I have never seen a more gracious winner. 
But I need to see pics of that Crimson Reaper.  The red anodizing in the video looks great. 

Here are some pics for you, Molina









The Raffle Shock next to my Shock (mine has the orange AV)





Can't wait to see your sabers, Magik!

The colors on the Reaper look great!  I especially like the blue AV contrasting the red anodizing.

Still not a Reaper fan, particularly the anodized colors.  Jedi would laugh at you if you whipped that thing out.   

Loving those Shocks though.  At first, I didn't really consider that to be a hilt that I liked a lot, but it's grown on me.  Very classy and regal.

It's actually a silver AV switch, the purple light from the blade is shining on it in the pic.

I was on the fence about the Crimson Reaper, it was further down my want list, but I decided I wanted something different and took a shot with it, the second it was in my hands though I fell in love with it (you can see it in my unboxing video).

The Shock LE is a fantastic saber and it looks great in orange, I bought mine in FO several months back as a raffle entry because I thought the orange would look great with the gold on the hilt (and it does!).  It's not that my Raffle saber is bad, quite the contrary, it's a fantastic saber Emory sent me, it just happened to be a hilt/blade color combo I already had before hand.

I bet that Shock LE pommel would look good on my Aeon LE V3 also, since it has the same gold anodized lines on it.  I'll have to search the picture threads; I bet someone has posted pics of that combo since it just seems to make sense.

Anyone else get a raffle package in today?  MORE, MORE...

I got you covered, good buddy!

Nice. Looks good. I was wondering about that because the pics on the site make the shocks gold look a lot darker than the aeon, initiate etc. btw FedEx shows my order should be here Saturday so I'll post some pics as soon as I have the sabers.

Hi guys...

My sabers came in today and I'm completely stunned beyond all belief!  I mean first off, my twin 4ch Emerald Dark Initiate LE V3s are everything I could have hoped for...  And they span like a dream!  Yep... Darn toot-en  I took them out and gave them a whirl!

The Initiates however, were not a surprise.  I did a lot of research before deciding to make them my first saber purchase and knew what I was getting.  Their pictured below in staff form with an adjustable coupler...





If grab bag sabers are meant to be a surprise, then this one succeeded beyond all measure.  That is to say, I absolutely love it!  I mean really, with the possible addition of claws and Obsidian sound...  WOW!  It's a War Glaive hilt with what I believe is a Raven pommel and... (Score!) ...a Mantis emitter machine for claws.  

Oh...  And I've decided that I'd deftly like CG!



Now here's the real shocker...  My first place prize is a complete mystery, a saber that I have never seen before...  And I absolutely FLIPPING LOVE IT!

Here's what I know...  Obsidian sound, 2ch Emerald in RG...  One piece hilt construction, and I'm guessing its overall size is similar to the Aeon V3.  I can also say that it is very comfortable in hand, and with the forward choke point, it's surprisingly easy to spin.





Now as to speculation...  I was either lucky enough to be given a one-off, or granted the privilege of being one of the first to test and review an upcoming new release from Ultra Sabers.  Either way, I am incredibly overjoyed with this saber, and will post a proper review as soon as possible.

...To Deep and Ultra, I give my heartfelt thanks...  It's happy dance time!

Oh... um...  My apologies for the poor photo quality...  I had to take these using my old video camera...  Don't ask.  
But if you can bear two more pictures, here's all my new arrivals together in a family portrait...  There will be more!





...hear sithy, sithy, sithy...  WOOSH! WOOSH! WOOSH!

[Sciggs]

Man! I'm jealous of that new saber, it looks like it might be a V4 release of one of the standard blades (Initiate, Aeon, etc), especially since you said it is a one-piece hilt construction. And your initiates look super cool! Nice score, all around.

[Prowl 1701]

That's a heck of a grab bag you got!  A full premium parts grab bag, you lucky devil!!!  And that new saber as you prize, wow!  Color me impressed, I'd love to do a review of that beauty.

[julmax]

I truly am stunned with both, Prowl...  But this new saber is just, WOW!...  Simply WOW!

I'll try to do you proud when I post a review for it.  Though I'm probably going to have to go buy a new camera tomorrow, damn it.

[Darth Burgaar]

First off Julmax, WOW!! 

Nice pick up with your Prize sabers! I'm in Awe at your . . Manti-glaive-er? and the uber looking one piece 'Mystery' saber! Seriously Cool! 

But I also have a question for you? Did I read correctly that those Initiates are 'EMERALD' driven? do they have sound too? 

The reason I ask is because I was under the impression that it was not possible to have the emerald driver In the V3 initiates?

Regardless! I'm looking forward to any reviews you do on these in the near future!  Point Awarded with Gusto!

Hi Darth Burgaar,

Yes, there are in fact 4ch emerald drivers inside those initiates...  You can spec them out as one or the other, but not both.  Most likely due to the size restriction of the hilt...  But that's something I'll go over in detail when I post a review.

Coolies! I'm looking forward to that.
