Title: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Darkhorse V on May 26, 2011, 01:34:46 PM
Ok, from looking around on this forum - it seems like we are all about as patient as a kid in a candy store while waiting for our new sabers to come in the mail.  This is the place to vent and let everyone know what you got, why you got it, and in general talk about your new purchase until it arrives and you can start terrorizing your family/girlfriend/dog/friends with it.

I personally just ordered a Pyrestone SS Raven with a set of normal claws also for dueling.  I got the quick disconnect and a Red MLS unit as well because, well, it IS the sith stalker after all!  I also ordered a black vented coupler for my prophecies (or the Raven and a prophecy!) and hopefully for a Raven staff down the road.

The last part of the order was an LED swap for my SRD Standard Issue.  The hilt has a black and silver theme after my striped grip-tape application, and I'm going to change it to have a Adegan Silver blade.  I've always wanted to see a silver saber and it will fit well with the theme.  

To offset the added light-side the blade now has, I'm probably going to attach a Dark War Glaive claw at the emitter when I get it back.  I know, I know.  I'm playing out the single WG claw, but hey - I like it, and I think it will fit well on that saber and balance out the light/dark ratio.

Ok, your turn.

Ready...  Set...     ....    . .           GO!

Oh man I bet that pyrestone raven is gonna look friggin sweet...

Anyway, I'm eagerly awaiting my Fire Orange Liberator battle staff!  My friend got a standard issue battle staff and I've wanted a saber staff ever since.  Best part is, my friend has a shore house we're using this summer, and we've been planning to duel on the beach at night.  This staff will be AMAZING for that purpose!

Post by: Darkhorse V on May 26, 2011, 02:48:08 PM
That sounds awesome.  I've always kind of wanted to try out a liberator staff - it seems like that would be one of the best staff options.  Fire orange is tough to beat too, that will be an epic beach battle!

Those claws on your custom dark prophecies are friggin awesome, Darkhorse.  Some solid custom sabers you got there.  I'm sure the wicked looking Raven will go well with them!

Post by: Darkhorse V on May 26, 2011, 06:44:14 PM
Haha. When I got done with them I thought they were pretty sick, but the more I look around the forums - there are some pretty killer customizers in our midst!  This saber addiction is going to be the death of my wallet...  :D

if were talking about waiting to get stuff (done) i'm now on my 3rd order of parts from TCSS while i'm doing my vader conversion. the plan changed between the first 2 orders so i had to get new parts, then my LED blew when i went to test it so new order there too then decided to wire up a recharge pack so add that in too. lol

plus a trade i was doing went south so i'm waiting to get the same model (2007 Vader ANH (MR) back again. so i'll now have 2 converted vaders. lol, go figure. i'll probly try and sell one of them, though i probly won't want to sell the one i'm doing myself after all i put into it.

...my paycheck, so I can order a Raven.  It's supposed to show up tomorrow, which gives me barely enough time to enter the Raffle.

I just got a job three weeks ago and had to spend my first paycheck on "needs" *sigh* So now I'm waiting for my second paycheck until next Friday and hopefully I can get some sabers then. I'm thinking of getting a Dark Liberator Staff to duel my brother-in-law with. I want arctic blue and he's favorite color is blue/green so SRD. My only concern is that they might look to much alike so I might get a different color. Maybe yellow or The Pyrestone Orange. What do you guys think?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Rall_Kethil on May 29, 2011, 08:47:50 AM
Having managed to scrape together enough cash for an Aeon, I decided to order, only to have REAL LIFE crush my dreams yet again with more expenses... or so I thought.

Rallying my lack of common sense, I realized that I still had enough to purchase a metal-hilt Grab-Bag saber, for which I've picked Fire Orange, as that and Amethyst Violet are the only two colors that absolutely go with ANY hilt, light-side or dark in appearance.

So in a week or two, I shall finally join the ranks of satisfied (and perhaps slightly deranged) Ultrasabers customers.

Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Maslac on May 29, 2011, 10:13:05 AM
Basicly it means they are asambeling your sabers, and have not been shiped out yet. Next status will be "shipped". Thats when you can track it via teh internetz (UPS).

Hmm, enough money to start a custom build. I got most of the parts ready for my saber that I am going to start working on, but still need the main body of it. I was looking around at some MHS parts, but uh, that will cost more. So, to Lowes I shall go! But, should be good. Want to start working on a metal curved hilt. Figured why not.

Oh wow, sorry to hear that. Yeah, that happens all too ofter. But, Im just glad that I have gotten better with the inner electronics part of sabers so if something like that happens, I can repair it. Is it still dead or have you made a Frankensaber version yet?

I love grab bag sabers.  You just get a random saber from the Ultra warehouse, so it could literally be ANYTHING, even old/retired models!  I'm pumped for you man.

Post by: Jodaan on May 30, 2011, 03:17:38 PM
Hey there ! New member, I am. And my sabers awaiting, also I am.

I'm from France and with a friend we totally get "What da hell ! I can swoosh with it and it's not toy-crap that blow up at the first move ?"-ish. I'm sure you know what I mean !

So we made a grouped order to split the shipping fee (80 bucks, man, I know euro-dollar rate is interesting for us, but this is quite a pain that I assume is necessary...) and we'll soon be glad owners of :

Mines :
-> Dark Prophecy LE with UltraEdge blade, Violet Amethyst LED
-> Standard Issue with UltraEdge blade, Ice Blue LED

Friend's :
-> Raven with SS claws and pommel wit UltraEdge blade, Consular Green LED plus Sith Sound Option as my birthday present for him (I know, I'm a good and stupid friend)

So yep, waiting for them as hard as I can, and I would really appreciate if there's some frenchies or Europe fellows that have already experimented the international shipping that could give me more information, like if there's more time to wait, if those damn custom fees are strong enough to make me seppuku with my sabers the minute I have them in hand.

For the lucky of you that haven't to pay such fees, keep in mind that there is an order of 600 bucks with the shipping and without the custom fees !

But hell yeah, the second I can hold my sabers, I'll swoosh-swoosh all my imaginary foes like a 5-year-old boy with a piece of wood after seeing a SW film. And of course, review how the desired merchandise come.

Dude a metal curved hilt would be great, I've been waiting for US to make one.  You gotta post pics when u make it!

Agreed.  That will be awesome!  I've been half tempted to do a conversion on the FX Asajj Ventress sabers to get a curved hilt.

However, remember that the "curved" hilts (Dooku and Ventress) aren't nearly as curved as they seem to be (as seen when held in the hand). The appearance of extreme curvature is an illusion caused by the sharp bend below the grip above the pommel/reserve power cell. The actual curvature of the hilt itself is very slight. (http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky3ltgkt091qb0763o1_500.jpg)

I know what you mean.  What I would personally like is a more even, but much more subtle curvature.  For instance, the Dooku hilt is curved nearly to 90 degrees, I don't want such a deep curve and I want the curvature to be more distributed throughout the hilt.  That's just me though.

Gahhhhhh!!!  My last order was pending a saber return with it (no fault of US, just a change of heart on my part) and that saber just arrived to US today.

I'm already tired of waiting for my Raven and it probably won't even ship for another few days! lol

I'm so learning some new spins until then  ;D

I came into a similar problem in the 80's when people found out I was a fan of Motley Crue, Duran Duran, AND the Ramones.
Sub-genres don't concern me all that much, what matters is that all three bands made some GREAT rock music and that was enough for me.
As a kid in the 70's I listened KISS, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, AND the Parliament Funkadelics.
Back in the 60's you had to choose whether you liked the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. I always looked at folks who said things like that in confusion. I liked both; the Stones had enough testosterone back then for an army of 17-year-olds, and the Beatles had sheer talent that really came forwards in their later experimental phase years. It was ALL good to me.

The same goes for sci fi.
To Arallu (as Conan would say) with those who proclaim we have to choose one or another.
We can like BOTH Star Wars, Trek, or Firefly/Serenity, Dr. Who, and/or all of the above, and the pigeon-holers cannot stop us!!!!

I'm patiently waiting for my new "fully armed and operational"... RGB Super Sith Raven with OBSIDIAN SOUND!!!  Heavy grade, of course.  However, I did not get the In-hilt rechargeable battery pack.  Still, I am extremely excited to be possibly the first to get an Obsidian soundboard.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Jawaslayer4 on June 13, 2011, 02:36:19 AM
So I ordered my first saber Saturday morning. It's a Consular Saber in Consular Green with a red switch request. (I'm trying to get it as Qui-Gon Jinn as possible) ;D I chose a standard-edged mid-grade blade because I wont duel until I get another saber and I was worried about the pastel look of the ultra-edged blades. I also ordered a charger, an obsidian soundboard w/out the AV switch, a standard finish shroud, and a hex wrench. It's only been a day and a half and I can't wait for it to arrive. I think the earliest it will show up is on Friday which would be awesome because that's my Birthday. :)

... freshly ordered (Sunday evening) Dark Initiate v2 staff!!!
-raw (silver) hilts
-32" UEHG
-Consular Green & Guardian Blue

If they get here before the sale ends and my wife likes them, we may get a pair of Aeons...
I was pricing out a loaded Shock (because the sale is very motivating) but our macmini died Friday  >:( (on this forum actually) and now my loaded saber money is getting our data back via clean room surgery... good grief.

Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Master Nero Attoru on June 14, 2011, 01:42:43 PM
Gave it another try, my first order got cancelled due to the restructuring.  This time around I got a dark standard issue battle staff in fire orange with 32" heavy grade blades.  Saved a LOT of money with the cheaper saber and the sale, plus the saber itself should be AWESOME.  I can't wait!

I thought mine had gone through, but it turned out to have been cancelled. To make matters worse, the bank cancelled our card & re-issued us a new one, so we're having to wait for the new PIN number to re-place our order. Then I had to replace the belt on my car; now a wild animal got under the house and shredded the AC ducts underneath when our cats tried to chase it away.

Guess who's just got UPS' confirmation for a shipping placed ?

I'm amazed, you guys work very fast !

It's been like 4 days since all is solved and I've got a prevision for a delivery the 20th.

So yeah, 10 days. My beloved sabers in my hands in ten days. In France, so with international shipping issues (it takes time to put a box in a truck, then in a plane, then in an other truck with post offices and maybe some other trucks ...)

I don't know where d'you come from guys, but where I came from, a week is 7 days. So 2 to 3 weeks, it's quite more than 10 frelling days.

I'm sacrificing Ewoks just for you, for your amazing speed.

Thank you so much !

-> Dark Prophecy LE, Raven SS and Standard Issue, soon they will be mines ! And I'll do a little review as an other thank.

Post by: Jodaan on June 14, 2011, 11:58:59 PM
Yup, but the Raven is for a friend wich wanted it with sound.

But, yeah, as I said, if they are only half amazing as they seems to be, I will be in Nerdvana.

And I will sure make an other order as soon as my sabers will be in my hands, as I've got other friends interested and a war glaive claw to get. (And also, other sabers... "If you can buy just one, it's not Ultrasaber")

Ugh, still waiting for my order from before the non-reorganization to be straightened out.  It's not a big deal, I'm not in an excessive hurry and I know they're busy - I'm still really looking forward to my SI getting switched to Adegan Silver (and the claw I'm putting on it) and the Obsidian equipped SS Raven that will be arriving with it though.

Got a Raven with sound and a dark standard issue staff on the way. Super keen as I love my Catalyst and LE Dark initiate, cant wait to try out a saber with sound and a saber staff. And as a bonus, because I do some fire dancing the saber staff means I can practice without the need to get myself covered in soot. Yay for the many uses of light sabers! XD

wow, i just ordered a 208 dollar set up. I got an RGB Prophecy and a Sentinel yellow(i hope) dark standard issue and a covertec wheel for the SI. I can't believe I spent 200. Good thing i got a pre paid visa debit card today, i will use it for all my online purchases.

Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiih ! My every-five-minuts-checking-fu has told me that they just arrived at Roissy, one of Paris' international airports.

It means that my jewels are in less than 150 miles/km from me !

Does U-Pee-S ships BEFORE the scheduled date ? Because they are scheduled for the 20 and they're so close... I could go take them myself if I want to (and if I had Force Lightning and Force Choke to prevent them from not giving me my pack).

I mean, it does not take 4 whole days to travel from Paris to my town... If that happens, it would mean that UPS France uses Giant Snails as transports... Or banthas.

Hum... Guys, my heart just exploded. US have made them modify the delivery, I think I will get my sabers tomorrow.

For all international customers, particularly Frenchies, my order took less time that I could ever hope.

It took what... a week ? Seriously, I think I know why do you guys says that it take 2 to 3 weeks to be delivered : to see our face (or imagine it) when it's faster.

Thanks a lot guys !

Oh, and Sonic called : he wants his shoes back  ;D

Post by: Jodaan on June 17, 2011, 12:42:28 PM
Yup... But it seems that they take 6 hours to make like... 50 miles / 60km...

I'm scared that it would take longer to make the road to my house than travel across America from one coast to the other and cross the Atlantic.

Can you believe that ?

It was why I was talking of Bantha transportation.

Man... I have 45 minuts of road to get to the UPS center according to Mappy. If they come monday, it would be the longest 45 minuts EVER.

So yeah, waiting  :-\

Yes, oh god yes!  

My Std. Issue (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=1130.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=1130.0)) is on it's way back to me with the battery pack fixed and the LED swapped to Adegan Silver!  It's for sure getting a black Glaive claw to match the prophecies, plus it's got the whole light/dark thing going on for a theme - very pumped to see it done!

With it is my friend's Dark Liberator - Arctic Blue LED and battery pack fixed.  Now I have my sparring partner back!

BEST OF ALL though, my shiny new SS Raven is on its way with an Obsidian board and a Pyrestone LED.  I also have a Red MLS unit coming with it and some normal length claws for sparring so I don't ruin everyone's blades.

HURRY UP FRIDAY!!!

This is the order that I started this thread on and finally, FINALLY it is on its way!  I'm sure it will be worth the wait!  ;D

Scratch that, it just got here and I'm charging the batteries now :)

Anyhow, the AV switch on my Shock was loose when I got it, I suppose it should be fastened from the inside, but it doesn't appear to be, is it possible to just glue the switch to place, or is there another technique that's preferred?

See pic below:

Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Darkhorse V on June 23, 2011, 01:30:58 PM
I believe there should be a nut on the inside of the saber that holds that on.  You might want to take out the battery/speaker and shake the hilt out good - I bet it just came off (or loose anyway) en route.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: keeth on June 23, 2011, 01:35:21 PM
That was what I thought also, but I can't see any nut inside :P Anyway it's no real issue, I'll figure out a way to fasten it :)

Batteries charged, and it's an amazing saber with the Obsidian board \o/

I've asked Emory if it's possible to ask to UPS to bring my beloved ones monday or tuesday instead of thursday.

If they can do that, I'll be in Nerdvana !

And, on the brighter side, my sisters would have their sabers : they are at my place ;)

Honestly, Ultra, Deep and their crew, they all deserve all those kind words.

You guys are the best in customer relationship I know.

I have never been deceived for what I got.

And even when there is glitches (my Dark Prophecy LE didn't ship with the two other sabers) they do the best they can to fix the mess up. They have a lot of work to do and they still find time to answer to their customers.

I'm glad to say that it's UltraSaber that brought me into the LED-sabers world and that I haven't know anything but a fast and perfect service.

May I speak for some others : THANKS A LOT GUYS ! Live long and make us more of LED-icious (led = del in french, so pun it is) sabers you have made from nearly 6 years now, if I'm right.

I have nothing more to say, but you guys realy are the best ! If i was a poet, i would probably write you guys a poem, and go on a crusade to bring the good news to all the saber-lacking people out there!!

"Never fear, cuz the Ultrasabers are here!" :D :D :D

@Nero Attoru: i dont know what is worse. Me looking at your imba saber, or your agony of not having it in your hand, and having to watch it on video. I think we all saw your saber vid at least 20 times (at least me lol) and it is a beautifull piece of work, and a true testament of Ultras skill ! Hope you get it soon !

Post by: Maslac on June 30, 2011, 12:30:40 PM
I had some delivery address issues, so it was stuck at customs, and had to wait 4 extra days... No idea what went wrong. Did you specify the package value when you placed your order ? I forgot to do that the last time, so the guys at customs didnt know how much the package is worth, and i had to send them the copy of my order (basicly the thing you get from paypal that your item was payed for) probably so they could calculate the tax. If you see the item is at your countries customs office (package tracking from UPS) for a day or two, i strongly recommend you give them a call! Look in your mail when u got the tracking number, and look for help phone for your country. The nice lady told me what the problem was, so we could clear all the paper work etc.

Post by: TheOaf on June 30, 2011, 05:58:33 PM
Just ordered my Obsidian board and I can't WAIT for it to get here.
Since I'm on the far side of the country I got the 3 day express shipping.  But since UPS is closed on the weekends and Monday is the 4th, it'll be a few extra days (assuming it ships today or tomorrow).

I'm going to use it in my custom saber(s).  After I have it in my hands and can fiddle around with it a little bit, I'm going to try to make it as modular as possible so I can easily put it in other sabers on the fly.

My custom Jedi saber is mainly TCSS choke parts with a .75 or so inner diameter.  The only part with a regular ID is a 3" extension with 2" of usable space.  The Obsidian is supposed to be exactly 2" long so hopefully a little creative cram-fu will get it in there.

I have a Sith saber with tons of space but the more I use it... the more I like my Jedi.  Plus my Jedi green seems way brighter than the Sith red.

I was seriously debating either an Obsidian or a PC-U.  I chose Obsidian, and here's why:

That particular saber only has room for a single 3.6v Li-Ion.  The PC-U requires 7.4v.  There's only 2" of space (maybe an extra .25" if I stick in a trim ring) and the PC-U is too big.  I'm terrified of soldering directly to the board and, of course, with the PC-U there's a lot of that (and soldering voids the warranty).  I also want it to be as swappable / modular as possible and the Obsidian uses JST plugs, which just makes everything easier.  Plus I don't have a micro SD reader, the Obsidian interface seems loads easier to use and, even though the idea of making my own fonts was very tempting, I know nothing I can do will ever compare to Novastar's work.

I am excited.  I'm obnoxiously excited.

Now officially waiting for a Consular with Obsidian in Violet Amethyst! Bought it for my friend as a belated graduation present (He is a VERY good, very OLD friend lol) to his specs, added LI-Ion rechargeables cause I thought it best, and talked him into Obsidian. Can't wait to get it and see the look on his face. I have a feeling he will never use his MR Maul staff again... XD

Plus, I wanna play around with that obsidian for myself. ;D

Crap man, I wanna be your very good very old friend now!  haha no but seriously, that saber sounds excellent, I was just mentioning earlier that a Consular in VA would be sweet looking.  Good choice!

Yeah, well, my buddy picked the color. I had bugged him to get an US for a long time cause his Mauls can't take the punishment and I'm tired of him using my SI. My Proph is down for refitting right now, so I figured perfect timing! He was gonna go for a Dark SI, but then the Consular came out and well... he always used Qui Gon back when we were on the plastics in the good old days, so it was only natural. The rest, as they say, is history. :)

I'll give them a call in 2 days if it's still stucked :)

I am really excited !

In fact my 2 sabers are not in the customs services... THEY ARE IN Louisville, KY, United States !
Hahahaha !! :)
The message UPS gave me means that the informations were given to the French custom service in the airport.

I am supposed to receive them on the 5th of july :D YES !

Hey, come on Buddy! This guy's only got a stock Maul Staff. An old one at that, with loose blades! You've got two US's and an Aeon Paperweight! Maybe if I had the money and you were on the short end of the saber, I'd have bought you something. And I WOULD get you them Power Ranger autographs, but my badge won't get me in for signings. XD

Awww, darn. I was hoping you could get them. Oh well, don't sweat it bud.

Yeah you're right, I do have two and a half US. lol. And I'll be ordering another in December(probably just a grab bag) so I can use my rewards points up before they expire! ;D

I hope your friend enjoys his saber.  :)

Bane w/Pyrestone orange, Quick Disconnect, Obsidian, Li-Ion setup, UEHG; an extra MLS--Dark Violet; and finally a Dark Initiate LE--Guardian Blue for my son. Dang after typin that out I realize how big an order that is!  :P

It's here!!! And it is SWEET!!!! The Pyrestone Orange & Dark Violet fit the Bane perfectly!! The Obsidian board is AWESOME!!! I'll post a review probably tomorrow. There were a couple of things wrong with the order: the Bane was missing the covertec knob & my son's was supposed to be a Dark Initiate LE, but got a regular Dark Initiate. Not a big deal though...I can't talk my son into sending it back (he says it's fine!)  :D  & I actually was gonna take the covertec off my Bane anyways. So once again no big deal.  :)

My order made it today!!!!  It was supposed to be Jul 5th.   I got a single Darth Maul with upgraded blade in Fire Orange. It-is-cool, except for one thing, now I'm use to obsidian board sounds,  the Darth Maul sounds wimpy next to my obsidian US sabers.

Guess I'll have to see if US can upgrade the maul to obsidian.

That sounds awesome.  I've always kind of wanted to try out a liberator staff - it seems like that would be one of the best staff options.  Fire orange is tough to beat too, that will be an epic beach battle!

I ordered, but sent back, a liberator staff that was VA. To be honest with you I didn't even try dueling or playing with it, as soon as I saw how thin the emitter is and how shallow the blade socket is, I immediately knew that the saber was too fragile. I sent it back as new as it came in.

I've been admiring Ultra Sabers from afar for over 10 months now, and I've always been super excited just to get one.  I finally acted on my gut and ordered a Dark Standard Issue Battle Staff in Arctic Blue with UE Blades, and me and my girlfriend are probably going to split apart each saber as we are both college bound pretty soon.  It's a small part of my gift to her for our 1 year anniversary, she'll either hate it or love it. Hopefully it's the latter, and I'm incredibly excited to actually finally be a proud owner of an ultra saber!

Whoo!  :)

Been wanting a double bladed lightsaber for a while now, honestly I've known about Ultrasabers for a while, but I just never was interested. With the sale, and my lack of a double bladed lightsaber, I felt compelled to get one.

I got the phantasm in blazing red, looking forward to seeing it. Then you guys will get to see something you've likely never seen a real person do.

Awesome! I saw the announcement for that baby, and I WANT that emitter. lol I also love the button, and overall it's just a nice design. I think it really incorporates some of the 'traditional' elements of US, while really departing from the typical examples of the line vets. Great choice!


As for me, my Buddy's Consular arrived two days ago! :) That was a whole day earlier than expected! Sadly, it's sitting unopened propped against the foot of my bed and the corner of a table because he hasn't had time to come by and pick it up yet. :( Stupid family events and whatnot.... XD

honestly... anything makes a noise in the house and my wife just looks at me and asks me what I broke this time lol.

That and I automatically find the one injured spot on a person. Like for instance, I never pat people on the back, my buddy J got a tattoo on his back and hadn't told me yet. I walked right up to him and smacked him right on the back... Another one of my friends had gotten a horrible spider bite on his stomach, I walked right up to him and poked him right where he had been bitten... It's a curse I swear.

I'm patiently waiting for my new Raven STAFF. White blades of course, but got the quick disconnect with both in case I decide later on to switch it up (while I feel silver blades reflect my character, most people aren't too impressed with white blades until they seem them in person).

Heavy blades of course, since it will get ALOT of abuse during dueling sessions. Should be here Friday, which sucks because our group gets together Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I won't be able to fully play with it for another four days after getting it =/
oh well, and I am going to post plently of pictures in a review once I get it.

I'm patiently waiting for my new Bellicose =D I swore off buying sabers for a while, and I was having bad luck with my incoming sabers... (with the LEDs) but when I saw this thing I just had to.

I used to just get the metal but no sound sabers, and no frills to it, all the custom would be done by me.

BUT THIS TIME! I went all out: Sun Rider's Destiny, Black blade holder, Li-Ion setup batterys and charger, Bronze accessory button, Obsidian USB sound with an AV switch, Short pommel groves, and Quick Disconnect. The blade is the only thing I feel I held back on, since I always get ultraedge-heavygrade with pointed tips. This time is only Ultra Edge with pointed tips but I wanted something more showy since I have other ultraedge-heavygrade blades I can use from my other sabers. =D

(I don't know how much I will love Sun Rider's Destiny, but I love all green variations of lightsabers. However... HORAY for quick disconnect, worse comes to worse I'll order a green LED along with my inevitable red)

... I am alittle worried of the blade colour clashing with the AV switch, but teal/green should not be to bad with blue
Either way I'm excited ^___^

(btw I've been looking and can't seem to find a picutre of the old Bellicose, anyone have one to share with me?)

I like your taste!  I love green sabers too.  I think you'll like the SRD, my friend has a staff in that color and I find it to be a really neat minty shade of green.  I think the blue AV switch was a good way to go too, I'm sure it'll look fine with the SRD.  Enjoy!

For Daishi here's the old bellicose.

I just got mine today!!!!    Dominix V2 LE  in VA(but had them add more blue to make it a darker Violet) 32in heavy Grade.  My first quasi Sith/Gray Jedi saber.
(http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z442/Crocketgsxr6/Sabers/IMG_1845_crop.jpg) (http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z442/Crocketgsxr6/Sabers/IMG_1846_crop.jpg) Looks blue here (http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z442/Crocketgsxr6/Sabers/IMG_1854_crop.jpg) (http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z442/Crocketgsxr6/Sabers/IMG_1847.jpg) (http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z442/Crocketgsxr6/Sabers/IMG_1855.jpg)   

Tried to get the color the best I could, It is a light Violet color, Darker than VA but not quite purple. But I don't have a VA to compare it to, I am just going off Pics/videos I have seen.

The type of blade depends on A) if you have extra money and B) how you're gonna use it.  As is known the UE blades fill out the color more evenly but cost a little brightness.  Mid grade is cheap and bright and anything heavy grade is best for heavy dueling.

I personally have a Prophecy with a 32 inch blade and I love it.  Feels like a good one handed saber (i.e. The fencing weapon).  I'm 5'8" and I love this medium sized saber.

So, what are you looking for in the saber?

*got bored of pressing f5 and I don't think they are going to be sending it out at 9:00PM since UPS stops at 7*

Congrats =D

Vidnyl said it well.

money and how you plan to use it.

tbh I didn't know the UE blades sacraficed brightness I thought they were intended to be brighter than the mid grade counterparts xD

I always get UE Heavy with a pointed tip, but I got standard UE rounded tip to be more for show... and I can't complain even the mid grade blades are good for dueling (so I hear) I'd say only go heavy if you plan to duel someone with something harder than a light saber xD

Edit:

OH wait I almost forgot...

To things, it's 9pm on the east coast but it's only 6 in AZ where UltraSabers is based.  2nd, the UE being slightly less bright is a personal observation.  They look more full and bright in person but they don't seem to photograph as brightly.  Again, a personal opinion.

I have enough for any blade just not pointed tip. Im just curious as to what will make the GB (or whatever color people recommend ;D) really show its trueness in color to really shine. So what color with what blade? :)

Post by: Master Artorius Vidnyl on July 21, 2011, 01:22:17 PM
I have a GB omen with a heavy grade blade on it and I love it.  I've also tried it with a UEHG and that was just as impressive to me.  This is more a personal choice so people's opinions will vary and will be just that, opinions.  At any rate best of luck!


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!

I had a GB Aeon, and I tried both a Mid Grade and Ultra Edge blade, and like Master Art said they're both very impressive.

Post by: CHEEKEE on July 24, 2011, 10:51:11 PM
I think ones in anodized finish generally take longer cuz it costs alot of money to produce the materials for anodizing so they have to wait till they get a ton of anodized saber orders instead of spending alot of money for one anodize.

Patienly waiting for my new Bellicose supposed to arrive on thursday. =D

my UPS tracking information kind of scares me. I have not used it in a while and so I don't know if it is normal...

But I remember getting lots of updates saying "Arrival scan: Place X Departure scan: Place X,  Arrival scan: Place Y Departure scan: Place Y.

but I got

San Pablo, CA, United States    07/22/2011    3:13    Departure Scan 

Now as you can see that was on the 22nd  3 days ago... with no update since then... should I worry? is it worth calling in? or am I just being paranoid?

From my experience it doesn't matter what you order.  I believe they get around to your order in turn, first come first served idea.  Then if there's one done, they tweak it and ship it. If not, then they have to make it. But trust me, all they're sabers are worth the wait!

And, less than 24 hours after placing my order, I got shipping confirmation! Holy Crap™! ;)

I'm waiting for my new Consular with Obsidian sound and AV switch, Li-Ion setup, Quick Disconnect, standard finish shroud, Guardian Blue and Fire Orange MLS units!

I Just got my Bellicose an hour ago. It's such an amazing saber I couldn't be more pleased.  I was playing with it right out of the box and the light cut out but I'm sure the batteries just need to be charged, which is what they're doing, while I impatiently wait at the computer waiting for the red charging lights to change lol.

I'm feeling impatient as well!  FYI Artorius and I ordered two grab bags (specified metal, let the Force decide on colors) as well as some switches for the saber building we're doing at the moment, and one plug for an older PVC saber I have (my very first saber, the Dominix!).  Can't wait to see what we get!

Tracking says 4 more days to Guardian Blue Initiate V2 LE. This will be my first "personal" saber. The other sabers I own are Star Wars Replicas and forum prizes.

I don't know what's worse knowing what you are getting or getting a grab bag and not knowing lol. Either way you sit by the front door with your latop/computer next to you spamming update on the ups page (which doesnt change.......WHY WON'T IT CHANGE) LOL. They should put gps trackers on the suckers so you can literally watch it coming lol.

Agreed, but that would probably be even more expensive. but awesome.

I find myself back to waiting for my bellicose.  I have to send it back for repairs wich I'm hoping wont take more than a month to get back to me. (Up here in Newfoundland Canada that is)

Haha have a grab bag coming on wednesday, and what did I do ordered another saber. :P. While i have been waiting I get on here and chat with you guys. The grab bag I plan on customizing (whatever it turns out to be). I love to see what everybody else comes up with. Course I have so many ideas floating in my head over the endless possibilities.

The other saber I ordered was a catalyst. Getting the VA with the AV switch and disconnect. Heavy ultra edge blade. Depending on what comes in the grab bag could turn into a staff. Oh and the Cat will have the obsidian obviously. :)

Just getting amped up talking to you guys. Very new to the lightsaber collecting thing. Love SW and one day figured i would look up sabers and was like Wow people are making them. Ultra Sabers are the best so thats all I want. ;D. I have a Bane that I got off ebay. Thats what sparked everything. GREAT JOB US! Can't wait to chat with yall more about this obsession we call Lightsabers :)

*tomorrow i comes to me through the force. We shall be united muahahaha!

**Tomorrow, tomorrow, my saber comes tomorrow, its only a day awaaay" :D

***Out for deliver  ;D

Currently waiting on a second Initiate V2 LE in Guardian Blue, plus the Aeon/Phantasm coupler to form my battle staff. I have a question though. I placed the order on Aug 7, and the staff seem to have left for a convention, so will I have to wait for them to come back to get my saber shipped out? I still have not received tracking info, and that is why I am asking.

I wouldn't think that you would have to wait til they get back - I'm pretty sure they have people helping them make these sabers (how else would they get them out so fast?)  Production may be slow right now, or there may be lots of orders ahead of yours.  They have a disclaimer right on the page that says they can take 2-3 weeks to ship out alone.  Patience, my friend, you will get your saber soon enough!  Good luck and MTFBWY.

I think if you're taking front seat in this discussion, you may be riding on the hump in the middle of the seat. I had my forum prize for literally 30 seconds when I realized it didn't work. Then waited to have it replaced, by a non-sound version. That killed me. I probably won't recover from it until I have enough reward points to get myself a saber with sound. http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=2189.msg26651#msg26651 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=2189.msg26651#msg26651)

I'm impatiently waiting for my new Bellicose. And she will be gorgeous, she will.

Bellicose, with sound, rechargable batteries, quick disconnect, a black blade holder, short groove pommel, chrome button colour, and a silver blade light. And she is coming with a Sunrider's Destiny light to switch out too.

I think that the silver blade will be beautiful with the black and silver hilt, chrome button and the black blade holder to make it pop that much more. And it will be here Tuesday. And Tuesday can't come soon enough, if you ask me.

So, I found US about a week ago. I haven't bought a new saber since I was like 13 (I'm now 19 almost 20), and that was one of the old-school plastic, light-up, sound making extendo lightsabers. I think it was a Dooku model but I can't really remember. I ordered my first UltraSaber Thursday. It's a Phantom V2 LE in blazing red. I am so FREAKING stoked!!!  ;D

I want to thank all of you guys on the forum for convincing me that this was a good idea just off of your posts and enthusiasm. And I want to especially thank Ultra and the crew for their awesome sabers. Cant wait for mine to come in.  :)

Anyway, I'm eagerly awaiting my Fire Orange Liberator battle staff!  My friend got a standard issue battle staff and I've wanted a saber staff ever since.  Best part is, my friend has a shore house we're using this summer, and we've been planning to duel on the beach at night.  This staff will be AMAZING for that purpose!


The only single saber I use is my Fire Orange Liberator. I love it!

Consular Green Bellicose with bronze button, long groove, silver blade holder, obsidian, lith ion, and green av switch.

This will be my first US...I'm pretty excited, but a little frightened. Semi-worried about how it's going to look. I've never seen an LED saber in person. If it looks good I'll be converting her 2005 MR Anakin.

i am patiently (not really, cmon) waiting for my Prophecy SRD. its a midgrade regular blade, with rounded tip.

its my first saber, and slapped myself for not realizing the time i was ordering it in.  the crew was at dragon-con this past weekend AND its labor day weekend.

then i slapped myself in the face once more realizing that US is based out of CA, and i'm only in las vegas NV, so 2 day shipping (especially at this time) was kinda overkill.  my reasoning for it was that it was only 2 dollars more than regular shipping

after my face started to hurt i had to think of some good things

i was excited about my purchase cause its such an elegant saber.  before i chose it i had to decide whether or not sound was impt to me.  eventually no sound won.  one for the money it saves. two if i'm practicing in my backyard at night, i dont want to be annoying the neighbors.

the SRD color was just so unique, and that name!  no offenses to my light side comrades, but i felt regular blue and green was becoming cliche, although i'd feel if i got more sabers i'd run into those for variety.

yesterday i adjusted my budget a little, and solved my battery crisis.  i hopped over to amazon to get some sanyo eneloops.  i bought two 4 packs of AAAs and a charger.  came out much cheaper than getting that batt+charger combo for 36 and another pack of AAAs.  i used the money i saved from that adjustment to get a copy of The Jedi Path.  the standalone hardcover release comes out tomorrow.

all in all its been one crazy adventure, and my saber isnt even here yet!
ordered it on saturday

I love the sound of your Bane.  I'm a big fan of atypical builds, so seeing a very Jedi build with a beast of a Sith saber like the Bane sounds totally cool.  I'm sure it will be great!

Yea... I actually started this little project back before Obsidian came out, but it kept getting stalled because I had to get my Dad to do all the work (I dunno a thing about saudering LOL) and then we broke the lousy wires off of the econo speaker when we ripped it out of the Hasbro Obi. Well, sort of. Either way the speaker that was in there sucked so after raiding Orvac, Radioshack, and a couple other places for supplies I remembered I had a load of reward points and so I just caved and ordered myself a free speaker battery pack combo to make things easier. I can't wait to have the thing done, it'll be sweet to fight my friend's obsidian consular with this. The different sounds the two have will make things far more real than it ever was with one obsidian and a stunt or two MR's like we've fought before! ;D And I just got the UPS confirmation email!

Yep, that's her. Constance, FO CE Prophecy. Soon to have Econo-Sound and a custom red switch. (AKA we bought the cheapest momentary switch we could find, which was red, and cut the guts out of the stock US guarded switch, then stuck the cheap one inside the guard. LOL looks great though) And my GB SI is Toepick.  ;D

I'm actually being pretty patient about my first Saber.
It's an Aeon Limited Edition with Blazing red, and I chose 3-day shipping. I ordered yesterday, so it'll arrive either Monday or Tuesday, and I can totally wait. I waited MUCH longer for my DMC Yamato Replica from Trueswords, and 3 days is nothing compared to the couple weeks I had to wait for THAT.

3 day shipping starts after the saber is built, not from the day you order it. The order has to be processed, then it gets built, then shipped. You should get an email to confirm your order, then you get another email confirming it has been shipped. Just an FYI that some don't take in to account.

Then I'll just wait on that too. Like I said, my katana took forever to get here, and in comparison US seems to be twice as fast. It's all fine with me.

i noticed a different checkout confirmation message.  It said that due to high volume, orders sucessfully processed and received immediately hit the fabrication floor.  Its crunch time for ultra and his crew this fall and winter season, and they have a reputation to uphold. Which is sterling as it is.

Dear fellows saber enthusiasts, I think that I will get a Bellicose, as soon as I will get a job. full options for that gorgeous masterpiece !

I mean, how would I resist getting such a saber ? It's impossible !

My first Obsi-saber, but maybe not the only one, there's still Christmas ! And my birthday... And... Wait a minut, there's a new year just after the end of the current one ? That's a vicious circle !

Just ordered an Archon V2 in Fire Orange.  Got everything possible, Obsidian, Quick Disconnects, Li-Ion Battery with a Red AV Switch.  Also ordered a Blazing Red LED so I can swap out the color.  I plan on cosplaying a Sith Luke at this years Megacon, and this works perfectly.  This is my first saber with Obsidian, and I'm excited to compare it to my MR Luke.

I'm trying to figure out what I should order with my $31 in Reward Points.  I could order another MLS unit, but the only colors I don't already own are Adegan Silver and Sunrider's Destiny, neither of which sound appealing.  Silver would be white, and I'm just not fond of SRD.  I could order a different emitter, maybe a Dark Shock LE.  Or, I could just save them until US christmas sale, and save some money on something else.

What do you think?

Something wrong with my connection, it keeps cutting me off and posting only a few words. I would love to order another saber, but don't want to until my last order gets here. Want my next one to be a Jedi saber, with a green blade. Still not sure which one, Liberator, Catalyst, Archon v2 or Consular. Any suggestions? I have a Consular that I like, and a Dark Liberator Staff on order (the one I'm waiting for, 9+ weeks) but I haven't actually held a Liberator, Catalyst, or Archon in my hands. No sound, Heavy Ultraedge Blade. Suggestions welcome!

Just saw Ultra's video for the Archon, he suggested a Double Male Coupler With Vents could replace the neckpiece.  I figure I'll try that out.  It might suffice for a rudimentary crystal chamber until the CSO opens.

I dont know where you live, but thats why living next to Ultrasabers HQ, on the West Coast basically, has its perks. 2 day shipping, tch, takes 2 days anyway to get from there to here.

Well, my shipping is usually 3 to 4 days once it ships. Unfortunately though there wasn't a quick ship option at the time of my order, so it's 2 to 3 weeks till it ships, and might as well be a week after that till it gets here. XP I understand what it takes to make a saber and get it here.... an I don't wanna whine.... but I want my new saber.... LOL

Its ok, you dont have to laugh, you can CAP size those letters to express your anxiety.  I know you want to.   ;D

We should make a thread for people just venting their rage, and anxiety while waiting for their saber to arrive.

So, its very misleading that the UPS tracker says the package is on the truck for delivery.  I'm sure they just scanned it and it takes like 2-3 hours for that thing to roll out. 

Cause i have to ask myself, Who is getting packages at 5AM in the morning?

But i did make it to the shop early to test a theory, and i'm sure people already have an answer.  I came early to the comic shop (where i have my sabers shipped, cause i work here) to see if the UPS guy travel's in a circuit.  Because the other morning when my first saber came i saw his truck outside the door, but we were closed, and i guess he just passed by.  Then he came back like 3 hours later.  So i'm gonna see if he comes around on his first pass, or if i'm a scheduled stop in a linear type route.

Or i could be here for no reason at all...... :-\

On a further note, I've worked it out with a couple people to pool money and buy this couple I know a pair of sabers for christmas, so I can't wait till we get all the money together for that. (I may get meself a T-Shirt at the same time) It'll be an Archon V2 for the lady (She's a Luke fan, so it fits good), and I'm looking at the new Initiate V3 for the dude. I just saw the email on that one this morning and it looks AWESOME for him what with the available sound upgrade and MHS pommel, plus the grip just looks sick on that baby. We won't be getting either one with sound, but I want to be sure they can go back and upgrade them later if they want. :)

crisis averted! I hope.  Helps to have good neighbors.  I work in a comic shop next to a smoke shop and i go in there a lot for soda.... but anyway, i let them know i got a package comin, and they said "sure we'll take it"

lets just hope the UPS guy takes kindly to notes left for him.

The Dark Shock looks so good.

The black is nice a matte that goes really well with just about any color.

Was torn between the Consular and the Dark Shock, I weighed a few factors, price was only a 4$ difference, the Consular has the shroud which I believe would make it a little bit less combat worthy. (yes I know you can remove it) And I've always liked the look of the Dark Shock, it doesn't seem to be too long (the reason I didn't get a Raven.)

TLDR -

Dark Shock
Fire Orange (Will be swapped out with my red MLS unit)
Red AV
Midgrade

The Dark Shock is only about 11in.

Not a lot of weight to it at all an feel really good in the hands.

I'm currently waiting on my very first ultrasaber. I ordered the Archon V2 I added Arctic blue for the LED color, obsidian sound, LI-ion battery and charger. Blue AV switch. I chose this as a tribute saber for my recent first born son. To me this saber has a lot of personal. meaning to me. The Archon V2 was released on the site in September,  my son was born on the 17th of that month. September's birth stone is sapphire.  I went with Arctic blue for I think its the best looking ablue out there..also the Archon has the Luke skywalker look to it and it was the saber I fell in love with when I first saw star wars as a small child. So yes this saber is very sentimental to me

Dude two things.  One, it's very touching and awesome that you dedicated the saber to your new born son - I'm sure he'll think that's totally awesome when he's old enough to understand!  Second, that hilt and color are amazing and you will LOVE that saber... I have forseen it...

Ok pardon that Palpatine moment but I had coffee this morning so I'm wired and in a really weird mood... but enjoy your saber!!!

Sweet!

We want pictures.

Sad news( for us anyways). My Dark Catalyst in DV and Raven in VA got dwlayed.

IDK why but it sucks, so I assume that my AS Dark Liberator staff and AB Bane will probably be delayed as well.

But when I get all the sabers I ordered there is going to be a huge influx of reviews and saber and color comparisons.

Just for all of you, So you can see the difference, or at least try to since pics and vids of sabers kind of suck,
but I will do it nonetheless because I love you all. ;D

You'll be thrilled Kham. I ordered a new saber. I finally got a Raven like I've been wanting to. I thought about getting it in BR cause it'd just look BA, but I already have my Phantom in red. So I decided on Sentinel Yellow.  8)

The only disappointing thing is that they were out of the SS pommels.  :'( So I'll just have to wait until they're back in stock. I guess I'll get the pommel and the SS claws on that order.  ;D

Now officially waiting on my 'everyone else's' stuff order. LOL An Archon for my Sis's X-Mas present, an Aeon V3 LE for my Bro-in-Law, and an SRD LED Module for the PVC I'm building for my GF. Bought it all this early 1) to be sure I'd have it! 2) to have time for mods and construction and of course 3) so I could get a peek at these suckers for myself before gifting them away. Once my Sis gets her hands on the Archon, she's not going to let go of it! LOL  ;D

It's good to give... as long as I don't scratch the blades playing with them for the next month and a half. Kidding, kidding...  ;D

Thanks Nero! I take that as a compliment coming from you.  :) I figure it'll make a good saber for my character. Yellow seems (to me) to be a kinda neutral color that could be used for either a Sith or Jedi. And the color is just freaking sweet.  ;D

My goal is a saberstaff.  I'd hoped for the Aeon LE since before it's time, but couldn't swing (bad joke) the finances during their reign.  Now I fear for the worst, that the v3 line is rendering the v2 obsolete, and discontinued.  I understand.  But I also dream!  But, I am of the Sith, and will relish my GB Dominix v2 LE opposing AB Dominix v2.  Mods to follow, including emitter reshaping/reworking, thumbsrews (yay!), hopefully someday a recharge port for the both of them, and greebles...  When I figure out the switch thing, I'd like to upgrade them too...

Yay saberstaff!

Been mulling over which saber to get my younger brother-in-law for his birthday next month, and just couldn't pick. He's a Jedi sorta dude, but he does love him the Sith fashion sense. I figured I'd leave it up to the force and went with a grab bag (paid for metal and blazing red, though). We'll see what shows up.

Also picking up my second saber at the same time. Metal Grab bag with Adegan Silver (so I can play with my Lee Color gels). Also, I've seen photos of a few people's AS sabers on here, and it just looks sweet. I figure whatever it is, it'll be a good playmate for my DSI with Arctic Blue.

Man... I hate the waiting game.

Post by: imperialknight23 on October 21, 2011, 06:18:34 AM
now begins the wait for my last (hopefully not) saber for a long while (you all know the story from my post in "off topic")

Ordered the Bellicose, with silver blade holder, blue accent button (crap as i write this i realize i think i want bronze, but its .50 more......) with quick disconnects with DVA and an MLS unit in AB.  Also got the Li-Ion setup.

its my first purchase of a few things.  first purchase of a hilt 12" long and a blade 36" long.  first Li-Ion, QD, and DVA and AB.  also first hilt i spent over $100, heck even $200. came out to 215-10 from rewards.

hope they can change my order for that bronze button.  gives it that Old Republic feel


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: imperialknight23 on October 21, 2011, 06:44:27 AM
Sent an e-mail to deep for the change in button accessory.  Its so small a thing, i hope it doesn't aggravate them.   :-[

bronze just seems much more un-bias with different colors in the blade.  with DVA and AB the natural choice was blue, but something seems off about the red blue and green buttons. 

I'm not a big looks kinda guy, but this is also the first saber with more customization options.  like every saber purchase, and i'm sure we all share the same sentiment, i just want it to be perfect.

oh dont worry brother, i know they give quality.  it goes both ways though, some people will be deterred some will be amazed.  besides, if anything does happen, it will give them a chance to experience some Ultra Customer Service, although it would be very distressing if it was their first order.

Update on that Bellicose, super crazy fast build time!  I ordered 11PM on thursday, and was shipped out Friday night.  1 day!  ONE DAY!  too bad its the weekend i think i would have received it in 2 days.  if i ordered on a monday would have been here on thursday.  Beat THAT everyone else!
With the super fast build time though, one might expect a haphazard job, but we know thats not the case, and i have faith that Ultrasabers makes Quality no matter how fast they build.

i dont think it matter too much (although we all still feel the impatience) after the first saber.  cause you have one in your hand while waiting for the other.  that initial purchase though was like hell.

even more note, when its crunch time for the delivery, like say 24 hours, it will be the longest day of your life.  then when its delivery day, the hours seem like days and the seconds seem like hours.  time slow down till that triumphant arrival of the UPS guy.  (even better if it was a hot UPS chick, then it would be the best day EVER)

No kidding. My Bellicose came, and I was freaking. I wasn't home. Online said it was delivered. Then I got an email saying I wasn't home, so they'd try again tomorrow, then I got home and there was a note on the door saying they would try tomorrow AND it had been left someplace else. Then FINALLY hours later as I was leaving on a frustrated walk to try and forget about my precious missing saber and UPS fiasco.... my neighbor flagged me down on his way out for the evening and was kind enough to run back into his house and bring out my package. :) I almost died of relief right there when he said he had a package for us. LOL

if you are shipping to your house, they have this new service called UPS my choice.  If you know you arent gonna be home, you can have them deliver it next door, or give them instructions, or you can pick it up at the main hub for your area.

You will not be disappointed brother.

As a SY lover, Get a Mid-Grade, the color will look much better.

and that gold or bronze button with teh brown leather will give it a look That I know very well.

I love leather working, and wraping my hilts. They all have their own personality.

Awesome thanks for the advice! What about a heavy grade? cuz i'm looking at sparring a bit with it.

I agree.

I have a pleathora of medieval swords at my house so i'm used to hldong onto a leather grip. It just makes me feel so much more comfy, you know?

This is a popular misconception - that midgrade blades aren't suitable for much dueling.  It really depends on HOW you're going to duel with it... Artorius and I duel like crazy with our midgrades and go moderate strength, and we have NEVER had a blade break.  The heavy grade is effectively heavier (of course lol) and more stiff (due to the thicker walls) - to me this makes it more dangerous, so I actually prefer the midgrades.  They're lightweight, brighter, and safer.  I only really recommend the heavy grade to people looking to do some seriously heavy dueling, in which case I would also recommend some serious protective equipment.

Post by: Dark Lord Proscidior, Titus Solvan on October 28, 2011, 06:17:39 PM
And lo, I find myself, yet again, playing the waiting game. Not more than a couple weeks after the pair of metal grab bags, I put in an order for a Dark Initiate v3 LE in BR with HG (as an offhand partner for my Dark Standard Issue v2 in AB) and another metal grab bag (this time in random color). I think US has started slipping crack into the boxes with the sabers. Since June I've got from /no sabers/ to (as soon as these arrive) four.

I really love the pair of grab bags that I got just prior to this (Dominix v2 in BR and Aeon v2 in AS) because they make a /really/ excellent pair of sabers (they very much look like opposites of each other), but the Dominix is going away as a gift. It's almost a shame to split them up. Then again, the Dominix is going to my brother in law, so there's a sorta poetry about it. If nothing else, they'll get to spar with each other (I wholly admit to wanting a sparring partner as being a big part of why I bought him a saber).

Aaaaanyway...

Regarding the blades, I personally prefer the heavy grade blades for the heft inasmuch as the durability. Though Nero's right, if you're sparring with those, either be SUPREMELY careful, or gear up. They can and /will/ break bones if care isn't used. It's effectively like sparring with wooden bokken.

Interestingly enough, I like both the UE and non UE blades, it's all a matter of the color shooting into it. My DSI in AB (imo) looks WAY better with an UE blade, Blazing Red, otoh, looks SOOOOOO much better in a non UE blade (AND it's true what everyone says, BR is /RED/ in person, not at all orangey like the photos). The AS on my Aeon... I dunno, I like it in both, for different reasons. Since I'll also be Lee filtering it, it's nice to have both types to play with.

The 2-3 week lead time is mostly for US to cover their butts. *knocks on his head* Knock on wood, all of my sabers have shipped within 1-2 days of ordering, often the same day, if the order is placed early enough. Admittedly, I also haven't ordered anything terribly odd, so that probably doesn't hurt.

They got here this afternoon just a little before I had to slip off to class for the afternoon.

The DIv3 LE is a NICE hilt. It's light and fast as hell to whip around. It's a bit big for an initiate, imo, but that's probably to leave room for sound and LiOn.

The grab bag turned out to be a Dark Inititate v2 in VA. A little surprising, since I didn't think initiates showed up as grab bags (but considering the UEHG full size blade and the VA LED, it's still a good value). VA's a damned satisfying color, though I think it looks better with a normal heavy grade, instead of an ultra edge blade. Thankfully I've got a few to swap around.

Now that I've got a good stable of sabers, I think it's time to start saving up for one with sound.

How often do they have grab bag sales?  I wouldn't mind picking one up just to beat into oblivion or use in adverse conditions.  It sucks they start at $40 and you take the chance of getting a PVC hilt X(

Seems kind of pricey considering you can spend $60 on a v2 with non premium color/barebones and spend about $55 on a fully random grab bag that possibly could be PVC X(

Post by: Dark Lord Proscidior, Titus Solvan on November 02, 2011, 06:28:01 PM
I don't know that I've ever seen a SALE on grab bag sabers, but that doesn't mean they don't.

As for price, it all depends. I haven't gotten a grab bag saber yet that wasn't worth at /least/ what I spent on the grab bag purchase. If you have a specific want, grab bags aren't generally the way to go. But if you want a saber, and don't know what you want, they're a great way to go. If you absolutely don't want a PVC hilt (though I hear they're a ton of fun to customize), you can just pay $10 to guarantee a metal one. Also, once you get a few sabers in hand (which you will, seriously, do ANY of us just stop at one US?), you don't really need to buy a blade with the grab bags (though it's a cheap way to get one), since you can swap them between hilts.

Grab bags are a gamble, but that's part of the fun. When you're building up an arsenal, as much to have sabers for others to borrow as anything else, they aren't a bad way to go.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: wings516 on November 02, 2011, 06:35:41 PM

PVC should be just as easy as metal customization given you have some basic tools though.  I never looked at it from that perspective either.

Just a couple of minutes ago I got an email from US about my FoC-ing Overlord being shipped :D :D    No word from either FedEx or UPS as how they shipped it.  I'm guessing it will be Monday before it arrives.

you should buy us all a saber   :D

Well TBCH.....

The,

Catalyst and DSI, are not mine but I am the official saber armory, since my friends all come to us more than we go to them. IDK why.

The other two were bought with points. ;D

I got the new liberator the same day they released it.

I have a gnarly love affair with FO and even though I will get my old Liberator fixed. I had to have the new one with the Li-Ion set up.

Believe me if I could I would. I never thought this place would be so welcoming.

Forums have become the new comic shop.

Just found out that mine was shipped via FedEx also.  IDK, kind of like just getting the one email from US saying it has shipped then clicking to be redirected to the FedEx site for tracking.  Will wait and see what condition the package is like, but with all the bubble wrap that is used I doubt anything could go wrong (crosses fingers, knocks on wood, rubs lucky rabbit's foot).

SOOO glad to hear things going out Fed-Ex! Some of you know my last order had a couple issues with UPS, and I mentioned it to Deep who told me they were having a meeting with a Fed-Ex rep that day (some time back now) and I guess it looks like something came of it. :)

Doesn't it seem like every time you click on "click here for lightsabers" something new catches your eye? Or is it just me? Just so I know if I'm an idiot or not, does anyone know exactly when the Prophecy V3 popped up? See, when I first looked at the US site the VERY FIRST saber I looked at was the Prophecy. The only thing I DIDN'T like about it was no sound. Today, when I looked at sabers w/sound, there it was! Prophecy V3 with sound! Very excited, can order that NEXT WEEK! I would only wish for its dark twin (Dark Prophecy V3, please? Please, Ultra?) cuz I am kinda dark side, after all. Still, coolest hilt ever. Similar enough to Luke ANH, but definitely got its own personality. I even have enough $ on hand to get an extra blade and some extra batteries. ;D I wanted to get a staff next, but the Prophecy beckons, after all. lol ;D

I would suggest waiting for the dark prophecy...if you can...I usually can't.   Anyway, just checked the FedEx tracker, my Overlord was in town Friday morning (the 11th), and why didn't they deliver it???  The note FedEx put on the remarks section was "Not due for delivery".   Man, if it's in town...Deliver it!!!

Blast! That's a sexy combo! Lol Darkside point for good taste.


And it's starting to look like I'll be buying my old man an *insert irony* mail in conversion for his own ANH Vader. :) Looks like I'm not the only one with Solo blood in this family, or Skywalker for that matter. He wants it in consular green. (Caedus, anyone?) XD He liked the Ani ROTS better, but he already has the stock vader and wants to get away cheap.

Thanks for the point, Manroon. I knew as soon as I saw the Prophecy V3, exactly what options to go for. :) That Solo and Skywalker blood must be pretty common, those are two of my favorite hilts ever. Gonna have one of each someday. THEN I'll stop buying sabers. Maybe. ;D

We need a Jacen/Caedus mock-up. Parks Sabers has one, but an US one would be awesome (and better)!

I sometimes wonder who's the bigger saber collector..... Spidey, or Tom.... then again Nero and Artorius would seem to be in the running as well. lol Someone should hold a contest to see!

Yeah, it's funny Nero. This is turning out to be the Saber Christmas. I already bought a pair for my Sis and Bro In Law, and then a friend offered to give me the money to get myself a grab bag, then I thought to get him one, I'm building one for my GF, and then I thought last night to get a BR for her Sister. Oh, and I have to order parts from TCSS for custom work on my Sis's blade, as well as for my Dad because he's decided he wants to convert his MR ANH Vader himself. lol So this totals to at least a.... seven saber holiday! XD Let alone if anyone buys me the Luke I want, then it'll be an eight! rofl Ahhhh, addictions....  ;D

I think BR is getting popular right now, I've seen lots of people ordering it lately. Actually quite excited to get it myself, as one of those BR grabs is for me. :) Not normally a sithly man, but I ran with a Vader for a long time and loved it, so it's nostalgic, plus I had the idea for a tribute saber that pretty much had to be red. Gonna be a fun project. Then again, so will all the other mods I have to do! :D

I was wispy washy on BR until I got one in person, and not even because of the dubiously orangey photos. It just seemed so... Pedestrian. Having a couple in person though, I've really grown to love it. I think, however, I foresee a SY and a Pyrestone in my future, possibly BH too.

Kham: with your grab bags, do you order blades anymore, or do you get them without?

The last two I stopped getting blades.  Don't really need anymore. lol

The grab bags tend to be used by our friends that I don't trust not to drop/break one of the higher end sabers.

I would like a SY in the future. Possibly tuned to a darker, honey gold color, but I may save the honey blade for my planned custom.

And though it wasn't addressed to me, I'll say that I still order blades. I like to have spares, and not have to trade many out all the time. Plus, they are a great value with the Grab Bag at half off. :)

It's that half off that gets me. That, and since I've started to chop all my 36" blades to 32", each blade nets me some tube for making hilt plugs.

My next trick, I think, will be to make a modular hilt display (I'm thinking wall mount) and a presentation box for the hilt I'm giving away (wrapping an assembled saber is just too much of a giveaway).

I did a display rack for my collection out of Pine. Turned out nice, I would encourage you to pursue your own display for your sabers. A word of advice? A lot of people tend to want to display sabers with the blades, often lit for effect. I elected to build my rack to display hilts only, laid on their sides. Almost like a Katana display. I've gotten loads of compliments on it, and I couldn't be happier with the look myself. It feels more real, looks more real, takes up less space, and is more unique than the standard wall mounts. Plus, it leaves more room to customize. :) But I'm getting off topic. The real point here, is that TJ has bought a new saber for the first time in forever, and may do so again soon. This is a cause for happiness!  ;D

The Black Friday deal was something I just couldn't turn down.

Waiting for a Phantasm Initiate V3 saber staff with Sentinel Yellow and a Ultraedge blade.

I decided to see how the Ultraedge looks without the heavy grade added.  I am, however, concerned about durability as people seem to be advocating for midgrade but after looking at some photos it looked like ultraedge looked "better" than normal midgrade.

I'm also concerned about the coupler getting in the way of my hands.  It looks somewhat uncomfortable from the site photos.  I mean, it certainly isn't a Darth Maul coupler, that melds perfectly with the saber staff, but I digress.

We'll see.

Now I need to find some people in the Palo Alto area.

Yay! The wait is over! My pyrestone Archon v2 with FO FoC came in today! I probably won't do an actual review until after Christmas (since it's my gift this year), but after a brief check of all the bits and bobs, I'm in heaven.  ;D

I'm waiting for my Raven... I got it, love it, then an hour later I bricked it trying to update the sounds using the old software. Ultra has had my saber for a week now... Eagerly awaiting the repair.

My first saber ordered right before the Black Friday sale was over:
- Shock LE
- Sunrider's Destiny
- Ultraedge Blade
- Li-Ion Setup
- Obsidian with Green A/V Switch
- Quick Disconnects

Fell in love with this hilt after seeing a couple of review videos, and had a real tough time choosing between SRD and Fire Orange...hopefully my first one will be nice enough to convince me to get more later =D  Also planning to get some Initiate stunts for the kids if this one is really nice.  The Black Friday pricing for the sound + AV upgrade really pushed me over the edge on buying this.  Can't wait until it comes in!

Just placed an order for my first saber...

Overlord with RGB, ultraedge blade and Obsidian sound! 

Funny how I got caught up in all this.  I originally found this website because for a New Year's party I'm going dressed up as Obi-Wan.  I've been piecing together the costume for the past month or so and I came across the Hasbro lightsabers but quickly decided I wanted ones that looked even cooler and brighter and had louder and better sounds.  Next thing you know I'm here paying a lot more than I ever intended to and I couldn't be happier!

Hey Saber Forum! I just ordered my first saber earlier today!  Quick Ship Phantom V3: Ultra-Edge Heavy Grade Blades and Guardian Blue LEDs.  I absolutely can not wait for it to arrive!  About how long might a quick ship saber take to get over here to Georgia?  Unfortunately, it's Friday, so no shipping will happen for the next 2 days (the only reason I'm not happy it's Friday, of course)  I'm glad to now be part of this hobby and community.  Now, if only I could get some of my friends into it.  Shouldn't be too hard; a lot of them are hardcore Star Wars fans.

@ Talanton Fatedueler:  It depends on what shipping method.  Like you said, it is Friday and probably won't be looked at until Monday.  2-3 business days would put it at Wed for actually shipping from US, then figure how many days it will take depending on what shipping method you paid for.

Post by: BlessedWrath on December 17, 2011, 02:27:13 AM
Haven't made the order yet, but plan to within the next week or so. If I can get all that I want out of it, here's what I'm ordering:

RGB Overlord
-FoC Silver
-Recharge Port (If offered)
-Custom-placed Covertec: Rotated 90 degrees to the right of the ignition switch, but placed near the pommel, like normal.
-Obsidian Inductee Soundboard
-Heavy-grade Blade
-Standard Switch

I eventually want to get a coupler and adapter, for the "poor man's crystal chamber" effect. I thought about just ordering all the parts and making my first saber a personal experience, but there's no guarantee I'd do it right. I want to wait until I know more about the technology before I go elbows-deep in its guts.

The Overlord was my second choice. I wanted these options installed in a Guardian because I simply like that hilt the best of all available choices. I suppose Consular would have been a very close third. I may still go cheap and get the Dark Initiate, like I was going to originally, but they don't offer quick-disconnects.

Absolutely the worst part of it is the waiting. I've been waiting for over two weeks to get the money to pay for this and I haven't even ordered it yet. It's 2-3 more weeks before it's even shipped. I don't know how I'll be able to wait that long, but I suppose I must.

This thing is seriously the Cadillac of lightsaber replicas. I nearly wet myself when I found the site.

Thinking to myself, "Ahhh. . .so this is the place.  Too bad I started a new post without looking through the forum in its entirety."   Well, I am also w patiently waiting for the new sabers to arrive.  Says to myself, "Talking about sure does seem to help."  I keep extracting a single hair from my head for each passing hour. . .and if it doesn't hurry, I'll have to move to the side of the head. . .DOH!  I couldn't help myself, so I purchased a Prophecy, Overlord, and Warglave.  Double: Doh Doh!  There goes another hair.  What I am really interested in, is receiving several raven claws (to be attached to the pommel end with the war glave claws on the top.  I'm thinking this will be pretty aggressive.  I plan on taking some pictures of the various setups with different blade options with a nice camera, stay tuned for the pics, should be up within the week (we'll see how soon they are fabricated and shipped.)

That sounds like a really cool setup.  The SY on the Bellicose will look really nice I think.

Does anybody else think the Bellicose looks a lot like some of the TOR saber hilts?

Maybe it's just me.  Unfortunately, I'm not waiting for any new Ultrasabers... although I still have my eye on the Guardian ;)

I must have that Corn holder.;D

Which accessory button color are you going with?

I went with the bronze for my PO.

Thinking back if I had known about SY before I ordered every other saber...........sad to say I think they would all be SY.lol


Oh and don't forget Master Nero and I require pictures so we can approve the sabers awesomeness.

Yh, i like how its sort of a mixture of old rep style, graflex and the tfu2 promo saber.
It will look just right on my shelf next to my consular and my fx luke.

Sorry bout spelling your name wrong Kham that must be my dyslexia talking :)
and thanks for your SY initiate reviews thats what sold me!
Im going with the bronze button too! It had to be that or gold,
but with far more "classic" sabers having bronze accents, it just feels right.

And i promise to have many many pics, myb even some video

You my friend, are very, very welcome.

I know for a FACT you wont be disappointed. The Bellicose is a CHOICE saber, very easy to wield and well SY, I don't think you fully understand hoe big your smile will be the moment it ignites.

ALTHOUGH, For Christmas I did buy my Best Friend an Archon v2 in AS(since he is the reasonable, "Pure", mentor guy, lol.) with the alternate pommel.

I am going to take a picture of all of them standing next to the wall so people can see the differences in size. Although most have been customized so some are different lengths.

I am getting awaiting for my Shock LE in Fire Orange to arrive this thursday, it has a midgrade blade and Obsidian sound w/ a red AV switch, and my fiance's awaiting for her Dark Warglave in Violet Amethyst (or hopefully bane's heart if she wrote the right things in the comment box) with Obsidian and a blue AV. I ordered the Shock LE for the reason of it being the closest to my custom designs to be easlily modded (thread with mod plans can be seen here http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4537.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4537.0) ) It's our first Ultrasabers, so we're both impatiently waiting!  ;D

 Ultrasabers Obsidian Sound-board!!!! After scouring the internet, the only things I find out there for boards are recycled Hasbro & MR's I did find one high end board & it looks like they have a-lot of them, Just leaning more towards an Obsidian (feeling like an impatient kid for parts :)
 & Back on thread track ,very close to ordering a Consular in either blazing red with red FOC, or Amber & Silver FOC. This will make my 2nd Ultrasaber & Something tells me that these things can be a bit addicting

Its a bit longer than average, but keep in mind they have a 2-3 week waiting time for a new saber.  Granted it doesn't often take this long, but it varies depending on their schedule.  Also, a conversion may take longer... I've never gotten one myself (apart from my custom job).

My advice is wait another week and then email them using [email protected].

It SHIPPED!!!!!!!  I guess I go from mashing My Acct to mashing Fedex Tracking until it updates.

I'm good with whatever I get.  I have no hidden hopes of getting a "high-end" hilt because I've got the wife's approval for one for my B-Day in March.  It's actually a good thing it's two months away because I still can't settle on the one I want.

Right now it's Consular w/ black war glaive emitter and silver claws but that's been done to death on these boards.  The other intriguing choice is an Archon V2 w/ silver war glaive emitter and black claws, blazing red LED, red power switch and possibly the guardian pommel.   Umm... if anyone has that setup available I'd LOVE to see it.  I know Kannik (?) posted something similar in the Gallery.

Finally got payed and ordered my first Ultrasaber.

I got a Phantasm V3 LE. But I requested that one of the hilts be a Dominix V3 LE since I am planing on dual wielding and also letting my friend use one and duel against him. The colors are SRD for the Aeon hilt, and SY for the Dominix. With HG Ultraedge blades since as stated I will be fighting with them.

I will definitely put up pics and a review when I get it. I'm just so happy to finally be getting a fighting saber.

Currently toying with this idea, I'll have the cash for it next month sometime, let me know what you think:
Consular in Consular Green w/Quick Disconnect
Obsidian sound with Red AV switch(considering Green AV could use some advice)
I also want a Blazing Red MLS w/QD and a Guardian Blue MLS w/QD
I've decided I don't want a RGB saber, but want the ability to swap colors.
Also toying with adding an Archon V2 Emitter(w/neck) and Pommel for extra customization.

Lemme know what you guys think, and I'll post pics in the appropriate thread when I recieve the order.

Question, how long dose it take to process a grab bag or any saber for that matter?

It should say on the site.  Grab bags are quick, probably a couple days at most (since they're pre-fabricated).  New sabers tend to take anywhere from a couple days to a week, although they give you 2-3 weeks as a disclaimer.

Thanks.  I was going to order it in SY... then I read (somewhere on here) that someone had great success with a Lee yellow filter.  I have a Lee swatch book & I've always been curious about the AS so... why not?  I DID think ahead and get it quick disconnect so if the AS or the filters just don't do it for me, I can always order a SY module.

It's so hard to 'stick' with a color.  In the last few days before ordering, totally out of left field, I was thinking seriously about Pyrestone Orange.  The final, deciding factor was showing Adegan Silver to my wife & getting a positive response, and since the Consular makes saber #5, why not get it in a color she approved?  Gotta keep the HFC (Home Finance Committee) happy!  After all, she went along with me 'needing' these latest additions.

Brief Story:

Weeks ago me and some friends started saber fighting weekly, we were just using the $30ish dollar sabers from walmart, the LED ones. Then one night, browsing information about sabers and saber fighting.. I stumbled across this website! I did a bunch of research, then showed it to my friends and pretty much sold them on UltraSabers in the span of 30 minutes with some videos and browsing the website, haha.

The next day, one friend ordered his first.. and that set off a chain of my friends having bought 5ish UltraSabers now!

Then for my birthday back on the 28th, they surprised me and ordered my 'dream' saber by pooling their money for my birthday gift! I'm still stunned and insanely excited.

They placed the order last Friday:

Hilt: Consular
Blade LED Color: Arctic Blue
Blade Option: UltraEdge Heavy Grade
Battery Configuration: Li-Ion Setup (Batteries & Universal Charger Included)
Sound: Yes, Obsidian USB Sound! (Obsidian Inductee Price)
Flash on Clash: No Flash
Quick Disconnect: Sure, Add Them!
Shroud Finish: Standard Finish
Tip: Round Tip (Normal Lead Time)

No shipping confirmation yet, but I know it'll be here in two days once it ships. I keep checking the e-mail constantly! ;)

Well my sabers just got here, my first order and now I know for sure I'll be buying more:) but sadly my comments went unnoticed and instead of Sentinal Yellow on my Dominix it is the Violet Amethyst I picked to make up for the cost of a forum color. Whats worse is I am quickly falling in love with the color and I might just have to keep it, then one day I'll get another Dominix and just fill the comment box with Sentinal Yellow a hundred time just to be safe....then I will have one wicked staff.

But anyway I am very happy with the sabers and can't wait for my friend to get here so we can duel.

Edit - Also wanted to say I will post up some pics soon in the gallery section.

Best thing to do is to keep your self busy. Like asking tons of questions that you might want to know about your saber, or other sabers. Venting the (I WANT MY SABER  >:( ) helps alot and keeps you from killing other ppl.  8)

The Violet Amethyst may grow on you! Purple sabers rock. :) The Dark Violet Amethyst is better, IMO. But I'm sure US would be glad to fix it for you.

Well that is true, just messing around with it, it is growing on me. Also in terms of brightness/clarity of color my Master Replica Mace Windu saber looks kinda sad and pathetic. I have no doubt that US will do their best, there are a lot of posts on here talking about their amazing customer service. And color mix-up aside the hilts are awesome and I'm happy either way which is what counts.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Its not the end of the world, and don't worry I will own a Sentinel Yellow saber soon enough.

