Sometimes I think it is easier to refer to them as sound capable vs sound incapable sabers.   How can we have a version 2 when there was no version 1.  I also find it funny when people say that V2's cannot have sound and then someone chimes in "what about the Archon V2?" 

How about new forum lingo:

PVC version
Copper version
Aluminum version
Sound capable version

Any takers on this?

Nah, that's even harder. I just prefer to use the actual name and avoid generalizations like the one you mentioned.

Anybody think we're being unnecessarily picky over a minor technicality? New members (or those who lurk enough) will soon learn and those who have been here a while already know. No point getting bent out of shape just because a thorough description was given.

OG's right.  Sometimes having fun with words though is really fun.  "What if a rose was called skunk cabbage?  Would it smell any less sweet?"

No but I might question the sanity of the person who named the sweet red flower after such a pungent creature.

Sanity is greatly over rated.  Life started to make more sense to me when I stopped trying to achieve sanity.

I wasn't being overly critical or getting bent out of shape, I was only providing information.

Regardless, we should get back on topic.

Hi all.  My mega grab bag order arrived today.  Here are the results, with regular prices:

1.  RGB Dark Prophecy v3, $120+$90 (RGB)
2.  BR Aeon LE, $70
3.  VA Dominix V2, $65 +$5 (VA)
4.  AB? Initiate v3, $60 +$5 (?AB)
5.  AB? Dark Initiate LE v3, $65 +$5 (?AB)

I'm not 100% sure that the Inititates are Arctic Blue, but when I put it side by side with my Guardian Blue Guardian, they definitely looked lighter.    Roll Eyes

Compared to the regular pricing, I didn't score any truly exceptional treasures...save one.  The only Dark Prophecy "RGB" listing is in the "build your own/complete (empty) hilt" section of the site.  I looked up what RGB costs to add to the Manticore and used that value.  The Dark Prophecy looks very unassuming in pics, but is quite striking in hand...pardon the pun.  Also, it may be a one-off RGB, which is cool.   Cool  Don't get me wrong, the other 4 sabers are still more valuable than the grab bag price, but more comparable to a deal of the day discount.

4 of my 5 were actually in the grab bag photo on the site.  The best of the bunch (Dark Prophecy) wasn't.  Although I didn't snag the Manticore or Vader I had hoped for (by playing the odds and ordering 5!), I am pleased overall.  These sabers are better suited to a newb swinger/dueler (me) and will be my "practice" sabers.  I might even try my hand at some home-grown customization, while keeping my Graflex, Guardian, Monarch, and ConsuLord crown jewels pristine.   Cool

Here are the pix:

The Dark Prophecy is a V2. They had three finishes for them: Nickel Plating (CE), Dark, and regular. I was thinking of get one of the CEs with RGB, but they released the v3.

Don't forget the Dark LE! Grin Sorry, I'm a detail nut....

Anyway, congrats Saint! Those are all good gets, especially if you have an MHS coupler and an older coupler....

Luna just beat me to it! A couple of potential staves seem to be present there, Saint! Great score on your grab bags, man!
