I figured the Customizations section was a good place for this. I know that LEE filters seem to be the go to brand for filters especially when you could get the swatch for free. Now the swatch is $.01+ shipping so I went looking elsewhere. I found Apollo Filters today and you can request stuff from their website including a filter swatch book. And it was FREE. Here's the link for anyone who would like to give them a try. I just did a request today so idk when they will get here but I'll let you all know. http://www.internetapollo.com/ContactUs/MarketingMaterials.aspxI mostly am doing this to tweak my new SRD blade. It is just a little more blue than I would like. But this may be my excuse to get an AS saber! |

I figured it was worth a shot as well, so I sent one in too.
I will follow up.

After you fill in all your info, which box to the right do you select? Is it the Apollo Gel Swatch book?

I want a set now. Maybe get some sick colors for my Guardian Blue Bellicose. Do I have to fill in the background experience page? Answer quick. I wouldn't mind having a free set of filters.

I got an email yesterday that said my promo mats were on the way. I live in Winnipeg, so shipping didn't seem to be an issue.

I dont know that adding a filter to a non-multi-color LED (i.e. VA or SYD) would do much, I tried it with my BR saber and the most any filter did, and I tried multiple shades of blue and green (seeing if I could get close to either a purple or yellow) and the most they did was dim the blade. I would expect similar results from GB just because it's a solid color LED, just like the BR. |

I too would like to know how you guys have been filling out the experience, background, and job sections on the form. I would assume if 20 people fill out the form asking for a swatch book with 'lightsaber collector and dueling enthusiast' in there, it might start raising some eyebrows. lol But I'd love to get a set of these for my AS Shock! Just wanna make sure I fill it out right before I make my move. |

Hello friends,
I told them that I worked on a few production crews for musical theatre shows in college and high school and that we were always trying new filters and would like to try the Apollo ones as well. For me personally that was absolutely true but even if it isn't 100% true for everyone you can probably adapt it. I put that I worked sales in the Job Title. And they took mine and said they would send them so I think it will be fine. They just want to get their name out there and that's why companies offer free stuff.
Good Luck!
JS

Good to know. Perhaps I'll see about requesting a set tonight then. My work DOES involve photography, though we don't really use filters, so I suppose that can work in my favor. |

I just said I work with custom costumes and prop replicas. It's probably just to see what kind of industries are interested in their stuff - not to validate if you're worth sending a sample to. |

I just submitted my request. We'll see how it goes. Heres what I wrote in the box:
Locksmith, Multimedia artist (ceramic, painting, woodworking), electrical engineer with sound and lighting.
It's all true to some degree. "electrical engineer with sound and lighting" was my covert way of saying "lightsabers"
Its a good thing we dont all live in the same area, they might get suspicious!
