Saber Forum

Hi all.  The raffle ends tonight on August 13th.  Some members have already received their entry sabers and are awaiting the raffle results.  This is the place to post your photos.  Also it's the thread for those that were not fortunate to be receiving a surprise saber... but still have a great to amazing new saber/parts for their collection.  These need to be shown off !  Lets not forget to include all those freebies for specific purchase levels.  :)

Please do not go into extensive details as this is the Gallery section.  You can make another thread if you want to converse about your raffle saber entry in more details or/& post in the You & Your Saber and Your Saber threads.

I have not received my saber package yet... so someone else please share.  :D

Just ordered my new saber over the weekend! *Crosses fingers intensely* Do you know how long it usually takes for them to announce the winners?

This should help.  :)

My Dark Prophecy I got for my first ever entry into an Ultrasabers raffle.

I've posted these before, I'll put new ones up soon:

Oh this prophecy is a beauty... really liking the silver/gold accents and that red LED. 

point for starting us off and good luck with your raffle entry  8)

Ooh, point for the share. The Prophecy is a sweet and slick saber, no matter if it's a regular one or a dark one. Like D7 said, I like the added silver accents.

Point for the share, Darth Davester. Point for the great reminder that tonight ends the raffle, Dauntless. I just ordered my next saber and can’t wait to receive it!

Thanks guys!

Points all around and good luck everyone!

And I have the VA FOC also and it looks amazing!

Point for sharing!

Been wanting a Dark Prophecy in Blazzing Red for a while now. I actually considered taking it to enter the raffle for a long time but went for a 200$ Guaranteed Sound Mystery Box instead (because if I got the Prophecy I really wanted it to have sound and my funds were a bit low).

Violet Amethyst FoC must look nice on it indeed...

Have one back!


I look forward to seeing your review

This was my raffle entry, and FIRST Ultrasaber ever!  The Crimson Scorpion!  It was a tough choice between it and the Emperor's Hand, but I think I made the right choice!
I got it with Tri-Fire Orange light, Obsidian Lite Sound, and a Heavy Blade for fighting with my nephews (who all have their own Ultrasabers!)

Good Luck to everyone!

Just received my new saber. The consular with diamond controler. This light saber is so awesome that I felt in love instantly. With a little luck this will be the winner  ;D

I so like this saber... almost got the exact one with the Tri-FO.  Likely would not have chosen the claw.  Thanks for the pics as now I know what it looks like with that color of blade.

point  8)

I hear that this is such a good comfortable dueling saber.  I have the emitter and pommel which look great on other MHS sabers.  There are some photos of the shroud being used on other sabers... likely in the Customization section.

point  8)

I've always loved the Consular since it came out.  I bet the Diamond controller is amazing with it.  The Consular is on top of my saber list to buy.

 A blue Consular!  Excellent!  Good luck in the drawing!  Maybe you'll have a companion very soon!  :-)

Great looking entries, everyone. Points all around. :)


Do it! You won't regret it. I got one in a Flash sale last year, and it's sweet.

I have to say that this is one of the best light saber for dueling. It fists in hands like nothing else. I had more sabers in my hands but non of those sabers was as good as this one. Until now I had as primary lightsaber bellicose.
I’ll check the photos. Thanks! 🙂

Consular with the diamond controller is the best thing in the whole galaxy  ;D absolutely worth every penny. I really love the way how can you change whatever you want so you can have your own unique saber

So when UPS says "by end of day" they mean it. My sabers just arrived.
Here's what I got for entry:
Spectre in SY/FO obs V4, all the trimmings except covertec on emitter. I don't know if I like the shroud or not, I'll give it a little bit before I remove it.
$75 MB- Apprentice V4 LE in GB with windows, A/V, and a 36" Blade (?not sure why?). We all should know what will happen to this in my hands. Still with the blade it still comes out to $100, so worth it

(https://i.imgur.com/B2Q32mi.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/tw9Zdwa.jpg?1)
(https://i.imgur.com/E8W3BM7.jpg)

I'll do more pics and a review of the Spectre once I take a few days with it.
Overall very pleased even though the Apprentice was missing it's blade retention screw. I emailed, they'll take care of it no doubt.

