Me. Stilling thinking about it, but I'm 80% sure this and my gf's daughter's Initiate will be my raffle entry. I'm having trouble making up my mind for a blade color and an AV switch color. I think the CR would look good in SY but the SY mix doesn't always come out well. I don't want either of the blues on a red saber, and green would just look like Christmas too much  . I'm leaning towards DVA with the AV switch being silver (I wish they did a purple AV switch). Thanks for the DotD heads up, Brian! |

So my raffle entry is pretty basic, but it IS my first ever Obsidian Saber. DotD Dark Prophecy (was hoping that the Dark version would come after the regular version and it did, yay!) in FO with a Guardian Blue FoC and AV switch. Hoping the Blue/Orange contrast looks cool on a black saber. Good luck to everybody!

Was thinking that a 2 tone prophecy black and high polished silver aluminum would look so good. You could probably take the dark prophecy and polish up sections of it removing the black ano and shining it up for a killer look. A little Dremel action with some buffing compound.

Ha - snap Prowl! I was briefly looking at the DVA CR, though with a Red AV switch.
I got a little caught up trying to work out how AV switch lighting worked on an obsidian saber (I'm more used to the Emerald options), and in the end decided I already had enough reapers.
I have to say, I think the anodised red on the reaper looks a lot better than the red on the other crimson sabers. In the photos I've seen anyway.

Got myself the new Dark Mantis. I was looking at buying an Overlord the other day, thinking "I wish they had a curved hilt", and the next morning I found out the Mantis was out. About a week later, I'm sitting here with my DVA Mantis. It was just pure luck it was in time for the raffle. XD  Also, damn these things are bright! Couldn't keep the blade in the picture without the whole screen turning into a purple blur. XD And I think...I think if I win the Grand or the Emerald prize, I might get a pair of Reapers. If I don't get the Emerald sabers, then they'll probably be in Consular Green with Emerald Green flash. Or maybe I'll get one Crimson Reaper with Guardian Blue/Arctic Blue FoC and one Azure Reaper with Blazing Red/Pyrestone Orange FoC. Of course, the couplers would look a little odd...maybe I'll stick with the black Reapers. |

Well! . . I wasn't going to enter the Summer raffle . . but guess what popped up on DotD, that was at the top of my 'Want' list?! The Graflex CE! ( the perfect companion to my Chosen One CE! ) It was too good to pass up! And as everybody else is going to be all 'Mantis'd' up for the next couple of months? (and U.S. has limited stock!) I can wait a little bit for one of those.  I went with all the bells and whistles, Emerald Driver RGBW, Blue A/V switch, Obsidian sound and recharge port, it will be awesome!  Besides?! Theres a small chance that I could pick up something in the raffle anyways!! Heres Hoping?! *crosses fingers* Best of luck to everybody else who's entered!  |

I did see a pic of one in SRD and it looked really good, it's not so green as to look Christmas like. SY would be a good color for it, if you can get a good color mix. On mine where I got a red flash I got a really good yellow. It was the one with the silver flash that looked greenish. I don't know if the flash color had anything to do with it, just some extra information. |

I'm not sure how to get around the inconsistencies with it though, other than a 2-channel (R+G) or 4-channel (RGBA) Emerald driver. It's nice of you to put your gf's daughter before your own wants, however Not that you don't already own most of the US catalog when it comes to sabers |

\ I have noticed that as well, going from the US stock photos. Prowl, you could always pick up a Dark Prophecy as well... You're just trying to distract me from rummaging around in your garage for you CE version. I'm lucky for my first order which is it, I participate in the raffle at the same time.
Scorpion with Sound (Emerald)
That's a fantastic first order, great job jumping in with both feet to start off. The Scorpion is a massive saber, but lots of fun! Good luck in the raffle! I like the idea of the Crimson Reaper in SY. I'm not sure how to get around the inconsistencies with it though, other than a 2-channel (R+G) or 4-channel (RGBA) Emerald driver. It's nice of you to put your gf's daughter before your own wants, however Not that you don't already own most of the US catalog when it comes to sabers I still haven't gotten an Emerald saber yet, all of my sabers are regular stunt or sound ones. I'd really like to win an Emerald saber so I can find out first hand what I think of them, if I really like it then I will get more in the future (I am addicted as you guys know, lol) Plus I'd like a chance to do a review on an emerald saber so my subscribers or other non-forum members that watch them can learn about the Emerald option and how to use it. I love doing my saber reviews. I'd probably get it in SY if I knew the mix would be good, but SY is very much a hit or miss color, I really don't want it to be greenish or reddish or even golden. I prefer a sun yellow or canary yellow color. I will probably go with the DVA option and ask for a really dark purple. Entered woot! I wonder what the odds are like? Came here at a good time. Congrats, man! What saber did you order? |
