Photo of my Manticore CE (RGBW 4 channel, with Obsidian V4) and the first place; the Monarch which arrived with an RGBW 4 channel Emerald board and Obsidian V3 sound. (I can't show it lit as it seems that one of the batteries arrived dead and it will not accept a charge, but I have ordered some replacements and will post an update once I have them!)  I received the notification for the prize win on the same day that I was running tech at an event where we were also remembering the sad loss of Neil, one of the Jedi Chefs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sPGAKq1CFgNeil was such a great friend to all who knew him - and all who needed a friendly face at the conventions when they knew nobody! Karma being what it is this is not my prize; it belongs to the Jedi Chefs and will be going to them once it has had a small amount of customisation work. |

Torin-La that's SWEET that you got the dark le sentinel to go with your shiny sentinel le!! What an awesome combo, getting the dark counterpart to your order! And a silver AV no less  , very cool win. GaleForce what an amazing entry! Looks incredible . Is the switch on a channel or wired direct? Also sorry to hear about the passing of your friend  . That's so cool of you to do that with the prize, seriously. Point awarded. |

Wow GaleForceEight you have great taste in a lightsaber  and congrats on the Monarch. My Manticore arrived Thursday, along with a 4th place prize--which turned out to be a Dominix V2 with an AV switch. Thanks US. I have no way to inject a photo onto the forum, so a video overview it is. https://youtu.be/cr_1H9RLQ-Y |

That's so cool of you to do that with the prize, seriously. Point awarded. Hi Revan, thank you for the kind comments. Neil used to have a few 'quotes' he used to use frequently so one or two of these will be picked and etched into the hilt in the larger spaces. The idea right now is that the Jedi Chefs will take it in turns to bring the blade to the various conventions so Neil's spirit will be there even though he cannot. I am planning to stitch leather bands around the hilt between, above, and below the grip rings on the hilt. I have a leather skirt I bought on eBay as a donor garment for the leatherwork. I might have to mail Emory to clarify the best way to strip out the internals in preparation for the etching though! The hilt seems to be a single piece construction so I guess the switch is bonded in, and there doesn't appear to be a set screw locking in the LED module - I don't want to mess it up so best to get the full information before starting! |

So as you saw in the pics, my Dark Sentinel entry had an illuminated AV switch. Had because - I already changed it. Usually, I don't like illuminated switches on Sabers (just not my personal taste) but at the last second on this Order, I decided it would be a good idea because . . . reasons? I really don't know why, but i got one - and it just didn't take. So I went instead with a Black anodized, domed, non-illuminated AV switch instead. It's subtle, but I prefer the look of the rounded switches to the flat ones and I really like the way the actuator feels when you push it. Just has a cooler - ignition, feel to it.  Much happier now! Has a purer "stealth" look to it now as well, without the red ring. PS - The Renegade Small Pommel is officially the new UltraSabers "Little Black Dress"; it's perfect for any occasion! |

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.

Congrats on the Monarch! And 4-channel driver no less! I guess that is all they have right now though, which just works in everyone's favor  +1 PS - The Renegade Small Pommel is officially the new UltraSabers "Little Black Dress"; it's perfect for any occasion!
This is definitely the case! That pommel works so well on so many sabers. I also like the look of your stealth Dark Sentinel, Lord C. The dome-shaped switch is nice looking as it adds a a bit more character to the saber. +1 |

Firstly I would like to say thank you to all the US team for the great work they do, this raffle was what pushed me to buy my first saber and I must say ultrasabers are top quality! My entry saber was the Scorpion, even though i'm a Jedi at heart, the damn thing looks so slick, I went for one without a claw and Arctic Blue in colour, best decision I could have made! I was so pumped when the box arrived and I got to see what my Second Place prize was, I had been hoping for a red blade and to my luck that's what I received, a dangerous looking Bane in Blazing Red! Looks so neat! Bane:     For those interested Scorpion without Claw in Arctic Blue:  |