Beautiful sabers you have there, DB and you have the Sentinel Yellow on the Spectre!  I would of built my Spectre the same as yours minus the etching. Have a point

Love that Spectre. Just gorgeous. The Apprentice LE is hot too. You got a 36" blade because you chose that. The MB order page lets you order different lengths of blades.

And, yes, UPS gets there whenever they do. Last one I had delivered came at 7:21 PM, giving me only a few minutes to open the box and check out the saber before leaving for work. They didn't even hit their own 4 hour estimated window of between 3 PM and 7 PM.

That Spectre is amazing.

At first, I wasn't too keen on the engraving, but your pics changed my mind.

Wow!

+ point

Point for sharing! Such a nice looking hilt. Will have to consider buying one for myself.


Point for sharing! And thank you very much for the detailed pics of the Spectre hilt (I already wanted one but now it just feels even more necessary ;D)

Gorgeous consular Hreeik!

Wow DB, that Spectre is a thing of beauty!

The top saber was my (lucky!) raffle entry, which I got to compliment the bottom saber  :)
This is the analogue for:


As I've said, those of you familiar with the Fan Fiction section will recognize the names of the sabers  ;)

Sweet sabers Dutchman!  Nice!  :-)

The shoto that put you in for the big win! Love it!

That is beautiful. Point.

Just got shipping notification for mine (raffle entry and prize)... Pictures to follow soon :)

So excited!

Well, here they are!!!

Great looking sabers, thanks for sharing. :)

Here's the Spectre that got my foot in the door...

Thanks for the share.  Noted that you got a fine dark side saber with the MB lol.  ;D

Just noticed below your avatar that you are wanting light side points... so will need some assistance from other members to take away those dark points and get you to 8 light points.  :)

Gumby, I have to say that your Initiate LE with the AB blade is my favorite from your collection.   The Apprentice in AB looks amazing and the Overlord is quite nice in VA as well but the Initiate is my fan favorite.  Have a point.

This was my first ultrasaber ever and my first raffle.

I ordered the Crimson Scorpion with Tri-Orange light, Obsideon Lite Sound, Heavy Blade, and blade plug.

I was also blessed to win a prize in the summer raffle.  I won a 4th place price (grab bag saber) and can't wait to see what I got!

It will be delivered tomorrow.

Thanks Ultrasabers and Emory!

Sweet looking Liberator!  I will be happy if I get one of those from my prize grab bag!

Great looking entries, guys.  ;D


I got one. Fortunately, you replied, because I added to the DS point count he had, then I saw your comment and quickly fixed it while it was still fixable. ;)

Thanks MN1!!! I can’t believe how balanced the liberator is!! My wife just loves it.

Hi all.  Finally was able to pick up my large US box from UPS facility.  Long story... happier ending.  Here is the box for ooh's and aw's ... Master Medwyn this one's for you !  lol  ;)


(https://i.imgur.com/bbsphRn.jpg?2)


Ordered a stunt Aeon v3 tri-blue, av switch;  stunt Sentinel tri-green, av switch;  and for myself a LITE dark Sentinel tri-red, av switch, covertec wheel.  All sabers have an additional retention screw placed on the top opposite to the primary one.  Reason is that the two stunts after some customization are gifts for my physical and kickboxing instructors at the gym I go to.  There will be some heavy sparring and it looks like many of the instructors are interested.  Who knows... as a result perhaps some lightsaber class will come out of this.  :D

This is my haul... note the size of my free t-shirt... holy geez it's a size 3x !!!  :o  I could fit a few of me in there lol  ;D
It's going to be a great tablecloth or something.  The free v2 Initiate is in GB.  I'm sure with the multiple ones that I have that I should be able to put together a nice compact staff.  Love those Renegade pommels.  

