Hot Pink...how fun! That'll make for a very unique Manticore compared to what I've seen. HP with nickel finish...I hope you'll share pics in the Gallery threads when it comes in!
I shall do a youtube review (like I have done so far). Yep, can't wait.  |

Well... As a new member here I took the plunge and ordered the Emerald Manticore in nickel plate, with the V4 sound board control with an RGBW Led set.
I never liked the shininess of such things but I plan to offset that by adding a rawhide lacing grip along the length of the body so that the nickel plating is contrasted with a weathered brown leather.
I think the effect might be worthwhile.

Great choice! I absolutely love mine. It looks great with any blade color, which is perfect since you went for the Emerald Driver  |

I just did a strange thing..... Well strange in that I am a chap, anyway! I don't have any scraps of leather idly waiting around the house and looking at the price of leather in the local haberdashery store, I went looking for another source. No, I didn't go and kill something furry and then skin it... I plumped for the far more civilised method of popping onto eBay and buying a leather skirt that was about to be unsold at 99 pence! Years of playing rugby have left me with legs that really wouldn't flatter the skirt anyway - besides which it is size 6 and would probably get no further than my knees, and the skirt should have sufficient for all my saber-dressing requirements for years to come! |

Ordered my Manticore CE last Friday, and received it today! Woohoo! It's a beaut. Unfortunately, it's also not the one I ordered.  Unless ALL Manticores have black painted "handle areas" in the middle now? I thought that was just an option... and certainly not an option I chose. Fingers crossed that the replacement process is as smooth as the order process was... |

There is a Manticore and then the Manticore CE. What does your receipt with the specs say? |

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

Ugh. It does indeed say Manticore and not Manticore CE. I have NO idea how that could have happened. I've had the stupid order page up (clearly showing a silver handle!) for two months before finally pulling the trigger! 1 of : Manticore with Obsidian Premium Sound [Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue][Flash on Clash:Flash Silver][Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries & XTAR VC2 Plus Charger Included) [Summer Sales Strike Back]][Recharge Port:Recharge Port + 1.2A Fast Charger][Blade Length:36" Standard Size][Blade Option:UltraEdge Midgrade][Pommel Version:High Profile][Quick Disconnect:Sure, Add Them!][Sound:Obsidian USB V3 Sound! [V3]][Switch Type:Blue Illuminated Silver AV Switch][Blade Tip:Round Tip][Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks][Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Circle Plug][Include Saber Stand:No Thanks][Include MINI USB Cable:No Thanks][Include Covertec Clip:Yes!][Install Covertec Wheel:Yes ($10 install + $4 covertec)] I notice that when specing it out (and ensuring I'm on the Manticore CE page) the price is identical. |

I really don't know how I managed to click on the wrong one after all the time I've been looking at this saber, but US is sticking to their terms, and hitting me with a 20% restocking fee, so this was nearly a $100 mistake, it would seem. I love the saber, and the emitter in particular, but after this experience, I don't know if I even want to replace it with the correct saber, at this point. |
