Ultrasabers Spring Raffle ends 04/11/2017

[Lord Bladewraith]

Hey, DC, doesn't mean that in any way as long as you are sure you put in the "SPRINGRAFFLE" coupon code as well as your forum name in the Order Comments. There will be no raffle drawings until midnight Central time on the even of the last day of the raffle, April 11th. Only then will they post the official list of winners in a new thread, and it probably won't be until the wee hours of the morning. Winners receive an email the next morning. When they ship a raffle entry out earlier, it usually means they needed the space. You're all good, friend.

MTOBEIYF may the odds be ever in your favor

Isola you kill me. I'm guessing that's over $400 by the time it gets to you. I don't know that I would have done that. I think the silver av switch will look good though.  I'm hoping you win something good in the raffle to go with it.

Go big or go home

You should know by now I don't shy away from a challenge :p

Tweren't me...    
Awesome video, Isola! I thoroughly enjoyed walking through that with you (my wife and I were giggling the whole time - thanks for a good laugh on a Tuesday afternoon). Point! So, the Crimson Scorpion, eh? That is awesome - it was fate! I have the same one on order.  I think we're both in for a pleasant surprise. Hope you love it.

Good thing I kept my language in check for the benefit of Mrs Bladewraith then lol

Hehehe, thank you for that. Mrs. Bladewraith appreciates it, too. She thought this was a brilliant idea and that you'll probably really like the outcome.

What is not a "single color" ?

Nice!  The only difference between our orders is I went with a Silver Illuminated AV Switch that's Blue.  Aside from that we have the same toy hehe

I didn't even have the Archon on my want list, but after it came up on the Flash sale and I got to looking at it...I didn't realize it MHS compatible at both ends.  That and the super-reduced Flash sale price sold me.  Now I can't wait for the thing to arrive. 

Good luck to you in the raffle!

"Any two single color Ultrasabers"

The Emerald and Diamond sabers are sabers you can change the colors on.

Basically what they're saying is that you pick a color, and that's what you get - no Emeralds or Diamonds (unless you want to upgrade them - I think they allow that on the Raffle prizes)

Isola, that was fantastic - A lot of effort and a brilliant outcome. I wonder if anyone's ever gone for a Crimson Scorpion with that setup... I've certainly never seen any, so I'm looking forward to your pics/video! I hope you really like it, or at least that you see potential in it to work with

Wholeheartedly agree! Let's all give a point to Isola! He sure earned it. That was the most fun I've had yet watching a video here on SaberForum, but then, Isola's videos are always a treat to watch. I think we all have to ask ourselves are we brave enough to do what Isola just did and let random chance pick our saber for us. I hadn't considered the randomness being applied to every component on the saber, and it got more suspenseful with each reveal from those little pieces of paper. 

I definitely believe that no one here has done this before, and it kind of feels like a "SaberForum Challenge", like are you brave enough to do it.  

Who's next?

I'm down with giving it a shot, but it'll have to wait a while until I won't feel guilty at throwing more cash at yet another saber.  Maybe Summer Raffle time lol

Anyone else thinking of giving it a shot?

So, only the Emerald Prize is different.

I also can't find any info about the 2-channel Emerald driver. What can we do with it ?

[James Casey]

It's the ultimate test of mettle, eh? Not just the hilt, but potentially ending up with a setup you wouldn't normally go for.

My new Reaper was the last item on my wishlist, but maybe there's room for one more in my collection. Perhaps an Isola Challenge lies in my future

Speaking of my new Reaper...

Red-on-black with its Ronald McDonald yellow-on-red sibling

Note the difference in the detailing - I ordered my Crimson Reaper in autumn 2013, and the scoring is much thinner. An interesting contrast. I'll have to check my Azure Reaper to see whether its different again, although that was a protoype, I believe. There's also additional detailing to the emitter of the newer hilt, which I'll show photos of in the full review I do soon.

I know I'm up for it, too. Maybe. Hmmmm.

Yeah, that's right, man, and I do like the name "The Isola Challenge" better than "SaberForum Challenge".  I should've thought've that.  

Isola, care to move this to a thread of your own called the "Isola Challenge"?

So I see what you mean that the "new" Reaper is noticeably more defined than the "old" Crimson Reaper.  Me likey.    The emitter on the Reaper is so unique, too.  A lot of character, and I like how it seems to kinda float at the top, not looking like it makes full contact with the hilt.

I think the yellow actually works quite well with that shade of Crimson.  

Point for the nice pics! Congrats on the new saber, too.

Very nice JC!