So the pics are overcast daylight and then lights out.  One can see the difference in the tri versus the regular LED mostly when the room is darker.  The blades are 36" UEHG.  :)

Great looking sabers there, Dauntless.  What are the plans for the ones you’re keeping?  I know the instructors will be  psyched when you gift those sabers to them and I’m glad the whole shipping debacle got sorted out. Have a point

Awesome sabers, D7. I love that pic of the Pops on the box. Also, that's nice of you to give the gift of Ultrasabers.  ;D


:o Did you forget to put the size in the order notes, or was that all there was?

Thanks Inf.  First I want to put my attention towards customizing those gifts.  Just a little wear and battle marks and reduce all that pretty shiny silver.  May place a different pommel on the Aeon perhaps the War Glaive that I just got and also will give the option of a Prophecy pommel switch out if they want more stream lined but still weighted for counterbalance.  Actually I have some extra UEMG blades as well so will share.   I'll post the results under Customizations but have to finish them soon as they are excited to get the sabers.  :)

Now I have to haul out all my saber stuff that is in boxes... that cleanup didn't last long.  ::)  :D




Thanks SFD.  Actually I asked for a size large in the " sexy " version as I have another one like this in the large.  Would have included with the gifts.  I don't know what else to say or what that packer was possibly thinking.  :-\

Yeah, that shirt is way off of what you wanted. Maybe they got orders mixed up when packing. There could be someone somewhere who wears an XXXL that is looking at that Large shirt going "what the f---."

Well then I guess that there are x2 of us going " what the f--- "  ;)

Those all look great D7! It’s so awesome you’re giving some away as gifts. I only wish I had that kind of willpower.

Thanks gum... you have some fine sabers from your order as well.  point for the share  8)

Over the years I have accumulated way too many sabers for one person.  My physical trainer just about lost it with glee when I told him about this hobby and brought a few customizations to the gym to check out.  Then the kickboxing instructor also became a starry eyed kid again... not that they are that old but both are solid Jedi.  They had never seen or held quality light sabers before.  So what else could I do but to bribe them in such a way that perhaps they will take it easy on me for future workouts lol.  ;D

Good stuff, Dauntless!  I love all the group shots that show off just how different -- and yet similar -- lightsabers can be.  :)

As good trainers, they won’t ease up on you but you’ll probably be their favorite client. Lol.   You can always duel with them though, that may scare them  ;D

LOL... they already think that I am a Sith Lord... so who am I to shatter their delusion ?!  ;)

Sparring for sure... but these guys are a foot taller than me.  I'm practicing with a 36" HG blade.  :(

Thanks to everyone who shared (quoting all the posts might be a little too much)! Points to all of you!


Now I just realize I forgot to mention my size in the order notes. Knowing I already often find it difficult to find my size in Europe (where sizes are usually smaller than in the USA) because even though I'm pretty average in height I'm very skinny...
I'm guessing mine will be great for camping  ;D
I'll see tomorrow I guess

I'm not sure but I kinda think that it said " random t-shirts " which could mean the slogan.  But one would think that choosing the correct size would be allowed... if not what's the point of going for that level.  Perhaps buying one would be better.  I can't even give this one away because of the huge size... but the shirt is all cotton so will try to shrink it somewhat.  :-\

My entry was a Shock:

Obsidian V3, Sunrider's Destiny blade, silver non lit AV, 32" HG blade. This has been on my wishlist since I first found Ultrasabers, and I'm stoked to finally add it to my collection.

With my 2nd place prize:

I personally think that your Shock and Emperor's Hand go well together as a pair, complementing each other.  I recommend dueling or cosplaying with the two.  I know I would, point.

I don't duel. Or cosplay, for that matter. I do have a Jedi costume, and I would gladly carry either of those sabers with the costume.

