Wow, those are two very nice sabers. What's the soundboard like? How does it compare to SF sabers?

You are one very fortunate person. Very jealous over hear.

Thanks! I feel very lucky..

The Mantis has Obsidian V3 and the Scorpion V4.. The V4 has like 6 fonts.. they sound pretty good. the blaster blocking sounds are nice as well.. I will have to wait when my Exhalted comes back from repairs so I can properly compare them and I will post conclusion here.. take care

It's a good day when you get one let alone two sabers in one day. And the best part is that one of those sabers was free! They both look great. How does the curved hilt feel? Is it odd when trying to spin? The red on your scorpion is amazing. Congrats on your unbelievable grab bag......with sound!

Thank you Andi-Jae EL ! It was indeed a very pleasant surprise... Honestly, I never planned to get a curved hilt.. but I do appreciate the craftsmanship of the Mantis, It's beautiful.. It does feel a little weird trying to spin it.. I am definitely keeping it for a while, but maybe in the future I might sell or trade.
The Scorpion is a badass looking hilt.. love it !

Wow you sure got an amazing deal with what you won as a free grab bag! The Mantis and Scorpion both look amazing! I'm not one for curved hilts either but the Mantis has some nice detail!

I admit that I just got a stunt double-bladed saber from US, the Phantasm V4 since it just came back in stock. I figured it'll be a good practice saber for both double-bladed dueling and dual-wielding (and single-wielding I guess) before I become courageous enough to swing around my SF saber in earnest when it comes in the next month or so. I'll definitely include a pic or two comparing them when I do the review!

Congrats on the sabers and enjoy them!

Thanks Savannah95 ! I do like the craftsmanship of both sabers.. I will definitely keep the Mantis for a while but I might be willing to sell or trade in the future.. it looks great next to the scorpion.. double-bladed stunt? nice.. I also have a regular grab bag (dark apprentice LE V4) for practice since I am still learning how to spin.. Looking forward to see that review with pics !

That is an AMAZING grab bag win! It's rare to see a higher end hilt like the Mantis go out as a grab bag to begin with, but for it to have sound added is just crazy (grab bags are always stunt sabers, never seen one with sound go out before). Congrats on the awesome luck and go buy a lottery ticket!!! :cheer:

Thanks Prowl! I know right! I will go and buy a lottery ticket too just in case. . I also heard how rare it is to get a fancy hilt as a grab bag. . But when I pushed the button and heard the sound, I was like, this might be a mistake from US .. don't know, ,, I won't investigate lol

Unless there is a special type of grab bag that comes with that offer, yeah, they're not supposed to have sound ever.
I feel like there's someone out there wondering angrily why they got a stunt Aeon instead of their Crimson Mantis with sound.
The above post may be subject to editing. A lot of editing.

Yeah, who knows. .I am sure if there was a switch or some other mistake, and somebody didn't get their Mantis, US will fix that for them so I'm not too worry about that.

If you had a new employee do your order and give it to you, that would be the greatest luck ever ha.

Darth Crain, Noting the rarity of Grab Bag Levels with the receipt of your reward and acknowledging that they're 'usually' Soundless Stunts, the Mantis isn't from an ordinary Grab bag though right? This was your awarded prize from winning the Spring Raffle with your Scorpion purchase. Great reward nonetheless.

Hey mate, got a question for you. Unless certain specs from US are changed now, Scorpion's got a blade socket depth (from edge of flanged emitter to inner lip of heat-sink LED Module) of 4". Mine's only a standard 2" Plug and doesn't prevent dust from getting in via the horizontal windows (on neck section just above choke). Specific to my plug, when I drop it all the way in (with the neck section above flaring with a larger ID) it often gets stuck. Pretty much just keep a blade inserted until I can get a long enough plug.

Is your blade plug supplied long enough to reach the full length?

I wouldn't investigate either if I were you, lol. Just enjoy that awesome lucky Mantis!!!

Hello friend. .
Yes, I think I need a 4 inch blade plug for the scorpion. . I don't have any fit it right now. . I have to go to US site and order 2. Not sure if SF sells 4 inch plugs.
Yeah, something especial happened during the spring raffle. . I was a fourth prize winner tier which it says is a grab bag. . But who knows what went down that they ended up sending a fancy hilt with obsidian v3..

Let us know if you have success with getting a 4"Plug. I've been sussing it out although admittedly haven't been overly active with the search for a Custom length. The shortfall bothers me so my problem really as it may not be of any concern for you. Oh and what went down is that you scored a Mantis Obsidian v3 Premium Sound! :lol:
