Saber Forum

Figured I'd get this started since I hadn't seen it yet.

Please post pics and/or vids of your raffle entry and prizes. Let's see what everyone got. Even if you didn't win post your entry order.

Luck wasn't with me this time, no dice in the raffle. But I won a 4th prize last time so I can't complain too much.

My entries:

1. A Spectre in SD with lite sound, and an illuminated white AV switch. I think I also got silver flash on clash, but I don't want to wake up the family by checking haha. I'm in love with this saber. Even my mom admitted that it was pretty cool.

2. 3 mystery boxes in varying flavors of Dark Apprentice. One of them does have lite sound though! So that's awesome! I'm now the dark apprentice master ;) with four of them. I'm thinking birthday gifts for my other star wars inclined buddies (keeping the sound one for myself though haha)!

Very nice! What colors are they all?

jldavi, nice Spectre and as for the three Dark Apprentices, the same thing happened to me with Dark Sentinels last year. Three in row, a grab bag, a MB, and a raffle prize. Did you at least get different blade colors? Point for being the first to share

Thanks LR, can't wait to see photos of your prize  ;D!!

DB: Two Guardian Blue, one Consular Green. Not the end of the world, that happens with Grab Bags and Mystery boxes sometimes! Plus like I said, one of them had sound, so can't complain.

Sabers are in:

Excellent stuff there, DB
I'm looking forward even more to seeing my own Initiate V5 hilts now

Nice Dark Savior though =] I really do like the new Aeon V5 pommel, might have to get me one just because. Would look sweet on any Savior I think :P

The luck was not with me this raffle but I absolutely love my entry, Spectre in GB. This is one of the coolest hilts from Ultrasaber!

It looks excellent with the blade plug from my butcher pre order too.

Great Sabers, DarthBoneTD and Dwolf96!

I just got confirmation that my orders and prize saber will be shipping on Monday, so They'll likely be here Wednesday or Thursday :D Excited to put my pictures up with the rest of you guys'

Great pics everyone!

DB, that's unfortunate about your Initiate, but great that you got in touch with Marlena right away. :)

Gorgeous saber Dwolf. :D 

I look forward eagerly to the incoming pics. :)

Points for all.

Dwolf that is a great choice, no engraving looks so slick. Point for the share

Thank's  Rapine, like I said it my first problem and they responded so quick to help get it back. Now I did find out raffle prizes are not covered under warranty, but since it was not working properly out of the box it definitely was not anything I did. It should be in perfect working order when it arrives, so this is a special circumstance and it's covered. Maybe it's great customer service or maybe it's because I'm a fairly good customer, but the service I receive from ULTRA SABERS is some of the best I've ever had and that's from day one.

A couple pics of my entry and raffle prize next to my first saber, the Scorpion with Tri-AB, for scale.  Also with less babies.
(https://i.imgur.com/Ri32Sps.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/rs0g6SA.jpg)

Entry is the Chosen One SE with Tri-BR and v4 sound.  Love the windows option in this saber but decided against it since I wanted to stay as true to ESB Vader as possible (minus the nuances in color).  It handles pretty well within my limited skill set and is much lighter than the beast that is the Scorpion.  I like the standard Darkstar font for Vader but will definitely be looking to get more: probably one with Vader breathing in addition to the hum, and another with some Vader lines.

Raffle prize is the Dark Initiate LE v5 with 4-channel Emerald, v4 sound, and a recharge port.  I initially thought it was a 2-channel driver from the prize listing on the US website and on the raffle thread but after reading DarthBone's post about his prize I thought maybe he made a typo until I finally had time to download the software and start playing.  When I saw those 4 diode adjustment slides, it was like winning all over again!  It was pretty much the same for the recharge port which I missed on first inspection.  This was INCREDIBLY generous by US giving away so many of these!  I can't thank them enough.  The current set up has Hot Pink (i think) with VA FOC.  It is light as a feather and if I had any combat skill at all, I could make this thing fly.  The grip for me has no slip whatsoever and is a cool design as well.

Can't wait to see Darth Bone's prize when it comes back and any other pics that get posted! Those Spectres are awesome!

Great pics HanSoloVoltron!

Nice. The Initiate V5 seems to be about the same length as the Chosen One

Awesome take HanSolo Voltron!

Just a note:  Two channel Emerald drivers haven't existed for a couple of years now actually.  It's seeming like the raffle text gets copied and pasted...lol

Everyone who has won one, has gotten four channel. :)  So score eh?  Like you said too - extra little surprise. :)

Looking slick man. :)

+1

Congrats to everyone on their great entries, and those who have joined the ranks of the victors!

