HERE ARE THE PHOTOS OF MY RAFFLE WIN AND THE SABER I ORDERED (I was a second place winner)
hi guys so here are the photos of the saber I ordered GUARDIAN with sound and adegan silver with color discs (chose color discs because I really wanted yellow and the ability to change colors and I must say I was expecting it to be much more dim with the discs and its still quit bright) I love it. the great thing is they gave me a ton of discs which is awesome, cause I can really play around with the colors lolol when I made a pink blade my fiancée freaked out and said she wants one now .... lolol love it makes Christmas shopping a little easier this year. they also gave me a free button upgrade, I wanted to try to cut costs as the saber is pricey, (but worth every penny) so I went with the standard guarded switch and they gave me the silver non illuminated switch which looks just so cool.
MY RAFFLE SABER:
I love the raffle saber that I got for two reasons: 1) it just looks so cool and stream lined with that pommel, and 2) my first saber was the same hilt and now all I have to do is buy a coupler and I finally have the double bladed saber I always wanted ....talk about luck.
THE SABER IS a standard issue battle saber v3, but man is it fully loaded.... its fire orange which looks totally mean and awesome, it has amazing sound, I don't know the difference between the sound boards so I couldn't tell you which version it is, it has flash on clash which I have never had on any of my other sabers, but will now be ordering on all my hilts, cause it looks so cool. and they added the catalyst pommel which is the nicest pommel for this saber in my opinion.....I cant believe I got this thing for free.
the best part is that because my original battle saber v3 is red and the raffle v3 is orange all I have to do is add one of the red discs to the raffle v3 and I they are almost identical red so when I put them together with the coupler its just gonna look so awesome.
Congrats on your new Sabers! They look great. That's nice that you go the Catalyst pommel on your Standard Issue. I would say overall, that's my favorite pommel for most of the V3 / V4 type Sabers. Enjoy! |

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

My second order, and the prize it won me:  Dark Prophecy (entry) and Prophecy (prize)  The Dark Prophecy has a Sunrider's Destiny blade, the Prophecy comes with an RGBW Emerald driver  Given that I fell head over heels for my first Prophecy, to get a double helping today has left me feeling very, very pleased; That the prize 'sabre was so stocked is just the (very generous!) icing on the cake  |

Big congrats James. Was wondering which raffle entry was the keeper. Will look forward to seeing even more colored blade photos from you. Am creating my request list and it's a long one. 2 new Prophecy sabers. Will there be any left for the rest of us ( guilt intended ).  |

There does seem to be a lot of them getting handed out this time, huh? I wonder if there's an upgrade in the works - a revised hilt to take both sound and Emerald cards, so they're clearing the existing stock?
And I'll do a review over the next couple of days with lots of photos. I've come up with a couple of cool custom colours already - a pale sky blue, and a sick looking toxic yellow. I'll have to have a look down in the Emerald section to see what other colours folks have come up with.

My raffle entry, the Manticore. Dark violet amethyst with Bane's Heart FoC. It is even more amazing than I had imagined. Bane's Heart is unbelievable in person so now I want that on any dark saber. The 4th place grab bag I received is a Dark Prophecy in Violet Ameythst with covertec on the right side. So grateful! These are awesome.  |

Congrats to you ArkieRuthie for two fine sabers. Doesn't BH make an outstanding FoC. Next photos please take with the blades lit up if possible to get a decent pic. |

I was a little unsure but am so glad I did it. Photos with the blades lit were just not working this time for some reason. I couldn't even get close to any color on the blades and tried several different lighting situations. Probably my crappy phone. Edit: Got better pics! I tried one more thing and it worked. Here are all of my sabers, obtained in about one month. This is gonna be a bad habit for my budget.  L to R: Raffle entry--Manticore w/DVA Dark Standard w/AS + discs (orange, of course, at the moment) Aeon V3 in CG 4th place price--Dark Prophecy in VA The DVA and VA look very similar here but in person there is definitely a difference. DVA appears to have more of a blue-purple tone. |

I actually asked Emory a couple months ago if there were any plans for a V4 Prophecy! He told me there was nothing in the pipeline, but there's always a possibility they might revisit that. My take? Having thought about it since then - I'd be surprised if they did, since they were sort of stand-ins for Anakin / Vader sabers and they now have both the Graflex and the Chosen One. But they could always surprise! |

To caveat on the current subject.....I attempted to purchase a Dark Propecy hilt with 3-holes (empty) for plans on building and customizing. He wrote back saying they were out and there were no plans to get anymore in. Now, "empty hilts" not configured ones. (So there's no confusion)  |

Well there goes my future plans to request a custom built dark Prophecy stunt RGB. With the new 10% off saber deal I may have to get the sound Prophecy that I have been wanting. Have some US credits that are itching to be used but so many saber choices to distract me.
ArkieRuthie. Those lit sabers look super. I'm a purple blade enthusiast with SRD a close second. Am pondering a Prophecy in HP. +1 point for you.

Nice score. I see the covertec wheel on your Prophecy is mounted on the RIGHT (of the switch). Was that by request or it just came that way? Is there a hole on the other (LEFT) side?
(I'm curious to see if US actually stocks Prophecies currently with the hole only pre-drilled on the right as opposed to the left).
Some come with the covertec on the left and some come with it on the right. It is interesting to note that the two holes on the upper part of the hilt (one lets light shine through) are always on the opposite side of the covertec wheel. One of my Prophecy hilts came with the wheel on the right and the other two had it on the left (I send them back and had it moved.) Watch my review for a better explanation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXEDlWz1vuU |

(Why some are one side - others the opposite.) Just curious . . . |

hi guys so here are the photos of the saber I ordered GUARDIAN with sound and adegan silver with color discs (chose color discs because I really wanted yellow and the ability to change colors and I must say I was expecting it to be much more dim with the discs and its still quit bright) I love it. the great thing is they gave me a ton of discs which is awesome, cause I can really play around with the colors lolol when I made a pink blade my fiancée freaked out and said she wants one now .... lolol love it makes Christmas shopping a little easier this year. they also gave me a free button upgrade, I wanted to try to cut costs as the saber is pricey, (but worth every penny) so I went with the standard guarded switch and they gave me the silver non illuminated switch which looks just so cool.
MY RAFFLE SABER:
I love the raffle saber that I got for two reasons: 1) it just looks so cool and stream lined with that pommel, and 2) my first saber was the same hilt and now all I have to do is buy a coupler and I finally have the double bladed saber I always wanted ....talk about luck.
THE SABER IS a standard issue battle saber v3, but man is it fully loaded.... its fire orange which looks totally mean and awesome, it has amazing sound, I don't know the difference between the sound boards so I couldn't tell you which version it is, it has flash on clash which I have never had on any of my other sabers, but will now be ordering on all my hilts, cause it looks so cool. and they added the catalyst pommel which is the nicest pommel for this saber in my opinion.....I cant believe I got this thing for free.
the best part is that because my original battle saber v3 is red and the raffle v3 is orange all I have to do is add one of the red discs to the raffle v3 and I they are almost identical red so when I put them together with the coupler its just gonna look so awesome.
Here you go Alexandersith, thought I'd fix your photos for ya Some great sabers you got there +1     |
