Title: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: BenPass on July 27, 2012, 06:55:52 PM As the title says, I received a Dominix for my grab bag saber. A Dominix V3 specifically! This is my first grab bag saber, and I bought it with the reward points that I received for reviewing my Arbiter. On a side note, does anyone realize how lucky that Arbiter has been? It was my ticket to the raffle and won me my Dark Prophecy V3, and now the review of it got me a Dominix V3!
Okay, so on to the review of the Dominix V3. The color of the blade was set to random, and I received Guardian Blue! Now, for those who have seen my custom build, you know how much I was surprised with and love the Guardian Blue color. Normally I'm a green guy, but the Guardian Blue is just so incredible. Bright, as expected from US, and just plain cool! The blade is a standard midgrade which I ordered. MGs are my go to blades for the weight and brightness. Silly me didn't think to ask for the 40 inch blade, but hey, that'll just be my next order right? I knew what the hilt would feel like when I saw what it was due to the fact that my brother has a Dominix V3 as well. It is a VERY well balanced hilt, and the choke points feel so natural. I didn't know (for sure) what the standard setup batteries would be (though I suspected AAAs). It is four AAAs, but I picked up some rechargeables today so that's great. I'll write some more later, but I just wanted to show you all and let you know that I love this new saber!!!!

Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Kham-Ryn Kurios on July 27, 2012, 07:12:08 PM Very nice Grab bag, a V3; that's a win. ;D
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Darth Rifter on July 27, 2012, 07:31:46 PM That blade almost looks photoshopped.
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Darth Dau Kho on July 27, 2012, 07:33:19 PM Solid grab bag for sure! Wonder if this means they are out or almost out of red and blue sabers. If so, I'll be ordering a grab bag soon with my reward points!
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: BenPass on July 27, 2012, 07:45:39 PM Looks great. Let the customizing, begin. ;D Exactly...I've been trying to decide what sections to sand lol. Very nice Grab bag, a V3; that's a win. ;D Oh yeah, I wasn't expecting that at all! Really glad :) That blade almost looks photoshopped. lol, that was just an unsteady hand. The blue shone through nicely though eh? Solid grab bag for sure! Wonder if this means they are out or almost out of red and blue sabers. If so, I'll be ordering a grab bag soon with my reward points! I'm wondering TBH...could this be a sign of more to come? Thanks for the comments all! Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Darth Dau Kho on July 27, 2012, 08:13:08 PM If that is the case then I'll definitley be picking a grab bag up soon :)
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Vex on July 27, 2012, 08:45:19 PM Excellent grab bag! I'll be ordering one soon as well!
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: LordBane10 on July 27, 2012, 09:24:59 PM Nice. So US is now giving out V3's for Grab Bags? Makes me want to go for one. :P I will wait until I get the Bane and rewards points though. Since its 300 points worth, do you have to use say like a debit card or whatever? Thanks. You going to send that back in for a sound upgrade any time soon?
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Lionus on July 28, 2012, 03:21:46 PM Nice Grab bag! I really want to get a grab bag, how ever I know with my luck I would get stuck with a red or blue... Blackis always gonna be my chosen color!
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Veldryne on July 28, 2012, 03:24:46 PM dom v3 in a grab bag!! sweeet!!!!
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: haldir on July 28, 2012, 07:19:41 PM nice pick up! i know this is off topic but since yall are talking about the 300 reward points let me go ahead and ask,
isnt 300 reward points supposed to be 30$? i redeemed my 300 video review reward points and only got 15$ Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Veldryne on July 28, 2012, 07:21:38 PM it changed a couple months back, it was 10 points = 1$ now its 20 points = 1$
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Darth Rifter on July 28, 2012, 07:51:54 PM 20 points = $1? What a total rip off, that will only pay for shipping.
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Big Boss on July 28, 2012, 09:00:55 PM 20 points = $1? What a total rip off, that will only pay for shipping. Really Rifter a rip off? Ultrasabers doesn't have to give us anything, but they choose to give us something unlike other big companies like hasbro. :-\ After all something is better than nothing at all. ;) Also nice grab bag ben. Makes me want to try for a grab bag if all those color hilts are gone. :D Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Darth Rifter on July 28, 2012, 09:06:57 PM I'm sorry Boss. It is just that I don't know why they changed it. It made me a little sad to know I would getting half than what I thought, but hey, they still give us free store credit.
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: haldir on July 29, 2012, 02:53:58 AM every time i see someone post their grab bag saber it makes me want to get one too! :)
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Adak Cyrnoc on February 03, 2013, 03:21:04 AM Really Rifter a rip off?

Makes me want to try for a grab bag if all those color hilts are gone. :D well it depends on how you look at it... you want a stunt saber, you come spend around 100 bucks and get your moneys worth. you want a saber to sit on a shelf that has sound, hasbro, master replica is the way to go... Dont get me wrong, US has awesome sabers with sound (I have enough of them) but the phase blades are so hard to walk away from, not to mention you get a free stand with every saber Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Adak Cyrnoc on February 03, 2013, 03:23:00 AM my bad, I didnt realize until now that this is an old thread
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Zren Tobas on February 03, 2013, 05:58:19 AM I actually didn't see this post. Nice Grab Bag. makes me want to go for one just for fun. Random color and Heavy Grade blade.
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: swords4two on February 03, 2013, 10:17:28 PM NICE a V3!
Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: MolecularAuto80 on February 14, 2013, 04:28:58 AM Really Rifter a rip off?

Makes me want to try for a grab bag if all those color hilts are gone. :D Yeah, I second the notion. 20 for $1 is still a pretty good deal. And you're right, US doesn't have to do it. They do it because it's a nice thing to do (and it promotes more business, but you know...). Title: Re: Grab Bag Dominix! Post by: Zren Tobas on February 14, 2013, 04:58:12 AM Nice Grab Bag score. The Dominix V3 looks good in Guardian Blue. Kind of a rouge Jedi feel.
