Hi Guys,

First of all "KEEP CALM the force is with you". Now, for my real problem...I am having a dilemma IF I should try to get a $75 mystery box OR get AEON V4 (because of the 20% discount). I am just a newbie here and to be honest with you this is the FIRST forum I ever joined. I guess the force was calling me. PLEASE.... Undecided Undecided Undecided guys help me decide whether to get the $75 or just buy the AEON V4. I need to decide before the sale ends which is (8/19/17).

Thank you so much guys!!! Grin

Are you buying the Aeon with sound? And is that the saber you really want or just want it because if the sale? Is it something you are going to use for a specific cosplay?

Bottom line you could get some really awesome for $75 in the box or you could get something in the $85 price range, which is a win but may not be what you wanted.

So it is all up to you if you want to take the chance. For me the chance would be worth it. But that may be different for you.

Hi tx_tuff! Well, since this will be my first saber I want to have it with sound. I saw the sabers without sound and I feel like its not "complete" without it so I am thinking if I get the Aeon I will add sound, but only the LTE. The total amount IF I get the Aeon will be around $220 with discount compare to the $75 mystery (not knowing if there will be a sound). The saber that I want is too expensive and I was thinking that since this will be my first I think I should start small. I am going to use it for duel in the future since I am only starting with the lightsabers.

BTW, I saw your youtube video about your new toys! That was really nice! You mentioned something about the raffle...how did you join the raffle? Sorry if I ask a lot of questions. I am a noob at this forum thing.

Thanks!

Raffles are limited time deals. One just ended a few days ago. When it ended, they started the 15% sound discount. I have an Aeon v4. I ordered 5 mystery boxes. 3 were a dominix. One an initiate. One an apprentice. While some folks got lucky with sound, I didn't get sound except for the 200$ one, but it also had flash on clash. If you know what you want, I'd say get it. Especially with 20% discount. I'm planning on taking a toy sound card from Goodwill to put in one of the mystery boxes. If you want to do that, just be prepared for ANY saber they have. With AV switches, any hilt becomes a value of 75$+ and meets the requirements they describe.

If you really want sound, then I would steer away from the $75 mystery box and take advantage of the sales but I like to play it safe some don't.  If you are okay with not getting sound and a random color/hilt, the mystery box is a very exciting choice and worth just the experience.  However if I am reading correctly not even the Aeon V4 with lite sound is what you really want, so I would save up and keep saving until you can get what you really want.  Just my 2 cents.

Yeah the raffle ended on August 11th so no getting in on that. But they do more than one a year, at least they have in the past.

You could also get the $200 Mystery Box. It is guaranteed sound and you are also guaranteed to get at least a $200 value. I got the Azure Reaper with premium sound, so a decent amount over the $200 value.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Hi Obese Wan...Good name by the way! Thanks for the info! Now I see why there is a discount going on right now...from what you're saying I guess there is a very little or no chance at all on getting a lightsaber with sound on a $75 mystery box. The 20% is a pretty good discount, but I am just thinking if I will let the force decide if I will have a lightsaber with sound on a $75 mystery box or just buy what I want...lol!

Your idea of getting a sound card from Goodwill sound interesting, but it might now be accurate as the sound from ultrasabers...well, keep me posted about your experiment. I want to know what will happen and I might do it as well.

Thanks!

Hi Edon Bluewolf! That's what I was thinking about the mystery box...it is indeed a very exciting feeling, but at the same time a very nerve racking experience..hahahha! Well, the Aoen v4 is a nice saber and yeah its not my type, but the discount is very tempting. Thanks for your advice Edon! I really appreciate it man!

Hi tx_tuff, Too bad I missed the raffle how do you know if there is a upcoming raffle or discount? Do they post it on their website (ultrasabers.com)? I saw some of the people who got a $200 mystery box and it seems that they were bot happy with it. If I will go beyond $200 might as well buy what I want...MAYBE if the future I will also try the $200 mystery box just to see what I will get that is assuming I have bought at least 5 sabers...how many sabers do you have? Thanks for HELPING me here GUYS!   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Wow you posted this question twice in two threads. Well then,  Isola answered best in your other thread In my opinion. You should get the one saber you want and take advantage of the sale being offered. Get the Aeon or 15% off all sabers with sound. Getting a mystery box is probably fun, but you might wish you picked a different saber if you get something you don't really want.

You can't delete it. You can modify your post during the first hour it's posted by the link at the top right of your post. After that it's permanent unless you can get a mod to erase it. No worries about posting twice. I'm just giving you a hard time. 😁

Hi GUYS!! I just want to say thank you for the advice!!! I already made up my mind and decided to buy the $75 Mystery box. I know that most of you are saying to just get AEON v4, but I only wanted that because its on sale..I'd rather get what I really want which is the Guardian with obsidian premium sound or emerald led & sound. Well....I just want to see what the force will give me  Lips sealed and then if I am not happy then I will decide if I should get the Guardian or not.

Just want to say thank you for the following people for helping me decide on this matter:

I really appreciate the answers that you gave me guys! I will unbox this $75 Mystery Box on my YouTube channel and HOPEFULLY I will get the one with sound.

I have one last question since I am a newbie here...once I uploaded the video on YouTube should I post the link here to qualify for the FOURTH VIDEO REVIEW PROGRAM or post it in the Videos threads?

Thanks in advance!  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Hi, I know I'm a little late to the party, but I personally cannot recommend the Aeon V4 enough.  Personally, I think the Aeon/Dominix line is an excellent line of sabers, I have them all.  It's my favorite from UltraSabers, and I even own a few high end sabers.  My ultimate favorite is the Aeon LE V4 you see in my signature.  I absolutely love that saber.  It does have sound, I installed it myself.  Personally, if I was buying for the first time and I had the credits, I'd probably go for that Aeon V4 with Obsidian V4 sound.  It's an awesome saber, and 20% off is hard to beat.  Just my opinion on the Aeon V4.  (I also have its dark brother, the Dominix LE V4)