HSV,
Nice score huh, now we need to get chargers.

That's what I thought Rapine, you could pay $60 to guarantee 4 channel and V4 sound or leave it chance. Then I thought about the last time I actually saw a 2 channel driver as a raffle prize, I couldn't remember. I'll call it fate, but non the less it's a bonus.

Haha yup.  That hit me yesterday.  A price I'll gladly pay.

Thanks Rapine!  Mystery solved I guess.  I figured US was just using the raffle to unload any leftover stock they had from back when they still sold them.

I think it might be slighly longer than the Chosen One or else the blade rests lower in the hilt in the chosen one.  When I lined them all up the Chosen One had the shortest reach.

I like your understated version of the spectre Dwolf96 :)

Entered in with a $75 mystery box and a $200 mystery box... Absolutely in love with all 3.

1.) Graflex with emerald driver and sound! Already having fun playing with all the sounds and colors!
(http://i.imgur.com/01shwF0.jpg)
2.) Liberator v3- Green with silver AV switch
(http://i.imgur.com/DrsuO9T.jpg)

3.) And my 4th place prize: Sentinel LE v5- Orange with silver AV switch
(http://i.imgur.com/2CAiQgi.jpg)

Upload your pics to imgur.com is the best way. Pics or it didn't happen! lol Especially the Emerald Graflex... CE or SE?

Thank you! Just posted the link... It didn't embed the picture, but the link is there. And it was the graflex SE.

you have to use the BB formatting tags [img*][/img*] (without the * ; I put that there to ensure the coding wouldn't try to post a pic that didn't exist) and then get the direct link to the image from imgur (not the link to the page where it's posted) then remove the "s" from the https tag at the beginning and place it in between your img BB code tags et voilà!

Awesome! Thank you!! Pics added

You're welcome! :)

Very nice! Gratz especially on your Emerald Graflex SE with recharge port! That's quite a steal :D even the stunt version of a Graflex is more than $200

Some really spectacular entries everyone, keep em coming!  :o

Thanks Lacer! I wanted a Spectre that was pretty close to kanan’s saber to add to my canon inspired collection

I received my very first Ultra Saber today (on the right - Graflex CE w/ Tri-Cree Arctic Blue and Obsidian V4 sound) and a first place raffle prize to go along with it (on the left - Initiate V5 with a 4 CHANNEL EMERALD driver, Obsidian V4 sound, and a recharge port to boot).

Wowowowowow I am so impressed with both, but the Emerald Driver saber is sooooo cool. When I first fired up the Initiate, it was slowly cycling through lots of colors and had flash on clash and pressing the button again got me the cool sizzling light effect - just wow. I can't wait to dive into programming this beast! The next saber I order is going to have the Emerald Driver in it for sure.

I'm blown away by everything. On this grotesque blizzard day in the midwest, I want to thank Ultra Sabers for hosting an awesome promo and brightening up my whole month. Thanks and congrats to everyone else!

Very nice, Garbage Boy! Gratz on your win

Great score garbageboy!

Right on. :)

Awesome haul Metcalf!  That Graflex is such a huge steal!

Congrats on the first prize garbageboy!  I'm a huge fan of mine so far.

Nice Sentinel V5, Metcalfb!



Congrats on the win, garbageboy!  Awesome Aeon V5

Quick question. Since I got my 1st recharge port with my prize saber, and it's currently "in the shop", does anyone know if they are 2.1mm or 2.5mm ports they are using? Trying to order my charger and not sure. Usually I'd just email Marlena, but I've bothered her enough this week.

FAQ section on the US website says 2.1mm.  You going fast charge or slow charge?  I've been tinkering with mine so much I've killed the batteries twice already so I'm probably going with fast.

1.2 smart charger for sure HSV. Thanks for the quick answer. Point

Make sure the voltage is correct DB.

4.2v chargers use the same 2.1mm ports.

You'll want a 8.4v one (or something).

US does sell them:  link (https://ultrasabers.com/product/1-2a-smart-charger-for-recharge-ports/).   ::)

That's a beautiful Savior you have there, DBTD. I like that DVA blade you have on it!  This is by far my favorite iteration

Yup that's the one I'm getting. But I did not know that, you are full of good info Rapine. Thanks


Thanks bro. It's going to find a spot on my wall of fame. I think it may even get a custom blade.

That's a beauty DB and looks especially sharp with that pommel.  Is that an entry saber or a prize saber?

(https://i.imgur.com/Gyo0cZR.jpg)

Entry: Graflex with diamond in guardian blue.

