Dark Initiate V4

So, what's up everyone? I'm posting a review of my Dark Initiate V4 in Arctic Blue with windows and Li-Ion batteries that I snagged as my 3rs place raffle win. Not much to say beyond what's in the above video. This is an awesome saber, not my first Initiate, but my first Dark Initiate. I just want to say thanks again to Ultrasabers, to Emory, for doing all of these great promotions and giveaways. To get a saber like this totally free, and to save on my entry, and free shipping, that's a whole lot of savings and free stuff. You guys are awesome.

Total cost of this saber as configured: $108.

And, now some photos. I find that people like both the photos and videos, so why not do both? They're clicky.

A closeup of the windows, now beveled:

Anyway, that's my review. Love it. Love it. Love it.

And, I'll say that I have plans for this saber. Oh yes, plans indeed. They involve a sound board and a Dark Catalyst pommel. I have yet to decide if it has a date with some sandpaper. But, I may leave this one all black. it looks sleek. I'll probably leave it that way, unless I really get in the mood for sanding. But, all black with a black guarded switch is sounding like a really sweet setup to me.

Nice review there, SFD.  As previously mentioned, the V4 Initiate line has always been a top favorite of mine

Nice win man! My first saber was an Initiate v4 and I really like it too. It's a very nice sized hilt!

Can't go wrong with the Dark Initiate V4.
My first hilts were the LE version with Dark Warglaive pommels

Nice review and pics (I love pics). I wish mine would have came blue, I really like the blue blades on dark sabers and AB is gorgeous!

Dude, the opening to your review was both awesome and hilarious I laughed out loud. I just really enjoy and appreciate the content you bring to us in pics, writing and in videos it's informative and helpful. I'll echo you and everyone else, this is a beautiful lightsaber. The blue blade really shows off nicely here and the combo is just premium. Congrats on a cool prize.

Thanks bro. Though, I really was playing Asteroids for the Atari 2600 right before shooting that. That 56,000+ point score didn't put itself up there.

Ha, I suppose not.

Yes, love the Atari console behind you

Technically, it's a Retron 77 by Hyperkin. But, yes, it plays Atari 2600 games. I got that console in the mail the same day as the Dark Initiate.

That's a win-win

[scifidude79]

That's a win-win

Yeah, it was a good day. I would say I didn't know what to open first, but you know that saber was laid out next to me, unwrapped, when I opened the box with the Retron 77 in it.
