2016 Second Spring Raffle Entries and Prizes

[Lord Ramirez]

When lit! Quite the pair!

[Zalbaag]

Got my Raffle entry and prize in.



The Manticore CE (SRD w/V4 sound) was my entry.  My first place prize is a Crimson Scorpion which appears to be 2 channel Red/White.



I have been unable to plug in the crimson scorpion because the pommel is on really really tight.

UPDATE: Was able to remove the pommel with lots of work and found that the saber is actually 4 channel, with all four channels in the blade.  Awesome!

Congratulations to everyone that won!  These are some great prizes (as usual)!

Always glad to see some Scorpions find their way to people too!  It's a favorite hilt of mine!

I was a bit surprised that that was my prize since my other emerald saber is a scorpion, lol! I am interested in trying to switch the shrouds though...

That weathered scorpion looks amazing!!

Double menace day . My entry is the Dark Menace tri CG, Black Green AV switch, v4 sound. Im not sure who it was but someone had a stealth menace in FO which I thought looked awesome, so I wanted a jedi version of it. 2nd Prize winner is 1 half of my favorite sith's saber Regular Menace, Blazing Red, Silver AV switch, White FOC. Enjoy the Pron and thank you Ultrasabers for being great.

Congrats on your raffle win Kwalker179 . . . . and your Stealth Dark Menace in CG looks AWESOME . . . . +1

Okay, first of all, my winning entry saber...sort of.

It's a Dark Menace in EG (although it looks quite different to my other EG, a stunt Dark Apprentice LE), but it didn't stay in stock configuration for long.  I present Project: Undercover, the clandestine operations saber:



Yeah, it's about 1/8 to 1/4 inches longer than an Apprentice V2, WITH full Obsidian V4 sound and QDs.  I went for the non-Emerald, non=recharge Dark Menace body to squeeze the size down as much as I could, after my experiments earlier this year with a Dark Menace fitted with a Flamberge emitter ring.  I felt that was too shallow a blade socket, at 1 inch, so to go with the smallest Dark Menace body I could get, I also got an MHS Scorpion pommel, the neck of which got pressed into service in between the saber body and the Flamberge emitter ring.

This saber is TINY, for a full-featured saber.  It measures exactly 9" from the face of the emitter to the end of the pommel, a half inch shorter than the US listed dimensions of the Initiate V3, and 7/8" shorter than the Initiate V4, and it does that with STYLE.  Just the sort of thing an undercover Jedi (or Sith) could hide on their person, and it's the perfect one handed saber.  The threaded holes for the regular knurled buttons will get filled with low profile button screws or something similar.

My prize is to receive another Scorpion to go with the one I recently bought, but different in that it's the Crimson model, has the claw, has no recharge port, and has a guarded switch.  Oh, and it's RGBW instead of my other Scorpion's RGBA.  Yeah, that's right, I got lucky enough to get a 4-channel instead of a 2-channel on a 1st prize saber.  I scored, and scored big, with this.



So, soon I'll get to do a double Scorpion video review, which should be fun, and I got to have some of the options I passed on with my other one, such as the claw.


Also today, I received my "beater" stung Dark Apprentice staff, in Tri-AS, which I'll be using with LEE filters, for the most part.

It has been a heck of a Revenge of the Fifth.

C'mon, folks, there's a lot more winners than that!

It is interesting that all of the 1st prizes that we've seen so far have had 4-Channel Emerald.  US once again just leaves me flabbergasted at how good they are to us.  Not only giving away a ton of sabers, but throwing premium hilts around like crazy and sabers with a higher level of sound and LED options than was advertised.  Just amazing that they go to such lengths for the customers.

C'mon, folks, there's a lot more winners than that!

Well, I would gladly post but I'm still waiting on mine Entry was a Scorpion in Tri BR and I got a third place prize but I have yet to receive them. The anticipation is killing me! However, every saber I've gotten has blown my mind so I can be a little more patient in waiting......just a little though.

Promised pics so here's mine:

All of you will be familiar with the classic Archon v2.1...

My 3rd place prize: a Dark Sentinel LE v4 with Li-ion setup in CG...






I honestly don't know why I waited so long to get the Archon v2.1..... it's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo comfortable to hold...

Also, bonus pic for all those who are curious about the Archon and how it comes apart...Sorry... I couldn't resist taking apart the first full MHS compatible hilt I've purchased.


Anyone on the fence about getting an Archon, you'll only ever hear to words from me about getting it: GET IT. =P

Emory and team, you guys ROCK! Record time for the sabers to get to me from the time I ordered them!
