2016 Summer Raffle Entries & Prizes

[RevanReborn]

Got my shipping notice sunday that was gonna be shipping monday .  Shipped monday right on time .  Usually only takes a couple days and its on my doorstep from that point... but i just checked tracking this morning and showing delay at the customs clearance in nearby windsor .  That's only 45 mins away from me lol!  I wanna run there and just jack it from them lol.  Customs hates me lol .  I could tell you some stories lol but this is not time or place.  anyway, i hope to be posting very soon!!  who knows, maybe I'm just panicking for nothing, it could get released any time for all i know... wish me luck!

[Dauntless Seven]

Okay wishing you luck.  I always get a day's delay at Richmond receiving/sorting center out of Vancouver.  Can't wait to see what you got.   

[RevanReborn]

Thanks, yeah I get that too D7 . Only curious thing is the phrasing of the status- not the usual mesg of processing- there's an angry red DELAY mesg lol.  Not sweating it tho I got the call to give me heads up about what the duty is, so that's all normal procedure.  It's only 45 mins away so i'm feeling pretty good about it!  Keep you posted .   EXCITING!!

[Soulstorm]

Just got my entry & raffle prize sabers and I'm so excited because the hilts are gorgeous. Huge thanks to US for the raffle, amazing prizes, and getting them out quick.
I can't wait to see the other entries & prizes.

Entry: emerald overlord with dark war glaive emitter, bright red, no sound, black non-illuminated A/V switch
Prize: Consular with Consular green color and sound (with the lighting & dark blue background, it almost looks like SRD color blade but it is green)

[FreezeNinja]

That war glaive emitter is a beauty ain't it? I myself should be getting my Manticore ce tomorrow as well as my grab bag. I'm so excited, I've dreamed about getting an ultrasaber since last October and it's almost here. I can hardly contain myself.

[Calculon]

Got my shipping notification yesterday... it'll be here Friday! I'll try to do an unboxing vid. Be nice if others would as well. It's like the best kind of lightsaber video! (just me? lol)

[RevanReborn]

Wicked sabers soulstorm!!  What a wicked prize ! 

And yeah, Calculon- that's such a good idea!! I thought of that when it was too late, almost dug my packaging out of garbage and re-wrapped it just to do unboxing lol. 

Mine came this morning- crazy fast!!!    SO PUMPED!!!!! 
You guys, I'm SO thrilled!  Just blown away by these sabers .  As you might be able to tell by the emoticons outnumbering the words in this post hahaha!  They're gorgeous... Just breathtaking .  My order was a dark sentinel with v4 sound, 32" heavy, Windows, in AB with silver FoC, and a yellow illuminated black AV.  My raffle prize... This STUNNING, and yet BEASTLY, Mantis CE with sound!! 

Apologies for the pics- I'll be doing reviews of both of these and showing them extensively elsewhere on the forum but I was just excited to get these up here before work tonight. 






Get your sunglasses on lol:



Anyone want to take a stab at naming this colour lol?!  It's GORGEOUS!  The sentinel behind is AB for a reference- is that SRD?! 
Here it is by itself:

That's a very accurate showing of the colour- exactly what you see in person.  It's intense .  Like a glacial blue.  Can't wait to poke my nose inside these a little and check them out more, I can see what the led is in the mantis and also curious what the sound set up is etc .  Everybody already knows about my developing addiction to sentinels lol, but I'm in love with this mantis!  I remember thinking it looked cool when I was checking it out on the site- but I must not have been paying close enough attention to the specs and details.  This thing is so detailed and so beastly it's insane!!  I'll save it for the review, but man, holding this in your hand and seeing it in person you realize there's just no way pics can do it justice .   I'm so unbelievably thrilled, and most of all, thankful to UltraSabers!!!!   There just aren't the words to express my gratitude.  Everybody mark your callendars lol, for the first time in history something has been amazing enough to live up to Darth Arlo's impossible standards hahaha!  For real though he got all excited when I came up with the box and was opening lol!  He was all up in it I had to keep shewing him back just to get in there lol.

Awesome scores Soulstorm and Rev! The Consular is definitely on my wish list and that Mantis CE looks so shiny. Congrats to you both and a point for each 

[Lord Canterbury]

I think the face he's making is actually saying this:

Wait!  I can't has the Mantis?!



AWESOME haul!  Congratulations, my SaberBuddy!

Shots of Yukon Jack all around for that prize landing in Canada . . .

[Soulstorm]

Revan, I think that is SRD and those are some beauties. You're right about seeing it in person & handling it versus the pics.

Awesome scores Soulstorm and Rev! The Consular is definitely on my wish list and that Mantis CE looks so shiny. Congrats to you both and a point for each 

Appreciate the point & the Consular is sweet and was one of the other hilts I was really looking at. My sister laid claim to the Consular....something about keeping Darth husband in line.

[JediXIX]

Congrats Rev & Soulstorm . . . points to you both . . . 


Rev, I first thought that you Mantis was too "blue" to be SRD (that was on my phone), but it looks to be SRD . . . very cool 


I got my shipping info also . . . ETA 21 June . . . woo hoo . . .

[scifidude79]

Awesome shares.    Boy, that two piece stand really comes in handy with the Mantis.  I don't think it would work as well with a one piece stand because of the shape of the hilt.

[TheDarkOpossum]

It's been a long and eventful day, but behold! I have fresh sabers, and they are glorious.

After an interesting trek to the FedEx hub and some miscommunication with a few of their employees at the help desk, I acquired my package and unboxed the dang things in my car (packing peanuts did nothing to deter me in my mission). I was thrilled to find myself to be the recipient of a prize of an Obsidian Consular in CG w/silver FoC. It's simply beautiful, and feels great in the hand (and the color is perfect -- I'm so happy to have a proper Jedi saber in my repertoire).

Of course, my entry order did not fall short of my expectations either: an Emerald Dark War Glaive in DVA/Bane's Heart. It's the perfect Sithy counterpoint to the Consular.

Dark War Glaive in DVA, Consular in CG


Bane's Heart pulse


View down the hilt DWG in DVA (the outside edges of the light halo are the most true to life)


And Bane's Heart pulse


Darth Puddy showed up to judge me for my new Consular (it's too Jedi for her tastes, I think, but I love it anyway)


Thank you SO MUCH for your exceptional generosity, US! It's not every day you stumble upon an awesome company, but I am certainly glad that I found you.
