Saber Forum

I know people have already started receiving their sabers for the second spring raffle entries, and some have even gotten their prizes already.  Lets post pics in this thread for all to enjoy.  Thanks Ultrasabers for another awesome raffle.

Sweet, I was actually going to start this earlier, but totally forgot haha. Thanks for setting it up Spidie!

Hopefully I'll be posting on here tomorrow!  :)

My 3rd Place Prize

Aeon V3 LE in Emerald Green
Although it seems to be perfectly between Emerald Green and Sun Rider
New Color Perhaps?

This one does have just the standard batter setup being supposedly a Grab Bag saber.

That looks a lot like my mixture of Emerald Green. Maybe there was just a bit too much blue put in, which is what happened with mine. Experimental colors aren't always perfect.

It is a nice turquoise, isn't it?  :)

^yes it is! I really like it. Must be near identical to yours.

Looks tremendous, Sky - another colour to add to the wishlist!

my second prize:

Dark Standard Issue Battle Saber v3 in BR

Alright, first is what I ordered to enter the raffle.  My 2nd Dark Arbiter with Lion setup and 2 24" blades, and a vented coupler to complete my Dark Arbiter staff.  It comes in right at about 6 feet with the 24" blades.

I'm thinking a DVA MLS unit is in my future for this bad boy as I already have 2 GB sabers.  Thank you so much Ultra Sabers

Received my Second Place Spring Raffle 2 prize today - a Reaper in Blazing Red, midgrade blade, with Li-ion batteries and standard charger.  Sweet because this was one of the sabers on my Wish List.  Will be sending this in soon for the "MacDaddy" upgrade...   :o

This was my raffle entry:  Dark Standard Issue Battle Saber v3 - Vertical Grooves Edition - Adegan Silver with Blazing Red FoC, Obsidian Sound with Silver AV, Li-Ion with Buckpuck, Recharge port, silver covertec, UltraEdge midgrade blade.  I just happened to have a couple of Dark Arbiter pommels laying around and this one looked so at home here...   ;)

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-lTuTUHoOxSA/UYBTlOriW5I/AAAAAAAABYM/gP6St-9B8Fo/w742-h419/IMAG1491.jpg)

Nice shot of the covertec & recharge port.  Got the nice Guardian style port too...my favorite!   :o

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RG9Ly11z6dk/UYBTlCSNZ2I/AAAAAAAABYM/GcBdMWH1Ca0/w742-h419/IMAG1493.jpg)

I couldn't decide what color blade I wanted, so I ordered it Adegan Silver to test out the Lee Filters.  This is "Lime Green."  It is most definitely lime green too!

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZlF3IOdSa44/UYBTlIE_-DI/AAAAAAAABYM/t5qWQ2jrrEk/w253-h451/IMAG1495.jpg)

The red FoC comes out a bright yellow-orange and shows up well with the lime green blade.  Was wondering how that was going to work out...   ::)

Well I'm certainly not complaining about winning, not by a long shot.  Just looking at the 1st and 2nd place pics I'm not sure the difference in what I got and others.  Still, damn nice and I'm happy with what I got.  I'm not positive, but it appears to be an Aeon v3 with obsidian sound and recharge port in Consular Green.  The blade is... pardon my noobdom to the US world, but different.  Its shiny silver not the grey color of the other sabers I've got.  I like it, I'm just not sure what blade type it is.

Then there is the lovely saber that got me the win to begin with... the Manticore staff.  Sound, quick disconenct, silver illuminated AV on one to single weild, and just the basics on the other, both in Arctic Blue.  The vented coupler can make it just a bit difficult to weild, and the overall weight is slightly heavy.  That said, I have given it a decent twirl or seven already.

As soon as I have some time, there will be a link to some videos as well.  Much thanks to Deep an US.  I'm simply in awe of my new toys.

Here is my order and raffle prize.  I ordered an Archon in SRD with a yellow AV switch, silver FOC and a vented coupler to give the cool lighting effect. The prize is the awesome Malice! Red with orange FOC (I think) and an orange AV switch. This thing is huge! I love it! Thanks US!!

Mine will be delivered today some time, and I am really nervous as to what I'll get based on the huge variance in the first prize sabers..

Really hoping for a higher end saber :\

Will post pics when I get home to them

EDIT: Okay so I missed the delivery, and will get them tomorrow instead

It's a standard mid grade blade. I only know this because I ordered an ultra edge on my Shock and the Dominix came with the silvery one like yours. I've since switched the standard mid grade over to my Shock because I really love the way the Violet Amethyst looks on that blade as well as how the blade looks when the lightsaber isn't on. The silver of the blade really plays well with the silver and gold of the Shock hilt. 

I will have my counsler tommorow along with my first prize saber i hope whatever i get has sound and iluminated button would love for it to be a manticore or an archonv2.1 but id be happy with whatever I get the suspense is killing me.

