Let's see what grab bag you got! Post your pics here!

Well, now you have two of them.  With UltraSabers, that's never a bad thing.  Plus, as you said, it's a windowed LE with an AV switch, so I'd call that a good deal.

Wow! Finally got my package. All in all, turn around time was great considering I ordered close to the weekend. I'm just impatient. So here it is! There's another one that's not pictured yet.

I don't see any pictures.  Though, I see you posted them to Facebook, (I hit Quote on your reply) which isn't the best place to post images for use on other sites.  Free image sites like Flickr or Photobucket or free cloud storage space sites like Dropbox work better.

Still trying to figure this out exactly...

Thank you. Now updated with standard shots of second saber (The blade is actually silver with the color discs) Also added them to an album.

Well, so now you've included a link to your entire photobucket page.  You may not want that.

'cause this:

Nice freakin' Prophecy BTW.

Select one image at a time.  Click on it to get the full image, then right click, copy image address, and paste it between the [ IMG ] [ /IMG ] (no spaces) things.


That works.

Have another +1

Indeed an awesome score! Congrats on such a nice grab bag, Benji

Thanks guys! If we get a nice day free of rain here, I will drag a few friends out to the beach and make a video.

I ordered a couple this time and I got two wonderful hits; an Aeon V3 and a Dark Sentinel.  Both have AV switches, which are always nice.



The Sentinel has some slight marks in the finish, which you can kinda see in this pic:



But, that can happen with grab bags.  It's no biggie.  I figure this is an opportunity to try my hand at sanding down a black hilt, since this is the first one I've ever gotten and I only paid $55 for it anyway.  The marks on the finish just make it an even better idea. 

In order to take advantage of the half off grab bag blades, I ordered a couple of those separately.  For $5 a piece, I got a couple nice 32-inch HG blades.  Here are the sabers with the blades lit:



The Aeon is in Consular Green, which I love, and the Sentinel is in Fire Orange.

All in all, this was a very satisfying shopping experience, it's everything I hoped for.  Before ordering, I toyed with the idea of buying a Dominix V3 in Fire Orange because I wanted to try the V3 design, I wanted something black anodized and I wanted an FO blade color.  Instead, I ordered the grab bags, and I got a V3 and one that is black anodized with a FO blade.  Plus, you can never go wrong with the Sentinel design.  I couldn't be happier.

nice hilts there scifidude, the fact you got the dark hilt in orange you wanted extra bonus...have a point!

[Zren Tobas]

Nice sabers. But yeah that's a full size Sentinel saber, I noticed you had Initiate in your list so Fire Orange looks cool though =]

[scifidude79]

Thanks guys. 

@Zren: I haven't updated the list yet.  (I was making dinner)  I've gotten four grab bag sabers thus far: Initiate LE V4, Aeon LE V4 and now a Dark Sentinel V4 and an Aeon V3.  All with AV switches and the Initiate has windows.  All told, I've scored some sweet grab bag deals.

[scifidude79]

The Sentinel has some slight marks in the finish, which you can kinda see in this pic:

It turns out much of this was actually dirt.  I dampened a soft rag with tap water and some liberal rubbing took it off.  I'm thinking this may have been one of their demonstration hilts at a con and someone handled it with dirty hands.  But, it's all good now.    There are a few minor scratches, but that's what you expect when you order grab bags.  However, it looks much better now, and quite fantastic for $55.
