I can't help but wonder what the prize count will be. The guys at US are awesome and usually always have more prizes than originally stated.

Which one did you order?
LOL Sorry forgot to mention! Dominix V4 LE, SRD, silver FoC, 32" mid-grade blade, obsidian Lite, Renegade small pommel, covertec. I had a very long debate between SRD, AS (to filter to SY) and AB. I finally settled on SRD, I like the color combination with this hilt and I can match it with my Emerald Aeon for staff work. I generally use the Aeon for single-hilt dueling and cosplay, and it spends most of its time in SY, so this is a "counter-point" to the reverse-LE hilt. I am really hoping this is the one, as this will probably be my last raffle. I have no need for more hilts and so no reason to buy more. Hoping for something nice to cap off the experience. :-) But even if nothing comes, I love these things and I will eventually be back. There will be grandchildren one day to purchase for, after all! :-) |

Very nice! Good luck in the raffle. I look forward to dueling with my future grandchildren too. Surely I can turn one of them to the Dark Side. |

LOL Thanks!
I have had some good times with my daughters (and bruises, too) already. My older daughter has an Initiate V3 and a Liberator V3 both in Violet Amethyst. She uses the Initiate as a shoto and duels two-handed. My younger daughter has an Aeon V2 LE in GB and a dark initiate V3 also in GB. She is mainly a single-blade dueler right now but her older sister has been training her to begin using the shoto techniques she has learned.
My own hilt of choice is an Aeon V4 "reverse" LE with an Archon classic pommel in SY. (usually) I will also have (after this order comes) a Dominix V4 LE in SRD. I have had other blades in the past, Guardian, Domimix V3, Dark Initiate V4 to name a few, but I tend to shed the ones I don't grab down and use. I use the Aeon. I will use the Dominix and I have a vented coupler to make them into a staff, which I will also use.

there is not much difference between Manticore and manticore CE other than the anodized black

Karmack those are tough words to hear ... I read into this as you're a minimalist in this case and if a hilt doesn't serve a purpose it has no home with you. Not that you don't like to collect things though. There are some I default to for fighting, and others that serve the same function but are almost small treasures. I go almost a year between purchases so it feels pretty fresh each time I buy a new one. Each hilt has it's own story and I take on a different persona with them. Sorry for the rant, realizing you're turning a new corner with this hobby are heavy words so it just got me thinking . MTFBWY and best of luck in this one! |

Oh, good. Now I hate you. I hope a Sith Lord makes you cry.   hehe . . . . (don't know if I can promise it'll never happen again . . . . ) Lord Rapine comes along, and takes away all Jed's cookies and bacon. and yes, I probably deserve that, hehe . . . . . (points for the friendly banter, lol . . . .  ) Okay, I'm in the raffle and the Bane society. I just ordered a Bane in Bane's Heart, silver FoC, Obsidian V4, Green illuminated black AV switch, midgrade blade. Good luck to all! These raffles are fun!
Very cool . . . . I'm very excited for mine arriving, and it'll be great seeing all these new Bane pics . . . |

Can't wait for payday so I can order a Bellicose. I don't even care if it's backordered, I'll wait. I know I shouldn't, but I'm still very tempted to enter this raffle... SO MANY PRIZES Since the Consular CE shroud still isn't listed, there is no use ordering one before it's back in stock. Aside from that I am still hoping a new hilt is announced before the end, but I'm also considering joining the "Bane Brothers" club this raffle or picking up a Raven to add to my TFU collection What all do you have so far? |

Yes . . . . I remember when I first joined the forum the Bane had been out of stock for a year or more, and I was all set to order one when it came back before TFA but I missed that boat, had other (Graflex & Shock) plans, lol . . . . From what I've seen the Bane is long, but not too heavy, and I'm really looking forward to swapping out some LED modules to see it in different colours too, but really excited about GB . . . . |

I'm sure James will fix that when his comes in. His reviews are a piece of art, elegant and detailed. |