I have just ordered my first US, Aeon v3 Consular Green. Can't wait till I get my hands on it and start whacking everyone around :D No sound on this one but if (hopefully when) I'm ordering my next US, I'll add another Aeon in the mix to make a staff with sound.

If it's even half as cool as seen in all the vids and pics I think you can expect many new orders from Finland as well, several friends are also interested to see how it looks like. Too bad shipping takes a long time and its propably another week or so before I can enjoy my first ever lightsaber...

Obsidian/Flash War Glaive and Stunt Overlord.  I know that it was only Monday when I got them but man do I want them to be here in my hands right now.  I am also patiently awaiting some Taco restaurants to open since somebody had to mention Tacos on the forum while I was at work and now I want Tacos. 

I promise to post videos as soon as they arrive.

It seriously feels like an eternity doesn't it? My blazing red Bellicose with silver FoC and red AV switch shipped Saturday, and will be here Friday but it feels like it has been a month.. I think the closer it gets to Friday, the more time slows down. UNBEARABLE

Yay, finally got my Aeon v3 with consular green. The saber is AWESOME.

It's so bright that after spinning it around in a dark room for a minute or two (took the lights out by hitting the lamp with my blade... :D ) the darkness just swallowed everything when I turned it off . Luckily the force allows you to see in the dark though.

Anyways, I'm very happy owner of a new US lighsaber now :)

I order a Dark Warglaive with a Fire Orange blade and Obsidian soundboard. I have always wanted an orange lightsaber and now thanks to the wonderful people at Ultrasabers I can have that lightsaber. I also won the raffle and I came in 2nd place, I won the Guardian with guardian blue and the obsidian soundboard. It is magnificent. I am waiting on parts and then they will ship it out to me. I should have it by next Friday. I am stoked and in the mean time I can enjoy my free lightsaber. 8)

Okay so some of you may remember tyat I've been waiting for my brother's saber to arrive...he doesn't know it's coming. I ordered it AFTER close two Fridays ago. So theoretically if US took the weekend off (which for their sake's I hope they do) they wouldn't have gotten the order until Monday morning. Five days later on Friday, a week from when I ordered, it was shipped. Now another five business days later, it has arrived!!! Pics will be on a thread after he gets back from school. Talk about fast production and shipping times though!! I love US!!!!!!! and a couple more !!!!!!s lol

Mine too, haha.  I won't be home from work till tonight, though, so as long as the truck gets there before I do I'll be alright.  I already ordered all the hilts I specifically wanted, so it's a random no specifications grab bag.  We'll see what turns up.

I came home to a box leaning against the door in perfect condition.  I left the box on the bed surronded by cats, and they sniffed it and left it alone -.-  It seems I am doomed to having a box containing possibly 2 US' in it unable to open it until Tuesday.  I feel the dark side pulling it to me.  -.-

(Whispers and waves hand) Open the box. You can always BLAME it on the cats. You know you want to. ;)

No, I feel your pain. My order for my Anakin ROTS is still processing. Sigh... I asked for a pointed tip, Pyrestone Orange, and a 32" inch blade, so I can see why this one might take a little while, I guess I only ordered it on Saturday. Just impatient and itching to hold the saber in my hands! At the very least, NavyGodzilla, you know exactly where yours is. That should be SOME comfort.

Right out of the box the Adegan Silver blew me away.  The Dark Violet Amethyst looked more Violet Amethyst to me BUT those batteries were not fully charged, hoping to be a little 'Darker' once fully charged. Pics coming soon(after I do some work around the house).

Very nice!  Yeah the DVA is really a deep indigo color when you have full power batteries.  Towards the end of the battery life it definitely shifts to a more VA, and eventually pinkish hue.

I'm glad to see all the love for Pyrestone!  It is definitely my favorite and the color choice for my main sabers and, nothing against fire orange, but it's good to have another menacing color in the mix.  Not many of them floating around either, unless it's another US and your friends don't honor the code of the force wielder (which we all know is: don't steal your friend's color!)

Spider,

You will never regret it.  I remember getting that Archon V1 via Grab Bag for Christmas and I was hooked.  I worked on building a Red LED one to match it so that I could have one available for a duel if needed.  Then along came the Facebook Raffle and my wife lost her mind and agreed to let me buy a fully tricked out War Glaive due to something nice I said or something.  So right now, I am sitting at four sabers and about to build myself a green one and my daughter one.  Ultra was my inspiration for building one for my daughter after watching a video about the one he did for his niece and his son.

Got a Blazing Red Consular with Sound UHG blade.  She also got it as a QD, not to shabby :).  I love this saber, and living out in the country I am going to take it for some practice tonight.  I'll post pics as soon as I can. 

P.S. She likes the saber so much herself she is considering just doing some grab bags.  As you can imagine I am encouraging her:).

Never going to happen. ;D

That would mean those people are weak, if Yellow represents a color leading towards a more aggressive and the person cannot fight the urge to turn to the dark side; They are weak.

Yellow is too Happy a color to be for the Sith.

Listen to me go. lol (I guess I really like yellow...)

So I sent shipping an email and they are out of the office from 2/10-2/15. They said that they will begin responding to emails on the 16th. So I'm really, really, really hoping that my lightsaber is done and gets shipped tomorrow like Emory had stated in a previous email. I'm just a bit frustrated with the lack of information.

I still have no knowledge of my order information because no one is responding to my emails since the 16th. It's very upsetting for me, I have clue if my order is done, if it is shipped, or anything. I have emailed [email protected] and I have emailed [email protected] and I have no further information. I want my Dark War Glaive w/ Fire Orange now.
So now I play the waiting game and I f**king hate it.

Did you check your account on US website? I ordered my Bellicose last 02/03 and it got shipped after 2 weeks (well within the promised 2-3 weeks in the product page).

Yes I have checked my account. It say that it shipped. But that's not the case in this situation. That order that shipped was for my raffle prize and the confirmation number was for my prize too. So I don't know what to do. It says my Dark war glaive w/ FO shipped but that is not true. So I'm stuck without any info.

Ok, if I were you this is what I would do:

1.  Check my credit card account and make sure the purchase went through.  My first order for my War Glaive did not go through and therefore I had to place the order a 2nd time.  It showed on my Credit Card account immediately.

2.  If your credit card has been charged, check your account on the home page.  If it says shipped and has given you a tracking number, then that is your purchased saber.

3.  It is possible that your free saber has been sent with the purchased saber at the same time. 

4.  Keep in mind that these guys had a tremendous amount of orders prior to their time away from the production center.  They are working weekends to get these sabers done.  I know this because I received a notice on a Saturday that they shipped my saber and it was not done Friday at Midnight Eastern Time.

5.  If all else fails, try to find a telephone number for them and call.

My debit say the payment was accepted. My order has not shipped even though it says it has. My prize came separately. It actually cam first after the raffle winners were announced. Emory had stated to me that my order was to be shipped on the 17th. and I had a 2 day shipping put on it. The tracking number was for my prize not my purchased order. I am extremely upset, I know they're busy but some sort of communication would be very helpful, especially for a business.

Your frustration is understandable however, complaining about it on the forums will not help you find your items, nor will it tell you the current location and status of your items, so: don't do it.

im not trying to be nasty, but i fail to see what you are trying to achieve, you've done everything you can, now just be patient.  US are not crooks, they will help you.

I'm sorry about that, I know it can be very frustrating when you really want to see your purchase in your hands already!  I'm in the same boat, but I know they have lagtimes in communication due to catch up (which they're doing after their one week break), so I trust that we'll all have what we're looking for soon enough.

I hope you get a response (and your saber) very soon!

@B3nny56 - if you're not careful that just might happen!  I'll pretty much guarantee as soon as you unwrap that sucker you'll want to grab a few more... (and btw they are WAY better for dueling than the Force FX).

New to the forums here, and I just ordered my first saber! So, details... Dark War Glaive in BR, mid grade blade (I can always order a heavy grade one if I need the extra durability for sparring). I also opted for the Obsidian sound board with the red-illuminated AV switch. No quick disconnect (I don't see me ever turning this into a "Jedi" saber) and no FoC. (saved money and I didn't really want the RGB setup). Oh, having a covertec wheel installed also.

The only thing that had me in a dilemma were the claws...I couldn't decide if I wanted black or silver. So I decided to do something a little different, and got BOTH! I'm having them mismatch the claws for me, two black and two silver, alternating. So as you turn the saber, it'll be black/silver/black/silver.

If I end up hating it I can always just order two more claws of whatever color I decide on, but I think I'm going to like the alternating look. Can't wait to see it in person!

I want to get a war glaive someday as well, I think arctic blue would be a nice color to get.
Ima sith but that blue can be cold for us too lol

I know you're not being nasty and I know they are crooks. If I believed they were I would have never order from them. And my complaints are legitimate. I found out the information I wanted by the way. I got an email from emory. He seemed fairly frustrated in that email. All I wanted to know was when my order was ready would my tracking number re-populate in my order information. No one could tell me anything and I finally found out.

I got my response. He seemed a bit short with me. All I wanted to know was if it shipped on last Friday like he had said and when it does, will my order status auto populate a new tracking number and it will. So in about a week I will have my Dark War Glaive with FO, obsidian sound board w/ Blue AV switch. Eeeeeeeeeeee! so Stoked!!!!

Can't really blame him, the amount of emails he has been getting lately just from people asking why he won't answer, where are their orders, etc has to be pretty infuriating. At work when people ask the same question many times it tends to make the end of the day a not so happy one.

the problem i was having is that there are two emails that Emory suggests, [email protected] and [email protected], i honestly didnt know which one i was supposed to be using. 

that's until i noticed everything was being handled through the shipping email and sure enough when i wrote to that one, i got a reply from that one.

on btw, to stay on topic, just got my shipping confirmation for my 2 CE Prophecies, guardian blue ultra edge midgrade, just like meh sig :D feb 22 estimated delivery.

Okay, so I ordered my saber on the 3rd, and it is still processing. Should I be concerned, or give it another week or so? I know US has probably been crazy lately, just watching the traffic on the forum. ;)
I think I'll send an email next week if the status remains unchanged. It becomes VERY hard to be patient.
Oh well, that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger, right?

It's always hard to wait, especially when you see other people getting their sabers.  They're clearly very busy so I wouldn't be too concerned, but feel free to shoot them an email if you don't hear anything in about a week.

EDIT:  My Consular has shipped!  It will be here Thursday!  Thanks a lot Ultrasabers, now I can have something to wear on my hip alongside Artorius when we see TPM in 3D  ;D

So my Dark War Glaive with FO and obsidian soundboard, Blue AV switch will here tomorrow. Fudge yah!!! I have always wanted an orange lightsaber since I was just a young grey Jedi and now, thanks to fine folks at Ultrasabers, I will finally have my dream lightsaber.
I can't express the excitement, as you all felt when you ordered the lightsaber of your dreams, it makes me feel like a kid again. I came in second with the raffle and won the Guardian w/ Guardian Blue and it is magnificent. Two of my favorite colors in the form of lightsaber.
I used to use those colors in the original Xbox game, Star Wars: Jedi Academy.  :) ;D :D 8) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Alright buys I just got my first shipping e-mail from US about my Consular with Obsidian sound in Green! I got it with the Red AV switch and Quick Disconnects and also ordered a Red LED MLS with QD so I can swap out colors! I am so stoked! Also, US deserves a pat on the back because of how quick it's coming! I ordered it Friday and it's already ready by Sunday! Man, all my friends are gonna be jealous, and hopefully this will push them to invest in their own sabers.

My VA SS Raven shipped today, along with spare blade and CG LED.  Quite excited that if customs doesn't pull some sort of trickery I might have it in my hand before I go on holiday on the 5th.

I've already put two more sabers in my shopping cart (Aeon V3 LE in DVA and initiate V2 LE in SY for dual wielding) that I'll follow through on in a couple of days.  This is an addiction, I swear.

Well, my DWG finally came in this past Tuesday, but unfortunately I now have to play the waiting game again. Today I had to ship it back to US so they can fix a couple of issues I'm having with it. I'm glad that they are taking care of it and I'm pleased with the saber itself... but it sucks to have to wait once again...

Ordered two grab bags in random colours which can be here as early as Saturday.  Curious though if anyone has ever gotten a grab bag that had sound?

Somebody might have, once.  It was never really confirmed.

Basically the only way you'd get one with sound is by mistake, so your chances are really quite low...

(Just don't want you to get your hopes up!)

Okay, since I paid the cash and it's getting really close to my house, I updated my signature to include my consular w/obisidian sound in CG. It's only 139 hours from my house!!! I want to sleep until tomorrow so it can just be here already!!!!!!!

I'm so exited I typed 139 hours when i meant 139 MILES, oops.
You're gonna love it.  I love mine!

I saw the pics of you and MAV(i think i got that right) going to EP1 and was really glad I went online and ordered a covertec clip for my Consular when it gets here. I also ordered an  Archon emitter and neck, a coupler(crystal chamber, and other ideas) and a Red MLS so this thing is going to be super swappable depending on mood. I can't wait. Class is over for the week(gotta love Community college) and I am literally stuck counting the hours. But I'll get to show it off to my Star Wars Minis group at my local card and game shop tomorrow(says it should be here by end of day) and I'm gonna try to do a review if i get my camera charged by then lol.

No hopes to raise, just a curious thought.  In my opinion the grab bag is such a good deal that there is no need to raise you hopes.  You already getting an awesome saber.  Everything else is just icing on the cake.

I finally got my Dark War Glaive w/ Fire Orange. Blue AV switch and the Obsidian soundboard. This post a bit late I just wanted to share my joy with you all. I also plan on ordering an Ultra Edge Blade, it just makes the orange ... Pop! Oh and I took the pommel from the Guardian I won in the raffle and put it on my Dark War Glaive. The Guardian actually looks good with the Dark War Glaive's pommel

Based on what I've read, that sounds accurate, but I bet it's totally different  when you're actually holding one and saying that <evil laughter> Also, I forgot to mention, it has Obsidian, so that should further lock me in.

Recently made my first purchase, a Prophecy v3 in Arctic Blue and a Dark Standard Issue v3 in Blazing Red both with UltraEdge Heavy blades but without sound.

I bought the Prophecy v3 for myself as my main saber, fell in love with the look of the hilt almost immediately, although I prefer Sith I felt the Prophecy looked best in Arctic Blue. The only person I could possibly duel with is my brother but he's not into dueling at all :( I got the Dark Standard Issue as a spare and in case he changed his mind once he sees the sabers :P. In hindsight I should've just got the Prophecy for myself and had sound added to it, but no regrets! I'm really excited, can't wait.

Scheduled Delivery is Monday the 12th of March but it's only the 6th right now and it's already in my home country and state, is my scheduled delivery date still accurate? I have a hard time imagining it only taking 6 days to go through 5 countries and then another 6 days just to travel across half a state.

Yes!  My Grab Bag just arrived. 
Dark Standard Issue with Guardian Blue.
Dark Liberator with Blazing Red. 

I'm not 100% sure if they are convertable to sound, but I'll say this, they are outstanding.  Now to get a sword rack for the wall to start displaying them proper.

I'm currently waiting for my Grab Bags. Got both in Guardian Blue with Ultra Edge Heavy Grade blades and I ordered an extra blade the same as the Grab Bag blades. One will go to my bro. Hope we get good sabers and that he likes his first Ultra Saber. Hes been wanting one for maybe 2 years by now. :P For now I had 2 and he had none but this weekend or next he should be getting his first saber. Hey how strong are Grab Bags for heavy dueling since I got a heavy dueling blade with them both?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: ThreadJack on March 08, 2012, 02:10:00 AM
Since grab bags are just hilts that have some cosmetic blemishes, or older models they're trying to phase out, they are perfectly fine for dueling.

I'm excited! I just checked my UPS Tracking Information and it says that my sabers were delivered to a place not 10 minutes from my house, since my town is pretty out of the way I guess they're delivered nearby and then picked up by a courier and delivered to the town. So I should get them tomorrow!

By the way, if I get my sabers tomorrow I have to say, what an incredibly fast delivery time.. 8 days from the time I ordered to the time I have them in my hands, and that's traveling from the USA to Australia. Amazing.

Okay, so I have a minor issue- don't even know if it is an issue, really. I received my Anakin Skywalker ROTS FX conversion today, and even though I specified "Pyrestone Orange" in the comments section, the blade is Dark Violet Amethyst. Even though it is not the color I ordered, I REALLY like the way it looks, and I feel like this may be a happy accident, as DVA is my favorite color for blades. I'll post some pics in a few days, get some feedback.

My only complaint so far would be that I wish the SI v3 had a second retention screw holding in the blade, here's some pictures I took, sorry about the shellty quality I took them with my phone.

Fantastic choices.  I recently acquired the Consular, and it's an excellent saber - from what I've seen it looks great in GB too.  Additionally, Artorius had a Prophecy (albeit a V2) in VA, and it's really nice.  If you do intend to wield those two together, I'm sure it will look awesome (blue and purple is a great dual wield combo).

@Trickster - the Shock in SRD is something I've considered getting for a while now, it's a great choice for a Jedi saber.

Well, I ordered mine last Thursday around 4pm central standard. And understandable, Wondercon was going on, so nothing has been done yet. It's still in processing as of now so maybe tomorrow it will ship... Hopefully. I decided to to the grab bag for the simple purpose of good price and the mystery behind what I am gonna get. What hilt will it be? What color will the blade be? From the looks of it, the Liberator is a popular GB item, and they are wicked. I like the SI V2 mostly or the Aeon LE..those would def be top choices. BUT, who knows. I'll just have to wait for my candy...

I'm pretty amazed, I just got the email that my new Consular shipped today, only 3 days after ordering! When I ordered my Overlord about 2 months ago, it took about 2.5 weeks from the time I ordered it to the time it shipped. I assumed that was the standard waiting time, but apparently not! Now to enjoy a week of hitting the refresh button on the UPS tracking site...

About to order my first saber, Dark initiate v3
Blade LED Color:Violet Amethyst
Blade Size:Standard 32" Blade
Blade Option:Heavy Grade
Pommel:Guardian Pommel
Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries & Universal Charger Included)
Sound:Yes, Obisidian USB Sound w/ Blue Illuminated Switch!
Tip::Round Tip (Normal Lead Time)

Also got a silver covertec wheel, and a single Reven claw that may or may not be cut down, also may do some custom work to the emitter. I went with the initiate because I like a slightly smaller hilt despite my large hands, also I absolutely love the simplistic style and the machining.

My Dark Initiate V2 LE is Suppose to arrive some time tommorow. I am as excited as as a June bug at a porchlight sale! The blade color is Arctic blue, to tell you the honest truth, I forgot the specifications of the blade (slightly embarassing). I have some plans for it involving Leather strips, to give it a more of a Rahm Kota look.

Did I mention i'm excited?

Post by: Chainmale75 on April 17, 2012, 11:12:29 PM
Honestly, it has alot to do with how much you ordered, and if they have the stuff you want in stock. I've had 2 different experiences. My big order took about a week to put together, and my recently ordered stunt was shipped the next day. both orders were about a week shipping to Upstate NY.

i just got my fully loaded initiate V3 today.  to my dismay, this is what came out of the box:

(http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n583/Ricktur/DSC03750.jpg)

it was shipped by UPS, they delivered it to the wrong door too.  i had to go to my neighbors house to get my package.  I have already emailed Deep and i have full confidence that a replacement blade will be sent.  kinda bummed though, this is a gift for my wife :(

My very first saber (Aeon) came with the blade bent exactly like that.  I've gotten 5 more since without incident, but for the first one it was a tough break.  Emory hooked me up with a replacement no problem.

My UPS guy came by last night right on schedule.  This was the second week in a row I was getting a saber on the same day.

He asked me if I was buying golf clubs or something..  he looked really disappointed when I told him they were lightsabers.

Post by: KrystheSith on April 19, 2012, 07:31:57 PM
Mine's supposed to get here on Tuesday, I'm recording myself opening it, so I hope it's not bent. Then the internet would see my sad face.

the thing is, any of us who've owned an US know how tough those blades are, something seriously had to smash the hell out of my package for the blade to be irreversibly bent like that.  UPS is a joke.

No, if UPS was a joke we'd be able to laugh. UPS is just.... words cannot convey what UPS is. UPS is like making little girls cry (when they haven't done unspeakable evil to little boys, such as force them to play tea party or something, and you haven't taken candy from them), it's just wrong. Horrible and wrong. With rare exception.

In all seriousness though, I must wonder and hope that US gets some sort of compensation from UPS when things like this happen. Every time I hear about UPS bashing a blade, I hear about Deep sending out a replacement. Even if that doesn't happen all that often, having to replace any part unnecessarily like that eats into US profits, and that isn't fair to the guys.

Then again, one could also saw that Initiate blade down to get rid of the kink and have a super-mini initiate. It'd be interesting to try, using a blade that short.

Post by: Remy Lost on April 22, 2012, 01:25:04 PM
   My company ships 100+ packages a day with UPS, very few get damaged by them but it does happen.  The ones that worry me are the ones that the tracking never properly updates on.  Sometimes it goes the whole trip saying UPS received the tracking number but hasn't actually gotten the package until it gets scanned at delivery.  And there are just as many times that it has just disappeared all together.  We had to start recording the packing and labeling of boxes with a second video showing the UPS guy actually put that label on his truck.  Its a pain but our insurance claims time with them has dropped dramatically.

I got a Phantasm inish. LE with 32" blades coming one Blue the other white and ordered Lee filters for it. It is my first US saber and honestly I could not be more inpatient for it to come. After this assuming I am happy with it I will also get A Prophecy LE and a Monarch. wishing it would come soon =)

I'm impatiently waiting for UPS. US sent out my order the same day that I placed it (fastest ever) but UPS isn't scheduled to deliver it until the 8th. I estimated the 8th based on shipping speed and previous processing speed but when I saw that it was shipped the same day, I was really looking forward to getting it earlier than expected.

BTW specs are: Arbiter, Consular Green, Li-Ion set-up with buckpuck, Obsidian Sound with Green AV switch, no FoC, Quick Disconnect, Sentinel Yellow MLS, free t-shirt, tons of impatience! Gotta get that under control or the Order won't accept me ;P

Hi all! I just submitted my very first US order.

I purchased an Overlord with sound. I have this thing with the color purple, so I got an UltraEdge Violet Amethyst blade. I also splurged and got the nickle plated finish for the emitter and pommel. I absolutely CANNOT wait until my saber gets here!

I also ordered a grab bag saber with a random color and a UltraEdge blade for my son. He's going to be 11 on the 7th and I am sure he is going to LOVE this present!

I'm thinking of getting my daughter a saber too... but no idea what color she would want.

If she likes pink (as many girls tend to) you could try Bane's Heart.  It's a special forum color that is created by tweaking Violet Amethyst to have more red in the mix.

As said before, Bane's Heart is the overall preference for girls. Violet Amethyst is also a good choice, since you both would have matching colors  ;)
You might also want to try the Dark Violet Amethyst, which in my opinion is a far better purple than the VA.

     Just the other day I ordered my FIRST US saber.  It was hard to figure out which saber to buy, literally visual OVER LOAD!  I decided to take a spin and go with the grab bag option.  It seemed a lot of people have fun with this option and I felt like giving it a try.  I went with the random blade choice and I now counting down til its delivery, which is looking like May 16th.  I am very excited!  I WILL be ordering another saber soon, just torn between a couple models.  I really like the War Glaive and the Raven, its the claws.  I was also leaning towards the Monarch or Overlord....ugh decisions decisions!
     I will post what I get as soon as my new saber arrives!  I feel like a kid counting down to Christmas here.  I just joined this forum this morning and having a blast reading all the posts you guys put out!  Definitely makes for a more well rounded website :)  Well that's my two cents worth!

Nope, that's completely normal.  No wait... I'm using my own mindset as normal, when I know I'm a hopeless addict.

  Heck I don't know what I'm waiting on more, my new order to be delivered on Tuesday, finding out what Grab Bag I got with said order or waiting for the raffle winners to be announced on Friday.

  I did get the blade plug with my Consular but it won't be here until Tuesday.  I also ordered a Covetec clip to go with it.  I need to try and get my costume dry cleaned between now and then so I can do another round of pictures with my new Saber.  I thought outfits reeked after conventions, the after clubbing smell is worse.

:) I'm getting SRD, but I'm still curious which saber I'm getting... I'm wondering if I'll end up with a blue one. The colored ones seem dominant right now, so I guess we'll see. I'll be happy either way. Tomorrow, it gets here tomorrow!

Post by: digitalsithlord on May 15, 2012, 01:33:55 AM
Yeah I am wondering which will come I have been able to narrow it down to two by the past posts..its either a colored Liberator or Standard Issue.  I will be happy with either of these, but the more I look at the Standard Issue saber the more I am liking this one.  Will find out tomorrow when UPS heads my way..hopeful this won't be an all day wait.

It would be sort of funny if we got the same saber, but I'm super curious because we ordered them so close together.

Just got mine a few minutes ago..it is now 1853hrs.  UPS stealthily placed upon my front porch and vanished.  Upon opening I received a "RED" hilt liberator v3 (I think) with the Guardian Blue blade.  I got the Ultra Edge Heavy Blade, but this thing is VERY bright blue, SICK :) Very Light in the hands!  I can already feel the craving to order another already beginning to build, hands trembling, wanting to order a saber with sound!  My next one, since this is for my bday, will be the Monarch with all the trimmings! 

Shipping: 10/10
Packing was good...Bubble wrap and packing peanuts galore!
Shipping was prompt

Hilt: 10/10
This is after all my FIRST US lightsaber and for a Grab Bag it is pretty freaking cool!
Love that it had the red color versus the blue I have seen on here!

Blade: 10/10
Even with it being a UEHG this thing is still brilliant and BRIGHT!

This is WAY better than Master Replica!  I simply LOVE IT!  Now I see why all you guys and gals have mini arsenals of lightsabers!
Next one, the Monarch, is getting a sith blade!  I am trying to decide between the silver finish and the nickle, I just love that nickle look!

Pics will be coming I promise!  I have them on my phone just need to post them!
Thank You ULTRASABERS!!!   and to the people of this forum!

Let us know what you got KrystheSith!

No stealthy placement for me... still not here. =\ I even went to check just now, just making sure it wasn't on the stoop. =\ So impatient I know, but I want to know what it is!

It's here! I recorded an unboxing, but I wasn't feeling it, so I'm not posting it. I'm going to re-record a video later... I might add the unboxing clip... we'll see. I got a red liberator. :) I've been calling it my Christmas Saber... maybe I'll name it Holly, because it's got the SRD blade with the Red hilt.

Post by: Veldryne on May 16, 2012, 05:48:55 AM
Srd is amazing I got it on my graflex and it came 2 days ago. It is by far my favorite saber colour now.

No more sabers for me however, until I get my costume put together finally. Now I just have to wait for all that to come in.

Post by: digitalsithlord on May 22, 2012, 09:47:39 AM
Congrats nevet!  Did you get a blue liberator or standard issue?  What type of blade did you go with?  My first saber here was a grab bag, a red anodized red hilt with UEHG guardian blue blade.  I will definitely have to get me another one of these down the road, the mystery of it all is exciting :)

Cheers

Post by: digitalsithlord on May 22, 2012, 09:56:33 AM
I am patiently waiting for my new Dark War Glaive.  I decided for my upcoming birthday that I wanted to order me a new lightsaber from UltraSabers.  I was torn between the Monarch and the Dark War Glaive.  I must admit that the various options that come with the DWG won me over, for the moment.  Here are the options I went with:

Dark War Glaive:
DVA blade color
Mid-grade blade
Silver claws
Quick Disconnect
Obsidian Sound w/Red AV switch
Blade Plug

It was just beckoning to me.....the monarch will eventually be on my next order, once I save up the money to get this one (evil grin)
Pics will follow just as soon as I get it......Since I live all the way on the East Coast I went ahead and shelled out the extra for speedy delivery on this one...didn't think I could take a seven day wait on this one.....Very excited about this one and have read very good reviews from everyone on this saber .....


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Master Bluespike74 on May 22, 2012, 12:24:20 PM
Something you are going to like about the DWG with Silver Claws is how the claws will reflect the light.  The WG series is really cool in the fact that it is really easy get to things and the pommel gives a really nice resonance to the sound.  You are not going to regreat that purchase for sure.

I put raven claws on my last phantom initiate v3 and the light reflects off them and that looks amazing


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Veldryne on May 22, 2012, 05:27:07 PM
no saber this time, boots to go with a costume to make the saber look even better ^_^


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: digitalsithlord on May 22, 2012, 06:38:39 PM
Thanks bluespike....
   This one and the monarch were the two I had my heart set on.  I went with the Dark War Glaive for a number of reasons.  First, alot of people pointed out the various customizations you can do with the War Glaive that you can't with the Monarch.  Second, loved the claws.  Third, it just seemed like a good beast of a saber to have for my first official build here...the only thing I didn't get on this one was the FoC, I do not have anyone to duel so no really reason for it.  I did get obsidian sound with Red AV switch, eventually I am ordering a Red LED to go in this.  My next one WILL be the monarch, it is just simply beautiful to behold.

Post by: JapzLapeno on May 23, 2012, 12:32:35 AM
So my first order here is actually for my wife (yes, my wife, not me, i cry  :'().  Graflex CE, Violet Amethyst, UltraEdge, Li-Ion, BuckPuck, Obsidian, Green AV, Silver flash, Gold buttons.  As this is my first order here (or anywhere for that matter) i'm probably gonna inspect the goods when they get here, maybe tune the motion sensitiveity, definitely take some pics, maybe some vid.

Darn it all, i wanna order one for myself, but finances force me to wait...  I even know what all i want to get myself.  Gorammit all to fracking dren.  Oh sorry, is it ok to curse in Sci-Fi on this forum?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Veldryne on May 23, 2012, 12:37:41 AM
great first buy, i got my graflex a short while ago and love it, look at it this way, going full bore on hers first, and with it being the CE (pretty much making it one of hte most expensive ultrasabers you can get)

she really cant complain when you order one for yourself, since any of them even full everything, will likely come up less than hers did ^_^


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: JapzLapeno on May 23, 2012, 02:03:25 AM
Actually i did the math, and with the MHS and MLS parts i want to get, mine will end up costing more in total.  Though you're right in that she really can't complain.  And she wouldn't because she's awesome like that.  Though she'll probably rub it in my face constantly and forever that i ordered the wrong button color (was supposed to be BRONZE, oops!), because she's like THAT too.   ;D

[Front Button Color:Gold]
[Rear Button Color:Red]

It's a lower price for a limited time. So until that sale is over (and only Ultra and Deep know when that will be), there is a lower price on Obsidian Sound. Normally, I think it's $100...maybe $125

HA HA!!

Finally caught up with the delivery company.

My groomsmen's gifts (and mine):
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1520528/100_4527.JPG)

And switched on:
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1520528/100_4528.JPG)

These things are SWEEEET!!  I wasn't totally sure what to expect in terms of feel, balance and weight but they've totally lived up to my expectations.

The initiate is actually bigger than I imagined, it's got a nice feel to it and would make a great off-hand saber for dual-wield (if I was actually dextrous enough to do so without cracking myself in the head) - very impressed.  I may have to order one for myself in the future.

The prophecy (mine) is beautiful and is simply joyous wield, nice balance beautiful green glow - love it.  I can see how some people might get annoyed by the covertec wheel but my hands are actually on the smaller side and doesn't bother me at all.

The dark liberators are simple but sweet - elegant is perhaps the best way to describe them.  They look awesome in blazing red, the accent holes really set it off and the slight taper in the middle - the thing just melts into your hand, it feels right at home.

As you can probably tell the pics were taken during the day, (inside, but there was plenty of daylight coming in) and I was pleasantly surprised at how bright they were.  I know they'll wash out in the full glory of the sun, as not much stands up to the intensity and brightness of a nuclear furnace, but still they surpassed my expectations.  I am one happy padewan.   ;D

And now for the sad part.  Part of the deal is that they go into hibernation until the wedding.  I got to make sure they were working but since mine is my bride's gift to me...well...they're back in the bubble-wrap, in the box...waiting.

This is a kind of torture, I'm sure of it - but neither the Geneva Convention or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights have a bloody thing to say about the withholding of lightsabers.  So, I'm basically in limbo for the next few months.  :'(

GAH WIFE-TO-BE!!  YOU WIN AGAIN!!...for now...  ;)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: digitalsithlord on May 24, 2012, 10:00:42 AM
Awesome and Congratulations are in order!  Now which one is yours?  Is it the prophecy or the Initiate?  Sorry you have to box them up and wait on them.  I can't imagine waiting a couple of months, hell I hate waiting a couple of days :)  Your groomsmen are lucky!! The dark liberators looks Sithy Sick!!  I got a blue one, grab bag, for my first saber and it does just meld in the hands.  Definetly post pics of when you guys get these out at the wedding :)

I got the initiate for my nephew actually, he's going to be standing for me as well - as a junior groomsman, as my fiance puts it.

I am so happy with these sabers - it's Bad. Ass.  All around.  I think the guys will be pleasantly surprised.  Fear not, I will definitely be posting pics from the wedding.  :D

Well hello!

I am brand new here so no fancy sig or avatar (yet) but I just placed my first order with US the other day and I am very excited. I am now currently awaiting a brand new Raven with SS claws and SS pommel. The blade is mid grade (I don't foresee any real dueling in my immediate future) and will be Consular Green. I waffled for a bit but finally decided to go ahead and splurge on myself so it will have Obsidian Sound as well as a Green Illuminated AV switch.   I can't wait to play around with it when it gets here. I also look forward to being an active member here on the forums!

Nice!  That thing is gonna look great.  There's a video here on the forums of someone taking a couple cracks at a tree with a mid-grade and it holds up to the punishment, I realize they're not meant for heavy dueling but I'm impressed at just how much punishment the mids alone can take.  Obsidian is gonna put that thing over the top - I'm gonna have to do old school for now: http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/03/13 (http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/03/13)   ;)

The prongs aren't expensive... you could just buy the saber and the other set of prongs to go with it, so you could switch them out. :) I'm about to buy the regular version, because I have the SS ones.

Thank you all for the gracious welcome. I am so stoked to be here and to be waiting for my Raven. You can be assured many (maybe even too many) pics and vids will be posted beginning the moment it arrives here at my office.

Pretty sure the next once is going to either be a Graflex or an Archon with Fire Orange blade and sound. Other options pending...

Enabler.  Lol.  "Good, good..."

US is a dangerous place for me.  I can't see myself getting a saber without every bell and whistle available.  I might be able to hold back on getting RGB.  Maybe.  I'm waiting for my wife's Graflex LE (first order) and I haven't even ordered one for myself yet.  Trying to talk her into letting me order one for myself on Fathers Day.  Her birthday's in early July so i'm giving her the option to have her's early if it shows up early (first order, so i don't know how long they take, but i hear things move fast, and i know they're at a con right now).

My first is going to be a Consular, Blazing Red, UltraEdge, Obsidian w/ red AV switch, Silver Flash, Quick Disconnect, Nickel plating.  Eventually gonna get a green MLS (for my "Light" days), Dark War Glaive emitter with Silver claws, and an Archon pommel.  Patiently awaiting permission from "She Who Must Be Obeyed" because i can't sneak anything that awesome into the house...

Personally, I prefer Blazing red in the standard blades as you get less ambient light interference on the blade. With ultraedge the color washes out slightly with any source of light nearby as the blade is white and not clear thus reflecting a portion of the light off the blade and covering up some of the color. If your wife's is in UE and you get a standard blade (either midgrade, which stands up just fine for dueling... trust me  ;), or heavy grade, if you prefer a heavier feel) then you can compare which you prefer. I do think that for videos or pictures, while nearly the same, UE shows up more movie like, but in person besides the blue hues like GB, AB, maybe SRD and DVA sometimes, standard gives you a richer color to the blade. just something to think about for BR since that is a sith color. I have the Prophecy RGB and I first ordered an UEHG blade but have since replaced that with a Standard midgrade blade and I LOVE it.

Post by: JapzLapeno on May 26, 2012, 10:48:45 PM
Thanks for the advice.  I'm going to be doing a little camera work with mine when i get it.  Mostly making an avatar and one video i have an idea for.  But i guess since the blades can be swapped between the hilts, i can just get a regular blade on mine (as you suggest) and change it out as needed.  Probably gonna get a Mid Grade for the Consular after reading your advice.

I don't have anyone to really duel with other than my wife and she has NO martial training whatsoever, as opposed to me who started taking a martial arts weapons class (naginata) at the age of 3 and continued on with various schools (karate, jeet kune do) through high school.  So while i'm rusty (because high school was more than a decade ago), i get bored with her technique of swinging once or twice and locking blades.  I'll probably start teaching her a little basic swordsmanship, but i doubt we'd need more than Mid Grades for that.  My brother's got about the same experience as her, but he's a little more interesting when he fights.  Unfortunately i don't know how much (if any) interest he has in dueling or getting a worthy saber.  My son's 19 months old and fights like my wife, but more sneaky like.   :D

My second saber's gonna be a grab bag with a Heavy Grade though.  Mostly for my own solo training so i don't have to worry about scuffing the hilt if i lose my grip or banging the living dren out of the blade on some unforseen object (because i can swing pretty hard).

Thanks again for the input.  Very useful info.

Just pulled the trigger on a VA Phantasm Initiate v3. Already got a named picked out for it and brainstorming some customization ideas. I think three orders in the span of five weeks is enough of a drain on my bank account for the time being. o_o;

Be sure to post pics of your saber when you get it.   Like I stated earlier, I got a red anodized liberator v2 with GB UEHG blade and LOVE IT!  The heavy blade is awesome on it, gives it a little more weight.  It just felt like F O R E V E R for it to get here, since I live on the east coast.

Even though I live 45 minutes away from US HQ, I figured it would be a couple days while they recovered from their weekend at the Phoenix Comicon. I imagine they had more than a few orders backed up waiting for them on Tuesday morning.

Hi all!

Well, I just pulled the trigger on my first-ever US saber.  :)

Ordered a Guardian w/ sound & blue illuminated switch.   DVA with a BH FoC. 

Had a HELL of a time deciding between an Overlord, Bellicose and Guardian.  My favorite three hilts.  (I think my next one will be an RBG Overlord.)

The 10% sale threw me over the edge.  DAMN IT!  :D

Now.. I wait.  I don't think I can stand it!

I would probably give it another day or two.  There was the Memorial Day weekend here in America and then they went to the Phoenix Con that probably slowed their progress a little.  Also remember that if you had a really tricked out saber, it is going to take longer than a Grab Bag or stunt saber.

My wife's waiting on Thursday.  I'm anxious to see her's because it's our first US (probably will do an unboxing vid and do pics for her facebook and to post here).  And then i'll be in impatient jealousy mode until Monday... ::)

What sucks for her is that she's off all day Wednesday and packages ususally come right before or right after she goes to work so Thursday will be torture either way.  I'll probably have to put the package out of sight for myself so i don't have to fight (as much) temptation to open it.  ;D  The only thing painful about the wait for mine is that she'll have her's THE WHOLE WEEKEND.  I'll at least be busy with work the whole time, and i'll probably have a package waiting for me when i get home.  But still.  The impatient jealousy wait is gonna SUCK.  :P

Maybe if we're lucky we can get our kid to hold still with his long enough to get a pic with the three of us with our first sabers (first ultras, first non-toystore).

Went with the black claws, it was a tough decision and had to get the Missus involved.

Got phone call from UPS yesterday, they've just cleared customs, not long now!!!  Think I've tracked the package about 5 times today already and it's only 10am.  ;D

Believe me I know the feeling on checking the UPS website multiple time during the day!  She will LOVE LOVE LOVE her Dark War Glaive.  This saber is a totally wicked beast in all its sithly darkness.  Did you get the quick disconnect feature on this?  This would allow her to swap out for other colors if she wants to later on.  This saber feels great in the hands and the choke point is awesome, right under the claws.  Excellent purchase my friend :)  Point for you!!

I envision a world where teleporters are real and when you click the order button Ultra and the guys can make a saber in a few days then type in your teleporter connection number and a hole opens up connecting me to them. They will hand through my saber and we will share a solid handshake and some kind words before saying our goodbyes and thank yous and shutting down the teleporter. Delivery will be quick and simple and we as a saber community will share much rejoicing.

I envision a world where teleporters are real and when you click the order button Ultra and the guys can make a saber in a few days then type in your teleporter connection number and a hole opens up connecting me to them. They will hand through my saber and we will share a solid handshake and some kind words before saying our goodbyes and thank yous and shutting down the teleporter. Delivery will be quick and simple and we as a saber community will share much rejoicing.

We'll if I had a teleporter I'd be in Padme's bedroom.  Maybe that's just me.   ;)

Padme is fictional.  There are alot of real women that I would love to use this to hang out with!  If we are dealing pure fiction though, Alema Rar.  Twi'llek, crazy, my type of girl!

JediShadow's idea just made me shiver at the thought of upgraded telemarketers and the end of privacy (backed up by people speaking of plans to invade hotties' bedrooms).  This is why we can never have anything nice!  lol   ;D

My wife's Graflex arrived.  It got here right after she left for work, so i shoved the package in the closet (out of my immediate line of sight) until she gets home to unbox it since it's her (early) birthday present.  Will take pics and review tonight.  Maybe vid if i can get stuff to work again.  Impatiently waiting for Monday when my Consular is supposed to arrive.

It's not a surprise for her.  We tend to not hide what we're getting, we're able to appreciate the thought without the surprise.  We're both too nosy to have much hidden from us.  That and i needed permission to spend the money.    ;D  It's gonna be an early birthday present (by about a month) because the wait will kill both of us.  She doesn't come on the forum, even though i've suggested it many times.  Darn it, i can see the box from this chair.  Need to move it.  No, touching it's a bad idea, just need to go back to the sofa.  Yeah.

UPS slays me. I just checked my tracking number and the saber made its way to Columbus today and they then sent it in the complete opposite direction to another location farther away. The lack of logic is astounding. Still on schedule to be here tomorrow though!

Last update on mine was 1am on the 5th, arrival at San Pablo, CA.  I live in FL.  Still says it's on schedule to be on time for Monday though.  I want to see scan updates to my brain doesn't go bonkers out of jealousy and impatience.

But yeah, i've seen UPS do that before.  Sending it further away in the middle of shipping.  They're on time, but they'll be damned if they're gonna be early.  At least that's the experience i've had.  At least they've never been late with me.  They did deliver a package at like 9pm on the delivery date before though.  Hope they don't pull that on Monday.

Nice.  Got everything i ordered so far.  Everything is awesome.  Had a scare with UPS not updating the tracking most of last week after the first day in transit, but it got here on time.  Wife and i are looking forward to getting our grab bags next month.  My brother has officially picked his out, so probably order his in August unless he has money before then.  Patiently waiting for money to order more sabers!   ;D

I am taking the next couple of months to order my Sith outfit piece by piece, so until that is complete, no more sabers for me.

Spent $164 over at Twin Rose Designs for my tunic, tabard, and obi. Will end up shelling out $170 for my Apprentice Cloak over at Mystik Merchant. Then I still need pants, boots, and a belt to complete the outfit. Good thing is, I can get the pants and the boots at the same store and they should be relatively cheap. I'm expecting less than $50.

But, until that outfit is complete, no more sabers for me. I don't mind. I'm hoping that US will come out with a new design by the time I am ready for another saber. Otherwise, I'll probably go for a Shock LE.

For $195 at Across the galaxy, would have gotten you a tunic, under tunic(or dickey), tabards, obi, and pants with the cloak! or $110 with out the cloak. ;)

Im not sure i just thought it would look cool together.  also i really liked the look of Mace Windu's and Kit Fisto's sabers together.  plus the DVA is more sith like than VA

Purple and green together always make me think of Joker from Batman, who's personality would make for a very scary Sith actually.  My wife has the Graflex with a VA blade and CG AV switch, i jokingly call it "The Joker" as she tends to act a bit bent when she's 'in character'.  Interested in seeing that staff of yours when it arrives.   ;D

Ok well since I missed taking advantage of the 10% off sabers with sound option last weekend I couldn't let it go this weekend. Just placed my order for my second saber. I ordered...

Dominix v3 LE
Arctic Blue (I know sort of random with a light blade/dark hilt combo)
Mid Grade
Regular Vented Pommel
Li-ions w/ Buckpuck
Obsidian USB Sound w/ Blue AV Switch
Sun Rider's Destiny Flash on Clash
Blade Plug

Super excited to be getting my first obsidian saber. This makes 2 sabers in three weeks  :P Totally worth it!!

Welcome and congrats on your first sabers guys!

Especially you Sevorast! The Shock LE is a sweet looking saber. I want one myself, and the Pyrestone Orange was one of my color choices! Please be sure to write up a review with pictures so we can see how the color turns out.  ;D

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Was a tough choice for me, I always knew I wanted the Shock LE but the blade color has been really tough. PO and SY are the two I finally narrowed it down to in the end, for my first and second sabers. PO seems to fit the hilt a little more so I went with that for this one. My next saber is gonna be a staff, and it's gonna be a delicious SY. Not sure which staff I'm gonna go with, but the idea of sticking 2 War Glaives or Ravens together is really tempting  ;)

Gonna put up a review when the Shock LE arrives, will have a bunch of pictures and perhaps a video if I can find my camera. Want to do some daylight, low light, night time, and full darkness pictures for comparison. Probably take some 3d pictures as well, since I have a 3d camera (silly gimmicky evo 3d phone) and never have any reason to use it :P

My first saber is DVA (love it).  I've got a grab-bag on the way (arriving TOMORROW!  WOO!)  .. I think my next saber might just have to be PO.  We'll see.  (My wife is starting to express interest in sabers!)

Well I just took my saber out of the box and man it is great! Feels great in my hand, sounds are great, hilt looks amazing!

Only thing is I think the batteries must be almost dead because the blade color is all over the place, starts a little reddish at the base of the blade then goes light orange to yellow to greenish at the tip  :o

Tossed the batteries in the charger and took the emitter off to see whats under the hood there, trying to figure out what kind of LED system is installed. I got the quick disconnects but I'm not sure if its the MLS module or not. Can't find any mention of the Shock on either of the LED pages  :-\

Gonna go dig around and see if I can find my camera (and hopefully the mini usb that goes with it) and take some pictures and some video once the batteries are charged.

I'm waiting as patiently as I can, which is to say I'm pacing back and forth vigorously in my mind while trying unsuccessfully to be patient for the 40" heavy grade blade that I ordered so I can complete my newest custom copper pipe build. The hilt is 30" long and when I combine it with a 40" blade minus the 4" that the blade will be in the hilt it will total out at 66". I will post pics and such once I get it done.

im patiently waiting on my Bane saber, it being shipped now should be at my home by next tuesday, I loaded the beast of a saber down with all the bells a nd whistles.  got my Bane outfitted with /  my led color is DVA with flash on clash silver, along with quick disconnect. red led AV switch, buck puck sound. retention screw "because i lost my other retention screw wrench from my other two ultrasabers. mid grade blade with bullet point, and a plug for my saber for when im not using it in combat. only thing that irritates me  is that they released the malice upon the compleation of my order and i couldnt change it in time, and i'll live with it because the Bane saber is the saber I have been wanting for a long time now. it was going to be my first ultrasaber but the archon v2 stole my heart so i got that instead. but im glad im ordering the bane now, because there are more cool things that are out now that we can put on our sabers when we order them so it was worth the wait.  but still a heads up next time a bad ass sith saber gets released before i make a purchase would be awsome :P  Thank you ultrasabers for your awsome sabers, keep up the great work that you do, your saber get better and better as the years go by

I don't think you will be sorry that you went with the Bane.  I actually prefer getting some of the older sabers first as they are out of stock from time to time.  The Malice has just been released so I doubt you will see it out of stock when you are ready for your next order.

Solinus, I have been reading countless star wars books, focusing on sith lords such as rise of darth vader, darth bane trilogy, darth palegues, etc and under their influence I decided to get a red saber.
I really hope the blade will look as bright as the green ones I see all over the internet! I'm so excited, I dont think ill make it til next tuesday for the saber to arrive :D

I just pulled the trigger on a Bellicose with OBSIDIAN 2.0!! I only have stunt sabers right now so I'm super pumped. I think this will most likely be my last saber this year, I can't afford any more. I was trying to wait until closer to my birthday but just couldn't hold on lol. Yesterday I was looking at it and wanted to click "place order" but then I stopped myself and didn't do it. I am SO glad I did too, because then Deep announces the sale and I got 10% off the order and a free t-shirt! bonus! I got MORE for LESS. I love when that happens.

Anyway, I couldn't decide between a gold or red button, both seem so cool, but I went with Gold, and a red AV switch. The LED is PO with QD so I can also get DVA, SRD and SY for it... eventually... So pumped!

This past week has been the longest I can remember. I ordered 3 sabers, and once they shipped last Tuesday, there wasn't an update until today, which hopefully means they'll be here tomorrow. Still, this wait hurts, especially since I didn't know how close they were until today.

These are my first sabers, so I'm looking forward to them.
1 Grab Bag
1 Aeon V2 LE Guardian Blue
1 Initiate V2 Violet Amethyst

Well...I wouldn't say "Patiently"  ::)  I just placed the order 5 minutes ago and I already am staring anxiously down the road waiting for that man from UPS to show up lol.  This'll be my first ultrasaber and I've been waiting to get this for almost  a year now, here's what the final decision was.

Phantasm V3
Blade 1 Color: Red
Blade 2 Color: Green
Blade 1:  Sound
Blade 2:  No Sound
Staff Pommel:  Grooved for Sound
Blade Plug: 1

It may seem like a weird color combination but Red's my favorite color, plus i'm a Sith fan, and I plan on using this as a Tantooine style staff from time to time.  I threw in the green because Quinlon Vos, one of my favorite characters from Star Wars, used a Green saber and with the Blade plug it'll be very hard to see.  Plus this way my friend and I can start filming some videos sooner then we hoped. :)

Anxiously waiting and can't wait to write a review,

Wolfmetal45

Well, according to tracking, my Overlord should be here tomorrow! My mind keeps reminding me that UPS rarely shows up before 9pm, but I'm sure I'll spend the day hoping it shows earlier. This is going to be the first time I've ever touched a RGB saber, and I'm dying to play with it. Also, my other saber is getting mended so I've been experiencing some serious saber withdrawal symptoms. I got a couple grab bag sabers to give as gifts, but I keep pulling them out and  spinning them around!

Cant wait to see what my parents think of it, they loved my grab bag liberator, and that didnt even have sound. Yesterday my dad took it up, started swinging and making saber sounds of his own...wait till he hears the Obsidian Might!!

Ok, the saber isn't new.  It is my Overlord.  I am impatiently waiting for the glue to harden that reconnects my new battery pack to the my speaker.  Battery pack broke on vacation during a battery change.  I was heartbroken as I had the perfect place outside a cabin restaurant I proposed to my wife in Northeast Alabama for the video.  The restaurant was closed due to the economy and I thought it would be cool to get one last photo of the place and then the idea of the video hit.  I wanted fresh batteries and broke the saber.  At least the marriage is intact and soon the Overlord will reign supreme again!!!!

You are going to love that color but just be sure to have your batteries fully charged so that you can enjoy the true color that is SRD.

I plan on taking lots of pictures tomorrow. I'm camera shy, so I won't be in them for a while, but at least I'll get some of the saber, and it possibly scaring my cats.

Once I get my Jedi cosplay together, then maybe there will be a pic or two of me.

I can't wait till the 22nd when I win the grand prize on the drawing (no need to enter, its all mine) item two, double malice with purple blades

And by the way, does US work on orders during the weekend? If so, my saber should get here in a day or two more.

They must.  I ordered mine Saturday evening, and it was shipped out on Monday.

Of course, shipping companies often don't deliver on weekends, so you'll probably still have to wait.

US is 'closed' on the weekends. However they seem to work darn near to 24-7 anyways, cause they are such great people. No joke, I've caught emory answering my emails at 9 or 11 at night on MULTIPLE occasions.... and I'm in their state! XD I've also had more than one saber ship on a Saturday too, I think.


Anyways.... I'm now waiting for a shiny new Shock: AS, Mid Grade Blade, Obsidian, Non Illuminated AV Switch, SY FoC, and a Blade Plug (been wanting one). ;D

I was debating, but it was what I could afford with all the options that I wanted for that model, so it's what I went for. ;D I did have my eye on it for quite a while about a year ago, but then the Consular came out, and the Bellicose eventually caught my eye, and so on. Even back at Wondercon, I was curious but didn't really want one seriously, but now.... it seemed the time was right. It looked right, sounded right, and when somebody said Corran Horn.... I think that cinched it. lol

I hate you. But not really, but if you win more than one thing i'll be jealous and mad and turn to the darkside and go on a rampage of killing flowers, kittens, and bunny rabbits. So, don't win more than once, for the sake of the cute fluffy creatures.

I do hope you win something for all that effort, but not the grand prize, that's mine. :)

seriously, stop it.

but really, good luck.

remember the bunnies.

I'm not overly worried about it. I have some interviews between 1 and 4, but otherwise I'm taking the day off, and the wife will be home all day tomorrow anyways so one of us will get it.

My dream is coming home from an interview that I aced to a wife dressed up as a Jedi with my saber (won't happen but would be cool)

As I was leaving for work, the UPS guy gave me my Archon Pommel that I ordered.  I was able to get it on the saber this morning.  I will be taking pictures of it in Guardian Blue and Blazing Red.  The sound difference was amazing.  I certainly hope that everyone will purchase a unique pommel to go with their Overlords in the future because the sound difference is great.  I am also hoping everyone that ordered their sabers gets them and are as happy as I am right now.  Just got to find that blasted camera.

Bah! I hate UPS sometimes.. I left a signed note stating where to leave it and they email me saying i'm not there and they will come back tomorrow. i have never had a problem doing this before. Of course I'm not there, I left you a note! Oh, and when you come back tomorrow at the same time no doubt, I will still not be there! because I wasn't there today at that time, so it's safe to assume that at the exact same time I won't be there tomorrow! you know jobs... Looks like i'll be arguing with a rep on the phone later.

I feel you. I once had that problem. Got an email saying it was delivered, a note saying they'd try tomorrow, something saying I'd signed for it, and I think something else that said it was undeliverable. Turned out when all was said and done, they'd left it with my next door neighbor and HE'D signed for it in my stead. Nice guy, saw me as he was on his way out to dinner and ran back to give it to me. :)

Yeah, you'll have to get us some video of that. I'm curious how that combo looks. Almost ordered it myself, but I went with AS and a SY FoC for my Shock. Darn Kham, always raving about SY.... *shakes fist* lol It really is an awesome color.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!

Will have pics of the overlord tommorrow (noise is loud, scared the crap out of my cat) and I'll do a side by side video review of both when they get in.

The UPS truck was in Hodgkins, IL yesterday.  6 hrs from me.

It is now in Maumee, OH.  Three hours from me.  They could have it up here and out for delivery today if they wanted.

Tomorrow is the weekend, meaning my saber will sit in a warehouse somewhere for two days within driving distance.

Monday can't be here fast enough.  I think I'll do an unboxing video review.

I'll pretend I understand what I'm assuming to be Spanish. 8)

For the record, the reference was double.
1) To Star Trek: Generations, because during the opening the Enterprise B has to rescue a pair of El Aurean transports but has difficulty because most of the ship's specialized systems (tractor beams, torpedoes, medical staff) won't be installed till Tuesday.
2) In above movie, the Captain of the Enterprise B is played by an actor who also played Cameron, in the earlier mentioned Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

That's just umm... wrong.

Couple of friends came over on Sunday and saw the overlord w/Sun Rider Blue that I have, they couldn't put it down. The monarch is due on Thursday. Going to hate it if the UPS man shows up again after I leave for work. I'd love to at least ignite the beauty before work. And if not, I have all day Friday to mess with it.

Shock due today! *bounces with glee* lol I have to wait till tonight for it though, or tomorrow, because I had it sent to the office, and I was sick yesterday and took today off as well because my next day off isn't till Sunday and I have approximately an 11 hour work day on Friday (though the last 3 hours are really easy) and I want to be recovered and rested for all of that. Oddly enough though, I'm pretty patient. Could be because I have a phantasm to play with now...  ;D Back to back saber deliveries ROCK.

Lucky!  Well kinda.  It's funny that I got the saber I ordered and am waiting on my prize, whereas yours is the other way around.  Makes sense considering your location I guess, but it's still an interesting reversal.

WE EXPECT PICS!!!

Dark Arbiter in the DVA led, obsidian sound , li-ion w/ the buck puck, blue av switch, and silver flash on clah. i also asked for a 40" heavy grade blade instead of the 36". i think the longer blade will look better and balance out better for spinning , if not i will just switch it with one of my other blades. the only thing i wish i changed was to go with 3 day shipping instead of the standard shipping because it wont be here until next wednesday :'(

Seriously dude, that's a great pick.  It's gonna be a beast of a saber, but luckily that hilt is pretty light (from what I hear) so it should be quite manageable.

yeah it kind of sucks but hopefully the days will fly by, with my luck they'll drag. i really could kick myself for not having it shipped faster but whats done is done, and a quote from the famous Peter Griffin-"now i play the waiting game, heh,heh,heh,heh,heh,heh,heh."

if i find that its too light i guess i could jusy swap blades like i mentioned or if i want to keep the 40" maybe add some weight to the pommel. thanks for the heads up on the weight of the saber.

I hope to put that up tonight. Seriously Nero, you'll love it if you get one of these. Especially with a Mid Grade in it. The balance is great. It seems to hold well for fighting, but it also spins SO smoothly and easily. I think I'll end up giving this thing a final rating near or on par with my Bellicose, but I'll need to put it through it's dueling paces first.... and that has to wait until the nights start getting below 80 again. LOL

I know what you mean man, I'm looking forward to the fall so I won't feel like I have to swim while I duel...

At least it's been getting a bit cooler during the night here, maybe I'll take my new Dark Prophecy out tonight for some sparring with the gf!

Thank the Gods I checked that saber, turns out some of the bubble wrap had popped.  I mean what is with the post.  Thankfully there was nothing wrong with the saber.  I gave it a great deal of looking over and testing to insure that everything was in working order ;).  I mean, it was my wife's prize I would hate to have something be wrong with it.

Monarch came in today, unfortunatley UPS man left it on my doorstep when I was in the shower so didn't actually know it was here until I was heading out the door to work.

Wife was lovely enough to open it, and snap a couple of pictures for me (no place to upload them from work).

Even though it was a bad camera (blackberries have horrid cameras) I could immediately tell the huge difference between my Sunriders Destiny and the Blue one (Defender blue? I forget the name).

When I get home tonight will have some side by side pics of the Overlord and Monarch, and hopefully a video this weekend.

How does the Monarch handle? It looks like the hilt is a bit shorter so may have to treat it more of a one handed weapon than a two.

You will have the default Obsidian font on it, so it will be ready to go.  You will need to download new fonts and install them with the Obsidian launcher if you want to change sound sets.

Post by: Darth Dau Kho on September 09, 2012, 01:08:52 AM
Almost impossible to say. Depends on the hilt, features, and you are in the middle of the dragoncon lag so you might have a little bit longer of a wait than usual.

my dark arbiter came in and this saber is awesome!!!!! the sound that comes out from the obsidian board is amazing, its loud and clear, not muffled like the mr's and hasbro's. i'm not too sure about the dva but i may have to try another blade. i think the heavy grade washes the color out most of the way up the blade and the real color is only about a quarter of the blade from the emiter. right now i have a lee filter in to make it more of the color i think it should be. i want to play around with the different sound fonts but i'm having difficulty downloading it and the videos arent much good to me because i'm not too computer savy so i'm going to have my brother in law come over to help me get it straightened out.

Yup, the covertech clip is the black thing you put on your belt.

http://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/covertecclip.htm (http://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/covertecclip.htm)

The wheel goes on the saber, and is what hooks into the clip.  Some sabers have them by default, and all of them now have an option to get it added I believe.

My wife is in Chicago today.  There is a seriously bad dude there getting a trial.  Things have been slowed down as a result.  Hopefully he will be convicted today and things will start moving again. 

That or she is holding your saber hostage because she doesn't have one of her own!!!! :o

Nah, BR and VA... but VA has blue in it...

Hopefully it's just the trial, but still, it's like that thing where I could be more than halfway there right now if I wanted to, but I totally want to have it/them in my hands right now... no homo lol

Yeah... you know they're guilty when they won't take the stand to defend themselves...

Actually, it is usually a really dumb idea to take the stand.  I saw a guy once take the stand when he was accused of molesting his own daughter.  This his how it went:

Prosecutor:  So you check on your daughter in the middle of the night.
Father:  Yes
Prosecutor:  Do you tell your daughter that she looks pretty.
Father:  What father wouldn't?
Prosecutor:  Yes or no sir.
Father:  Yes.
Prosecutor:  So it is safe to say that after some time of looking in on your daughter and feeling that she is pretty that your instincts as a man finally won out?
Father:  Hell no!
Prosecutor:  So are you saying that you don't like women?
Father:  That is not what I said!
Prosecutor:  Yes or no, please answer the question.

I can honestly say that I really felt for the guy.  How many of us as fathers have checked on our children to make sure they are doing ok in their rooms?  Nice to see how if we took the stand, this same thing could be done to us.

That is true, I watched a 20 minute lecture on why you should never talk to the police. I spoke without thinking, and I apologize.

Back on topic, as we near the 24 hour mark, my patience wears thin...

So excited to receive my first saber tomorrow! I ordered a Dark Initiate LE V2 with SRD and a Standard 32" Mid-Grade blade. Ordered it last night at around midnight, and should be receiving it tomorrow according to UPS (I live about 25 miles away from Ultra Sabers).

CAN'T WAIT!

You will love it. I have a Dark Initiate V3 in SRD and its Schmexy.

I can't wait. I initially wanted a Dark Initiate V3 LE with an Ultraedge, Obsidian Sound and FoC, but that'll probably be my next build as it comes out to about $260 with shipping.

What blade do you have? Mid-Grade or Ultraedge? And what would you recommend?

By the way, is there any way to order a 32" blade by itself? I've noticed that the 32" blade option is only present where ordering a complete saber, but not when looking to purchase just a blade. The closest I see are the 36" blades. I am a small guy (5'6"), so I want a smaller blade, but not 24" small, haha.

After doing some digging, I found out that UPS DOES, in fact, slow down packages... well, thats not fair, they actually just wait until the absolute latest they can ship it from their hubs lol

Here's hoping it gets here Friday!!!

I have a 32" UE midgrade. Works really well for forms. I would say that if you are going to be sparring with people that use HG blades to pick one up. The tip on mine has a nasty habit of falling off when I am sparring with different grade blades.

Balance is really nice, and for me it is strictly a one handed saber. My hands are too big to 2 hand on it. :S

If you want to order a 32" blade, you put in an order for a 36" and then put for them to cut it down to a 32 in the order comments.

Was thinking staff, but instead just ordered this baby, now I'm (im)Patiently waiting for my....

 The Graflex CE with Sound
[Blade LED Color:Pyrestone Orange]
[Blade Option:Mid Grade]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries & Universal Charger Included)]
[Sound:Yes, Obsidian USB Sound w/ Blue Illuminated AV Switch]
[Flash on Clash:No Flash]
[Front Button Color:Chrome
][Rear Button Color:Red]
[Blade Set Screw Type:Socket]
[Blade Tip::Round Tip]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks]
[Include Blade Plug:Yes]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks]

Had to do a trade with the wife. I get my saber (my new addiction) and she gets a coach purse.

Oh man, this looks good, a Graphlex is definitely on my wish list now.

Once you have it, could you post some pics? I'm very interested in how the different button colours would work together, since I'm pretty sure I've only ever seen gold buttons on the Graflex.

Awesome choice with the blade colour too, I think orange would go really well with the hilt!

I'll definitely post some pics when they are up.

Doing some videos for the raffles to help some friend's hopefully win their first saber (they don't have the funds to outright buy the ones they want right now). Then will post some pics of all 3 of my sabers, and a video review of all three sabers (for the 300 loyalty points and want to get into video a bit).

I'm with you, only seen gold gravflex buttons. I love chrome and I think the red would look good just to contrast the rest of the saber, especially with the blue illuminated button (was thinking going red but decided to have some more visual contrast)

Just made my first ever saber order!

I had been trying to decide between a Raven, a War Glaive, and a Malice but I finally bit the bullet and went with...

A Dark Arbiter? Wait, what?

The Deal of the Day combined with a fully MHS compatible saber sold me. I had planned on a fully decked out Raven but then realized that I could use the deal of the day, skip Flash on Clash for now, and get a Grab Bag saber to go with it.

So I ended up with:
Dark Arbiter w/Obsidian Sound
Blazing Red LED w/Quick Disconnect
Midgrade blade
Red Illuminated AV Switch
Covertec Clip
Blade Plug

Grab Bag Saber with Heavy Grade Ultraedge Blade, random color (I'm hoping for 'not red' but I'll take whatever!)

I think this is a first purchase I'll be happy with, since I can add Yari Extensions, War Glaive or Malice emitters, even add a second DA to make a staff later. I also qualified for the Raffle and made sure to enter.

I'll be sure to show everyone what I got when the order comes in! I'm very happy to be acquiring my first 'real' saber!

Initiate V2 - Adegan Silver - Initiate Blade

I wanted a very simple, neutral, and smaller saber. Only $60 shipped, so I figured what the hell, haha.

I will also be receiving a LEE Filter swatch in the mail so I can change the blade colors along with the colored discs that comes with AS.

I think I'm going to have to go your route and do one without sound for the cheap factor for my next, although probably just a grab bag.

Well I took advantage of the Deal of the Day to get myself an entry into the latest raffle.  Dark Arbiter w obsidian, Blazing Red, FOC to Silver.  Heavy Grade Ultra Edge blade, as I have never tried this blade type yet.  I'm pretty excited, I'm thinking of picking up another dark arbiter some day without sound and a vented coupler to make what should be a pretty huge staff.  I'm guessing sound would only be needed in one of them, anyone done something like that before?

Its been discussed recently. The general consensus is that you only need one. But you need to take into account that only one end of the saber will actually flash if you go this route. That may not matter to you but I just want to make you aware :D

The thing I hate about UPS is they are inconsistent. They lack quality control for their service. Some signature required packages I find on my porch. Some come with gaping holes in them big enough for the item to come out through and the man literally RUNS back to his truck and guns it before I can get to the door because he's afraid to get caught. Other times they let my neighbor sign for it. Still other times they try three times to get me. All I ask is a little consistency folks, and don't smash or open my boxes consarn it. lol

Both of the ones I bought from US were shipped, signature required, states so on the UPS: Tracking site.

The one I won from the last raffle didn't have the requirment.

As far as it being required, these are often $200+, I'd rather it not get left on my doorstep. I live in a fairly nice neighborhood but I don't trust a few of the kids in it.

They've made me sign both times. And asked me what kind of club I had bought... Dummies. But seriously I live out in the middle of nowhere. Nobody is gonna come up to my back door and steal my saber. I've been fortunate enough to not have to work both days my sabers were delivered before but Monday is a different story. I typically have to close so I go in around one o'clock. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell UPS is gonna show up early. It says it will be delivered "by end of day" and they mean it XD

Looks like I sleep on the couch tonight since my UPS guy runs at random times and I don't want to run downstairs half asleep while putting on a shirt again because that can be very painful if I miss a step.

Graflex is due to arrive tomorrow, a week after I ordered it (ordered at like 4am CST, shipped same day).

And seeing as how I had absolutely no idea where the term Gralfex came from, I looked it up and that is cool. I honestly didn't even realize that it was Luke's saber to begin with. Nifty.

lol Yeah, it's surprising what the original trilogy props were made out of. Lightsabers were camera flashes and hand grenades with sink parts, blasters were WWII guns with fire extinguisher nozzels and windshield wiper blades glued to em.

Haha stress level starting to get to me.

I have to leave for work in an hour and 15 minutes at the very latest, saber is out for delivery sometime today. Wife doesn't get home for 30 minutes to an hour and a half after I leave.

The Jedi in me says be patient, but the rational side of me says "screw that, its a red saber its time to be Sith-like"

Sorry to hear you had issues with them in the past. I would have still suggested it since its easier to track their packages, and they usually have better accountability, but either way US packs their packages well and you will fall in love with it once you turn it on.

Though the UPS statuses aren't accurate either, says Cleared, then In Transit, then back to Cleared. :-\
My delivery is going to the Post Office, I'll need to sign for it from them.

My new SY Consular and a grab bag should be here today, and my VA Monarch will be here tomorrow along with a CG MLS unit! Both by Fedex I might add. Not sure if why that is or how I feel about it. With UPS I could hold packages (since you need to sign for them). And I tried to have the one tomorrow held since tomorrow's going to be crazy, but they won't let me.

Very nice choices, I have a Consular myself with spare MLS units in yellow and red (I consider green to be the main color).  I think you'll be quite happy with it.

Just FYI though, the MLS unit will work in the Consular but not in the Monarch, that one uses regular LED modules.

Waiting for my first sabers.

Dark Liberator v3, Silver with arctic flash on clash, sound, a covertec wheel. Plus colour discs.
I also ordered a grab bag for dueling. Hope I get something good.

I ordered quite a few pommels that I liked the designs of.
I will post a video when I have them for a while showing the resonance of the sound with all my different pommels. Plus a video review on the sabers.

Should be here next week!

Hope living in Canada doesn't slow it down!

For my first saber I decided on the Aeon LE v3 with sound! Sunrider's Destiniy colour with an Arbiter pommel, and a convertec wheel. SUPER excited for this. I've always wanted one of these and spent my entire childhood asking. Now that I have the funds and was able to buy it, I CAN'T BLOODY WAIT FOR IT TO COME!!!! I HAVE TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT IT, IT'S RIDICULOUS!!!

Just received my first saber with sound! It's awesome! I've been playing with it for the past hour. :P

However, the SRD on this saber is different than the SRD on my other Initiate v2. Is this due to the RGB LED (I also have FoC)? This one looks more Arctic Blue than SRD.

