraded with a silver AV switch.


Title: Re: You just won the Winter Raffle...what's it going to be?
Post by: Galef on January 20, 2020, 10:36:52 PM
Are double sabers (not the Domicide) on the table? If so, if I won only of the top prizes, I'd get a Sentinel V4 Staff with Premium sound and all the trappings (Av switches, emitter windows, etc) and Tri-blue and Tri-red.  That way I can give each of my sons a saber with sound.

EDIT: NVM, it looks like it's all "single" sabers.  At any rate, I'd be happy with a Grab-bag saber.  I'll have to add a GB saber to my order to get it to $250 anyway, so winning a second would be perfect

Question, if I ordered some parts and an empty saber  or two, do I get the 10%off the saber price? ( even if it is an empty hilt)


Title: Re: You just won the Winter Raffle...what's it going to be?
Post by: darkferris on January 21, 2020, 10:36:26 PM
I’m thinking Dark Dorinian or Dominicide.


Title: Re: You just won the Winter Raffle...what's it going to be?
Post by: Infinit01 on January 22, 2020, 12:06:16 PM
Fallen LE or Sentinel LE V5 with an SRD blade. Stunt blade with Lit-Ion upgrade on for the Sentinel and premium sound for the Fallen LE or Diamond board if I would of gotten 1st place


Title: Re: You just won the Winter Raffle...what's it going to be?
Post by: TR-77477 on January 22, 2020, 12:22:35 PM
I would like a few different hilts in the diamond setup, Spectre, Dorinian, Fallen, Guardian. I would have to flip a coin to decide.

Not that I could participate this time, but if I can get in on the next raffle and win, I think I would order a black Dominicide (hope I spelled that right) in the diamond configuration. Do the arctic blue with silver flash on clash. Haven’t figured out what the pulse feature is yet so I would ignore that.

Mostly just curious to see how cool that saber is myself, but not confident enough to order one myself. If it’s free though, it’s automatically awesome. Even if only as a display piece.

The pulse feature is a second color that is active during the “idle hum” phase (meaning it’s not doing its Flash On Clash happy-dance, or its Force Effect happy-dance, or any other happy-dance), and the blade will fade between the normal color and the pulse color.  In the case of my Azure Fallen, the normal color is Violet Amethyst, and the pulse color is Dark Violet Amethyst (formerly Blue Violet Amethyst), and the shift in between the two colors is subtle, because the two colors are so similar.

Post by: Metal Mech on January 23, 2020, 09:42:38 PM
I want a specter but only if the missing options are avaliable when I order. Beyond that I don’t know. Maybe lost Grey or fulcrum.  The Fallen, Omen and Renegade are all pretty cool as well.


Title: Re: You just won the Winter Raffle...what's it going to be?
Post by: Ganner Krieg on January 23, 2020, 09:51:24 PM
I would definitely wanna get the Grandmaster just for the hilt design. I think turning the Grandmaster into a saber staff with a quick connect would make it super cool. Probably would do Bane’s Heart for one blade and Sunrider’s Destiny for the other. I think the contrast would look really good

i just entered the raffle by purchasing a Aeon V5 (emerald LED driver and obsidian soundboard) - can't wait to receive it. Owning a light saber have been a long dream of mine and  i did a lot of research to insure i'm purchasing it from the right vender, seems UltraSabers is at the very top of the list. and if i do win a light saber (any), i'll look forward in expending my collection.  ;D

I can't decide between the classic Graflex CE (such a versatile hilt, and so iconic and cool!), Dominicide (such a unique and cool dual saber), or the Archon (because I'm a big fan of the OG Obi-Wan/Luke hilts). I think the Graflex CE wins out for me though because of how iconic it is!

The Graflex defines Star Wars for most people who grew up in the 70's/80's. It made us want to be part of that universe.

I've got my order Wishlisted at the moment. Sentinel v5 LE with Lite sound in VA +Sliver FoC and a Dark Apprentice stunt saber in Silver + color discs for my wife.
Still waiting on my December order to arrive to pull the trigger, but I verified with FedEx that no such package has been sent (since contacting US is a non-option for everyone right now).
Gonna give it until the 30th (which will be right at 5 weeks processing time). If still no progress, I'll just make the order and hope for the best.

If I do win a Raffle prize (which would make all this stress worthwhile) I'd probably go with a Grand Master. That saber is beautiful

I just saw that myself. Full anodizing looks too much to me, since I got in on the Dark Graflex and I see the negatives of that. But the design looks quite nice and how it comes apart in the blender they used is quite interesting.

Agreed. The design is nice but the solid anodizing gives it no real definition. Also, the coolest thing about this saber was the switch.  I do wish they'd attempted it.

Well, since I am an idiot and forgot to use the code on my purchase, had I actually entered and won, I would either love to get The Malice or the RENEGADE LE.  While I have the Dark Mantis on the way at some point, I love those 2 just for the design of them.

But alas, I forgot to enter, so no extra saber for me.

Don't know if it'll work but you can try emailing and asking them to add it? Worth a shot, anyway.

Okay, got 2 new sabers ( that I really wanted in the collection), , so if I win diamond prize, it's definitely the Renegade LE.  If I won a 2nd saber (feeling the Force flow around me), I'd get...???? Going to be the Crimson Scorpion, Graflex or the Chosen One.  Need to finish my wishlist after all.

I did and got the automated message about them taking 3-4 weeks with orders and everything.  Probably by the time they get around to my question, the event will be over and the winners announced.

It's fine.  Just teach me to read things better the next time I order something.

Side note on making orders with codes: Apparently if you have points from a prior purchase, you have to apply them FIRST before entering Coupon Codes.
I entered the 10ALLSabers code, then went to apply my points and I got an error. I had to remove everything from my cart and start again, but was able to apply my points, then add the Coupon code

Very good to know, since I will be using my points later this year, when I get my Frankensaber upgraded to Diamond.

Ok so upon further reflection, I know what I'd choose if I won:
A Grand Master that I would add some brass detailing to by painting it into the etching.
If I won the single color with FoC option, it would be Green with Orange FoC to contrast my Sentinel v5 in VA with Silver FoC

Post by: Keevaro on January 31, 2020, 12:31:30 AM
I would want a Menace CE to match the one I have already ordered, that way I could make a double blade. Aside from that, I want a Savior (doesn't really matter which one, as I like all four variants).
I've never won any kind of raffle or anything in my life, so I hope I win something if not the grand prize. lol

Post by: Wamp Rat on February 01, 2020, 12:44:09 AM
I have absolutely no idea. I just ordered one of the sabers that I really wanted to be included in the drawing. I'm not really a collector (YET) and I've always leaned toward a more subtle look. Maybe something simple like an Electrum Wind? Honestly, in the odd chance that I would actually win, I would just be very grateful for anything. With that said, good luck everyone and may the Force be with you.

I have to give Ultra Sabers credit. Especially to Marlena! As I posted a day ago, I forgot to include my forum name with my raffle entry. Now with the time crunch I had pretty much written off the chance that anyone would get my plea for help. But would you believe it, Marlena wrote back at 6:33pm today to inform me that I was good to go with my entry. So not only did Marlena square me away, but she was also obviously working overtime (past 5pm?) to keep things moving along. So win or lose, I really have to give US and especially Marlena a thumbs up. Thanks again you guys.
