I am such a huge fan of these mystery boxes!!!  I got my first saber - the Manticore (green, sound, long blade) about a year ago.  I decided to hop back on the site to see what was new and stumbled on the mystery boxes! 

Started with a $75.  Got a Dominix LE V4, "regular" blue, no sound.  Nice blade. 

Ordered a $200 that just got here.  Sentinel V4, "regular" blue, lite sound. Silver FOC. Not a home run by any means, but nice. 

Another $200 should be here tomorrow...and just placed an order for 3 more $75 and 1 more $200.  Being a grownup is awesome.  12 year old me would be so proud of 30+ year old me!

Anyone else got that mystery box addiction???

Only ordered two a $75 box and got a Apprentice V4 with lite sound BR blade with silver FOC. So great box. My 2nd was a $200 box  and got a Azure Reaper with Obsidian V3 sound and FO blade. So I have been very lucky!

Depending on when you ordered the new boxes may have awhile since they are located in Houston and it is a disaster here right now.

Livin' the dream, man, livin' the dream! Congratulations! I've been feelin' the same way about what my 12 year old self would think of the 48 year old version of myself, and I think he'd be proud, too. Even my 38 year old self would never have believed my 48 year old self would get to own a lightsaber collection like this one day. Adulting is awesome.

I've only purchased one mystery box saber so far, the $75 version, and received a shiny Initiate LE V4 stunt saber with a 36 inch UEMG blade in Arctic Blue. It's a total win. I haven't been brave enough to try the $200 version, yet. Best of luck to you, though, on your next one!

Oh man, forgot about that.  Hope their warehouse didn't get hit too hard.  Scary stuff...40 inches of rain in some places, I can't even comprehend it.

Wow! I ordered 2 mystery boxes thus far. Will definitely be getting more soon. I love the whole roll of the dice, not knowing what is being sent your way.

What a joyful statement! 12 yr old me would definitely be proud of the 38 yr old me lol Grin

The MB's are a bit too wild card for me. I've handled enough of the US line up that my tastes are more specific than ever (it's equally learning what I truely like in a lightsaber) - so right now for the money I prefer to choose.

However I am living vicariously through you all, this is no doubt a great adventure.

As long as you're not gonna end up in financial trouble, go nuts and buy up.
Mystery Box, Grab Bag, Custom, Prize.....it doesn't matter, it's still an Ultrasaber  & it rules.

Amen!  Thinking of building a nice display rack or two in my shop and decorating the man cave.  Probably will make a few extras for the inevitable future purchases!

Second $200 mystery box arrived.

Dark Sentinel v4, no windows, green. Not sure if I'm bummed or thrilled because
My last 200 was the regular Sentinel in blue. Still fun, regardless! They can't all be homeruns!

You can make a light side Sentinel saberstaff.  I love my Dark Sentinel LE in Emerald Green. It's so purdy.  Combined with a Sentinel in Blue would look amazing.

Hey Zren, since it was a $200 MB, it did come with sound, so I think he was more just hoping for a different model altogether.

I am going to snag a quick release coupler and do just that! The duality of the two color Sentinels and the two blade colors should pretty cool!  My kids and I duel a lot with their friends in the neighborhood (in reality, its a swarm of kids under 10 who gang up and try to beat me up) and their little heads are gonna explode when I bust out a saberstaff that can "transform".

And you're right, it did come with sound.  It's a nice saber.  I am sure I'm just feeling a little greedy hoping for a grandslam!  Happy with what I have.

4 more are in the mail.  Haha.
