Summer Raffle pics thread, post pics of your entry and prize sabers here!

Awesome!  The Chosen One is great score!

I might be one of the last people to get their sabers but I finally got them.  First, this is my entry saber. It is a 4channel Emerald Manticore with sound and 36 inch mid-grade blade.




For the past three months the only saber I had any real experience with was my 4 channel crimson scorpion with sound and a 40 inch heavy grade blade. The Manticore with mid-grade, while still being built solidly, feels so light and is great for spinning. Now for my first prize saber…

It is a Dark Arbiter with sound that I had upgraded to a 4 channel Emerald. Having them upgrade the saber is probably the reason for the delay.



And now for the bad news. The same day I get my first prize saber I lose it.


My daughter now calls it her plasma glaive.


She named it “Naginata” and I’m not going to argue about it. (Pick your battles)

[julmax]

Ya win some and ya loose some...  But congratulations on managing to keep your Manticore!

[Ziran Le]

Oh NO!

Darth Teenageious strikes again!!!

 

Seriously though, Dark Arbiter is a killer prize...
...for a little girl!

Congrats on the manticore, it's a great saber!  And congrats  to your daughter on her new dark arbiter, lol!

I've actually had these sabers since last friday but have been a bit preoccupied running them in to get any photos to put up on this here forum.
So here is my entry saber, a Shock with 4-channel emerald. I've tuned that to a very nice yellow.

And I was pleasantly surprised to see that my raffle 4th prize was a Prophecy in what I assume to be Sun Rider’s Destiny.

Great sabers and I like how they match the wallpaper.

Nice sabers!  The shock and prophecy are two of my most comfortable hilts.

Lately, since having seen so many "alternate" colors, I've really started to appreciate orange, yellow, and SRD.  Before, I was more of a traditionalist with my color choice, but those colors look awesome.  I'm now running a yellow filter in my AS Liberator that I got in a grab bag a few days ago.  Roscolux color swatchbook should be here tomorrow and when it arrives I'm going directly to the orange/yellow section to begin my mad experiments.

Nice sabers, Jammy, I love both of those...and like you, when I have sabers to play with, I neglect the housekeeping!

I really like Bane's Heart,  it's a fun color and looks good on my first Prophecy.  DVA is pretty sweet too.

[Ziran Le]

Yeah, I'm drawn to purple for sure, that's why I ordered VA on my first saber (Aeon LE V3).  When I got it though, it's less richly purple than I had hoped for, maybe a little too pink for me but maybe that's because it's a standard 4XAAA battery setup instead of Li-Ion.  I know that DVA is darker and more blue but I didn't know about DVA when I placed my first order yet, haha.  I want for "my purple" to look like the hue in julmax's signature photo.  Maybe they could make that a new color and call it, "Windu Jelly" since it looks like grape jam.

Bane's Heart I'm not so sure about since I find VA to be a little too "pinkety pink."  I bet it's eye-catching at night though.

My sabers arrived today!

First is my entry, a Dark Initiate v3 LE in GB with a sound, blue av switch, AB FOC, and a covertec. I chose it because I like the free Initiate v3 LE I got so much that I wanted another one with an illuminated switch and a different color scheme. 



Next up are my two Emerald Prize sabers, both Guardians with Emerald, sound, and unlit AV Switches. The Guardian had been one of my most desired sabers for a while, and since I won this prize I figured I'd get two of them so I could dual wield or make a staff.

[Ziran Le]

Beautiful!   Congrats on the big prize!  Nice choice.  All are jealous.

[Greywalker83]

Nice man. Had I won that prize that was exactly what I was going to do. Maybe next time.  Congrats man

[Prowl 1701]

Those are some nice guardians, great choice!
