(im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!

[Cyclops942]

Two Diamond sabers, one FREEINITIATE, one FREEGRABBAG, one FREEMYSTERYBOX, and one FREECUSTOM...

While I will not record the unboxing, I should have pictures posted within 24 hours of receipt.  Videos... are a maybe; I have very little experience editing video.  The last time I did that, I was physically splicing film and videotape... on a reel, not a cassette (which had just come out to consumers at the time).

If you have a smartphone, it’s pretty easy, just shoot some footage and find the upload button on YT. We’ve come a long way since those reel jobs

Was it VHS or Video2000 that came out?

You will get a tracking notification when they ship it.   I can't say for sure what the shipping time will be, but in the USA it is generally 2-3 days.  I would imagine a week to two would be likely, depending on what customs is like.

And that is a very large group of sabers!   Enjoy!

Thanks for the awnsers, and yes a pretty large group. I teach martial arts in the Netherlands and I'm starting a lightsaberproject with a few students, so I needed a few.

Yes, we have come a long way but I kinda miss using the old chinagraph pencil and splicing the tapes at 45deg (to avoid audio "Clicks") I used to help my local cinema's Chief Projectionist edit his showreels (and those film reels were over a metre in diameter and weighed a ton back in the 80's - luckily the audio tapes were smaller)

And to Tai Chi Chuan Wijchen, I hope your new academy flourishes! <see what I did there?

Beautiful!
I wish my English was good enough to give a nice play of words back to you. But unfortunately....

Sony Betamax was our cassette format of choice at that time, as an upgrade to the reels of tape.

RECORDING video with a smartphone is easy, and ridiculously high-quality for a tool supposedly designed for other purposes, and which includes photography and videography as an afterthought, and UPLOADING video files is also super-simple; it's the EDITING that I have not done yet-- you know, skipping or speeding through the boring parts, re-recording and splicing in something that was done incorrectly the first time through, adding text to note corrections instead of re-recording, adding an intro and an outro... all that stuff.  I'm pretty sure I can manage mounting my phone (in landscape mode) on a tripod and pointing it in the right direction, and I'm pretty sure I can get some lighting that isn't just plain DREADFUL, and I promise you I can talk loudly enough for the mic to pick up my voice (NO worries there!), but if I don't have at least some notes to read from, I'm pretty sure I'm going to mess things up more than I want to live with. 

I have never tried to edit a video on my phone, other than cutting off the excess so that I can keep the file size small enough to email.  I have never tried editing video on my laptop, either, but "everyone" assures me that's easy, too.  I just might find out, if I mess up badly enough or often enough trying to make review videos.

Hey DEAD MAN!  One thing to note: If you entered the raffle they will probably hold shipping the order until after the drawing, so they can ship any potential wins at the same time.  Its the one down-side to the raffle entry. :-)

Thanks for the input I'm gonna try to do an unboxing video but I've never posted a video on here or YouTube so little nervous, I turn 21 today and had hopes my saber would be done but with the raffle and Ros coming so soon I'm not surprised just hopeful.

Is this your first one?  Dont sweat the wait.  When it arrives you will forget all about it, especially with that emerald driver!  I waited 6 months for my first one because it was on back order and I barely remember  it.  Completely worth the wait.  They definitely hold raffle entry orders til the raffle is over.  It says it in fine print somewhere I think, otherwise they told me in an email when I asked last year.  Good luck in the raffle if you entered!