It's here!!! The grab bag is a LE Aeon v2 in BR. I'm a little shocked how good the red looks against the LE, but man it pops! I've been promising my brother I'd give him a grab bag someday and this might be it. He's fonder of red than I am. But he'd better get it soon or I won't be able to give it up. I'll be doing a more detailed review of the Consular later, but two things. I almost instantly regretted going with the standard shroud when I ordered, but I'm glad I did now. It gives me the ability to swap emitters and pommels without it looking odd, and it's plenty shiny enough. My first saber that wasn't dark was a grab bag and think it just got scuffed up a bit (after all, grab bag) because the hilts I ordered are very cleanly machined. The second note is that the saber itself is being badly eclipsed by the Sentinel Yellow blade. I really wanted to try the yellow (and good catch Master Nero, the CG MLS unit in the other box is for the Consular) and I was being a bit tongue in cheek wanted Sentinel Yellow in the Consular saber. I honestly expected it to be a bit weak and definitely less bright. Now I just keep staring at it and marveling at how yellow it is. I'm not going to go as far as never getting a different color again...but that CG unit might not get as much use as I thought.

@Jare  ....  Yeah I picked up an Aeon v3 LE with a SY blade and I am so in love with this color.  I had heard people on here talk about this color for awhile and so it began to grow om me.  With the Aeon have the gold pinstripes and gold in the emitter....OMG does it ever look B E A utiful!   I am also thinking of getting a Consular down the road, no nickle plating, possible with QD so I can have it CG and SY.....seriously SY is an underrated color .......Especially when your in a dark room and you pop that baby on and it's just like..WOW!  I have GB (1), BR (3), AS (1) and I still prefer the SY as the best....

Is this the newer style or something? I noticed the ones shown on the site and previous ones I have seen have a bunch of holes cut out, while mine has more of a design to it. I kind of like this version better, too. :)

That does look different from the ones listed on the site.  I like that design and the one on the bottom of the War Glaive the best. 

On topic, I should receive my next saber on 10/4.  Random Grab Bag.  Hoping it is a Dominix just so that I can check out those choke points.

It'll be worth it. I would recommend getting an UE blade with it. I haven't tried it out yet (I can only bring so much stuff to college) but I think it might be better than midgrade, which is inconsistent with the color. For example, towards the emitter it's emerald green but towards the end it looks more cyan. It's a tricky color, but awesome nonetheless.  :)

Take the pommel off, then gently tap the end of the saber to your hand, the battery holder should slide right off. Then use either the hex wrench you got or something like a guitar pick to pry the batteries off.

Then take some electrical tape and put a pull tab on one end of each battery. They come out so much easier that way. Plus you arent always looking for something to pry them out with  :D

Waiting for an SI with obsidian sound, some blade plugs, and some claws.  Planning a sweet Adegan Silver saber staff with custom claws and I already have the other half.  Glad they came out with the flush mount coupler.

I should be getting my grab bag today! I'm really looking forward to it. My brother laid claim to the last one (and I'd said he could have one so I can't really complain...much), and I thought he might so I didn't get too excited. But this idea of having no idea what's in the mail...I really dig it!

Impatiently waiting for my raffle prize! I have no idea what I am getting since I won the "Random Hilt with Random features with Obsidian Sound." I imagine this is what getting a grab bag is like, but I didn't pay for it and it has sound!  ;D Even better.

If your box is over 2-3 pounds they will be both in the one box.

My order has finally cleared Customs, I've paid my duties on it, UPS will let me know if it can be delivered today or if they can arrange an after-hours collection for me for tomorrow morning.

If not then I should get it on Monday.  ;D

Well, at least one of my raffle prizes will come tomorrow, but what I'm really waiting for right now is something else entirely. I used the 300 reward points from my video review to get a Dark Prophecy pommel. When I received it I noticed that it was hollow, despite the fact that the product page said it had no sound vents and even showed a solid pommel in the picture. I wanted a black pommel that I could put on my Obsidian saber if I wanted to mute the sound, and clearly a hollow pommel doesn't help much there. I e-mailed Deep on Friday and I'm (im)patiently waiting for a reply with a possible solution to this miscommunication.  :-\

I think you'll like the Bellicose though, it's an all around solid hilt.

It should arrive tomorrow, and then it's just a matter of time... (According to Emory, that won't be a lot of time either. More and more, I'm starting to wonder if some actual Force use is going on at Ultrasabers!)

If you used it, I hope your run with PayPal was better than mine!

Paypal gives everyone crap. I feel your pain there though, I had trouble with them just the other day. Anyways, that combo is gonna look great. I have tried it before and it's a real sweet look for the saber. :)

PayPal works for a lot of people though. They just didn't cut it from my picky preferences. (follow the forum rules... follow forum rules...) Yeah, I'll keep it at that  ;D

I just couldn't afford to go with two soundboards and illuminated AV switches, so I might try to self-install an AV switch in the non-sound hilt later on.  Also picked up two War Glaive claws to add an accent to eachsaber.

Can't wait!

Here's my tale:
My Anakin rots (hasbro 2007) has served me well for two years now, it's awesome but the blade & LEDs are showing signs of fatigue so I'm planning to send it in for a conversion next week (can't afford an obsidian saber  :-[ ). I've always enjoyed the blue shades but lately I've become increasingly bored of it, and being very picky It has taken me for ever to choose a new color, but I have now; I'm going for an anakin with pyrestone orange, and from what I've seen that color is awesome!!!
I have to ask, has anyone ever had a graphlex with PO? If not can the anakin even hold this color setup? I figured it could, as AB and the other RGB colors are in the conversion dropdown list.
I'll be sure to post a reviw when it comes back, I've read the forums alot and have never seen this kind of saber  8)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Oramac on October 15, 2012, 06:49:08 PM
Dominix v3 LE
Blade Color: Adegan Silver
Blade Type: Heavy Grade
Standard Battery setup
No Sound
Blade Plug: Yes
Standard No Sound Pommel

I already have a saber with sound, so I wanted something without.  Got the Heavy blade since I already have a mid-grade blade. Eventually I'll probably buy another one to make a staff, and a whole crapload of color discs to fiddle with the colors as well.

(im) Patiently awaiting for my new Guardian with obsidion in AB with eager anticipation!!!

Mom decided she wanted to do something special for my Christmas/Birthday this  year and asked what I would really like, and not the usual books and odds an ends. So I shared a bit of my dream list which consisted of crazy items that I figure I'll get when I am financially on my feet. She decided to say she would pay for a reasonably priced saber if I knew were to get a good one. US fit the bill exactly.  ;D

So, I went through a process in a seperate thread about deciding what to get and then the scare happened of 'no guardian listed' and that cinched it. ;)

Today I finally was able to order it, my early Christmas present  :D


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Darth Ivan on October 24, 2012, 09:53:27 AM
I just ordered

The guardian / arctic blue / obsidian sound / regular switch / silver foc

Bellicose / blazing red / obsidian sound / non illuminated switch / orange foc

I'll post some pictures when i get them! These are my first sabers with foc and i'm very curious hot it looks ;)

I've looked through the forum rules; I haven't broken any of them, have I? I sure hope not. >.< A went with the silver for the customization, I'm sure it isn't going to disappoint. Hopefully I can borrow my a camera and get some decent pictures when I play with the filters, share it's capabilities a bit.

Also, thank you for the welcome :P

An email from Fed-Ex! (with Emory's name on it!)

Still in the U.S. though and will need to make the loooong flight all the way over here to Australia, but it's on it's way!

Don't worry. You'll be told if you break any forum rules, and get the chance to change things.

No worries, you didn't break any. We just like to ask everybody to post in the rules thread acknowledging that they've read them, and when you posted here your post count was only 1, so we weren't sure if you'd read them or not. :) BTW, be careful with your wookiee talk. We have a local wookiee, and he's been known to rip arms off when people talk about his fur...

My FedEx shipping tracker said it would be delivered on the 30th of October.. I waited at work all day - could barely concentrate. 4pm came and went  before I realised that when FedEx say 30th of October, they refered to the 30th in America - Also known as "Tomorrow"!

Just ordered the Archon V2.
Even though the grabbag sabers er cheap and pretty cool...I just had to have one with all the works: sound, AV switch etc...and I like the Archon for the "modability" with the "neck" etc and got some plans for some custom work on it in the future...with a red blade ofcause.

Getting pretty excited about this, got a mate who just ordered a US and we're playing with idea of getting a club up and running, so far we're just the two but who knows what the future will bring.
In any case I can't wait to get my greedy hands on it and swinging it around destroying half my apartment.

Already read through that thread, lots of good advice, sadly neither of us have martial arts training (well, except for me doing taekwondo some 10 years ago) and don't have the time to start any, so will have to go off of what we can get from the interwebs ^^

Now waiting on my 2nd, a grab bag. 

My first saber I got this week, and not only did it take a long time because I am on the east coast and Ultra Sabers is on the west coast, but we got hit by hurricane sandy and it delayed Fedex by a day or two oh man I was going crazy! :D 
(not blaming anyone just saying I was impatient)

Hopefully nothing crazy happens to the Fedex truck for my grab bag I should be getting this coming Thursday!

@Crossing. Hence why I got me some Lee filters. =] Got some more colors picked out to demo too. And @Consular. Did you atleast get your saber in time before she hit? Hope the saber kept you happy during the storm.

Post by: Consular Christovski on November 04, 2012, 01:56:37 PM
The storm wasn't too bad where I was, but I didn't get my saber until afterwards.  I was one of the fortunate ones who didn't lose power.  Getting the saber was a nice reward after the storm while we were cleaning up though ;D

An Initiate LE v2 in green, seems closer to green than the consular green prophecy that was my 1st saber, the consular green seems more blue than yellow, while this grab bag saber appears more yellow than green, but it isn't as easy to tell unless they are both together.

Actually, I saw the pictures. First, make sure you have fresh batteries (of they're fully charged if Li-Ion). If they aren't you will see variations in color. One time I used my Violet Amethyst Overlord so much that the blade went to Orange due to dead batteries.

But still, it looks like one of the greens COULD be an Emerald Green.

Hi everyone. My name's Rajen and it's been three weeks since my last purchase.

<golf clap>

But, y'know what. I have totally fallen off the wagon and I don't care! I just pulled the trigger on a Manticore with all the trimmings... in Sentinel Yellow!   ;D

What can I say. I need it. Sith happens. And when it does, there better be a Jedi ready to clean up the mess.

(Yup, I'm in trouble...)

Just ordered Christmas gift sabers for my brother and mother.
For brother:
Dark Liberator V3
Consular Green
Red flash
Mid Grade
Obsidian w/ Blue AV
(all his choices from a few months back)

For mother:
Graflex SE
Guardian Blue
no sound, standard battery
She's an original Star Wars fan and won't have much use for the sound as this will probably be mostly for display.

Sometime next month i need to order my son's Initiate V3 LE with sound (because at 2 years old, he's jealous of my wife and my Osidian sabers to the point where we can only pull out the grab bags while he's up and about).  Will post pics when they arrive because i'll need to check them and re-package and wrap.

This thread is somewhat misleading.

Ultrasabers is putting sabers out so fast right now that there isn't any time to get really impatient.  Just got my new Manticore delivered today.  I ordered it at 12am on the 20th.  That's three days (and one of those days it was sitting in the local Fedex depot thru Thanksgiving)  It was made to specs and in the mail the next day.

Ultrasabers DOES send out these sabers as fast as humanly possible, however the actual act of shipping can take a while.  Living on the opposite coast from Ultrasabers, I have a weeks wait for the truck to get all the way here with my saber. 

So Ultrasabers does as great a job as they can do, but the logistics of actual shipping requires a long wait for me.  Ordered my AS Dark Initiate LE V3 last Friday, and I will be (im)patiently waiting by the door for it to arrive today!!! ;D

Agreed, it takes about a week for sabers to get to where I am.

Back on topic, I am now waiting for my next saber. I went ahead and ordered a Sentinal Yellow Manticore with all the trimmings. Sort of an early Christmas gift to myself  ;D

Ive mentioned this a couple times across various posts but this is the official post:

Dark Shock, Emerald green, Quick Disconnect, sound, Non illuminated AV, FoC AS, Recharge port 1.2 No kill key, blade plug, covertech clip, UEHG blade.

Should get it on tuesday. Cant wait!

Im hoping emerald green is as green as some of the pictures. Really looking for a green blade. If not then I guess I'll be picking up another LED module DVA mayhaps or CG.

Look for my review when it gets here!

Are you sure about that? I am usually impatient and anxious about 20min after I placed the order....

LOL.  I was bitten HARD.  In the two weeks since joining this illustrious group, I've ordered 9...

In hand:

1. Graflex CE, CG, Green AV, AS FoC
2. Guardian, GB, Blue AV, AS FoC

Delivery imminent:

3. Dark Monarch, BR, Red AV, AS FoC
4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Grab Bags

ETA 1 week:

9. ConsuLord CE, SY, AS FoC

My thinking on the Grab Bags is that out of the 5, I will snag at least one or two worthy of the collection, and I'll have 2 or 3 to practice with so the collection stays shiny.   ;D

My supportive wife obviously knows about 1. and 2..  I just 'fessed up about the remaining and may be on my way to the dog house as I type this...  :-[  8)

Now if Deep and Ultra will stop with the promotions, I might make it 'til the inevitable Boxing Day sale before making my dog house move permanent!  ;)

I've pretty much snagged my fav designs from the current line-up.  From the grab bag, I'll hopefully get some colours I don't have; to see if I'd like them.  I've fulfilled my collection spectrum; BR, GB, CG, and SY.  I'm thinking a VA blade is inevitable, but don't currently have a hilt in mind.  For me, the Glaive's and Malice are a little over the top.  I do feel a pleasurable tremor in the force when looking at the Shock LE and Manticore though.  ::)

Part of giving some very good friends of ours two of my sabers for their wedding earlier this fall was that I would get to replace them for Christmas. Thanks to the sale over the weekend (which I nearly missed, mind you), that order's been placed:

Belllicose in BR, Red AV, Silver FoC, Bronze Button, QDs, and a Covertec clip, since this will be my first saber with the Covertec knob.

Oh, yeah, and Obsidian Sound! This will /also/ be my first saber with sound. I went back and forth, a lot, on whether to replace the pair of sabers or to get one with sound. The advice from the forum was a resounding "What's wrong with you? Why don't you have sound yet? Get that, you silly mook!"

Sadly, even if she were to arrive in three days flat, all I get to do is open the box, inspect for damage during shipping, and then hand her over to the wife until Christmas. This is going to be a LONG month.

Consular in red's not a common combo, but I'm intrigued.  Must search the gallery...

Just ordered the Shock LE in Consular Green/Orange FOC, gonna put that MLS in my Archon and make the Shock LE DVA/BH FOC. My DVA turned out to be more like a lightning purpleblue, which is GORGEOUS. If I order another DVA module, can I request that they lessen the blue a bit? Not sure if that'd work lol. And it's shipping ridiculously FAST, it'll be here Friday, it shipped yesterday.

I just ordered my son's Christmas present:
Initiate V3 LE
Consular Green
Silver Flash
Obsidian w/ Red AV

Also ordered for myself with Christmas money i received:
Malice emitter with Large blades and Gold button
Archon pommel
40" Mid Grade blade
(all three to make my Blazing Red Consular into something more intimidating)
MLS in DVA with Silver flash
Manticore emitter
(those two to make the same Consular into something 'Lighter')

Took advantage of the sale for sabers with sound and the saber stand deal (to give my mother a stand for her saber that's likely to be a display piece), and realized that i could afford both customizations for my Consular because i had a good number of Rewards Points saved up (almost got the MLS for free).

My beautiful and loving wife ordered me a stunt SRD Overlord w/ vented flush coupler to go with my SRD obsidian one, so I get my first staff. I'm excited, thanks US for putting it on sale to finally get her to let me get it.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter when it arrives because my evil wife has stated that since it is a Christmas Present, it gets wrapped up and put under the tree. 

But on one final semi-bright side, we usually buy a lot of presents for each other, and by Christmas Eve we normally only have one present left under the tree.

Post by: JapzLapeno on December 06, 2012, 08:51:08 PM
eerockk: Most definitely.  Somewhere i had a thread about the idea for this saber and used MS Paint to approximate how it would look.  was trying to suggest an even longer blade to make it a lightsaber nodachi, but that's not going to work as i heard even the 40" gets dim towards the end.  i was also basing it off of the small blade version of the emitter, but decided to opt for the large blade version because a) it's more intimidating which fits the name i've given it (Kyoufu, japanese for fear, terror, horror, dread) and b) the large blades don't cost extra and the small blades don't knock the price down.  Also looking forward to how the Manticore emitter looks on the Consular (kinda wish they offered a nickel plated version of that emitter to match my Consular's shroud).

reiperx: Awesome sounding staff.  My wife and i generally don't hold onto Christmas (or any) presents for each other because she's impatient.  The only way for her to stop wanting to give me what she got for me within a day or so is to completely forget that she got it for me and forget where she hid it.  And if she knows i got her something (hard to hide when we both keep a close eye on our finances) she'll bug me constantly until i tell her what it is, and then constantly complain until i give it to her.  We make everyone else wait though.   ;D

I feel your pain and frustration, my GF bought me a Manticore for Christmas, it just arrived and she won't let me open it. In regards to the shipping, I couldn't agree more, 4 business days and it's on my doorstep. Awesome.  :D

I Love FedEX.

My first saber was shipped within 24 hours (US is awesome like that) and it arrived in Nashville the following Tuesday, but didn't get delivered until Thursday. The saber I won in a raffle had a similar issue, it arrived and sat until the limit (5 day shipping or whatever it was). FedEX, as soon as its in town, its at my door whether or not its early. Maybe I just got unlucky with UPS, I don't know but they left a bad taste in my mouth.

I've had the complete opposite with experiences personally. UPS got my stuff to me in eight days every single time (except for one time when the truck broke down). FedEx takes ten to eleven days, and they charge me fees when I DO get it!

This is the first time I've dealt with FedEx and it was smooth sailing from the start, the saber actually arrived yesterday which was a day early, but because i wasn't home they didn't leave it at the doorstep, but after a brief phone call all was sorted  and coming from a customer service based industry having it turn up before the given ETA  just makes it all the more sweeter.

I'm eagerly waiting for my Shock LE and Bellicose... to come back to me.
I sent them in to be retrofit with recharge ports, and I'm really excited to not only have them back again, but to have them back and better than ever.

The original delivery estimate from FedEx was yesterday, but it's since been updated to tomorrow. Oh, the anticipation!

I think I'm going ahead with my house Sith Saber purchase. I'm going with the Dominix LE, Malice square black and silver pommel, Li-On setup, and BR on midgrade/heavygrade blades. Just waiting to hear back from Emory to see if I can send him a money order to avoid credit card/PayPal usage, and I'll mail out the money order with his blessings!

The Bellicose is amazing man! I got the short groove pommel with mine because it has some nice mill work at the bottom of the hilt, but the long groove version is cool too. I opted for the Archon pommel cause it's my favorite pommel style and I was floored US offered it.

I have my eyes set on a BR Dominix LE in BR though...

Got me a Dark War Glaive with silver claws in Blazing Red with non-illuminated AV switch and AS FOC.  Also got an extra emitter in Fire Orange with VA FOC and a grab bag for good measure.  I didn't specify anything on the grab bag except a HG blade.  I got secret plans for the blade.....   [evil laugh]

Someone mentioned a few pages back they got something in Sentinel Yellow.  I'm pissed at myself that I forgot that color!!  Guess I know what color my next saber will be.  lol.

I'm waiting for my UEHG grab bag in CG. I got it to sample the quality before I save for the one I want with all the bells and whistles. If I get lucky and I get the hilt I want (Dark Libby), I can just send it out for a color change and the bells and whistles later. I can't wait. My friend at the garage is, shall we say, screwed.  ;D And I'm also looking forward to sparring with TJ when Hoth....I mean Wintertime PA thaws. I'll probably do a review when it gets here. I'm going nuts with the wait though... Force help me. I'm not too worried about the quality though, seems no matter what you get around here, you are awe struck at the craftsmanship. It just sucks that January 4th is gonna take forever...  :'(

The retrofit is done and my sabers are finally back in hand! I missed them while they were away, but I'm glad to see them better than ever.

Plus, I was given two new LEDs, two new blades, and a new pommel for the Holidays, so now I've had the chance to put them together. It's really exciting; sufficiently so that I may finally do that Bellicose review I've been meaning to do for months now!

1- Initate blade : This is for my Prophecy, thus making it a shoto ( hope I got that right)

1- War Glaive Claw : This is also for my Prophecy (Thnks go out to Darkhorse V for his inspiration)

1- Covertec belt clip : So I can FINALLY wear my hilt around the house :)

I am not so patiently waiting for my grab bag to arrive. I have gone two days without an update from FedEx, which means of course that it has either been sitting in Reno or that they neglected to scan it in at somepoint closer. I just hope that FedEx doesn't mess up my saber, the Last time I used Fed Ex they some how managed to mess up my new fuel pump, so fingers are crossed here.

Got my saber on the 8th.  There was an issue with the red LED as I got it in SY.  I emailed them and they responded the next morning.  Personally, I blame FedEx.  The package was cracked on the side.  The service is incredible at US as represented by the very fast response time by Emory himself.  I've never experienced customer care that was this responsive.  Thank you US.  Can't wait to get it back to do my review.

I got mine back in November then had an invoice for a customs charge from the delivery company of only £16 which I thought wasn't too bad.  I think Ultrasabers try to keep the costs down on the customs as much as possible so whatever you;ve ordered it should be something similar.  I may be wrong though but fingers crossed for you mate.

I wish you all the best with your new Saber!!

Moi aussi!  All that gold is just so rich.  For me, the solid gold (coloured) section on the emitter is less hypnotic than the Dark Shock's alternating black and "silver".  For my aging eyes, that's a good thing.   ;)  Also, the gold covertec wheel is icing on the cake.  Add an AV so there's no black at all, and the LE really stands out as unique and classy.  Now if only I hadn't spent my grandkids inheritance an that Malice order...  :-[ :-[

I have a VA FOC on one of my MLS units, but it's main color is orange, not red.  That said, the VA does look really cool.

Post by: hedgehog1 on January 20, 2013, 10:22:34 AM
I  ordered my very first light saber ever.  Very late Friday night I ordered a standard issue all silver body with GB. No sound for this first one.

I have never had even a toy light saber before. I do have a thing for LEDs, and am a general sci-fi nut. So I think I am due for a saber.

I ordered this first saber with the resistor, as I plan to mess with a variety of buck pucks to try and get shimmer, FOC and blade lockup without requiring a sound board.  One version of the buck puck offers TTL compatible dimming, so I think I will try using two buck pucks: one constant current buck puck for 'main power' LED, and a variable buck puck for the effects LED.  I think a slower, steady cycle for the shimmer, an a fast cycle for FOC will be a decent way to start.

I will see how much I can fit in a saber.  Pity a raspberry-pi computer won't fit in a saber, then this could all be done with software.

See my post about my very first saber at the top of this page?  It is six days later, I have been playing with that first saber and am now waiting for my second saber.  It is an arbiter with an orange blade, sound and AC FoC.

I didn't even last a whole week before I ordered another.

Ordered my second Obsidian saber for myself (fifth one in the house).  Crimson Reaper in Arctic Blue with Silver flash and Red AV.  Ordered it with birthday money.  Turning 30, so thinking of calling it Sanjuro (which according to the movies Yojimbo and Sanjuro means "Thirty-Year-Old").  Saw a hoodie based on Sark from Tron.  Want to get that to wear with this saber.   ;D  I knew i wasn't going to be patient with this one, so i picked the 2-day shipping.

Post by: setsu9 on January 28, 2013, 06:19:23 AM
Well, I just did it. Sorry for the mega post, but I pulled the trigger on my very first saber purchase.

I took advantage of the sales on at the moment and got the Dark Arbiter for myself and the Shock LE for my girlfriend. Both of them are fully decked out with all the options. Obsidian sound, FoC, recharge ports, AV switches, covertec, everything. I've read up all the reviews I can possibly find and everyone says that whatever saber they got is amazing, and that if you're in doubt, buy that one. But also that the arbiter in particular is very nice for dueling.

I had originally wanted to get myself a Consular but when the sale on the Arbiter was just on I thought that would be nice, but I'd prefer a Dark Arbiter. Lo and behold, the Dark Arbiter came up next while the winter sales were still on also. So here I am posting about it.

My girlfriend wanted the VA, I still plan on getting the Consular later on in CG (of course), so I got this one in GB. Also, an extra BR MLS unit to swap out when I'm feelin a bit Sith-ish.

I'm super excited and I'll be sure to post an in depth review of both with heaps of pictures for all of you guys when they arrive. Hopefully that's not too long, but I'm in Australia, so...

It is awesome, a Reaper in Consular.

Yeah it's not one of the replica colours. despite several of the council originally having yellow, orange or even adi gallia's red saber. Don't see why they had them all blue and green in AOTC/ROTS

Post by: Waxman on February 05, 2013, 05:40:26 AM
... My new grab-bag purchased on Sunday morning, of course, during the 15% sale, just like last time.

I'm particularly looking forward to this one because I ordered a Mid-Grade blade with the selection and other than 2 UE 32' blades, I have no idea how well a regular Mid-Grade will look in CG, GB, SRD, SY, and possibly another randomized color from the purchase.  My colors are nice and bright, but I want them to be blindingly bright and vibrant.  I want my opponents to be so mesmerized during my night-time battles with my saber group that they lose focus... or something like that.

I really am open to whatever Ultrasaber's decides to give me, a lot more so than my previous 2 Grab-Bag purchases as I mostly made this purchase just for the Mid-Grade Blade but I could always use a new saber.

They could give me an Aeon or Dominix V2.  That's fine because then I would purchase a coupler and make a staff.
I could get another Liberator.  That's good too.  It's because of the Grab-Bag that I love the Liberator models.
They could give me an Initiate V2.  I could use that saber in my off-hand or let little kids use it as they always complain that the others are too heavy, even the Initiate's.

In terms of colors, hopefully FO, AS, VA, BR, or AB would be a nice addition, preferably FO or BR, but then again, if it turns out to be a GB Dominix V2, hey, that's fine, it will make the staff more complete.

Of course, I'm pretty much open to anything right now.  While I am always hoping for a higher-end V3, especially one that is not an Initiate V3, in the end, the more sabers the better.

This last winter I had around 5-7 sabers [two were beat up MR's] at my disposal during a New Years party.  The little kids went wild, which is always a joy.  Many of the adults told me how many times they asked if I was visiting during the holidays, particularly because of my Ultrasabers.  Well, I want to be that guy who has like 50 sabers one day so that every-single-person at the party can have their own saber.
Then I will record the mayhem, upload it, and reap the benefits or become really popular or something.

TL,DR Version:  My new Grab-Bag.

And the wait begins,
Just ordered the Archon v2 in Consular green with Silver Flash on Clash and with a red Av switch. This is gonna be my first saber with sound from US and I can't wait to get it.

After buying a few sabers without sound (and a few with) so far my favorite one is the Standard Issue v3. When I compare it to the sabers that i have it feels more balanced and I just like the overall feel to it. I hope that the Archon v2 has a similar feel to it. I already plan on painting the Archon emitter a bronze/copper for the RotJ Luke Skywalker saber look.

My grab bag should be here today, it's on the van awaiting delivery.
On another note, I got a letter from fed ex today saying I owe them £16.64 for import fees from my first saber.
I wouldn't mind so much but a) the tax was only £6.14 and fed ex slapped an extra £10.50 on it for the courtesy of paying for it; and b) I looked up import fees when I ordered my first saber, and say that less than £130 or so shouldn't incur any charges, and the stated value on the invoice was only $50...
Cheeky bastards

Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!

Pay check to arrive.  Just completing 147.75 hours in two weeks.  Received bonus pay on top of overtime for working the worst of the worst shifts and areas.  Between work and the final lessons before Black Belt testing, I am really looking forward to my latest creation as my reward.  Got the sabers selected, working on the colors and thinking about blade types.

Right? I have 8 sabers and a couple of them just don't get enough use. Might get rid of a few for one more big purchase for the time being!

And to keep on topic I'm impatiently waiting for the funds for a new purchase  :)

Hello everyone!

I'm currently waiting on parts: an initiate blade for my Arbiter, a 16" blade and a flush coupler with vents.
I don't know when they are supposed to arrive because I didn't get a tracking number, yet? I ordered them on the 2/10.

Point for putting an Initiate on the Arbiter! (I champion that combo myself)

Seems like an odd choice to use a short blade like that. Do you use it as a secondary for dual wielding?

Post by: Des Rado on February 18, 2013, 09:46:20 PM
Well, truthfully, I think a shorter blade will allow for more control. With the 36" I have on it currently, there is a lot a play at the end of the saber that I don't necessarily want. Single wielding for now, still a noob at spins and such. lol


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Manroon on February 18, 2013, 09:58:53 PM
Sent you a PM commenting on the same, but I actually wield my Arby that way. Single wield it with an Initiate blade and it DOES give you LOADS of control. The trick is to get that long hilt with the short blade, and then right at the start of a duel just press in as close as you can. Go on the offensive right away before your opponent can react. Once you are in close, you can dance around his blade easily, blocking and cutting with the same motions. First time I pulled that trick, I beat my Bro quickly and easily, with minimal effort. He has superior training and experience and has destroyed me in duels since we were kids. I've beaten him maybe 10 times in as many years. Got him right out of the gate with the munchkin Arby. LOL

That blade is also great for in the house practice though. :)

Post by: Moebius Omega on February 18, 2013, 10:25:29 PM
I was considering a shorter blade for my reaper, even without the claws it's a long hilt at 15", but ive taken off the shroud as its a bit wide for my grip (small hands for a guy) and the emitter and pommel are two pieces themselves so to take off a couple of inches I removed the slant from the pommel:

Ahhh ok. That makes sense. As for being a noob, everyone starts somewhere. I have never touched one of these but trained in swords in Kung Fu for years so I am anticipating that I can use that training with these.

I was pointed to this site over the weekend and immediately fell in love with two different sabers; the Crimson Reaper and the Guardian. both made my little ol' heart patter like a beautiful girl walking by. So I fought to narrow it down to one, and eventually the Crimson Reaper won out. I bought it as a stunt saber, with a violet amethyst blade. No bells and whistles; just a basic dueling saber. It is supposed to arrive on Friday, according to FedEx.

Flash to today. I just couldn't get that Guardian out of my head. It's beautiful in it's simple design and just plain awesome in my honest opinion. AND it just kept calling to me. SO. I went back to the site and oggled it more and checked what it would cost with all the bells and whistles applied and before I knew it; I was receiving the e-mail thanking me for my order. So now I have another saber soon to be on it's way to me. this one has a Sunrider's Destiny blade, FoC silver, recharge port, Obsidian 3.0 sound, and all the other stuff to go with it; except how to explain my inability to resist. :D

Haha I know that feeling!
I ordered a standard reaper, consular green with sound and a green av switch. I was trying to save some money so I didn't get the FoC, though I'm regretting it now (even more so as I didn't apply the quick disconnect).
Ten days later its the Super Bowl weekend and there is a 15% discount...and I order a grab bag without really thinking about it. My Aeon stunt saber in sentinel yellow arrived a week later.
Now I really want a Consular in amethyst with sound and flash on clash, and a new led module to give my reaper the FoC. This is a really expensive hobby and its been a little over a month...

Finally gave in and ordered my first saber -- Crimson Reaper, sound, SRD with a UEHG.  Didn't go for FoC or recharge ports in order to keep costs down to a reasonable level.  I kind of wish I had sprung for all the bells and whistles, but that can always come later, with other sabers.

Who knows -- maybe I'll order another Crimson Reaper, and turn this sucker into a saberstaff.

I did the same with my reaper, no FoC, no recharge.
With my next order I'm considering ordering an additional led module so I can have the FoC, ill post a link on adding it in if I do :)

Well I received my first saber today and all I can say is WHOA!!!!!! This Crimson Reaper is awesome! It's just a stunt saber so no sound; and now I wish I had gotten all the bells and whistles on it; but that can be modded later. It has a Violet Amethyst blade, which doesn't photograph well it seems. lol

Finally ordered a saber staff.  Went with the Phantasm, Sentinel Yellow, Obsidian and Blue AV on one hilt, no flash, LE hilts on both sides, silver flush vented coupler.  I wanted a staff with sound, but can't afford to drop the cash for a dual sound saber.  This way i also get an Obsidian and stunt Aeon (i love the feel of my kid's Initiate V3 for full force wielding).  Missed the sale by 2 days though.  :P  Waiting for news of it shipping because i selected to have it overnighted because my patience as of late has been non-existent.

This the 10th saber i've ordered since July, my wife is looking forward to getting the 11th saber (probably a similar staff) for the household, and i think that may be it for a while.  We might order again around christmas, but other financial obligations are looming and we can't afford to keep feeding our addiction, especially as often as we have.  Hopefully they don't roll out another awesome saber when we happen to have money again, like what happened with the Crimson Reaper, because i'll be begging the wife to let me order it.  ;D

Had no intentions of ordering anything for quite some time.  Initially, I wasn't even tempted by this weekend's 10% off.  Then the devil Sith on my right shoulder whispered...

"Pssst.  The Dark Monarch is Deal of the Day.  If you combine that with the 10%, that's one sweet deal.  Yeah, I know you already have one.  But you don't have a staff!  And you already have a stash of couplers.  And a Dark Monarch staff in Blazing Red will likely be the absolute sexiest staff in the galaxy..."

So, my BR/AS-FoC red-AV Dark Monarch will soon be twinned.  Well, except the new one will be Obsidian 3.

"Pssst.  Don't worry.  The bruises from the beating your wife will inflict will heal...in time..."

I am new, but... I am currently waiting for a Violet Amythest Manticore with Green AV switch, Obsidian sound, Ulraedge Mid blade, and recharge port, that I ordered over the weekend, and seems to have been shipped out today.

I am normally a very patient person, to the point that I had originally planned to not order my first saber until later this year, or until the Manticore came up on Deal of the Day. But, I made an account on the US store site a few days ago, and got the email about the 10% sound sale...  With that my normally patient demeanor kind of shortened by a few months...

Alas, I am having it shipped on the cheapest / slowest rate.  So patiently, albeit excitedly, I wait for it to arrive.

don't worry, slow by US standards is like a week. That's pretty standard. It has gotten to members on the other side of the world in about a week and a half. You buy a saber from somewhere else... and "fast" is a couple months. Don't you worry, your saber will be to you before you know it. I totally understand the feeling though ;) I looked at the tracking page on my first order 10 times a day like that would make it go faster. haha

Yeah both times unfortunately. It's around £16. For a grab bag its an extra 30% to pay which is unfortunate, but if you go all out (sound, FoC etc) it's not too bad comparatively

Phantasm was supposed to be delivered today (overnight shipping), but the delivery guy came and didn't bother to ring the doorbell.  He just stuck a door tag and left.  I can't pick it up at the facility because it's only available after 5:45pm and they close at 6:00pm.  They'll drop it off tomorrow with a signed door tag, but that's not what i paid for.  It's like he saw that there were no cars parked up against the house and didn't bother to try.  We're parked out further in the yard because we have a giant dumpster for the roofers that are supposed to be working on our roof soon, and because that part of the yard floods when there's heavy rain like we had the last few days.  I'm more than a little angry now because i paid for the overnight shipping and i'm basically getting ripped off because the driver's lazy.  Tried calling them and maneuvering the system to talk to an actual person, but they were less than helpful.

As much as people don't like UPS, i've never had a problem with them, and i'd have my Phantasm right now if they were the ones delivering it.  Between this and the fact that the last couple of packages looked like they'd been mishandled, i'm really not happy with FedEx.  Just to be clear, i don't think this is Ultrasabers' fault.  I'm pretty sure this is all the local FedEx people.

And not i have to wait another day for my Phantasm, which wouldn't be a problem had i not paid for the overnight shipping.

FedEx is irritating me, as well.  They haven't updated their tracking information for my package since Friday, and my saber is supposed to be here tomorrow.  According to their site, it's been sitting in Sacramento since Friday.  I requested email notifications on all occurrences, and have received none.  In my opinion, there's no excuse for a total lack of communication such as this.  Wherever my shipment is in the North American continent, I should be able to find out.

This, so far, has been the only negative part of my service experience, and it's certainly not Ultra Sabers' fault -- they shipped my saber the day I placed my order, which is awesome to me.  I was super excited to get that email.

I've never had a positive experience with FedEx, and if their delivery guy does to me what they did to the above poster, you can bet there will be complaints logged.

I had similar experiences.  In my case, FedEx handed over to a sub-contracted carrier for the final leg (2 days) of the journey and their website/notifications wouldn't get updated during this time.  Overall delivery time wasn't really effected.  Just the frustration of not knowing exactly when to expect...the precious.   :)

After waiting on the phone for a service representative for a while, I've discovered that exact reason is why they haven't updated my tracking information.  Apparently, my saber was handed off to a contracted carrier Friday morning, and as of today, they haven't provided any updates for FedEx to respond to my inquiries.  So I'm a little less directly frustrated with them.

I apologize for snapping back at Moebius, but I still hold to what I said at the end of my post, just as a general rule -- if you have an issue, PM me or involve a moderator.

I apologize as it appears my venting may have started something which has been wiped from the thread since i was on earlier today.

Looking forward to tomorrow when my Phantasm arrives (signed the door sheet thing so they can just drop it on the bench next to my front door).  Hopefully it'll be delivered before i head to work.  I'll probably post up a review on Thursday when i'm off, maybe a vid review from outdoors if it stays dry.  Looking forward to having a new color in my collection, there's been far too much CG recently.  I'll probably get a full collection shot (including my mother's and brother's sabers) up too since i don't know when my wife will get around to ordering her staff.

Darn, just remembered i was gonna order it with a covertec clip so i could wear my other two hilts while carrying the staff (have one clip right now).  Oh well, i'll probably put in another parts order, though i don't know what else i could order that i actually want right now (that's not another full saber anyway).  Hrm...  Grab bag. . ?

As the sale coincided with my birthday yesterday, I thought I'd jump on board the bandwagon.

So my first purchase is an Aeon LE with (hopefully, if I got the order right) a Pyrestone Orange UEMG blade. I've heard that UE blades don't work as well with orange, but we'll see - I'm intrigued to see how it turns out. As I have plans to hopefully buy more in the future, I can try different blades to see how things go.

10% off was to good of a sale to pass up on. I wasnt sure
what to get, US has so many great choices to choose from.
So I decided on a couple of stunt sabers, a Manticore in
fire orange with quick disconnect (love that feature) with low
profile pommel.  I also got the Dark Standard Issue Battle
Saber v3 in blazing red with vertical grooves. The vertical
grooves looks pretty sharp from the photos.
I cant wait.

Pics and videos to follow basically as soon as it arrives. Like with Vex, mine was dispatched within 24 hours of ordering, which is amazing.

It should be here by week's end. Of course, my wife is due to give birth sometime around then, so if I'm a few days delayed, well, some things have to take priority ;)

*

Adak, that sounds like a great pair of 'sabres. The Dark Battle is just crying out for a red blade, and I like the Manticore a little bit more every time I look at it.

Agreed.  Eerockk...ROCKS!  PS  (im)PWwfmn...Dark Arbiter: FO/BR !!!

The DA didn't really float my boat...until I discovered (via the VERY scanty site/forum pix and info) those oh-so-sexy (!) perimeter holes on the emitter facing.  THEN, I was still reluctant, as taking the neck/grenade-grip out of the equation is problematic...without an alternate MHS insert and quick-disconnects - which I did go with.

Colour choice was my next dilemma.  Not counting my RGB stunt, I don't yet have a VA.  The final (desired) colour missing from my collection was FO.  VA...FO...VA...FO...  FO won because it now has a matching AV!!!! The only drawback of FO is the VERY limited selection for F-o-C.  I was tempted to break new ground with CG flash, but played it safer with BR.

So much for the $ I saved by NOT buying anything on the "everything" sale this past weekend...  :-[

Hmm, well you learn something new every day I guess - "in transit" seems to be the general term for "between US and your house" rather than "actually moving"

My 'sabre spent a day and a half "in transit" in Indianapolis, which a little wiki-ing tells me is a main FedEx distribution centre for parcels to the UK. It seems that time was just spent getting sorted and so on - maybe even put on a plane? Anyway, it departed that location around 9am local time this morning, so hopefully it's now winging its way across the Atlantic.

It's still scheduled as arriving on time tomorrow, and I haven't lost track of how remarkable it is that for $40 I can get something that size delivered across more than 5000 miles of the Earth's surface. Neverthless, I'm rapidly devolving from patient to impatient here  ;D

Post by: Moebius Omega on March 14, 2013, 02:35:49 PM
If its for delivery tomorrow you'll likely find it at Stanstead airport awaiting clearance from customs by this evening.
You'll also likely receive a bill for approximately £16 for import tax in a week or so.

Post by: James Casey on March 14, 2013, 04:38:59 PM
Hmm, thanks for the warning. I'd allowed myself to forget about that.

I wonder if I can argue that there's no-one in the UK (EU?) who makes these - I'm sure there's meant to be an exemption along those lines...

Post by: Moebius Omega on March 14, 2013, 06:37:34 PM
Yeah I heard that. And I also read something about charges not being applicable on electronics worth less than £130.
My first saber was labeled with a value of $50, (despite its actual value being $350), and I still got the bill for it...

@Angel. Nice choice. I have a Bellicose myself. Guardian Blue Ultra Edge Heavy Grade blade, silver blade holder, gold button, non lit av switch, Obsidian, and short groove pommel. Its one of my most favorite hilts in the higher end line. xp And for what I'm waiting for, just to buy another saber. Lol. I got the Ultra Sabers bug again. xp I might get me an Aeon V2 LE in Blazing Red to match with my brother. Wouldn't know what kind of shroud to do for that one though.

SOOOOOOO...... I decided that my Crimson Reaper just wasn't right without sound or FOC so I ordered parts to upgrade it. I felt I need to learn how to do this for later on building some custom sabers with my own mark on them, Jedi trials style :D So in the interest of replacing the guts of my Reaper; I started checking how far I could go in taking the saber down to it's various parts and noticed a connection in the center of the hilt that I think might be another screw together section. Well I wrapped each section with a soft cloth (first mistake) and proceeded in using two pipe wrenches to take it apart. I now have a well scratched Crimson reaper that is still very much together.

Long story short, I was torn. So I think the Reaper is going to become a new and different saber. I still have the parts I ordered waiting for it's resurrection, and it will soon be started as a modified Reaper with a wooden sheath, Wookiee markings and accoutrements.

But that is another story. In the interim; I went ahead and ordered another Crimson Reaper with the internals for sound and FOC. LOL

I am now the proud owner of 5; yes I sand FIVE US Sabers :D

The reaper does separate in the middle, in between the two oblong shapes made by the machined grooves, but I didn't have any trouble unscrewing it by hand, it was as easy as removing the pommel or emmitter sections (which themselves are made of two separate components).
This is going to make my life a little easier when I add an led with a FoC. I just need to figure out which of the four wires stuck to the switch are functional and which ones lead to the FoC from the sound board lol

Hmmmm.... Really?!?!?! Well I guess I'll have to find a couple of strap wrenches and put a little bit more effort in taking it apart. That will give me more room in placing all of the wires. As for the switch and FOC; you should look at Vex's Wiring Diagram (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=8667.0)

I've removed all of the electronics from the crimson and am heading out to Radio Shack tomorrow to pick up some solder wick and heat shrink tube.  I'll also drop by Home Depot and get a couple of wrenches for the job. I broke the switch pretty badly pulling it out of the hilt; but thank God I ordered a new one cause the Obsidian needs a momentary switch any way.

I posted a thread in the Customizations area to continue this. it is Here (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=12782.0)

...complete my colour-check-list for my Obsidian sabers: blue (GB), green (CG), red (BR), yellow (SY), silver (AS), orange (FO) and violet (VA).  These are seven of the standard (non-forum, except SY) colours that, to me, represent...maximum, distinct, spectrum-spacing (MDSS*).  AB, SRD, plus the forum colours are various degrees of...'tween.  That's not to say I'll never get them...  ;D

WOW it never fails I'm always early to the party. I was ordering some extra parts on Tuesday and decided I needed another saber so I ordered it to justify the 18 bucks in shipping; and now they throw a raffle on me. these guys are devious, aren't they :P lol

That's OK. I've decided I don't need any more sabers right now. With the Malice I got today with my parts, I now have 6 US sabers, so I need to grow a few more hands before I can order more LOL

I also ordered some parts from TCSS to start my custom Kashyyk saber. I'll most likely put Obsidian sound in it if it will fit, but their parts will not house US led modules :( I'm not sure I can post it here since I'll be using a competitors parts in the build though.

Ordered my wife's staff to get into the raffle.  Phantasm V3, Pyrestone Orange, Initiate Blades, Obsidian on one hilt, Li-Ion w/ BuckPuck on both, regular switches, regular hilts, silver flush vented coupler, one vented and one regular pommel.  It's very similar to my Phantasm which i ordered a month or so ago, but mine was Sentinel Yellow, 32" blades, and LE hilts.  Crossing my fingers to win anything, though our luck isn't so good with stuff like that.  This was going to be our last purchase for a while, so it'd be nice to go out with a bang (you know, until Christmas  ;D ).  This is the 11th saber (counting each staff as 1 saber) we've bought since we discovered the site in July.

...Initiate LE and Dark Initiate LE v2's, both in Adegan Silver with 16" mid-grades...for my soon-to-be 2 twin granddaughters.  :-*   Pshyco Poppy (extended family, had to differentiate myself from the other grandparents!) hopes he won't be responsible for ER visits or big-screen TV demolition.   :-[  :'( 

In order to qualify for the raffle, I chucked in a couple more 16"-ers and a Manticore emitter to complete my crazy long-hilted Dark Monarch/Manitcore staff.  That didn't quite make the $250 mark so I added a Prophecy CE pommel (did I ever mention I love NICKEL?!?!).  Still shy, I'm defying the non-MHS Bane emitter and WILL make it work.   8)

Ordered the DotD Friday night for the Raffle. Another Overlord...I'm so glad the Bellicose didn't show up as DotD this morning! lol

Post by: Moebius Omega on March 24, 2013, 12:37:20 PM
I'm a little disappointed, I would have preferred the overlord to the graflex.
I was hoping something like the consular or manticore would come up. Now I'm trying to justify paying full price while looking at my bank balance...

Well I finally gave in. Things are tough with my girlfriend at the moment, she says she's considering breaking up with me.
So I figured I deserved a pick me up...a consular in SY with obsidian :) I hope I get something in the raffle too, I think I deserve a bit of luck right now

Sorry to hear about your girl trouble.  Nice pick on the Consular.

I see all these purchases being made and fear my poor luck creeping up on me.  Don't make me turn Sith, pull out Kyoufu, and hunt you all down, lol.   ;D  Just kidding.  Good luck to all of us who are in the raffle.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. This is my first raffle so my hopes are high. But even if I dont win, like you said the consular is a great looking saber.

Ordered my new Overlord Friday night. Just now got the FedEx email the my package has shipped already. That's the fastest processing I've seen in any of my orders yet!

Post by: JapzLapeno on March 26, 2013, 08:14:43 AM
I've had some fast processing on a lot of sabers i've ordered.  I think the slowest processing i've seen is them taking a couple days for a Phantasm with forum colors.  It's understandable that they don't keep the cheaper hilts lying around with the special colors, and two or three days to process a lightsaber order is still fast as hell.

Just before going to bed on 3/25, I received an email telling me my new saber is in route.  FedEx states it should arrive by Friday.  I know what I am doing this weekend   :D

My new staff will be here in a matter of hours. Greatly looking forward to its arrival because I've waited far too long for it.

Post by: Dragon Lancer on March 28, 2013, 02:46:36 PM
As indicated in my sig, just Yesterday, I purchased what is essentially the Phantom V3. I ended up going the long way around :-[, getting 2 Dominix V3 sabers and a black flush coupler, all for (luckily) only $20 more than I had to. With both, I got the regular MG blades that will burn in Fire Orange. Thus I called it the "Blazing Buckler". As for the "Buckler" name, It is essentially a Personal Defense Saber that is usually accompanying a (fictional, though actually, if crudely, built (ply-wood staves, duct tape, cardboard tube, and an old Razor Scooter steering bar)) Drakon Marine Corps standard issue Heavy Assault Rifle. I neglected to mention in my post in the introduction thread that I have a very active imagination and a whole, epic Sci-Fi/Fantasy story going on. Therefore, any other sabers I get from here will follow that story. If you're curious about the story, feel free to hit me up. I won't bite. :)

I'll take your Friday night and raise you a Sunday. I ordered last Sunday at about 3:00 pm New Jersey time and the saber was shipped Tuesday. That's amazing. Unfortunately FedEx won't deliver it until next Tuesday. That's not bad at all. But people here had raised my expectations a little too high, what with stories of people from the Republic of Backwaterstan receiving their sabers in a week. i figured Calif. to NJ then should be about two or three days :-).

I am so very impatiently awaiting the arrival of my first saber, a Prophecy V3 in CG.
I have already planned mods that I am going to perform on it, mostly being painting of the hilt.

Post by: JapzLapeno on March 29, 2013, 07:34:34 AM
Mine arrived at FedEx on Tuesday around 5pm.  It didn't move for about 25 hours.  Originally, on Tuesday, they were estimating a Saturday (March 30) delivery, but by the time it finally moved on Wednesday, it got pushed to Tuesday (April 2).  It spent 11 hours getting from San Jose, CA to Sacramento, CA and then sat there for another 11 hours before moving again.  The wait is killing me because this package has my wife's Phantasm staff, and i'm pretty sure it has my First Prize from the raffle too (and i'm dying to find out what i got).  Being in Florida sucks.  But i didn't want to spend over $40 on fast shipping again.  It could have been here today.

I ordered the aeon rgb, and I got it on Wednesday the 27th. I got it with 2 day shipping, and its still processing.. is it because of the raffle?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Moebius Omega on March 29, 2013, 11:47:58 PM
Yeah quite possibly. There was probably quite a rush with all those great prizes on.
Plus today is Good Friday so there's probably nobody there today.

Always a good idea to leave a note, a day early wont hurt either.
Mine arrived at FedEx on Tuesday around 5pm.  It didn't move for about 25 hours.  Originally, on Tuesday, they were estimating a Saturday (March 30) delivery, but by the time it finally moved on Wednesday, it got pushed to Tuesday (April 2).  It spent 11 hours getting from San Jose, CA to Sacramento, CA and then sat there for another 11 hours before moving again.  The wait is killing me because this package has my wife's Phantasm staff, and i'm pretty sure it has my First Prize from the raffle too (and i'm dying to find out what i got).  Being in Florida sucks.  But i didn't want to spend over $40 on fast shipping again.  It could have been here today.

 Try not to be angry with FedEx. Its only an eta (estimated time of arrival)
It is tax season and they get very busy. Theres a number of reasons that
could slow the movement of one pkg. ie Flat tire, car accident, weather
I've had my pkg slowed down by a few day before, it sucked but i'm sure
there was a reason for it. They arrived safely, and it was worth the wait.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: JapzLapeno on March 30, 2013, 09:18:58 AM
Not angry, just have the patience of a 5 year old (at best) at the moment.  I got the cheapest available shipping option when i ordered this one, so the package sitting at places for a while doesn't really bother me, and the ETA changing once it got moving is natural.  Also the ETA changing more than one day over a Holiday weekend is understandable.

I'm also kinda bored with my other hobbies at the moment, so i've been messing around more with my sabers, which just keeps this shipment on my mind more, so yeah.  Like i said, it's just me having no patience because i want to know what i got from the raffle.   ;D

If it weren't for these forums, my experience with Ultrasabers would have included a lot of guesswork, and frustration, perhaps! Because I came here and read about everything (while saving my coin), I knew that I knew what I was doing when I clicked on the order button in my cart. I hope I can return that favor to anyone who would ask me.

Well, I got word this weekend that my "Blazing Buckler" dual Dominix V3 w/ black flush coupler is waiting for me at my local FedEx office. The fun thing is, it's not even a mile away from where I work, so I can pick it up when my day is done. ;D I may not post pics today, depends on how long the batteries take to charge. Although I will most likely be doing a little shadow sparring while I wait. Like I'm sure most (if not all) of you were when you got your first lightsaber, I'm quite excited.

Silver illuminated AV switch

I asked for them switch out the black covertech wheel for a silver one if possible? I like the way the Overlord covertech wheel stands out from the black anodizing. Hopefully I get the same for the Bellicose? Doesn't hurt to ask? lol

And it still says it processing BTW...I ordered it Tuesday! I feel like a 5 year old in toy store tugging on Mommy's pant leg...screaming GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE NOW!!!!!

The silver covertec looks good on the Bellicose! I used my Overlord's, but I preferred the silver on the Overlord so I put it back.

I cannot wait to see the silver switch on that Bellicose, my friend! Just waiting for a credit card payment to post, and my next, and final Obsidian order shall be placed. (The silver illuminated switch is already chosen and the whole order is in my cart - yeah, the payment posts and I click order).

So, I'm (im)Patienly waiting for my new credit card payment to post!!!

My Bellicose ordered last Tuesday.

My Sons Standard Issue Battle Saber v3 ordered that Friday night. I usually order on a Friday night. And my order has always shipped the following Monday or Tuesday.

US website didn't say the Bellicose was out of when I made my purchase. And it doesn't say its out of stock right now!! lol

While I am not getting the saber that I ultimately want to build, I did just place my first order for an ultra saber grab bag! I can't wait until it gets here! Gotta be responsible lol can't blow $400 on a saber right now, but I can't hold off on getting my hands on some sort of saber, I am itching for some dueling!

 I'm VERY eagerly awaiting my phantom v3 in blazing red! My all time favorite character in Star Wars is Darth Maul, and I have always been intrigued by the whole idea of a double sided saber. I've grown kind of tired of battling my friends with really long sticks, so I'm super excited! A huge thanks to Ultrasabers for bringing us together!   :D

The May 4th sale made me get more sabers, even though my Consular isn't here yet.

Nabbed myself an Archon 2.1 in CG and a Manticore in SRD, both stunts.

!#*!^$*$^! the DotD's and sales of the last two weeks.  >:( :'( :-* ;D ;D ;D   Was inspired to go slim as my Obsidian collection to date is...not.   :)   At least not compared to the following, which are in various stages of order processing/shipping.  I went with some less obvious blade colours for the Darks...Force-alignment identity crisis.   8)

Dark Liberator, CG with orange FoC and green AV.
Dark Catalyst, SY with silver FoC and yellow AV.
Prophecy, AB with silver FoC and blue AV.

I can't wait to get my hands on my Graflex CE!

My name is Lucas, but I have gone by Luke most of my life and as a result I have been the butt end of a lot of Star Wars jokes. To go along with the jokes I felt like my first saber HAD to be the Graflex with the Gaurdian Blue color, silver FoC, and a silver illuminated AV switch. I am pumped, and can't wait until I get it, even though my wife isn't too happy. She isn't really upset, but she didn't like the price, haha. Now my Father-in-law, and myself are going in together to get my son one as well. We're thinking about getting him the dark initiate in Consular Green (Green is his FAVORITE color) with an orange FoC, or something else that will really stand out.

Post by: DarthJimmer on May 06, 2013, 11:18:17 AM
I know I said it in my intro thread, but for those who didnt read or see...

My first Saber..

Dominix Limited Edition V3
Blazing Red w/ 36" Midgrade Blade
No Sound
Li-Ion w/ BuckPuck
Standard Pommel & Switch

Wants for this saber..

Eventually Sound of course
Possibly one Yari extension w/ Coupler
(I think only one extension, but still with a long blade, would be a really cool saber)
I'd like to have an illumnated red switch installed as well.
Possibly something like a Raven pommel w/ a D-Ring installed
(I love covertech, but I feel like that will bug me while dueling)
I dont think I'd do any custom work to the hilt itself, since this design is already so beautiful.
It would be cool to have an emitter with slots or holes to shine through, not sure if that possiibile with the Dominix though?

It shipped last Thursday after ordering it 3 days before, I havent had an update on the tracker since 6:43 am Friday morning? Did anyone else have a similar experience. And also, how long did everyones take once it shipped? I'm in MD from its from West to East Coast. Btw, This forum is amazing guys. I'm here to stay if you'll have me.

I am in Maryland also.  If you ordered ground, it won't update until it hits arrives at a Maryland location.  If you ordered it last Thursday, it will probably arrive this Thursday.  It is typically one business day per zone and its five zones from California to Maryland.  I usually use the 3-day Select shipping.

Thank you so much, man. I re-checked and its DOES say the estimated date is Thursday. You're on point haha

Hi everyone,

I ordered my first saber ever on Monday can't wait :D
Raven ss edition with rbg and obsidian sound and foc.
On the down side, my wife thinks I'm an idiot for spending so much money on it.
I softened the blow by getting her one too. Initiate v3, silver with disks, no sound but I have the option later if she likes it as much as i do.

Hi everyone,

I ordered my first saber ever on Monday can't wait :D
Raven ss edition with rbg and obsidian sound and foc.
On the down side, my wife thinks I'm an idiot for spending so much money on it.
I softened the blow by getting her one too. Initiate v3, silver with disks, no sound but I have the option later if she likes it as much as i do.
I've been watching youtube videos of the sabers to pass the time.

lol,if she cant beat you she may as well join you,dont fret either of you,you will absolutely love your ULTRASABERS

Just had a call from the FedEx offices at Stansted Airport. My order is due in tonight and should be delivered tomorrow ;D

Funny thing, though. They wanted to get confirmation on exactly what was in the package as the description apprently says 'Bellicose'. Maybe each box is labelled?

I'm glad I didn't order a Malice or an Overlord - they might have decided it was too suspicious to let in the country...


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: DarthJimmer on May 09, 2013, 02:06:02 PM
I actually think Bellicose is worse consdering it literally means "to incite wars". hahah

But yea Malice would mean your package is inflicts harm lol And Overlord would means your package is the Lord of Lords haha But I think if they saw Overlord theyd think it was a costume or something..You dont usually see a package stamped that it incites wars considering the war on terrorism lol Its really not funny, I dont know why I'm laughing

Oh my gosh guys. I'm about to flip my lid. I literally have been looking out my window waiting to see if someones going to arrive with my package. Just in case they wanted to pull the old knock twice and leave, I printed out a pre-signature and put it on my front door as directed. Not to mention, its an indirect signature, so a neighbor or ANYONE can sign. But not only did they not follow any of that, they didnt come at all! But they put it as Customer not available or business closed. They didnt leave a slip or anything on the door, because if they had actually been here, I would have seen then, they would have got my signature slip, or I would have personally signed it. Or the neighbors who are home would have! They literally just deiced to come another day for no reason (I'm guessing they forgot it at the station or were behind?) They literally received my request to pick up at the nearest facility 4 mins after it supposedly happened. Im so angry, after waiting impatiently forever this has put a super damper, and the worst part..I might not even be able to pick it up by closing time because my only ride just went out to dinner...Who knows if they will even drop it off at the facility I asked for, there are four that are close by. ugh. Im so frustrated. I feel like I should report this driver or something.

Drat.

My shipment is sitting in the FedEx facility and won't be sent out until Monday.

Unless I can convince my sister to go pick them up tonight, I have a long weekend ahead of me - it's too far for me to go, especially as they close at 6pm.

Ho hum...

See man? I never had problems with UPS like this haha I have to go pick it up at a local facility today sometime whenever this driver decides to drop it off because there was no way I was letting him lie on me again.

I can't really blame FedEx for delivering when they say they will, rather than when I hope they will :D It's my own daft fault for getting my hopes up, really. For my next order, I think I'll check the tracker no more than once a day - smartphones don't always make things easier.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: DarthJimmer on May 10, 2013, 05:28:01 PM
I can def. blame fedex if you read the problems I myself had though.

But its all good, I just picked up my saber and I cant stop using it. It's so beautiful. Review coming later tonight.

One thing I wanted to mention right away though, I dont know if it's new..or by accident..or what! But as someone who couldnt get sound so they could get an illuminated switch (probably couldnt have afforded just the switch either) My standard switch is Red in the middle circle! It looks sooo good with my Red Blade, that small little difference makes me so happy. I dont know why or who did it, or If I'm just behind on this..but I know the pictures and most of the videos I seen either have it silver or black. I didnt put anything in the comment box either? It's just one of those happy surprised additions for me even if its supposed to happen. It doesnt have a single blemish (I know some people had that problem), The wiring looks PERFECT from what I can see (def. putting THAT on youtube for the haters). I've never swung  a ultrasabers, and the weight is just insanely perfect not too heavy not too light. The balance point is quite literally where the hilt meets the blade! Does anyone know why I got this red switch? is that supposed to happen?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: James Casey on May 10, 2013, 06:43:22 PM
Looking at the RGB Shock someone posted recently, that had the the different colour switches coloured accordingly. Maybe something they've introduced recently without publicising it?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: DarthJimmer on May 10, 2013, 06:47:58 PM
It's awesome if so. Loving it. I could see someone complaining about it thinking they wanted the regular silver, but that is NOT the case for me as you can tell. (see last page)

Well, about an hour ago I got a call from my wife to confirm that FedEx had been!

And dropped off two boxes.

Hmm.

I'm sure I'm just being paranoid, but it's even more frustrating now, wondering if US have just been incredibly efficient with their packaging, or if I'm going to only have half a delivery waiting for me.

I'm sure it's the former (the FedEx tracker said one package weighing 9lbs, which is probably two well-stuffed boxes taped together) but just to prolong my frustration even further I'm in a late meeting this afternoon - the only day this week.

Still, once I do get home...  ;D

My entire box (without sound) was 3 pounds..if that helps.

It's all here. Two boxes, two heavy boxes. My wife and daughters are out shopping so I waited for them but eventually I was overtaken with curiosity. I've not unwrapped the raffle 'sabres yet but my Bellicose works beautifully and I love the pike extension.

More to follow, but for now...  ;D

I receieved my grab bag yesterday.  It was a Dark Standard Issue in BR.  So what did I do?


I logged on immediatly and ordered 2 more!

Overlord/ Sound in DVA with FoC Silver, red avswitch and Nickel plated finish.

Grab Bag saber in SRD.

It took roughly 10 days from order to delivery of my first saber, so I paid for express shipping, hopefully get it sooner!

Addiction is right! I discovered Ultra Sabers in April and bought a Dark Arbiter.
A week later they announce the second spring raffle and I order a LE Phantasm V3 and win an Overlord! ;D (Thanks Ultra Sabers!)
On Friday I should receive an Initiate V2 along with some various parts, and today I ordered a grab bag saber!
The Initiate V2 is a birthday present for my nephew, but the rest are all mine! I think I have a problem! ::)

Indeed, they are addicting. My arsenal of Ultra Sabers began in the beginning of March! I too went with the 2 day shipping, starting with my second purchase. I purchased a Reaper first, and it began. Then, after I would order one, I needed to get them in my hands faster, haha! :D :P Well worth it  :D
My Graflex is sitting at home, just waiting for me to crack it open. I can't wait to get off work, haha.

Best guess - and there's always the chance US are busy, so it could be slower - 2 or 3 working days.

Package weighs 2.5 lbs, estimated arrival Friday. Now I'm trying to determine what it could be based on weight haha don't think I'll be able to... I can't believe this site stayed hidden from me since 2005. Are forum colors common on grab bags? Short of hot pink I don't care really, I'm letting the force decide whether I be sith or jedi based on this saber... And mcnaughtonM thanks for making me feel like less of a pain haha to be 27 and feel like a 12 year old again is awesome!! Point to you

Thanks Locutis, then there is hope for a more unique color! And I can't wait to see these scorpions. In my opinion it looks like a bamf saber! Would love to see it in a purple shade or a SRD... I'm sure we will on Friday!


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Locutis on June 18, 2013, 05:28:36 PM
Any color is going to look good on the Scorpion. I want it as a Sith saber, but I arready have a BR Overlord so I went with FO.

In my personal experience, it is a little lacking in the brightness department when compared to BR, and significantly less bright than the cooler colours (in terms of warmth) such as CG

Literally just put in my order for an Archon! Consular Green (of course) with QD and a BR MLS for when I'm feeling evil. Sound, too, and covertec clip. I can't wait!

I was going to get a Bellicose, but I saw the Archon and fell in love a little bit.

Ordered a Bellicose with Bane's Heart colour (Why can't a Sith use a magenta blade? ;)) with a blue accessory button - that was actually the hardest decision of the saber.
Also a grab bag saber as I couldn't resist, with a HG blade and random colour.

First order from US, couldn't be much more excited!


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Dragon Lancer on July 08, 2013, 08:10:09 PM
"Zetheroth"
Dark Arbiter
Arctic Blue
Heavy Grade standard blade
Dark War Glaive emitter
Two War Glaive Claws for cross-guard
Covertec wheel and clip

 Also waiting to see if I have a winning ticket for the raffle.

Shoulda posted pix of "Raze" by now, but it would look even better with both "Raze" and "Zetheroth" IMO.

Been waiting for a good time to get Zetheroth, and then US shows up with a raffle. With those prizes, who could resist?

Finally bit the bullet and ordered my first US. Now the expected waiting...  8)

Consular w/ Sound & Blue illuminated AV switch
DVA with AS FoC (and quick disconnects for future color options)
UEMG 32" blade
+ Customizations: Archon Pommel & Manticore Emitter

Now to keep my fingers crossed on the raffle as well. If I win it will go a long way to easing the cost "per unit" with the wife.  Not that she has much ground to stand on considering how much she spends on Ren attire. lol

After a purchase of two stunt sabers last year (Aeon V2LE & Dominix V2) last year, my husband and I finally put in an order for our 'real' sabers to coincide with the summer raffle. Can't wait to get them... am really not very patient at all!

He ordered a Raven in Pyrestone Orange, AS FoC, standard claws, non-standard pommel, guarded switch.

I ordered the Scorpion in Arctic Blue with AS FoC, silver illuminated AV switch. The scorpion tends to look like a Sith weapon but I think it could be a Jedi weapon without too much trouble... and I may end up removing the claw. Maybe.

This is my second order and entered for the Raffle =) I really love my first saber (Guardian) when it came to my door step. I showed it to my friends and co workers and they were amazed how awesome Ultrasabers is!

My second saber is,

Archone v2.1 with Adegan Silver with color dics, flash on clash blue, silver illuminated AV switch with sound.  :o

and I'm patiently waiting for it to be shipped ;)

I just ordered my first custom saber, the Scorpion in fire orange with yellow AV switch, red FoC and all the bells and whistles. 
I was never stung by a scorpion but I imagine it burns good, so I went with fire orange.  I can't wait for this thing to arrive. :)

Couldn't afford to drop $250 on the raffle, so I went with a grab bag saber instead, hoping that the force will still be with me.

Post by: Dragon Lancer on July 12, 2013, 03:51:03 PM
Update (because I can, that's why ;D):

My "Zetheroth" AB Dark Arbiter is waiting for me just a mile down the road. Definitely can't wait until my work-day's over.

Me on the Inside: ohboyohboyohboyohboy! ;D

Although it seems that the force decided to make me earn my 'saber (more-so than I already had), because shortly after I ordered it, the dam broke at work and I've been working my @$$ off.

It doesn't get much better!!  For Father's Day/Birthday, my wife got me a grab bag saber to "try things out".  Received a Dark Standard issue in AS......IT ROCKS.  I've been playing with the 3 sets of color discs trying to find my "Sithy Color". (Lee Filters are on order)  But for my anniversary I got to order the Scorpion in AS with obsidian and silver AV switch.....and wouldn't you know, it's the deal of the day, and still in time for the raffle entry!!! So as of a few minutes ago.....I'm (not so) patiently waiting!!

I am also hanging around for the raffle results, hoping for the best but not expecting much.  That way I won't be too disappointed.  Anyway, the Manticore is on my wishlist too.  It's one I want to make a saber staff out of.  That and I eventually want to put together a saber spear with a Dark War Glaive too.
I haven't even gotten my first saber in hand yet.  It's just fun to plan what I want to do.

Nice with the scorpion! And I do have to say the consular is growing on me... Just rewatched episode 1 two nights ago and it's scary how close US got to qui-gons saber. Also Obi-Wans saber is near identical to the guardian! Now looking more closely at those two sabers!

I've been waffling between the Consular, Scorpion (without the hook), and the Overlord.
Consular won, it was DoD last weekend.  Zombie Green blade, yeah I know, I'm an eclectic sci-fi fan...
<refresh>
But I really like the windows by the emitter in the other two....might just have to take it to my friends machine shop.
Ha, already planning mods and I haven't even touched it yet - or any combat saber for that matter.
C'mon, C'mon, it's got to get here, palms are itching.

You could buy the Overlord emitter separately for $30.  Someone who knows more could probably tell you if it would fit the Consular.

The Overlord emitter will indeed fit the Consular, as will any MHS compatible emitter.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: ZombieWrangler on July 16, 2013, 05:36:35 PM
I did see that it was MHS compatible.  Another awesome tidbit of information I learned from reading forum posts...

But I can't order the alt emitter now, Since I didn't win, I figured fighting would be kinda boring - so I Just ordered my second 'grab bag' saber for the boy...I'll let the force choose his destiny.

Now, 48hs in, I'm already in for two, it's like crack....

I apparently don't have the temperament to Not Know what I'm getting from my raffle win. I'm already calculating odds on the likelihoods of what I might or might not get in my GrabBag. And I'm not likely to receive it (or the other two sabres I ordered) for at least a week!

Note to self: Never order a grab bag.

I find the mystery of not knowing what's coming in to be pretty cool myself.  I'm happy about my win (and I'm happy for everyone that won, and even for the others who entered because they are stilling getting the awesome sabers they bought!) I just hope mine is a non clawed hilt with any color blade besides silver, I don't get into silver or the clawed hilts much but anything else is fair game to me!  I'm really excited and very grateful to the US crew for doing these raffles, and they do more than one a year, this is like the third one they have done this year!

agreed
was worse for me, I found out before I went to sleep last night (that's different time zones for ya) and so it took ages to get to sleep coz I was too busy wondering what I won!!

me I don't care what it is, I'm just stoked I won one! If by some chance its the same as I already have I am so ordering a coupler and a couple of grab bag blades to make a staff  8)

I think that they have been getting a lot of business this past year and really increasing the number of repeat buyers, one could assume that the more the business grows the more frequent and amount of winners will go up... It's a good time to be a fan of Ultrasabers!!! Can't believe it all started in his garage building for his kids!!! Keep up the good work Ultra!!! We're all behind you!

