Do MBs ever come with V2 initiates anymore? If they don't, then is very easy to get to $75 as the lowest cost above V2s is $65. Just add the $10 blade length upgrade and your at $75. Adding $5 for windows or and LE version is just icing after that. Though the AV switch would be my favorite. That's the main reason I'll eventually be getting a V5 because those come standard and only cost $5 more that V4 equivalents.
In fact, V5s really are a bargain IMO. A V4 with AV switch and windows costs $15-20 more than a V5 that has those standard. I'd only ever be happy with a V4 as a MB pull.

Could be the blade. Standard blade on an apprentice is 24” and the mb ships with 36”, a $10 upgrade. Add the $5 windows and it’s over $75. We’ll worth it to get my feet wet before plunging on a full saber.
I have to be honest. If that's how they bumped up the price it's really silly. The improvements and value in a MB should be in the Hilt not a blade which you get to choose length of to start with. But then again they are goofy with them any ways. Charge more for a upgrade from 24" to 32" on the apprentice hilts, but no reduction on the normal hilts if you choose a 24"...not much logic to that. |

So far I'm on top by $160. My first was a mystery box around November, followed by two bought for gifts in early December and two bought on December 30th that were delivered today. The two from today were shipped assembled and wrapped in bubble wrap. It wasn't as much fun for sure but still a good time gambling on what's going to show up.
In order:
Dark Sentinel v4, Fire Orange, worth $75
Aeon v3, Arctic Blue, worth $80
Aeon v3, Fire Orange, AV switch, worth $90
Initiate v4, Guardian Blue, AV switch, worth $80 ($90 with 32" blade)
Dark Sentinel LE v4, Guardian Blue, AV switch, Lite sound, windows, worth $200

Well I ordered three sabers on the 24th and have yet to see them.  I've called once and sent three emails and no response on anything. |

I figure theyre too busy making and getting work done. May as well leave them to it. Theres enough info here to figure that out. |

My wife and I just got the email that our 2x $75 Mystery Boxes were shipped this morning! We ordered them on January 8th at around 9-10pm or so.
Interestingly, I had a dream last night that we received our lightsabers, but I couldn't see the hilt or blade. So, I guess the force was with me because I sensed them "moving"!

With any luck, mine should be shipped some time during the coming week. But I suppose that depends on supplies holding out  |