Wow SFD... you did really well with that prize !  I want that EH saber at some time.  The Shock is my favorite saber and MHS swap out hilt.  If I hadn't been specifically Titled... I would have wanted the Shock Order.  One thing I don't understand is why US often places the covertec wheel in the middle of the hilt grip section.  :-\

point for the share  8)

SFD, you are the man!

The Force was with you!

Point for the share SFD! These two sabers do go well together. Congrats on the win!

Thanks a lot, everyone. :)

@D7: I don't know why the Covertec is located there. Many of the prequel trilogy sabers had it in the back, towards the pommel. For my purposes; it shouldn't be an issue, though.

Congrats SFD, two nice strikes you got there, and with complimentary colours too!

have you remembered to update your signature txt yet (not that you're counting!)

point inbound

But we are!  Lol. Point to both of you.

I hadn't at the time. I posted these pics and then took a shower so that I could go to work.

But, it's all fixed now. And, yes, I actually counted sabers recently. Including empties, I have 31 total, 19 of which are Ultrasabers. (soon to be more of those)

Congrats there, SFD! 

I'm still very far from that...
All hail the mighty collector!

Heh, I know a few people with a lot more sabers than me. ;)

This is the first raffle I've participated in and I won third prize! Here is my entry saber: a diamond controller Dorinian. My current favorite font is AB with silver FOC. I created a slight silver flicker on idle to make it look more realistic!

(https://i.imgur.com/Xyv65BS.jpg)

(https://i.imgur.com/FCGDIOj.jpg)

I love it. That's so on my wishlist. (it keeps growing as they release new stuff) I see you went with the canon setup, with the top button black and the bottom button red. Very nice. I love that blue, it looks sweet.  ;D

It actually came the other way around but I knew I wanted a red diamond knurled screw and a black straight knurled screw. The first thing I did was swap their positions. I may personalize it with a different pommel, but I wanted to make sure I had the option to have a Plo Koon replica  ;D

Cool, good stuff. I don't know about swapping pommels, though. That ones is a work of art. ;)

Oh, without a doubt. But I've always been a fan of vintage flashlights and the original Ralph McQuarrie lightsaber designs, so a low profile pommel looks pretty sweet on the Dorinian IMO  :)

Yeah, I hear you. I also love the old flash sabers.  ;D

Great looking Dorinian there, Lokan. I have to say that your build is by far one of my favorite Dorinians to date and not because you kept it canon but because it’s so classy looking.

Thank you so much! I favor a clean look, and when I held this one for the first time it just felt right.

Got an email from Emory this morning that my entry saber shipped! I’m ecstatic!

Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing what you got, and what you chose for your top prize.

Very nice saber. The blue is perfect with it IMO. Thank you for sharing!

Happy for you. Let us know when you get it.  ;)

Thank you!  I sure will!  I've been updating the tracking religiously. I checked this morning and it's in FW so I should be getting it sometime today.   8)

Just remember to let them knock, count to ten (OK, maybe five) and then open the door. When you throw open the door just as their foot hits the first step, it startles them. If you already have the main door open and watch them through the storm door as they get the parcel out of the truck and head up to the door with a look on your face like a kid on Christmas, it weirds them out.

(speaking from experience)

Good to know, I also found out that opening the door while open carrying or having my 1911 in my hand also freaks them out.  (I'm a Marine so everything is suspect to me until proven otherwise, dead serious as well, it's a habit that I'm trying to kick)

Don’t feel bad Infinit, I was born a raised in a friggin war zone and it took me half a decade to stop carrying my Springfield with me everywhere, especially the door!!!!

I don't feel bad, once you experience something for years, your mind and body reacts and behaves different to things.  I can't pop or listen to fireworks now nor can I be around huge crowds of people like I used to and not feel as if I'm about to be attacked or ambush. 

Glad to know that I'm not alone though   ;D

I'm ok with crowds...Usually I am the one planning the ambush...(kidding ;D )

On a more serious note, I understand that a little. My sister has PTSD (use to be a nurse in humanitarian aid) and even if she sees something about to make some noise and expects it she still can help but feel like running for cover. Can't easily go shopping on her own and even with someone there always comes a time when she needs to go home.