B1ondeange1: Ditto! If I get the same blade as I already have, definitely using my points to buy a coupler (aaaand maybe a Yari hehe)

Most of the claws are removable aren't they?  I kind of agree on the silver blade though.  I think it might be cool to try once, but I generally prefer some color. 


Just got my shipment notification, so by Saturday I should have 3 shiny new sabers. :D
I can't wait to see how beastly the Scorpion is in-hand.

I've mentioned before that I'm actually very fond of the scorpion, I love it's design.....except for the claw.  It looks out of place to me.  I'm more of a "light side" saber user, my blades tend to want to be in the blue/green/ violet area and that claw just throws the scorpion off to me.  now if I could get a tweaked emitter that didn't have the claw but instead had the window on both sides I would jump on it.

I just realized that both sabers that I've purchased are long and thick(ish)....I hope my raffle is slender, like a Reaper or something. :)

My situation:

My saber is supposed to arrive tomorrow.
I work until the evening tomorrow.
I have to be back at work early in the morning the next day.
I have an event to run on Saturday, which is supposed to go quite late.
On Sunday, I have both church and an organization meeting to attend.
On Monday, my work week begins again.

I think it's safe to say that I will probably pull an all-nighter Friday and/or Saturday night(s).

I have a 5lb package on its way from Oakland (to Philly, presumably).

I'm guessing that has my staff and raffle prize all together. Due to arrive next Tuesday, but it was a day early last time so who knows?

My Consular's original delivery date was Saturday, but that has been bumped to next Tuesday, which means Wednesday since I can't sign for it in person.  :'(
It weighs less than my Scorpion shipment so I don't know my raffle prize is in there or not.

Mine is 7lbs, so I'm guessing it's both the Scorpion and the raffle prize. Also due to arrive next Tuesday.

I gotta say, I'm just as excited/pumped about this shipment, as I was the Overlord, if not More so! :)

I dreamed about Lightsabers again last night. 
This time they had great big blocky aluminum heatsinks on the emitters.

Please Mr. Fed Ex, make it to my office tomorrow...it's so hard to fight off the Night Mares with these imitations in my dreams.
I need to get one into my hot little hands so my body knows the feel and weight of a real Ultra Saber and I can kick buttowski in my sleep.

OK, actually, I have huge Meaty paws but either way... c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon  I want it NOW!!!

I um. I can't read to that without giggling. I think I just lost 15 years and reverted back to 13. Woops.

Anyway - I have an Aeon which is quite long with a good choke point and the thinner body. A friend got a Belicose with a HG blade and wow, what a difference. It's about the same length but definitely wider. I could handle it two handed but spinning with that weight would take a lot of getting used to.

To help everyone out, if your expecting a pkg that requires a signature
and you know you wont be home, just leave a note saying "I authorise
FedEx to leave my pkg" sign it. They will take the note and leave the pkg.
If you want it delivered to a different address call FedEx @ 1800-GO-FEDEX
you'll need the tracking numbers when you call them.

I hope this helps everyone.

Two boxes taped together to make one package.

That's what I thought at first, but my Scorpion packaged weighed 4 lbs my Consular package only weighs 3.  I know the Scorp is big and heavy but I can't see two other sabers weighing less than it.  Still, I am hopeful they were shipped together.

"Forum" colors and how to order them. (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0) should help!

That's what I thought at first, but my Scorpion packaged weighed 4 lbs my Consular package only weighs 3.  I know the Scorp is big and heavy but I can't see two other sabers weighing less than it.  Still, I am hopeful they were shipped together.


Mine weighs 5lbs... but I ordered a staff and a spare pommel, so that might just be the order itself.

I won't mind at all if it takes a few days longer for my prize to ship out - although I think I may break the FedEx website checking for updates every few minutes  ;D

After shipping on Wednesday, my shipment got to Stansted airport at 5pm local time. I don't think FedEx does much with weekday shipments over the weekend... but I'm hopeful I might have them Monday, and no later than Tuesday. Looking forward to it!

They are Forum exclusive colors. If you search for the colors, you'll find some threads with pictures of them.

The way you order them is buy a premium color (One that costs additional $5)...in the comments of your order, you say, that you want BH color and that's what you'll get.

FedEx Home Delivery works Tuesday through Saturday.
FedEx Ground works Monday through Friday.
I'm not sure about FedEx Express, they are like a different company.
Just remember that no matter which shipping option you chose these
do require an indirect signature. A note on the door will do just fine.
I have a few customers on my route that tell me to just leave the pkg
and sign for them.


I too am waiting on an order.
2 Dominix v2 RGB
Dark War Glaive RGB
Oh and the initiate. I'm giving it to my friends son. Hes a good kid.
I picture him as a Jedi with an Initiate v2 LE with a blue blade. *wink wink*

put it in a bag to keep it dry. (if the weather man calls for rain anyway)

Don't know if I can handle it being that close and still having to wait til Thursday... It's a grab bag in GB. Anyone know if they sometimes surprise deliver early, like two days early? If it leave there today it should get to the closest hub today as well and then be out for delivery tomorrow, if the saber gods are with me!

Mine says it will be here tomorrow, it's my prize saber so I'm REALLY curious about what it is.  I'll have to do another review.

Aurick, you could try ringing and see if you can go collect it. I could've when mine got stuck over a weekend, but I didn't have time unfortunately.

At times I really hate my job, being a FedEx driver I get to deliver my sabers to myself  :P
At first I thought it was awesome. Let me tell you the downside. I load my truck in th morning
I start at 6am, and my sabers ride with me all day long. Two feet away from me but I cant touch
them until I get home. Which is usually 6pm. I open them up at the terminal to check the order
make sure everything is ok (and show them off) then they go back in the box until I get home.

Unless I stop at this one house. A little kid maybe 10 years old, really big into star wars. I've
dueled with him a couple times for about 10-15 minutes. He wants an Ultrasaber. Who doesnt?
Anyway sabers due in tomorrow. I'm about to take a few sleeping pills so I can get the night
over with.

Patiently waiting on;
Dark War Glaive-RGB
2 Dominix v2-RGB   The ultimate staff ;D
and an Initiate

WOOOHOOOO, My 3 RGB's came yesterday. sorry I havent had time to post pics.
I'll post them soon in the gallery.

In a recent post I said I wanted to give my Free Initiate to my friends son. I can picture
him being a Jedi, so I hope the free Initiate is the Initiate LE v2 with a blue blade. Well
the saber gods must have seen that post because I got the Initiate LE v2 with a green
blade. Its not blue but its Jedi all the way.

Got my ship out notice yesterday on my Archon and VA grab bag saber.  Today it looks like it's going out of the San Jose facility and I should be getting it Tuesday!

I couldn't say whether white or black would be better because I've never done pictures or videos of my own because these are my first sabers, but I am thinking wood may not be good because depending on the polish, it can have reflective properties that may come back at the camera.  From the videos I've seen, white I think tends to take the color and carry it along the background and become that color.  Black tends to absorb the color and make the blade stand out in my opinion.  Again, this is all just what I have observed.

Mine still hasn't shipped yet, kind of surprised, my first two went out within 24 hours of being ordered, so either they are really backed up with orders or they are having to get in some 32" blades I requested.

Just ordered a Scorpion too, so now I have two orders coming.

Well, my order on Wednesday included a grab bag with a 32" blade and I got the shipping notice Thursday.  So either they're backed up or out of something, or your order had something more complex in it that took more time.

Figures, mine hasn't shipped yet either.....Maybe they're holding off on all shipments till the raffle drawing, so they can package together?

They might do that if you ordered it on Friday or over the weekend, but if you ordered before that I would imagine it should have already at least been processed for shipping.  I would imagine there should be a lot of shipping updates today.

This is what I figured as well.  Either that or it's because I asked for 32" blades and they had to get/make some more.  Looks like I have three sabers on the way, the two a bought and my second prize saber!

Had not thought of that, but it would make sense.

So after finding this site just over a week ago I'm currently waiting for a Guardian in GB with VA FoC, a Archon in CG with AS FoC and a mystery saber thanks to the raffle :D

Now need to let my poor wallet rest up a little before I buy any more ;)

Congrats man, good to see your name on that winning list again!  I think I've spent like around a $1000 or 1100, I haven't done the math.  My poor wallet's recovering.  I drive a 2012 mustang as well, so that car note puts a dent in it too.

And they came today!  Woohoo!  I unboxed them right there in the office and was playing with them and all my co-workers were staring at the light and noise, lol!  Also, my grab bag ended up being a Dark Liberator V3 in VA.  She is quite happy with her present and loves the look of the saber, especially the black finish and the vented emitter.  Of course now she wants another of the same, this time with sound and FoC.  Of course it would be on the DotD right now when I have no money to get a second one all decked out.    :P

Yeah, I have been pretty excited.  I decided to go with the Red Illuminated Switch because to me it seems to give it a more of a true button feel to it as far as looks are concerned.  I was torn between the non -illuminated but decided to go with the Red switch to match the red button at the top of the hilt.. I was going to go for Gold or Chrome button with non illuminated but I think I will like the color contrast with the red on silver / black

I went and bought a Bellicose without sound for the 15% off everything sale.  I had about 614 reward points saved up which resulted in a $30 price reduction which tremendously helped a lot.  I guess all those Grab-Bag purchases and Video-Review Reward came in handy after all.  8)
I purchased it with the original intention of getting one that would have Fire Orange. until I decided I wanted Pyrestone Orange.  It was only then that I remembered that I had an Adegan Silver MLS Unit and Lee Filters which allowed me to make a sort of off-shoot of the PO color.  With that said, I made sure to get Quick Disconnect to insert either my CG or AS MLS Unit should I wish it, but I ultimately decided on Violet Amethyst as the primary color.  This was a weird decision to me as it's a color that I severely lack in my arsenal but also one that I tend to be the least enthusiastic about; but everyone I talk to or that plays with my sabers mentions how they wish I had a "Purple Lightsaber".

I personally requested in the comments for Ultrasabers to see if they could install the Covertec Wheel on the "right" side as opposed to the "left", much like my Bane as I would imagine that it would be a lot more comfortable to hold with the wheel fitted underneath or in between my fingers, again just like my Bane.
I sure hope that this request goes through, but I'm sure I can live without it regardless or try to adapt to it, it just would be really nice, however.  I have a feeling Ultrasabers made the original decision to put it on the "left" side of the saber when it was released for a reason; for what I cannot comprehend however.  :-\

Anyway, I'm really excited for this saber.  I will most likely send it back someday to have sound and FoC installed as well as maybe an AV Switch if possible as I really want this saber to be MY saber, particularly in it having either PO or FO.  I always found this saber design to call out to me but I also found it to look the best in the orange colors, for some reason that I cannot explain.  :)

As I was writing this I just realized that I purchased another Ultrasaber last night, a design that I've wanted for oh so terribly long.  I am seriously impatiently waiting now, haha!  ;D

Probably something to do with 3/4s of people being right handed, at a guess. The wheel sits nicely for me (being right handed) as I hold the 'sabre two-handed.

The Bellicose is a tremendous lightsabre, and you won't be disappointed with it. The long-term plans sound great, but I really think you'll love it even 'as is' - I know that even if I had the money, I think I'd keep my Bellicose as it is (I do have sound, though) even though things like the AV switch are growing on me.

I decided to order a new Saber during the 15% off sale even though I literally just purchased a Sentinel Yellow Standard Issue, so I ordered the Saber of my dreams last night - the Shock LE. It was originally going to be my first Saber, but I decided last minute to get the Initiate V3 LE instead, and since I recently reallised i was a purple nut, i got Violet Amethyst. Though I nearly got Bane's Heart instead... Which I wish I had done that... Oh well, it already shipped  :-\ but I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got my favorite Saber  :o unfortunately, I didn't get sound... Li-ion setup... None of the really cool options. But still, I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!

Molina, you distract him, I'll get the tranquillizers. :p

Glad to see you so excited about your sabers.

No! I don't need tranquilizers! I would like to be awake during my 16th birthday. (Guess the Shock LE was a Bday gift for myself  ::))
And who wouldn't be exited about getting the US they've always wanted?

Probably something to do with 3/4s of people being right handed, at a guess. The wheel sits nicely for me (being right handed) as I hold the 'sabre two-handed.

The Bellicose is a tremendous lightsabre, and you won't be disappointed with it. The long-term plans sound great, but I really think you'll love it even 'as is' - I know that even if I had the money, I think I'd keep my Bellicose as it is (I do have sound, though) even though things like the AV switch are growing on me.

I'm actually a bit confused as to your explanation.  The covertec wheel shows itself being on the left side, which means that [assuming you're right handed] you can either hold your left hand below, above, or on top of the covertec wheel.  I have found that holding my left hand above the covertec wheel to be extremely uncomfortable, with the exception of the Bane which has it on the opposite ["right"] side of where the Bellicose's covertec wheel is.
I tried to imagine myself holding the Bellicose below or above the wheel, as viewed in the short video Ultra provides, but to no avail, the covertec wheel looks like it's in an awkward position, but namely for right-handed people.

So in a way, my request is actually better for right-handed wielders because now I can wrap my hands around where the Covertec Wheel is but have it so the wheel is where my fingers are, not the palm of my hand.

Other than that, I am indeed looking forward to it.  There's something about its design that looks so comfortable, almost like it's a "sister saber" to the Bane or something.  They both came out relatively the same time and they both share similar designs and come with their own covertec wheels, pommels, and selective grips.  :)

YES!  Only 3 hrs after posting saying that it was 2 hrs away - I now have my Guardian!  Will post pics later - but so impressed with the shipping!

As for the saber?  Well - what do you expect with Ultrasabers?  It's astonishing!  Although I had to put it away after 2 mins as my boss was giving me strange looks, I will have a better look this evening!

The only thing I did not was the coloured guarded switch on it.  I went with no sound and was expecting to see the black switch like on the website, however my switch is blue (which I figure to match the blade) - just wondered if this was standard now?

The colored switches have been showing up on grab bags so it must be something US is doing now for stunt sabers.

The black switches only come on sabers with sound if you don't request an a/v switch be added instead.

Aerthias, congratulations on getting the saber of your dreams.  You can probably send it in later on to have sound added if you wanted.

It will be worth it.  I've still not managed to have a good play about with it yet but it just oozes quality.  Gonna get home, change the batteries and just admire this thing after work!

I hope you save up soon mate - I'm sure it would be awesome with sound!

Hmm, I'm not sure what to tell you. For me, the only issue with the covertec wheel is that it sits slightly higher on the hilt then I'd like - I'd prefer to have it down closer to the pommel.

It may just be a difference in the way I hold it to how you imagine you'll hold it, of course - I may just unconsciously twist it around to avoid the wheel, in which case you could be right! I'll have to play around with my Bellicose tonight and see. Not a hardship, exactly...  ;D

Hi folks.

I haven't been here for a while, but have just ordered another 4 sabers:

Initiate LE v3 with sound, guardian blue - ultraedge, standard switch.
Consular with sound, consular green - ultraedge, green AV switch.
Dark Shock with sound, DVA - mid grade, red AV switch.
Shock LE with sound, violet amethyst - ultraedge, blue AV switch.

Unfortunately I don't get to keep the top two, they're for my nephew and my big bro  :(

it's a stunt prophecy v3 in BR HG with Buckpuck and recharge port. Bought it mainly for dueling but maybe I made a mistake... haeavygrade 36" with a short hilt as the prophecy's one, it will be bad balanced... i hope not too  :-\

You should be ok.  If you really don't like the balance, you can always cut a portion off the blade to bring the point of balance back farther, which makes the weapon feel lighter somewhat.

I am waiting for a very special saber, a dark initiate LE V2 in FO for my son who is in the hospital right now with a weak heart. Can't wait to see the look on his face when I give it to him! I'll post a special review when we get it in on Friday!

Just placed my order for 2 new sabers to add to my collection :)
Prophecy v3 in Sentinel Yellow with silver FoC and a Bellicose in Arctic Blue with silver FoC :)
My Manticore came back today as I was having FoC added to it!!!

I'm so excited to see them both. I'm going to have to figure out a way to display them all!!

Ugh, too bad. My last delivery showed up early, but the one before that was sat at the local depot for three days over the weekend and the wait can seem interminable.

Just received my two Aeon v3 LE today ;D It's just awesome..even with the black switch, which doesn't really fit to the saber - an AV switch would make it better. But I didn't order it 'cause on the pictures it looked okay for me ^^ Now I'm thinking about attaching it in the good old DIY style. Any thoughts and hints about this?

Hate to double post, but my latest order is on its way :) I took advantage of the sale and a lot of reward points to get an Emerald Green MLS unit with Adegan Silver flash and 3 x sets of quick disconnects to install in my sound-equipped 'sabres.

Time to buy me a soldering iron!

I was going to take advantage of the sale, but I forgot to apply the discount code.  I had a lot of rewards points so I didn't spend much anyway, but I've got a grab bag and some electronics to build a PVC saber coming.  It will be my first custom build.

sorry when I posted I was so busy i forgot to add the specs. So I'll give you guys all the specs now.
Guardian w sound, guardian blue, blue illuminated AV switch VA foc, no recharge port :( the covertec, and a blade plug, for me  :)
Initiate v3 with sound, in CG, with a pommel vented for sound, and a blade plug, for my kid brother. He'll be tickled pink :)
Prophecy v3 with sound, in CG, with a pommel vented for sound, blade plug, and covertec, for my other brother. ;)

That's going to be a great haul, even if only one of them is yours.  I wouldn't be sad over not getting a recharge port.  It's usually a simple matter to pop the batteries out and put them on the charger.

Post by: Spike311 on September 18, 2013, 10:21:02 PM
Just ordered my very 1st Ultra Saber mins ago. Originally I planned to get the Shock SE, which I still plan to get at a later date. When I saw the Manticore was back in stock it was an instant no brainer for me.

Manticore with high profile pommel
Guardian Blue with Silver FoC
UEHG blade
Obsidian sound with blue AV switch

Can NOT wait to get my hands on this bad boy! I seriously haven't been this excited since ROTS hit the theaters in May 05. The next few days I expect to get little sleep in anticipation of my new arrival. Picture, video and review to come once I have the Manticore in hand. This is sooooo awesome!!!!! :)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: James Casey on September 18, 2013, 10:24:54 PM
Great choice, Spike! The Manticore is a great 'sabre to wield, and in my opinion the high-profile pommel really completes it perfectly.

Congratulations on your purchase as well! Very nice choice as the emerald green has a really nice color from what I've seen. It's just different enough from the CG. Please post pictures/video when you get it up and running.

Definitely!

My parcel is sitting at Stansted airport right now, having come via Memphis this time - they've always come through Indianapolis before.

Sadly, FedEx only does weekday delivery, but I'm hoping there'll be a space for it in the truck on Monday, and it'll be here early.

Well, I still need my soldering iron, but hey, maybe that'll be in tomorrow's post!

I know my sabers have gone from San Jose CA to Memphis TN to Denver CO to Cheyenne WY then they may or may not be trucked into Laramie on Monday, their supposed delivery date. I'm not sure if FedEx delivers here on Monday since they only have a small post made for pick-ups.

@Pyrateknight....You are going to LOVE the Dark Monarch!  I got to pick one of these up at DragonCon this year and very happy with it.  It is a most unique saber in that it has alot of shapely curved surfaces.  This is saber is perfect if you have large hands as well.  Enjoy and it will be there before you know it!  EXCELLENT choice!

Cheers

PS since you are going with the Dark Monarch I am assuming Dark Points would be appropriate....Point awarded

These are my first sabers but I decided to go all out (not to mention it's no fun to only have one, who would you duel with??), and especially since I've been looking all around at reviews and this forum for a while, I am totally sold on US, I hope I have no regrets (so far none but they aren't in my hand yet >.<)!

I have a Manticore and it is a great saber.  Mine is in VA and the light shining through emitter windows looks really cool.  The shock also looks interesting, I'm going to have to get one of the variants of it one day.  Here's a video review of my Manticore if you are interested in hearing my in-depth thoughts on the magnificent hilt.

I just bought a Grab-Bag saber and a Grab-Bag Mid-Grade blade for a friend of mine at my Star Wars Lightsaber Group in OCSWS.  :)
I convinced him to buy from Ultrasabers as opposed to purchasing a $100 Force FX Anakin from Craigslist, which he was just about to do; so he gave me cash and I went ahead and bought it.  8)

I'm really excited for him.
I'm sure no matter what it's going to be awesome and he will be impressed either way, but I do hope that the saber is unique like a Prophecy, Aeon/Dominix V3, Liberator, or Standard Issue especially.  He's a big guy and I could see him with a Standard Issue.
Then again, at the same time, I'll be somewhat [happily] annoyed if he gets an insanely awesome hilt like a Bellicose, Overlord, or Shock.  :D

Waiting on the shipping notification of my highly anticipated Manticore.  With the 2 day shipping I'm hoping to have it by the weekend.  ;D

I'm so waiting to see that Manticore in Sentinel Yellow!

Just got confirmation of my order shipping.  I figured they would wait until after the raffle in case I won anything they could just ship them together.  But I do have three sabres coming in my order so maybe a fourth one wouldn't have fit in the box :P  Looking forward to getting them in and still hoping for a raffle prize!

I'm still waiting on mine to ship, and I ordered last Monday. 
At this point I am assuming they are holding off shipping until after the raffle, but that hasn't been the case in the previous two raffles I have entered.

Regardless, good luck.  How cool would it be if we both won prizes in each of the same 3 raffles?  8)

I figured they would wait until after the raffle since it ends so soon, but apparently mine shipped this morning.  And yeah it would be totally awesome if we both won again!  *Fingers crossed*!

It took everything in me, but I finally went ahead and took the plunge on the Autumn Raffle.

I ultimately went with 4 Yari [Pike] Extensions, 1 Grab-Bag with Ultraedge, 1 Grab-Bag blade, a blade tip, an Li-ion cell, and some color discs.

I'm just glad to finally get this out of the way.  I felt like it was just invading my train of thought.
Now I can finally get back to work...
...

... And get really impatient for my order to arrive!  :D

I'm waiting for my RGB Bellicose to arrive. Its my first ultrasaber so i'm super excited. Its been shipped, due to arrive on Monday. Also added enough extras to get the free initiate which i'm giving to my son, so there will be plenty of duels in our house. I'm hoping its included in the same package as it seems to of disappeared from my order online. Iv still got the original email with it on so i know it was definently on there. Hopefully its just the website!  Has anyone else had this problem?

I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not on my order either, but I assume that's because it's entered as a voucher/code rather than an item being purchased.

*

As for my order...

Crimson Reaper
- Sentinel Yellow blade
- Orange flash on clash
- Obsidian sound
- Orange AV switch (My first! I wanted this one tricked out, and it just seemed wrong to have a black switch on this hilt, anyway; When I get the matching Reaper, hopefully next year, it'll have a red blade with orange flash and orange AV switch to match this one)
- Mid-grade blade
- Wrench and blade plug

Grab bag
- Random colour
- Heavy grade blade
- Covertec wheel

2 li-ion batteries, because it's strangely difficult to get these over here

And, of course, a free Initiate! My eldest daughter will have this for Christmas... assuming I can keep it from her that long :D

Time to fire up the FedEx website and start hitting refresh ;D

I just rechecked FedEx and its landed at stansted airport!! I'm thinking about driving there and banging on the door! Lol.
Thats good that its not just me!

My order is a...
Bellicose with sound
RGB
Silver flash on clash
Lithium ion setup
Recharge port with fast charger
Heavygrade blade
Black blade holder
Red button
Long groove pommel
Silver illuminated av switch

And free initiate!

I like the sound of your reaper, i can see how this site gets so addictive. My saber hasn't even arrived yet and i'm already eyeing up others!

Done it...just ordered a Manticore in DVA, Sound and red AV switch...I actually wanted to wait some time, but the deals are so attractive (and the costs would have exploded if I ordered it after the deals)...another 400 € spent - that will definitely be my last order for a very long time  :(.

Mine's due on the 31st as well, although it's been logged as 'in transit' in Memphis for the last 24 hours... My last order that went through Memphis was in the air about an hour later, but that was a much smaller package, so maybe that's why. I'm sure FedEx will still hit their target, but I admit to thinking it might make it by tomorrow when I saw it in Memphis yesterday. That would have been some kind of record, I think.

I wish it would work for me as well...but living in Europe doesn't make things that easy ^^ Fortunately there developed the option of air mail in recent decades...imagine it would literally ship xD Most of European customers would die because of yearning, I think


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: James Casey on October 28, 2013, 09:04:43 PM
Well, look at it this way - air mail arrived before the internet, or otherwise you'd be buying from a catalogue, assuming you could get a catalogue where you are, and you were willing to trust your money to make it back to the US... But maybe it'd take so long you'd forget about it in the meantime :D

I was reading Bill Bryson's book At Home and he talks about how Thomas Jefferson had to order so much for his house from Europe when that meant months of waiting - even for things like windows, tables and chairs. He ordered a dining room set and ended up with matching tables and chairs... except for one chair, which was completely different to the others. Dispiriting, to say the least. As for shipping in glass across 4,000 miles of Atlantic Ocean and unpaved roads... Well, one imagines that the order took a few attempts to fulfill.

Anyway, my parcel has arrived at Stansted and been cleared by customs. Tomorrow, perhaps, it'll be here...


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Racona Nova on October 29, 2013, 09:03:15 AM
Well, looking at it this way - I have to agree with you :D
I'm still stuck in transit in Memphis...but I think that's because there was a Sunday in between and it continued travelling only yesterday ^^ Next updates will surely be "Arrived at FedEx location Koeln, DE" and "At local FedEx facility Nuernberg, DE" either today or tomorrow...and then it's only an hour away :)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: James Casey on October 29, 2013, 12:18:53 PM
It's here! Two days early, too - FedEx, I'm impressed! Cut down on the 36 hour layover in Memphis next time, and maybe we can do it even quicker? ;D Next time I'll try ordering on a Monday and see if I can get it by week's end. That would be amazing.

Just the four hours until I can go home...  :-\

Post by: Molina00 on November 04, 2013, 09:03:40 PM
I got silver flash on my first one so there will be a bit of uniqueness between the two. 

DVA does sound like a great color for the Manticore too.  I think it is one of those sabers that would look good in any color, except maybe Hot Pink.   :P

My very first saber from this company should be arriving on Friday and I ordered the Chrimson Reaper in Pyrestone Orange with an Orange FoC and Orange A/V switch. I cannot wait for a good blade to use, I thought it was time to finally throw a lot of money onto a saber so I can duel at conventions and have fun with my friend who also ordered his first blade from here :)

My current sabers I was using for conventions are the Anakin Master Replica, Master Replicas build your own lightsaber and recently brought the Maul Hasbro ones. I was always too scared to touch another saber with the anakin one as I had a great fear of popping an LED and creating a black spot which I have managed to avoid since 2006! :) Looks like I seemed to of rambled on hehe.

Nice saber that you ordered. BR will surely look amazing on the Bellicose! The only thing I wouldn't have done is ordering a Kill Key ;) Instead I would have spent the money on a 1.2 Fast Charger without Kill Key, that's a bit cheaper and you don't have to wait so long for recharging your saber ^^

Just order two shiny new sabers I've had my eyes on for weeks:

-Dark Prophecy - EG
-Raven - BR

First time for each colour, and both as stunts (Not a massive fan of sound, and I'd rather get 2 sabers than 1 with sound ;P)

EDIT: Also a 16" blade so I can mess around with them with less risk of hitting anything in a confined space (And hopefully never to hit myself in the face again)

Now patiently waiting for my new Emerald equipped Graflex CE with sound.  8)
Ordered yesterday and just got my shipping notice a couple of mintues ago.

I know, I'm a sucker for a discount code.  ::)
Thanks to that 15% it ends up being cheaper than my Scorpion though.
If I was married I'm pretty sure my wife would kill me, unless she ended up being a saber addict too.

I ordered my very first saber yesterday, Been meaning to do for a while yet never did so until yesterday.

I ordered a Aeon V3 in Blazing red, with intent on modifying it to make a fallen Jedi's saber i'm not quite sure yet. Cant wait to get it, shipping seem to be moving quickly, i got the pickup notice in about 3 hours after i placed the order.

I finally pulled the trigger! I am finally joining the Prophecy family!!  ;D

I have been eyeing this bad boy for awhile, and with everybody doing nothing but rave about it, I knew I couldn't go wrong. I have to say, with the Overlord becoming available for DotD, I was very tempted to go for that.
Even though it would have been a little cheaper, I still had to land this one.

Also, the Guardian pommel. That is going to be a sweet addition for my collection. I already own a Scorpion, and just love adding the pommel to my Reaper. I did order the MHS version, so it should line up with the hilt now, instead of the lip that is created, with the (Guardian Replacement/Scorpion) pommel.

Thanks JediJosh. I liked your demo of it. Definitely a cool idea.

Sounds great Ryga!  Looking forward to seeing the emerald Dark Prophecy. I love my Prophecy and am looking forward to getting a dark one when the next raffle rolls around.


Thanks Prowl! I was considering on waiting for a raffle to come around too, but I think that will be in March. Unfortunately (or fortunately  :P), the saber bug bit me, so I had to do it. Especially with the deals on FoC and RP's on sale. I was just hoping to see it go for DotD. But since I saw that it wouldn't be, I just went for it!  :P ;D

I have to say, your review, was one of the few, that heavily weighed in on my decision. Thanks a bunch!

Hello SaberForum!! Been a while since I posted I've been dealing with my sons health issues, he's doing better luckily! Anywho on to my post...

So I'm very excited to say that I've ordered my first obsidian saber!! I'm getting an Archon V2.1 with CG mid grade blade, orange FoC, and a green av switch!!! I can't wait to get this saber! I've been eyeing the Archon for some time and when I saw it was on deal of the day I knew the timing was right. I ordered early this morning and it has already shipped as of 4pm!!! That's the quickest turnaround ever for me! Also I've had the pleasure of getting a dark initiate v3 LE for my oldest daughter in CG. My youngest daughter is getting an initiate v2 in SRD. They have already arrived but the girls have no clue they're getting them! Every time they leave the house I pull them out of the boxes and swing them around a bit, must say that the initiate with a 32" blade is the perfect balance for those sabers! I'll review all 3 after Christmas! Happy sabering and MTFBWY!!

Hey, saber forum! I know this isn't exactly relevant to the topic at hand, but I've been trying to scrape together the money to get a basic Initiate V3 (With sound, since sound is basically the icing on the cake for me.) with an Arctic Blue blade, and the standard 32" heavy grade blade. There's a few more options, but my internet is unusually slow currently, so I can't reach the Ultra Sabers store. Hopefully my internet will sort itself soon enough so I can place the order before Christmas! Been dying to get it, hope you guys are having fun with your sabers!

Nice choice. I got exactly this (without sound) as my free initiate in the Cyber monday deals, and I was genuinly surprised how good a hilt it is. it's got a nice feel, the blade colour's cool, and the Initiate blade is quite good for swinging about indoors without hitting things.

good luck with your internet and such, I hope you get the hilt you want.

Hello,
last week I ordered myself a blazing red dark standard issue battle saber v3 with the clip and wheel
 But the big part of my order was a gift for my girlfriend

A prophecy v3 in Violet amethyst I got it soundless but I got the lith-ion battery set up and a charger port with the heavy duty wall charger. So when she's not using it she can keep it on as a night light.

She participates in a weekly light saber fight group that puts on shows for people. currently she is using a 40 inch long piece of CPVC and had mentioned to me when I went to the group that she wanted one but Couldn't justify spending the money on it. I asked her a couple questions about it and got the basic gist of what she would want from a light saber. This was four months ago she still using the CPVC and has no idea I bought her the saber I'm expecting her to fully freak out and it to be one of the best presents she has ever gotten! The Sabres both come in the mail tomorrow and I will be posting a review from my saber within a day or two of receiving it! I can't wait! It will be my first saber so as you can imagine I am super excited. I have plans to buy at least four or five more and the next one I get will be an identical saber to the dark issue I plan to buy the coupler and use them as a staff.

The Sabres both come in the mail tomorrow and I will be posting a review from my saber within a day or two of receiving it! I can't wait! It will be my first saber so as you can imagine I am super excited. I have plans to buy at least four or five more and the next one I get will be an identical saber to the dark issue I plan to buy the coupler and use them as a staff.



I have to say, that's possibly the coolest present I can think of. :) Good job. ;D

I was torn between the Dark Shock or the Manticore. I was trying to figure what the Dark War Glaive Emitter would look best on and decided to go with the Dark Shock with the emitter having silver claws to go with the silver grooves on the Shock. IT LOOKS PERFECT! Any one who is thinking of getting a Dark Shock DO IT! Well balanced and easy to one hand wield. Since buying it I have made a wish list of all the other sabers now I have to get.

Just pulled the trigger on a custom build order:
Consular pommel and emitter
Dark Shock body
Li-Ion batteries, holder and BuckPuck
Guarded latching switch
Two 32" midgrade blades
And two MLS units, CG for the custom, BR for my beloved Bellicose. I realize now that these are Christmas colors ;D

I just bought me an Arctic Blue Overlord last night finally so I'm waiting on the word for that. Its a stunt saber but I got it with a regular Heavy blade. Its my first Arctic Blue saber and I finally have one of the coolest sabers in the line up. Im super excited about this one. I know I just got the saber last night but I want it to ship now. :P I'm glad I did the ship before Christmas guarantee deal. Well, early enough anyway. I'll keep updates.

Gah due to weather and bull stuff my package is 2 days late and is siting 20min away from my house but I can't go and get it. I hate fed ex. The distribution center doesn't have a way for me to go there and pick up my package so now I have to sit here and wait. It's been sitting on shelf in this distribution center since Sunday.

I HATE fed ex...

Didn't really think about that. Might ship later tonight even. Usually only takes two and a half days for my orders. It is a brand new Overlord though so maybe US is still making sure everything is good. Forgot brand new sabers takes longer than say a Grab Bag order. Plus the tons of Christmas orders going on right now as well like you said. I'll keep updates though.

Sigh...I was trying hard to fight the urge to take advantage of these awesome sales, but the only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. :P

I love my Prophecy in BH so much, as some of you know from my review of it.  I knew I wanted another one or a Dark Prophecy next.  I missed out on the awesome deal on the dark one so I went with the awesome DotD on the Prophecy, this time in GB. I love the Prophecy hilt.

Prophecy v3 with Sound
[Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue]
[Flash on Clash:No Flash]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries & Universal Charger Included)]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Blade Option:Mid Grade]
[Pommel:Regular Vented Pommel (hole in bottom)]
[Sound:Yes, Obisidian USB Sound w/ Blue Illuminated Switch!]
[Blade Tip:Round Tip]

I also got three grab bag sabers, two with Mid Grade blades and one with an Ultra Edge blade.  One of them will be a late Christmas present for a friend, he likes my sabers but can't really afford one,  so I thought this would be a nice gift and was one of the factors that ultimately pushed me to take advantage of the deals going on right now.  I requested that one grab bag saber be sent separate from the others so he can have the honor of unboxing his first saber himself. I also managed to just squeak by and have a high enough totol at $400.48 to get the free saber as well!  

I'm excited! :P

Yeah, I'm addicted and I know it.  I currently have the Monarch on ebay.  I normally work two jobs but left one of them recently so I put the saber up for some extra money to support my saber habit since my main job is mainly for paying bills and such.  I plan to get another part time job soon for some play money but til then I'm hoping the Monarch will sell so I can put that money towards future saber purchases.

Well I guess you can eliminate one your sabers you want now that you just ordered it
 :D congratulations and welcome to feeding the addiction!  I know I'm hooked, your manticore review was the reason I bought mine in emerald, this way I could keep the blue side happy while indulging in the sith side and still be able to have BH with DVA.
Matter of fact have another point for that.

I'm waiting for my new order to arriv ebefore I update the sig as I want to find out what my grab bag sabers are.  Can't wait to see which one my friend gets too.  I'm happy to know that you found my Manticore review so helpful, compliments like that are part of the reason i keep making them, just got my DSI in SRD up in the review section the other day. ;)

Congrats on that staff, BH is a great color.  I have a Prophecy in BH and it is my favorite out of my 11 sabers.  I'm looking forward to seeing some pics when it comes in, never seen an Initiate staff in BH before.

I ordered my second saber a couple days ago; I got the Overlord in Pyrestone Orange and I can't wait to get it.  It shipped late yesterday so it should be getting here early next week (hopefully before the new year).  I'm really psyched to get my first sith saber, plus the Overlord itself is an incredible looking hilt.  Pics to come once it arrives.

So I got my Prophecy in GB but it has issues, I've emailed Emory about it.
My grab bags were a DSI without vertical grooves in GB with an MG blade, and a Dominix v3 LE in CG with a UE blade.

My free saber is totally awesome!  It is the Archon emitter, with the Consular body, and a Bellicose pommel!  I call it the "Arconicose"! It is CG with an MG blade!  I love it, the Archon emitter is my favorite emitter! :)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: James Casey on December 28, 2013, 11:39:18 PM
Point for that, Brian! I've not been home for any deliveries - yet. I'm hoping I might get lucky next time, if I place an order this week to take advantage of the sale... We'll see.

Prowl, we need to see pictures of the Arconicose! I'm wavering on bumping up my next order to the $450 mark, and the chance of getting a truly random 'sabre is really tempting me.

Heck, anyone who's got one of the MHS spectaculars, please share - I've seen Brian64's, I think, but I really love the idea of this offer - maybe US can make a full-time premium grab bag available for sale on the site?

I ordered a consular with sound in green/silver FOC.  Also got the consular with the recharge option.  This will be my first saber that has that option.  Have always been leery on ordering a saber with the recharge option.  But US was out of stock on the normal version and upgraded me to a recharge option.  Awesome customer service from Emory and the team at US.  Skipped the emerald, for me the ability to change to any color is not a big deal.  I prefer to have my saber in one color and flash on clash.  I pick my sabers depending on style of hilt and what color LED I would want that particulr hilt in.  Also have 2 grabs bags coming....I am so excited and cannot wait.  Ordered heavy grade non ultraedge and a midgrade blade as i already have 2 ultraedge heavy blades and wanted some different blades to give me options.  I do not keep my blades on my sabers or store them with blades on.  I keep my sabers in a hard sided pistol case to protect them and ease for transporting them.  I do keep on saber on my desk at work and it is the envy of everyone in my office.

Well, with thanks to Prowl for his advice on what I should go for (I made a list. It was long...), I've jumped on the current offers!

Bane with Sound (Emerald)
[Blade LED Color:Dark Violet Amethyst for Emerald]
[Emerald Driver Configuration:4 Channel Emerald Driver - RGBW LED]
[Flash on Clash:Flash Bane's Heart for Emerald]
[Pulse Mode:Pulse to Sentinel Yellow]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup for Emerald (Batteries Included *ONLY*)]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Blade Option:Heavy Grade]
[Sound:Yes, Obsidian USB Sound w/ Silver Illuminated AV Switch]
[AV Switch Channel:Direct Drive (ALWAYS ON) [Recommended]]
[Blade Tip:Round Tip]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!]
[Include Blade Plug:Yes]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks]

As this was 15% off, it pretty much made the Emerald option a freebie, as there's no charge for the Flash on Clash with Emerald 'sabres. I've been after this hilt for a while, so I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it - and as it was the one hilt that I couldn't settle on a colour for, the Emerald setup seemed to make the most sense.

There'll be plenty of pics of all the different colours, too - I already have the new Obsidian Launcher on my computer, just waiting to be plugged in :)

Grab Bag Saber (x2)
[Blade Choice:No Blade]
[Select Color:Random]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks]
[Include Blade Plug:No Thanks]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks]
[Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks]

These made up the difference in order cost, so that I also qualified for the...

Free Premium or V3 Grab Bag

Whatever this ends up being, I'm looking forward to finding out! And in the next few days I get to play the FedEx tracker game again - always a favourite :D

Well, I'll help keep your rating at neutrl if you prefer, or I can give you a dark side point for the cool sabers!

Whatever this ends up being, I'm looking forward to finding out! And in the next few days I get to play the FedEx tracker game again - always a favourite :D
A Bane!!!!  Yes!!!!  So pumped to see this hilt in someone's hands, James!!!  Although, with your huge order we may have to start a new topic on the home page for this :D  Cannot wait to see the newest of your collection, I'm pretty excited for you!(And for me too :o)

Thanks, Hazard! I'm hyped up to get my order - hopefully I'll have them in hand by Monday or Tuesday, and I'll try and get photos up as soon as possible. My parcel's on its way, and currently in Memphis, so next step should be it getting put on the plane to the UK :D

Invader, those 'sabres look fantastic. Congratulations!

Nice order, JC. Hope you're having fun with your new Emerald saber.
Want one, too :'(

Thanks, Racona! It's all sitting in Stansted about 10 miles from my house. Frustrating - but cool it's arrived so quickly having only left Texas on Thursday. I may actually have them tomorrow if there's room on the truck, but Tuesday seems more likely.

Yeah, this must be fantastic, living near the airport where it arrives from the US :D Wouldn't it be easier to drive there and get it right out of the plane? :P

Okay, we have lightsabres! Brief comments, with a full review and pictures to follow later on:

My Bane is very cool. It looks pretty simple in the pictures, but it's only when I was holding it that I really appreciated the detail of it. The emitter is a really nice piece. I've not had time to play with the settings yet, so I'll comment on the Emerald driver in the review. I asked for it to be sent with a Dark Violet blade and Sentinel Yellow pulse, as it's close to the lightsabre of a character I write. The transition passes through an interesting  shade of... taupe. I may fiddle with the settings to try and change that :D

My two grab bags were an Aeon v3 LE in Consular Green, my first CG blade, and a Dark Standard Issue in Guardian Blue.

My Aeon is a nice middle ground between my v2 and my Shock, and actually goes well with the story in my head of a Jedi learning as he ascends the ranks, developing and constructing the three silver and gold 'sabres on his way from Padawan to Knight to Master. I think I need to get a new MLS unit for my Shock to complete the story, though...

The Dark Standard Issue is the exact same hilt, with grooves, as I ordered for my staff. It's a nice hilt, and one I'm familiar with. As I now have three GB blades, I'm considering re-wiring this one to Blazing Red. We'll see - I'll have to get the LED out and see if it's possible.

My premium grab bag was a Liberator, also in Guardian Blue. No MHS special, alas, but I like the Liberator. I've been thinking about getting one for a while, and although it wasn't high on my list, getting this sort of thing is exactly why I go for grab bags - a nice hilt, comfortable to hold, and sturdy.

Overall, I'm definitely very pleased with my order. The Bane is fantastic, I love the Aeon, the Liberator is a welcome surprise, and the SI offers potential. Pics and a full review to follow!

Congratulations on those sabers, James!  I'm glad you like your Bane and I can't wait to see what you think of the emerald driver.  I like the sound of that Aeon, I want a V2 and a V3 model.  I also got a DSI in GB as one of my grab bags as well, though mine didn't have the grooves.  Looking forward to reading the reviews! :)

Post by: hazard502 on January 07, 2014, 04:56:37 AM
James thanks for the sneak peek of your new sabers!  I think the grab bag hilts kinda give you a chance to have a hilt that you're on the fence about and may never commit to.  US just does it for you :)  I like the way the bane looks, there aren't too many hilts at that price point that are a dedicated design(not full MHS)  Do you have a particular theme in mind for your bane, light side/dark side ect?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Soske on January 09, 2014, 12:34:17 AM
I ordered a stunt Guardian that is currently processing.  Also grabbed a coupler with intentions of eventually having a Shock LE staff.

Post by: Jedi_Dragonrider on January 09, 2014, 04:26:04 AM
I am not so patiently waiting for my FIRST UltraSaber, the Dark Monarch!

I decided to go all out for my first saber, Sound, Violet Amethyst Ultra-edge blade, Adegan Silver FoC, with the Silver AV switch. I thought about going with the Emerald driver (dark shock w/sound), but I just had to have the Monarch. I plan on doing a review when it arrives, possibly a video review. 300 points would be nice, lol.

Currently, my order is "processing". I'm sure you all know what I mean when I say, "The anticipation is killing me!"

Post by: Deganj on January 09, 2014, 10:47:21 PM
Ahh, I am ordering not just for myself but a group of people. You are right to ask why I didnt go with the Emerald. And its because we are using these for dueling and sword combat. So a lot of training and a lot of abuse. Maybe in my next purchase I will use mah money on a customized saber just for me. When I'm not buying for other people.

Like Relan above me, I too have just ordered a Dark Standard Issue with Sound, albeit with the standard vented pommel. already have a stunt DSI, and I ordered a vented coupler, so this should be fun.

I'm not really a mod guy, but I can tell you that the emitter is not removable like it is on some other sabers.  The pommel can be changed though.

Ordered a new scorpion with emerald and obsidian that I‘m waiting for now and its driving me nuts! Keep clicking refresh on my order to see if it has shipped yet. Gonna have blue AV switch and blade is preloaded as DVA. Gonna be awesome, but I feel like a kid with a birthday coming up later in the week waiting for it. Soon enough isn't soon enough!

Post by: Brian64 on January 17, 2014, 01:58:34 AM
Handy tip for what to do while you wait for your first saber to arrive.

1. Install the obsidian launcher.

2. Download all of the soundfonts on the order page, and also on this forum.

3. Extract all of the font archives.

4. Use the launcher to test out the fonts and make a list of what you plan to try out...



Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Brian64 on January 17, 2014, 02:02:02 AM
Next tip...

Search for and subscribe to the TPLA YouTube channel, and start watching (and maybe saving) the instructional videos so that you'll have some idea of how to wield the saber.

Just checked the tracking and it looks like my sabers are in transit from Honolulu to Alexandria a day earlier than usual. At this rate they might end up in Adelaide on Monday morning. As it's a public holiday in Oz I don't expect they'll deliver until Tuesday, but if they're there then I'll see if I can pick them up.

This is why I would go broke if I was a doctor... no patience. ;)

Waiting for my PO MLS unit ... The one I got was messed up but I fear it could have been my saber which is even more depressing since it's 2 months out of warranty ... Sent it back it will get there by Wednesday probably won't get it back until the following week... So it will be about 2.5 weeks of out of commission for my only saber with sound.

So far Emory had been awesome with the process and has been extremely communicative which leads me to believe that Emory is more machine than man with how often he replies to my emails ( seriously awesome )

Let's hope it's not the saber (crosses fingers)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Racona Nova on January 27, 2014, 08:53:31 PM
Did he say anything about the saber already being out of warranty? Or did he immediately want you to send your saber in for repair?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Kresnik on January 27, 2014, 10:36:38 PM
We haven't discussed the saber at all he just wanted to see the MLS.  My concern was :

It came originally with a CG with AS flash on clash. About a week before I took the CG out I noticed a "flicker" that occasionally happened. It was already out of warranty I didn't think much of it I actually thought it was just me noticing something that wasn't there.

I wanted to swap to PO so I bought it and took the CG out and put into my aeon cut the QDs off and soldered them to my aeon that was an AS.

When I got the PO MLS with QDs I put it in and it was a very light orange that "flickered"

I took the batteries out did a full charge and turned it on again.  The blade went light orange flickered then changed to a very pale minty green then to a yellow gold then back to green it stayed on green and flickered.

I communicated with Emory and he just said send in the MLS unit or testing.  I am just worried that he is going to get it back slap it in and work fine... And it will have something to do with the flicker or something.

He hasn't mentioned the saber yet but just a tad worried because I wouldn't be able to afford a repair for a few months from now.

No, haven't contacted them yet. I'll wait for the next two days and if there is no further update until Monday, then I'll try to phone or email them.
Btw, this is the history from FedEx tracking (all times are local scan times): (http://www7.pic-upload.de/31.01.14/s12jh9wkrcx9.jpg) (http://www.pic-upload.de/view-22126849/fedex-history.jpg.html)

I didnt know where to put my question and this topic was as close as i could find.

I want to buy Raven (Emerald with sound), but for now hes out of stock, so how i can get information when this saber will be avaible again? It will be my birthday present from my fiance and she really want it to arrive before that day (middle of the march).

You can sign up for an email notification. You find the link below the "Add to wishlist" button on the Raven page.

Luckily no worst case scenario after all...package arrived in Germany, now waiting to receive it Monday or Tuesday...I must admit, I was a bit shocked when I saw the FedEx history with my saber stuck in France.

Just ordered some stuff to upgrade my shock le to sound now I'm just waiting on a reply email about an actavation box ya know the one they have on the graflex so I can add that to my order also. I'll let y'all see the final product when its done

You need to be carefull about mentioning the other guies on this forum.

And I've thaught about that but the av switches are a different size the switches offered by ultrasabers will fit the same hole as the press fit switches the other guies offer 16mm witch are slightly bigger besides id like to get as much of my products from ultrasabers as posable and get the odds and ends where ever else I can find them

Finally ordered my first saber! ! Finally finally finally FINALLY! ! Gots me a scorpion in Dark Violet Amethyst, with silver flash, red a/v switch, and a standard heavy grade blade. My brother (who is an anti-social wuss and isn't on the forums) went with a dark initiate V3, in Pyrestone Orange, silver flash, and the standard sound setup. (No anti-vandal switch). He also ordered a heavy grade blade. Because of the super bowl deals, we've also got a mystery saber on the way. The next week is gonna be torture!  I also stand corrected. It appears my brother is on the forums after all. :p

Maybe something to do with customs...?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Racona Nova on February 02, 2014, 03:09:21 PM
No, customs will only come into play when the product arrives at its destination country...Germany, in my case. Must have been something else, but it doesn't matter anymore - my saber arrived in Cologne now...so only about two days more to wait ^^

It would be the evil customs agents, in cahoots with a powerful Sith empire.  I hope everything arrives safe and sound Racona! And yes, I need to begin reading more again. Real life often gets in the way, which sucks. I'll be posting a text review as well as a video review when my sabers show up. :)

Okay, I gave in to the awesomeness of US... The Super bowl sale finally tempted me... xD

So i'm now awaiting:

  • 2x Dominix v2 sabers for my Deadpool cosplay (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=18381 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=18381)) one RGB, one regular, both blazing red.
  • Dark initiate LE v3 in Fire Orange with Red FOC, Orange AV switch and Dark Catalyst pommel.
  • One Grab bag (Totally random, no blade)
  • One Silver Flush coupler for the initiates
  • One Black and silver vented coupler
  • And some blade caps for blades, as i'll display mostly just the hilts.

I also saved $85 with the super bowl sale, and got a premium grab bag saber... So yeah. I'll be saving up for a while now. xD

I can't wait for them to get here. :D

I might do a big video review of them all when they arrive... >:D

And I don't buy much anyway... I'm very hesitant about spending, like my family. So yeah. It took me about a year to decide to buy an UltraSaber in the first place.
Job + Spending as little as possible = splurges on awesome stuff on rare occasions. xD

Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: ComfySauce on February 03, 2014, 03:06:46 AM
I got mine in black. :) truth be told, red sabers aren't my thing. I did like the crimson reaper, but I think I'll be sticking to the more"traditional" color schemes. Plus, it just looks too badass in black.

So taking advantage of the 15% off sale and the large mound of rewards points I had, I just ordered a Phantasm v2 in DVA and AB.  I also ordered a hilt only grab bag (hoping for a silver hilt this time)  paid an extra $10 requisition fees, and requested it be in a random forum color (Asked Emory about it first). Even with shipping, between the 15% off and my points (subtracted from the total discounted price), it still cost me less than $9. ;D

Hi there,
I bought yesterday a Emerald Manticora with Sound, taked some parts to more than $500 order, and used code to Free Grab Bag Saber. :) Im soooo hiped up to see what i get! :D

Im from Poland, so a question to European forum users, how long it takes for FedEx to shipp items to You (including time from ordering to shipping it by Ultrasabers)? :)

Yeah, exactly that. The LED in my Aeon went bad a few months back. I posted it back to US, and they FedExed it back to me, same as a normal shipment.

So taking advantage of the 15% off sale and the large mound of rewards points I had, I just ordered a Phantasm v2 in DVA and AB.  I also ordered a hilt only grab bag (hoping for a silver hilt this time)  paid an extra $10 requisition fees, and requested it be in a random forum color (Asked Emory about it first).

Have received my Emerald Archon at last :D Just need to figure out what's wrong with the soundboard->launcher communication, it just won't read the soundboard and hardware settings at all :-\ It's a brand new soundboard, obviously, so it can't have an error. It even happens with my Aeons (as mentioned in another thread), but not with my Manticore.
Anyway, I'm very happy up to now :D

I like that I got the 15% discount on the total first and then my Rewards points were added, saved me more money that way. Heck three stunt sabers with shipping for less than $9?! Heck yes!!!

So I got mine in.  The DVA v2 isn't as dark as i thought it would be but when  I hold it up to my VA manticore I can see a big difference.  I think I like DVA better than VA.  The AB v2 is also really nice, I like AB in a mid grade blade. The grab bag was an Aeon LE v3 in PO.  The PO is lighter than the PO on my Scorpion though.

And now the saddest part of waiting; my sabers are less than five hours driving time from my house. But with the amount of time it will take to process everything, I cant see them arriving earlier than Monday of next week. Which sucks, because I leave for work Sunday night and don't come home till Friday.  :(

My sabers are here! Thank you Ultra Sabers! ;D

The Manticore is awesome! I love the windowed emitter.
Too bad my computer is messed up right now. I want to play with the emerald settings. :-\

I asked them to send my free Initiate in Arctic Blue and they did. Thanks again US.
It's a V3 and my first AB saber, I really like the color. Gonna have to upgrade it to li-ion at some point.

Hey all. Not new to the forums, just don't ever post anything (hopefully that changes). Anyways I finally pulled the trigger on my first ever saber with sound! (Currently I own a DSI in FO with a dark archon pommel and a Consular in CG) The saber i ordered is an arbiter and it is in DVA with an orange AV switch and of course obsidian sound! As soon as I saw it as deal of the day and with the extra 15% off I had to get it! Now to just wait and hope I don't go crazy with anticipation  ;D... Oh and make sure my girlfriend doesn't find out I've fed my addiction even more   :P

Mine was supposed to have been delivered already, but of course with all the snow that has not been possible.

So I contacted Fedex, and they assured me that I could pick it up this afternoon... if I could get there, that is.

I cannot express in words how excited I was. All I needed to do was find a way to get my car down the long driveway and eventually to the remote country road that I live on... and then hope that enough of the snow on the road had melted so that I could get to the highway. After well over an hour of shoveling and very careful driving, I finally made it to the highway. Free at last...

Now, because the Fedex center is about an hour from my location (not counting the time it took to get through all the snow), I made absolutely sure that I could indeed pick it up, and the Fedex guy guaranteed it, saying that he had placed a hold on the package, and that it would definitely be there waiting for me when I arrived.

So I drove all afternoon through traffic, nearly getting killed by a lunatic in a pickup truck who ran a red light (the drivers here in North Carolina are about as smart as your average potato... quite the culture shock when I moved down here), and when I finally got to the Fedex center... guess what?

They said that they could not give me the package. It was there, but no one had placed a hold on it, and while I was driving there it was apparently loaded onto a truck with no possibility of it being retrieved. An attempt at delivery will supposedly be made tomorrow, but I most likely will not be here to sign for it, and with all the snow there is no possible way that the driver will even attempt to get up my steep driveway anyway. Wonderful. Could my luck get any worse at this point? My saber travels a few thousand miles across the country, I get within 100 feet of the damn thing, but I can't get my hands on it thanks to freak weather and a bumbling corporate bureaucracy.

I made the long drive home totally furious, having wasted my time and effort for absolutely nothing. Needless to say, I am having some VERY strong Dark Side feelings right about now. UltraSabers did a great job of getting my order completed quickly, but thanks to the incompetent bean counters at Fedex it could be a while before I actually see the saber.  >:(

All you will need to do is put your signature on a piece of paper or a post-it note, stating that you are authorizing this signature for FedEx, so that they will be able to leave it at your front door. I work overnight, so I am most likely sleeping when FedEx ever makes a delivery. So for anything that requires a sig, I was told by FedEx that I can just leave my signature on the door, and they accept that. Hope that helps :)

Yeah, eventually I might have to. As I stated, though, they won't come up my driveway tomorrow anyway (which is why I was trying to pick it up), so they won't see the door. I'll have to wait until Monday for their next excuse as to why they are incompetent and cannot deliver my package.

The last time I had to use FedEx, I could see them from the top of my driveway. The guy pulled right up to my mailbox, stopped, and then he just drove away. I never got an explanation; all I know is that they never deliver anything to me on time. There's always a problem, and they've never once accepted responsibility.

Didn't you want to wait for the next raffle? :P Well, might be better ordering now, maybe the Bellicose is out of stock again when it comes to a new raffle ^^ And I think your CW will be placed correctly, it's quite easy to describe it with the Aeon/Dominix grooves ^^

Muhaha!! The addiction has been fed! I just ordered my second saber, or my first saber-staff, or two sabers and a coupler… however you want to look at it. I got the Phantasm V3 Initiate w/o sound in Guardian Blue w/ 32" UltraEdge heavy-grade blades. I also ordered a pair of Catalyst pommels to use when dual wielding and a grab bag heavy-grade blade for my first saber. The mid-grade blade is great for spinning but I don't think it will stand up to real impacts, which I plan on doing. I just hope the weather stays nice and the Fed Ex people are fast.  :)

Sounds awesome. Good luck with shipping times!

My first saber was the dark monarch, and I love it! The variation of girth you speak of give it (IMO) I very regal look as well as a superb grip. If you don't like the monarch, don't buy it, and leave some in stock for those of us who do love the monarch for its distinct look and feel.

I had to wait 2 weeks for my points to be awarded for my review video. I think it's one of those things that gets pushed to the back burner, not a priority, but a bonus. My understanding is that they are fairly liberal with their point awarding, it just takes a minute.

Honestly, I didn't even think about the grab bag. I guess I thought the grab bag would't include the monarch (in hindsight, it was silly of me to think that) only v2 and other less expensive hilts. My apologies for sounding condescending.

I realize now that I get to enjoy a warm, fresh slice of humble pie. Forks up!

Post by: Racona Nova on February 20, 2014, 09:52:58 PM
Yeah It's damn hard to go for them - they're quite expensive and (as long as you don't have that much money) only worth buying when you can participate on deals, either DotD or feature deals. I got mine during an Archon DotD and Emerald Driver deal and you save quite a bit with them.

Post by: Aurick on February 20, 2014, 10:27:33 PM
I'm sure I won't get it again so it took a while to decide on which hilt I wanted and I love that the dark shock to me at least can be light side or dark side. With the activation box and the guardian pommel I think it will have an obi wan esque feel to it. My cosplay costume that I'm getting soon to is a darker colored anakin style (ep3) set. Going for a shadow jedi type feel. This hilt is gonna be amazing and if I want to be a sith I can do that. So excited!!!

The Monarch sold, and I received payment just in time to go for a Raven in the sound sale! So happy! :D

Specs:
  • Raven (Obviously)
  • SS Claws and Pommel
  • Violet Amethyst
  • FOC Silver
  • Quick Disconnect Installed
  • Silver AV Switch
  • No Covertec/Recharge port.

I got a couple of spare parts that I was after as well:
  • Yari pike extension Black
  • Archon emitter and neck (Kudos to BenPass and srams for info about female threaded emitters)
  • Initiate UEHG blade.

I got a Premium grab bag too, might as well. *crosses fingers for not-a-Monarch*
Can't wait! Estimated arrival Wednesday! :D

With all those Libbys, Aeon/Dominix etc. floating around from that sale I don't think that you will receive a Monarch ^^ And congrats on your order, looks like you will get a great saber.

Congrats, Acolyte! I did consider bidding on your Monarch, but I think it went over what I could afford to pay. Glad you found someone to buy it, and congrats again on your purchase!

My hopes of having my saber this weekend is dwindling by the minute... :( I ordered yesterday morning and I got overnight shipping so my last chance is if it gets shipped today. I'm crossing my fingers. I'm not used to having a turnaround take this long. They are ao good that when an order takes a normal amount of time we feel that something's wrong haha! Thanks for letting me rant guys, this waiting for it after the purchase is the hardest part. Makes ya feel like a kid on Christmas though!

Congrats lyte on your order its great when the one you want just happens to be the deal of the day just seen that you put your monarch on eBay I think I messaged you about it if your cookie97 but I ended up working two days solid and by the time I checked eBay again the bidding had already ended sorry about that if indeed it was you I messaged.

While we're on the topic of waiting, I am not-so-pleased with FedEx. *Sigh* I suppose it's not that bad, but I have become an unfortunate victim of a flaw (IMO) in the shipping system. My package came to my door today as planned but I was not home to sign for it. When I got home I had them hold the package for pick up, thinking I could pick it up later or possibly tomorrow morning before I go to work. So, I called the location to confirm that they will hold it and ask for a possible ETA of my package. He confirmed the hold order and could, in fact, tell me the exact time it would arrive…Tomorrow EVENING! I said "Wait, evening?" And he said, "yes sir, the end of the day tomorrow." He explained the system, basically, they don't remove the parcels from the truck at night, they just lock the whole truck in a warehouse. The next day they load up more new items, go out on their deliveries, and at the end of the day they take all the return to sender, false delivery address, and hold orders to their respective places. Well, that was a fail! My fiancé has tomorrow off so she will be here to sign, I was hoping to get it earlier than when I was off work. I asked if he could cancel the hold order and just have it delivered like normal so I didn't have to go out of my way to pick it up right at rush hour, next to the highway. No, was the answer. Apparently, once you pace a hold order on an item it can not be un-held. I asked if it would be there by 5 and I was told I would get an e-mail when it was there and it depended on how many orders were on that truck.  ::)

So I may not get my package until 8, which is when they stop deliveries. I realize that is worst case scenario, however, best case is I have to fight highway rush hour tomorrow instead of just going home and having a saber waiting for me.

The flaw, I think, is that there isn't an "override" button. Why does it have to be a "permanent hold order"? The box is already on his truck, why can't he just deliver it like normal? Or, alternately, why aren't the held packages removed in the morning to make room for more deliverable packages?

This is not a rage post. I got my rage out in a not-so-pleasant complaint to the appropriate people.

I think the bottom line here is, waiting sucks.

Post by: Aurick on February 22, 2014, 02:19:44 AM
Well highlight of the day was seeing that the saber shipped... The low was seeing that it's estimated to be here Monday... I wasted a lot of money getting overnight for it to be here Monday. At the same rate I could've gotten 2 day. What's the point of delivering on Saturdays if it doesn't matter what service you request they take their sweet time regardless of what you purchased? US YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! Nothing changing there but fed ex just doesn't have the same values you do. Just so I'm not crazy if someone got overnight shipping and it shipped today wouldn't you expect it the next day? If tomorrow was a Sunday I'd get it... Help me out guys am I crazy? Fed ex can shove it haha next time I'll just stick with standard shipping, lesson learned. Sorry for the rant...

Don't get me started. I'm a massive fan of US, but FedEx can go... Well. You can probably guess. It just seems like an Inconsistent way of doing things... In many areas. Especially Duty charges (Personally) and missed delivery (other forum member). I've always (just) caught my deliveries, so I haven't experienced that...

Scorpious, Its just the luck of the draw I guess... Still looking forward to my Raven Though. :D And I think you did message me, yeah... :)

Post by: James Casey on February 22, 2014, 08:56:18 PM
Crowman, I wouldn't chase them, personally. Sometimes stuff gets in the way of work, amazingly enough :D I placed an order between Christmas and New Year that took about 4 days to get filled and shipped... but given the time of year, that was fair enough.

The site does say to allow 2-3 weeks to ship, and while that's something of an anachronism nowadays, I'd be surprised if it's not out of the door within 5 working days. Wasn't there a US holiday this week just gone, too? That could mean a little backlog on orders.

*

Aurick, I'd say you have a case to seek a partial refund on the difference from FedEx, unless they can explain why the delay has been caused. It's cool that the options are there, though - with shipping to the UK (and, I guess, most of the rest of the world) you just have the option of International Standard, and it gets there when it gets there. Still, if you pay for overnight, and it doesn't say (unless you want it on Saturday, in which case we just take your money and laugh at you), then you should get it the next day.

*

Dragonrider, that does sound like a pretty poor system... but I would have to imagine that it's the best of a bad choice. FedEx live and die by their delivery timescales, so anything that works quicker will get adopted. And at least if it's sat in the truck, it shouldn't be taking another trip around their handling side of things, which would double the chance of you getting showered in lightsabre fragments when you open the box ;)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Aurick on February 22, 2014, 11:52:51 PM
Sage advice James. I feel that in my exuberance I failed to research my options properly :( I've spent months planning this purchase it's the biggest I'll likely have ( til next tax season anyway :) ) so I just wanted it now and made a silly decision to go with something I've not looked into properly. After the fact I looked up all the options in detail and had I got priority overnight it would be in my hands right now and I'd be doing a picture/video review for all to see... Alas I've learned a lesson in all of this. Happy sabering to all

Post by: Jedi_Dragonrider on February 24, 2014, 09:39:13 PM
Congrats!

I got the call to pick my saber up on saturday, while i was at work. They were very nice. I have no complaints with FedEx's in person customer service.

@ James, I believe you are absolutely correct, the best of a bad system. I don't doubt there was a precedent in which they figured a "better" system.

As always, the pictures on the website do not do the saber justice. I got the Phantasm V3 initiate. I wanted the smaller sabers for dual wielding and with the catalyst pommel they are perfect for one handed fighting. with the 32" Heavy blade the balance is very nice. I also got a full size heavy grab-bag blade (I got regular, non-UltraEdge) and the extra 4 inches make a HUGE difference in balance. I am used to spinning my Monarch with a 36" mid grade blade and switching to the 36" heavy grade blade makes it feel ridiculously heavy. I think its just because I am used to the lighter blade but my technique is suffering because of the added weight. Surprisingly the 32" heavy blade feels much closer to the 36" mid grade blade.

I don't have an account on any picture sharing site…so, i guess now is as good as anytime. once I get all that setup I'll take some pics and share my new toy.  ;D

Mine are scheduled for Wednesday... But unless FedEx performs miracles and gets them to Houston, across the Atlantic, through customs and to me in a day, I think they might be a bit late. *sobs* But I can but hope. Maybe they'll use the force.

Bellicose all the way....a saber that can be either Jedi or Sith very easily.  Mine is a stunt, but with Li-ion set up......Love the simple yet elegant design of the Bellicose.

Cheers

Standard Issue staff would be cool - I got my Dark Standard staff as a raffle entry and that's a stunt 'sabre. I recommend silver blades for the full Imperial Knight effect!

That said, the Bellicose is amazing... What about a stunt Bellicose staff? :)

So instead of being selfish and ordering a Bellicose (which I reeeeeeaaaaaalllllly really really want), I ordered two sabers for my kids...............................aaaaaaaaaand a grab bag ;D
My kids' birthdays are coming up, and we're having a joint Star Wars themed party for them (complete with missions, Jedi training academy, costumes, and a friend of mine who is dressing up as a Sith Lord lord so we can battle it out for an epic ending!). I figured it would be icing on the cake if I presented them with their REAL light sabers after they complete their Jedi training and missions with their pool noodle sabers, and officially promote them from younglings to Padawans (well, really one Padawan and one apprentice, since my younger one is already aligned with the dark side - she chose to be Vader at the party).

So, on to my order! For my eldest - a tall, energetic, fire haired 6 year old girl (soon to be 7), I got an Initiate v3 LE with the Li-ion setup, in VA, mid grade initiate blade. Cannot WAIT to see that one. For my baby girl (5 soon to be 6) - a spunky, Shirley Temple look-alike with tenacious curls of fire red hair and a sense of humor akin to Adam Sandler - I got a Dark Initiate v3 LE with Li-ion setup, in BR, mid grade initiate blade.

I'm anticipating getting a Father-of-the-year award for this from my girls. They both absolutely love my Archon and ask to play with it every day when I come home from work. Getting them their own light sabers will definitely be a highly cherished memory of mine. The suspense is killing me!!!!!!

I know when ientered the last raffle and was awarded with a prophacy In va my daughter was there when I opened the package( age 3 and loves purple) she saw it, I handed it to her, she saw phrple and herd the hum and was hooked its her favorite toy now.

I'm also a Sith... good idea.

also, the raven claws are to attach to the end of a pike extension.
the Dominix is going to be expensive (it will be my best)
and the silver couplers will be for if I use the Dominix as a pike.

I suspect they put a couple of each aside before running the raffle, just in case...

And my order has shipped! It's been 10 days waiting, but it's totally worth it because there's a free 'sabre in there too!

I suspect by... maybe Wednesday or Thursday, I'll have them in hand. FedEx site says Thursday, and just for once I should be in when my order arrives!

My raffle entry was a nickel plated Guardian with sound in Guardian Blue and Bane's Heart flash on clash.

I scored a third place prize in the raffle, a random hilt with li-ion batteries, so I suspect it'll be a Dominix, Aeon or one of the Liberator, Prophecy or Standard Issue models... I'll be psyched whatever, but a red, silver or orange blade would be nice - they're under-represented in my collection :)

Yeah. That makes sense. Mine raffle prizes will probably still take a day or two longer because i got to pick the hilts.

*Does a little dance*

My order's been picked up from US (I'm guessing they did a bulk collection of all the orders shipping today) which means it'll be moving eastwards over the weekend. Hopefully it won't sit at one of the distribution facilities for 36 hours like a couple of my orders have in the past.

Anyway, 5 pounds of sabery goodness on their way ;D

I am pleased to report that I got my saber back with the recharge port installed and everything working as it should.  :)

But... unfortunately somebody forgot to actually send the recharger/adapter with the saber, so I have a recharge port but no way to make use of it.  :(

I guess I'll have to wait another week to really get up and running. <impatiently looks at clock>

Adding to my wait list, just sold some gear from another one of my hobbies (Pro Stock Hockey Gear) and I am just waiting for the paypal funds to clear so I can order my Dark Initiate LE v3 and start work on a Main Gauche saber. Not sure whats a harder wait, waiting for my first saber to show up or for paypal to clear so I can get my second... The pain is excruciating...   ???

The eventual plan is for my older daughter to have a staff made from a pair of Aeon V3s in violet to go with my staff and my younger daughter, who has no interest in a staff, will have an Initiate for now.

I think if this turns out well I might buy a double saber. 2 black Reapers with purple blades. Might even get an emiter claw to make it more darkside-ish.  But that'll have to wait till NEXT tax return. XD

Soooo Prowl, you and I have a Shock LE, you and I want a standard Shock.  However with the release of the Chosen One, what would you choose now?  You must choose......wisely.  If I think about it too long I get myself into trouble and then I'm not sure.  But if I had to pick in 5 seconds I think it would be the Chosen One cause I am a SUCKER for classic lightsabers.

