Ultrasabers Winter Raffle 2016/2017 Winners

[finntheirish]

I am speechless! I never win anything and first place prize is awesome! I have a prophecy v3 stunt that I love, but I really wanted sound because I always feel lame when I pull out my saber and turn it on and the guys saber next to me starts spitting out light saber sounds and mine just goes click. Well now I will have two with sound! The one i ordered and the prize! I can't wait to see what I get. I'll be sure to post my sabers! Can't wait to see what I get as the free initiate either! Two free sabers for the price of one! (Well one and a dual weild)

Thank you so much UltraSabers and the community on here that let's ultrasabers do stuff like this by buying enough sabers to make raffles possible. I have been an ultrasabers guy from the get go of my Jedi life contrary to the advice of many my fellow jedi around. In addition to the great hilt selection, quality builds, and great customer service, it is things like this that really makes ultrasabers special. I hope to pay it forward in some other way to make somebody else as happy as this has made me! I wish more companies could be like this.

Congratulations to all of the other winners and to those who did not win this time, I wish you luck next time. This is what makes it fun!

Absolutely blown away! Been looking to buy a saber for some time now. Did quite a bit of comparing and spoke with several friends who owned some already. Came down to this company and one other. After looking at the designs and attention to detail on these sabers, it was no question. Ultra Sabers was definitely the way to go. It wasn't until I decided to go through here I discovered they already made the saber styles I was looking for! Bought Fulcrum and Lost Gray.

Then, to discover there was a raffle going on. First saber purchase and my first time ever winning a raffle! Grand prize even!  I was already sold on Ultra Sabers. But then to get to experience this kind of customer appreciation/devotion first hand? Forget about it. US is the only place to get sabers. Thank you for an incredible introduction to the wonderful world of saber ownership! Absolutely gained a customer for life.

Now I get to get my next saber a little sooner than planned. Time to start looking for my next, next saber I guess...

My first raffle, I had 3 entries and won nothing.  But, and I think this is an important distinction too few make, neither did I (or you) "lose".  There was no extra expense to enter, no fee to enter.  You just got a chance to win by buying stuff that you wanted to order anyway, so literally nothing was risked and therefore could not be lost.

Absence of something does not necessarily denote the opposite of that thing, so in this raffle, there are no losers, only winners and satisfied customers.

Really well said and my sentiment exactly.

Hi there, friend, aka Ultra Sabers Emerald Prize Winner! Look at you! Congratulations! I LOVE that you won! I really do. I also really liked how you thanked Ultra Sabers. It was perfect! 👌 You said very well what I clumsily tried to say. Lol. They're a great group of people down there in Friendswood, Texas.

Thanks for the congrats, too! I feel very, very lucky AND awestruck, just like you.

You've got some big decisions to make.    have fun thinking that over - I shall eagerly look forward to hearing your plans  

(quick tip: the sabers you choose will be built with the default options that you'd see if you were buying the saber through the store without making any changes, such as upgrading to an AV switch, Recharge port, nickel finish, Covertec wheel, Obsidian V4 sound, etc., so if there are features you want, just let them know and they'll get you a quote and instructions to pay for those upgrades with requisition charges.)

Thank you, Sir!  I'm still reeling with joy this morning after 2 hours of sleep.  Trying to concentrate at work... Hah!

Thanks for the tips!  Here's my idea.....

Double Azure Reapers in Arctic Blue...with 24 in. heavy grade blades 

At first I was thinking I could try to replicate Rey's staff with Manticores or Menaces...(Thank you Cyber Kyber for ideas!) I still VERY MUCH want a Rey replica staff.  But..I also want something I can lift , wield and use all the time without losing control or getting injured. 

I couldn't find a list of weights for all sabers, but based on surfing the forum I think the Reapers would serve me well.  (And I love that Reapers are simultaneously elegant and a growly!) I'm making a lot of assumptions about connecting them and also later being able to add a Yari pike to make it even longer.

Whatchoo think?

[Jediseth]

Lord Bladewraith you are the luckiest sucker in the galaxy! 👍

[Liora Rey]

I was floored to see your name as an EMERALD PRIZE WINNER!  US raffles are a one of a kind experience for sure . . . congrats and enjoy this amazing victory lol!  

Thank you, my friend!  I am still stunned myself ...and it starts all over every time I look at that master list and see my name at the top.  I'm humbled, grateful and excited to build something fun to share with everyone.  Floored indeed!   

Looking forward to seeing what treasure you will find in your US box as well! 

[Jediseth]

Liora Congratulations!!! Your a lucky sucker too.👍

if you really want Rey's staff, you can find it on etsy. (granted, we know she'll be upgraded to a saber in E8 and all curious)

I think that's a phenomenal idea! The Reaper, of any variety, is on my wishlist. That etched design would look so amazing with two of them together. Truly identifiable with you. I found this about the weight:

Weight: 1lb 6.55oz with claws
.25 lbs lighter than the Scorpion

They're on back order, though, so you okay waiting for a while? They do show up at the conventions, though, so maybe as the Emerald Prize winner they'll make them just for you, which I think they definitely should.

Oh well no winner here. No worries tho can't wait for my first saber to come in a few days. A birthday present to myself (fulcrum emerald v4 violet)

Hi Liora and congrats on your awesome win.  Take it that you are a female.  Perhaps you could start a new thread about your possible saber choices as this one is mainly for a shortish acknowledgement and yippee about being on the winners list and also for a noble congratulations from others who weren't as fortunate to either win or be able to enter the raffle.  

Suggest placing it in the Discussion section.  When you do... I would like to add some of my thoughts and suggestions.  

[Wesley]

Congrats to all the winners! Can't wait to see all the pics and videos you guys post!

[Anomylech]

Woop!  Now I've got an email to send about getting charging ports and whatnot added to my prize ...

Congratulations to everyone else!

Yeah, I don't feel like I lost - there's simply that bit of let-down "aww, dang" feeling when you don't see your name on the winners list.  I got a cool toy out of the mix for my birthday, as did my friend for his.  It's all cool.

ALSO...my Renegade that I ordered back in November that was backordered is arriving in a couple days, so I'm stoked

How awesome is this!.  My 1st win to go w/ my 1st purchase here.  Just made me all the more anxious for my saber purchase.  Now the wait for the track#.  Oh the pain, the pain.....
