So it will be my 3yr anniversary with US on Oct. 21st, and since I enjoy sharing with you all, I figured I'd take you down memory lane with me.
We all start somewhere.Sabers 1 and 2- Oct 21st, 2015
I ordered my Emerald Bellicose and before it even got to me I ordered a Dominix V4 LE w/obs V4 GB/VA. I knew absolutely nothing about them only that US was the place to go. Only regret not getting A/V switches on every saber.
These are the first two pics I ever took of a lightsaberNext 3,4, and 5- Dec 1st, 2015
I got a Sentinel V4 stunt staff in CG and FO. I also got my first my first grab bag an Aeon V4 with windows in BR
6 and 7- Feb 6th, 2016
Got a pair of Dark Initiate V3 LE stunts in DVA and PO. Got my first taste of customization.
My sister and father passed away within 5 months of each other and I forgot about my sabers for a bit and didn't order again for over a year.Sabers 8, 9, and 10- Feb 13th and 27th, 2017
A little retail therapy got me feeling a little better
A Dark War Glaive with Obs V4 in BR/AS, my 2nd grab bag a Prophecy V3 in CG, then 2 weeks later got my all AS Renegade for endless color possibilities. Got all my color swatch books and began experimenting
11 and 12- Apr 16th, 2017
Got a RGB Dominix V2 and my 3rd Grab Bag- A Liberator V3. Threw down my first battle damage. Never really took pics of my liberator until I customized it
13- Sept 25th, 2017
Mystery boxes came out so I had to try one, also got a yari pike extension and parts to enter my first raffle, which I lost. Got a Dark Sentinel V4 in BR/VA with obs. lite. First go at full dremel weathering and damage
14 and 15- November 16th, 2017
This is where the super addiction kicked in for me
Brood Guards came out and they were order immediately.
2 Dark Brood stunts in SY and DVA, these are my absolute faves. Loved customizing them and got my first taste of TCSS, and built a costume around them. Then had custom RB's made for them
16, 17, and 18- Feb 2nd and 9th, 2018
This was the only time I've ever waited longer than a week for my saber to ship. It was during the Raffle/ Christmas/ Movie rush last year, there was so much whining going on here that I left the forum for a few months. I ordered my Monarch CE in Tri-AB w/obs V4 on Dec 27th to enter the raffle which I won 3rd Place and got another Dark Sentinel V4 in CG w/ Li-ion. Then I got and Initiate V4 LE in AS to do up for my wife. So I had to wait for a month, better than the competition by far.
Raffles 1 for 2This was the collection so far:
19,20, and 21- May 7th, 2018
Kept it rolling with another raffle win, this time 4th place.
Ordered a Dark Omen in AS (I love AS for the poor man's emerald effect), and a Mystery Box- DI V4 in GB (gifted away). Won a DSI in VA for the raffle.
Raffles 2 for 322 and 23- August 20th, 2018
Spectre came out and was another immediate order and raffle entry with a MB to boot. Really got into pommel and emitter swaps
Spectre in SY/FO w/obs. V4 and Apprentice V4 LE in GB. Lost the raffle
Raffles 2 for 424 and 25- Sept 17th, 2018
My Consular in GB/BR w/ obs V4 and Second Place raffle prize a Graflex CE in Tri-CG w/obs. V3
Raffles 3 for 526-
???MB on the way?

So basically I went from this:
To this in 3 years:
I have to say that everyone of these orders went smooth with the exception noted above at Christmas, and I have never had a single problem with any of my sabers that wasn't caused by me. My Bellicose works as well today as the day I got it and it has been given the business over the last 3 years. I consider myself an US enthusiast and will not go anywhere else again. I have a couple of sabers from other places and the CS and the wait times are almost ridiculous. Ultra Sabers customer service is second to no one out there.Thanks for taking the time to walking through with me and I hope you have the same luck with US that I do (especially in the raffles).
P.S.
This forum is awesome and I'm glad you all let me be part of it. Hope to share many more photo's of many more sabers with you guys and gals.