Josh, that's a nice collection.  :-)  What is the bottom picture of?  It looks like an Initiate V3 or Aeon V3 with a coupler and emitter on the pommel end supporting a second blade?  Is that a custom config?

Oy...  Package is at the FedEx hub in Memphis.  No doubt travelling to Huntsville today for delivery Monday.  On the way...  :-)

The bottom picture is an initiate v3 with the Archon neck and emitter as the pommel:).

Excellent.  :-)
Not sure exactly what I'm going to do with mine yet.  To be honest, I mainly purchased it as a fulfillment of a long-time wish plus it will be a lot more fun to practice with than a plain old bo staff or wooden katana.  :)

Also will look awesome on the wall in the 'man cave'...

Know what you mean. Need more room to wield a saberstaff. Maybe here in the next couple of days I can take the Inition to a place where I have room and get the feel for it and other saberstaffs:).

Soooo Prowl, you and I have a Shock LE, you and I want a standard Shock.  However with the release of the Chosen One, what would you choose now?  You must choose......wisely.  If I think about it too long I get myself into trouble and then I'm not sure.  But if I had to pick in 5 seconds I think it would be the Chosen One cause I am a SUCKER for classic lightsabers. 

Definitely the Chosen One (in BR of course).  It will go well with my Graflex SE in AB.

The wait for my first saber got a little annoying on Wednesday. As I was getting on the road to head back to my parents place for a few days, I get the email saying that my Dominix v3 LE is at the shopping hub in Vegas... It's right there... Yet I'm 500 mills away... Gah!!! *shakes fist* >:(

I'm not currently waiting for a saber, but one of my friends ordered a saber (against my Strong protests) that isn't from US. I won't mention names but it'll sure be interesting to see how this other (generally rated worse than US) seller will compare to US's so far perfect products. I'm not expecting him (my friend) to be as happy as I was when I started buying sabers. :/

He's already had more than 3 separate issues with the customer 'service' of this seller, and he's the most polite guy I know. :/ I couldn't help but tell him (again) about how good US is in this respect. He's been saying he'll buy a Ultrasaber next, so at least he's learning. xD

(If mods think this is against forum rules then please remove it, I don't mean to cause problems, I'm just waiting to see how much better US's products are.)

Both are in SRD, its a beautiful color and it just called to me when I looked at the color chart. After the Dark Initiate arrives its no more sabers for a bit, gonna build up a costume and customize them a little bit. But I'm hooked, I've got plans.

Not really waiting for a saber, but just for a BR unit for my Manticore w/ silver FoC and QDs :) Decided to replace my current DVA unit with the BR one from time to time to make it even more Sithy. Already have the Sith font and the red AV switch on it, so BR just made sense...and with the FoC Spring Deal it saved me a couple of $$ :P

EDIT: Stupid creature -.- I totally forgot my reward points that would have saved me a lot more $$...There's no way to apply them after the order was placed, right?

Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Karmack on March 26, 2014, 03:39:35 PM
Well, that didn' take long...

So we're goofing off last night, and my older daughter wants to give the saber a try.  So I uncouple the staff and hand her one side.  We clash a few times, but she's a smaller girl and the saber is bigger than she is comfortable with.

So I rummage in my bag and pull out the dark initiate.  :-)  She literally squeeled and started whipping it around like a true Jedi.  (She's been practicing katana forms for a while now).

I put my staff back together and we're going at it, having fun, when my younger daughter comes outside.  You know, the one who's never expressed an interest in having a saber.  She takes a turn with the Initiate, and then wouldn't give it up.  I separated my staff again and handed my older daughter half of it again and we were back at it.

Then the wife comes out.  Swings the saber around.  (You know, 'that... that... TOY!)  Gets a real charge out of the sound FX.  (I handed her mine, with the sound card)

Now the girls are all going at it, and me? 

I'm watching.  Smiling.  But watching.

I really don't want to be watching.

So my second order is in.  Three days after recieving my first!

On order: Silver Initiate V3, Violet Amethyst blade.  Ordered a Catalyst pommel to go with it, to extend it slightly for two-handed use.  Also ordered a couple of spare initiate blades (the 36" blades are just a bit long for a Phantom staff) and a coupler so we can put the two Initiate V3s together as a staff if we want.

That will give me four hilts and blades to go around, so we can keep everyone happy.  For now...

Cool!  ON the way!  :-)

My main fear now is that there will be a huge fight over the VA Initiate.  That silver/violet combo is going to be attractive to all three of them.  I would have gone ahead and ordered a complete staff in VA but I'm already over-budget.  :-(

Seems like I can't pass on season deals (discount plus free Initiate), 2/2 now :) Ordered an Emerald Consular w/ Guardian pommel. I already have some customization ideas (think of my Sith Oppressor, but this time more of a fallen Jedi theme). Hopefully my Sith outfit from Twin Roses will arrive soon so that I can post some pictures in costume (the weather's finally getting Spring-y in this part of the world).

Hey guys,
New to these forums and the saber scene, but had to post my giddiness over ordering my 1st US saber today.

After some serious research and browsing I've finally gone for the 4 Channel (RGBA) Emerald Catalyst with Orange Illuminated AV switch.
Obviously the 4 channel means the world is your oyster as far as colours etc go but I'm intending to primarily run a Pyrestone Orange type set up ( maybe a tad more red)  but it's the "realistic" flicker/pulse I'm most looking forward to setting up. Coupled with the FoC options from the Emerald Driver well I just can't wait!!

I'm UK based so probably got a reasonable wait on my hands now. Still will give me plenty of time to get a few themes and ideas down before it arrives!!

Managed to order in time to get a free initiate as well. What are people's experiences with those grab bag deals?  Are the initiates totally random as far as features go or does it tend to be a bare bones saber?  All great for free of course. Just curious as to what may end up getting sent!

Will be sure to post pic and a review after my  saber arrives. There don't seem to be too many Catalyst reviews around ATM.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Brian64 on March 30, 2014, 02:33:54 AM
Interesting, very interesting.. I was giving some thought to ordering the exact same saber, (though with RGBW), even down to the orange av switch.

Post by: The 97th Acolyte on March 30, 2014, 08:15:58 AM
Hey Bleak! Fellow UK dweller here, and don't be so sure. You're looking at a week ish. Which is damned fast IMO. ;)

Nice choice on the saber! You're right, there's not too many Catalyst reviews up, I think its because there's more showy sabers out there. Those that do have one love them though. :)

As for the free initiate, the grab bag type offers tend to be Either AAA or Li-ion setup stunt sabers (no sound) But as you said, still a great offer. :)

Post by: Bleakoctober on March 30, 2014, 09:58:55 AM

I was all set to be waiting 3-4 weeks at least.
1 week would be amazing!
Now you see you've gone and got me all excited again :)
Just as I was trying to put it to the back of my mind for a bit lol

Grab bag saber sounds great. I'm stunned they actually do offers like this
Will certainly  bare it in mind when timing any future purchases!!

I can see how The Catalyst may not be some peoples 1st choice. But I just loved the whole sleek nature of it as soon as I saw it, will get pics up ASAP :)

I placed my order Thursday (27th) morning, US shipped it on the same evening, and FedEx tracking says it will be in Sweden this Thursday. Only 5 working days :)

Regarding the Catalyst, I really like the dark version, but I don't like the fact that the neck is attached to the body through wiring. It would be pretty sweet if you could use that neck+emitter combo on other sabers.

This will be my first US and from what I'm hearing delivery sounds like a quick turn around. I paid extra for the expedited shipping so and will be working with twin roses on my sith robes soon. Hopefully I'll have the saber by friday

No complaints here.  I placed my last order last week Wednesday and it should be here in ... about an hour or so.  :-)
I put the order in Wednesday, they shipped it Thursday evening, that's one day from order to dock.
Two day delivery and WHAMO.  :-)
Three business day turn-around.  It could very well be they manufacture in a T.A.R.D.I.S.   It would explain much...

G'Day everyone! So eagerly awaiting a 'Chosen One' with all the options. I have never owned even a toy sabre, and truth be told I am not even that much of a fan of Star Wars (I mean, I like the franchise but I don't have cosplay stuff)(yet) but when I kept seeing the add for US on Slashdot I just had to get one. I figured I would jump in full tilt and buy the dearest sabre there was, the Chosen One CE with emerald and sound, and me basically ticking yes to every option. I am in Aus so expecting a few weeks at least, but reading other posts I may have this is my hands much sooner.
Once I get it I will of course post some happy snaps and most likely even do a video review.

Hi Brian,
I am just outside of Melbourne. Have a day off today and have just been reading these forums all morning.
Yeah I know the shipping will be less than a week, I just don't know how long the 'Chosen One' will take to make. Wow, okay so it is showing as Shipped now, I should have this early next week.

So as I edited above, my Chosen One has shipped! Just my luck the DOTD is now the chosen one! I couldn't resist the free initiate deal though and as such I also ordered a Dark Standard Issue v3 Staff. So now I am waiting (im)patiently for both packages to arrive!

I found that Dark Prophecy too tempting, and added in a grab bag saber to my order so that I could qualify for a free initiate. So I'm once again joining in the short wait and anticipation for a mystery saber.

Well looks like my Emerald Catalyst is on its way!
Ordered it 02:00 Saturday night (GMT) and the saber was shipped out
21:00 Monday night (GMT)!  Expected delivery Friday and I'm based in the UK!!

I'm starting to believe these TARDIS rumours :)

Nice choice! Vastly underrated saber. We don't see too many people ordering liberators... Normally get them in grab bags, like I did. (:D)

Is yours stunt or sound? :)

This saber was the last week's deal of the day and I thought that having a "plain silver" hilt would be cool. I can understand that it might looks"boring" to some people but I'm sure i'll be very happy when it will be in my hands.
Mine is sound with illuminated switch! I cannot imagine ordering a saber without sound (if I have the money of course)....but i'll probably get a grab bag for training very soon  ;D Or upgrade my Initiate with a longer blade...don't know yet!

Yeah, the feel of the hilt is great, and it goes really well in green. :) Lots of customisation options too. :)

Sound is an awesome feature, but non-sounded sabers are good for practising when it would be inappropriate to have saber sounds. Or to display. :P

That's really fast Karmack grat. Gives me more hope for a fast turnaround on my order!
Where are you based m8?
What saber did you go for?

I am in Huntsville, AL.  Home base of Marshall Space Flight Center, and where the Von Braun team worked that sent us to the moon.  :-)  Very geeky town.
My order was an Initiate V3 in Violet Amathyst.  Stunt saber, with a coupler to put it with the Initiate V3 I snagged in the last deal to form a nice staff.
It will also be my daughter's primary saber for single weiled.  We each have a pair now, with initiate blades for staff config and 36" blades for normal config.

I just wish I could have affored to rig it with sound.  Would have been sweeeet...

My Chosen One has made it to Hawaii, now just a quick hop over the ocean to Australia and I should have it in my grubby little paws on Tuesday. It sucks because I have Tuesday off work and I get everything delivered to work, looks like I will be going in especially!-


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Brian64 on April 03, 2014, 09:33:52 AM
I'm betting Monday for you. Mine goes from Hawaii to Alexandria to Adelaide. My Chosen One actually arrived in Adelaide the day before I received it, because they held it back from going on the truck that day... that's the first time they've held my sabers back so it could be delivered on the expected delivery day though. You could always make arrangements to pick it up directly from FedEx - depends on whether your workplace is closer to the FedEx depot. :)

I'm probably going to take the 'pick up at depot' option the next time I order stuff.

I am hoping for Monday, but the depot is an hour up the road from work so I don't really have the 'pick up' option. I will be happy with Tuesday anyway.
On another note, how much should the CE chosen one weigh? I am trying to guess the initiate by the package weight!

Did you have any unsually long delay at any point? I had that when waiting for my Archon...it must have seen literally all of Charles de Gaulle Airport, it was three days there in transit...normal is one day. So it came three days behind schedule w/out FedEx updating the scheduled delivery time :-\

Yeah, actually the whole delivery process was quite slow this time. It stayed in Memphis for 3 days, then arrived in France on the night of April 1st, and finally made it to Stockholm today around 4pm. I should get it before 11am tomorrow based on earlier experiences, but still, they could have updated the estimated delivery so I wouldn't be crushed like this :)

Lucky you. I think it's an EU customs thing at France that causes delays. Apparently paying ridiculous shipping fees is not enough suffering ::)

If the FedEx guy were to apologize tomorrow however:

Yeah, I know what you want to say ;)

However, I think the customs come into play when the package reaches its destination country (in your case Sweden). For me, this International Shipment Release - Import thing only appeared when it came to Cologne (Germany)...don't know why it takes a detour via France. Maybe it's the main FedEx hub for EU imports from non-EU countries and from there it's directed to its destination.

I don't know about that - when I ordered my first saber, I got a mail asking for my social security number equivalent for import fee purposes when it arrived in France - because the delivery address was my workplace, which is a university. Then again, I think that shipment release/import notification appeared when it was here. I don't know, I'm confused, I just want my saber :)

Just had a call from the wife. My sabers arrived woot!!
Downside is I'm stuck here at work another 4 hours.  They are going to feel the slowest 4 hours of the year!

Amazing delivery speed. I clicked "submit" on the order button for my saber 130hours ago.
In that time a customised saber has been constructed/programmed and sent from Texas USA to little old Blackpool UK. I'd be lucky if I could get a local letter delivered that fast normally!!

Pics and review incoming.

3hrs 58mins to go now..... :)

It's an Emerald Driver and my factory choice settings were Blazing Red Pulsing to Pyrestone Orange. So it's probably somewhere on the way from the Pyrestone to the red looking at that photo (slow pulse on factory settings).
It's now set up as I intended. A slightly deeper Pyrestone Orange with the nice Flicker effect making it look frighteningly real:). Combined with the 3 font sets I've tried so far; Sister of Shadows, Ancient Saber and Black Star give a real menacing old style saber feel about things. Looking forward to trying out more tomorrow (sampling full Font sets on sabers really seems to take its toll on the old batteries lol) and getting a few more pics out and a review (in the proper sub-forum ofc)
In the meantime...

I ordered a few things last week... another Initiate and a couple of 32" blades that I need for this weekend...

...but I am beginning to get concerned because my order still has not shipped, despite it being such a simple order. It still just says "processing", as it said last week. I ordered them well in advance to make sure that I received them by this weekend, but if they don't ship soon I won't get them in time.

Just my luck. I'm going to have some really disappointed padawans this weekend.  :(

Anyone else waiting on an order that is in limbo?

If they don't get here in time, you may have to tell the padawans that their lesson this time around is in Patience, but hopefully the order just arrives to you in time. Good luck friend. And I'm not sure if everyone is gone or not, but regardless it would leave them understaffed

So I have had it confirmed that the Ultrasabers team is out of the office. Orders will commence on the 10th of April. So dont count on them getting to you as quickly as usual. Times like these are why they post a 2-3 week shipping time on all sabers

Can't wait for next week to see what grab bag saber I end up with (and free initiate)

I think what I'm waiting for almost as much is to see how good the AS works with the colour disks, and/or the stacks of Resco and Lee filter packs I've picked up. Emerald is totally wicked but there are still a bunch of sabers I want, and with the arsenal of emeralds I already have it gets harder and harder to justify getting yet another fully optioned saber.. I know it won't be as good as Emerald, but I'm hoping it'll be good enough.

Oooh, very nice arrScott. Did you enter the raffle as well?

Hopefully you can share some pics when it arrives - I really like the idea of a Manticore in that colour!

Yep, entered the raffle and will definitely post pics. I've been eyeing the Manticore for the emitter - not even so much the windows as that it resembles the bottle neck on my favorite rum - and for the elegance of the shaft. When it went on DotD, I got down to business choosing options, but wound up taking so long to decide stuff that by the time I committed DotD was over for it. But then I saw the raffle and pulled the trigger.

I have ideas about doing some customization with copper leaf, maybe even working in some green patina.

I'm (im)patiently waiting for my new ... Manticore in SY. First US, ordered this morning!

Ordered on Friday, just got the email that it's shipped on Monday morning. After a holiday weekend. Wow!

Not highly unusual.  US is nothing if not FAST.  Still seems a long time to wait.

Good to see another SY fan!  I have a Phantom V3 staff in SY.  Love it.  :-)  Welcome and enjoy!  That should be a nice combo of color and hilt.

Hello there, ok first post after i've now reading a few weeks through so many posts .. than a few days ago decided to join.
And now i am trying to wait patiently for my order that i placed about 38 seconds ago ... .
I got my self two things ... a Phantasm V3 in Blazing Red  (god how could i not) and an Aeon V3 in Arctic Blue .... so basically 3 Aeons.
And as i am absolutely cheap, no sound but money just wouldn't allow it ... as delivery to the Uk is quite a bit.
And i tell my self i don't need it ... at the moment...

Well that's that ...can't wait ...

As i set my self a very strict price limit, sadly not,but i just could't get my self to order more.
But i'm not too worried as raffles seem to happen fairly often ...so hopeful another time.


I'm still surprised that i stuck to my $300(incl. delivery) limit as at one point my shopping cart was at $800 ....

Excellent!  I have a Phantom V3 staff, but I went with Sentinel Yellow, I've always loved that color for a saber for some reason.  :-)  You will not be disappointed with them or the Aeon.  Other hilts might have more of "the look" about them, but I have not found a hilt that handles as well as my Dominix V3s, separate or joined.  I'm just starting to plan a few "tweaks" to mine to make them a bit more original, but even pure stock they look and feel great.  Wecome to the madness!

*checks account*  Nope.  No money I can spare...  *cries*

And, as well as all the things Karmack said, their simpleness allows a lot of customization options, if you wanna go that way. :)

Cool so not alone on this little island^^

Customization is one of the reasons why i got 2(3)  i've seen so many great ideas on here from shrouds, to claws(that one got me the most as the raven looks cool but quit bulky) to different pommels.
i can not wait ...just need to figure out how to do it ...all this makes waiting a bit harder now but ohhh so sweet.

ok quick mod to this post ... just got an email from US that my sabers where shipped ... WHAT? my heart just jumped a bit(in the good way... i hope) i ordered at 7pm GMT so i guess perfect for the guys in the U.S. to hit the office but i did not see that one coming...

Well, I bought a Standard Issue and two Initiates for the raffle. The Initiates are for my niece and nephew... and I'm hoping they'll arrive by next Friday as we're supposed to see them for his birthday on the Saturday . Given that the earliest they might ship is Monday... It's going to be tight :-\ We may have to go another day, or get them shipped over to them for his actual birthday - but I want to be there when they open them :D

Am patiently waiting for my Manticore in Arctic Blue with a Mid-Grade blade and Silver FoC. :)
Ordered it yesterday after a long forth and back on whether I should order it right away, or wait some more, but my nervous index finger just couldn't hold still so I placed the order.

Funny thing is, that just a few hours after placing the order, US came up with the "15% off" and "Free Premium/V3 Grab Bag" discount codes....god dammit! ;D
The latter would've been a nice surprise for a friend who's considering to get a saber from US fro quite some time now, but just doesn't have the resources.
Well...maybe next time. ^_^"

Can't sleep.  FedEx claims my shipment is scheduled to arrive today, but that my package has not left the facility in Nashville, much less make it here to be put out for delivery?  I could sleep if it would just be signed out as leaving the Nashville sorting facility. 

How am I supposed to continue existing if my package is not delivered in time for May the 4th?

So glad I held off on ordering the Consular with nickel plated shroud when it was on DotD... Just placed my order for one with the works with the 15% off sound and free grab bag specials. I've taken the advice of those who've gone before me and requested that the recharge port not be placed anywhere that would prevent the shroud from being removed.

The Aeon LE on DotD was just too tempting, so I ordered one of those as well. :D

Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Brian64 on May 02, 2014, 10:07:15 AM
I would like an Emerald Archon as well, and a Shock LE, a Dominix LE, a Dark Arbiter... oh, and a Dark Shock.. probably a Crimson Reaper as well, then I'd like to try one of those Omen hilts with another emitter, maybe a Manticore or better yet, a 'Greywalker83 Special'

But... I can't order any more sabers - I've run out of space in my signature!



Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: BigBossSE on May 02, 2014, 08:27:20 PM
FedEx didn't update there delivery status until after it arrived for me...

But ohh my .... last Tuesday i ordered 3 Aeons(really wanna make a review video somehow) and i was soo in love that yesterday i wanted to order a bellicose with sound but i didn't.

Lucky me, now with the 15% off i went straight to the order button 15 minutes after the email hit my mailbox.

Now hopefully soon a Bellicose in Blazing Red(i love red....) with obsidian soundboard will hit my mailbox.

I think i watched EeRocKK's review video 30 times to make my mind up between the Raven or the Bellicose and whuhhh i can not wait ...


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Brian64 on May 02, 2014, 10:09:51 PM
Sounds awesome, I'm waiting for my first Aeon after ordering one last night.

Just an ordering tip for the newbies. UltraSabers and specials go hand in hand like coffee and cake. You can enjoy a coffee without cake, but things are so much better with cake! :)

The current specials are on until the 11th, the current DotDs will expire on the 5th. That means there are most likely another two more sets of 2-4 DotD sabers discounted before the current specials end. The money you save on picking up a saber on DotD instead of normal retail could go towards a new emitter or pommel... or the next saber.

The only reason I ordered my Consular above when it wasn't on DotD is because it had only just ended as a DotD saber, otherwise I'd have held off and made sure it wasn't going to be on DotD. And besides, the Aeon LE I ordered wouldn't have qualified for the free grab bag by itself. While I would love to order the Shock LE, there are a few sabers I want to get before seriously considering that one, so... nickel plated Consular, finally!

I also picked up a few extra pommels and emitters to spice things up!  Now my custom Archon v2.1 in SY will have some friends!

Now out of curiosity I checked the tracking-ID again this morning...and...---> (5/6/14 - 7:48 am - "On FedEx vehicle for delivery")
Seriously? xD I know that everyone around here is familiar with the fast shipping service by US, but this really takes the cake when I consider how long other items tend to ship from the states. :D

Take it from me, it doesn't matter how many sabers you have, when you get that 'Your order has shipped' notification, patience is hard to find.

For me it's the SURPRISE factor - wondering what that grab bag is going to be, and what colour... and will it have something new or different about it?

I've ordered two sabers so far, and after placing each order, I noticed that I was unable to modify either one because they were listed as already being processed. I can't remember where I read it, but I seem to recall Emory saying something about our orders being sent to the fabrication floor immediately after they're placed. That's probably a big part of why UltraSabers' turnaround time is so incredibly minimal. My Chosen One was processed, built and out the door in nine hours. NINE HOURS. Not even half a day passed before they got it in the mail.

"Impressive. Most impressive."

Your decision... difficult it is when 20% from DotD the Malice with sound is, hmm?

Many extra savings to be had with 15% off sound sabers there are, and a free grab bag saber you can gain if $400 your order reaches.

Not so difficult I think!

Do, or do not, There is no "aahhhhh!"

I think I have to leave the Malice for now. I have to pay for the car's repair and I already have an Emerald Archon (my 1st Emerald saber ever!) on the way (should be mine by wednesday). Also, the shipping quote for the Malice to France is about $80....argh ! I've bought 5 sabers since March and our friends at US do special deals quite often so I'll be wise....this time !  ;D

France?!? Why is FedEx sending me my order via France? They always travel from Houston to Memphis to Honolulu to Alexandria (ACT), to Adelaide. This time it's gone from Houston to Memphis to Charles De Gaulle Fr.

To paraphrase Owen Lars; 'They'd better have those units in South Oz delivered by Thursday or there'll be hell to pay.' ;)

I just ordered a stunt archon Saturday, I'm sooooo excited for it! But I'm not sure if it has been sent or not.. At the moment my memory is failing me but does ultrasabers send you a confirmation email about your saber being sent? The sent one about getting the order and that's it so far. And I can't remember from my last purchase


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Brian64 on May 23, 2014, 07:49:56 AM
Hi Xolad,

Yes, you'll get an email once your order has been shipped, and not too long afterwards an email from FedEx with a tracking link.

I used to make the mistake of rushing straight to my account page to follow the trail to the FedEx tracking number on my order, but there's no point doing that. If you're too quick then FedEx doesn't even have the number active. Easiest just to wait for the FedEx email, then you can bookmark it and stare at it until it changes. :D

I just bought a Grab-Bag saber in Blazing Red for a friend of mine as sort of an opposite-going away present.  I'm the one going away, possibly, but I know this person has always wanted one but has not had the means to get one.

I also got 3 extra Grab-Bag blades as I plan on giving away my Initiate v2 which I got during the FreeInitiate deal to another friend.  The Initiate v2 is also in Blazing Red but it came with a HG Initiate blade which is just WAY too thick.  I'll probably cut that blade down to make blade-plugs.

Not much of this order is for me, but other people.  ::)

So...

Distraught about having to wait even longer to wait for a Reaper with sound to come into stock after months of waiting to get a job to refund my bank account, I decided to look on eBay just for fun. After entering in "Ultrasabers Reaper" the first result that popped up was not just a Reaper with sound, but one with sound AND a four channel Emerald driver for with the current bid at $350.00 and only 8 minutes and 26 seconds remaining.

Having neither a PayPal account, or an eBay account, I flung myself into high-gear by quickly making both accounts while grabbing my debit card and my checkbook to fill in the relevant info. With only about 3 minutes left I was able to bid the minimum of $5 and won the auction.

Now then... I DO need to buy a blade, battery charger, and coverTec clip (which by the looks of the listing will need a hole drilled for one, but either way... I finally got my bloody saber... or rather... I can now start the 2-7 day stated wait until it arrives.

Congrats, the Prophecy hilts are my favorite.  So much so that i have two Prophecy sabers, one in BH and one in GB.  I want a Dark version in BR myself, but I'm worried I'll get one with the wheel on the wrong side.

1) - My custom commissioned hilt... Not from US, but I won't name names. I'm so excited to see how it turned out. :D

2) - A costuming guy to get back to me about a SW costume based on one from TFU1. :'D

And 3) - To get paid so I can order a Bellicose. >:D

From ultrasabers a shock le body, blade tip and a dark warglave pomel. From amazon the kit fisto hasbarf force fx and from the other guies some stuff
out of all of that stuff I'm making a couple of hybrids. The kit fisto is mine and I'm using the hasbarf board in the shock le to give to my sister in law for her birth day. So I've got some work to do.

The Bellicose is awesome, I'm sure you have seen my review of it.  I like that any color blade looks good on a Bellicose.

Ordered a tip, an initiate blade, a grab bag saber, and a grab bag blade.
The tip is to repair a blade, the tip disappeared and then it snowed. The initiate blade is for cosplaying as Luke Skywalker at Cub Scout day camp. And since I was ordering I heard a saber calling my name but I didn't know which one:).
Also it took them 6 hours and 3 minutes to prep and ship this, but who keeps track:).

Also it took them 6 hours and 3 minutes to prep and ship this, but who keeps track:).
It's on the fedex truck for delivery!!!!!!!!!!!!!:).

It is here!

Opened the box, and out popped....

An Aeon V2 LE, GB blade.  The covertec wheel is gold to match the highlights.
Pictures will be coming soon.  This will be perfect for my daughter, she loves the blue color, and the LE hilt is a different style and coloring from her sister's Initiate V3. 

Very nice.  :-)

That's great! So glad it worked out for you. It was a nice touch for them to add the gold covertec wheel to it rather than a plain silver one. Congrats!

It got here at 1:00 while I was at work.

Opening it and I got an Aeon v2 in CG. It is thinner but feels really nice:).

Well just found out Ultrasabers is gone again now returning on 6-26. So I guess i'm not getting the saber I ordered on 6-11 anytime soon.

Post by: Karmack on June 18, 2014, 02:39:42 PM
Honbura, I feel your pain.  I had to wait for a longer-than-normal time for my first order due to it coming in the middle of an offer.  Even a couple of weeks seems like forever.  :-)

JediJosh, nice!  Sounds like about the same as what I recieved, just a different color.  I was surprised at how it felt, to be honest.  With the standard blade I ordered with it (32") it has the best balance of any of my sabers to date.  Very quick and clean.  An elegant weapon... 

:-)

Yeah, the saber was actually an excuse:). All I really needed was a new tip and a shorter blade for costuming:). I'm quite happy with it:).

Just ordered my first saber. After much thought and  reading through the forums I decided to let chance decide and went grab bag as I was planning to start stunt anyway and would be happy with any of them. I did select GB with UEHG blade (planning on impending family saber duels and cousins who tend to be a bit rough). Worst case scenario I end up with an awesome saber that will be handed off to my daughter as soon as she can hold it properly (She is six months old now). So yeah, very excited and curious to see what luck brings me. Glad to be the newest member of such a great community  :)

Ultra is little behind on their orders due to them going to shows. I ordered my saber on 6/11 and it just shipped today. Just to give you an idea. i'm do to receive it on 7/2

Yeah, I know they have been busy at cons.  I figured if they were back in the office on Thursday there would be a decent chance of getting my order by next Sunday.  No shipping notification yet but I'm still hopeful.

Just got shipping notification today.  Since I'm only a state away getting my order by Sunday should be no problem.  I normally don't care, but they are going to be gifts for my brother and his friend who are coming by my place next weekend.  Now I should have a couple of shiny new sabers to give them.  Maybe I can get a couple more Ultrasaber converts out of the deal too.  ;D

Just received my Bellicose with gold button and gold covertech. It looks and feels amazing.  The batteries needed charged so I didn't get to change the sound font yet. I did at least get to hear it before they died.  Cant wait to check out the saber with fully charged batteries. I would post a pic but I dont know how.

My saber doesn't even work! I got on 6-1 the next day I went to hook it up to the Obsidian launcher and the speaker was unattached (didnt mind that  figured id just glue it) but it made a whistle sound after that the sound was very low and full of static. Now the saber wont even turn on. I contacted US on 6-2 they asked if id used their launcher which I replied early 6-2. They then asked me to send them some info the launcher stores on 6-3 I sent that info immediately and also asked about sending my saber back. I have not heard from them again yet but I will keep posting. Im hoping at some point soon they will repair the saber I just dropped almost $300 for.

Did you try reloading the default sound font?  If you attempted to load a new font while you batteries were not fully charged, that static sound can happen.  Has happened to me twice.  Fully charge your Li Ion batteries and then reconnect to your computer.  Once the default is reloaded, test it.  If it is working, try changing the font.  If you get the same problem again, then it could be the font.  I have one font that will not work on any of my sabers using my current computer.

I tried reloading the default anf my batteries were fully charged. I even tried taking the sound fonts off altogether.  Nothing works. It not even loud my plastic toy lightsaber is louder then my US saber.

So it is turning on now.  You might have a damaged speaker.  Last few saber I purchased had the speaker screwed into the battery pack so if it has fallen off, it very well could be damaged and that would account for your problems. 

You have a 90 day warranty on the internals.  US fixing it should be the very best option.  One thing to keep in mind is that the summer is a time for conventions all over the USA.  They may be attending those and are unable to get back on every email sent to them.  This is the case with all of the saber manufacturers right now as I am hearing slow customer response times on all forum fronts. 

Sorry to hear this has happened to you but definitely keep your emails handy as proof you contacted them during the initial 90 day warranty period.  Not sure which email address you are using but [email protected] is the best way to get in contact with the warranty guy.  Some have tried [email protected] and reported less success getting responses. 

Wishing you the best of luck and hope that everything works out for you.

Thanks, no its not turning on now. I figured the holiday would delay things. Im just really bummed out. It sounded great the first few hours I had it and was stoked to do my review. It is a beautiful saber and my first

US are usually very fast in effecting repairs, so I'd imagine you'd have it back within a week of shipping (assuming you're in the USA, anyway). Just too bad that you've had problems - unfortunately, it does happen from time to time.

Dominix V3 in Consular Green with an Ultra Edge Heavy Grade blade and Consular pommel for my bro, and Aeon V3 in Guardian Blue with same blade and Manticore high pommel for me. Gotta wait until October to make the order though for it'll be my bday present but I want to get my bro a new saber as well because I'm cool like that. :P

Whoa you pulled out the BIG guns for this order!  Congrats, I love the colors you chose, I have an emerald Archon V2.1 and I don't know if ill love any saber more than that one(I know, over kill :)) So I think you'll be more than pleased!  Opening that box for the first time will be intense!

Just ordered a nickel-plated Manticore CE in counselor green RBGW emerald plus sound. Lit green AV switch in series with channel 2. Pulse to adegan silver with Sunrider's Destiny foc. Recharge port. My cup runneth over!

The new Manticore CE has really gotten my attention, would love to see pics when your saber arrives if possible.  I have 2 emerald sabers, it is a brilliant tool! You'll love it if you don't already have one.  That with the Manticore will make a great combination.

Nickel-plated Guardian in SY...  (closes eyes and enters meditative state)

Ok.  I THINK I can get through the rest of my day without placing an order now...  Maybe...

Excellent choice!  Though I think when I finally am able to order mine it will be AS.  The filter swatchbook will provide me with the perfect SY.  And AB.  And CG.  And BR.  and...  Yeah.

The Guardian was the first saber I ever wanted from US but I had to dip my toe in first with a couple grab bags and eventually a Bellicose. But I had some spare change so I figured that it was time I splurge a little bit. Unfortunately my order is still processing over 30 hours later so I'm assuming they're getting a large amount of orders. Normally my orders get shipped within a few hours of being placed. But that's alright, I know what I'm getting will be worth the wait.

Thirty hours is still a drop in the bucket compared to other sabersmith's who take 2-4 weeks or more to ship a saber.  We have all been so spoiled by Ultrasabers awesomeness that 30 hours seems like a long time.

Agreed.  I'm with you Darshad.  The day is approaching when I will be able to order my Guardian.  I should have just ordered it up front, what I want on it hasn't changed outside of the actual blade color.  Deals like the ones they're running now and this new Maticore distract me from my purpose occasionally, but my next order WILL BE THE GUARDIAN!  :-)

LOL  Or not...
My "Guardian" account continues to acrue, but I was drawn to the RGB offer like a moth...  So I used an unexpected bonus to scratch two other itches at once.
On the way: a stunt Bellicose with RGB.  No other features. 

So now, NOW my NEXT order will be the Guardian.  Yeah...

I'll have to see about doing a real review of this one.  I've heard a lot about the RGB sabers.  I am very excited to add one to my own collections.

And the next one WILL be my Guardian!  IT WILL IT WILL IT WILL...

You will like it.  I have a Dark War Glaive with RGB and I am a fan.  Nothing like being able to go from light side to dark side at the push of a button, and the Bellicose is perfect for that because it looks like it can be a light or dark saber.  I don't have one yet but it's on my wantlist.

I couldn't help myself. I convinced myself to purchase the Graflex in Guardian Blue. There is something about the classic Ep IV saber since it was the first one we all saw. So I had to get it.

That will be neat to see.  The Graflex is probably one of the most iconic sabers, and I agree that when you get it, you almost HAVE to get it in GB or AB.  :-)
Can't wait to see it next to its cousin, either.

That will be neat to see.  The Graflex is probably one of the most iconic sabers, and I agree that when you get it, you almost HAVE to get it in GB or AB.  :-)
Can't wait to see it next to its cousin, either.
i agree I have it with the 4 channel Emerald driver and I change my colors often yet it always seems to go back to that iconic blue:).

Depending how quickly it clears through Memphis, my package might even arrive on Monday, which would be much earlier than I was expecting.

I was considering to either buy an emerald Consular with sound or an RGB Overlord with sound as my first Ultrasaber.

The summer sale with today's deal of the day sealed it for me: I've ordered the RGB Overlord.

Now we wait to see how long until it ships, and then until it gets delivered to The Netherlands. It would be nice if it made it here before the second of August. ;D

Oh, it won't take that long, I think :D My sabers arrived within 10 days after ordering, and I live in Germany...just to get an idea of their building and shipping speed. They're damn fast...when they're not attending cons and out of office, of course ;)

Same thought has crossed my mind, which is why mine will be leather wrapped or Carbon fiber wrapped with 3M. Blade color Sentinel Yellow with an arctic blue pulse and PO FoC. Having such a hard time deciding between the samurai inspired leather wrap and the Carbon fiber. Either way the nickel will provide a very sey contrast! 8)

I have been contemplating a leather wrap as well. I think it would be a nice touch for such a classy saber. I want to go with a color I don't have yet, so I'm thinking BR with SY FoC.

BR will look good for sure ;D and Sentinel Yellow is just a naturally good look with Nickel. Jealousy is setting up camp at my house until Christmas when I can afford my next two emeralds. I only hope it's still available...If not then my Guardian in Nickel will come in its place...And I'm quite fine with that. 8) but it would be cool if the CE was still available so I can have both! ::)

My saber shipped!

According to FedEx tracking, it will be delivered on a day that I'm not home though.
I'm trying to figure out if you can change that but the FedEx site isn't the most intuitive.
I've sent them a mail as the FedEx customer service only seems to be available on business hours.

You can have it held at a fedex location near you if you want. You just have to request it on the tracking page.

Recieved my latest:  Bellicose RGB stunt. 
Ordered it Thursday, had it at noon today.  Can't really beat that.  :-)

I will be doing a few very minor modifications to this one.  I am very visual, so I will be doing a very small mod to the switches so I have no issues telling them apart.
I may also add a leather wrap, I can't decide.  It looks so nice as-is, I hate to mess around with it.

....grab bag saber, my first US (and indeed lightsaber of any kind) purchase.  Ordered at 1pm, haven't heard back yet other than initial confirmation.  Specified a blade color; hope that doesn't add much to the process time-wise, but we shall see.  I have faith in Ultrasabers.

Just ordered my first saber; picked US because of the support I have received regarding all my questions.  Loved being able to get an email back the same day and was never just pointed to a post here or a video there.  Emory may have sent a link or two to answer, but always included a personal note as to why/how/etc... 

I hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot; but I went all out for a first saber.  An Emerald Saber with sound and all the upgrades!   :o

Now, every time my phone signals me that I have received an email I quickly have to check to see if it's from US with my tracking number on the shipment! 
The wait is killing me and it hasn't even been 24hrs since placing the order!!!

You only have a short amount of time when your posts are editable, and then you can't change them.  I think you only have an hour or so after posting to edit, but I'm not sure.  

Also, does anyone know on average how long it takes for them to do saber modifications?  I sent a couple in for emerald upgrades, they were delivered on the 7th and I haven't had any contact after that.  I'm not in any big hurry, just wondering if there is a ballpark figure on how long it takes.

Waiting on a Shock LE in SY (was planning on getting AE + color discs until I realized that would ruin the FOC color) with FOC, sound, and a yellow switch. This will be my third saber, but my first with sound, so I'm quite excited about it.

I also ordered a grab bag with no blade and random color with it, which got my order to the free initiate level. I asked for the free initiate in BR, so we'll see if they honor my request.

I was surprised at how quickly the order was shipped (within 24 hours), and am looking forward to receiving the goods on Friday.

Is the 24 hour period typical for them? Its been about 46 for me, and its still processing. This is my first saber so I'm a bit nervous, I suppose the Emerald might be the hold up, but I could use some reassurance about now.

You got that right..  Jumped in feet first; never bothered to check the water!  HAHA 

I want to say I settled for the Crimson Scorpion.  But I use the term settled only because it was such a tough decision.  Almost went with the Crimson Reaper; really liked the Chosen One too.  May have to start a collection!   ;D

Update to my last post; about 6pm I received two emails.  One from US and one from FedEx.   Package is en-route!  Should be here by Friday.

I have things like this delivered to me at work; just so I don't have to chase down a missed delivery tag left on my door. 
Looks like I am out of luck today though.  FedEx delivers early in the AM and again by 3pm if we have anything.  Tracker still hasn't changed since last night.
I am half tempted to drop by the FedEx facility after work and pick it up myself.   However I can't complain too loud.  I placed the order Monday and it shipped Tues evening.  Can't expect anything faster than that!  Too bad I didn't pay to upgrade to next day delivery though!

AC, I am with you.  I invariably upgrade to two-day delivery, its only a couple of bucks more and it saves me some anguish over delivery time uncertainty.
I also get mine delivered to work to avoid missed delivery hassels.  Plus my boss is a SW fan and he enjoys seeing the new purchases as well.

I'm trying to get him into the club as it were, but no luck yet.  Apparently he has more self control than I do.  Probably why he's the Big Boss and I'm only a little assistant boss...  :-)

I'm kind of shocked - impressed!  I am glad I went with the Emerald though; first impression is that I am not really happy with the color I chose.  But, at least I can tweak it to my liking!  It's a lot heavier than I expected too. 

I will have to do some reading on how to get the battery/speaker/etc out to access the USB ports; but that shouldn't be too difficult.



Honbuna;  Quick Question for you...
Did you just modify a blade plug?  I should have ordered an extra or two.  Maybe the local hardware shop will have something similar and I can make my own....

AC, make sure you charge your batteries up before you start messing around with it.  It would be annoying for the saber to die while you were fiddling with it, and flat batteries can affect the color of the LEDs if they weaken.

Otherwise, enjoy!

Very Wierd.
Yesterday The speaker/battery assembly would barely budge.  Today however it slid right out with a small tap in my palm. 

Got the batteries charging now.  So I thought I would look at changing the colors on the Emerald.  I didn't buy a cable from US because I have em all over the house.   However, now when you need one I cannot find one to save my life!  Lots of micro USB but no MINIs to be found anywhere!  Just my luck!  HAHA

I do have one problem, the top retention screw looks like it was tightened with a wrench, the decorative threading along the top is smeared, and its shape has been slightly deformed, whats worse is that I cant budge it with my hands.

So I sent Ultrasabers an email today detailing the problem, one of the big reasons I decided to go with an ultrasaber over the other options was how excellent their customer service is reported to be, I just hope it lives up to the hype.

I can attest to their customer service. The electronics in my saber went bad a day after receiving it. I emailed emory and sent back my saber for repairs and got it back all within a week. I did have to pay $12 to ship my saber back to US for the repairs but I sent my saber without the batteries and they sent it back with a freshly charged pair so now I have backups. So it worked out even

Well folks, kinda new to the whole lightsaber/ultrasabers thing. Bought one last Halloween that was quickly commandeered by my nephew and no longer works lol so I'm hoping to get that one fixed in the future.

Anyway, I just ordered a yari extension with an Initiate V3 with sound and that's what I'm waiting on. Hoping to do some kind of custom saber staff type of thing. Got the extra free initiate too so I'm hoping it's a dark version so I can experiment more with customizations  ::)

Anytime you know you have a package coming and won't be home, you can leave a note on the door authorizing FedEx to leave your package and sign the note.  That has worked for me all but one time.  That won't do you any good right now, but just for future reference.

Just ordered my first ever Obsidian Saber for my (also first ever) raffle entry! Dark Prophecy in Fire Orange with Guardian Blue Flash on Clash and Guardian Blue AV switch as well. Mentioned this in another post but I actually have no idea if the orange and blue combo on a black hilt will look decent.

oo that should look really interesting. hopefully will be sick.

i just ordered the archon v2 in consular green with silver flash on clash. with sound of course and a green av switch. pretty much the star wars VI luke lightsaber. cant wait to get it. also.. who knows about the raffle ;)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Relan Tarel jedi kinght on July 27, 2014, 12:45:55 PM
It may not work the way you think. Normally there is a chart at the bottom of every pahe for sabers with sound showing the colors and there compatable foc colors. Another reason is the way the colors mix when the flash is actavated. For instince you have slected orange, witch is green and red then adding blue will give you a white ish to purple ish flash. Seeing as you slected a color that wasn't on fire orange's list ultrasabers will probly slect a compatable  color.

Other than that I can't wait to see a dark prophacy in fire orange.

Yes, blue FoC is not available for an orange blade. Here is the link to the chart for compatible colors: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=3652.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=3652.0)

The only way to make that happen would be to get an Emerald Driver.

Ha, thanks folks. Actually realized last night it wasn't compatible. That's what happens when you order a lightsaber at 2am I guess lol. I sent an email to Emory asking if it can be switched to Either BR or PO, whatever is a more natural transition from regular Fire Orange. Points to both Sedsti and Relan for helping a guy out!

Let me know how that works out. 
A fully tricked out Mantis is going to be awesome though.  Can't fault you for that purchase.

I'm currently waiting on a Dominix LE V2 in FO I bought off Ebay for $55.  I got one in BR already so I'll get a coupler with my next order and staff these babies up.

Just ordered two grab bags with heavy grade blades to try out. One green and one blue. Going to phases of the moon festival Sept 11. Four days of music and my buddy's porch is five minute walk through woods. I wanted to have a saber for everyone walking, so got a couple extra for a reasonable price. Plus at a festival, I might be able to sell and re-capitalize the grab bags for a dark prophecy afterwards. Its going to be sweet.

One hour to go until home time, then when I get in (an hour after that.. drat working in the city), we're going to record an unboxing video then do a video review of all our sabers. I'll post it up some pictures tonight then the reviews in a few days :) :) :)

Hi T-A and welcome.  It is a long wait and no matter how many sabers you eventually own... the time between ordering and receiving is tough.  I think that you will really like your Dominix.  The black with silver grooves looks impactful.  The GB colored blade shows off great with a black hilt.  My first was the silver Aeon LE version but I have both.  I tend to like black/silver hilts more.  You should find this hilt both comfortable and suitable for spinning and combat.  Here's a light point for conquering excruciatingly painful patience.   :)

Maybe tomorrow I ordered mine on the 29th. So tomorrow-Monday, don't know how much overtime they'll be putting in to get caught up on all of the orders. Ultra, Deep, once again we express our appreciation for the tremendous amount of effort you put into the best sabers in the universe:).

First saber that isn't plastic and from walmart. Ordered a grab bag, but if everything goes well I intend to get a mantis with sound later, or another if they make a new curved hilt before I get to buying

WOOT!

Just got a "Your Order Has Shipped" email for the order I placed on Aug 19!

Hopefully others will soon be receiving the joyous news as well!

WOOT x 2!

There are definitely perks to living in the same state as US!

My Graflex has arrived! And is already undergoing open-saber surgery! Something I do not recommend to the faint of heart!

I transplanted the internals (Obsidian, Guardian Blue w Silver FoC) from my Overlord into the Graflex. And will be putting the stunt guts (VA w Li Ion) into the Overlord.

While I liked my Overlord, I'd rather have the sound and foc feature on the Graflex.

Plus I'm kind of a tinkerer.. and on the upside, I now know how hard it is to take apart a Graflex. ;-)

Just ordered my first two sabers ever. Both are double-bladed sabers.

I can't wait until they arrive. Hopefully it doesn't take them long to make them and send them over to Canada.

I finally broke down and sent Emory an email, just to make sure the order was OK.  He found it and shipped last night, so I'll have my grab-bag Thursday! 
Amazingly, the waiting becomes HARDER when there's a set relief date... 

This is my first totally random grab bag, so I'm kinda geeked about getting it and finding out what it is.  I can't decide if I'll be happier with one of the higher-end sabers that have been popping up (Dark Prophecy) or an Aeon V2 or V3...  Whatever it is, it will be great!

I placed an order yesterday so it could be a day or two before it ships.  Nonetheless, I am impatiently waiting for 2 stunt sabers, one of which is a grab bag for me, so that's always exciting.

It's been a good mail week or two though.  I've received:  Jedi brown robe, 24 Tenergy Premium high quality rechargeable NiMh AAA batteries, killer Nitecore I4 intelligent battery charger and some extra small saber parts.  Those orders didnt come from US, but if they sold all of those things they would have, haha.

Now...to wait some more, for my order with UltraSabers.

My first Ultrasaber- ordered an Emerald Dark War Glaive with sound on 9-6, and shipped on 9-10. The website said ships within 2-3 weeks, so I was pleasantly surprised when it shipped in 4 days. Will probably order a regular Scorpion with sound in Blazing Red, and silver AV switch on payday to count towards the summer raffle 2.

Ugh, Fedex messed up TWICE, both yesterday and today, didn't leave my order at the door as I requested in writing.  The Fedex place is like 2 miles from my office.  Knowing that my 2 new sabers are sitting in that building overnight AGAIN tonight makes me...rather...disappointed.

Just ordered two sabers; a Dark Initiate V3 with DVA and 32" blade for me and a Dominix LE v3 with BR for a friend, no sound on either. Our first sabers!
I just wanted a simple saber to begin with, I'm gonna combine combat with freerunning/tricking... Sith style. Already have my costume done, posting pics later. ;) Probably gonna customize the hilt as well, add some leather and a shroud, maybe some chainmail as well.
As for my friend I'm not really sure why he wanted that saber, guess he wanted to go two handed and liked the look of it!
Also I live in Sweden, so now the wait begins...

Post by: Ziran Le on September 26, 2014, 03:38:18 PM
DI V3 in DVA will look awesome and should be perfect for your intended use.  If you want a small, lightweight, maneuverable hilt the Dark Initiate is a perfect way to go.  I'm sure that you'll love the way it feels in your hand and it should be great for your parkour needs.

Alas, alas... Still sitting at Stansted. I'll get them on Monday, which is when they're due, but I've just been spoiled by the last 4 or 5 orders showing up early. I can't complain (well, I can, but quietly and to myself).

So it is, yet again, time to (im)patiently wait for my newest order. :D
An Emerald Catalyst, with a load of features on it.
Although I know from experience that they do, I am curious if the guys at US can work my extra wishes such as a different soundfont or pulse times into the saber, despite the fact that I could change those things later myself. ^^"

The idea to order this particular saber came up when I thought about a crossover costume of Star Wars and the Zelda franchise. :D
The sleek, pure and also somewhat neutral design of this saber make it a great base to "convert" it into any other type of either "good" or "evil".

Hi Julmax.  You must be a part of triplets to use all these sabers.  And after all the big guns that you have, the lowly little ones are your favorite!   If only a Manticore emitter could fit an Initiate.  :)

I decided to get yet another staff.  Call me crazy, but instead of getting a nice loaded saber, I chose to get more v2's and pay the extra $90 each to get the RGB option on the Phantom LE v2.  And then a grab bag, Malice round pommel, Consular emitter and supplies.  Won't be buying again for awhile cus' our wonderful Canadian dollar is tanking.   Later a xmas present to myself will be non-negotiable.  So will have x4 Initiates.

With the 10of sale and my rewards points it was just under $350, so added in a vented couple and now have a free initiate on the way too!! :D

I left for uni last month with 2 lightsabers (because, you never know when you might need them!!) and i'll be returning home with 6.. My bank account must hate me! :P

David O...  You are really going through your saber wish list at hyper speed.  That Prophecy choice sounds awesome!  Hope you have a great year at university.  You are going to be very popular with those sabers.  I think someone posted that they had to show the sabers to campus security so that sabers were not considered as a weapon.  Hopefully they are SW enthusiasts.   My visa card which likes to be called Master Gold, has been working overtime lately and will be given an extended rest period.   :)

That's exactly what I'd do as well. You can change it to coincide with the type of Sith u want or the faith journey of said Sith. Fun!

I'm somewhat patiently waiting for a grab bag saber. I did it completely random, so I can't wait to see what I get. My sister also wants to get initiates for my nephews for Christmas.

Fedex stopped updating mine at 0530hrs (US time, 11:35 UK) saturday morning, mine has apparently been in transit in memphis since Friday afternoon >.<  wish they could be a bit more specific as to what they mean by that.

That simply means that there is heavy traffic at Memphis and your package hasn't been loaded onto a plane yet. That can sometimes happen, but in most cases of heavy traffic it doesn't take more than three days until your package is on the plane.

I heard about that, too, and I think someone posted this after contacting the FedEx team.

After playing Darth Vader at my children's bday party over the weekend and wielding my Standard Issue in FO, I have come to the realization that I need a BR saber.  It just wasn't the same, and it felt really good to put on the black suit and helmet for the first time.

So, I am impatiently waiting for the funds to order up a Chosen One.  Because really, there isn't any other substitute for the real thing.

This does indeed appear to be the case, as this afternoon (in the midst of one of the most hectic days at work this year, long story) I received an update telling me that my package has made it to the Stanstead depot.

Words cannot describe myexcitement and anticipation. I will not be leaving the house tomorrow AT ALL!   :D ;D

Just received my recent grab bag purchase. I'm now the proud owner of a Prophecy (stunt) in VA. Not sure if I want to couple it up to my other Prophecy and make a staff, or if I want to start customizing it.

Post by: Dauntless Seven on October 21, 2014, 01:37:08 AM
Hi Tal-Rin.  I would be over the moon to get a gb Prophecy in VA.  Will find out what I get tomorrow when parcel arrives.  I sure hope that it's not an Aeon or Dominix cus' I've collected enough of that line.  However a new v4 addition would be most welcome.  Those Prophecies do look like a nice staff and would look good in VA and GB.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Tal-Rin Onjo on October 21, 2014, 02:29:39 AM
Hi Dauntless. I was actually expecting to get an Aeon or Dominix lol. So I was fairly pleased with the Prophecy... its a decent pull for a grab bag! The VA looks great, its not a color I normally would have chosen for myself, so I'm really glad I went random on the LED.A staff would be cool... I might still do it. Yet I'm leaning towards customizing it as its own piece, in a way that can be used by either Sith or Jedi the next time the Pensacola Comic Con rolls around.

*flails* It's cleared Customs!  ;D

Only problem is that I imagine it'll head to the local depot overnight and be out for delivery tomorrow, and I need to go out briefly tomorrow......you know exactly when delivery will be attempted, don't you :P

Excitement also not helped much by watching Ep II this evening  :D

Just received my parcel.  The RGB staff Phantom LE v2 is super and I wish I could take advantage of the Halloween sale on this feature for a Shock with sound since I don't have an Emerald (newer computer but user dinosaur).  Well guess what... I got a gb with a Dominix LE v3 in CG.  At least it wasn't a Standard Issue.  Have a loaded same hilt coming on Thursday so this one may end up being a gift or a donation for fund raising. Mind you, just the thought of that is causing nervous separation anxiety.  :-\  No more Aeon and Dominix (sternly tells self).

My free Initiate is the little brother to the Dominix LE v2 and in AS.  Unexpected nice surprise for the non-color.  Have to say that it is soooo short but I'm sure will be okay for spinning and double single handed sparring.  I generally use two hands and prefer longer hilts.  Customization help on how to lengthen the hilt via a different pommel please.  Know where to buy one or make it?

So all in all am pleased and looking at x4 silver and black sabers is pretty awesome!  One of the v4's would have been a nice gesture to get, but am quite sure that I have to be my own lucky charm for this.   :)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Ziran Le on October 21, 2014, 08:13:19 PM
Cool, Dauntless.  So, lemme get this straight, you received:
1. Phantom LE staff in RGB (that's 2xAeon V2 LE's?)
2. Grab bag = Dominix V3 in Consular Green
3. Free Dark Initiate V2 in Adegan Silver

If that's correct that's a nice order.  I never really considered the Aeon/Dom V2 in RGB but I'm sure that's a versatile choice.

If you decide to keep the AS Initiate and want to try out filters for colors, I recommend yellow or orange as they have good transparency and don't dim the blade too much.  I LOVE my Liberator in AS with canary yellow Roscolux filter.  It's a beautiful color with a standard mid blade.

I would love to have a Bellicose in RGB.  They have been out of stock for a while but it appears that they are back...at a time when I'm broke.
 ;D


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Dauntless Seven on October 21, 2014, 08:45:39 PM
Thanks Ziran Le.  Actually it's the dark Dominix version for the RGB.  One blade's white color is a washed out pale pink while the other is mainly white with a pinker tip.  I wouldn't be using this color.  The AB is not strong but the rest of the colors are good.  I may have got the last dark ones but the lighter version is still available.  Unfortunately had no way of guessing that the RGB would be in the Halloween sale prior to ordering.  Got the sound Dominix (DotD) coming in two days to match my Aeon just incase US is depleting their stock.  Using both for sparring only when I find the right partner.  I definitely will consider a dark Shock if the RGB is on special again.  Would love to have it back in the Prophecy or Manticore.  Guess Emerald has taken over.  I too need to rein in on my purchases for awhile, as the pleasure of being a Canadian is a hindrance when supporting American companies.

I like my lee filters for AS but the blue FoC is not coming through with my golden yellow two different filters.  Not sure if I can buy the Roscolux filters at a store here.   Are they that much better?

Well, since I'm no longer patiently waiting, better get off this thread.   :)

Nice!  I am also waiting on some new LEDs to arrive in the mail.  Going to play around with making our own stunt sabers from PVC with my kiddos, just for fun.  Of course, as soon as the idea was brought up, my 5yo boy asks, "can we make a Darth Maul saber?!" 

Yeah, how do you make a coupler for PVC sabers, haha?  Perhaps I'm going to have to spend some time looking back at old forum posts from when Ultrasabers made PVC sabers.  Should be fun to play around with the internals of the saber for the first time.

Man, it's been a while since I ordered anything :O

I just ordered a War Glaive emitter and Guardian pommel and I'm gonna add those to my Archon V2 :D

I'm gonna just have one claw on there instead of all 4, coz I've always loved the single claw look, like with Dooku's saber and such.

Also, I've ordered some colour discs and I'm gonna mess around with colours, but I'm hoping to make a decent purple, as I've already got Guardian Blue installed in the Archon and I didn't have enough money to order a purple LED haha :\ So for now, colour discs will have to do.

I just got an email saying my order has shipped, so hopefully I'll get it really soon!

Ooops, knew I wouldn't stay off this list for long - Having found the Guardian rather large (definitely a 2-hander) and having low ceilings, I've just ordered a Dark Initiate V3 LE in Fire Orange so that I can have something to practise indoors or in my (teeny tiny) yard with. No sound, just a stunt saber for now   ;D

Now begins the Fedex F5 game again  ::)

Post by: Brian64 on November 05, 2014, 11:34:30 PM
As much as I'm anticipating my newly ordered v4 Dominix LE, I've got a grab bag and a Free RGB in the mix as well. I'm honestly not sure what I'm looking forward to more! Can't wait to see how the new v4 feels, but there's something about mystery sabers that has me waiting impatiently. What hilt? What colour? Guess I'll find out before long. I like my RGB Shock and RGB Dark Shock, and while I'm hoping for a different RGB hilt I'm certainly not going to be disappointed in getting another if that's what turns up.

Since a sale is going on right now, I'll be ordering my new sabers on monday. I'm getting a Dark Prophecy to be my Sith Saber, two Dark Initiates for my Xemnas cosplay, and the free RGB Saber they're offering. Speaking of, has anyone else here gotten a free RGB? I'd like to get a guess on what hilt it'll be. I'm assuming one of the cheaper ones since it's a giveaway, so the Raven and Bellicose are out.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Sparrowhawk on November 09, 2014, 09:59:29 PM
I placed my order yesterday for my very first saber ever.  I've been lurking and waiting for the right time to buy one, so I just couldn't resist when the free RGB and 10% off offers came up!

I ordered an Emerald (RGBW) Manticore CE with high silver finish, Obsidian sound, non-illuminated A/V switch, high pommel, with an Ultraedge blade.  I asked for the silver Covertech wheel to be intalled on the opposite side of the hilt as the A/V switch, and placed 1 inch from the pommel.  I also bought a few alternate pommels and emitters to maximum the utility of the awesome Manticore body.  This is the reason why I went with the high silver finish, as opposed to the Nickel plating: I want the alternate pommels and emitters to match the body.

For the free RGB saber, I asked (fingers crossed) for a Midgrade blade to be included, as I've read on these boards that the Midgrade shows certain colors better.  I will report back with what kind of saber they gave me as the free RGB.  And I'll post pics once I receive the sabers and can figure out how to post pics!

Wouldn't you know it. As soon as the RGB deal ends, the Raffle starts. Eh, I didn't want to wait too long, and I'd rather have something guaranteed than just by chance. I picked the V2 initiates because of their smaller size. Since I'm cosplaying Xemnas, the hilts need to go up my sleeves, so the small handles will give me more freedom of movement.

It may have to be till the next raffle before i buy another though..

Hi Brian.  What a nice bunch of sabers.  That definitely is a two-tone black anodized v2 Aeon.  I really like the look of this.  Even more than my v2 LE Phantom/Dominix RGB staff.  I think that you are really going to enjoy this saber.  And I like the colored buttons.  Congratulations.   :)

That Free RGB looks great!  I'm hoping I get something similar.  If I get the same saber, I want to make it a staff.  But I wonder if US will allow to me order a two-tone black anodized v2 Aeon by itself?

Well I have another Free RGB due Wednesday with my v4 Phantasm LE, and I figure I can't lose. If I get another like the two tone Aeon then I can make a great RGB staff, and if I get another RGB Shock or Dark Shock, then same thing - I can make a staff with it. On the other hand if it's different model to those then I'll have another new RGB saber!  I seriously can't lose no matter what RGB saber arrives!

Can't wait for Wednesday. :)

According to the tracking, I'll have mine in hand by tomorrow. I'm hoping that my RGB is a Prophecy to go with my Dark Prophecy, but I know the chances are slim to none since it's a bit more expensive than the Aeon or Initiates, and the RGb for that model is no longer available. But I can hope.

That would be cool - Ive already got a couple and an Initiate LE V3 in VA though, so I was thinking a nice purple/orange saberstaff. If ever you come to the UK though you'll have to take your DI with you! :P


*laughs heartily* Look 120 miles south *waves from Oxfordshire* :P   I was mulling over an LE V3 in CG, getting a black and silver adjustable coupler & splitting them to give half black, half silver to make a staff with the DI (coupler parts would be on their colour counterparts, so the 4 sections would go black-silver coupler-black coupler-silver  8)  )

This will be my 3rd, though I imagine if there's another Halloween style offer on the emerald & recharge ports again, that it'll become 4   ::)

Ahh, Oxfordshire! Got some friends from rural oxford - I hear its a nice place (although not as nice as Cambridge, my home town :P )

That sounds like a neat idea! Yeah im in a way really looking forward to/dreading the next sales - Ive spent nigh on £600 alone on sabers recently, which is terrifying.. Im supposed to be a student..! (waves goodbye to student loan..)

My new saber will be here Wednesday but the wait still sucks for me. Lol. Been wanting a new saber all year and finally got one. I should come to the UK and duel you guys. :P I'm all the way in Ohio though. Kinda boring out here. No saber nuts besides me it seems. Lol

So been forever since I was on here, and since I was on here I ordered a grab bag for a friend for his nephews birthday, that was like just before the RGB giveaway. Now my brother has gone and got a Phantasm v4 LE in fire orange to split with me, and entered the raffle I really hope we get an Azure Mantis I've been trying to get my hands on one of those since they came out but my Datsun/Nissan 720 has kept saber money just out of sight:(.

So, I just got a message that a FaceBook friend of mine in the US with some mad sewing skillz has just purchased the label for a costume I requisitioned a while back. It's an RoTJ Luke outfit rather than the standard Jedi ensemble, but I'll need to find some boots to go with it. Can't wait to see how it turned out. Hopefully won't need too much adjusting but there is bound to be some required.

Hoping my sabers arrive today. Apparently, Fed Ex doesn't ship mondays, otherwise I'd have them by now. Is it bad that I'm more excited for my free RGB than I am the customized Dark Prophecy I paid almost 300 for?

No, that's completely normal :D In fact, you never know what you get when dealing with those free saber promos (the same goes for Grab Bags). That makes the difference :D

I agree, the randomness of the saber makes you excited for it.  It's why I love raffles so much.

My sabers came in! I got the Dominix V2 for my RGB. I also got a new blade for my Dark Catalyst. I knocked the tip off my old one, so I'mma make two smaller blades out of it. That extra 4 inches REALLY makes a weight difference. Here's pics of all my Sabers.
Lights off

Lights on so you can see the handles better.
(http://i576.photobucket.com/albums/ss207/MetalSkullGreymon/1118141422_zps2b56410d.jpg)
The Dominix has all the colors turned on, so it's bright pink.
I just got the Dark Prophecy, Dark Initiates and Dominix. The Dark Catalyst was my first saber. I need to get some longer blades for my Initiates for my Xemnas cosplay.

Honestly to me, it's an 11 out of 10 for how awesome it is.  It just feels right every time I hold it and it'll go toe to toe with anything out there(well, all US will :)).  If I could only have one, this would be it.

Post by: Kyyanno on November 22, 2014, 06:19:07 AM
Crikey, here comes a list and a half.... currently waiting for:-

1) Archon 2.1 in SRD with Silver FoC - This was my raffle entry purchase, of which I was lucky enough to win 3rd prize! (I never win anything usually, over the moon here!  ;D )

2) Unknown Hilt as Raffle prize in either BR with FO FoC or GB with VA FoC - I was cheeky and e-mailed Emory to ask if, rather than have to incur two sets of International shipping costs to send the saber back for retrofit in future (they're not cheap!), I could pay the extra needed to upgrade my prize to include Sound as well. This was indeed possible so it's happening, but as I don't know what Hilt I have won (and Emory won't say, fair play to him  :D  ), I've given US the choice of colour depending on if they think the hilt is either dark/sith-esque or more light/Jedi-esque.

3) Initiate V3 LE in CG with FO FoC - this is going to be combined with my stunt DI V3 LE, half a silver adjustable coupler and half a black adj. coupler to form a phantom with alternating black/silver sections, kind of a balanced dark/light side staff. The cost of this order, combined with the requisition costs for the upgrade to (2) means that, due to current offers.....

4) GRAB BAG SABER - Yup, the costs bumped me over the $400, so I was eligible for a Grab bag under the current offer as well.

4 sabers in one shipment - it's going to be like early christmas when this one arrives! *reinforces the F5 key* 

I cannot thank Emory and US enough for their excellent customer service!

Yeah, I think I need that Saberholics Anonymous group now.....

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hello Dauntless, I decided that, except for the wallet problem, I don't have any addiction problem and figured I would accept myself the way I am...  ;) Oh and I picked up a used RGBW Archon from somebody in Montreal who was ''almost'' giving it away  ;D So I feel good right now.

Thanks! I have many GB sabers but none with VA flash so I'm excited to try it out. I think it will go nicely on the a Guardian. The funny thing is it wasn't on my short list of sabers, but for the deal it seemed too good to pass up considering how many great things I've heard about it.

New Dark Liberator in Emerald Green, went with another stunt like always, and first real Twin Roses Jedi set. :D Got the Oatmeal Osnaburg Jedi Style Tunic Set and requested the inner tunic to be a white or beige color. My bro didn't want a new saber after all so. I treated myself but I do plan to get him something. He's more of a Dr. Who nut than Star Wars. Lol. Anyway, can't wait to get my 2 big things. :P

Yup. And a different color this time for once too. I'll be good for awhile. Its like starting all over again but with Jedi colors. I will have a Blazing Red saber at some point again though. :P Definitely Pyrestone Orange. Heard that color is sexy on any blade.

Pyrestone Orange is definitely a must-have colour ;D Since I set my Archon to PO some time ago (about half a year now) I haven't changed it...just too happy with PO ;D And IMO much more intimidating than a simple BR blade ;)

I got my Emerald saber in February this year, so it's actually almost a year now that the Emerald Drivers were released...
Normally forum colours shouldn't take any longer than normal colours...maybe US is just overloaded with orders right now :D Christmas and all

I ordered my emerald Graflex last November so it has been out for over a year now.

SUCKER!!! It's a gift to yourself. you already know what your getting. Delayed gratifcation would only a rational decision if you were playing up a child's belief in Santa Claus, and feigning that he brought you the saber. Otherwise you're just a masochist.

Haha, peer pressure!? Its partially from my brother. I bought him a dark war glaive with black claws, srd, silver foc, non illuminated switch (pics to come after he opens it). He asked what I wanted n he can't be the only one getting a saber for Christmas, so I told him to throw down on a grab bag with me.

How long does processing for sound sabers take? When I ordered my grab bag, it processed within 12 hours. Obviously, putting together the sound saber takes a decent bit more time. How long does it usually take?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!

Expect a processing time between 24h and 48h for a sound saber, that's what I experienced so far :)

Hi all!  The Force will be with us once again on Saturday, according to FedEx.  I've got an stunt CG Initiate V4 with windows heading my way as a Christmas gift for my oldest son.  Can't wait to see the new V4 line for myself!  My first DVA Initiate V3 remains my favorite, but I have high hopes for this one.

It took everything I had to not order something new for myself, though I can see myself with an SY Sentinel with sound as soon as I can convince my wife that our house becomes a safer place to be with every additional saber purchased.  Anyone seen that combo yet?  Until then, I may as well confess that the Initiate will be coming with a 36 inch blade that my son can "grow into."  This has absolutely nothing to do with my intent to use it when he's not around, but if it did, I know I can trust you guys to keep a secret.

HA HA, SUCKER. I'm tellin'. JK, I won't, because I can totally sympathize. If I didn't have others to buy for this month, a brand new CG Archon would be heading my way. But as a small consilation, I'm buying a Dark Initiate LE V4 and an Apprentice LE both AS w/ color disks for a couple of my friends kids that dig mine, so I'll get to play...I mean test drive two new models, plus see how well the colors work. Not a total loss.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Ceb Yil on December 11, 2014, 05:33:20 PM
Ahh, the pain of having to buy for others.  But hey, its for the children, right?  If you can, I'd appreciate your impressions of the Apprentice after taking her for a test drive since I'm looking for that Sentinel at some point in the near future.  I hope it's as comfortable to swing around as it looks!

I did email Emory when I got home from work last night. He said it would probably 3 to 4 days for it to come back in stock.I actually like the look of the apprentice/sentinel staff more than the phantom but wasn't sure if it was as comfortable. I always hear people talking about how great the dominix/phantom v4 sabers feel.

Hate to hear that, guys.  In the words of the formidable Jedi Master Tom Petty, the waiting is the hardest part.   I'm going to presume that the delay is attributable to US's existing stock on the sabers ordered.  My V4 Initiate was processed and shipped the same day.

Heck, maybe I just got lucky given the time of year.  Regardless, may the package gods be swift for you guys!

I'm back, after a break of over a year! The new v4 sabers look fantastic, so naturally I couldn't resist ordering one. I've gone and got myself the Apprentice with sound in CG- I've been wanting a shorter hilt but I was never a fan of the Initiate- the Apprentice with windows is exactly what I was looking for.

I can't wait, I only hope Christmas shipping busy-ness doesn't hold it up too much when it reaches the UK!

