Figured I'd get this started since I hadn't seen it yet.

Please post pics and/or vids of your raffle entry and prizes. Let's see what everyone got. Even if you didn't win post your entry order.

Luck wasn't with me this time, no dice in the raffle. But I won a 4th prize last time so I can't complain too much.

My entries:

1. A Spectre in SD with lite sound, and an illuminated white AV switch. I think I also got silver flash on clash, but I don't want to wake up the family by checking haha. I'm in love with this saber. Even my mom admitted that it was pretty cool.

2. 3 mystery boxes in varying flavors of Dark Apprentice. One of them does have lite sound though! So that's awesome! I'm now the dark apprentice master with four of them. I'm thinking birthday gifts for my other star wars inclined buddies (keeping the sound one for myself though haha)!

[Lady Revan]

Very nice! What colors are they all?

[DarthBoneTD]

jldavi, nice Spectre and as for the three Dark Apprentices, the same thing happened to me with Dark Sentinels last year. Three in row, a grab bag, a MB, and a raffle prize. Did you at least get different blade colors? Point for being the first to share

[jldavi]

Thanks LR, can't wait to see photos of your prize  !!

DB: Two Guardian Blue, one Consular Green. Not the end of the world, that happens with Grab Bags and Mystery boxes sometimes! Plus like I said, one of them had sound, so can't complain.

Sabers are in:

My Entries
Dark Apprentice V5 in SRD, already flipped the windows. Dark Savior in DVA. Both stunt with li-ion setup


Love both of these. They both have gorgeous emitters and the grips on the V5's are much improved over the V4's. The only thing I can say is that they should have put a separate blade retention screw hole in the Savior emitter instead of using one of the window holes. That can be easily rectified

My Prize
So, my 1st place prize: An Initiate V5 with a 4 channel emerald driver and V4 sound and a recharge port. My last 3rd place Fall raffle prize was an Initiate V5.
When it arrived it was flickering when I pulled it out and unwrapped it so I changed the batteries and plugged it into saber launcher. As I was changing the color it began flickering again and then once I swung it around a couple times the red LED seemed to die, then the whole thing shut down and will not turn back on. I emailed Saint Marlena and she got back to me immediately and assured me that it will be fixed. I'm going to guess that a wire or two is loose or disconnected. So I will pack it up and send it back Monday morning. This is the first time I've ever had any issue in 32 sabers, that's a pretty good ratio.
Here are some unlit pics:

This is a gorgeous saber and I look forward to getting it back

Excellent stuff there, DB
I'm looking forward even more to seeing my own Initiate V5 hilts now

[Zren Tobas]

Nice Dark Savior though =] I really do like the new Aeon V5 pommel, might have to get me one just because. Would look sweet on any Savior I think

[Dwolf96]

The luck was not with me this raffle but I absolutely love my entry, Spectre in GB. This is one of the coolest hilts from Ultrasaber!



It looks excellent with the blade plug from my butcher pre order too.

[Lady Revan]

Great Sabers, DarthBoneTD and Dwolf96!

I just got confirmation that my orders and prize saber will be shipping on Monday, so They'll likely be here Wednesday or Thursday Excited to put my pictures up with the rest of you guys'

[Rapine]

Great pics everyone!

DB, that's unfortunate about your Initiate, but great that you got in touch with Marlena right away.

Gorgeous saber Dwolf.  

I look forward eagerly to the incoming pics.

Points for all.

[DarthBoneTD]

Dwolf that is a great choice, no engraving looks so slick. Point for the share

Great pics everyone!

DB, that's unfortunate about your Initiate, but great that you got in touch with Marlena right away.

Thank's  Rapine, like I said it my first problem and they responded so quick to help get it back. Now I did find out raffle prizes are not covered under warranty, but since it was not working properly out of the box it definitely was not anything I did. It should be in perfect working order when it arrives, so this is a special circumstance and it's covered. Maybe it's great customer service or maybe it's because I'm a fairly good customer, but the service I receive from ULTRA SABERS is some of the best I've ever had and that's from day one.

A couple pics of my entry and raffle prize next to my first saber, the Scorpion with Tri-AB, for scale.  Also with less babies.


Entry is the Chosen One SE with Tri-BR and v4 sound.  Love the windows option in this saber but decided against it since I wanted to stay as true to ESB Vader as possible (minus the nuances in color).  It handles pretty well within my limited skill set and is much lighter than the beast that is the Scorpion.  I like the standard Darkstar font for Vader but will definitely be looking to get more: probably one with Vader breathing in addition to the hum, and another with some Vader lines.

Raffle prize is the Dark Initiate LE v5 with 4-channel Emerald, v4 sound, and a recharge port.  I initially thought it was a 2-channel driver from the prize listing on the US website and on the raffle thread but after reading DarthBone's post about his prize I thought maybe he made a typo until I finally had time to download the software and start playing.  When I saw those 4 diode adjustment slides, it was like winning all over again!  It was pretty much the same for the recharge port which I missed on first inspection.  This was INCREDIBLY generous by US giving away so many of these!  I can't thank them enough.  The current set up has Hot Pink (i think) with VA FOC.  It is light as a feather and if I had any combat skill at all, I could make this thing fly.  The grip for me has no slip whatsoever and is a cool design as well.

Can't wait to see Darth Bone's prize when it comes back and any other pics that get posted! Those Spectres are awesome!

[Lady Revan]

Great pics HanSoloVoltron!

[Zren Tobas]

Nice. The Initiate V5 seems to be about the same length as the Chosen One
