Hey, those are also the most common sabers to receive in a grab bag. What are the odds? Roll Eyes
From the videos I've seen, it's the V4s that are by far the most common in GBs. With the occasional V2, V3 or Standard issue.
I don't think I've ever seen an unboxing with a V5 as a GB.

I was fully expecting to get a V4 and was likely going to sell it, but the Force decide to give me just the right hilt, color and unique property (the AA setup) to make me want to get that as a perfect fit to my collection

Update: got my rechargeable eneloop pro AAs today.
Popped them into the saber to test them before giving them a full charge (they come ready to use, but I like to top them off first).
It seems even at 1.2v each, they work just fine for my BR LED.
I was worried about the voltage since regular alkaline AAs are 1.5v each.
I don't notice any difference in brightness.

YMMV as I know different colors require different voltage minimums, but I've not heard of anyone getting the 2AA setup in anything other than Red or Orange.
I assume the voltage requirement for Blues and Greens is too high for 2AAs.

Hold up.

First the setup: I've been saving my Reward Points so I could order a blade-less Grab bag for free(+shipping).
I placed my order on Monday, fully expecting it to take some time.
But it arrived today just 4 days later, so that's the first bit of luck.

You got your saber in four days?  That's Death-Star-destroying levels of impossible!  Cheesy How on earth did you get that thing so fast?
