Autumn Raffle 2016 Entries and Prizes

[Zren Tobas]

^^^True that. I love mine even though the silver one only comes without the grooves but still, its a way nice saber I highly suggest one. Standard Issue is a great dueler too

[Old Bean Kenobi]

Mine might ship this week; I didn't get my selections in for the wins until after normal US closing hours on Friday and I also have a back-ordered pommel on my original order that might introduce a holdup.

1:41PM... I received my Manticore in SRD along with a Dominix V4 in GB. Unboxing and me looking like a fool recording my first video coming soon.

[Jediseth]

Mine shipment of sabers, at least I think there is two being one of the winners, should be dilivered tomorrow. I'm supper stoked about it. Can't hardly wait to see what I won.

I received a shipment notification for my Autumn Raffle winning order, the Bellicose Emerald RGBA, and the grand prize sabers with it - woohoo!  They'll be here the day after Thanksgiving, so I'm definitely looking forward to staying in, avoiding the crowds (won't miss the shopping one bit) and doing a video review on them and posting pics then - yay! I'll be doing a review on the Bellicose Emerald RGBA, Guardian Nickel Plated in DVA/FoC BH and Manticore CE Nickel Plated in BH/FoC Silver, so yeah, could be a longer video than my Fulcrum/Lost Gray video. Woot woot!  Can't wait.  I hope to be able to do a review of the raffle entry that I ordered on the last day of the raffle, the Archon 2.1 on a Flash Sale, which arrives either tomorrow or Wednesday, 11/22 or 11/23. Wednesday could be a little hectic, but I'll give it a shot, because I'd love to share an unboxing and review of that, too!

Congratulations to everyone again who won something in this raffle!  Honestly, this has been a blast to share with everyone! Likewise, the BEST of luck to others who didn't win and may the odds be WAY more in your favor to win on the next raffle - hopefully Winter!

Speaking of the Fulcrum and the Lost Gray, my 2nd and 3rd raffle entry - I received my 30 inch photon blade to go with my Lost Gray with TRI GB, and now I have an Ahsoka Tano look, other than the fact that I don't look anything like her, but these sabers now look "canon".  The blue light from the TRI GB sort of ignites the dye in the photon blade to "electrify" the green to an eerie lime/yellow-green blade color. I love BOTH of these new sabers immensely, but the Lost Gray really shines here:

Here's a quick video and some pics, and as always, keep in mind the camera hates to reproduce colors accurately some times, so take my word on it - the Lost Gray IS more of a yellow/lime-green than a pure green like the Consular Green.  It looks jaw-droppingly cool.

Oh, and I picked up a 24 inch initiate grab bag blade for swinging around the house and while I'm working, for fun and, depending on the moment and the person during the work day, a source of stress release:

Just received a shipping notification! Cannot wait to get these sabers and post some pics and a review for you guys to enjoy!

[hazard502]

Wow, those are some beautiful sabers, also great choice in the Apprentice LE v4, love that hilt.

Great idea Lord Bladewraith for using a Photon Blade with the Lost Grey Saber.

I am still tossing up what blade color to get with this saber. I am not sure if I get the saber in Consular Green and then adding a orange color disc to produce the lime green color. I am also thinking of using Sunriders Destiny for the blade colour and adding a yellow or orange color disc to give it a lime green color.

Once again great photos and video.

I liked the video of you getting your new sabers bigBear.

[Drahcir]

Loving all of these - still might need to grab a Lost gray for myself.

[Old Bean Kenobi]

I was going to mention the idea of using a Photon Blade, but I wasn't sure if that fell into the "Other Guys" bucket of things not to post or not, since it's a third-party product.

[Rapine]

Good to err on the side of caution though Old Bean Kenobi.

+1

Those do get mentioned quite a bit though.  I think anything that's available from a parts supplier (like TCSS) is ok, but never mention other saber shops.  My understanding at least.

Drahcir would be the one to ask actually.

[Benji]

Alright! Here they are in all their unmitigated glory!!

The Manticore looks awesome in SRD, I absolutely love it.  Nice raffle prize too, the Dominix looks good in GB.