Prize: I’m not sure what model in blazing red with li-ion batteries

This is the back of the charger to verify

Looks to be a Dark Apprentice LE V4, Broba. Nice little hilt.

Newest acquisitions from Ultrasabers

At the top is the Sentinel LE V4 stunt in Guardian Blue that came as the 4th prize in the Winter Raffle
Below that are a matched set of Initiate V5s with Obsidian Lite sound in Sunrider's Destiny with Adegan Silver Flash on Clash

Along with the sabers, I also ordered a Fire Orange LED to put in my Bane as well as getting a free blade plug and t-shirt

Beautiful sabers, Therion!  I love the SRD sable on your new V5 Ini and congrats on the win!  Great review once again

Thanks, guys.
Me, I'm looking forward to creating the staff from the V5s

OKAY! Here they are! Had to contact customer service though because illumination on Savior AV switch isn’t working and one of the catalysts for my Bastila staff ended up lime green instead of sentinel yellow.

Unfortunately I had to contact customer service though. AV on the Savior is supposed to be illuminated and both Catalysts are supposed to be sentinel yellow (one you can see in the picture ended up lime green)

Holy crap that flamberge is huge!  Congrats again!

I'm a tiny person which makes it look even more gigantic XD it comes in either 36" with 6" crossguards or 40" with 8" crossguards. This is the smaller option XD And thanks! :D

Already customized the correct half of the Bastila Catalyst Staff and the connector to give it more depth and character

The pinks you have pulsing on that Flamberge are so cool!   8)

I'm in love! lol. I may or may not have since programmed my diamond Savior to be able to do the same thing XD

Now that's what I call a fast delivery - the sabers made half the way around the globe in just 5 days - which is quite impressive, I think  :)

The pack contained two hilts: Dark Menace with Emerald driver (set to Fire Orange) as the entry (my lightstaff is complete now, yay!) and Initiate v4 LE in Violet Amethyst with AV switch, soundboard and recharge port (the 2nd place prize). I tried them both out and everything works just fine. Happy with the purchase, as always - thank you, UltraSabers!

Have a look on the pics below.

Right on STR4N6ER. :)

Nice score.

Congrats, Lady Revan!!

I like your Flamberge even more then, Lady Revan =] To be honest, I know somethings wrong with it, but I kinda like that lime green mistake color for some odd reason :P Maybe it could become a new blade color somehow Kinda like how Nero made Emerald Green possible, just an idea on that though :P Flamberge for the win though >:D

Thanks! ^_^

Thanks! :D

The lime green isn't a bad color (I believe you can actually order it as a forum color) but since I got the sabers for a Canon character staff and the staff is yellow... It's kind of not useable :P Marlena got ahold of me today about the fixes, so I'm checking a few things and then might have to send the Savior and Lime Catalyst back for fixes :/

Glad to hear they've gotten back to you, LR
Your work on the 'correct' Catalyst is looking good

Thanks! Until I can find a decent combat ready Bastila design, it's going to have to do me. I can't find proper emitters anywhere and I've searched 5 different of the "other guys" sites looking for them too :( Closest one I found only came in brass color >.<

Likely as close as you'll get without some custom work

Yup :( In the meantime, I'll just keep spamming the suggestions thread with it XD Would buy it up in a heartbeat!

Love the saber LR! Do anything cool with the diamond software yet?

Not yet! It’s been crazy busy so far this week and I’ve not had time to reprogram gesture recognition or play with custom colors yet. I might load in some of the fonts I made for my diamond Savior though :) need some mute files other than the Adegan Silver for if I’m attempting to be remotely practical with it lol

VIDEO!

Sorry... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSyLkLPE7E0#)

Nice. I actually do like your Flamberge V2 set up then =] Looks huge though x.x

It's pretty big, but I'm also a tiny person XD It's actually shorter than the Raven SE and Scorpion with their claws.

Great pics and vids, everyone. Those are some awesome entries and prizes. :)

Nice video LR, thanks for sharing!  My wife commented that the pattern on your hilt is especially beautiful.  I hope the azure omen comes back in stock someday so I can get that one with the similar hilt pattern.

Nice entry and prize sabers everyone. Congrats once again

Indeed.  

Excellent pics everyone. :)

Great score LR!  That looks wonderful.

-1

Holy crap LR!  That thing is nuts! 

Thanks! :D


I know! The pattern was what drew me to the V2 specifically for the cross guard sabers. The omens have the same pattern, but black on silver instead of silver on black (personally I like the silver on black better, but they're both GORGEOUS designs!).