I'm awaiting a dark LE flamberge, BRx3, emerald and obsidian.
 Spent a couple of days mixing audio files and faffing about getting a sound font set up, and now i'm jigging about waiting for something to put it in! But still, free saber coming along with it, and it depends what it is as to whether it goes to a friend or gets snaffled by my own greedy paws..

 As an amateur (is there any other kind?) HEMA practitioner it pleases me greatly to see a crossguard appear at last, it only took the star wars universe since 1977 to come up with something that's been around for a millenium!

 Ahhh, but this way disney take all the flack, and i get to have the saber i want without paying for custom work ;)

 Alas i am no machinist, and wouldn't know where to begin on creating something like that, although it'd definitely be a cool project. One thing that i plan on doing also is using the same saber with one guard plugged and the emerald on a different colour; use a midgrade blade for the main beam and you've got something approximating a (unusually angular) sabre!

I'm eagerly awaiting my first 'saber, a LE Flamberge w/ CG, and I'm trying not to freak out with excitement but I've not been very successful!! I've been checking the My Account every day, multiple times, and it still says "Processing"... :'(

Oh well, I know the wait will be well worth it!!

It is always trying waiting for that first saber to come in. Just make sure you have some spare pants handy when it does, 'cause you will wet yourself once you hold it.

Been poking around this forum since 2012.  Just placed my very first order for my fully featured RGB Overlord with a free Initiate as the cherry on top.  Just a little bit longer... ;D ;D ;D

Must be really killing you, this is your second post about it. Although you just gave me an inspired idea. I haven't been terribly keen on the Crimson and Azure saber. But I just thought, how sweet looking would it be if you could get a Shock LE in Crimson or Azure instead of the gold?  :o Who's with me, maaannn?

Yes. Tell me those wouldn't sell. I would actually be tempted to get a Crimson Shock, if it were available. It's a crying shame they haven't figured out a way to multi-color anodize. Could you imagine red and black on the same hilt?

Bought a VP1 Charger w/ batteries, an additional battery charger, and about 4 extra batteries as well to replace the depleted ones I know I have.

I spent all 1495 of my reward points for about $74 (been saving it up for a good 3 years now).  I only had to pay around $10.

I feel ya. I about crapped myself when my Archon went from Texas to South Bend, IN over the weekend (including moving on Sunday), but FedEx's Tracking system had the ETA another 2 days out, to move the package another 10 miles. It drove me nuts. Thankfully it only took one last day to deliver.

I ordered my Apprentice v4 in SRD on Monday, and I'm quite literally pacing the floor. I really need to start tracking it, but the real dilemma is coming home, looking at the window, and seeing that it's not here after hoping that it would be. This is my first Ultrasaber, and I'm growing more and more exited by the day, gah! I hope it will arrive tomorrow, and if not, the cycle starts all over again. Any estimations on when you think it will arrive? I'm in the US (Southeast: FL) and I hope I can get it as soon as possible. I've been filling myself with info, and I just need the saber to put that knowledge to good use.

Well Qui-Lar, since you asked, would really like to see an Azure Menace with HoP blade, silver FoC and illuminated av switch, silver underlay with windows and all screws in silver.   Or a silver Prophecy with pink blade and AS FoC or DVA blade with BH FoC.  One of these versions should be my next saber... but then there is the Archon and...  :-\  ::)  :(

Ha ha!  What a good husband you are.  ;)   Some wives like to shop for shoes and clothes, but me?  Lighsabers and Star Wars merch.  I'd say I'm a cheap date, but considering the saber I just bought, that would be a lie! 

Wonder what you'll name this one?  :)

It will "tell me" when I hold it for the first time.  I knew right away with Massive Attack.   The Sentinel took a while to "tell me" its name (and I got it wrong at first), but I have a feeling this Guardian and I will vibe immediately.  ;)

Not it...at least not yet.>:D

You paid for overnight shipping? And I thought I was impatient.

Does anyone know if US is particularly swamped currently? I placed an order 2 days ago, and FedEx still doesn't have it yet. I've never known them to take this long to ship.

Think they were at a Con this last weekend?..... and I'm guessing they're still making up all those Flamberge pre-orders to get them sent out in 1 hit..... My last order took 2 days from order to shipping notification, still a quick turn around in my book....  :)

If I had checked the tracking last night I could have had my saber today.  Is it stands, I did not know to put a note on the door so I will have to wait for tomorrow.  Even being a state away that's pretty impressive, shipped on Wednesday and delivery on Thursday.

I ordered Monday, it's now Thursday, and still processing. Which is actually fortunate. Can anyone tell me if the Menace emitter is compatable with the Reaper?

I just write a note saying to leave my package, sign it and tape it to the door.  It has worked all but one time.  Unfortunately I didn't know I needed to leave the note until I was already at work.   :-[

Ah well.  A shiny new saber is a good way to kick off the weekend anyway.

Damn straight. Then you don't have to leave it to go to work. I don't anyway. I clip it and bring my new sabers to sit on my desk distracting me for the first week before I leave them at home. It helps with separation anxiety.

Yes, it should be. Both are MHS sabers, so the parts are interchangeable.

I thought about it this morning on my way to work, and didn't have the chance to check mine at home. I need to know if the blade screws are up high enough to miss the MLS. All I know of the Reaper is that disconnects can't fit, so it worries me about if the 2 are compatible, and if not can I change my order before it ships.

The MLS always sits below the threads of the emitter making any MHS emitter work fine on the Reaper.

OK, thanks. But I also just got word from Emory. I based my concern on viewing a modded Reaper. The AV appeared to leave very little space for the MLS (non-flanged type), which I thought would fit into the emitter. Like on the Mantis.

 Ouch, yeah, i was the same with my first saber, i ordered it with the mindset of "Oh it'll just be a week or so in shipping, it'll be fine", and after about a day i was itching to hold it. Half of the problem being this side of pond is just the waiting, even if it shipped two days ago you might have a week to wait if customs gets iffy :P

The friend I just bought a saber for, had ordered a Grab Bag for a friend of hers. So she got her order yesterday and started playing with it, despite my warning that it was just going to make the wait for hers all the more unbearable. She later confessed that I was right.

This is true, and he want's an RGB. But still, he's excited for this saber as well, and he's pretty lenient. I'm sure he'd cut me some slack. Plus I could make it up to him with an extra blade or something. Plus, my tax returns are still on their way, so there's that.

My initial plan was to staff w/ emerald. But due to impatience and the discovery of Disconnects and the birth of the Menace, I chose a less expensive path. The afformentioned staff would have been over $1000 after shipping.

Now to convince one of my friends they too need a saber.

Well who doesn't want an intimate staff for themselves? ;)

  I was looking at a staff recently as well actually, a phantasm v4, but having handled a v3 dominix recently, i think that's changed. I'm now more interested in a phantasm v3, with LE on both ends.
 Plus, the price offsets, no windows on the v3 makes it a little cheaper too ;D

Tell me about it. That's why I had been reluctant to get the Manti. But now my impatience is further riled, because US is hanging out @ Wonder-Con, so it'll probably be the better part of the week before I get shipping confirmation. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

That sounds like silly fun.
Now to convince one of my friends they too need a saber.

I've been looking at an initiate staff for myself. (Autocorrect wanted to turn initiate into intimate and I had a silly laugh)


I texted the exact same friend that I just gotten my "free intimate" in the mail (thanks, autocorrect), except I didn't notice the error in time.  It took me a long while to figure out why her text back was something along the lines of, "Now THAT'S customer service!!"

Said-friend also fancies herself a pink Sith and I assure you, she most certainly pulls it off.  I am 110% certain she will order a hot pink staff, although I think Bane's Heart would be cooler.  ;)  I will inform her that she needs to hurry up so she can make the raffle!

I've seen the so-called "hot pink" color. It's more pink-pink, like carnation pink. Bane's Heart is more a hot pink or bright magenta-ish. You might want to tell your friend before she makes a potentially bad choice.

I showed her the difference with Master Kenobi, since the driver is R+B.  But honestly, she really likes true pink.  Like, bubblegum pink. 

I think Bane's Heart is pretty badass myself.  And I don't even LIKE pink!  I'm also 100% sure her staff will not only be taller than me, it will be taller than she is and she's quite tall.

yup... Waiting bites..... Waiting on FedEx to attempt redelivery of my Chosen One.... We tried to meet the driver on Saturday (as we had out of town family plans).... Never got a call from the driver despite multiple calls to the local hub..... So he wasted 2+ hours driving out to the boonies..... Sigh....

A bane's heart staff would be pretty awesome, it's such a good color.
Yeah, she definitely needs to get in on that raffle, she needs to post here more though.

That's what will become of my Menace CE. I specced it in BH w/ disconnects of course. But the first half looks sweet...even if it is pink.

Yeah, it took me a little while to realize they're out, when I didn't get a shipping email over the weekend. The same thing happened when I ordered my friend hers. She was chompin' at the bit for over a week.

It's a stunt saber needed for practice, and to fit my character, a Dark Initiate V3 in FO.

Well it was going to be a Guardian w/Nickel shroud, but the Guardian is out of stock for a few weeks and I was keen to enter my first US raffle...

So I went with the Consular instead, Emerald & Obsidian, shipping in Consular Green, w/Dark Violet Amethyst Flash on Clash (tho I'll probably change it to silver FoC when I get it, was just keen to see how it would look with DVA!
Also went for a Red AV Switch so it is a little closer to the movie if not an exact copy ;)

Paid the few extra bucks for the priority international shipping because there is a limit to how patient I can be...

Priority international is pretty damn fast, if i could have afforded to use it to send my saber back in with i would have done, the whole turnaround would only be a about a week that way :P

 I think it took three days, including the day it was sent and the day it was delivered :P

That's from the USA to the UK

Yeah that happened with my first US, ordered on a Sunday, it was delivered in the UK on the Wednesday! Whereas the standard shipping which I used for my second US was only about $6 bucks cheaper and took over a week, still pretty good - but more of a test of my patience  ;D

Great choice, Furious. It's going to look fantastic, and I can say that for certain (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=21722.0) ;)

It was the perfect storm for my first purchase: Archon on sale, with discount, and entry into the raffle.  So, Archon 2.1 w/sound, Arctic Blue w/quick disconnects, and Silver AV switch being shipped out this morning.  The forum members and Emory have been super helpful and I am so excited to finally try this out. 

When I first looked at US, I thought "there's no way I can justify spending that kind of money on a glorified flashlight."  Which quickly changed into "well, it definitely is more expensive than the Force FX I had my eye on;" that changed to "Ok, if I'm only going to get one lightsaber, then it better be a high quality one;" which morphed into "Ok, for my first Ultrasaber, I'll get..."

After placing my first order, I immediately thought "what's the most inexpensive solution to equip my three kids?"  Oh boy, If I win anything in the raffle, there'll be no hope for me.

It's great when the Universe aligns, ain't it.

Most inexpensive way to arm the younglings is Initiate size stunts. Basically any saber that comes standard with an Initiate length (24") blade.

You'll love it, it's a great saber :D Having one myself, I can say it's my favourite US in my (rather) small collection, and I own a Manticore which I thought was the perfect saber for me! Well, it was, before the Archon arrived... ;D
But I wonder...why has it already shipped although you entered the raffle? Normally they don't ship the raffle entry sabers until the raffle is over and winners are announced...

Hmm.  I don't know.  I received a "your order has shipped" email, but when I put in the tracking number, FedEx doesn't recognize it.  My thought is that perhaps they've generated the tracking number, which automatically sends out the "order shipped" email, but are holding off on sending out until after the raffle.  I know I followed the raffle rules with the code and my username in the notes section... I hope that the "order shipped" email doesn't make for signs of being ineligible for the raffle.

No. You won't get yours till I get mine, which will be tomorrow. I am literally buzzing with anticipation. I've wanted a CE Manticore for so long...AND NOW IT'S TAKING ITS SWEET @$$ TIME GETTING HERE. I hope my Grab Bag is a proto.

As far as FedEx goes, I've notice they typically estimate about a day over what it should take, and then narrow it as it gets closer to the destination. They usually meet or beat their ETAs.

... Dark Sentinel v4 (CG).

It was originally going to be delivered to my home address, but then the ETA day turned out to be a day when nobody would be at home for long stretches. So I went on the website that night and put in a request to have it held at the facility closest to me. Too many thefts in our neighborhood as of late.

Now the day has arrived, and for the past four hours the box has been en route from one city facility to (I assume) the one I requested. Indianapolis is not that big, nor that hard to get around in. I'm checking the website for updates every 15-20 minutes, despite the fact that they're supposed to contact me when it's available for pickup.

It's killing me. Some Jedi I'm turning out to be.  ::)

A conference. Annual meeting of archaeologists getting together and talking about what they've been researching. Gave my talk yesterday so now I'm just hanging out in San Francisco.

My girlfriend and a I are quite impatiently awaiting our latest order since the 15% off sale and free v3/4/premium saber were just too good to pass up.  She got the Azure Mantis in Guardian Blue w/ Silver FoC, blue AV switch, Quick Disconnects, the standard emitter and squared pommel. I opted for the Malice with the 4 channel Emerald w/ sound, small claws (the large claws look comically over sized to me), round pommel, red AV switch without activation box (leaves the hilt with a cleaner look IMHO), and bronze accent button.

I've lost count of how many times I've hit the refresh button waiting for the order status to update to "shipped" since we placed the order on Thursday before noon. I'm worried my left mouse button is going to wear out...

Point for excellent choices sir. You both have discerning tastes. You're gonna have to give a review of the Malice. Not too many people ever talk about that one.

Thanks. I've been meaning to post reviews for all of my sabers, just haven't got around to it yet. I should also find my camera so that when I do said reviews are more than just words. Sadly, it'll be a while yet as our order is STILL processing.

So, our order finally updated to shipped yesterday, and it will be here tomorrow around 10:15 am if our past experiences hold true. Makes it a full seven day week from placing the order to delivery for a premium saber with sound, a premium emerald saber with sound, and a v3/v4/premium grab bag. That's pretty damned impressive if you ask me. The grand total for all of that? $662.85. Looking at that, it kinda makes me feel like a bastard for being impatient in the first place.

My order is listed as shipped (getting an Archon and parts to customize it, along with of course a grab bag saber) as of yesterday. Details on that are here (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=23741.0). The tracking number in the system doesn't show up as legit in FedEX, but I'm assuming that's just due to delays in updating it. Thinking I should have this by Friday if I'm lucky...

Lucky. I can't remember the last opening night show I was at. My sis is coming in for Mothers' Day with plans for us all to go see it together.

I did get to catch EP III on opening night, and fully plan to catch the midnight running of EP VII. You can literally feel the electricity, buzz, anticiaption, (whatever you want to call it) for a movie that big.

Guardian. I was going to go with the Manticore (long pommel) because the Guardian was out of stock and I wanted to get my order in before the promos ended, but, luckily, the Guardian became available again. First saber with sound, and the grab bag that comes with it is going to be my son's. Going to try to do an unboxing video with him present.

So, I received my Guardian with Obsidian and Emerald today, as well as the free grab bag, which turned out to be a Dominix v3 LE in red. While I adore the Guardian hilt, I was disheartened to discover that they did not include the v4 soundboard as I was very much looking forward to loading it up with fonts for any occasion.

It's stunt in VA with the black blade holder, red button and short groove pommel. I'm in the UK so I don't expect it before next week but I'm so excited.

Holy frack...what is the hold up at US.

It says "Shipped", but I still don't have a tracking number which tells me that FedEx does not have it yet. I WANT MY SABERS.

In my own impatience for my first saber that I ordered late Monday I sent an email asking if there was anything holding up my order. Emory very promptly responded saying that they received a "colossal influx of orders over the May 4th sale" and that it set them back a couple days on processing them.

Currently mine is still sitting at processing.

I figured. I haven't complained because lately my orders have been during a promo or raffle. I just remember the first time I ordered, it was in my hands w/i 4 days. Other times, I've ordered in the afternoon, and it was awaiting pickup by morning. I nearly crapped myself.

First post (well, second after reading the forum rules), first light saber, and first bout of anxiety waiting for my first light saber.  Emerald Bellicose w/ brass buttons, green AV switch, black blade holder and a Shock LE pommel thrown in for good measure.  I asked if my buttons and covertec wheel could be opposite how they are in the pics because I think it makes more sense for the emitter slant to be on top of the blade rather than the other way 'round.  Don't know if they can do that but I'm sure I'll love it either way (HEAVY BREATHING).

As it's an Emerald I have access to the entire visible spectrum, but I have a thing for yellows and oranges...I also have a few ideas to start customizing it.

As it's an Emerald I have access to the entire visible spectrum, but I have a thing for yellows and oranges...I also have a few ideas to start customizing it.

I've asked those questions already and Emory (aka Deep, aka "THE MAN") answered them. The Covertec can be placed where you want it for an added fee (just like the sabers that don't come standard with it) but you will be left with an open hole from the original machining. I too would prefer to have the the switch on the opposite side. The switch, to me, represents the "top" of the saber, and I also prefer to have emitter shrouds on top as well. Unfortunately, the hole for the switch is part of the primary machining, and therefore cannot be easily changed.

However, I've had time to practice with my Dark Prophecy, in order to have the Covertec on the right side (and out of the way of my grip) and to have the emitter shroud on top, I simply hold the saber so that my index finger presses the switch from the "bottom" instead of thumbing it on.

Hope this helps.

I decided to go all out with my first. Rgbw emerald driver and obsidian v4 sound card. The initial set up has dark violet amethyst with a fast pulse to violet amethyst and silver flash on clash. I was blown away by the service of US and Emory. I still feel overwhelmed that I was able to get myself a curved black reaper!!

That is true, Emory is awesome. I Googled the image of this thing. It wasn't what I was expecting. I had these high hopes that they found a way to a proper curve in it, instead of just another simple bend. However, I did manage to spy some very impressive mods on my search, so thanks for setting me on the path.

People have gotten them before as Raffle Prizes.  They must have been Test Units for fitting the electronics prior to full production of the Mantis.

Stayed up late last night to order my kitted-out Raven, my dream saber. Obsidian V4, standard pommel/claws, normal silver AV switch and Pyrestone Orange blade. It shipped this morning, and it'll arrive Monday. I can't wait! ;D

Emory, Ultrasabers team, you guys are amazing. Absolutely incredible. I thought I'd be waiting at least a week for it, but no, you guys just blew me away.

Hahahaha, yes I am!!! ;D okay, really all I did was email him about it, and he gave me the price and ordering instructions. Although, I should mention that I meant "no shroud." It comes with the claw, but I will be taking it off.

The site description for the dark Prophecy Pommel says it has no sound vents, and that's what it looks like in the pciture, bit it's not a big deal. I actually live not too far from where US is based, so it should show up soon after it ships.

I was unaware of a shroud on the Reaper. Emory is exceptionally cool like that. He and I have been working out the details of how I should go about ordering components for a custom design I have in the works. Don't get your jets in a roar, though. This "custom" design will be made of exsisting saber components. ;)

As for the pommel, I would imagine putting in your own holes would make for a very interesting accoustic. I've noticed as my collection has grown that the different pommels have different effects on the sound emitted by the speaker.

Yeah, that's why I stick with custom build as opposed to custom design. The shroud on the Reaper emitter is the silver piece that normally sits right below the emitter windows. It's a bit too much silver in one place for what I have in mind, hence not getting it.

Good call on the wording. I think you should have got the shroud with, unless it reduced cost. Then you'd have the option to use it if you felt the need. I like options. :D

My apologies you boys are right about the stunt Prophecy pommel being solid.  I remember reading someone saying they had the open pommel with stunt sent with theirs, which is possible but likely rare.

They may have requested a sound capable pommel in order to lighten the saber. The sound pommel is after all just a bored out hole, but is probably half the weight.

Yeah, I guess that's what they use on the Initiates. The pommel on my Dark Initiate V4 is just an open bore. In fact, I ordered a second Dark Prophecy pommel to do the same thing for that saber. I could play with the volume settings, but I prefer to also have something physically protecting the speaker.

Yeah, this will bring me from one stunt saber to five sabers of varying electronics--pretty excited about that!. Needless to say, it'll be awhile before I buy any more :D :P. But I wanted to go all out, and this seemed like a great deal to capitalize on. Yes, I will be posting a review of them. Thanks!

Post by: shadowzeak on August 27, 2015, 03:12:01 AM
So, the great benefit of living close to US's home base is that orders get delivered fast. As in, next day fast. I didn't even choose any expedited shipping, and boom, my parts were here.  :o So, all the electronics have been wired up and everything works. I just have to drill out the hole a bit for the AV switch, and I can put it all together. The only downside is that I'm not sure I like the Dark Prophecy pommel on this hilt after all. The thread OD is larger than the exposed OD, so there's an abrupt change from the Shock body to the pommel. Plus, there's nothing to stop it from being screwed in too far. I originally went with this pommel to keep the overall hilt length fairly short so I have a good balance between it and my Dark Initiate while dual wielding. I'll have to take a look at some of the other pommels and come up with something. Oh and the other thing- it's completely solid. I knew there wouldn't be any sound vents, but I didn't take into account the entire length when I thought of drilling my own. So there's a good 1.25" or so of solid aluminum to drill through...  :-\

On the bright side, the Reaper emitter looks great on the Dark Shock body. It looks just the way I had imagined  ;D

Post by: Darth Logos on August 27, 2015, 05:28:19 PM
Never been a huge fan of the Proph pommel. Especially after somebody dropped my Dark Proph. Since the pommel doesn't tee to make a stop for the body threads, it went below the edge of the body tube, and the drop bent the overhang over the pommel locking it into place. I had to get needle nose plier in there to get it "fixed".

Eeehhh....that's no fun. I have a Dark Catalyst pommel hanging around I might try. Looking at the various sabers on the site, I like the look of the Manticore pommel. Which is interesting because I'm not really a fan of the emitter. But, it doesn't come in black...I could ask Emory if they have/get one in black anodized, stick with the silver look, get one and paint it, try to find somewhere to get it anodized black for me, or try anodizing it myself. I've looked up how to do it, but I'm not entirely sure. It doesn't seem to hard, but at the same time I don't want to mess up the part if  I do it wrong.

You're sick. I've never heard anyone dog the Manticore emitter. However, if you are talking about the LP Manticore pommel, a really good substitute would be a Dark Menace pommel. The only difference is the vertical grooves on the Manti pommel (which personally I now regret getting on mine). I have since put my Menace Pommel on it. It looks better IMO, and since I view the Menace as incomplete until I staff it, I don't really care what pommel it has on it.

Mmmm, I might do that. I had initially considered the Menace pommel, but I was attracted to the groves on the LP Manticore. The question is, though, how would the LP Man. look in black? It certainly looks good in the default silver, but thinking about it, the grooves might not stand out as much in black. The Menace would certainly give a nice smooth end to the hilt, and is already available in black. Like I said, I'm going to give the Catalyst pommel I have a try and see how that looks before I order anything else. I picked up a step bit so I can drill out the hole for the AV switch when I get home from work. Hopefully I can have some pictures up tonight when it's all finished.

And there's something about the "disk" at the top of the Manticore emitter....I don't know, I'm just not a fan of it for some reason. It's not hideous or anything, but it's not really a style I'd go with.

That's what I'm screaming. Smooth. That is why I disliked the LP pommel. The lines made it scream that it was a separate part, where the Menace pommel made the entire taper at the end of the Manticore look like the pommel. I've wanted to try out a Catalyst pommel, but just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I believe the Manticore emitter was an early attempt to create something similar to Darth Maul's emitter. I will admit, for all its great looks, it is a very heavy emitter. I've been eye-balling the new black one they're offering in DIY parts.

you could look for someone who does powder coating. many color choices and really make it a one off. black chrome or anthracite would be sick....just an idea.

Hmmm, that might look good. Looking at it again, I think what I dislike is the "disk" portion being separated so much from the rest of the emitter. If it were to be cut at the bottom of the extension where the retention screw is, flipped upside down, and re-attached, I think it would better. But that's just me.

That does sound pretty awesome. Probably not this time, but it's something to think about. Living in Houston, there are TONS of machine shops and places that offer surface finishings and the like, so it wouldn't be too hard to find one.

Hey Bigbear... that saber must have arrived by now so get to it and share the details before Darth Logos gets grumpy.  ;D

EDIT:  Saw on another post that you received a Dominix v4 with GB blade.  Will look forward to your customization.  Kind of fitting for someone from the wolf clan tribe having a dark as night saber with an intense deeper blue blade.  The time when the wolves come out to gather, hunt and play.

I just ordered my very first saber EVER, a Phantasm Initiate v3 staff in Sentinel Yellow. I had to sell the priciest Magic card I had to afford it, but I just couldn't pass up the option of going saberstaff or dual-wielding depending on my mood. I have no idea how long it's going to take to arrive, but I've been waiting a long time already for the card to sell so I just want my saber to arrive!

Just ordered my first pair of sabers on Friday, Initiate LE v4 and Dark Initiate v4. Initiate is Sentinel Yellow and Dark Initiate is Adegan Silver.

Post by: Ssisal on September 14, 2015, 06:16:13 PM
For my first order I got a bunch of blades.
Dark Omen  cuz well, before i learned of the force I was a Thundercat kid..   EMORY if you had a Blazing Sword (any one of the three Voltron blades, id buy that tomorrow.)  This is going on the wall.
Stunt Mantis, I love its look, will make an amazing flashlight, or force dagger if i find the need for one.
Emerald Mantis, love the look, really looking forwards to this blade,  Its probably going to be my primary blade.
Flamberge v2 is the paired blade for the Dark Omen, May attempt to couple the omen and this into a crazy huge staff just for a picture... What your staff is a pair of greatswords? /giggle
Azure Menace  (my dad picked this one out for his blade)
Azure Reaper  x2 This is going to my standard staff.
8 stunt initiate v2's 1 for a lightsource in my room/ my training blade, other 7 gifts for a LGS/ attempting to start a dueling club up there.

I just ordered my first quality saber fifteen minutes ago. I got the Dominix V4 LE with Emerald Driver, Obsidian v4, Covertec install, a two piece stand, a blade plug, and a 36" UltraEdge Heavy Grade blade. I can't wait for the saber to arrive!

I ordered a saber for a few reasons. The first ComicCon I'll ever go to is in about a month and a half, so I've been preparing a cosplay and needed a lightsaber. On top of that, I've arranged a huge party before Episode VII comes out, having a marathon of I-VI on the 17th of December before going to the midnight release of VII. The plan is for people to come is costume, so I'll be able to break out the ComicCon cosplay again. (I'll use it for Halloween as well.) On top of all of that, dueling in general is a lot of fun and I wanted to have a good saber to duel with. Finally, I ordered a nicer saber because I plan on using it for years down the road and want an investment that I can be proud of.

And so the countdown has begun. Hurry up and ship, UltraSabers! After that, Hurry up and deliver, FedEx!

Fedex dropped off my saber today - 2 days early, who thought that was possible? :P
 I even stopped by the hardware store to grab some o-rings today before heading home, no way they deliver it 2 whole days early I thought. If I had known I would have sprinted the whole 2kms home :P

So very happy with it, feels so so nice to hold and has the perfect weight. It feels so good to spin around that my hands just HAVE to do it every time I pick it up.
Neighbours kids were staring at me through the window when I was out back playing around with it, they must be sooo jelly..

The anticipation is almost unbearable. The package should arrive at FedEx tomorrow and since my place of work is only 2.5 miles away FedEx, I'm hoping to swing by there and pick it up on my way home. Is there any law against sabering while driving? ;)

Got my pair today, Initiate LE v4 (Sentinel Yellow) and Dark Initiate LE v4 (Adagan Silver). Ultra-Heavy Blades.

Excuse the bathroom picture, was only place downstairs dark enough when I first got them.

Hi Shadowclaimer.  Nice pair of Initiates.  Which person are you ?  See you have one dark side point.  Is this correct or judging from your blade choices, are you wanting to collect light side points.  Is easier to change when just starting out.  Have fun with those sabers and remember that the HG being twice as thick can hurt twice as much.   ;)

Gah! First I was waiting on US, now I'm waiting on FedEx. My order finally shipped four days ago but has been sitting in Fairview, Utah for the last two. It would be here by now if FedEx would just keep their shipments moving instead of just letting the package stagnate for 48 (and counting) hours! Come on, FedEx, come on!

True. The first Ultrasaber I ever bought went to dad for Fathers' Day last year. I went DSI because a) lower cost :(, b) still looked pretty cool, but mainly c) anodized and had a large area for engraving. I hadn't even heard of laser engraving. The place I ended up at didn't have the font I initially wanted. So when he said I could download any font online, I started thinking, "Surely some blessed nerd with too much time has created a decent Basic font." Lo and behold I found it. This is the result.

Thanks. You should be able to get it done at any trophy shop. And it's dirt cheap. It works basically like a printer. The only down side is that you have to have an anodized saber. I'm not sure what the effect is on the red or blue. Someone else can have that adventure/experiment.

Yeah, I'm hoping that I'm near the top of the list. Emory did warn me when I emailed that it could take up to a week after the 28th before they get to mine. I guess there's a pretty healthy backlog of Bellicose sabers built up.

So I'm going for best-case scenario, but I changed my shipping speed to overnight just in case it's the worst-case scenario.

I gotta get at least one good duel in before it gets too cold out. Does anyone know how durable the blades are in the cold?

That's a good question. I've never had mine outside colder than +5 degrees Celsius because it drains the batteries too quickly. But at that temp I never felt that the blades were brittle, but colder I couldn't tell you.

Heck yeah, my Dark Apprentice V4 LE just got here.

So, this was the start of my "let's buy less expensive sabers in various colors to properly judge them" list, because I got the impression from pictures that EG was just what I was looking for in a kind of eerie green glow sort of color, and so it proved to be when I first fired it up.  It's exactly what I wanted it to be, so I'm already noting that for some future, much higher tier, saber ideas and character costuming ideas I've got.

Darth Logos, I know you want to see the EG, bear with me, I have some studying to do for a test tomorrow, but I'm planning a video review of my Dark Prophecy, my son's Initiate V2, and the brand new Dark Apprentice LE, to be filmed tomorrow and put up promptly.

I also ordered it with the Consular pommel intending on swapping that over to the Prophecy, but have decided that both sabers should have that pommel, so clearly I need to order another pommel, which is likely to be in a couple of weeks, when I continue going down my pre-planned list of sabers (not set in stone yet, but it's probably going to be a Dark Sentinel V4 LE in VA).

All are with heavy grade blades. I ordered these on the 18th, When do you think I can expect them with all the cons going around?

I ordered six sabers for a saber club we are starting up. I ordered a Tri-cree red Aeon v2 for myself, a SRD aeon v4 for Ami, a Tri-Cree orange Dark Initiate v4 for Jack, A violet dark Sentinel LE for Jacob, a Grab Bag for Matt and a SRD Dominix LE v4 for Connor. All are with heavy grade blades. I ordered these on the 18th, When do you think I can expect them with all the cons going around? They are still processing and these guys are dying to have their own lightsabers!
There's a disclaimer that says wait times could be 3-4 weeks, but it usually shouldn't take that long.

Got my double Phantom / Phantasm today!  So excited that I made the review video while unboxing it (I haven't even made the video for my Dominix yet).

Yet another awesome saber.  Review coming up soon.

It was less than that! And I don't do reckless spending lol. I did in fact save a bit

Also two words for you: Reward Points :)

Only a bit?

I blew all my RPs on a sound and switch upgrade. But I had like $125 worth. I found it best to acquire them on saber purchases because you'll get the most, then spend them on accessories. You also don't earn any points on purchases that you use them on.  >:(

I definitely saved up a sufficient amount. Once again, I do not do reckless spending :). And the rewards definitely helped knock it down quite a bit.

They were quite busy with Cons right now, so they have to clear that backlog. That's also why they say 3-4 weeks shipping time. But in most cases it's far less than that, the longest shipping time I'm aware of was around two weeks. In normal times a saber takes about 7 to 9 days from ordering to its delivery ;)

Just ordered a matching Dark initiate V4 in BR (w/windows, covertec, blade plug) to go with my first one, and now the wait begins. I'm gonna give dual-wielding 24" sabers a try, and if it still feels like they're too short, I'll order a couple of 32" blades.

Impatiently waiting for the time when I can start ordering from my wishlist, which I just spent a half an hour populating with all of the high-end sabers that I want to buy.

 ;D

And I know I'll be adding to it tomorrow, with the more budget priced sabers on my list.

According to Emory, UltraSabers should be getting a brand new batch of Bellicose hilts tomorrow. I'm hoping that I (finally) get my shipping notice in the next few days.

This has been a VERY long month...

the lighting and background make the blade look more blue than violet, so here's a shot with the lights off:

So on Thursday I got an email that my blade had shipped and would be here at 1030am.
I wakeup at 930 to stare at the door and attempt to force pull the sabers to me.  My sister is sleeping on the couch a couple feet away with one of my dogs, both asleep soundly.
at 1001 phone cherps, i get a message that delivery was attempted at 922am..   Sure as poo there was a thing on the door, come get it after 4pm.  That wait until 4pm, was a very very long wait.  Every long then your last duty watch before you go on leave for a few weeks in the service.  I tried to sleep but i was too impatient, all of these sabers just sitting in three boxes.. 2.5 miles away.  
From 1002 until 340 i looked at google maps, and yahoo maps, and google earth, even pulled out the paper maps to plot out the most efficient course to get me to fed ex, see if i could find a way to bypass the highway as it would be the start of evening rush.  I try to make plans for the prerelease launch of the new magic the gathering card set, to figure out a strategy.  I couldnt focus,  lightsabers.. right there, next to verizon where i had been putting off going to change my number.

At exactly 400pm i go inside and get my sabers..  >. almost tear them open in the parking lot.. but no, i gotta get my phone changed and get home.. so i do that, managed to get in and out in less then 3 minutes, also got a new battery.

I get home open them up.  Here is a video of what they look like, I hope you enjoy the video even an 8th as much as we enjoy them.
https://youtu.be/9OGHZd61ZI8

 We spared with them between drafts friday night, saturday and sunday.  
 We did get asked by the police, to either move across the street into the city park, or go into the mall parking lot and spar there.   Apparently we were causing traffic to slow from 35mps to 0 as a couple cars stopped to watch the duel.

Hi Ssisal.  That's quite the impressive bunch of sabers.  It's a shame that the video phone screen is so narrow.  If those couplers are for all your Aeon Initiate v2's I'm quite confident that they are not going to be a compatible fit as that saber is not MHS compatible.  Please let us know if you need any assistance.   :)

So you know its bad when you placed your order like a day ago, and you sit there every hour or so, looking at your account, seeing if there is an update, and you think you yourself "man I wish I knew what step they are on, like i wonder if they have even put the first couple pieces together?"

So my question to the vets, does the waiting get easier once you have a few, or worse?

Nope. The waiting still bugs, but you're anxiety over it lessens. I think that's mostly due to the previously purchased saber in hand when you click "Submit Order". If they are back in the shop, you should have a confirmation that your saber is on the docks waiting to be picked up by FedEx by the end of business today. US is like the saber equivalent of Jimmy John's. Really freakin' fast.

Well I emailed Emory about 2ish weeks ago and he said that the Bellicose hilts were out of stock until September 28th, so I'm not too worried about it. I figure I'll give US a week or so before I start getting antsy.

But the wait is absolutely murderous....

No they ran out while they were at dragon con. Since they have the 3-4 week wait times listed and since the Bellicoses would have been in before the end of that wait time, they didn't list them as out of stock on the website.

A little misleading, but ok in the end.

So I'm just hoping I get my shipping notice sometime this week since everyone seems to get theirs within about 3-7 days. Since the Bellicoses started getting worked on this last monday, I'm hoping mine is one of them ^.^

Still though, the wait has been really REALLY tough as this is also my first saber.

Yeah i noticed the couplers did not fit the initiates.  Which is fine, they do fit my buddies staff, my staff and even funny enough I could make a great staff with them by combing the Omen and Flamberge together.
Honestly i do need to know what i can use to couple the initiates together.  I was hoping that the black or silver ones worked but alas no.

hazard502
I did go with silver for the omen, and had emory tie the red to power button light.   Omen needed to be silver, closest to the real blade possible, it does clash red though.

Ive got a touch of bronchitus, so in a couple days ill see what i can do about better videos of the blades at night being swung about.

You can find the appropiate coupler for you v2's here (silver) (https://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/initcoupler.htm) and here (dark) (https://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/dinitcoupler.htm) :)

My brother ordered his saber 1 day before I did and had his by the end of the week. A couple of days after he had received his, I emailed Emory asking about the status of my order and that's when he told me the Bellicose was out of stock, but that they would be getting more in before the 3-4 week lead time was up, so they didn't list it as out of stock. I'm not too upset about the whole situation as Emory was VERY helpful and nice :)


Sucks dude. But hang tough, they are still worth the wait.
Well...I'm still hanging in there. I just get real bummed when I hear all these other people going "got mine today!"  :P

A couple of days after he had received his, I emailed Emory asking about the status of my order and that's when he told me the Bellicose was out of stock, but that they would be getting more in before the 3-4 week lead time was up, so they didn't list it as out of stock. I'm not too upset about the whole situation as Emory was VERY helpful and nice :)

Well...I'm still hanging in there. I just get real bummed when I hear all these other people going "got mine today!"  :P

I had a bit of a long wait as well when my Belli came in. Then I nearly crapped myself when I found out that I got a V4 sound board. It was after the beta testing had finished but before they were offering it for sale. Good things come to those who wait.

V4s come standard with 7 sound fonts plus MUTE, that can be cycled through via the AV switch. So much awesome.

ohhh. So the V3's just have the startup, hum, clash, and powerdown sounds then and no AV switch control right?

Basically. All the AV does on the V3s is cycle the saber on and off.

I have to start figuring out my next order.

I could...

Get another Dark Apprentice V4 LE in EG, and a coupler, to make a staff.

Get either a Dark Apprentice V4 or Dark Sentinel V4 LE in DVA/VA respectively.

Or, since I just had my two LEE filter swatch books come in, I could get a saber in Adegan Silver so I can start playing with the filters.



All that, plus I need to get my son a red saber to go with the Darth Vader costume my Mother in Law got him for Halloween, and I need to decide if I want to stick with an Initiate V2 like he already has, or go with something a little longer and wire in one of the Ultimate FX sound boards I've got sitting around.

Getting a full EG staff would be awesome, BUT personally I'd prob get the same Apprentice hilt in a different colour(the VA you mentioned). And I'd get you son a different hilt just...because! But in the end go with your gut instinct and you'll be fine!

I've realized that if I go for the second EG, I'd also need to pick up an extra blade, since 36" is very long for a staff.  So, while I'll do that eventually, probably not this time.

Kind of leaning towards DVA.

And for my son, probably a Dark Initiate V4.  It's only five bucks more, and ought to have the room for the Hasbro sound board in it.

Actually, scratch the CO. Though it isn't the canon replica, a Dark Prophecy has been known as the "poor man's Chosen One". A Proph would also be good for small hands since it's still a V3. Food for thought. FYI James and I love our Prophs.

Argh.  I thought I had figured out what I wanted to order next, then I though "F it, go big!", and now I'm agonizing over whether to get an Emerald Flamberge with silver crossguards (coupled with the LEE filters, so I could tailor it a bit better) or an Emerald Dark Menace, to get the first half of the high-end staff I want to put together.

I still have a lot of questions about how the Flamberge with Emerald driver would work, so I'll probably email some questions tomorrow.  And I'm REALLY leery of power consumption with that setup.

Getting AS side LED's is actually quite genius if you're thinking emerald Flamberge, I've never heard that suggested before. I also recommend reading through the "Flamberge release" thread in the Announcements page on the forum. Many people who thought of, or did purchase a Flamberge have asked and answered a lot of questions and you'd probably find much information there.

Here's the link to that topic:

I've read much of that before, but I'll look through it again.  I did a lot more reading last night and this morning, and my hesitation is mostly down to two factors.

Power consumption is one, there are so many factors that I don't have direct experience with, such as sound, extra LEDs, and the Emerald driver.  The first can be somewhat mitigated, I suspect, with V4 Obsidian and muting it when I don't need sound.  I've done enough reading on Emerald to know better than to try to drive the three main blade channels to the top of their brightness, I just don't know how much power the driver itself eats.

The other factor is in getting used to the handling with the side blades.  With any of my longswords, there's no real big downside to having the crossguard touch my forearms while I'm using them, like there would be with a lightsaber, and that's a factor that only I can figure out for myself, with the assistance of my handy PVC pipe mock up.

That looks so sweet!!!

So I work with a bunch of tech guys, and they were all nerding out over it.  So I changed a few settings with the emerald already, made banes heart a little more purple, and the primary color, elongated the cycly between purple and red to 20 seconds, with less time at either color, and then switched the flash on clash off silver, and instead it does a 20 cycle shimmer between the purple and red, super quick.  Within the next few days, I am going to get O-rings for the grooves, just not sure on the size that would work best.

Overall, 10/10 exceeded expectations, and this is going to convince about 8 more people to get one for themselves in the next few months.

Post by: shade_1313 on October 03, 2015, 12:32:12 AM
Okay, so I sort of rectified my conundrum.

I DO want a crossguard saber before Episode 7; I want to, for the first time in my life, go to a release day showing in costume.  I do want to spend more time figuring out how a crossguard saber will work for me, both in terms of working around the crossguard blades, AND in making sure that any adjustments I have to make aren't going to screw with proper blade handling when I do longsword instead.

So, I picked up the Kylo Ren saber.  Fits both roles (although I have to say, I have quite large hands, and this thing is THICK and chunky), in that it is perfect for a costume and also I can swing it around to get a feel for the crossguard type sabers.

In the meantime, I ordered this:

Item Name:    Dark Menace with Sound (Emerald)

Options:
Blade LED Color:Dark Violet Amethyst for Emerald
Emerald Driver Configuration:4 Channel Emerald Driver - RGBW LED
Flash on Clash:Flash Violet Amethyst for Emerald
Pulse Mode:Pulse Off
Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup for Emerald (Batteries & VP1 Charger Included)
Recharge Port:No Recharge Port
Blade Length:32" Length
Blade Option:Heavy Grade
Bottom Knurled Screw:Black
Middle Knurled Screw:Black
Top Knurled Screw:Black
Emitter Type:Silver Underlay - Windows
Sound:Yes, Install Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4
Switch Type (Momentary):Silver Non-Illuminated AV Switch
AV Switch Channel:Channel 4 (Dedicated to AV Switch) [Recommended
Blade Tip:Round Tip
Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks
Include Blade Plug:No Thanks
Include Saber Stand:No Thanks
Include MINI USB Cable:Yes
Include Covertec Clip:Yes!


Next month, I'll pick up the other half of the Dark Menace staff, which will be identical to the first, other than the fact I won't need the USB cable, covertec clip, etc.

If I find that I do still want a crossguard US after getting more experience, then I can pick that up later, and I get to play with a ton of different blade colors with the Emerald driver, and even the LEE filters when I have it set to a silver blade color.

So, I'm now (im)patiently waiting for my new Dark Menace.

Should probably mention that I received my Bellicose on Friday. I chased down 2 different FedEx trucks on my bike (1 car family) when the FedEx Express truck tried to say they "attempted delivery" (they didn't).

Heartbroken, wife gets home at 5pm and asks if she should take the car and try to find the FedEx van. I was like, "yeah sure whatever I guess" (all pouty you know cuz of...no saber...and I PAID for EXPRESS...)

About 45mins pass and I text her to come home, accepting that my saber wouldn't be here until Monday.

She pulls up 5mins later and gets out of the car. I walk up to her and she pulls out the box from the back seat! She was able to find the damn truck!!

Best. Wife. Ever.

I believe that means it is packed and on the docks at US awaiting FedEx to pick up. Once they do your tracking number will go active. Then you can proceed to wear a line in the carpet as you pace and pick your finger nails to bloody nubs while you anxiously await the delivery. ;D Happy Faces ;D <psychotically cheerful>

The best way to avoid Saber Anxiety Disorder is to order someone a SURPRISE saber without telling them.    :o

That way it is a total surprise and they avoid the dreaded anxiety associated with the wait.   ;D

Now if you are ordering the saber for yourself this technique obviously doesn't work...    :(

Same!  Though I'm looking to pick up the neck/emitter.  I'm "trying" not to check the site everyday but sadly I'm failing...

I just keep telling myself when they announce it I'll know, but that's not helping.
I have plans for the hilt and I want to start them now.

The best way to avoid Saber Anxiety Disorder is to order someone a SURPRISE saber without telling them.    :o

That way it is a total surprise and they avoid the dreaded anxiety associated with the wait.   ;D

Now if you are ordering the saber for yourself this technique obviously doesn't work...    :(

thats a neat trick LOL

What did you get again?

I love reading thru this thread . . . I can FEEL the excitement when you all get your "shipped" email notification . . . I know the feeling well, and I get that tingle every time I read this, lol . . .

Its great they are still only taking a couple days despite the whole 3-4 week disclaimer!

We placed our order on Sunday afternoon, and have been in contact with Emory two or three times about various things. I am really happy I will have plenty of time to place before the public reveal to our friends! (Initiate LE V4, Arctic Blue with FoC.)

I didn't scrimp at all. I made a decision on whether or not windows were worth waiting an extra couple weeks or not. Came to the conclusion I didn't need windows. That simple. Besides I absolutely LOVE both of them and thats what matters most!

True dat. For S&Gs I was speccing a Dom V4 staff the other day, and against character, started liking the looks of it w/o windows. :-\

Now I have to find out if the second half of my Dark Menace staff can be had without the Covertec, or if I'll have to alter it myself.

You might be able to request it w/o and to be subbed with a button head screw. The hole will remain however as it is part of the design.

Might as well get it as is, get the screw myself, and transplant the Covertec to a saber that lacks it.

Cuz then you gotta finish the screw to the proper length, and a transfer would require the drilling and the tapping and "ain't nobody got no time fo' dat."

But you're right, it never hurts to have spare parts.

Dominix LE v4
Consular Green Tri-LED
Heavy Grade Ultra Edge Blade, 36"
Green Illuminated Silver AV Switch
Obsidian v4 Sound
Covertech Install
Circle Blade Plug

Tricking it out without completely breaking the bank. Looking forward to using this bad piece of tech to show off and spin/duel.

And so it begins.......

Just pulled the trigger on six sabers. My first order. Yikes! Five with sound and one stunt. I'm outfitting my whole family in one shot. I'm feeling a little freaked out right now. I've never even laid hands on an Ultrasaber. But, everything I've researched leads me to believe I went with the right company. Now the agonizing wait begins.....

oh, the order:

All the sabers are mid grade blade, all with obsidian v4, all FOC (except the one stunt saber)

Prophecy v3 in green (that's mine)
Aeon in SD stunt (my wife's, she didn't want sound)
Dark initate v4 in orange (kid)
Initiate v4 in guardian blue (kid)
Dark Apprentice in VA (kid)
Apprentice in AB (kid)

1.5 weeks till I can put in my order for my next saber. Every day is killing me.

Dominix v4. Going to have Sound, FOC Silver, No Windows, 36" Ultra-Heavy Blade with a green LED button.

I'm working on a Miralan costume, so I'm going to likely take lighter green paint sharpies to the hilt and do a tribal/runic design all over it and then clear coat it.

It'll also be my first sound saber =)

I'm afraid because I'm hoping to order mine next Friday and get it by the following Friday (Halloween Eve) and I figure it'll be cutting it close already but if they drop a sale, I can't see any feasible way I could expect a one week turnaround lol

Anyone know what the current turn around time is? I ordered on the October 14th. I'm just hoping they get here before Halloween. The website says 3 to 4 weeks because of the convention season but I thought I heard people were getting their sabers sooner.

From the buzz I've been hearing, I'll give you 95% likely you will have it before the end of next week. But there's still 5% you won't.

I placed my order on the 12th, late in the evening, I got the shipping notice on the 14th and it is scheduled to arrive today.. but I live in Texas, so the turn-around is fractionally quicker for me, I think.. Still I would agree with Logos.. you will likely have your saber before next Friday.

Now.. where is that dang FedEx guy?!?! ;)

I got a Dark Initiate v4 with a special pommel and a red blade. Stunt, no sound. It's my first foray into the hobby and I wanted to start a little cheaper, but with something I really wanted as opposed to a grab bag. I intend to use it for spinning and stunt work.

Ordered my first saber on September 20,  The Guardian with Sound (Emerald) with Obsidian V4. Finally got the shipping notice today with expected delivery for Monday. The saber has been in the back of mind throughout the entire wait. Crazy weird thing is last night I had a dream about it. Needless to say, I'm really excited for it and hope to build up a nice saber collection in the future.

I know how all you feel. I ordered my Standard v3 2 weeks ago and everyday I would refresh my email to find out if my order had been shipped yet and when it did I was jumping in my chair in my bedroom.

I had to pay the duties and taxes before it arrived because apparently it was going to arrive on the day that I was going to a concert. (now I bet you guys are wondering, was I too busy thinking about my saber that I didn't have fun at that concert?  ;D I tried not to.) but when I came home late, there it was in tis package lying on my bed. I was too tired so I crashed and then opened it up the next morning swung it around while all excited inside only for a few minutes before I had to get going to college.  :D

I think so. AFAIK it was OOS for quite some time, and then they were out of office during the Cons. So it seems likely that it was heavily delayed until now.

Yes it was! I ordered mine on 29th September and after 2 weeks I emailed Emory. He said it was out of stock and would only be back on the 20th of this month. They would then service all back orders. As promised, mine shipped 2 days later on Wednesday and will arrive via Fed Ex on Monday!!

Woohoo!  ;D

Hey dudes and dudettes,

I wish I had seen this thread before posting my own on the board, because this is the place to be! I'm very impatiently waiting for my newly ordered Dominix v4 to arrive and I gotta say, I am so super stoked. I got a stunt version, all basic set up, in arctic blue and the windows. I have my recently acquired archon v3 and I absolutely love it. That one has sound (v3 soundboard) and I wanted just one other saber, for the time being, as my go-to beat up one. Hence my stunt saber dominix. I thought I would be ok with just using my archon to mess around with, but it's so beautiful that I want to take care of it and not beat it up too bad, although I still plan on using it for dueling and such, just not as much.

On the thread I started I posed a question regarding how comfortable the dominix v4 is for dueling with. I'm new to all of this and pictured "dueling" as the more serious aspect of these sabers, but am coming to realize that "dueling" really spans from playing around with to actual choreography and combat. I know that the initiates and the dominix/aeon has the more squared edge at the top. Even with that, is the dominix easy/comfortable to spin around and stuff, or does that edge make it more uncomfortable?

@ dr.kalzafax I have a Dominix V4 and let me just say that when you hold one you tend to feel more aggressive and willing to do battle lol!  It feels so good to handle it'll increase your confidence while using it. ;D

Yeah I just pulled day out of the void.

It usually doesn't. And an Aeon is a simple saber. But ever since they've been hitting their con circuit, things have been running a bit slow.

All sweet, Emory just got back to me :)

So excited that I actually bought the leather that I'll be using to customize on the hilt yesterday

The Dark Menace staff is absolutely awesome.  Just needed to make the adjustments to the coupler to line everything up, and tweak the color to match my first DM saber (the new one had about twice the red LED in its mix, making it a more pale purple, and I liked it enough to save the settings to a file for later use).  Now, I've got some studying to do before I go to bed, but tomorrow I'll get some pics of it and post them up.


Also, I got one of the new circle style blade plugs, and tried it on my EG Dark Apprentice V4 LE with Consular pommel, and it was exactly the capstone that a prop saber to hang from your belt needs.  It looks perfect in the socket, whether lit up or powered down.  So perfect a finishing touch.

Shade,

Its BEAUTIFUL!  That Staff looks amazing.   :o  I think you made a great choice in putting those two colors together.  +1 for that beauty.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you.  I'm very well pleased with it, and put some of my other impressions of it, as my first US saber staff, in the "Show off your staff" thread in the gallery forum.

I just ordered my first saber with sound! I was sorely tempted by the Consular, being it's on sale and has TONS of options, but I just couldn't leave my gut feeling for the Dark Warglaive.

So I ordered it finally! Tri Cree red, v4 sound, quick disconnect, and an extra Manticore emitter. This will give me 2 emitters and 4 pommels to play around with, and when I want to build a light side saber I just need to get another MLS.

I already cannot wait....

I'm now waiting for:
Stunt-Archon v3 - (Luke, I am your saber. Well, pretty darn close.)
[Blade LED Color:Consular Green] - (ROTJ holds a special place in my heart due to a child hood experience)
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries Included *ONLY*)] - (I already have a charger)
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port] - (I'll eventually add these myself)
[Archon v3 Blade Type:Heavy Grade for Archon v3] - (I have a heavy UE already so I figured I'd get the silver blade this time)
[Blade Length:36" Standard Size]
[Pommel Version:Classic Version] - (ROTJ all the way)
[Quick Disconnect:Sure, Add Them!] - (Just makes sense to me)
[Blade Tip:POINTED TIP] - (Do you get the point?)
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks] - (Have them as well)
[Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Standard Plug] - (Got the circle last time but really like the look of the standard. Mostly getting this for my other saber)
[Include Saber Stand:No Thanks] - (I like to hang mine)
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks] - (Got one xD)
[Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks] - (I'll do this myself if I feel it is necessary)  

My advise to first time buyers, Don't skimp out. I got my DILEV4 (sheesh even the abbreviation is long) with Emerald and V4 Obsidian and I basically bought it for the electronics so I pretty much stuck to one of the cheapest hilts to keep costs down. I almost wish I would have just got the Archon as Emerald w/ Sound instead. I now know I really wanted and fully MHS hilt/body for mixing and matching 1 saber as opposed to owning a bunch of them. It would have been about an extra $100, but I just spent $200 so I didn't really save. Plus once you start adding to a saber purchase VS piecing it out the savings make it hard to know what it will cost if you go to buy it separate later. Its sort of financially in your interest to let them do the work than it is to buy the parts and do it yourself.

It's not a complaint and I'm very happy with my first purchase. I knew when I made it I was going to eventually get another saber and swap the guts. But, had my saber not been so awesome (holding it just leaves such an impression on me) I probably could have waited but now that I've gotten my hands on one and know how they feel combined with the fact that I like to tinker has lead me to jump on this and get the ball rolling at least. Switching the electronics will give me a project and a sense of what it's like to build a saber. It will be cool to have 2 sabers though and I'm looking forward to the electronics transplant. I did go ahead and get the Li-Ion setup because even though these guts are going to end up in my "spare" saber I do want to add sound to it at some point. Another reason I went with quick disconnect.

 I'm going to need to order a 12mm AV or drill the hole out for the transplant. Once the transplant is complete I'm going to pick up another emitter and keep the AV3 emitter for show. I believe it will hold the blade secure but I like the security blanket of a deep blade socket.

So, what are you all doing this winter? Any good movies coming out?

Emory sent me an email last night that made me want to facepalm at myself.

AS for the main blade Emerald setting from the factory doesn't work when you have channel 4 running your side blades.

D'oh!

It's even sillier, since I never intended to leave the main blade set to  AS any longer than it would take to fire it up for the first time, then immediately hook it up to my computer to start matching main blade colors to what I'm going to get from the AS side blades using LEE filters.

Still, I'm hoping that means that they'll have it finished and on its way to me soon...but set to DVA since purple filters are going to be the first one's I'm going to try for the side blades.

And, again, CS at US is great.

I am itching so badly to get my Flamberge V2.  Can't wait to start playing with color settings, and taking a crapton of pictures of a crossguard saber in a whole host of colors.

It's probably worse that this will be my last purchase for a few months, we've got some expenses coming up and I'm going to have a hiccup in my GI Bill payments while school's not in session.

Not sure about 'patiently', but waiting on my:

Dark Sentinel LE v4 saber staff with 32" red blades

and my mates

Phantasm LE v4 saber staff with 36" arctic blue blades

I'm about 5'7" with my 32s. Buddy is about 5'6" and went with 36s. I think he's going to struggle, unless he mainly does single wielding.

Anyway waiting (not) patiently.....

Post by: JediXIX on December 08, 2015, 02:33:05 AM
When did you order it?

2nd Dec . . . and it always takes about a week to get to Australia once I've got the FedEx tracking details . . . so all going well it'll get here "just in time" . . . :)


Interestingly my previous last order was late October about 5 weeks before this one, and the difference between these two order numbers is 10,408  :o . . . so if thats right, there's been over 10,000 orders in 5 weeks, over 2,000 per week, I'm guessing many with multiple sabers per order, but even with 2,000 per week is 286 per day (thats working 7 days) and thats 29 sabers per hour (if working 10 hrs per day) and thats nearly 1 saber every 2 minutes :o . . . OMG these guys are busy right now . . . Emory, you and the US team deserve a medal (and a holiday)  :)

Holy crap, you ain't kidding.

I just looked at my last two (1 month and a day apart), and they're 9460 numbers apart.  Previous to that (just under a month previous) was a difference of 5685.  They are selling a crapton of sabers, it appears.

I wonder if order numbers are generated, for bookkeeping purposes, for all those sabers they sell at cons.

Oh, and mine was ordered a day before yours, but mine is...well, it's got to be close to, if not actually, the most complicated build they can do in a single saber.  Hopefully it'll be done and ship soon, but damn are they ever busy at the moment.

 So  ok, the Bellicose won't be in stock ( thats my next grab) so i went with my other choice, got answers from Emory ( Thank you sir, your a gentleman & a scholar) so i let wifey build it as i guided so BOOM
 
Manticore -
Consular Green
Silver Flash on Clash
Battery Configuration Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries & VP1 charger
Blade Length : cut to  custom 34" ( more control for me from being used to swords, not to mention NO Worries about strikeing ground for my height)
Blade Option : UltraEdge      ( i have a mid & heavy grade i can change anytime)
Pommel Version : High Profile
Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]
Switch Type (Momentary) green Illuminated Silver AV Switch   ( In love with illuminated switches)
Choose Blade Tip Type Round Tip
Include MINI USB Cable Yes
Install Covertec Wheel :  left side near pommel

 in addition I bought a Renegade SE small pommel  to swap out ( A HUGE THANK YOU EMORY)

****a side note i was all about guardian blue then the last Second i called an audible to green, cause this baby is going to some custom work, copper med brown goatskin leather wrap, and some off gold line painting on emitter, potentialy will cut small slits for extra windows on the smooth neck part, which that theme seems to me will be better complimented by consular green.


 So yeah went Totaly Jedi on this one.              Why not an Emerald you ask, Im saving that massive build to use on a manticore CE in future
  Can't wait, happy Birthday & xmas to me..........

Ha - will do.

Yeah, I decided in the end, I always just really saw that saber as an ice blue - not a dark blue.  I didn't get Emerald because I figured I'd just have it set to Arctic Blue with Silver Clash about 99% of the time.

But once I decided that - I couldn't do Obsidian Lite anymore.  You really need a Driver (BuckPuck in this case) & Lithiums for the mixed colors.  Blue dies the fastest, it would have started turning green everytime the batteries got low.  So v4 it was!

Wanted to be kinda canon with this saber but detail pics when the saber comes in this week and will probably do a video review next week before we go see TFA =] Plus I also have reasons for that too so yeah

My complaint with hasbros saber is the distribution of the weight.  I got my flamberge today and I'd say it isn't much different in weight, it's just distributed better and makes it easier for spinning.  I love it so far btw.  Exactly what I wanted.

So I had a massive palm blown to hell. My father and I have always talked about trying some sabers. We are north blade nuts and spen a ton of time sparring. I made the decision to get us both sabers for Christmas. I ordered hum a guardian. I was waiting to check out the quality ( and recharge my wallet) before ordering myself a graflex.
Now my family got some horrific new on Saturday. My dad died of a heart stack at age 51. The kicker. Is that his birthday was Monday. Mainly I'm venting. I'm going to receive that gaudier and have to deal with this all over again. I also lost my sparring partner a mentor and model of manhood. I'm 32 so I like to think that I've done all of the frowning I need too. Lol but I never thought I would be dreading getting something so awesome.
Now I have the delema of deciding to order my own saber. The want is strong but I'm not sure. I'm going all out in both so I was hoping to get one so I could spare myself if it wasn't what I had hoped. What are the general thoughts on the graflex. The emerald driver and the obsidean v4? Should I drop a ton more money on this? Thanks for listening to me. Sorry for the length. I guess I needed to get that out.

Alongway2go,

I am so sorry for your loss, I just shared your post with my wife and she is just about to cry and told me to stop...I don't know what I would do if I lost my father so suddenly.  My wife very aptly pointed out to me "You are never to old to need your Father"  I think that its going to be hard to adjust, but I think when the Guardian arrives, you should put it on a saber stand next to a picture of your father.  It should be a reminder of all the good times that you all had.  I believe that he would have loved the saber ( I own one and love it) and he would want you to remember all of the good times that you both spent together.  One day you may get the desire to use it and as long as it sits in a place of positivity and remembrance, you will not think of that saber in a negative way.

I made my order! First lightsaber order that is…

Had some troubles with my Visa not being verifiable so I had to wait until I was able to pay with paypal to make my order.

I went for the phantasm initiate v4, regular hilt, vented with 24" blades, stunt sabers but with the more advanced battery setup so I can add sound if I choose to. Also ordered two medium 32" grab bag blades so I can get a feel with both!

I'm planning to make the hilts a bit more "street" using the innards of a bicycle tire and maybe some leather…

Now I just have to wait until my order gets here… I have no patience at all...  ;D

Waiting on my Graflex SE. It was supposed to be here yesterday (12/9/15) but the USPS is awful and slow. I'd be surprised if I have it today, most likely tomorrow. Whats sad is that I live in the same city as US, so it would have been quicker to just go pick the thing up, but that's not really an option.

Alongway2go,

Oof, ouch, my condolences.  So sorry to hear that.  I agree -- put the guardian next to a photo of your father, and give yourself some time.  Best wishes for you.

Mine was due monday the 7th. The last time the tracking info was updated was the 4th.

Not happy with the USPS right now! >:(

Alongway2go, sorry for your loss. My dad passed in 2010 and i miss him alot. Get a Saber stand or wall mount and display it memory of your father.

I know what you mean. The USPS should up their productivity especially around the holidays to make sure that people's packages arrive on time. I thought that since I live within 40 miles of ultrasabers that choosing the USPS option would still have it be here quickly, but it goes to show that the USPS just is terrible, no matter how far or close the package has to travel.

There is no logic when it comes to the USPS. When my parents in Kansas mail packages to me here outside of Cincinnati, OH the packages almost always arrive within 1-2 business days even though my parents ALWAYS choose the cheapest (slowest) postage/shipping option. On the other hand, if I try to mail a letter to my in-laws who live less than two miles away from me the letter always takes 7-10 business days to arrive.

Anyway, I'm eagerly awaiting my first Ultra Saber and emitter (two separate orders). I just got the email and tracking number from Emory for the emitter that I ordered yesterday but my saber is still processing. I'm not complaining because every other custom saber maker said it would take months to get a saber ... I just hope I won't have to wait too long with an emitter in my hand and no saber to go with it. ;)

So I had a massive palm blown to hell. My father and I have always talked about trying some sabers. We are north blade nuts and spen a ton of time sparring. I made the decision to get us both sabers for Christmas. I ordered hum a guardian. I was waiting to check out the quality ( and recharge my wallet) before ordering myself a graflex.
Now my family got some horrific new on Saturday. My dad died of a heart stack at age 51. The kicker. Is that his birthday was Monday. Mainly I'm venting. I'm going to receive that gaudier and have to deal with this all over again. I also lost my sparring partner a mentor and model of manhood. I'm 32 so I like to think that I've done all of the frowning I need too. Lol but I never thought I would be dreading getting something so awesome.
Now I have the delema of deciding to order my own saber. The want is strong but I'm not sure. I'm going all out in both so I was hoping to get one so I could spare myself if it wasn't what I had hoped. What are the general thoughts on the graflex. The emerald driver and the obsidean v4? Should I drop a ton more money on this? Thanks for listening to me. Sorry for the length. I guess I needed to get that out.

Damn!

I agree with others in saying that a nice display with the saber next to a picture of your father would be great. Lots of strength to you and your family!

On the contrary, and much to my surprise, it was delivered about 20 minutes after I made that last post, and BEFORE 7 AM.

Man, this is one beautiful beast of a saber.  Can't wait to play with the LEE filters, take a bunch of pics, and do a video review of it...after my last final exam today.

My Graflex finally says "Out for Delivery" I really feel like it shouldn't have taken 3 days for a delivery from Friendswood Tx to Houston Tx but it is what it is. I am very excited to see it and take, at least the hilt, with me to my Thursday night showing of The Force Awakens. I think I'm even going to try to dress up as Finn and have the graflex with me.

Alongway2go,

So sorry to hear about the loss of your dad!  I just ordered a couple of Ultra Sabers for my son, so that's what drew me to this site and forum.  So, I'm feeling your pain with you.  Hang in there.


As far as our order:

Our first order was a Scorpion - Emerald - Obsidian v4 - we ordered it on Saturday, Nov. 28, and received it on Saturday, Dec. 5th
We also ordered a grab bag saber at that same time, and it was left out of the order on accident - so that shipped out this past Monday, Dec. and is supposed to arrive today (But USPS hasn't updated the tracking since it received it on Monday, Dec. 7th  Argh!) I'm hoping it arrives today since that's the estimated delivery date on the tracking - but no info since Monday as to where it is.  I agree...Stinking USPS!!

Our next order is a Manticore - Emerald - Obsidian V4! - I ordered this last Friday (Dec. 4) and haven't received shipping notification yet.  Hoping it makes it by TFA!  It'll definitely be close.  I did pay a few extra bucks for the FedEx 2 day delivery option...so with my waiting for USPS, I'm feeling like that was a smart move.  :)

It'll be fun to join you all in this forum!

I ordered late afternoon on the 4th, so not too far after you :)

I'm getting an Aeon V4 with Obsidian v4, ultraedge mid-grade blade with DVA & blade plug; a Dominix V4 stunt with Tri-Cree Adegan Silver with standard mid-grade blade and blade plug, a grab bag blade and a cool t-shirt.  My first two sabers, so I'm beyond excited that I'll have them for the 18th.

On a side not. How do I get ahold of accurate sound fonts. I would like to match my garden to the phantom menace and my graflex in a clone wars.

Have a manticore coming with obsidian v4, and emerald.  Went for all the bells and whistles on this one to help determine what I like on future orders.  Still not sure on the upgrade from the v3 to the v4, but maybe I'll like switching sound fonts on the fly.

2 day shipping, so i might do a cartwheel when that "shipped" email comes across :p

(USPS)  I have to say, very impressed with US Staff , best customer service I've seen anywhere in a long time. And of course VERY impressed with my Manticore Blazing Red w windowed emitter -- this thing is awesome !! Put in back in pkg to be wrapped for Christmas so no pics yet but ... Only regret I have so far is not ordering an additional Arctic Blue or Emerald at the same time ...:( but I've already got the ole wish list full

I ordered a Sentinel LE V4 (stunt) for Christmas (I ordered on the 18th)
I went with the silver blade and color discs.
It says it won't be here till the 28th, but it's less than 20 minutes from my location, so I'm hoping for a tomorrow delivery.
I'm looking forward to starting my saber collection!

I really couldn't chose which saber I wanted for my first. Since December 1st, I have made several carts with different styles, sound and no sound included.

Finally, I had decided to order a grab bag, no sound obviously. I went with the random color as well, but upgraded to the ultra grade blade, as I plan on hitting stuff.

I ordered Christmas Day, and am surprised to see it's already in the final processing stage. Hopefully, Living in Dallas will benefit when it comes time to ship!

The wife and I are very excited to see the quality of the random blade, as it's going to influence how we purchase our customized ones.

I understand that, completely.  I "built" so many orders of sabers I really wanted to buy, but kept on backing out and reconsidering, over and over.

In the end, the first saber I ordered was a simple stunt Dark Prophecy.  As soon as it arrived, I was totally hooked, as you can see from my signature line.  I'm eagerly awaiting the time, probably in February, when I'll be able to order again, and am leaning towards an Emerald and Obsidian V4 Scorpion.

I'm relatively new to Ultrasabers and only made this forum account yesterday. I actually ordered my second saber yesterday! Got myself 'The Consular'  w/ obsidian v4 sound in SRD and orange FoC. I've never owned a saber of any kind with sound, not even a toy when younger! So I'm very excited!

I wanted something a bit different, so I chose a slightly obscure colouring. Also asked for a chrome covertec wheel and lower placement to give it a little more unique style.

Planning on weathering the hilt with sandpaper and eventually finding some cool emitter and pommel switches :)

I am completely pumped to receive this! I ordered my first saber only a few months ago and can already feel the addiction surfacing!

Will be vigilantly checking my emails over the coming days/weeks :p

I'm waiting for my Dominix v4 stunt in Tri-cree CG.  I want to get another saber with emerald and obsidian, but I also need to train my Padawans, so I figured this would be a good training saber for them before they get their own.  I've only owned my first saber for about a month.  The addiction has begun.

I'm super pumped. This Dominix V4 will be my first saber - it will mostly be for spinning but may do some light sparring. I plan to order a HG Ultraedge blade if the sparring becomes frequent, but I think for now the lightness of the regular blade will be nice.

I ordered my first saber on Christmas. It's a Heavy Grade Guardian Blue Sentinel V4 with Obsidian Lite. My order status is still listed as Processing. Considering the the crazy amount of business UltraSabers is doing right about now, probably won't see it until the end of the month. I'm on pins and needles waiting for my new baby to arrive!

I ordered my first ever saber on Christmas! I picked out a Dark Menace with blazing red and decided to go without sound. Darth Maul was probably one of my favorite prequel character since seeing Episode 1 in theaters when I was about 7, so this was a great first saber for me to get. I'm so stoked! I don't really duel or anything and I'll probably swing it around here and there, but I wanted a nice display piece for my room, so I opted to get it without sound. I'm definitely going with sound next year though and can't wait to see what new hilts US will have.

Man, it's been a whole week since placing my order well into the Christmas and TFA rush and I'm just getting more and more anxious as the days roll on.

Placed an order for a v4 Dark Apprentice LE as it was the only thing I could nab that caught my attention that was in-stock, and I fitted it with the bell and whistles:

Fire Orange
Red FoC
32" UE Blade; Round Tip
Emitter Windows
Raven SS Pommel
Obsidian USB V4 Sound
Silver Non-Illuminated AV Switch
Standard Blade Plug

I feel you, I'm glad I ordered my saber back when the estimated wait time was 2-4 weeks, as I just checked it and most of them say 3-4 weeks now. On another bright note, my order is no longer able to be edited and it says it is finishing production or its ready to ship, so come on Monday!!!!! I just kinda wished I added a covertec wheel, but I can do it myself.

