Alright so the title might be a little misleading, as I don't get my mystery box sabers for a few days.
BUT
While they're in transit being shipped to my lovely mailbox, or doorstep, I thought I'd make a fun little discussion about what people think they might be.
SO
Comment on what colours I might get, what the 4 hilts might be, and if you think I might get one with sound. I've seen a lot of V4's going through the mystery boxes, which is what I think I'll end up with in various finishes and blade colours.
I'll update people in a few days once they've arrived. May the force be with you

** update **
So the order came in and I was surprised to see the following:
Dark initiate v4 LE in guardian blue
Dark initiate v4 LE in arctic blue
Sentinel V4 in silver
And my biggest surprise: Raven in silver with premium sound.
These were all from 75$ mystery boxes.

I'm loving the randomness of these mystery box sabers. Like Forest Gump, you never know what you're gonna get... then add on... but you can't lose for trying it out. Congrats on those 4 sabers! I've seen the Dark Initiate quite a bit, but a Sentinel and Raven are especially a treasure.

I think you need a coupler for those Initiates.  Definitely an awesome score, congratulations. |

im probably going to switch some of the LEDs around. Thinking both dark initiates as silver for dual wielding or making a double bladed sabre, then place the arctic blue in the raven, and the guardian blue in the sentinel. The raven isn't FOC so it should be easy enough to switch. Pics to be posted after the switcheroo

From looking at the product page, it loos like the Raven uses the MLS unit, as opposed to the standard LED unit all of the other sabers you got use. Still, that's not a huge deal. You can physically move the LED itself to another heat sink easily enough. In fact, it can be done without even undoing any of the wiring on the LED itself because of how UltraSabers builds their LED heat sinks.  |

Just a matter of unscrewing the LED into the other heat sink 😬 |

I just purchased a Raven and I must say it is one of the most under rated sabers, in my opinion. I LOVE this saber.....it can sith or even old republic is in style...I have mine in BR, but toying with the idea of putting in a Sentinel yellow LED....Your dark Initiatives look awesome!!! Nice score on your mystery boxes!!!

Great job moving the LEDs around, I really like that AB in the Raven. In fact the more I seen the Raven the more I like it. Thanks for the pics.

I wouldn't have bought the raven on a solo purchase but I'm extremely happy with it now that I have it

Yeah I have been on the fence about some. It is hard to decide when you can only view them on the website, fortunately I go to Dragon Con and Ultrasabers sets up a booth there. One I NEVER thought I would purchase was the renegade, it just looked to way too way and cumbersome. Upon visiting there booth and getting to really see it sold me on this. Just like your enjoyment of the Raven. I will agree that a leather wrap would be spectacular on this hilt. Enjoy!

Two silver sabers, and on a Raven with sound? The Force has served you well, indeed |