Well if its a first prize saber you will get sound for sure, hilt and other features are random.  From what I've seen so far though everyone has gotten an illuminated switch unless they have gotten an Aeon or Dominix hilt, in which case they have gotten a recharge port.  No matter what though, any free saber with sound is a huuuge win.

Exactly! I didnt care which one I got since its free and its well over $200!!! You cant be disappointed over a free saber. Ultrasabers has been very great to us and have gone above and beyond any service I've dealt with!

EDIT: its also a win if your wife stole your first prize and claims it as hers I guess  :) :P :-[

The suspense is killing me I cant wait to get my sabers tommorow and post pics.

Here's my first place prize. An Overlord! :o In Consular Green!

ULTRA SABERS RULE!!! 8)

^Nice luck ordering non sound and getting a First prize with sound.

Got my sabers today, I received my raffle entry Shock in BR with silver FOC. I also received a Dominix LE with recharge port. I was so surprised to see how awesome the Domi is, it is pretty big and is so comfy. It is so loud too.

It may not be a 'model' saber, but definitely a win for me :)

will post pics later when it gets darker

Well fed ex just came I got my raffle entry counsler in counsler green with silver foc and green power button my first place price was the saber I last bought lol Dark standard v3 but the 1 I bought had vertical grooves only if they added the vertical grooves I could have made a staff I think i am going to pay it forward and give my first place prize away to someone as I laready own this saber but with vertical grooves foc and dark shock pommel it does have a recharge port on the 1 I won but im not a fan of recharge ports takes away from the look of the saber. I just want to thank emory for the prize and ultra sabers there will be picks to follow. got to charge the batteries.

You could still totally make a staff dude, the saber will be symmetrical in weight and length, just not in looks because of the grooves.  This might make it a little more unique though.  I'd say get a coupler and try it out.

it would cost me money to get the staff to look decent as the one side is srd and the other cg and no vertical grooves on the 1 Im just going to pay it forward to someone cause it dont blend in with what I have Im really anal all my sabers have iluminated power buttons on them but i must say the non iluminated does look really nice on this saber I got the werst luck I had a feeling I was going to gget something I already bought loll.

That is really cool that you're doing that, man! Someone is going to be really thankful for such a wicked gift, plus you'll have someone to duel with!

Your luck is better than you think  ;)

Congrats!

Agreed. You get a dark side point for that.

Here are my raffle entry the counsler in counsler green and my first prize dark standerd v3 in counsler green with recharge port.(http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh177/angelo07stang/IMG_0259.jpg)[/URL[URL=http://s256.photobucket.com/user/angelo07stang/media/IMG_0261.jpg.html](http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh177/angelo07stang/IMG_0261.jpg) (http://s256.photobucket.com/user/angelo07stang/media/IMG_0259.jpg.html)

Well the kid that works at the local video game store im friends with is getting my first place raffle prize I know hes a huge starwarsfan and when I called him he was excited

That is so totally awesome that you are gifting the saber! Make sure you give him the disclaimer that collecting Ultrasaber's sabers is a very addicting and expensive hobby! ;)

Maybe post a picture of the giving so we can see his reaction?

You rock!

That's awesome, truly - I don't know if I could ever be generous enough to give away a 'sabre like that. I have a feeling that even if I bought one for someone else, I'd have trouble handing it over  :D

Can we be friends? lol :D

Sure lol

My Archon in EG/AS has arrived, and along with it, a Guardian in GB/BH - yes, Bane's Heart flash! It came with a guarded momentary switch which matches the hilt and style completely. Though I prefer the illuminated AV switches, the feel of the guarded momentary on the finger is far superior.  That flash with GB is by far the most outstanding, noticeable flash I have ever seen yet. Pics and vids are coming of everything! Stay tuned!

Thank you Emory and Ultrasabers! The Guardian is an amazing hilt and I'm very thankful for this awesome prize!

Damn you got the best first prize ever congrats buddy so awsome both sabers are on my want list.

Here are some teasers for this thread. I'm posting reviews soon so I'll continue the fun there!

The Guardian in GB/BH

The Bane's Heart Flash - So much more noticeable than AS, and AS is no slouch in the clash color department.

And slapped together with an Overlord with the GB/AS MLS that I got. Those are 24" UE Initiate blades. Whoop! My Archon snuck in there too and provided a little Emerald Green ambient lighting.

This is truly a wonderful prize and brings my US saber collection up to 5 sabers with sound and FoC! My Padawan loves it too, and the first thing out of his mouth was "It's Guardian Blue! Daddy, what's that clash?". He called it red, but his eye never caught it like the camera did above! It's a cross between what I saw as Violet Amethyst mixed with what I saw with Blazing Red. It's gotta be Bane's Heart!

A HUGE thanks to Emory and Ultrasabers for this awesome raffle prize!

Daaaaammmmnnnn... That is a gorgeous 'sabre, eerock. Great photos, and a beautiful 'sabre.
