I have to say I like all of the promos. Free grab bag & free initiates are always good at prompting me to buy, as long as there is a saber I want on Deal of the Day during the promo. I've also taken advantage of the discounts on sound/emerald/recharge ports when available, as that usually saves me a lot more than whatever the DotD discount is, but combining them with DotD is pretty sweet.
I consider myself to have been very lucky in the raffles so far having won twice, but not everyone can win a raffle prize.
Postage to Australia is expensive though - eg, today's order is US$96 for postage - so the promos add some needed incentive for me to buy. Actually, I'm not sure why postage was so much today, since a single saber order is usually under US$50

Same here for my postage to europe. I think it is because of the weight/size of the curved saber. Normally, a single saber shipped to france is somehow 40 US dollars but when it comes to curved and the Malice, it goes up to 80 USD. Ah anyway...i'll buy a curved in orde to enter the raffle...or the Azure Reaper wich is on m top wish list for ages ! |

Okay, everyone needs to thank me for the Mantis release... I did say I'd probably change my mind about (not) entering the raffle if the saber with that cool, smexy new emitter was released... Looks like Emory wanted me to enter the raffle! (J/K) ...but I did enter the raffle.  Nice one, Brian - your post is how I found out about the Mantis  I'm giving some serious consideration to going for one myself. I'm torn, especially as the first ones aren't likely to ship until after the raffle is over, so there won't be any reviews etc. Still, we'll see... And yeah, the raffles are a great incentive to jump on board. Even if you don't win, the sight of all the prizes that people do get is just fantastic  |

Just pulled the trigger on the Manticore CE! Can't wait to have that beauty in my hands. Nickel plated in BR w/ SY FoC. I asked for the SY to more on the amber side, so we will see what happens. So excited though!

You dirty dog you! I'm SOOOO jealous! I'm saving for one right now but too far away to get it. Maybe will have the funds in a couple of months? BR will look incredible with the nickel, and the SY FoC - perfect CANNOT wait to see yours sedsti! Did you opt for an AV switch? |

Right under Blade Option, you can choose nickel plated finish or high polish silver finish. Your Manticore CE is nickel plated is it not? |

BR will look incredible with the nickel, and the SY FoC - perfect CANNOT wait to see yours sedsti! Did you opt for an AV switch? Yes! Always lol. I got a non-illuminated one this time (a first for me) because I thought it would look more streamlined and I'll be swapping LEDs back and forth since any color will go with this hilt. Oh shoot me now Lol ... I've been spending so much time talking about the Mantis over the last day that I misread the order. My bad...
It's ok, Brian. I'm sure that Mantis is all you've been able to think about since you ordered it haha. Can't wait to see it when you get it. You'll probably be the first (once again ) |

I have decided to forgo eating for the next month and have a Mantis CE incoming as my raffle entry.

Only problem is I don't need to lose weight. I will be emaciated and unable to lift the thing.  |

I'll buy it off you with a month's worth of pasta, rice and noodles. I'll throw in some bread and maybe even some fruit, too!

After a month of not eating I might take you up on that. But for now I shall bask in the shiny, silvery awesomeness.  |