It's definitely not fun, but it looks like she has great support from you.

And other members of the family (my parents had four kids)

Support goes a long way, I know by experience. Kudos to you and your family.

I got my order yesterday (just didn't have time for making/sharing pictures)

My entry in my very first raffle was actually with a 200$ Mystery Box and I won 4th prize (free Grab Bag). So basically, I knew I had two sabers coming my way but had no idea what they were except that one had sound for sure and the other didn't.

My Mystery Box got me:
Aeon V4 with LITE sound, Guardian Blue with Silver FoC, Windows in the emitter and Non-Illuminated Silver A/V Switch

(https://i.imgur.com/Gp7Bz1X.jpg[img][img]https://i.imgur.com/egz2mi4.jpg)

Very happy because it's almost the same as my very first US saber (except the first one was in SRD with AB FoC and had a Green-Illuminated Switch)

Sweet! Not only does it look great, but it goes nicely with your prize too.  ;D

It does indeed. Glad I got a blue and a red saber.

You beat the odds of getting the polar opposite of your saber which is cool to me.  The Force was with you, CruentoNox!  So, are you going to make two staffs? Or just one?

It could be luck, or the Force. Or maybe, when they were putting sabers in the prize levels with orders, someone saw the Aeon and decided to give that order the opposite saber. :)

So true and if it was the latter, kudos to US once again for the thought behind that.

I haven’t opened my package yet since I had a gig last night until late but will have a reveal sometime today

Right now I only have one basic coupler. But I intent to take a better one with vents in my next order. Since I have two stunt sabers with the exact same hilt (Dominix LE V4) I'll probably use them as a staff and use the future coupler with vents to connect my two sabers with LITE sound also with the same hilt (Aeon V4).

All of that may change depending on what else I add to my next order... Whatever happens I still have to learn a lot in Single-blade combat before I can truely manage using a Double-blade in a fight.


Even if that was the case...One could still say it was the will of The Force if that person got to be in charge of choosing my prize.  ::)


Can't wait to see what you'll have to show us.

Thanks Nox! The AB is what I have on my Obsidian font setup. It just fits so well.

My entry saber, the Aeon V4.  Bear with me please, it's my first unboxing and review video of any kind.

! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJGnSMyk9Ho#)

Hey!! Good job brother!!! That’s a beauty!!! I love that hilt. That choke point just calls to my hand for spinning purposes. Plus one for your first review!!+1

Thank you, Gumby!  Members like yourself, Scifi, and Draddog inspired me to create a YT channel and do it. The Aeon is such a great saber, that and it's partner the Dominix are my two favorite original designs from Ultra Sabers so far.  Please subscribe and stay tune for more!

Great video, bro. I love the Aeons, in case you can't tell. Adegan silver is a great color, you should see it with a black and silver hilt sometime. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing that when you get it all painted. 8)

Thank you, SFD.  That means a lot coming from you since you're one of the few that inspired me to do so!  Agreed, the Aeons are exquisite sabers and my only regret is that I took this long to own one!  You're right, I'm really happy with the AS color, it's one of those colors that you have to own and see it in person to really appreciate it!  I will check it out in black and silver hilts, you haven't steered me wrong yet!  Will post pictures once I get it painted.  ;D

These all came in last week. It's been pretty hectic in our house - work, sick, kids starting school, kid starting college, a birthday... you get the idea. So here are the sabers I bought in August -

And the Emerald Prize winning saber was....

The barnd new Spectre with all the trimmings, Obsidain v4 and Sunrider's Destiny.

Nice group of sabers there. I really like the Spectre fully decked out with options. :)

Agreed

The consular is great but there's just something about that Spectre. And I believe it's the first one I see in SRD which makes it really special.

Point for sharing!

The Consular is my favorite but the Spectre in SRD makes it that much more alluring.   Point.
