Ok so this is my first review I have ever done so I hope I do alright. The YouTube clip got cut short I'm not sure why but I was pretty much just rambling anyway so it probably isn't much of a loss, this was my first attempt at uploading to YouTube as well.
I'll start with my entries for the raffle. I got the initiate v3 in GB and an RGB Manticore. I absolutely love these sabers so far. My first impressions were that the manticore was a little thick for my hands and the 4 switches got in the way a little but as soon as I played with it a little I quickly adjusted and now it doesn't bother me anymore. The initiate on the otherhand was instantly comfortable and is perfect for an off hand saber with the shorter blade. So far the only problems I have had is that when the batteries get low on the manticore the colors stop mixing so I had to immediately go buy rechargable ones. I will do a more indepth review when I have used them for a few months.
Now on to my first prize, I got a AS Guardian w/ silver AV switch. This saber is freaking amazing and huge. It is almost to big for me to use it with 1 hand and if I was fighting anyone besides my 4 year old son I would defiantly need to use both hands. That being said this is an amazing saber and I just love the sound I almost wish I hadn't received a saber with sound because now I am going to never be satisfied with a stunt saber. I just installed the sith fonts and I am excited to explore the others. Again I will do a more indepth review after a few months. My next purchase will be another initiate v3 in VA for my daughter sometime this week (assuming I can get the rewards points for this review) again sorry about the shortened clip, once I figure it out better I will try and fix it.
