You guys are trippin  Cheesy  I'm surprised these have become the points of contention  Shocked

The entire process is random.  We are grabbing BOXES not hilts when these are pulled to ship.  Come see us at a convention if you are curious of the process, you can see it in person  Grin  

The name of the hilt is written on the paper to assure the correct accessories are included with the hilt (the wrench for a Initiate is different that the wrench for a Graflex, the blade for an Archon v3.1 is different than the blade for a Archon v2.1, the Renegade and Flamberge require additional instructions and blade, etc etc etc)

The name of the fabricator is written for accountability purposes?  I assume you guys want these hilts inspected and sent through quality control prior to shipping right?

I gotta admit, it's kinda frustrating when you are the Wizard of Oz giving fabulous gifts and putting on a fabulous show for all and everyone is constantly trying to look beyond the veil to try to figure out what the gimmick is.  Just enjoy the show and in this case enjoy the prizes.  You CANNOT lose with the Mystery Box.  And everything that I say in the video is absolutely true and all information is given there.  The person that makes the saber is different from the person that boxes the saber and is different from the person that pulls the box and ships the saber and is different from the person that puts the shipping label on the box.  We have randomized the entire process.  Just look at the winnings for any needed proof of that.

I don't know how long we will be giving $500, $300, $200 sabers for $75... time will tell.  But I would enjoy it while it lasts and not let a bit of sharpie on the wrapping detract from it.

HAPPY SABERING EVERYONE!!!

Thanks Deep, very well said and very much appreciated. I've only been in this hobby for like 6 weeks but I've already bought 8 sabers from you. (yeah, sorry to say that rate is not going to be sustainable)

Current and on order sabers: Aeon LE V4 saber staff in GB, Dark Initiate V2 in GB, Dark Sentinel V4 (Grab bag) in FO, Aeon LE V2 in SRD + Dominix LE V2 in VA for functional dual wield and funky looking saber staff, and Lost Grey in SRD.

Light side points if you please

The only thing I'm a bit disappointed with is the fact that it isn't a windowed emitter one(and the lack of belt clip but that's easily remedied on my part), but tbh the hilt and blade color make such a pretty combo as is that it makes up for it.

I also wanted windows on my dominix but honestly now that I have it in my hands I kinda like it. It works especially well for me because that is where my main choke point is so it wouldn't be showing that much anyways and I like the plain round grip. I think its just part of the fun since you get to adapt to a saber with options you probably wouldn't have gotten on your own

Is it possible to upgrade soundboards through ultra sabers? I wouldn't mind changing my V3 to a V4 board

Congrats on the Emerald Graflex! If you are planning on changing the color of the initiate, may I recommend getting a color gel swatchbook (Rosco, Lee, and Apollo are major companies)? Sometimes you can get them for free, and the colors you can get are much more satisfying. I know I got my swatchbook for $3 + $5 shipping. Totally worth it over the color disks if you are looking to change the silver blade color. Congrats again.

Thanks for the advice!  I had no idea such a swatch book existed.  A quick google search brought up plenty of examples.  Cheers!

Ok, now that I'm home, "basic sentinel" I thought I received is actually a sentinel v4 with silver av switch and Arctic blue.. upgrades placing it with a higher price tag than I first thought.

Actually excited, cuz I'm thinking of using this as a project saber. Either as a staff, or customize it in some way

All you'll need to do once you receive the swatchbook is cut the color gel into a circle or similar shape. There's lot of colors you can experiment with. The only ones that are difficult showing up in your ultrasaber are reds and darker shades of colors. Good luck!

Very nice hilt, will do for a Jedi costume.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be THAT girl.... Sad It really isn't a biggie, I'm happy with the saber. Smiley

I really consider this a big win. I got a saber I wouldn't have bought otherwise the way it's configured, and I LOVE it. It's pretty, at least until I drop it a few times and add dents and scratches.  Cheesy

It's beautiful. Must control urges and not splurge any further XD.

It is very pretty, and more so in person!

Nice saber you got there, TJ.  I also got a Dominix V4 LE (mine is in GB) and I think it's a fantastic saber, got a really comfortable grip.  Very happy with my $75 Mystery box.  Thinking about getting another one already.

I couldn't agree with sentiment more  Grin. I got a Sentinel v4 LE, CG and have found my sparring saber  Wink

And I've said it before: emitter windows look awesome  Cool

I went for the 200 dollar box and was lucky enough to get a lost grey hilt with an emerald driver. Overall I'm very happy with it!
