quick question:  With these two sabers, are the LEDs easily removable?  If so, how does one go about it?

If you want easily removable LED modules, I would look at ordering a saber with quick disconnects.  Without them, you'd have to snip wires and splice in the new module.  With them, the LED modules have connectors between the LED and power source that are easily exchanged and simply clip into place.  Grab bags typically won't have those, since they're simply grabbed and shipped.

Just got my second grab bag in today.  From what I have seen I believe that it is a Dark standard issue with vertical grooves.  It is amazing to hold! The vertical grooves really make it feel like it is not going to slip at all.

I got a GB setup very similar to yours. Cheesy

GB Liberator v2 and a BR Dominix v2! I couldn't possibly be happier!

Like you, I didn't order batteries, but US - G-d love them, shipped them anyway! In my other threads, I've suggested it, so I'll also suggest it here, it seems clear that US loves their customers because they always seem to include little extras like this. I would recommend/ask that when you place a GB order, you request batteries anyway. I know that a few cheap alkalines aren't worth a $1.50, especially here in the Outer Rim territories, but it IS worth it to show US that we appreciate them and their work, too!

It's almost like Deep looks at peoples' posts or something, because it seems so many people get what they wanted, even if they didn't know it yet! I have big hands so using an Initiate would be difficult for me, and that's become my new fear of the GB. Ah well, no more roulette for a while - I need to get my hands on an Arbiter next, loaded with the works.

You can attack a covertech wheel to it fairly easily. You could either order one from US, or when you order a covertech belt clip on ebay most come with a wheel. Then you can either tap and drill it to your saber, or gorilla glue would probally work as well.

I'd be scared to use glue - imagine reaching down to your belt and you have an empty clip with just a wheel it it?   Shocked

1 of : Grab Bag Sabers
[Blade Choice:UltraEdge Heavy Grade]
[Select Color:Blazing Red]
[Install Batteries:No Thanks, Got My Own] (batteries came anyways and had a velcro strap around them to stop any slippage of the pack)
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks]

The red is gorgeous in the dark but is kind of washed out in the light compared to Guardian Blue. 

Side by side with the Standard Issue in Guardian Blue



Is that a covertech wheel I see on your new hilt? Did you add that yourself? Or did they send it that way?

Nice. I hope to get this lucky when I go to order my 2 Grab Bags next week. Both will be in Guardian Blue though with an Ultra Edge Heavy Grade blade for me and my bro want to do a good Jedi vs Jedi gone bad video. Tongue

Why yes that is a covertech wheel, and it was installed prior to shipment.

To get a wheel put on a saber that doesn't have one already you have to order the wheel and put 10 $1 requisition charges

It looks good with a covertech wheel on it. I had US install one on my Dominix LE V2 when I ordered last ear. It's such a simple detail yet adds so much to the look of the saber.

I am going to get a GB if i can.  I'm thinking about having UE heavy grade with a random color.  This would be my first saber so i am hoping for a Sith color as you can tell by my name, but i really don't care that much right now.  As for the hilt i am hoping for a Dominix, Liberator or Standard issue, but like i said i'm not picky.  i'll post more if i make the order and if i do then what i get from it.
