(im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!

Has alot to do with the the Obsidian Lite and the AAA battery packs being out of stock for a good part of January

Thats why it seems like the premium sabers are going out quicker cause of the availability of parts. Even tho things like the Li-Ion and Obsidian V3/4 are still in demand items, but the Lite and AAA pack are even more in demand. Grab Bags might be even more backed up since, if I understand correctly, are essentially the "flawed" sabers and alot of sabers hilts in general are on back order.

Boils out to this: If Order A, B, and C has a component that is out of stock, then Order D is the next to be completed and shipped due to having all its components needed to be finished. Once the out of stock parts are replenished, rather than going on to Order E, they go back to finish Order A, B and C. But if Order B decides to upgrade from a Lite and AAA to a V3 and a Li-Ion, 2 parts that are readily available, it essentially jumps in front of Order D to be completed first.

 Thanks, I know.

 Actually both Obsidian Lite boards (which don't affect grab bags /stunt orders) and battery packs ( which do) are back in stock and have been for a few days (battery packs were back last Thursday). I realize forum members are just a fraction of US customers but I'd  have expected at least a few people to post about getting shipment notices for their grab-bag orders.

Unless there were so many orders for grab bags that they are out of stock

Correction: a grab-bag saber review was just posted, hopefully we'll see more soon.

Basically it means that they're working on the order and it can't be changed via the website (if you meant to upgrade you'll have to email them, for faster response put your order number and 'upgrade' in the subject field).

It's the state of the order once the payment is taken - your order is being processed (but not shipped yet if you don't have that confirmed via e-mail or in your order's page) and if you would like to make changes to that order, you need to e-mail US. They are very helpful to amend/upgrade your order if you wish.

On another note: I am very happy to see another "shipped" label on a January AAA-saber. Let's hope for more to come!

My order in this state for 23 days now. Depending on what you've ordered it can be a few days until shipping (V3+ soundcard and Li-ion battery setups) or weeks because of the backlog (AAA battery setup and Lite sound setup).
This is the time when you can fine tune your excitement and patience skills I grind mine pretty well.

Hard to tell - since it's one order my guess would be that the grab bag may slow it down if there's really a "first come-first serve" policy with AAA-setups (which the grab bag has). The premium Bellicose alone could be quick (a few days) based on the feedbacks of last week but if there's a "spend more - get priority" policy you may get the whole lot pretty fast.
Actually your order is quite a guinea pig: come back and tell when you get your shipping notification so we can speculate further what policy is applied by US on dispatching.

I was like "I don't have the AAA setup, nothing to worry about! " Then I just realized the grab bag is one....xD Well, so it begins...hopefully I can get it by the 20th, I have a place to go, things to do, wanted to get my saber by then xD

Talked to my girlfriend earlier.  I told her that I got her a BIG AWESOME gift for Valentines but dummy me didn't think up the idea until it was way too late.  I was itching to tell her what I got, so I dropped little hints until she went "Wait....you got me a lightsaber?!"  "YES!"  *SQUEAL*  eeeee! she's thrilled, now I REALLY want it to hurry up and ship!

Also I didn't tell her about the bottle of wine and chocolate I got as a consolation prize, so there will still be a surprise tomorrow!

That's awesome!  I definitely want to get my girlfriend and best friend a lightsaber as a gift one day... I just have to figure out the perfectly awesome way to present the thing.    I just wish I could find a cool gift box that could house something that's over three feet in length, lmao.

I was just gonna tell her to wait in the living room, scurry off to where I was hiding the saber, and then walk back into the living room whistling the Imperial March (she's dark side) while holding the damn thing

[ThreadJack]

Geez, I wish someone would do that for me on Valentines Day...I'll be watching hockey with my Poe action figure as company...