TY


Thanks! :D Another interesting thing is that it has screw in blades instead of retention bolts. I remember that was a suggestion in the suggestion box thread once, so maybe it's more do-able than we thought o.o


I KNOW! Biggest issue is not injuring myself changing fonts XD If I hold it with the crossguards up and down instead of side to side it seems to work out better. Will just take some adjusting to.

Got my 1st place Winter raffle saber back from repair.
Initiate V5 - 4ch Emerald driver, V4 sound, recharge port. Not bad for a free saber. Paired with my 3rd place Fall raffle prize, oddly an Initiate V5 turned dark.

I mailed it out last Monday and it was sent FedEx 2 day and I got it back Saturday. Kinda got side tracked with the new costume. Once again great CS from the whole US team.

Nice pair of initiate V5's DB.  Do you plan on further customizing the new one?  That pommel looks great on it by the way.

Sanding on that Dark Initiate V5 really brings out the details.
Nicely done

The Flamberge V2/Omen hilt body is so nice. I'm kinda moving to a smaller hilt size in my collecting, not sure what I'd do with one but I want one(Dark Omen) all the same lol.

My purchase for entry was a Raven SS. It's beautiful. With my entry into the raffle i won 2nd place
I won a Azure Butcher. It's the most incredible saber I own. Love Ultrasabers!!! Thank you so much..

https://youtu.be/elVH53qVPFA

Definitely. Not sure yet what I'll do, but I'll be trimming the claws back since I really like the look and feel and don't like the inverted claws that much.


Thanks Therion.

Darth Bobalicious, from the way you are switching the fonts on your Azure Butcher, that looks like a Diamond controller, did you pay to upgrade it?  Otherwise that is the most epic 2nd place prize I have ever, ever seen!!! :o

DarthBone, I am starting to agree regarding the inverted claws looks because after seeing some better pictures, they don't sit flush when inverted.

Edon,
   I didn't pay for any upgrades. Lol I'm not sure what's in it. I tried to plug the USB into it then plug into my computer, but the plug doesn't seem to fit into the saber. And I'm afraid I'll break something if I push to hard. Lol if it happens to be a diamond controller that would be Epic!!! If not, it's still Epic. This is the first win I've had since a $27 lottery ticket in 1993. Lol

It has

Windows
Yellow lit silver av  switch
Silver FoC
Recharge port

Sound fonts - color
Darkstar - Yellow
Sith-  Red
Ancient Saber- a different shade of yellow
Episode 1 - Blue
Episode 2 - arctic blue
Episode 4 - Sun Riders Destiny
Episode 5 -Violet Amethyst
No sound
Silver - Obsidian sound.

Well you definately hit the jackpot on this one my friend because that is a DIAMOND!!!  It uses a micro USB so if you have that just make sure you hold on to the female connection on the board for additional support when you plug in the cable and you should be fine.

(https://d3d71ba2asa5oz.cloudfront.net/12022012/images/mini%20b%20vs%20micro%20b.jpg)

You will need the Ultrasabers launcher on you computer.  It can found in the below link on the Diamond Database section of the forum depending on whether you have Windows or Mac.  Lots to learn with it but endless customization possibilities, enjoy that EPIC prize on a fully loaded beautiful Azure Butcher no less!!!  WOWOWOW

That's awesome! You lucky devil you! Congratulations! :D

   Edon,
         I guess I need to buy a recharge cable and a micro-USB.
Then the fun can really begin. Thank you for the information. These 2 sabers are my first with sound. I got premium sound on my Raven. Which was easy enough to figure out with the Windows download and install. I was really confused when the USB wouldn't fit in the Butcher. Lol that would be totally amazing if I really got a Diamond saber. 😎😎💪🎁. I'll have to keep up to date. Not even 3 months into my newest hobby and I need more hours to buy more ultrasabers. Lol

   Lady Revan,
     Congrats to you also. You got an epic win to. You handled your saber better than I would have. I would've actually hit myself in the face with the cross blades. It would've been funny either way. And thank you for the congrats.

Thanks! It took really thinking about where I had the crossguards placed lol. I might end up using it for a cosplay later, once I get more comfortable wielding it. Character I picture with it is a Miraluka... so I would also need to have eye wraps XD Much comfort with saber is needed first...

Nice.. There isn't to many places to cosplay in hillbilly central Pennsylvania, unless you want to go to philly, NY, or Pitts. lol  For a few years now I wanted to find the karate uniform I had from 30 years ago and wear that and my saber for Halloween and if anyone asks me who I am, ill tell them Darth Bobalicious, the most agile, uncoordinated, overweight Sith Lord on this side of the empty space where Alderaan used to be. lol

XDDDD That would be an awesome Halloween costume!
