Sort of a non-specific question... Anyone ever gift someone a Mystery Box? How well was it received?

No I've never gifted anyone a mystery Box, but I'd have to think it would be pretty awesome. of course, you need to know the person. Are they the type who would appreciate a light saber? Do they love Star Wars? If you need to test this theory, I'd be more than happy to receive a mystery Box and let you know how I feel about. I know when I got my 1st mystery Box it was really really cool. Not knowing what was in that Box, and in finding an awesome saber, I'd think he'd be a pretty cool way to do things.

I too would like to volunteer for testing this, or even a grab bag. My banker says I cannot buy anymore myself.

I think any SW fan would love to get one of these sabers as a gift

As it is, I placed a big order for the raffle and discounts... totally irresponsible of me...
Two mystery boxes, two custom orders and an initiate blade (I was eligible for one.)
I'll let everyone know what I got when it arrives Tuesday.
The mystery boxes and one custom order are to be gifts. Hoping for just a little luck on what fate decides for the mysteries and the initiate.
Last question: Manticore or Arbiter?

That's one heck of a list, hope it's all you hope it to be. on the last question I vote Arbiter. It's a beautiful hilt and great for 2 handed dueling.

I have given a couple to a friend of mine for various reasons....Initially they were well received but I think he is over it at this point.

This Christmas I did 7 Mystery boxes for 6 of my brothers and my dad and it was super sell received! It became a sort of "fhoose your destiny" type present where they all chose the sabers at random... except for my dad XD One of the Mystery Boxes Ended up being a Graflex CE with sound, so I decided that one was his since it was too nice to be a random XD

LR, that's a very cool thing to do. Share the saber love! Point to you for your generosity.

Thanks! They were a big hit! My sister was jealous though. I don’t trust her with a saber and had already gotten her a different gift >.>

Got my order yesterday. The two mystery box gifts went over well. The recipients will make good use of them. The third gift has been re-boxed after examination and testing and is off to its recipient. Myself? I now have a Dark Sentinel v5 Emerald, with Dark Warglaive pommel. This thing is massive! It's a good three-plus inches longer than the Prophecy. Further review and a comparison/contrast of Emerald RGBW vs Tri-Cree silver+filters may happen. I also got a free Initiate v2 with 24" blade in orange. I can practice moves indoors without breaking things... or direct traffic with it.

Pic number one. My friend got her saber. I got her a Dominix v4 to match the one she has already, but added sound, AV switch and a staff coupler. Happy? You bet! Pics of the two mystery boxes later.
