Hi all.  My parcel was sent out on Monday prior to the raffle winners notification list... a clear indication that I was not on the winners list as is usual... really my winless streak over many years is getting impressive to monumental !  Arrived home today to find the box placed across the outside of my apartment door.  I had just this morning made arrangements with FedEx via phone to pick it up at the airport... after it arrived tomorrow from the mainland.  Thank goodness no one took it.  The trick next time will be to not pre-pay the customs and taxes so the deliverer can't leave it unattended/un-signed... for anyone to help themselves.  And I thought UPS had the more unsafe delivery practices!

Chose to take advantage of the FLASH25 sale and got x2 Prophecy LITE.  Both Tri-Cree... in FO with HG blade and AB with UEHG blade.  I like the AB color the best.  For some unknown reason a Renagade LE pommel was put on instead of the ordered silver SE version.  I also purchased a Bane pommel so will use that one instead for now.  I have an extensive pommel collection so not yet sure which will be the final choice.  Likely there will be some customization down the road.

That's all to be said about these sabers... other than that the delivery was super speedy.

Very nice set of sabers there, D7.
Afraid it may be a bit for pics of mine, as the entry saber was a Butcher preorder

Wow D7, awesome sabers!  I really like the juxtaposition with the silver hilts & black pommels  Smiley

So here's my raffle entry.

That stinks D7 :/ I didn't win either but it was my first time. It's amazing how you maintain a positive attitude through all that! I'd be so discouraged lol. I saw the prophecy on flash sale and thought about it but the plainness of the hilt kind of put me off. However seeing it with a black covertec wheel and black pommel I think it looks really sweet and now am kicking myself for not getting one.

I am holding off until the next raffle to get another saber. I'm not sure if I want the Butcher or the Emperor's Hand but it will be one of the two as my entry.

In the meantime to console myself for not winning anything, a little retail therapy helps, so I decided to comfort myself by ordering another mystery box today  Tongue  I'll have to find a way to explain this expense again to my fiancé who is baffled by this newfound addiction of mine. I should've probably lied and told him I won it in a raffle lol but he's already aware I lost lol. Will post photos as soon as it arrives!

Hi.  Thanks for the sympathy but please to make it clear... I find it quite humorous and after 11 raffles likely would not want to break my pattern lol.  I own a lot of sabers from a few companies so am not lacking.  The black and silver combo on the first saber makes it different but ultimately it will be customized.  The 36" HG blade is too long but the Scorpion pommel balances it out.  Will likely switch out to a 32" MG as that shows off the Tri-Cree FO the best.

Be careful with your newfound addiction and it will be easier if your fianc'e is on board.  Hope you get something that you really like in your MB.  All is good to try out when building a collection.  Smiley

Thanks, I should also be clear that I'm merely joking. My fiance is aware I'm buying these things. There's no real, tangible way for me to hide a saber after all lol. I forget that humorous tone gets lost a little in text sometimes.

I've seen your posts about entering 11 times and was only commenting that I was amazed how you continue to take it light-heartedly. I didn't sense that you were distressed by it at all. Your attitude is a refreshing take. Just wanted to clarify. I myself don't know if I'd be that level headed. I don't take on many gambles often as a result lol

Looking forward to seeing how your customization turns out on the prophecy. Ageee the pommel is a nice touch!

Great sabers, D7. I’m partial to the silver on silver look in the last pic—which will probably be the direction I go in when I eventually get a prophecy. And the larger pommel adds to the character IMHO.

I didn’t win a free saber either, but this was my first raffle. Some folks do get the luck of the draw though, and I think it’s great to see a list of winners that span from the more active members to those who are first timers.

Mainly, I’m in this to collect sabers and I will now have two when my raffle entry saber arrives (by Saturday!). And I got a saber I’ve had my eye on since I first discovered US at a nice price with the 10% discount, plus a free blade plug, and free shipping too. As I said in another post, there are no losers in these raffles because we all get more for our money. And that’s like a fifth prize level if you think about it, plus the excitement of waiting to see who won the higher tier prize levels.  It’s a lot like ordering a mystery box. You know you’ll get more than your money’s worth—and there’s a chance you might get something “Ultra” nice.

I think it all adds to the fun of collecting and Emory is both a smart and generous business person. I’ve really enjoyed both of my purchase experiences. And with the point system, I’ll have enough to probably get myself a free mystery box for my birthday—or at least pay for most of it. So there’s that added bonus as well.