Finally decided to pull the trigger on my first Ultrasaber. I really want the Archon v2.1 in Consular Green with all the bells and whistles, but it's out of stock for the next few weeks (according to US customer service), so to hold me over, I went with a stunt Dark Sentinel LE V4 in Blazing Red. I figured the Sentinel will be my Dark Side saber while the Archon will be my Light Side saber, since it will initially be Consular Green and I'll probably purchase a Guardian Blue module (I'm going with the quick disconnects so I can switch them out).

I just purchased on 12/31, so obviously with the holiday and rush of orders recently, it may be a few weeks before I've got it in my hands. But man, that's fine! I'm excited nonetheless!

First-time custom saber buyer here. Ordered mine on December 21st. So, it's been almost two weeks. Here's hoping it arrives before a convention I'm attending later this month. :) I made the mistake of checking out as a guest, so... I'm guessing I won't know when it's done until it's shipped via FED-EX. (Is there a shipping notification?)

Flamberge LE with Obsidian Lite Sound
[Main Blade LED Color:Arctic Blue]
[Left Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue]
[Right Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue]
[Main Blade Type:36" Ultraedge Midgrade]
[Left Blade Type:6" Ultraedge Midgrade]
[Right Blade Type:6" Ultraedge Midgrade]
[Flash on Clash:No Flash]
[Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration:Standard Setup]
[Obsidian Lite Sound:Obsidian Lite Soundboard]
[Switch Type (Momentary):Silver Non-Illuminated AV Switch]
[Blade Tip:Round Tips on all blades]

(I would have gotten Arctic Blue on the side blades as well, but sadly, it wasn't an option.)

Hey Parju that is a wicked first saber to get!  Hmmm, as long as you some how added your email while ordering you should get a shipping notification.  Other wise I'm not sure what the procedure is for those who purchase as a guest.  Will you be able to go back to the site and check your order status?

An all blue Flamberge CE will be awesome, I hope you'll share some pics in the Gallery pages of the forum!

Will do, man. I'm interested to see how Arctic Blue will look with Guardian Blue side blades. I know they're supposed to be exhaust ports, but again, Arctic Blue side blades weren't an option. I also feel like an A-hole since I'm looking forward to having an unfair advantage in duels at conventions. ;) And yeah, I gave them my email address, so I guess that means I'll be getting a shipping notification, at least. Thanks for that tidbit.

It was  just under double what I wanted to spend originally. I didn't have to empty my accounts to get it and i still have a chunk of cash tucked away. I bought it as a reward because i had to go through hell and high water to get my truck registered. sometime soon i need to replace the O2 sensor in my truck so i am pricing out that part. The best thing is that the fix is well within my ability to do myself.

yes the total price for the saber (out the door) was $409 originally i selected the same thing but for $275  I opted into getting all the bells and whistles simply because I could

Very excited though :)

I ordered mine on Christmas morning. Believe me I had every intention of waiting til mid Jan. since US has been so busy, but again, they proved themselves the best! So, ordered it 25, shipped a week later...probably getting it later in the upcoming week. Give yours another week, tops. So very exciting, you're right. I laughed out loud at work when I saw my shipping email. Best feeling ever. Is why this is such an addiction; beginning to understand it.

I plan on turning it into a staff when I can save up enough money to order a second one. Unfortunately with the Canadian dollar being what it is, it will be some time before I can get my second saber, considering I have to pay roughly 40% more than the price shown on the site...and I'm dreading my customs charge at this point! But it will all be worth it once I have my Manticore!!  ;D

Just got the email! My saber shipped this morning! (although the email I got said it was shipped out Last night, but with it being Sunday and all, I had to assume it was for this morning)... Will have it in my hands by Thursday!... But I'll be at work :(

you should be fine. the saber will follow a path, if you keep it clean and controlled all your bits and pieces will be out of the line of swings.

See, I try to do this, but I've been off work and dance class, and I have no cosplay projects to work on, so my days have gone like "work out, clean up a little....now what the hell am I going to do with myself for the rest of the day?!"  Things return to normal this week, and once again I will be too busy to breathe.  It will be better :)

Ordered my first on Boxing Day, no shipping email yet but it's coming to the UK and I imagine US are swamped at the min. Still, it's unbearable! Perhaps there should be a separate thread dedicated to supporting those who are bouncing on the edge of their seats... if there's not already.

Oh I did plenty of that. If either of you has the saber shipped on the weekend I hope Fed-Ex actually picks it up when the estimation states and not the following Monday.

That's just two days of unnecessary torture.

Check the website to see if the hilt you ordered is out of stock. If you placed the order and it didn't say out of stock at the time, you should be fine. It may just take a while since they're swamped with countless orders

Did you place an order for one already? I've window-shopped a number of times over the past two weeks or so planning out purchases down the line, and it fundamentally disallows you from adding an item currently out of stock to your cart.

So unless you've already ordered it I wouldn't worry about a thing. If it is out of stock then, yes, it's out of stock.

Hi.  Please be patient and the US team will build your saber just as soon as it is your turn and if the selected saber is not temporarily out of stock.  You haven't mentioned what saber you have ordered.  The saber construction time is a lot shorter than other companies so if you want this specific saber it will be worth the wait.   ;)

Also you must go to the main page to read and acknowledge the Forum Rules.  Look for the large bold red print.   :)

Ultrasabers is doing an amazing job of getting through all these orders! I think my heart skipped a beat when the notification popped up on my phone.

I live in Alberta, Canada, and usually Fedex gets stuff here within a week's time. Can't wait! :D

Alright its my turn to post in this thead.

I am waiting IMPATIENTLY for :


a Graflex CE fully hooked up with all the mods
mainly for "show", I got it with a midgrade blade since I won't be dueling with it, I hope I made the right choice on that, I have no personal experience yet with the different blade types.

and then for dueling,

An Apprentice for my girlfriend, and a Dark Apprentice LE for myself both with UltraEdge Heavy blades.

I am thinking I will receive the 2 Apprentice sabers first since the Graflex was out of stock and I had to ackownledge as such when I ordered.

Can't wait to receive my first UltraSaber!!

So I opted for text alerts for my shipping, in hopes I'd stop looking at the shipping tracker to see when/if it updates..

Nope, still looking at the tracking.

Should be here tomorrow. I think a lot of the excitement is that I have no idea what I'm getting, and as I feel I lean both dark and light, the color is going to decide my future orders.

If it just got there, your batteries should be good for a while as you're playing. I'd give them at least half-hour of use.

Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Darth Logos on January 06, 2016, 10:18:40 PM
Because the batteries will lose a very minimal amount of power during shipping, even though the saber isn't on. If memory serves, a fully charged set of Li-ion cells last at least an hour continuously on a saber with sound. Blade color may have a slight part to play as well, but LEDs don't draw large amounts of juice.

I've only been a member here for a couple of weeks, but this is what has impressed me the most about this forum. The people here are so nice! I've been reading through older threads, and you see a lot of duplicate questions or new threads started for a question that's been answered a hundred times and not once...not once...have I seen someone lose their patience or be unfriendly about answering the question or pointing the person in the right direction. That's really impressive!

Even in the thread from the other day where the OP was ranting about possibly being done with US over some problems they were having, I was expecting the worst, but nope. Everyone was genuinely helpful and understanding and tried to help the OP to calm down and understand the issue and how to resolve it.

I'm so glad to finally be a part of this forum. Now to patiently wait for my first lightsaber to show up...LOL.

To be honest, at least for me and I'm guessing many other Ultrasaber owners, we live vicariously through y'all.  I've got my own purchase plans that'll have to wait a few months, and in the meantime, for free!, I get to be excited via all of you.  :)

I also may have given my girlfriend the lightsaber bug.  If she doesn't go ahead and get one by her birthday, I know what I'm getting her.  I mean, her birthday isn't till July, so she probably will have.  I'll get her a second one, then :P

It's a dream come once you do recieve it. The waiting, the wondering: it is worth it. The minute you ignite the blade? It's 1977 all over again, and Luke's just received his father's blade for the first time. Iconic. Raw power. Beautiful.

Ordered a Initiate V3 due to it being one of those available within my budget and not seeing any I wanted to break my budget for. I placed my order on 1/2/16, order # in the 124,000's so I hope to get a shipping confirmation by Monday but am keeping in mind that US said it'd take 3-4 weeks to construct the saber. Ordered a Consulate Green with a Green Clash so I hope when  they get to constructing Jedi gatos saber they replace the green error I made with a silver, (I read in the Clash on clash post from 2011 that they will adjust as they deem fit_) so I have complete faith in US.

Seeing the posts of late has made me realize that I am not alone in ordering a saber in light of the recent SW movie. This site is awesome and I'm on it everyday since order and will be on it for some time to come due to the good natured folks of this forum.

Hello all, I've now happily joined the 'my saber has shipped' club. Ordered mine on Boxing Day and got the email about 8:00 this morning (UK time), so I don't know if that helps anyone trying to work out how long it's taking US to get through the monumental amount of orders they have. In all honesty, I'm blown away by the turnaround considering the workload those guys have at the minute.

Oh, and yes, I'm bouncing off the walls now... the xanax that Spades helpfully provided me have slightly worn off...

Unfortunately, I don't think that they will make any assumptions about how to construct your saber. I believe if you email customer service [[email protected]] you will have a chance to get this corrected. I assume you ordered a saber w/ sound only? Now if you got and Emerald saber, you'd be able to correct the error yourself.

I am happy for all of you that received their shipping notice since the last time I stepped into this thread.   

I agree with whoever said that thing about living vicariously.

As many of us new Star Wars enthusiast, we can't wait to get our sabers! I am aware how UltraSabers is currently swamped with orders, but just to ease my lack of patience, how long does it usually take to "process" my order and get it shipped? Ordered 24 hours ago and still processing :C. Live in SoCal if it helps the estimated wait! Ty. c: 


Title: Re: Processing time?
Post by: JediGato on January 07, 2016, 11:20:35 PM
SKyfall,


Welcome to the group. Some people will tell you that to just assume the 2-4 week timeframe will be when you receive your items however I've been seeing from the posts here that people get a shipment notification within 2 weeks amidst the huge bump in orders coming in with the release of TFA.

Try to forget about it, but just know that your patient will be rewarded.

It's gonna take a bit, I've noticed a trend of people saying their orders are shipping approximately 10 days after placing the order, so you can sort of use that as a reference for when your saber will roughly ship

when did you order? I ordered on the 28/12/15 - Still haven't seen anything as yet and I'm having trouble getting email replies etc. It's weird because they are replying to other emails and facebook posts here and there. Not sure  what's going on.

Anyhow, I know they are busy and I'm just one guy :)

It was your hoorah that threw me off.  

If the trend continues then that sounds like good news for the both of us.

I am stubbornly refusing to set any expectations past expecting shipping notice on or around the 30th.  (that way I do not drive myself crazy with it and can't be disappointed at all. )    :)

Ah ok - Maybe because it was a grab bag it is getting processed quicker.

Do you think because I ordered a Guardian with nickel plating and flash on clash that it'll take longer? I guess it's not just a simple order?

Plus, I'm in Australia too.... Postage is going to take at least a week in itself :)


Title: Re: Processing time?
Post by: Lev on January 08, 2016, 12:06:36 AM
It's a little slower at the moment due to the high volume of orders, I placed my order on the 26th December and it's still processing. Here's hoping it ships out any day now :) I'm equally impatient so I feel your pain! Been watching my emails like a hawk  :P


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: DarthScrub on January 08, 2016, 12:08:34 AM
It depends on whether the hilt was in stock or not. If it was in stock, I don't see a reason for the order to be processed slower, however, hilts out of stock will take an additional 3-4 weeks before they are fabricated and shipped

In that case, your order should be shipping soon, but I can't promise it will be within the 10 days. That was merely a trend I have noted with people posting their orders shipping

check your spam box... do your best  to cut them some slack as you said ... they are busy.

i ordered mine on delta echo charlie 3015 (12/30/2015)
I am sure we will both be getting the notice soon.

As far as i am concerned, US has set a very reasonable expectation of 3-4 weeks, I will visibly be disheartened after the 30th and not a moment sooner.


leaving me with only the excitement in the event that it ships before that

Hi JoAnnajedi.  Please go to the main page to read and acknowledge the Forum Rules.  Look for the large bold red print.  It seems that presently there are no set guidelines regarding when a saber will be built and shipped, other than a possible 3-4 week wait period.  Then factor in where you live in relation to Ultra Sabers in Texas.   :)

Placed my order Dec 24th and it's still processing. I did order arctic blue,blue illuminated silver switch, with obsidian lite soundboard and windows included so it may take a little bit more effort for them to fabricate rather than just a stock saber without sound. It said below allow 3-4 weeks for fabrication on all parts of the saber so hopefully they are getting close.

I bought an Aeon Le v4 as my first saber, I always felt more like a sith(at least it's what my brother calls me) so I got it in red with the AV switch illuminated red. I liked the look of the AEON LE because of its slimness(thought it would be useful in dueling) and the anodized gold, as the regular one looked a little to plain for me. 5 days of waiting as of tomorrow and the anticipation is killing me!!

US is pretty swamped right now...depending on whether or not the hilt you ordered was in stock, and when you ordered it...I believe the average was seven to ten days after ordering ? Even so, they're doing the best the can considering the sheer volume of orders they're fielding, their 'best' being the fastest and most efficient in the business... keep in mind that's not a guarantee. The waiting is quite killer, I agree, but when Baby arrives? Ohhh, soooo worth itttt! Congrats on your purchase, enjoy your saber once it gets to you!

Also remember that all the sabers are fabricated as the order comes in. Theyou don't have a sock of basic parts, even the grab bag sabers, so that plays a big factor as well. I asked about it all and Marlene, I think her name was, responded with that info.

Where do the sabers ship out from? I'm wondering how many days til I get mine if it shipped yesterday. :)

Post by: Racona Nova on January 08, 2016, 06:14:00 PM
They ship from Friendswood, Texas. Normally, within the U.S. it should not take more than a week. International shipping may take up to two weeks, depending on different factors.

So I made my decision and placed my order. ;D After first looking at getting an Initiate then an Aeon or Dominix I eventually opted for  Standard Issue Battle Saber v3 with Obsidian Lite [Blade LED Color:Consular Green] [Flash on Clash:No Flash] [Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration:Standard Setup] [Blade Length:36" Standard Size] [Blade Option:Mid Grade] [Obsidian Lite Sound:Obsidian Lite Soundboard] [Pommel:Regular Vented Pommel (hole in bottom) [Recommended]] [Switch Type (Momentary):Silver Non-Illuminated AV Switch] [Blade Tip:Round Tip] [Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!] [Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Standard Plug] [Include Saber Stand:No Thanks] [Include Covertec Clip:Yes!] [Install Covertec Wheel:Yes ($10 install + $4 covertec)]
Just got to wait up to 5 weeks for it to arrive. I've already got plans for mods, o'rings in the grooves, leather cord or string wrapping for better grip, also toying with the idea of putting carbon wrap on certain parts but I'm not sure about that.

FYI to anyone concerned about having their saber show up at their house (or worse, at work, considering some people's jobs have strict no-weapons policies), I have submitted a question via email to US about the possibility of having the saber ship for hold at a FedEx location.  I'll let you guys know what if anything I find out.

it depends on its intended use...  
example, A baseball bat is a weapon by it self,  if there is a ball and glove, then it is not. A package can only legally be opened by the recipient so it is just a box until you open it. I do not get things delivered to my work, ever. but to each their own.

either way, I honestly think that it might just be easier for you to contact fedex to request a hold at a local facility once your tracking number goes live. It complicates the shipping process for US. BUT!!!   that is in face exactly what delivery services specialize in.

Which in a pinch I would do (call in the HAL after the fact), though what you often don't hear is that there's a typically a one business day (occasionally 2) delay caused by doing a redirect to hold.  Which is why ideally I would like the package to originate with the FedEx location as the address right from the start...

Exactly. also choose your words carefully.  I stay far away from the word "weapon" unless I am specifically referring to a fire arm.  The reason is that a knife could be a weapon or a tool.  An ultrasaber (HG DUELING and all )  can be called a toy, and you would easily be able to justify it simply by turning it on.  look it makes noise .....   Distraction is IRL jedi mindtricks

i understand what you want. i guess if it is not stated on the box it would be a hassle to get it changed mid ship...

Not sure what to make of this other than not to expect it to take the full 4 weeks the in stock saber page told me at the time of order.

Newbie here, ordered a Guardian about 10 days ago and looking forward to when it arrives - my first saber ever.

I ordered mine with one with a non-illuminated silver AV switch but having watched a number of video reviews, I am now having second thoughts on whether I should go with an illuminated black or silver switch in blue or red.

I know this is purely cosmetic but honestly this feature has caused me the most anxiety and just when I thought I had it all figured out, I am apparently still undecided!!  Please help!!

Minor side note - the allen wrench: I ordered my saber without the allen wrench as I have a few of these kicking around the tool box but is it worth getting the one from US?  I thought I heard some people comment that they can't use their existing allen wrenches to fit the head of the screw and I won't know my situation until my saber arrives.  If I do make a change with the AV switch I may grab the wrench otherwise I'll take my chances with what I've got on hand.

Post by: Nick8007 on January 09, 2016, 04:25:05 PM
It's just essentially an allen key to remove the blade, not necessary if you have one that size, but for $1, it was worth it to me to just have it, so I don't have to go digging through the tool box. As far as the illuminated switch, it's just a cherry on top. Not necessary, the upside of NOT having one is that you'll have a longer battery life.

Ya you had pretty good timing there just before the new movie came out and before Christmas where they probably had a bit of a break. I ordered on Christmas day so I expected it to be the 3-4 weeks processing time but am glad it was shipped out in exactly 2 weeks time. Can't wait till it arrives.

get the wrench with one saber order, that way you will not have to break up your existing set. its only a dollar. 

FOR EVERYONE ELSE :

Please note that in the United States there are two types of measurements when you deal with wrenches and hex keys.  Metric and Standard. The difference is microns. but it is enough to slip and strip your screws, nuts and bolts. Please keep this in mind.  When you insert a wrench or screwdriver or whatever, the fit should be snug with NO play.  it should not wiggle or shift at all prior to gripping.

your wrench either fits it, or doesn't

Sweet!  Shipping notice!

Now, before anyone gets worked up over how fast mine shipped (just ordered yesterday), bear in mind that I ordered an empty saber and a yari extension.  Still, interesting to see that they're working the weekends to try to get caught up with the tidal wave of ep. VII inspired orders.

So, I'm getting a neat pommel, an awesome hilt to do a custom build on, a crossguard piece that I have no idea what I'll do with, two side emitters that will make for great extensions for hilts that I want to add some length to, various other connecting bits that can be used to dress up hilts, and three blade holders that will get circle blade plugs installed so I can easily configure my current Flamberge for belt carry or even just to use without the side blades "ignited".  Tons of useful parts on that empty Flamberge.

Also, a Yari extension for a future project, and a blade with it to work out the intricacies of cutting blades to custom length.

Not as exciting an order as a whole new saber (and believe me, I'm looking forward to my next big order, which will be an RGBA Emerald Scorpion), but lots of neat bits to play with.

Well I went and did it.  Ordered my first saber, and I might have overdone it a little (is there such a thing?)

The Guardian with Sound (Emerald)
[Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue for Emerald]
[Emerald Driver Configuration:4 Channel Emerald Driver - RGBW LED]
[Flash on Clash:Flash Silver for Emerald]
[Pulse Mode:Pulse Off]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup for Emerald (Batteries & VP1 Charger Included)]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Blade Length:36" Standard Size]
[Blade Option:UltraEdge]
[Sound:Yes, Install Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]]
[Switch Type (Momentary):Black GUARDED Switch]
[AV Switch Channel:Channel 4 (Dedicated to AV Switch) [Recommended]]
[Shroud Finish:Standard Finish]
[Blade Tip:Round Tip]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!]
[Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Standard Plug]
[Include Saber Stand:No Thanks]
[Include MINI USB Cable:Yes]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks] 

Thought about the silver A/V switch but reading about the (very few) issues people are having with them, I'm fine with the default black guarded one.  No one will be looking at the power button, anyway :)  An Emerald Guardian for my first saber!  It only cost half of my current bank balance! :)

Nice! Congrats! I'm planning to go with the Archon v2.1 when it comes back in stock and I'll be doing the full treatment like you did (Emerald/Obsidian v4/etc). The one thing I'm on the fence about is the illuminated AV switch. I keep going back and forth between getting it or going for the non-illuminated version instead.

Can anyone explain if there's a benefit to going with a non-illuminated AV switch on an Emerald saber? By having that 4th channel available to the blade, what options does that open up for the blade colors (if any)?

Thanks!  I know that the illuminated switch takes the White LED out of the Emerald's RBGW so you have to fiddle a lot more with it to get lighter colors.  Which is fine, but I didn't really want an illuminated switch anyway :)

Thank you. That's exactly what I wanted to know. I think I'll end up going with the non-illuminated switch so I've got all 4 channels dedicated to the blade color (which is more important to me anyway).

I set one of my Dark Menaces to full white LED for a bit, but couldn't help feeling like I was swinging around a fluorescent light tube.  Still handy to have, but my next Emerald saber will be RGBA, to give me more flexibility with the yellows and oranges.

Yes, you can get some good yellows and oranges.

But, in my experience, you can also get your colors to be a more pale, lighter version without bringing the white LED into it.  JMHO, but with my two Dark Menaces, I don't think I've ever used the white LED except that once, to see how dim the filters really made the blade get with an AS blade.

But since this is my first saber I have no idea how long it's going to take to come in. I read a post that they ship in 1-3 days but my order is currently set at processing. The wait is killing me but its just because I'm so excited to get started!


With the new movie and christmas, plus everyone taking off a week, it's probably gonna take closer to 2 weeks to ship

Hey mate, when did you order? I ordered on the 28/12/15 and I'm from Australia also (Sunshine Coast, QLD).

Ordered the Gaurdian Hilt in Guardian Blue with Violet Amethyst FOC. Added the nickel plated option with a black av switch that lights up in blue. Should look sweet!

Still waiting for it to ship :(

I ordered on the same day you did. So it hopefully won't be too long until yours ships too. Good choice in saber.

According to an email I got from Marlene, I think that's her name, all sabers are fabricated as orders come in. Not have anything really prebuilt. I assume some hilts require special parts and must be ordered, which is why they go out of stock. I DONT KNOW DONT TAKE THIS FROM ME! haha

Well I went and did it.  Ordered my first saber, and I might have overdone it a little (is there such a thing?)

The Guardian with Sound (Emerald)
[Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue for Emerald]
[Emerald Driver Configuration:4 Channel Emerald Driver - RGBW LED]
[Flash on Clash:Flash Silver for Emerald]
[Pulse Mode:Pulse Off]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup for Emerald (Batteries & VP1 Charger Included)]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Blade Length:36" Standard Size]
[Blade Option:UltraEdge]
[Sound:Yes, Install Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]]
[Switch Type (Momentary):Black GUARDED Switch]
[AV Switch Channel:Channel 4 (Dedicated to AV Switch) [Recommended]]
[Shroud Finish:Standard Finish]
[Blade Tip:Round Tip]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!]
[Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Standard Plug]
[Include Saber Stand:No Thanks]
[Include MINI USB Cable:Yes]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks] 

Thought about the silver A/V switch but reading about the (very few) issues people are having with them, I'm fine with the default black guarded one.  No one will be looking at the power button, anyway :)  An Emerald Guardian for my first saber!  It only cost half of my current bank balance! :)

Sounds fantastic!

My saber left the US yesterday and has now arrived in Sydney, Australia.

My saber is two hours away from me right now and I can sense it's presence.

So excited!

So excited for you mate! Who did you ship with? I paid another $30 AUD and went with USPS because I know they clear customs and get through from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast pretty quickly (plus they deliver 3 times per week, whereas Fedx only come here once per week).

SO EXCITING!!!!

It reall depends on your order, based on the "I'm patiently waiting for my ____" thread. (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=1403.0;topicseen) Grab Bags seem to be shipping in a matter of days, while higher tier sabers take longer. Only thing for sure is that US is really busy right now so wait times will we longer than usual.


Title: Re: Processing time?

I wouldn't say days, per se, but yeah it'll take a little longer I think for more complex sabers or sabers that are out of stock in general

-Vented adjustable coupler

-Grab bag saber+covertec

I think you meant grab bag blades :D No, those are normally standard length, i.e. 36". If you want shorter blades, you should state that in the Order Comments, maybe Emory can take care of that. It's not guaranteed, though!

When you order a grab bag you have the option to choose length and kind of blade (I grabbed a screenshot to show you)

(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc428/boschetta/Grab%20bag_zpse6agt5bj.jpg)


For non-grab bag orders, as Racona Nova said, standard lenght is 36"

Yep I understand that, ordered that way for my first saber. I'd prefer to order grab bag blades this time - as they're cheaper.

I can just cut them down myself if they wont do it.. For some blades the 32 is standard, and the 36 is listed as extra long; hence my confusion.

Screenshots attached.

For all Initates/Apprentices the standard length is 24" because 36" is a bit too long for such a small hilt.
For all other sabers the standard blade length offered is 36".

Shipping to Australia via USPS (cost me more than FedEx), however it apparently clears customs faster?

6-10 business days and I'll swing up a review.

Gut feel is that I'll get mine next week as USPS likely hand these parcels off to AusPost and that's where to slow down will occur.

Shipping to Australia via USPS (cost me more than FedEx), however it apparently clears customs faster?

6-10 business days and I'll swing up a review.

VERY EXCITED!!!!!!!! YAHOO!!!!!!

That means my jitters will only last like 12 more days! (Also a new Guardian!)

What color is it, btw?

in my experience this just means that someone scanned it possibly loading the truck or something. Systems take time to update all servers and stuff some times. check the tracking tomorrow afternoon.

My 1st order, Grab Bag with blade and color choice was ordered on 1/6. I waited all of 2 days to order my Manticore CE. Now another 2 days has passed and I am looking at Prophecy V3.

I need to control myself...

I feel your pain. Ordered a Dark Sentinel LE V4 on 12/31 (my first lightsaber) and already plan to get the Archon v2.1 when it's back in stock. I've come THIS CLOSE to ordering a Consular in the interim, but I'm trying to show some restraint. I haven't even received the Dark Sentinel yet and I've already got my next 3-4 purchases planned out.

It's definitely an addiction.

Same issue here - It's been "shipped" but hasn't actually been picked up/loaded in the van for distribution on the tracking network as yet.

We're in the same boat - So all good :)

I ordered on Tuesday the 29th! And it's an emerald Manticore with v4 sound so I imagine it took a bit of fabrication.

Same color, but I spent so much time agonizing over a color that I went with an Emerald driver.

We'll have to compare Guardian Blue Guardians to see if there's a difference between an Emerald driver Guardian Blue Guardian or whatever I was about to say :)

Nice! I'll probably have to save up for a year before I get another...but...one Ultrasaber a year would be a nice treat, wouldn't it?

I don't have my first yet either but I keep examining the hilts...we have issues here!

I was thinking Prophecy V3 or Archon 3 or Graflex....

Very nice indeed!

I'd love to get into an emerald saber, but the exchange rate is killing me here in Australia.

2 weeks ago $1 AUD bought $0.74c USD....

Today, its like $0.68USD.... Getting into an expensive hobby. :)

So, looks like I'm going to push forward and get the Prophecy V3 with obsidian lite. May be able to stretch an AV switch and FOC... I'll see what happens :)

Quick question - Annakins lightsaber in the attack of the clones was Guardian Blue, right?

I went Guardian Blue with VA on my Guardian.... Thinking I might go Guardian Blue with Silver FOC this time.

Ideas?

Yeah. It's GB. I'd suggest going obsidian v4 if you can. The Li-Ion batteries will pay for themselves quickly. Moreso than buying random rechargeables and obviously regular batteries.

Can you go Obsidian sound on an Obsidian Lite setup/Non premium sound?
The Obsidian Lite Soundboard is the more cost effective option for customers that want sound in their Ultrasaber but don't need all the extra features or just want to save some cash! The Obsidian Lite operates with the Standard Setup. Standard Setup is a setup that uses regular AAA batteries to power your saber. (4xAAA batteries for all colors). You can use regular Alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiMh batteries (not provided). Li-Ion Setup is not an option on sabers equipped with the Obsidian Lite soundboard. If you are interested in a Li-Ion battery setup please go for a saber equipped with Premium Sound.

The Obsidian Lite Soundboard still uses the same speaker and still provides a loud and awesome sound experience with your Ultrasaber. You still get multiple clash (impact) sounds, multiple motion (woosh, woosh) sounds, a power up sound, a power down sound, a boot sound, an idle hum, and a lockup sound. So there is nothing lacking in that department. The default Obsidian soundfont comes pre-installed on your saber in its entirety.

However, by opting for the Lite version of the Obsidian soundboard you do lose the USB port on your saber and do not have the option to change your soundfont or adjust your hardware parameters. You also lose the option to have multiple soundfonts installed on your saber at one time.

Finally ordered my Guardian!  Ordered it in Sun Riders Destiny, finally gave in and went for the Obsidian Lite.  I realized that after playing with it quite a bit at first, my other Obisidian-equipped hilt ended up with the default sound font and hasn't changed in forever, so why wait for something I wasn't going to use anyway?

Now to survive that "two-to-four week fabrication" delay....  ARGH!!!!!

So I'm kinda addicted to these sabers and I haven't even received my very first one as yet.

I ordered the Guardian around Christmas which has shipped over the weekend and now I've gone and placed another order without even receiving my first. I think my bank account hates me! My new order:

1 of : Dominix v3 [Switch Color Notification:Acknowledged][Blade LED Color:Blazing Red][Battery Configuration:Standard Setup][Recharge Port:No Recharge Port][Blade Length:36" Standard Size][Blade Option:Mid Grade][Pommel:Regular Solid Pommel (No Sound) [Recommended]][Blade Tip:Round Tip][Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks][Include Blade Plug:No Thanks][Include Saber Stand:No Thanks][Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks][Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks]

•1 of : Prophecy v3 with Obsidian Lite Sound [Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue][Flash on Clash:Flash Silver][Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration:Standard Setup][Blade Length:36" Standard Size][Blade Option:Heavy Grade][Obsidian Lite Sound:Obsidian Lite Soundboard][Pommel:Regular Vented Pommel (hole in bottom) [Recommended]][Switch Type (Momentary):Blue Illuminated Silver AV Switch][Blade Tip:Round Tip][Include Retention Screw Wrench:No  

So hopefully I'll see my Guardian soon and get to play with the other two above before the end of the month :)

Next purchase will be the Archon V3 or Graflex, but at this rate my wife won't be letting me buy anymore until at least July.

So just a day has gone since I recieved the email that my first saber had shipped and it feels like forever. Stoked to be part of this hobby after being a life long fan. But honestly I dont know how you guys cope with the wait on sabers!

My saber shipped today, and for whatever reason the shipping is overnight rather than the 2 day shipping I paid for :D Must be because I live in Texas

I'm gonna have my saber tomorrow!

Yeah man, I can't wait. I had a feeling it was gonna ship today, took 10 business days to ship, though I'm still surprised I'm getting the overnight shipping treatment, I wonder if that has to do with the wait time?

I'll probably never find out, but I'm curious if Emory's response is

/palpatine{Gooood, goooooood!}

or more like

/sobbing I JUST WANT TWO DAYS OFF IN A ROW OKAY?!?

it might have everything to do with the fact that you are in state? its like one shipment then its on the truck an out for delivery.

Yes, this is my first. Knowing I'm getting is what makes it so bad. I wish I didn't know so I wouldn't be thinking about it all day and when it came in it would be a real surprise.

So I got a response about the term "Ready to Ship"


"Ready to ship just means that we have verified that we have the parts in stock and your order is in the fabrication queue.  I apologize for any misunderstanding."

so does that mean fabrication time(2-4 weeks) starts when "processing"turns to "ready to ship or...? I'm on day 13 in total but day 6 from when first saw "ready to ship". I'm gonna pass out if thats true>>>I (we) have been waiting so long lolol.

I have seen a few posts that have confirmed their items have been marked as shipped. I think I saw an order placed on Dec. 29th that was sent out so US is making a dent through the holiday orders, that much is certain.

I placed my order on 1/2/16 so I hope by end of the week I'll get that nice shipping notification.

Good luck everyone.

I would also expect that the more complex it is, the longer the build time.  And that's not just in the options you picked, either.  I suspect that an saber built on a saber without a removable (normally MHS) emitter is a little trickier than one that IS removable.  Compound that with Emerald drivers, recharge plugs if you've got em, configuring colors, flash, and pulse if you ordered those to be turned on, etc.  I waited a couple weeks, I think, for my Emerald Flamberge with recharge port, and that was in early December, before the holidays threw another hiccup into the mix.

All very valid. And important to remember. I wonder why all the hilts don't feature interchangable parts for all sections on a saber.

At this point, none of us knows where they're at in clearing the backlog.  And let's face it, they've been putting out a stupid amount of orders every month, so to be keeping it to just a week or three for most orders is amazing. 

It's telling, though, that we're all distressed by a few weeks, when most sabersmiths out there have wait lists of half a year or far, far longer.

Lots of truth here. I've seen 26week estimations when I was looking for my first saber. 26 weeks before they even start making the saber.

remember that part at the end of the Lord of the Rings, when Frodo and Sam are standing just outside Morodor, look at the mountain in the distance after traveling so far?  Remember how exhausted with their journey they looked? how far they have traveled, only to have the incredibly daunting task of  trudging 4-5 more days across a barren landscape littered with enemies and danger only to have to climb to the top of the volcano just to drop the ring in a pool of lava?   yeah that is what this feels like.    at first " YEAH   I MADE IT !   *Happy dance*"  at the same time.... "two more days..... "  :'(

I can see the finish line at least. which is what is important. and the best part is that i was told 3-4 weeks and I am getting it in 2.  totally stoked,  now i just need to prepare myself for the most painful wait of them all. The day it arrives and I am at work until 10pm.... hopefully it comes earlier in the day but I am not going to be picky.

Ordered a Dominix Le V4 and a Dark Initiate LE v4-- I hope I have it in my hands by this weekend.

Order from 12/30 shipped today (Jan12).

Order from 12/19 has not shipped because one item is out of stock. The 2 grab bag sabers included in the order are being held until all 3 things are ready to go. (so it seems).

Keeping that in mind, I will place out of stock orders separately from now on.

Just to give you all some perspective:

I ordered on the 28/12/15 and my order was posted on the 11/1/16 - Order number 121xxx

I ordered again on the 11/1/16 - Order number 128xxx

So, in a matter of 14 days between orders, Ultra Sabers have received in the vicinity of 7,000 new orders - That's around 500 orders per day during this period.

Now, some of those orders, like me, could contain multiple sabers thus increasing the baseline figure of 7,000 drastically.

Yes, some of those orders may also be for trivial items such as stands, blades and bits and pieces.

I think we all get the picture :)

OK, just checked, and noticed the order status was "Ready to Ship".

READY TO SHIP!!!!!!!

Does that mean ... ready to ship? 

*feints*

Wait...  Never mind.  The header is "Ready to Ship" but the individual order status on the right column is "processing".

*sigh*  Got a little excited there...  :-)

look at the top entry of page 113 i think it was. there is a definition of "Ready to Ship". I got it right from US customer support in an email.

Does anyone know how long the Dark Initiate LE V4 has been out of stock? I ordered on 1/8 and I dont remember seeing it out of stock then but it is now. Also, if any of you ordered an out of stock saber before the new year but after Christmas, have you gotten yet? How long did it take to get to you?

No, I just came to say that my brother in law ordered his dark apprentice 3 days before I ordered my saber (both our first sabers) and was due for delivery today. He was at work all day and missed the delivery. The poor soul opened the door to a 'we missed you' paper by Fed Ex. He'll get it tomorrow hopefully but may our thoughts and prayers be with him tonight.

If he thinks being home is impossible, he should call 1-800-GO-FEDEX and have it redirected to hold at location at the nearest convenient FedEx location.  This will add (usually) a one-day delay for the reroute, but once it hits the FedEx location then he's got 5 business days to pick it up when it works for his schedule.

I'm going to have mine shipped straight to a FedEx for that reason.

With the Dark Intinate V4 being out of stock now will that affect my order even though I ordered it on 12/31 and it says it's " Ready to ship"? Granted, it's been ready to ship since last Monday.

It was just a few months ago that I was waiting on my first.  Granted, the wait wasn't as long, since the mega-rush of orders hadn't started, but I didn't know that at the time, either.

Also got a Dark Initiate LE V4 on the 31st. Hope it doesn't mess with the order of it being out of stock ;/. It didn't say out of order when I had it; and the order has been saying "Ready to ship" While the side bars said "Processing for the last week." On day 13 xD. Still though, a lightsaber out in almost 2 weeks after being hammered is impressive to say the least.

Download Audacity and you can record any sound that comes through your computer speakers for use. Edit them a bit, make them loop, etc.


The learning curve is actually pretty small. It's fun!

So, first thing I'm going to do with my empty Flamberge hilt is cut down the blade plugs I have set aside for the sidemitters and install them in the new blade holders.  I've realized, though, that I actually am going to need to pop the metal part out of the third one and install it on a LONGER blade tube for the main blade emitter.  In any event, that's the easiest way to put in plugs for that saber for belt carry. 

Then, I'll put the yari extension on my Dark Apprentice V4 LE and play around with that for a bit.

Then I'm going to go through the rest of the bits that make up the empty hilt and see what all useful stuff I get out of it, aside from the hilt itself for an eventual DIY build.

Tomorrow should be fun.

"Patiently" is not a word I can describe myself as while waiting for my saber to arrive, I keep checking on it to see if I received a email. But I did notice that it said "order ready to ship" for anyone that has seen this status, how long does it usually take for it to ship and then receive the FedEx number?

It just means that your saber has been built and you can't modify any thing else in your order.  It is probably either waiting to be picked up for shipping or has shipped and the system hasn't been updated.  Was a tracking number attached to your account yet?

I was flip flopping between the illuminated AV switch and was too slow to make that (potential) change as I got the shipping email earlier this week. So I guess it's a non illuminated silver AV switch for my Guardian. I'm ok with it and I suppose if I really want to change this later I can send te hilt back to US for an upgrade? Anyone done something similar?

You don't have long to wait now. If you received tracking info then you're good. But it seemed like mine was held in us house for a day before FedEx picked it up. It's scheduled to be in my hands by tomorrow when I get out of work.

Hope this helps .

Yeah, this is my first one as well, though I've already got my next one designed and ready to go when it's back in stock (Archon v2.1, Emerald, Obsidian v4, basically the full treatment). And here I thought technology (my other addiction) was an expensive hobby! Then again, even the most fully loaded lightsaber from US is still cheaper than a high-end cell phone, so I've got that going for me, which is nice. LOL.

I'm not expecting mine to arrive anytime real soon ... I ordered on the 8th, so I think it will be a couple of weeks yet.
However, my order does say "Ready to Ship" on the main status, with the two detailed parts of the order showing "processing" (on the right side of the page)

I suspect it may be either in final assembly or be assembled and just waiting for packing and shipping, which in itself is a lengthy process and can be time-consuming.

So, returning to my virtue-building.  Patience comes from waiting, after all...

*returns to meditation*

USPS is a good way to ship but tracking numbers tend to be just a series of numbers on the label.  I have found in the past (its been years since i have ordered anything on the internet.) but USPS never gave me any tracking numbers that work.

Let me know if your experience differs.

Hi there!
My first post - first time buyer - longtime reader  :)

I ordered an Apprentice LE v4 with Obsidian V4 on 01/14/2016.

Shipped today!
Now waiting for it to arrive in Germany (and clear customs?!)

Have a great day everyone.
I'm really happy and looking forward to my fist saber.

kind of exciting your day/week could instantly be made by receiving the shipped notification and presumably a few days later when the saber gets delivered.

But he ordered an Apprentice v4 and I ordered a Dominix LE v4 so maybe the apprentices are sitting there in stock or something.

Yeah, of ALL of the mail and courier services, none delivers better and more up to date tracking than FedEx.  I will definitely go that route when it comes time for me.  Also, a hint: while damage is NOT impossible either way, Express may reduce the probability of damage at least a little.

makes sense, express is a more direct route so it should cross less hands. UPS is just as good for tracking updates, but if provided the option i wont select USPS.

It just means that your saber has been built and you can't modify any thing else in your order.  It is probably either waiting to be picked up for shipping or has shipped and the system hasn't been updated.  Was a tracking number attached to your account yet?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know that it means I can't modify my order, but it's been "processing" and "ready to ship" since January 2nd, thus making me a bit uneasy. Many reports of Guardian sabers or other sabers that were purchased around the same date, that not only have been already shipped, but received as well.

I just wanted to know how long does an order in "ready to ship" status gets shipped, when nothing is backordered.

I'm very patient, that's not the problem, but I just want to that everything is ok and that there's no problems.

Edit: Order was placed on December 31st. and been "Processing" since, but got the "ready to ship" status update on January 2nd. Saber is a Guardian with Obsidian soundboard, no flash on clash, guardian blue LED, 36 inch blade Ultra edge heavy grade without any illuminated switches. I chose USPS since I always had great service with them, while FedEx has been terrible over here. (Quebec, Canada)

May the Force be with you all, and thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

It would be nice to have a finer granularity of status updates that made sense.

"Ready To Ship" means they have all the parts available and the fabrication process has started.

That doesn't seem like it's ready to ship to me.

Morel like "In Fabrication" once that's done it's "In Quality Inspection" then "Ready To Ship"

Oh well, I'm just going about my normal routine just waiting for the ship notice...

here is my time line.  12/30/15 order placed
1-11-16 shipping notification stating information received by fedex.
1-12-16 picked up by fedex
12-13 to 12-14-16 traveled to AL and is currently in PA. 

Mine was listed as ready to ship for a day or two and the official answer is that all parts requested have been accounted for, and they are making it.

So from this i gather that when you receive your ready to ship status on the site its telling us  that you are somewhere between fabrication of the hilt, and it being put together. Once that is done its packaged and shipping information is forwarded to the shipper.

Yay, new toys are here.  The yari extension is interesting, although eventually it's not going to be used on its own but rather with two more and a specific saber.  36" blade on the Apprentice V4 that I first hooked it up to is just LONG on a super long handled saber like this.

Lots of neat bits and pieces to be used on the empty hilt.

Time to play around now.

1x yari extension,

With the exception of a few outliers, it seems as if US is nearly the end of the Dec (Fabrication) orders and getting on a start on sending those Jan 2016 orders out with each passing day.

Patience is key but this doesn't stop me from refreshing my order page on US's website while trying to be patient.

That is why I fail.

I just saw an opportunity to use that Yoda quote but it's ok because I know if it wasn't today, it could possibly be the next day. Given their high reputation and the overwhelming support for US on this forum, I know I have nothing to worry about.

I suppose I fail because I can't stop checking the order status even though I know damn well I'll get an e-mail.

I think you perhaps just got lucky sir :) Ive seen a lot of people who ordered on 1/2-1/4 who ordered a similar setup (sound, etc) and already have them in hand. I think I'm just one of the unlucky ones.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: 123outerme on January 16, 2016, 12:07:59 AM
Here's my specs for anyone interested:

Aeon v4 with Obsidian Premium Sound (It's a good looking saber for the price)
[Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue] (Blue is my favorite color, I'm more a light side guy, and I watched Ep 4 so Luke's lightsaber really stuck. And I'm a cheapskate who can't be bothered to order a more expensive color)
[Flash on Clash:No Flash] (Like I said, a cheapskate. And I'm on a tighter budget)
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries & VP1 Charger Included)] (No matter how cheap I am, I need a VP1 charger)
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port] (I'm too lazy, just see FoC)
[Blade Length:32" Length] (Because I'm around 5'6")
[Blade Option:UltraEdge Heavy Grade] (I hear Blue looks amazing in this, and I might get OCPD about dents and stuff)
[Windows:No Windows in Emitter] (They were out, otherwise I would've at least considered it)
[Pommel:Regular Vented Pommel (hole in bottom) [Recommended]] (See FoC again)
[Sound:Yes, Install Obsidian USB V3 Sound! [V3]] (I would like to change my soundfont, but none of the bonuses of V4 seem like I'd use them a lot, and once again see FoC)
[Switch Type (Momentary):Black GUARDED Switch] (Still too lazy)
[Blade Tip:Round Tip] (Not cheap here, I want to duel with these and I personally prefer rounded tips, at least through what I've seen)
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!] (It's my first saber, and I even though we have one, I'd like to not have to sort through the garage to get it)
[Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Standard Plug] (I like the look of the plug and the protection it offers, both to the saber and the eyes)
[Include Saber Stand:No Thanks] (Cheap again, but I find it unnecessary anyways. It would be more fun to make one)
[Include MINI USB Cable:No Thanks] (I have at least 2 of these that I use as phone chargers. One for my backpack, one for home)
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks] - [Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks] (I'm pretty much always gonna have my blade in my saber, and when I won't, it'll be in my closet w/ the blade plug. Also, once again I'm on a tight budget)

So after reading that wall of text, how long would it take for US to get around to shipping one of these? I ordered it after work hours on 1/13.

US is currently providing a 2-4 week lead time. That being said, from what I've seen, its more along the lines of 1-2.5/3 weeks. It depends on how far they've caught up

Thanks for the quick response! So I guess it should get in next Friday, or Monday. It's a shame because all my packages seem to come on a border between a Friday and Monday. I'm glad I ordered my saber, though, and I can't wait!

In an apartment...where do you do it so you don't accidentally wreck stuff if you lose control?  Me, I don't want to have an accidental Ren incident... ;)

Fortunately, I have a vaulted ceiling in my living room so there's plenty of height to swing the Dominix. Now if I said I haven't hit my bluray shelf or couch once or twice, I'd be lying. But hey, I'm a Sith, so that hasn't happened yet! -wink-

No, FedEx 2Day Saturday is a special service with a significant surcharge (which I remember at about $25, though it could've gone up since the last time I dealt with it), and is not part of the standard 2-day service.

Ground, oddly, DOES deliver on Saturday to residences only.  However, in my opinion the extra you pay to get 2-day air is worth it for reducing the odds of damage to fragile shipments.

Waiting for my Guardian! Obs.v4 with Pyrestone Orange.  :)  Ordered 2 days ago. My wife wants an all black hilt. She was looking at the Dark Sentinel. I think I might surprise her with a Dark Prophecy, Amethyst with Obs. Lite.

correct Dark Initiate v4. my next order is going to be comprised of a Ultraedge blade and a (dark) catalyst pommel. I tweaked the emerald setting to do a subtle rapid pulse. I tweaked the preconfigured SRD mix a little but only a couple % points on blue for the main blade. The pulse is set to a slightly off shade of teal FoC was left default.

Gonna change it later today to a different color. Increase the duration of the pulse and change the FoC to a paler shade of the main blade color.

I will give you my impressions in a separate thread when time permits.

So, this is what happened. My saber was shipped on Friday with the Standard Overnight option. FedEx does standard deliveries on Saturdays. Me: I should get my first saber tomorrow! Saturday comes. No saber. I check the tracking number and it's still in TX?! Wait, call FedEx and see what's going on. My saber was shipped as Standard 2 BUSINESS DAY! (insert obligatory Vader "NOOO" meme)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Darth Justicar on January 17, 2016, 03:43:22 PM
Saturday delivery is a completely different service from typical overnight service and would cost you an extra $25 or more per package, depending on what the Saturday surcharge is up to by now.

Well, it is possible for something to take a flight on Saturday or go through the sort even without Saturday service...but it won't be delivered on a Saturday.  The one exception to that is FedEx Ground, which DOES do Saturday delivery to residences at no additional charge.  But with Express there will always be a Saturday surcharge.

Even though I know that it's illegal to FORCE your workers to work on a weekend/national holiday, I'm still refreshing my order page like a madman. I'm conflicted because next week is my midterms, but US can't work on my saber until I start midterms. I want to wish it was Tuesday already, but yet I don't.

Hello everyone! I'm new here and I just ordered my first ever saber on Jan 14th.

I ordered a guardian with 4 channel RGBW emerald driver and obsidian v4 sound. It was a bit pricey but for my first saber I wanted to just go ahead and go ALL out! I love Obi-wan's sabers in the movies and in the future I want a saber based on his ep 3 and 4 version as well.

I want to give thanks to Emory. I made a newbie mistake on my order, trying to set it as a 2 channel B+G and choosing a blue illuminated switch on the 4th channel because in the dropdown options it said "recommended". I knew it seemed to be at odds since I was only choosing a 2 channel option but... well either way, Emory actually sent me an urgent email informing me that I had made a mistake that meant the saber couldn't be put together properly the way I wanted and gave me options to follow in order to fix my mistake. Thankfully I got it all sorted out and upgraded it to a proper 4 channel driver and now its back into the queue and on its way to the table to be built soon (I hope!)

I was really happy with this quick warning email. Instead of just cobbling something together that worked out of what I chose incorrectly...he put my order on hold to warn me that I screwed up and that my saber was not going to end up the way I wanted it based on the conflicting options I chose. This was truly professionally and kindly done. Thank you Emory and Ultrasabers, you've got a new customer for life!

On a side note. Has anyone recently ordered the guardian hilt with sound and emerald driver lately? From what I've read it seems that different hilts go out at different times. Perhaps they have more of some kinds on hand than others or maybe some are just harder to assemble and wire than others. I'd like to get some idea of fabrication time if anyone has recent experience. The lead time said 2-4 weeks so I'm prepared for that, especially considering the insane holiday rush that just swept through! I've seen some really fast ship times reported lately on here though so that makes me hopeful!

Thanks everyone, sorry for the long winded post but its my first here and I just had a few things to say! I look forward to talking with you all and helping to keep ourselves busy while we wait for our awesome sabers!

It's always good to hear about outstanding customer service. As for the build time, from my understanding while emailing their support staff, all orders are fabricated at time of order. The don't have boxes of pieces sitting around. When something is "out of stock" I ASSUME that means there are SOME parts that can be mass produced as they are easy and cost effective, but can run out. But again this is just speculation on my part from the 4 or so emails exchanged on the subject.

Luckily, I have a couple of those Black Series Lightsabers to keep me company.

Have you had any contact with US?  Is it due to an out-of-stock item?

If it is NOT due to an out-of-stock item, what you might want to consider is in another week, sending a NICE email to US noting that 5 weeks have passed and asking if they require any clarifications on the order and/or if all of your selections appear to be valid.  YOU may know that everything is valid, but this may soothe the nerves of whatever stressed person is going to open that email because it avoids sounding too much like you're angry or laying blame and more like you want to help solve the problem together in a friendly way.  And it usually makes people perceive friendliness if you admit a possibility (even if you know it's false!) that "I could have been wrong." ;)

I know, a Knight of Ren advising niceness.  But even we Dark Side types know that a little manipulation helps sometimes! :evil grin:

Still waiting on my order from the 31st with the Dominix LE v4 and Dark Initatie LE V4.. .Hopefully this is the week it ships xD.

It's interesting that I ordered a grab bag on the 30th which came to me last week, and it was a Dominix LE v4. Perhaps you ordered it after it went out of stock?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Samhain138 on January 18, 2016, 06:18:43 PM
I just ordered a Tri Cree guardian with the v4 soundboard.  Its my first non stunt saber so I'm excited to check this thing out.  I got it to go with my obi wan cosplay I'm working on.

So are they catching up on orders? I'm curious if it's really going to take close to a month.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: DarthScrub on January 18, 2016, 06:23:52 PM
It rarely does, if the saber was in stock when you ordered it. My saber came in roughly 10 business days, and that was the trend a couple of weeks ago. I haven't been keeping track though, since I got my first saber lol Expect a month, for your sanity, and be pleasantly surprised when/if it comes earlier than that

I ordered it when they said they were in stock :/ That's what I'm worried about.

I got 2 days shipping so once it ships it'll be fine, I'm just wanting it lol.

Post by: Nick8007 on January 18, 2016, 06:33:45 PM
I think the 2-4 week estimate has been a fair, and accurate one. Some people have had theirs ship immediately, others, such as myself, have had it take 2 weeks and are still waiting for a shipping notification. I will not email or question US or staff until the 4 weeks have passed, and only then just to make sure all is well. I have confidence in US and know they are working round the clock to get all the orders out. Even us sith must have patience ;)

About a month from now I should be getting the finishing touches on my costume so I can wait that long for the saber.  It's not like I've got anything planned to attend any time soon. 

I only have stunts so I'm eager to see how the sound is.  I've never heard one in person.  Now that I think about it, I haven't seen a nickel plated saber in person either.  I want to compare the Tri Cree to the normal setups too.

I chose the guardian over the archon v3 for my cosplay because I just don't think the think neck sabers look comfortable if I'm going to throw it in the air or something.  Plus I'm terrified to invest in the sound board and have the neck break on me. 

Generally speaking, if it can be broken, I'll find a way.  I managed to break the guarded switch on one of my sabers and man was I upset.  US fixed it up really quick with no hassle.

Post by: kain200 on January 18, 2016, 07:01:25 PM
Hey samhain,

Maybe its because you're throwing your sabers up in the air!

I don't think thats covered under the warranty, but I could be mistaken.

I have a guardian on the way as well and I can't wait to get it! I'm going to practice all kinds of spins and attacks with it but I certainly won't ever be throwing it!


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!

I ordered mine on Jan 14. I got mine with the RGBW emerald driver and obsidian V4 sound though so depending on what you ordered yours might be faster/easier to get set up. When did yours specifically ship?

I know it doesn't really mean mine will have a similar time but it at least feels nice to hope it will come quickly like yours did :P


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: TheDrow on January 18, 2016, 08:49:30 PM
I think the reason Grab Bags get shipped so much faster is because most of those are exhibit hilts. Being that when US goes to a Con, these are the sabers people demo and play with. They get nicked and scratched and can no longer be sold as new, so Grab Bag. Mind you this is all speculation, I don't actually know, but it makes sense in my head.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Nick8007 on January 18, 2016, 09:09:59 PM
Mere speculation, but I've worked retail my whole life, and more than likely, you are right Drow. Or if they have 7 hilts left of a particular style they no longer wish to sell and don't forsee them selling, they'll throw them in that pile. It's a way for US to recover potential losses from unsold hilts, hilts they may not have been machined up to US standards, etc... and at the same time, providing new customers a nice price point to get introduced to the hobby. They're a win-win from the companies POV

I'm so excited to get my guardian RGBW emerald obsidian V4 !!!

I ordered on Jan 14th and Emory emailed me on Jan 16th to tell me I had to change a mistake on my order. I did and then he emailed me back saying everything was fine and proceeding again. I wonder if him getting a look at my order that fast meant my order was up for fabrication at that point? I really really hope so because that means it will ship soon! Anyone have any idea if this might be the case?

The saber getting to the building table that fast seems too good to be true, but damn that would rule to have it done and ship out early this week.

This is my first saber obviously and I'm chomping at the bit and climbing the walls like a maniac waiting to get my hands on it!


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: TheDrow on January 19, 2016, 12:06:46 AM
I would say that until you get an email, assume the 3-4 weeks like the site says. It will help keep your sanity.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: kain200 on January 19, 2016, 12:11:01 AM
Oh I forgot to add, my order status still says 'processing" but the note at the bottom says "This order has already shipped or is in the final stages of processing and can not be edited"

Not sure if that means anything that it switched to that this fast but... just wanted to include it. I know it hasn't already shipped but, maybe "final" stages of processing is different than just regular "processing"

I'm clueless here since this is my first saber order. I'm just so excited and grasping at straws of hope!

Btw my order said 2-4 weeks not 3-4.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: DarthScrub on January 19, 2016, 12:13:42 AM
2-4 weeks is for orders that are in stock but need to be fabricated, the 3-4 weeks is for orders out of stock and will require more time


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: kain200 on January 19, 2016, 12:18:49 AM
Ok thanks. Mine was the guardian hilt and it did not say it was out of stock. It just seemed to me that if Emory was already looking at my order on Jan 16th...shouldn't that be a strong possibility that mine is up for its turn to be built? I have no idea how the process at US works so I could be completely off. Its just the hope of a desperate saber addict!


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: TheDrow on January 19, 2016, 12:22:41 AM
My order said the same as yours hours after I pUT it in and it took 1 week for it to ship. So that MAY give you an idea. They are still handling the large amount of orders but making a dent. I'd stand by the 2-4 weeks just so it doesn't nag at you. AND trust me, I know the itch. Mine should come in soon and it's my first as well.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Darth Justicar on January 19, 2016, 01:42:52 AM
Mine says "allow 3-4 weeks" but fortunately still does NOT say "out of stock" yet.  So hopefully after a couple days in I can feel okay that I have a reserved spot.  That said I haven't moved off of "Processing" yet, so we'll see.

I have that same thing when I ordered my saber on the 12th.  My best guess is that it's currently being made and will be out within the 2-4 week time-frame.

If it doesn't get delivered before my wife leaves for work...I won't have another oppertunity until tomorrow. And if the same thing happens tomorrow...Thursday. The only thing worse than waiting for it to ship is knowing that they will most likely try to deliver while we are both at work. This is what happens when your shipping service gets accidently down graded from the overnight you were charged for to 2-day.

Not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous that I ordered mine on 1/2 and it still hasn't shipped yet when people ordered theres almost 2 weeks later and it's already shipped...cross your fingers for me!

I feel you on that. Ordered mine on the 5th and it's been ready to ship for over a week. It's driving me insane

Well, I'll be! I placed an order for my second saber on Jan 14th at 9:42pm central time, and it's now marked as shipped, less than 5 days later. WHAT? THAT IS INSANE! Wow, a 5 day turn around. I can't wait until it arrives! Hopefully I can hold off from buying a third, so I have money for rent! LOL

1/2/2016...Dark Apprentice V4, scorpion pommel, obsidian lite, red illimunated AV. I just wrote a polite email simply acknowleding that I've seen a lot of orders go out after mine, and just wanting to make sure there wasn't an issue and everything was in stock.

Yeah, the first order I placed was on 12/30, and it was shipped on 1/11, and now the second order was placed 1/14 and shipped 1/19. I'm surprised this order was shipped so soon, unless all other orders that were placed before mine that haven't shipped are just out of stock

I placed my order on Jan 14th and I'm super excited for it to arrive. It'll be a little longer even after it ships as I'm in Scotland but I know the wait will be worth it! I ordered a stunt Dark Menace in TRI Blazing Red with silver underlay and windows in the emitter. I also ordered an empty Apprentice V4 with a Catalyst pommel for my first ever custom project and I'm crazy excited for it.

Hoping it will ship out soon but I understand the hectic workload US must have right now.

I decided to e-mail them on Jan 18th just to check if everything was alright, as we seen so many orders been placed after, shipped and even received before ours. Fingers crossed everything is fine.

I ordered 2 Apprentice light sabers on January 2nd, so also been 18 days and it's still in status "processing".   But with the Christmas holidays, and all the positive attention to the new Star Wars movie, I think one can understand the high volume of orders ultrasabers is probably going through right now.

I'd rather wait a bit longer than normal, and get 2 great sabers, then have them try to rush things and make mistakes.    So I keep on saying that to myself to be patient, but have to admit it's hard to wait.  I want the sabers now!! ;-)

If it's FedEx you're using, while snow in your area is inconvenient, what should also really concern you is the possibility of Memphis getting hit.  If you shipped Express, that means the big superhub you see on the news from time to time will be hit and that tends to screw almost everybody who has a package in transit by air that night.  From the forecast it doesn't look like they're at as much risk as other areas but that far south even minor snow or ice tends to be crippling because of how few resources exist to clean it up.

Please note that if there is a weather delay caused by storms either in your area or in Memphis, FedEx will NOT honor their commitment times.  We want our sabers but I also do not want a courier or a pilot in an accident.

If it happens, looks like Memphis related delays will begin late Thursday night.  If it starts at the wrong time, it may seriously affect inbound/outbound flights that night if not shut down the airport.  If the storm hits, it may continue into Friday and as such I'd say plan for the worst and expect at least 2 business days delay on in-transit Express shipments.  I'm not sure how the Ground network works since it's not as centralized but you could be facing delays if your saber has to cross an area affected by the storm.

keep in mind guys that the crew at US is buried in backstock. just in lite soundboards there are thousands waiting.

Emory and crew have plans to expand and bring us more...but they have a lot to catch up. just bear with them, replies to e-mail be a little slower.

 it wouldn't suprise me if some of these hilts are still warm from machining when they're assembled and pushed out the door.

this is true and no surprise,  but neither is us being anxious to get our stuff.  I think this thread is perfect to vent frustration, anxiety, and generally just air out our impatient "hurry up" whine

and I absolutely think that anyone at US should just ignore our ramblings here as long as it is with in the rules and not take us too seriously. because when the sabe finally does arrive, it wont matter how long it took. because we will be too happy salivating over our new shiny to care or remember. Unless something crazy happens like a shipping error or careless handling or even just breaking it 30 minutes out of the box. That changes things, but realistically  I cant expect 100% perfection and nobody else should.. we should just role with the tide.

Thanks for the info, but what do you mean thousands are waiting for lite soundboards?? It wasn't stated anywhere when I made my purchase. (December 31st)

I'm a very patient person in real life, that's not the problem. My problem is seeing the status "ready to ship" for 3 weeks. I think they really should add various states to the "processing", as some pointed out that the "ready to ship" status means that they are actually building the saber, and it's not ready to ship at all.

This status should be something like "being constructed/assembled" and only when the saber is ready to ship, should it be updated to "ready to ship". Let's face it, the meaning of these words are crystal clear, and should not be used otherwise. Something that is ready to be shipped shouldn't take more than 2-3 days before being sent out. (I've been working in the "shipping/receiving" (warehouseman) for the past 9 years, and customer service is of the utmost importance. How the information gets to the customer is crucial.)

Thanks all for the replies and concerns. Great community we got here.  :)

Post by: Nick8007 on January 20, 2016, 11:37:04 PM
My issue isn't with the "ready to ship" notification, while it's not accurate it doesn't necessarily bother me. Nor does waiting for my saber, if I was told 3-4 months I still would've placed the order, and waited patiently. What DOES at the very least frustrate me a little, just a little is when there are customers who placed 2 or 3 orders after mine by weeks, and either have all 3 shipped or have them in hand already. My saber is still within my given fabrication time, and I'm not ignorant AT ALL to the amount of orders US has. I completely tip my hat to them for getting these things out and working dilligently. Still, all things considered, I can't help but be a LITTLE frustrated when I see dozens of orders placed 1-2 weeks after mine, already shipped and in hand. I think it's pretty reasonable for anyone to get ancy when they see that

Post by: kain200 on January 20, 2016, 11:37:59 PM
Hah it seems like a common thing to hear:

"I need another one!"

Or you could be in my position...

I ordered a saber from the other company. 3 month wait ahead! I saw the option to do a pre order for their new modular type system that "supposedly" will have the shipped parts out in February. Well that was sooner than three months so I bought a second saber through that!

Well even February is too long a wait for me (and I'm betting those orders will NOT be shipped out by Feb anyway) so here I am ordering a THIRD saber from Ultrasabers...the company that actually cares about delivering a paid for product to their customers within a reasonable and non-gut wrenching time frame.

I've bought three sabers in like 3 weeks and haven't even held a saber like this before let alone owned one. I should have ordered from US first, I know. I might have had my guardian by now if I had.

Oh well. I ordered my guardian RGBW emerald V4 obsidian on Jan 14th. Hopefully it ships soon!

Either way, I can tell this is only the beginning of a great and wonderful new hobby.

My issue isn't with the "ready to ship" notification, while it's not accurate it doesn't necessarily bother me. Nor does waiting for my saber, if I was told 3-4 months I still would've placed the order, and waited patiently. What DOES at the very least frustrate me a little, just a little is when there are customers who placed 2 or 3 orders after mine by weeks, and either have all 3 shipped or have them in hand already. My saber is still within my given fabrication time, and I'm not ignorant AT ALL to the amount of orders US has. I completely tip my hat to them for getting these things out and working dilligently. Still, all things considered, I can't help but be a LITTLE frustrated when I see dozens of orders placed 1-2 weeks after mine, already shipped and in hand. I think it's pretty reasonable for anyone to get ancy when they see that

Hats off to you sir, I felt the eye twitch from here (below quoted text)

Hah it seems like a common thing to hear:

"I need another one!"

Or you could be in my position...

I ordered a saber from the other company. 3 month wait ahead! I saw the option to do a pre order for their new modular type system that "supposedly" will have the shipped parts out in February. Well that was sooner than three months so I bought a second saber through that!

Well even February is too long a wait for me (and I'm betting those orders will NOT be shipped out by Feb anyway) so here I am ordering a THIRD saber from Ultrasabers...the company that actually cares about delivering a paid for product to their customers within a reasonable and non-gut wrenching time frame.

I've bought three sabers in like 3 weeks and haven't even held a saber like this before let alone owned one. I should have ordered from US first, I know. I might have had my guardian by now if I had.

Oh well. I ordered my guardian RGBW emerald V4 obsidian on Jan 14th. Hopefully it ships soon!

Either way, I can tell this is only the beginning of a great and wonderful new hobby.

Perhaps I'm ignorant, but it's probably not wise to talk about dealings with the other guys, good or bad, on the forums. But that's already quite the collection you have growing in a short amount of time. Very nice!

the other company was not mentioned by name but i know what he is talking about. as far as I have seen mentioning other products isn't directly against the rules as long as specifics are left out. however, we should tread lightly when mentioning non US things.

keep in mind what options you ordered, hilt, etc. a grab bag random color can be thrown out the door quick. the lite sound boards are in high demand.
 add the hilts are being machined non stop the stunt will go 1st while waiting on the sound the hilt can run out of stock again....frustrating as it may be, imagine the guys who pride themselves for quality, delivery and service. I'm sure they want to pull their hair out at times.....but I did predict there would be an explosion or orders thanks to the new movie...and others yet to come in the next few years....US will have to adjust and expand for the next surge next yr, then E8, etc.

Yes absolutely. I'm a manager in a business that does a thousand customers a day, and I reiterate to employees all the time: Customers are willing to wait if when it IS their turn, they receive excellent service and a great product. Sometimes during busy seasons waiting is inevitable, and I don't mind it one bit, because I know the product I'm getting is an excellent one. However, I emailed them because if people such as the user above ordered his guardian and had it ship in 3 days, and mine hasn't shipped in almost 20, it leads me to believe something is tying my order up. I can't deny however that my inner ancy kid is starting to leak out and I just want it at this point. Haha ;)

I agree with you, still, a little more detailed info on our orders wouldn't hurt at all.

Let's face it, in the 17 years I've been using the internet to make orders on private, small companies, I've never seen an order stay in "ready to ship" status for 3 weeks...

I too think that US are doing an amazing job with the crazy amount of orders they have currently, hats off!! But, that being said, personally I'm not frustrated at all, just a bit surprised but the somewhat unique and sometimes "weird" process. (Order made on December 31st, "processing", Order is either shipped or fully ready, can't make any changes, all that on Jan 2nd. Order status changed to "ready to ship" on Jan 2nd. "Processing".   :-\  )

I ordered: Dark Apprentice v4 with obsidian lite, red illuminated black AV switch, scorpion pommel, window emitter, 32" blade, installed covertech wheel, the allen key, a plug and a stand, in total. All of the above were instock at the time of the order on 1/2/2016...so 18 going on 19 days ago.

I support this... my saber came in on the 15th. I sent it back with a repair request. I'm disapointed but not disheartened. As I have said else where I am sure the US staff will take care of me. I just have to be patient. Which is already difficult because I am an aries. But I've had 30 years of learning to wait and spirit willing I'll have many more years to learn. and though I am waiting to recieve my saber back from the repair request to do any review on it, the fact that the team is busting ass for us is not lost to me. I would like to say that they seem to be doing a good job.

Post by: Spades on January 21, 2016, 02:45:02 AM
What was wrong with it?
missing covertech wheel.  And the battery housing needs to be replaced.  The speaker is mounted to the bottom of the battery housing and the sound board is mounted on one side and the emerald driver on the other. The speaker snapped off the housing. Everything worked good still. All the channels and fonts worked fine. And I even continued to use it for a day or so after.  I contacted support and they told me to send it in. Reluctantly I did, but only because I really was not happy with the way the batteries sat in the housing with only the metal contacts holding them in nor was I keen on ripping the wires out accedentally when trying to access the sound board or emerald driver.. all in all it's just an 18 dollar part but I had no interest in ordering a new assembly and trying to repair it myself... So I'll go a week or two with out it let ultrasbers handle it and show me that fantastic customer service I keep hearing about.

So far I have not been disapointed overall.

I am not going to link the video out of respect for US, but he is  spikecnx from Pagan Gamers and he looks like the comic book guy from the Simpsons.

Two of his videos in particular, are exactly what I will avoid at all costs in mine. No disrespect intended but i found it to be not too terribly informative, and more personal reviews on individuals and less about the product it self or the services offered by ultrasabers or the other company... (purposefully left out)

Yep, we saw the same thing.  I wasn't terribly impressed.  Seriously, he tried to charge dummy battery cells (or non-rechargeable AAA's, I forget).

I mean things happen, but that was user error.  Rants against companies for user error don't impress me.  Calm reviews, even with issues, and good customer service impress me.  I'm watching your case closely. :)

Thanks, That strangely feels better. But Don't Worry I'll be ok with whatever outcome. I have alot of things that break on me or get lost or whatever.

and then there are stories like this all over the internet.

I subscribed to his channel there and its not that I am hating on him or think him some horrible beast. Rather, to two specific videos about rival companies. is opinions are not invalid, they do not particularly pertain to what i need to know.

and honestly when i saw the second video titled Truth about...... I was willing to hear him out but then he goes on a smear campaign, twitter feeds and facebooks and just thing I do not care about at all and tells me nothing about the product. I facepalm'd so hard I can't even.....  I do not care who likes who or what happened when. All I knew coming here was that I was referred by someone I have met in real life. He also referred me to the other place which shall not be named but he couldn't tell me which was better when I asked, all he could tell me was that the other place was a little more expensive but came standard with features that are extra here and that Ultrasabers was a little easier on the wallet and quicker to move product.

