SUMMER 2018 - First Raffle Winning Sabers

[Infinit01]

Thank's all, forget : here are the dark standard battle saber of my wife in TRI  Artic blue. Then a free initiate : the dark apprentice v4 LE with windows, blazing red, and my fourth prize won on the raffle : dominix v4 LE, with windows, guardian blue

Congrats on the win there, DR!  I have all three sabers and must say that the Dominix is by far my favorite to weld and spin as it’s really comfortable to grip in just about any way you can think of.  My first impression was that it was much larger than my Initiates but after spinning with it, I like the evenly distributed weight that runs across when the momentum of both blade and saber increases.

Arctic Blue is such a nice color. Point!

Congrats on your free sabers! Obviously I am quite partial to the Dominix V4 (every saber I own so far is a variation of it  ) but even people who are less biased will tell how comfortable it is to use.

we decided to give the initiate to my step brother, and the dominix to a friend, but I tried them, they are really cool to use !

I think my next order will turn into another initiate, V4 this time, or an apprentice (maybe 2 of them for another original staff lol)

having a small hilt is a real pleasure !

US if you create a Yoda style hilt, be sur I'll give you my money xD

Here are my winning entry saber and my prize saber. 




The entry saber is a Shock in Guardian Blue with quick disconnects and V4 sound, shown already kitbashed into the "close enough to Shaak Ti for me" configuration I had in mind when I ordered it.  I bought a Shock LE emitter separately and added a TCSS pommel to get the look in the ballpark. 

I really like how you reconfigured the Shock into a custom hilt, it looks great. As well, congrats on your prize Manticore!

Won't seem very original after Lokan got almost the same but I'll share anyway.

In my very first raffle I won 4th Prize (free Grab Bag). A very loud THANK YOU to UltraSabers by the way for all they do for their customers/fans.

Dominix V4, Stunt, Blazing Red, Windows in the emitter, Regular Guarded Switch





US may not read minds but they sure understood that this was a hilt I love and that I needed a Dark Side one for balance as all the others I had were Light Side. Again, Thank you! 

Isn't that thing BRIGHT?! I was amazed to see how bright it was compared to my other sabers. Hands down the best blazing red I've ever seen.

I thought that too. It is bright. Than again it's the first time I have a regular Midgrade blade on a saber so I guess it blocks less light.

Are you using Tri-CREE or just the UE blade?  Or is the BR just super bright?

UEMG blade but this BR came with a MG blade. I suppose I'll have to change the blade to see if it's the blade or the saber that makes it so bright.
(For some reason I thought about the usual "Egg or Chicken" question there)

Let me know what the difference is, I've never owned a standard blade, just Ultraedge. I'd be curious to see just how much it affects the blade's overall brightness.

Good to know. I know that one works better for the blues and the other works better For the reds, forgot which though.

And that was my intention, point

It was my understanding that UE was better for all cold colors (GB, AB, CG, SRD, DVA) and that regular worked better on warm colors (FO, BR, SY, PO) but I am clearly no expert on that question.

[Darth_Ravn]

I don't think that UE are better with particular color, the UE is describe to give a "full blade effect", then you don't less bright parts on the blade. (Saw on the US FAQ)

One of my friends get a saber of a French shop, the blade is not UE and it's really dimmer next to the tip


Edit : I saw that on the FAQ, deep gives his opinion on UE with different color, and add that it's his opinion

It took a while but here they are, my winner sabers which is the Emerald Prize staff.  My choices are the Consular and the Emperor's Hand.

The video isn't playing. Is it set to private? Or perhaps it's still processing.

[Infinit01]

My mistake, try it now.

[scifidude79]

Yep, it works now. Great video and great sabers. It's cool that you upgraded the Consular but left the Emperor's Hand with Emerald. Even though they're intended to be a staff, that makes them a bit more unique.

Just a couple fun points. The EH always comes with an AV, as do any sabers with activation boxes. Also, the black pommel is more likely to show scratches, because it's shiny aluminum underneath. But, it's still a great pommel, I have one on my Dark Sentinel. It's cool that you were able to get one. They're sold out in the "Build your own" section, but that may be a separate stock from the ones for sabers. Also, that isn't that bad of mess.