Make sure you read the forum rules post and sign off on them and welcome :)

Did you specify red for your saber?  What blade did you get? I'd be surprised if it took that long for a grab bag.

Yeah I have to go through the rules... ^^" thank you :)

I ordered Adegan Silver with Color Discs so that I can try out different colors. "Sith" for me does not necessarily mean always a red saber (although I won't go for blue and green because they are traditionally Jedi - my favourite colors is purple). I also know that "true Red" will be much dimmer and harder to achieve with the Adegan & Filters, but I think for my first saber this will do. I ordered Ultragrade for more brightness and because I will use it mostly for show off and not so much for fights. If pleased, I will order more, like the Flamberge in Blazing Red and an Amethyst colored Midgrade Dark Shock (with Emerald). ;)

Due to the EXTREME volume of orders we have coming in we will not be able to accept special requests for different button colors on different blade colors.

Hm.

Same here for a Guardian hilt. Ordered on December 31st, been "ready to ship" status since Jan 2nd, BUT, I've contacted US, and they simply told me they have an overflow of orders and are doing everything they can to satisfy everybody.

Someone else on the forums told me that the "ready to ship" status doesn't mean that, and that it means they have all the parts to assemble it and it's almost ready to be shipped out. I know, those words don't mean "ready to ship" but that's the only status they have other than "processing".

Let's just be patient. (You can try and e-mail them to know specifically why yours haven't shipped out yet, but even though I asked them, they didn't tell me why, only that they have a big amount of orders and that they are doing everything they can.)

May the Force be with you.

Odin Lowe's situation worries me.

I also ordered a guardian.

Yet i've seen several people who ordered the guardian and have received it already. One guy ordered on jan 9th and it shipped on the 19th. He may have it by now I haven't seen an update. Another guy in Australia ordered one and got his as well. I think he ordered something around the end of December. Possibly Dec 28th? But i'm not completely sure. Anyway, he's in Australia and received the item just recently (today or yesterday I believe).

Well I ordered my guardian on Jan 14th and its still processing which is expected at this stage. I just hope It doesn't end up being over a month or more before I see it move through the queue.

For reference, I ordered the guardian fully loaded with 4 channel RGBW emerald driver and V4 Obsidian sound. The details may be what changes the ship times. Someone said that supposedly obsidian lite boards are in high demand and therefore taking longer? I don't know its just all conjecture at this point.

I think they just have so many orders to fulfill they are doing their best to get them out with the same US quality. I was hoping to get it before college started again on the 25th, but since thats not going to happen, I will be fine with waiting some more. For reference, I ordered mine on 1/3

 Yes, I'd rather wait a month for the usual, outstanding US quality then get it in 2 weeks being poorly assembled.

Yet i've seen several people who ordered the guardian and have received it already. One guy ordered on jan 9th and it shipped on the 19th. He may have it by now I haven't seen an update.

That's me, it's supposed to come tomorrow.  I don't get what's going on, either.  I figured mine would take a lot longer considering it's an Emerald/Obsidian v4.

I have noted that most of the backed up orders are either lte sound boards or popular hilts. I wish you all the best of luck with the waiting pains.  I cant wait to see pics of your new saber when it arrives.

Since you ordered the exact same set up as me, I'm hoping for a similar time frame. You ordered on the 9th, I ordered on the 14th. So...5 days difference on ship date i'm hoping for...but not expecting, obviously.

It would just be nice in a perfect world if my order followed the same awesome time frame as yours since we ordered the exact same set up.

Same here for a Guardian hilt. Ordered on December 31st, been "ready to ship" status since Jan 2nd, BUT, I've contacted US, and they simply told me they have an overflow of orders and are doing everything they can to satisfy everybody.

Someone else on the forums told me that the "ready to ship" status doesn't mean that, and that it means they have all the parts to assemble it and it's almost ready to be shipped out. I know, those words don't mean "ready to ship" but that's the only status they have other than "processing".

Let's just be patient. (You can try and e-mail them to know specifically why yours haven't shipped out yet, but even though I asked them, they didn't tell me why, only that they have a big amount of orders and that they are doing everything they can.)

May the Force be with you.

I wonder if the same is true for the Guardian as I'm unable to chose the option for "Standard Finish", only available option is the "Nickel Finish".  I hope by waiting that I will be able to at some point be able to get it in the "Standard Finish". They must be really busy though because I emailed US on Monday, patience is rewarded though.

I am waiting on 2 totally random (other than UEHG blade) grab bags as a birthday gift from my wife and parents. My wife finally broke down and gave me her account info for tracking the order because she got tired of me pestering about her if it had shipped yet.

I'm afraid the grab bags may awaken some of my MTG habits and get me longing for that random "booster pack" gamble excitement.

That's possibly the issue, as I've ordered a standard finish before it went "out of stock", and Sunnycoastsaber (the Australian) received his, but in nickel finish.

Edit: Do to the overflow of orders, for a while most customizations won't be possible, as noted on the main site. Let's just hope they'll inform me if it takes 2-3 weeks, or more because of this. I knew it might take more than the 3-4 weeks normally required, do to the high demand because of a certain movie that just came out.

My guardians scheduled to be here tomorrow and it's the nickel.  I ordered it on the 17th.  So maybe the nickel finish has something to do with it.  I didn't even know the non nickel was an option.

Got my guardian order in before the standard finish went out of stock, this makes day 21 for me. Also I got the obsidian lite soundboard and it sounds like that could also be holding up the order, in any case, i'm currently curled up in a ball in anticipation of it shipping

I also had no option to pick except "nickel" finish. Thats fine by me.

Damn you ordered on the 17th and its coming tomorrow....I ordered on the 14th and its still processing.

See? This kind of randomness is whats hard to deal with. Although the poor guy who ordered back at the end of December must really be feeling the pain when he sees your story.

I wonder if they ran out of the guardian hilt in "standard" finish and all the people who ordered that are having to wait now? That may be why they just removed the option altogether for now. Maybe they only have nickel plated bodies there at the shop right now.

Thanks fellas.

I've always been patient, that's really not a problem. But it's always intriguing not knowing exactly why particular orders take more time than others.

Although we can pretty much guess by this point, with all the info from various members.

I don't think it could be attributed to a single thing, and it's a combination of multiple factors that end up making customer orders overall process time, from placing the order to receiving the lightsaber, greatly varies from one another.

It's gonna be a small test of patience for me, and a big test of customer service + massive load of orders for them.

Thanks UltraSabers. And may the Force be with you all.

In an email I just recieved today on 1/21: "We are currently on hold on fabrication of orders with Obsidian Lite Sound until we receive the next shipment of Lite soundboards.  We expect to resume fabricating these orders in 6-8 business days". So it's the obsidian lite holding up orders, just so everyone knows :)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: ithekro on January 22, 2016, 04:28:04 AM
Good piece of information.

I figure mine will take a little bit because it is an Archon v3.1 and I ordered it the day the came in stock (Jan. 14th).  3 - 4 weeks fabrication time if I recall correctly.

Emerald driver (CG) and Obsidian v4.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Nick8007 on January 22, 2016, 04:31:32 AM
Maybe, maybe not! The premium sound may or may not be in stock. And, they aren't going to hold up order times just to do them in order- so if anyone ordered without sound, those will be shipping a lot sooner right now than obsidian lite. So that's what we know. So for me, 6-8 BUSINESS days, plus 4-5 shipping, brings me to mid February. 1/3- mid feb. Still pretty impressive given the amount of orders.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Samhain138 on January 22, 2016, 04:33:16 AM

I've never in my life been so swept up by a movie or it's merchandising before TFA...but after seeing it in the theater 4 times, I HAD to have a decent saber. My $20 walmart toy just wasn't getting the job done! lol
But I don't have a ton to spend...not with all the other star wars toys, stickers, books, watches, hats, shirts...on and on...that I've been collecting! So I decided on a saber with no sound.

Went with the Dark Apprentice V4 with a 32" Consular Green saber. I'm SO uber excited!! lol :D Just placed my order yesterday (1/20/16). It's going to be a VERY long wait! But I have a very strong feeling it'll be well worth it!

I just have 1 question...

IS IT HERE YET!?!

Yes, in true grab bag fashion: random blade color, random hilt, and I even went with a grab bag blade to top it off.

Last grab bag was a BR Dominix V3 LE - and I absolutely love it.


hopefully the stock issues resolve themselves soon; the wife wants an apprentice in SRD with Obsidian Lite, and I'm looking at an (R+B)Emerald Bellicose with v4 sound.

Not enough room to make every single hilt I suppose.  At least not in the number to equal the demand.

So they focus on the even more in demand sabers as best they can.

First a note to all who have FedEx Express packages in transit: according to FedEx.com, the Memphis hub was disrupted last night as predicted and affected packages will be delayed and NOT be guaranteed by their previously scheduled arrival dates.  I don't know whether the problems will continue tonight or if they'll be able to complete the sort and get things moving again because the weather shows that the snow is still falling.



To my complete shock, I got a ship message and tracking number four hours ago on the Flamberge in my signature, which was ordered in the wee hours of the morning 1/16.  I am a little nervous about that since I had my crossguard blades customized (reduced in size), but if this works out I'll be very happy.  Supposedly my package is to arrive here 1/26, though given the weather I won't hold FedEx too closely to that.

Depending where you live the shipping seems to be pretty speedy. Even though it sent I still can't track it so I'm not quite sure the time period. I seriously checked my email multiple times every day as soon as I ordered it. I'll probably just clip it to my belt after I get it and wear it all day everyday. I may or may not have squeeled a bit when I saw the shipped email.

My dad had back surgery two weeks ago, I had neck surgery in late December (still hurts yeah, no worries, it was minor).  Right now I'm being checked out for some sort of intestinal disease, and one of my dogs ran away a few days ago.  Someone ran my mailbox over, and I have to drive to the P.O. every day to get my mail, because the ground won't unfreeze until May, when I can therefore put it back in.  They also hit my fence and tore some sections out, which will be a backbreaker of a fix when it again, is warm. 

I just want some Guardian comfort. :)

Oh hell yes!!!! My guardian ships today!!!!

Like some other people here I just read, I got a notice at like 3 or 4 am overnight last night that my saber had a shipping label sent to Fedex and its expected to ship out today. It figures its right before the weekend and FedEx act like some lazy bums on weekends! So it won't move at all until monday likely and its expected to be delivered on Tuesday Jan 26th.

Btw I ordered a guardian fully loaded 4 chan RGBW emerald and V4 Obsidian sound with nickel finish on Jan 14th. I think I and some other people got lucky in that those certain features are available and slight variations such as standard finish, or Obsidian Lite are NOT available right now. It also seems that they ship out a big group of sabers in bunches, as the Kylo ren avatar guy above me seems to have a similar delivery date even though he ordered his saber a day or two after me I think.

I'm so damn excited i'm going to explode waiting for tuesday!!

Btw, I ordered it with an Ultraedge Heavy grade but I read that the warmer colors don't look as good in UE like orange especially. So I want to order a regular heavy grade dueling blade, the clear tube kind. Does anyone know abouts how long it takes to get one of those things shipped? Just the blade by itself?

Per their website, FedEx has a weather delay and I'm sure they would rather their aircraft fly safely. ;)  Weather reports show snow is still falling in Memphis, where their main hub is located.  Do not necessarily expect delivery as scheduled on the 26th.

Well my Guardian is here.  It's pretty.

The buttons are switched like others have mentioned, I got an X blade plug, as others have mentioned.  

No Allen key to remove the blade.  I might have one somewhere, I guess.

FedEx was nice enough to hit my blade hard enough to mess up some of the film in the middle.

Otherwise it's pretty super great.  Gonna charge the batteries then try out the Emerald.

No Allen key to remove the blade.  I might have one somewhere, I guess.

.

Did you order the Allen key as an option? Not included otherwise.

I hope this thing gets here before I have to go to work.  I don't want to sit at work all night wondering if it was delivered or not.  FedEx here can be a pain about delivering.

FYI I looked at my tracking info and from the way it was showing in the system it looks like it MAY have been put in to go to the FedEx Office as I hoped for.   The destination field looks right.

If you are doing this on your first saber, to be within UltraSabers' policy, it looks like the key is to pay with PayPal.  Just FYI to anyone else who wants to do a hold at location shipment.

Does that mean that people who ordered the Standard Finish prior to this will have to wait? Or does it mean that taking those orders into account, they are out of stock?

I e-mailed them yesterday specifically asking about this. When I get an official response, I'll let you guys know.

Patience young padawan!  ;)

Day 22.

Guardian hilt, standard finish, guardian blue, obsidian lite soundboard, very basic and classic.

Well, ordered a USB hub, because I don't live in the dark ages of USB 2.0.  I bet the Emerald/Obsidian boards are super neat, if you can connect them to anything.  Ever.  At all.

I think US doesn't owe us an explanation on the progress of orders unless there is reason to believe the furnishing portion takes longer than the time they indicated. But at the same time, giving these updates takes away valuable resources that could be tending to urgent issues such as customer complaints with their orders.

There, fixed.  ;)

But seriously, two words : customer service.

I totally understand that they are under pressure with the overflow of orders they are currently receiving. But it's part of the business. People need to understand that it may take longer than usual, but on the other hand, when a customer asks them something specific, it's very important for them to answer clearly, and honestly. Even the reply to customer e-mail can take more time, this is totally normal, but it's still has to be done correctly.

For this, I'm not worried one bit, as UltraSabers have been amazing so far dealing with the abundance of orders and e-mails. Keep it up fellas!

I ordered mine on the 27th December and it is still processing..I understand they are busy with the crazy Star Wars period but they need to account for that when people place orders. I have emailed asking for information as the 4 week lead time is up this Sunday but I haven't heard anything. If I don't at least hear back from them I am going to be demanding a full refund and I will be contacting my bank and citizens advice to claim back the money I have already spent. As I said these guys must work hard but if the lead time exceeds the stated when purchasing the order then as a consumer it is misleading... We shall see as I can't see it being shipped before Sunday. If this was something cheaper it might draw less of my attention although I would still chase it up but having spent over $300 I expect more...

Hi Moggarth,

Sorry to hear about your saber delay.

To help, if the item was in stock when you ordered, then typically your item was placed aside for you as you have claimed and paid for it.

Secondly, the obsidian lite boards are currently on a 6-8 business day backorder which means all obsidian lite orders are currently stalled. (mine included).

If your saber doesn't ship within the next 10-12 days, I'd send ultrasabers an email asking what's going on.

Cheers

Well...

I just got my 1st orders delivered, yesterday and I have gone and ordered another Emitter and Pommel. I love that the Manticore is able to accept MHS Emitters and Pommels.

Once I get this order, I will be able to put together various configurations. This should keep me busy enough so I don't buy another Hilt for at least a couple of months. Since I was able to use my rewards points, the purchase was a lot less painful to my wallet as well.

I will post pictures of the different configurations later this weekend.

As I mentioned, in an email to US customer service, they told me that the LITE soundboard is what they are currently out of stock on, which is why Obsidian V3, V4, and stunt sabers are going out first. They told me they expect to recieve more soundboards in 6-8 business days as of yesterday (so now 5-7) and then they'd be fabricating the LITE orders from where they left off. So, if you're a late December order, you should be in the first wave. I know the fabrication time is listed at 3-4 weeks, and obviously as a consumer it is your option if you want to wait longer than that or want a refund. But you really aren't too far off at this point...and I'm not defending them, certaintly not, but I believe they expected to be busy, but not THIS busy. These aren't $40 walmart sabers, these are art pieces, and the market of dropping $300+ on essentially a toy probably wasn't expected to reach into the 6,000+ order mark. It sucks, but they really are a good company who is just backlogged and doing the best they can to fulfill these orders. If you do wait, you certaintly won't be dissapointed with their product, I'll tell you that! Cheers! :)

@sunnycoastsabers @nick8007 if they would of contacted me at least to mention this then I would at least have some understanding but still then I don't think it would resolve the matter. It is disappointing to call for a refund at this point but as a saber or any other product  manufacturer (regular toy or art piece), whatever the product lead time dictates is what it should stick to. If for any reason the product fabrication is delayed (like a recent release of a movie) then that needs to be recognised when the consumer places the order. Contrary to what this post sounds like I am not angry or mad just more disappointed as I was very much looking forward to receiving the saver but at this point I will be recalling my money should they fail to ship my order before the lead time. It May be a a specialised item but the cost alone covers the service and manufacture and at this point I am sad to say I have been let down.

I should also state that I have no doubt these guys work very hard to try and get things moving as quickly as possible and try to deliver the best product they can and any other time of the year they would (and notably have been) have followed through. I am just disappointed with the poor consideration to the product demand after the premier and the lack of communication with the chstomer.

truth is, that waiting is a part of life. if you leave now then you forfeit your place in line and sure you get your money back but you still wont have a saber and your timer resets to 0. I am committed. if I go back then I have wasted time.

I understand you're frustrated, but 3-4 weeks means 3-4 weeks and getting it shipped earlier would be a bonus...

I agree, points

*edit*

I just received shipping notification on my saber sent in for repairs. I am waiting for fedex to update the tracking in their system, but I am impressed, That was fast, unbelievably fast.  It just got there and its apparently ready to return to me.

It took 10 days (instead of 14 to 28 as predicted) to get the grab bag saber shipped, that was really fast! I just wonder if they will send me the X plug instead of the Standard (or the Circle, as I wrote them today, but maybe it was already too late).

Also, I'm curious about my first "real deal" order of a saber, with soundboard & emerald and stuff... maybe they just tend to have longer for the "more complicated" ones ^^ my first choice of a hilt is out of stock, so I just have to wait anyway

Question: which coupler should I buy if I want to couple a Dark Shock and a Dark Prophecy, both with sound?

I cant help you with specifics. since they have sound you want the vented. I would pick one i like and figure it out from there.

I think they are both MHS sabers...  thats important..  that both your sabers are MHS pommels

Holy crap samhain you can really spin that thing! And the blade toss/catch was freakin sweet!

I gave you a dark side point for awesomeness!

I need to learn to do that when my guardian gets here. Not the throwing...not brave enough to risk that, but the spinning.

I started watching those videos on the Terra Prime youtube channel on the basic spin moves. I'm using a toy saber I have but i'm having trouble so far. I don't think I fully understand "how" to spin a saber. I think I also have a serious problem of "limp wrist" which gives me trouble. For instance: I could never throw a baseball properly because my wrist won't say in a "locked" position in order to launch it properly. Basically you would say I throw "like a girl" if it weren't terribly rude to say things like that these days.

I hope I can figure it out because I just love how awesome it looks.

Thanks for the points, much appreciated.  Maybe I'll do a proper review and stuff with it.  I had a lot of people put down the guardian as not being good for spinning.  Seems alright to me.  I showed it's not really any bigger than my regular stunt saber.  The only thing I don't like would be the bottom part of the shroud catches my clothes and my palm sometimes.  That and the emitters not the easiest thing to hold it by if it slips a bit.

Does that mean that people who ordered the Standard Finish prior to this will have to wait? Or does it mean that taking those orders into account, they are out of stock?

I got a reply again. So far, great customer service!!

They could confirm that it was the Obsidian lite soundboard that was keeping my order from getting shipped.

That being said, they couldn't tell me if the standard finish Guardian hilt being out of stock would affect my order.

Maybe, and it's only a theory, but it could mean that even though I ordered before (ex:Dec 31) someone else,  if that other customer had ordered a standard finish guardian with, example, an emerald V4 soundboard and both pieces were available, they could have sent that order away, even if it had been ordered at a later date. ( ex: Jan 15)

There's about 6 to 7 days left before they get the lite soundboard back in stock, then I'll know if I have to wait another 6 to 8 weeks to get a standard finish guardian hilt machined. We'll see.

I just ordered my first UltraSaber, an Emerald/Obsidian v4 Chosen One CE in blazing red (of course).

I only ordered it a few days ago so of course I don't expect it to ship terribly soon but all of the talk on the forums about everything being out of stock have me a little uncertain about how long I should expect to wait.  It seems like there are stories of sabers quotes at 2-4 weeks fabrication time shipping within 3 days of ordering and then others waiting over a month for their saber to ship. 

Is there any rhyme or reason to this?  Any way to set my expectation?

I can't guarantee anything, obviously, but more high end models like that are slower to go out of stock and may be faster to ship!


All we really know for certain is that the Obsidian Lite soundboard orders are backed up.


Great choice of saber! ;)

all i can guarantee is the your order will ship eventually. Stick to the lead time on the site. 3-4 weeks. 6 to 8 days, whatever it is use that as a guide and go from there. I personally can not speak for US, but I am sure that my appreciation for your patients. and as a saber owner waiting on his to get back to him I can tell you that you are going to love you new ultrasaber when it arrives.

All I could tell you shadowtheULF is that you picked good things for your order to make it possibly "faster"

This is all just based on what has been the case lately and this could have changed overnight for all we know so take this with a grain of salt.

First off, one thing that is making people's orders take a long time (like a month) is that they chose the graflex hilt. Because of the movie, the graflex hit is extremely popular right now. I'm pretty sure that US actually ran out of stock on the graflex but still allowed people to order it...unlike any other saber that goes out of stock. So that is one thing causing a big hold up. They were due to get the graflex hilt back in stock around the third week in January, so now basically.

The second even more widespread cause of long waits of a month or so is people who have ordered the Obsidian LITE soundboard. I think since its cheaper and still has a great sound (just without the option of switching your sounds) it is a hugely popular choice for alot of people who don't want to spend the extra money. The last we heard, the LITE soundboards were out of stock and therefore all orders that selected it are on hold until they come in. At the time they said they expected the LITE boards to be back in stock in about 6-8 business days. I believe that was at least 3 business days ago give or take a day.

Because you didn't pick either of these, you likely won't see a bad delay in your shipment.

However, you did pick the chosen one. Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the chosen one hilt based on darth vader's ? If so then it could possibly have a "popularity" issue much like the graflex hilt. I'm purely guessing on this so someone else will have to chime in and talk about whether they've received a chosen one lately or if they've heard they are low on that hilt etc. I haven't heard anything pertaining to this i'm just purely guessing so this likely won't be an issue at all.

Bearing all that in mind...your order will probably ship in a similar time frame to the rest of our orders lately for those of us that didn't pick one of those options that had delays. Since you chose an emerald driver and V4 sound (just like me and many others) your order will probably ship in anywhere from as little as 6 business days to as much as 10-12 business days. They seem to ship a big load of sabers in bunches so theres no way to know for sure. My saber took 8 business days. A guy ordered the same thing as me the day AFTER I ordered and both of our sabers shipped out on the same day. So for him it took 7 business days. As I said, they seem to ship them out in bunches so theres some wiggle room.

Either way, I don't work for Ultrasabers so you can't take any of this info to the bank! This is just conjecture and educated guessing based on the postings of many of us over the past few weeks. The information about the graflex and the obsidian LITE soundboard are official however, as those bits of info came directly from customer service emails from the US staff.

Hope this helps. You should be fine and have a very minimal wait. I'm sure you'll be happy to see it ship out before you know it!

If everything you orders in stock, you may actually receive your order in no time at all. I just ordered a dark prophecy with obsidian v4, and I received it exactly 7 days later with 2 day shipping

Hey PKL

You may want to keep an eye on your email. I just noticed in another thread about the graflex hilts...people finally just began to get the first shipment notifications on the graflex today.

This only will apply if you got it with premium sound though, which I believe you said you did. Either way, they apparently got the graflex shipments and are slowly starting to fill them all out and get them shipped. I saw two people post that they just received their notifications overnight last night. It could still take awhile for you because who knows when you ordered it or how far back in the line you are...its obviously a hugely popular hilt! But hopefully they got a huge shipment of them so you'll get yours going soon.

Should be something you can feel good about and look forward to soon!

They shipped on the 19th, and I'm expecting them here (Netherlands) sometime this week!

Has anyone received their new Archon v3.1?  I don't imagine they have yet, but I wanted to check as I ordered mine (Emerald in CG with v4 sound) on the 14th, which I think is the day that version came out.

I did order some extra stuff, a recharge port and covertech wheel.

reward points are cool. your US account gets points for purchases. every 20 points is a dollar credit. once redeemed they are automatically applied toward your purchase. my dark initiate v4 emerald with obsidian v4 net me 390 reward points. (roughly 19 USD credit) i think there is a thread under the rules section that explains it better.

I'm waiting for my Graflex CE... So stoked.  I ordered it on Jan 1st, but like a bonehead, I ordered it with the Obsidian V3 soundcard instead of the V4.  Luckily, I got in touch with customer service to get them to change it.  I fear that it backlogged me more though.  It's all good.  I wanted that one specifically, because I grabbed a "Luke Bespin" jacket from a site I found on Facebook so I am going with the ESB theme.  :)

I posted a longer version of this statement in the Graflex thread.. so I apologize for being redundant.  I'm just excited (like everyone else waiting) and have been enjoying trolling through the forums, I just decided to finally start posting.  I'm excited to be a part of this awesome community!

Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Mars Halgon on January 26, 2016, 11:03:10 PM
So, I just emailed them using the customer service link at the bottom of the main shopping page ([email protected]).  I was curious that the email wasn't more specific, and was worried that my email would be lost in the void.  I emailed them first on the 11th.  I didn't get a response right away (which isn't surprising considering how crazy backlogged they are), so I emailed again on Wednesday the 13th.  I probably should've waited a couple more days, I just wanted to see if I could make modifications to my order ( I actually ordered two sabers) and realized that it might have been too late to make any changes.  Anyway, I got a response on Thursday the 14th and had pretty regular (daily at least) contact with the CSR Marlena, who answered all of my questions and helped me out tremendously, getting all of my upgrades added to my order.  It does take some patience, but I was willing to wait a little longer, since that would mean I wouldn't have to send the sabers back. 

The extra saber I ordered was for my 6 year old daughter, an initiate stunt saber.  She's been excited and telling people about it and was saying hers will have cool sounds, and when I told her hers wouldn't have sound, she looked really sad, so I had the obsidian lite added to that saber.  Which I know just delays it that much more ;)

I hope that helps.  Sorry to be so long-winded :)

It's the very day today when 10 years ago we finally and totally connected, SW took a huge part of it and still we just love this beautiful universe.
I bought her the first saber and today she made this already shiny day even more wonderful buying me a proper full jedi custome from JediRobe.co.uk!
Wearing it right now,  it's beyond imagination - such a sacred way to wait for our sabers to arrive :)

Thanks Mars.  Very helpful to have a sense of what to expect.  I'm in the same boat as you (trying to modify an order I already placed).  I'm used to pretty fast communication from online vendors, but I know US must be absolutely slammed right now.  Patience is not my strong suit, especially when it comes to new toys  :-[  It's only been a couple of days for me, so I'll just try to restrain myself from bugging them further for a response.

Thanks Mars.  Very helpful to have a sense of what to expect.  I'm in the same boat as you (trying to modify an order I already placed).  I'm used to pretty fast communication from online vendors, but I know US must be absolutely slammed right now.  Patience is not my strong suit, especially when it comes to new toys  :-[  It's only been a couple of days for me, so I'll just try to restrain myself from bugging them further for a response.  

Scoimpious -- I was worried that I was pushing a little bit too, but if it's been several days with no response, it might be worthwhile to send a response to your original email asking if its possible to do what you asked.  I tried to be really upbeat and courteous, and I think that goes a long way.   I told her that if no changes were possible, that would be cool, I just wanted to see.  Anyway, maybe wait a week or so before emailing again. 

I hope it all goes well for you!

AWW that is adorable. + points. I hope this hurries along just for your little one.  Marlena is a peach isn't she? She was the representative I corresponded with, nice, helpful, and informative.

Thanks!  Yeah, Marlena was awesome.  And her responses were sometimes in the middle of the night.  I don't know, but I'd have a hard time being as courteous as she was at those times :)

I've been perfectly polite in my emails, and I asked whether they could make the change rather than demanding it.  I don't think it is out of line in general to expect a timely (same or next day) response from an online vendor, but that said, I understand they are slammed.  Frankly, since I think I will be happy either way, I would probably elect to get the saber sooner if the changed was going to cause a significant delay.  +1 point for the helpful information!

Definitely impatiently waiting on a grab bag I ordered in the wee hours of Jan. 16 (approx 1am; I was deciding whether or not to get a second one). So it'll be 2 weeks coming up this Saturday, give or take a day because of MLK day. I get they're stupid-busy but I was hoping that a simple grab bag would be out the door with whatever was available to them at the time. Oh well, patience makes a jedi...

Extra downside of this is I sent my first saber back on Jan 6 to have Obsidian Lite installed (sorry everyone waiting for the Lite board to come back  ;D) but had it accidentally return shipped to my parents house instead of my address at college. But I'll be going back this weekend to retrieve it!

Fingers super-crossed for a Prophecy in Guardian or Artic blue!

Last week (late at night on Jan. 19th) I ordered my first saber, a Dark Apprentice v4 in guardian blue.  Hopefully it isn't too much longer before it ships, I'm so excited!

And now either tonight or tomorrow morning I'm going to order my staff, a Phantom Initiate V2 in blazing red!

Both are stunt sabers. But speaking of which does anyone know how long a stunt saber would take to ship?  Just asking out of sheer curiosity, I don't mean to sound impatient at all, I'm just very very excited! ;D

Hey scoimpus, if you ordered a guardian with emerald driver and V4 obsidian you should be good to go on getting it quickly. I ordered that same setup and it shipped in 8 business days. Another guy ordered the day after me and it shipped for him in 7 business days. They ship orders in bunches so its kinda random but you could see it ship in as little as 5 business days up to maybe 10 or so dependin on when they decide to ship out the "bunch" of orders.

Ordering the Obsidian LITE soundboard is what is causing the delays for everyone. They are on backorder but supposedly should be back in stock in just a few more business days they said.

Btw I didn't get to officially announce it but...

My Guardian 4 channel RGBW emerald/V4 Obsidian, Blue illuminated silver AV switch, nickel plating saber of awesomeness arrived today!!!

And there was much rejoicing!

Dude that's what it seems like I ordered on the 24th and understand that the graflex was back ordered I acknowledged that. But I think it's bull shell that when the obsidian lite sound card went out I have to wait for that but whatever you know I would think that they would take those parts and set them aside but.. No and now an additional month because they ran out of the standard aaa battery packs wow that's some dumb shell sorry if I sound pissed but it's because I am.

Same I was was fine waiting a month for the card and hilt due to backorders,  but this is kinda...stupid? I don't want to sound mean, but if I spent 400+ on a saber, I kinda would have expected better expectations for a increase of orders during the movie and holiday times? xD

Idk, I just see people getting sabers within days of ordering and I can't help to get jealous. It's worse when it's the same hilt.

Right, and I mean if there's going to be a restocking fee for trying to get a refund shouldn't that mean for them to take parts from thier stock and set it aside for the order who ordered first?

Excuse me for being noob at this, but what are the battery packs for?

For the 4 AAA batteries.
If you got a saber with Li-On batteries it is a 2 pack that is different from the standard setup.

Lithium Ion batteries I would be idea for higher price sabers (Emerald drives)
It is recommended for Obsidian v3 and Obsidian v4, while of course the Obsidian LITE can use the standard AAA batteries.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!

1 of : Dark Initiate LE v4 with Obsidian Lite Sound [Blade LED Color:Consular Green][Flash on Clash:No Flash][Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration:Standard Setup][Blade Option:Ultraedge][Blade Size:X-Long 36" Blade][Windows:Yes Include Windows in Emitter][Obsidian Lite Sound:Obsidian Lite Soundboard][Pommel:Regular Vented Pommel (hole in bottom) [Recommended]][Switch Type (Momentary):Black Non-Illuminated AV Switch][Blade Tip:Round Tip][Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!][Include Blade Plug:No Thanks][Include Saber Stand:No Thanks][Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks][Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks]


So I have the standard set up that is out of stock I am guessing?

Edit: I never received the email saying it would affect my order and what not when the 11th came by? Does that mean my order is going to have the batteries and just waiting on the lite board?

Hello all, I'm brand new to the forums but have been monitoring the posts for about two months. I recently purchased a Guardian with sound and was very impressed! It is basically a work of art. Tonight I placed an order for a Phantom V3 staff in Blazing Red and Violet Amethyst. (Yup, Revan all the way) Thankfully the Aeon V3s are one of the few standard sabers in stock. I'm curious how long it will take to get an in stock item during this crazy Ultrasaber draught. Thankfully I have the patience of a Jedi. Haha I'll try to keep you guys posted about how long the process of receiving the saber staff takes. Right now it sounds like all orders will take usually long for US.

I could not find this announcement anywhere either.
I ordered my first saber (with standard battery setup) on 21 January and had a few e-mails exchanged about the setup with a customer service member who helped me in a few things.
I assume he would have told me not to order standard battery setup as they had been out of stock by then...
Order shows "processing", I'm not sure if that gives any more information regarding the battery pack issue, will keep an eye on it and see what happens and when.

What I can see is that the website has been updated and the aknowledgement part now mentions the "out of stock" aspect with added restocking time estimation. That was not there on 21 January so the web - even if slowly - follows up the situation.

I saw that too!  I was curious, with the huge demand for sabers what other vendors were going through :  a bunch of every type of saber, from the Walmart sabers, to the Force FX ones, and practically every other lightsaber out there is selling out like hotcakes (The ones on thinkgeek are all out of stock, for example).  I heard on one of these threads that the other guys wait times were like months, so I started looking at other forums and there's one company out there that's months behind, that had a bunch (like thousands) of products lost or stolen, records of transactions lost, all kinds of bad stuff... and the moderators keep saying not to post that stuff... uh, that's really important information, and part of what led me to go to Ultra instead -- the other guys just seemed less professional/less reliable.  I can't say I ever read about Ultrasabers having those kinds of problems.

I was wondering about the battery situation myself.  Apart from the thing on the shipping policy page I never saw any indication that the AAA battery packs were out of stock.  I went back and flipped through the options on the page for the Dark Apprentice that I ordered and when I looked at the battery page I saw nothing.  My Phantom Initiate staff didn't even have an option for batteries...

I'm wondering if I might e-mail somebody to ask about this, but seeing as I can't afford paying an additional $35 (I was pushing my budget as it is lol) I think I may just have to wait this one out.  I was hoping to have them by mid-late march because my girlfriend is coming to visit and she wanted to see them, but it's not the end of the world.

On the bright side, at least by the time these sabers are in my hands it'll probably be spring/summer, which will probably be beneficial since I'll probably have to use my staff outside only cos otherwise I will end up smashing things by accident.  and I don't think mom would appreciate me going down the Kylo Ren route if you catch my drift...

Letting the order process now with a wait or waiting until summer to order again is still waiting.

Logically the order in processing now should arrive before you would order again in Summer.  15 weeks is April or May presently.

Yep. I just hope they arrive before my fantasy convention at the first weekend in May, so that I can make my cosplay - but if not, I just take my grab bag stunt saber for this :)
So if one just want to have _any_ saber, try ordering grab bag. For the show-off and some duelling it will be enough.

I agree.  And as many others have observerd, Lightsabers in general are selling like hot cakes.  Looks like some of the Force FX ones are getting price gauged by the few online retailers that still carry them..  ThinkGeek sold out.   And from looking at other vendors that offer products similar to Ultrasabers (combat lightsabers), those wait times are way longer.  I saw on one thread on someone else's site, that they had been waiting 8 weeks without any movement, and there was a statement about a loss/theft/lost transaction record of somewhere like a thousand sabers.   From what I can tell, Ultrasabers is totally the one to have, the one to wait for, and the one to be so stoked about that you would stay with them for future saber-ing needs.  Of course, there are always other options, I suppose... I saw one custom saber guy who makes sabers just himself that you can submit your own designs too, but he won't even talk to you unless you submit $1500 up front.  Yikes.  And I'd imagine he's also overworked too.  Bottom line:  TFA has driven lightsaber demand through the roof.  So, no matter what, you're going to have to wait for it.  So, if you want any kind of dueling quality saber, whether it be an Ultrasaber, other vendors, or a crazy multi-thousand dollar custom job, looks like you're going to be waiting...

I know all about passion and impatience, but isn't that a little bit overreacting?

I understand it's a handmade item but what drove me to make the cancellation is the extremely late posting of the battery packs and the extra wait time.  If my order (or others) is going to be late, we (I'm speaking for those who found out about this) would at least have an email sent to us about extra wait time due to a missing part.  I know it will not fit in V2 initiates and I'm alright with the restocking fee.  If I can speak for some people who are in my shoes,  I felt like my order (along with others) are being placed on the back-burner and not acknowledged.  I've seen some post on FB with sabers for sale and I came across some cash so I can get those instead of waiting 3+ months for a saber/saberstaff that I may have difficulty with.

I ordered on 7/1/16. I ordered Standard Issue Battle Saber v3 with Obsidian Lite[Blade LED Color:Consular Green][Flash on Clash:No Flash][Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration:Standard Setup][Blade Length:36" Standard Size][Blade Option:Mid Grade][Obsidian Lite Sound:Obsidian Lite Soundboard][Pommel:Regular Vented Pommel (hole in bottom) [Recommended]][Switch Type (Momentary):Silver Non-Illuminated AV Switch][Blade Tip:Round Tip][Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!][Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Standard Plug][Include Saber Stand:No Thanks][Include Covertec Clip:Yes!][Install Covertec Wheel:Yes ($10 install + $4 covertec)]
But when I found out the obsidian lite was out of stock I emailed about upgrading to the V4 sound as I had been looking on here and realised all the benefits of premium sound for not much more money.
Corey has been very helpful with changing my order.

I ordered my obsidian lite with standard battery setup on 1/3...this posting was of 1/11 appparently for the battery pack. In my email, they only mentioned that the LITE was holding this order up, no mention of the battery pack. You think it's still 4 weeks for me? Also, how much did they charge for the v4 upgrade? I'm considering this...growing impatient

It may but honestly at this point, I don't care.  The anxious wait killed my grades in one of my classes for a different order so I might as well cut my losses and get something that I am guaranteed at this point through ebay, etsy or someone selling on facebook.

I've e-mailed them about a 10 days ago, and at that time Brandon was the one who helped me. Answer time in my case was 1-2 days, max. We exchanged a few e-mails, as I had a few questions and changes for my blade type.

I'm at 28 days. Ordered a Guardian with lite soundboard, standard finish, on December 31st. (Still waiting for the Lite soundboard, which is only 2-4 days away.)

this is important for me to say that if you recieved your shipping notification,  and the tracking number doesn't quite work here is what I believe the process looks like for shipping having done it twice now.

When your saber is ready, US makes a label via shipping preference.  (in my case fedex)
monday some time it will be picked up and then your actual delivery date is adjusted.  (in my case it was just 3 days from pickup, Fedex ground option)

dont quote me but I think US has scheduled pickup. so if you get your shipping notice (unless it says "tendered to fedex for delivery") then it is sitting in limbo just waiting. the delivery date is wrong until fedex gets the package.

if you choose usps, IDK because i have used fedex twice.
but I would assume something similar.

I dont want to piss in your cheerios, just let you know that it may not e in fedex's possession until monday which may change your delivery date depending on where it is going

Scoimpious, I ordered 7th January. In the UK we write it d/m/y.
Nick8007, I was charged an extra $50 which I think is the difference between V4 and lite sound.
Spades, I got an email from FedEx with a tracking no. on it. When I click it, it takes me to their website and it days in transit and is currently in Memphis.

my statement stands, its just pointless for you.  because you are in the middle of shipping.  I was talking more for anyone who gets the notice may have an in accurate time for delivery simple because it is estimating that at the time of label creation. once us turns over the package is actually when your shipping date is figured and usually on point.

also, i am waiting for fedex today as well.  my saber came back from the shop. i have a freshly charged set of batteries, and I am ready to nerd out in my jedi bathrobe with my ultrasaber that I think I am going to name Claire... I like sara but i have recently obtained a friend named sara and I do not really want to have my girlfriend ask me if I named my saber after that girl specifically. (which in my mind consciously, it was not the case. im just playing minesweeper)

That's how I feel about it -- you're going to be waiting one way or another as saber sales are going through the roof.  Just wait it out, and either try to forget (not going to happen for me ;)  )  or keep posting, like I've been doing.  Doesn't really keep my mind off it, but seems to help a bit, knowing there's a nice community of like-minded people here...

Post by: Darth Justicar on January 28, 2016, 06:54:13 PM
I think that what we are seeing is a small business suddenly being catapulted to a size at least an order of magnitude above what it was before.  You can bet that infrastructure, supplier/sourcing relations, internal policies and procedures, and staffing are nowhere near where they need to be and without any prior experience in this area, attempts to correct for it and late/inadequate responses to some of the unforeseen contingencies are only making it spiral further out of hand.  

That is NOT a criticism; that is simply a fact about how this kind of explosion hits a small business...any small business.  About the only thing they could possibly have done IMO would have been to hire a consultant about a year out to help them with their contingency planning but even that is not a guarantee since we are dealing with a niche market where other precedents for benchmarking might be not be that easy to find.  Also in a typical small business the owners are operational guys who are in the weeds with stuff (I do NOT know enough about US to know if that applies) and that kind of large-scale strategic forward thinking is a new experience that often ends up being forged in a fire, like this one.  It can be learned but unfortunately there can be some serious missteps along the way.

That is why I personally decided to be patient even though my own order had a hiccup.

I don't get it, why didn't you just ask them to ship your saber without the AAA batteries, they are extremely common and everyone has some. I mean, not too long ago everything was "Batteries not included" or "Batteries sold separately."

Does anyone else have this "issue" with normal AAA batteries preventing their lightsaber being shipped? Anyone asked them to ship without batteries? Anyone got an e-mail saying their order was gonna be delayed do to this?

I've been following the forums since December last year, but just got to see this post...

I'm feeling pretty conflicted  :-\ I placed an order for my first saber (Dark Prophecy v3 + Obsidian Lite) last week before the back order notices.

On one hand I want to send an e-mail asking to change my order to one of the premium sound boards & batteries to try to get around the Lite/AAA back order situation but on the other hand the Dark Prophecy v3 is now showing to be on back order (though it wasn't showing to be when my order was placed) so I'm nervous that the hilt will hold up the order either way.

Has anybody had luck in the past week or so getting around the backorders by changing your order? I don't want to pester the already overwhelmed US staff just yet.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: marina_bonomi on January 28, 2016, 08:09:32 PM
From what I read on other threads, some people got in touch with Costumer Service and upgraded,  and their order shipped shortly after.

If the Dark Prophecy v3 was in stock when you ordered you should be set on the hilt's account.

In reply to my inquiry about my order and the modified backorder time I was given additional info about the source of the delays.

1) They are out of AAA Battery packs for the stunt sabers and Obsidian Lite Sabers. It will be an additional 4 weeks while the situation is addressed.
2) Upgrading soundboard seems to be an option as it was presented to me, which IMO the extra $40 to get Premium Sound (+$10 for V4) and in turn, get the my blade much sooner seems like the lesser of the two evils.

I knew when I ordered that the sabers were on backorder and would be 1-15 weeks before they were in stock.  I was hoping it would be closer to one than 15.

THIS! Also you people who are being slammed with the 20% restock fee when you're cancelling because the time has now pushed out of US projected window: http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0221-billed-merchandise-you-never-received

"If the seller is unable to ship within the promised time, it must notify you, give a revised shipping date and give you the chance to cancel for a full refund or accept the new shipping date."-FTC

Not trying to cause issues, just want to inform people who are about to be slammed with the 20% restock fee on an un-built saber. Because that's not how you do business.

That being said I also ordered a LITE board and if/when my order slips outside the US lead time that was originally stated when I placed my order I will cancel and I will get my full refund back.

I understand that US is getting slammed and that's great for them! Perhaps they need to change the way they charge people cards. Instead of a instant full charge on checkout they need to just verify the card on checkout then when the item ships they then charge the full amount of the order. That will help greatly with the growing pains they are facing and would avoid this current backorder blues on the forums. :-\

I was very happy when I found US and ordered my sons saber. I started lurking on the forums and reading up on news and reviews. Then I read about the LITE board backorders (which I never got an E-mail of) so I lowered my expectations on when the saber will arrive. Then I read about the boards coming back in stock late this week to next week so I started planning how I would present the saber to my son.

The next day the bomb dropped, I heard about the additional four week backorder of the 4AAA battery holders. US should have notified everyone affected via E-mail and forum presence. Lack of communication leads down a dark path.

So naturally people got upset and started the refund process due to the wait time now being twice as long. So it puts people in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation with the 20% fee. So use the info above and contact your bank or credit card service and get a full refund.

Sorry for the wall of text, this is my first post and had a lot to get off my chest  ;D Again I think US is a good company but they need to hire/provide additional customer service on the forums, because communication is the key to success.

TL;DR Ultra Sabers is a good company working 24/7 thats experiencing growing pains. Fight for your full refund amount. Good luck and may the force be with you.

Plissken out.

My order is just a dark apprentice v4 with no sound. They're probably working on getting their higher end/more expensive orders out before worrying about cheap sabers like mine...which makes sense to me.

Still...I hit my refresh button on my order details page at least a billion times a day! :P lol

I think that the cheap ones will not go slower (although there was an issues with battery packs... don't know about that, but the issue was there even before I ordered and I still got mine with a battery pack, so no idea about that)

THIS! Also you people who are being slammed with the 20% restock fee when you're cancelling because the time has now pushed out of US projected window: [url]http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0221-billed-merchandise-you-never-received[/url]

"If the seller is unable to ship within the promised time, it must notify you, give a revised shipping date and give you the chance to cancel for a full refund or accept the new shipping date."-FTC

Not trying to cause issues, just want to inform people who are about to be slammed with the 20% restock fee on an un-built saber. Because that's not how you do business.

That being said I also ordered a LITE board and if/when my order slips outside the US lead time that was originally stated when I placed my order I will cancel and I will get my full refund back.

I understand that US is getting slammed and that's great for them! Perhaps they need to change the way they charge people cards. Instead of a instant full charge on checkout they need to just verify the card on checkout then when the item ships they then charge the full amount of the order. That will help greatly with the growing pains they are facing and would avoid this current backorder blues on the forums. :-\

I was very happy when I found US and ordered my sons saber. I started lurking on the forums and reading up on news and reviews. Then I read about the LITE board backorders (which I never got an E-mail of) so I lowered my expectations on when the saber will arrive. Then I read about the boards coming back in stock late this week to next week so I started planning how I would present the saber to my son.

The next day the bomb dropped, I heard about the additional four week backorder of the 4AAA battery holders. US should have notified everyone affected via E-mail and forum presence. Lack of communication leads down a dark path.

So naturally people got upset and started the refund process due to the wait time now being twice as long. So it puts people in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation with the 20% fee. So use the info above and contact your bank or credit card service and get a full refund.

Sorry for the wall of text, this is my first post and had a lot to get off my chest  ;D Again I think US is a good company but they need to hire/provide additional customer service on the forums, because communication is the key to success.

TL;DR Ultra Sabers is a good company working 24/7 thats experiencing growing pains. Fight for your full refund amount. Good luck and may the force be with you.

Plissken out.


Now this I can definetely use because I calculated the amount of the full order and I would be giving them $30 just to cancel it.  I understand that this is a business and things can fall through but I don't think that this "restocking fee," for an item that I never got, is good business.  Give the customer like a warning that they will refund this for free because of the situation but for the second time or more, there should be one.

I would suggest a number of areas for improvement that, in my view, would go a long way towards better customer relations and communication.  

First, the order tracking on the US website is a bit frustrating because it appears to offer account holders the ability to review orders, change quantities, or cancel orders.  But the reality is that you can't change anything.  I have placed two orders within the last week, one for a saber and one for an extra blade and some parts.  In both instances, the order became unchangeable and non-cancellable the instant I placed it.  Clicking the "View or Change Order" button gets you to a page with the statement:  "This order has already shipped or has reached the final stages of processing. Therefore this order is no longer editable."  Obviously this is not true since I checked this just moments after I placed both orders.  For me, this is frustrating because the website seems disingenuous and deceptive.   Further, allowing people to cancel pending (but unbuilt) orders directly and without penalty is appropriate under the current circumstances.  I have no intention of cancelling my orders, but the functionality should be there.  

Second, most of what I just said would be pretty much okay if US was responding to email communications in a timely way.  But they are not.  I understand that they are slammed and that they are getting a lot of email, but when I email them with my order number and the words "please respond" in the subject line of the email, I think US should make providing a timely response a priority.  

Third, given their current situation, I think US should be communicating better on this forum.  If they know that they are taking weeks to respond to emails from people who have placed orders with them and already paid hundreds of dollars, they need to address this and communicate about it on the forum.  I know they are slammed, but forum announcements by the US administrators are a highly time-efficient way of keeping their customers informed and preventing them from feeling ignored or neglected.  Some have received auto-replies explaining the delay, but I am not one of them.  For me it has been pure silence. 

Stepping off my soap box now..... :)

My second post (first being the acknowledgment of forum rules) was on page 295 haha.

I know US is getting slapped with the number of orders coming in like they never have seen before, but maybe this could lead to a revamping of sorts for order monitoring.

Emory "Deep" has historically listened to feedback from the forum so I think he'd continue to do this once he and his team have a moment to catch their breath.

Just my $.02.

Remember they are getting paid to make sabers.  Not necessarily answer emails.  Though undoubtedly they have people for that.  But with thousands of orders a week, plus who knows how many emails...things take time.  And there is only so much time in a day.  People still need to eat and sleep, if nothing else, and Federal and State laws likely limit the amount of time they can have an employee work, even in Texas.

They need time.

Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: ithekro on January 28, 2016, 11:41:54 PM
I still think the Obsidian v4 is worth it for the ability to mute the sound whenever you want.  You don't always want the saber to hum and swoosh, but also don't want a stunt saber.  If the Obsidian v3 or LITE had a mute option that kept the blade lit or didn't involve programming another font into it, then the v4 wouldn't be worth the extra money.

As I mentioned before...I think what we are seeing is a literal lack of those skill sets in the staff of a company being absolutely swamped.  As before, this is not an insult; this is simply a fact about how this kind of thing happens.  Have you noticed how on Shark Tank/Dragon's Den, for those of you who watch that show, that the investors ask a lot of questions about how that sudden scale-up in operations will be handled?

I work for a company that is massive.  We have departments upon departments, and a huge support organization, and competencies like crazy to handle just about anything that can be thrown at us, serious analytical capabilities to make forecasts and to post-mortem anything that still manages to go wrong, because sometimes stuff still messes up for the big fish too.  You need most kinds of expertise we can get it in house, though once in a while they have to develop a new capability too.

These are not resources that I would guess US has.  I do think they likely need not just individual CSR's but a scaled-up PR department to direct a communications strategy as a whole rather than ad hoc, not to mention potentially having to stand up a sourcing department and also have an operations management analysis to come through and locate the bottlenecks and take them out in sequence because I am willing to bet that the capacity to do that to the degree required for a large-scale business was not there to that extent in house (for the last bit I'm alluding to the theory of constraints, and the analysis needed to maintain throughput at appropriate rates, which you see in Eli Goldratt's book The Goal).

I think it is possible to get through the crisis but I do think some analysis and some new hiring and restructuring is very likely to be necessary to ensure that the short-term crisis does not mess up the long term (which I would hate to see happen).

Soooo just to add some positivity to the thread, Im waiting on an Aeon v4 as my first saber! Something I've waited on for about 4 years and with all that time to think, I chose the time when US is just about overrun with business! Nonetheless I'm very excited and have kept calm even though I did exchange emails with costumer service rep Marlena to upgrade to premium sound, who by the way was extremely helpful! Next week will be 4 weeks but at the end of every day I'm still grateful for the opportunity to purchase something that would make childhood me burst into tears of force sensitivity. To everyone out there waiting on forever, just hold the line... The force isn't always on time

I get where you're coming from.  I heard, so far, two people that are going through the email.  There may be more but so far, I have heard two people responding to email masses.  I know it's a d*** move to give them a time ultimatum but in my case, I have another business deal to with and that $150 or $120 is my ticket.  I have emailed them 3 times yesterday and even messaged them on FaceBook to get some answer to if my refund is going for store credit (which will not be taken since I never got the item) or will go back to my debit card (the proper answer).  Once I have my answer, I will email them promptly so I can get the FULL refund of my original order.  I will be conducting business with them soon after the rush has died down and the saber I want to save up for is in stock.

The interesting question will be, will they be this much demand for the next movies?  So every December for the next five or so years.  While we have not confirmation as of yet, assume Darth Vader makes an appearance in Rogue One, with his lightsaber.  Just have many Chosen Ones will US need to make to keep up with that?

Follow that with Episode VIII come December 2017.  Assume Luke still has and uses/shows his RoTJ lightsaber.  The Archon v3.1 will be the one that sells like hotcakes along with the Graflex and whatever new saber Kylo Ren gets (assuming there isn't another lightsabers other than his and the two Luke sabers).  Will Kylo make another crossguard saber?  Make one that looks like (or is) Vader's? Or something else?

Will demand remain high for movie style sabers is other sabers start to show up?

And what about Rebel's era light sabers?  They might not draw has heavy a load, but a Kanan style saber (or just a very wide emitter) might be popular...especially with the Kendo crowd.

 I don't know if an Ezra style is there with the added blaster or handguard feature.    Actually, looking at it, it looks like a cut down Archon body reversed with the pommel and emitter being different and fitted to be able to attach the handguard blaster.

 I can say that if they do something like Ahsoka's new sabers, those will be popular because they will look really pretty with a slight curve and flattened shape.  You could say it is a sexy design for a lightsaber.  The main hilt is also rather long so it should be able to fit the electronics needed at least with the Li-On setup. 

The Inquisitors cheater sabers are probably impossible to make into an effective combat saber.  No spinning function would be safe.  How can you wire that?  And the emitter sockets would be as small or smaller than the Archon v3.  A look-a-like could be made with the round handguards (or just one side of it with the customer being able to fix a second handguard to complete the circle).

Plus the idea of a younger Ahsoka style blade set as a mini-Graflex type item (pricy pair) in the Initiate range.

I understand people want to be kept informed. For the most part we are sort of doing so ourselves. I get an email about something and I share it here and then someone else gets information pertaining to whatever and posts it here..  should it be the company, yeah. Was it overly important to me to get an email telling me that my saber repair was completed and they are shipping it back to me and that they have a scheduled pick up on monday?  not really. but it would have been nice to have someone talk to me or sent me a report or whatever.

The same as it would be nice to hear from US regarding the lead time or whatever order issues. but rankly I am not expecting miracles. I still picture 3 guys (and at least one of their girlfriends)  trying to handle all this.  After this boom dies down, they will have choices about the future of US and whatnot but right now they have to much work to cater to a bunch of entitled pricks like us.  Yes we are customers, but we need to understand that we are the majority.

if you want to cancel your order then go do it no body will stop you and I want to say that US will be very fair about it. but right now there are hundreds of us all shouting at them at once. So settle down because ALL YOU CAN DO IS WAIT!

Wait to cancel your order, wait to have your order ship, or wait to cancel your order so you can wait for the hype to die down and WAIT for your new order to be fabricated.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT.... thats all that can happen right now no matter which way you look at it

points.  I know it is. I just stopped thinking about it. I am fairly busy (despite being on the forums almost every day for hours) the best thing i could have done while i was waiting, was to forget about waiting all together.

Everyone's complaints and concerns and all that jazz is perfectly valid. and I WOULD feel just like most others, BUT I would also just tough it out. Because waiting 7 weeks just to cancel to wait longer for my money and then go and find something else  makes alot of sense when you think about it. (it doesn't)

I'm waiting for two grab-bag sabers, just because my favorite hilt within my budget is out of stock (Dark Sentinel LE), and we decided on something to tide us over. I'm trying to not to think too much about my order (and failing... ah, well.) when it arrives it arrives, US must be a madhouse right now and I really appreciate their efforts.

Only thing is, I would have liked to know about the battery pack issues before placing my order on the 23rd, it's not a biggie, but discovering the problem by chance via the forum hasn't been the best surprise (that said, it's little more than one week before they get back in stock, hopefully).

I'm considering making addons that'll let me convert it into a protoaber too, which'll easily let me add a cheap soundboard from a toy in the belt pack (actually I might try juist adding that to the hilt at some point too)

Oh, still waiting on my 2nd grab bag, that'll be a while though since i ordered it during the battery pack outage - but I'm ok with that.

Quite similar to mine (although I ordered a Dark Shock hilt), nice little dark point for you ;)

Just so I am understanding this battery shortage:

As of mid January, there are out of stock of their AAA battery packs with a 4 week back order?

Does this mean if I ordered a grab bag saber at the same time I am still only waiting the standard 4 weeks, or am I waiting 8 weeks?

I hope they're not taking any more orders for sabers that need the battery pack, as this battery back order information wasn't made clear anywhere in the ordering process.

I would assume the 4 weeks pertains to your order on the whole.

I took a look over at the TCCS website and they have a 4AAA battery pack (for 20 cents!) in stock.  I wonder if I buy one and send it to US that my order might be done that much quicker. There might be a fitting issue but I think I'll contact US tonight to see what's up!

Considering that much of the early designs (pretty much anything MHS) were TCSS compatible, I'd say it would fit.

That's a wonderful twist, good luck! :)
If US is really a small company then they might not be bounded by supplier contracts that strictly so if there's another source of missing parts, it could be easier to make a move.
Tell us what they said! :)

Phantom Initiate v3 staff in DVA & PO with 32" UEHG & Li-ion setup, absolutely love my Sentinel staff and wanted an easier one handed wield plus you can't beat the price for 2 saber's. So glad I got the emerald driver on my first saber because I can test all the colors before I order. Just finished deconstruction of my grab bag Aeon v4 and started my first saber customization. When photobucket is back up I'll post pics of my paint job.

Darth Slayvlus, I upgraded a few nights ago and I got an e-mail today notifying me that my item has had a tracking # assigned to it!

Just got my shipped notification for my Archon V3.1 order which I made on Thursday Jan 28th, 2016. I ordered a Initiate V3 with Obsidian Lite Sound but later opted to upgrade sound and just investigated to see if changing my hilt was possible since I had a bit of more cash flow available to me since placing my order on 1/2/16 :). This was possible only because I believe they can't do much work on the Obsidian Lite orders:/ but with that said, I'm super appreciative of how accommodating and helpful both US and this forum has been.

I expect/hope to have it by the end of the week. Review video and pictures will come up as soon as I get it!

May the force be with you all.

Mine is still showing 'processing' on the website.

But now, under shipping method, the fabrication time is no longer visible and just states shipping speed. A few days ago, it said '2-4 weeks for fabrication', now it just says '3-6 days for delivery'

Anyone else had this on their order?

Dumb question,

but can grab bag sabers be upgraded to something that doesn't require the 4AAA battery pack?

It's been 1 week since I ordered, but I was expecting 3-4 weeks (as was indicated at checkout) not 7-8 weeks.

So a day quicker than had been quoted on the shipping information. It is now sat at home waiting for me. Can I wait another 2 hours till I finish

I sent them an e-mail and will let you know.

Their auto response noted the whole AAA battery holder out of stock (which seems like something that should be on their main ordering page) but that you can e-mail them about upgrading.

Likely that is just for other sabers, but never hurts to ask I guess.

Well, I exchanged some emails with Customer Service this weekend, and my Obsidian Light board is now an Obsidian V4 with Li-Ion power.  I had been waffling between the Lite and the V4 board anyway, and this is supposed to speed up my order, which was one of the many being held pending 4xAAA battery packs.

I really hope I didn't just make my wait even longer....  *sigh*

Back on January 22nd, there was 6 to 8 days left before the LITE soundboard restock, so I'm hoping that my saber will be shipped this week, as it was the only thing stopping it from being shipped, as I was told in my e-mails.

Post by: Karmack on February 01, 2016, 06:55:28 PM
I ordered mine on 1/8.  I modified the order because it was originally set up for standard power, and they back-ordered the AAA battery packs.  So I decided to go ahead and use the opportunity to upgrade to an Obsidian V4 from the Lite and get the Li-Ion batteries, which are presumably still in stock.  I may have been better off just being patient...

Since this is the place of waiting, it seems like the best place to ballpark the waiting. I'd like to get a saber quickly, ideally one good for duelling, and the grab bag seemed like tge way to go at first. But having read so many people with the same idea, it seems like ordering something not backordered with ObsidianV4 sound is actually likely the quickest path.

Any advice on getting one quickly w/o paying that brutal rush charge?

Pick something that is in stock and doesn't have either the Obsidian Lite soundboard or the 'normal' AAA batteries setup (the battery pack being out of stock is what causes the delay with grab-bag sabers).

Post by: Scoimpious on February 01, 2016, 09:48:49 PM
I think all Ultra Sabers are good for dueling in terms of strength; the only question is the suitability of the hilt for your particular needs (hand size, one or two handed wield, style, etc.).  

From what I have gathered, I think you are right.  Get one that isn't backordered and order it with either a V3 or a V4 soundcard and Li-Ion batteries.  It still seems as though you are looking at 2-4 weeks though, unless you want to pony up an extra $170  :o

The sad thing is...I'm actually tempted to do it, and probably would if any of the other hilts I want were in stock.

I upgraded from an Obsidian Lite with standard power to an Obsidian V4 with Li-Ion power.  Added $50 to the order.
I had been waffling between the Lite and the V4 anyway, the problem with the standard battery packs shifted my from one camp to the other.

Received my Aeon V4 with Obsidian V4 and Archon pommell and stunt Initiate LE V3 which I just ordered last Tuesday. I can't believe they made it to Canada 6 days after ordering. Both were showing as on back order so I was expecting to wait at least a month.

The Initiate must have been one that they had made up as a grab bag because it came with a silver guarded switch (instead of the blue one that the order page said it would come with.) I'm very happy about that... wasn't sure I liked the blue switch with green blade idea, but didn't want to upgrade to the AV switch on a stunt Saber for my 7 year old.

The only issue with the order is that they included the regular Archon pommel instead of the V3 one with D-Ring. I will probably just grab a D-Ring at a hardware store and drill a couple small holes in the pommel.


I have a feeling my first Ultrasabers won't be my last

Unless my order has a lot more steps than others I image I'll get notice for my Archon v3.1 this week.  Ordered on 1/14.
(v4 sound, RGBW Emerald, Recharge port, Covertech wheel installed)

Usually they've been good with emailing me back, but its now been 7 days. Looking to upgrade from LITE to v4. Im excited for my saber, but SO SO sorry I didn't wait until the hype died a little...it's so hard to communicate with US, understandably, but still, wish I would've waited. I ordered on 1/3

That Liberator I ordered this past Saturday is already en-route as of 5pm today.

The delays seem to be more component/supplier shortages related vs. delays due to order volume. Order things they have in stock and they seem to be going out just as fast as usual.

I have noticed longer times with mail responses, though.

Just got an update on my package that it's been picked up and scanned into Houston, should be delivered by Thursday Evening ahhhh!

I upgraded my order placed on 1/2/16 to Archon v3.1 w/ Obsidian V4 sound late Thursday night and got a shipped notification on last night :)

US is definitely pumping out the orders that aren't waiting on Obsidian Lite boards and/or the AAA battery pack.

Next three days are going to go by so slow...

I cannot wait for that shipping notification! Ordered back on 1/1 but went with the obsidian LITE/standard setup so 4 more weeks to go unfortunately. No biggie there I understand US is swamped. In the mean time my friends and I have opted for the cheap toys r us brand, but they just do not inflict the pain were looking for!!!

Note, that they stated that the AAA battery packs were out of stock as of 1/11, and from that date, 3-4 weeks. So, mid February(ish) hopefully.

The problem holding up grab bags is the battery pack being out of stock, as soon as US gets battery packs in grab bag sabers should start shipping again. Their January 11 post said '4 weeks' if I'm not mistaken.

Note, that they stated that the AAA battery packs were out of stock as of 1/11, and from that date, 3-4 weeks. So, mid February(ish) hopefully.

The thing I'm wondering is, orders that were sent, processed and "ready to ship" status updated before that fateful date, will they be sent when the LITE soundboards comes back in stock (They should already have them by now, since the 6-8 days are gone.) or they all miss the battery packs too?

Those are two separate parts right? Orders with "ready to ship" status have all the parts that were available at the time the order was acknowledged, right?

I was told by Brandon when I e-mailed customer service 2 weeks ago that the LITE soundboard was what slowing the process for my order, and at that time they were gonna get the LITE soundboards back in stock within 6 to 8 days.

I'm wondering if they just didn't tell me the battery packs were also affected a lot of orders, including mine. Even though I had good service overall, I'm starting to regret it a bit, not because of the time, as I've bought custom sabers from other much smaller companies, and those took much longer. (6 months to create, machine, assemble and ship a saber. The longest time of all sabers I got.)

So time isn't the issue, but the clarity of information concerning additional delays specific to orders.

A lot of people seem to forget that even if they are under a huge stress and pressure from over-abundant orders, they have a responsibility as a company selling goods, to offer clear and pertinent information concerning problems, issues, or back-orders on parts for their clients' orders. That's part of the business.

Of course, we have the forums to get some info, but you guys are basically doing their job, and for free. I did the same when I got some info in my e-mail replies, and shared it with the community. This shouldn't happen. It's sad, but true.

I really like UltraSabers, and have a great experience with the customer service, but some things just seem very out of place.

I just upgraded my sound card on both of my sabers to a V3 and got the ion batteries for measure, ordered on 12/31 so I'm hoping with this upgrade it ships out much faster, it's been in "processing" since 1/2

Ordered on the same date, and been "ready to ship" on Jan 2nd too...

But I'm not upgrading, as it seems to be a sort of "cash grab" right now, seeing at least 75% of customers who ordered around that time "have" or "need" to upgrade in order to get their shipping notice...   :-\ 

Of course it's certainly not intentional, but they sure will make good money out of all who upgraded. (Or those who cancelled, with the "restock tax".)

Just had my first saber ordered, went nearly all-out with features with the exception of the emerald board.  I had it ordered on the 29th of January, and since I heard about the unfortunate battery situation and the Lite board situation, I decided to go with the v4 board.  Much to my surprise, it had already shipped on the 31st, and is estimated to arrive tomorrow by the end of the day!  Hooray Ultrasabers!  Here are my specs if anybody is interested- 

Dark Apprentice LE v4 with Obsidian Premium Sound
  • Blade LED Color: TRI Blazing Red
  • Flash on Clash: No Flash
  • Battery Configuration: Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries & Charger Included)
  • Recharge Port: No Recharge Port
  • Blade Option: UltraEdge Heavy Grade
  • Blade Size: Standard 32" Blade
  • Windows: Yes Include Windows in Emitter
  • Pommel: Regular Vented Pommel (hole in bottom)[recommended]
  • Sound: Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]
  • Switch Type (Momentary): Red Illuminated Black AV Switch
  • Blade Tip: Round Tip
  • Include Retention Screw Wrench: No Thanks
  • Include Blade Plug: Yes, Include Circle Plug
  • Include Saber Stand: No Thanks
  • Include MINI USB Cable: No Thanks
  • Include Covertec Clip: Yes!
  • Install Covertec Wheel:Yes ($10 install + $4 covertec)

I just feel bad for my friend, as we had ordered him a Lite board-equipped saber before we were aware of the battery situation, so we've been attempting to upgrade his saber to v4 and he will hopefully get his within the coming week or so!

I wonder why some are receiving their orders so much faster than others?  It seems that many have placed orders for in-stock sabers well before 1/29 who have not yet received a shipping notification.  In my case, the saber was in stock when I ordered it on 1/22 and it was an Emerald V4, so it was not affected by the LITE or the battery box issue.  Is it just chaotic and random over there or what?  FIFO sure doesn't seem to be happening.

I think all Ultra Sabers are good for dueling in terms of strength; the only question is the suitability of the hilt for your particular needs (hand size, one or two handed wield, style, etc.).  

From what I have gathered, I think you are right.  Get one that isn't backordered and order it with either a V3 or a V4 soundcard and Li-Ion batteries.  It still seems as though you are looking at 2-4 weeks though, unless you want to pony up an extra $170  :o

The sad thing is...I'm actually tempted to do it, and probably would if any of the other hilts I want were in stock.  

Thanks for the suggestions from you and Marina_Bonomi!

Now its just a matter of picking out which one... That might take longer than the wait time!

I'm in the same boat as you. Ordered on the same day. Emerald setup so again not affected by the soundboard or battery. Still shows 'processing' on the website.

Does your order status show an estimated fabrication time? Mine did then disappeared..

I'm currently waiting for my very first Saber to ship out! I ordered it about 3 weeks ago, Jan. 11th I believe and it's been in the final stages of processing for a while and I just can't wait. I ordered a I believe a Dominix V3 with obsidian Lite sound, with a TRI-Led  of Fire-Orange with an X-L blade and Covertec Clip. I've also placed a separate order which arrived a week ago for a Black-Yari Pike extension and a Window Coupler I'll use to make the blade essentially a long-handled lightsaber a'la Darth Nihl.
I can't wait to get it and see how it looks in my costume, I just can't wait to see it actually ship out at this point.

Waiting for my grab bag saber I just ordered. I decided to go for the grab bag saber before I grab my two dark initiate v4s so I can get the feel and weight of a US saber before I decide to go full on with buying them. I am sure I'm going to like it but it's better I know for myself then to just second guess it. It's going to come with a ultragrade heavy blade and blazing red for the color. I will like it. I have no doubt.

I upgraded mine, it took about 2-3 days from the upgrade payment to shipping.  It should be here today.  :-)  Of course, the package tracking on USPS hasn't updated since the initial pick-up on Monday, but I'm assuming that the two-day priority shipping actually gets here in two days... 

And I'm desperately trying to resist the temptation to pack it in early at work and bolt home to see if it actually arrived or not.  LOL  Like a kid again...

The spec of my lightsaber :
Guardian Tri-Cree Guardian Blue
Nickel plated
V3 sound board

I ended up deciding on a Prophecy v3 in Guardian Blue. Its my first saber, and hopefully first of many so I decided to just get it as a stunt saber. I figure that'll keep the cost down for now, and after I get a better feel for it and what I like I can order my next one with sound. After all the news about the battery case shortage I decided to go the Li-Ion route to speed things up (hadn't seen the notice that they expect to get the cases in today). Its more money now, but hopefully it'll end up paying for itself in saved battery costs down the road.

Placed the order last night and this morning I was thinking about when it would arrive. I figured with their backlog it'll be a while, but I ordered something pretty easy so hopefully I'll get lucky and it'd ship in a couple weeks. Plus maybe a week for shipping time, so perhaps end of February delivery. That'd be cool. I'd be happy with that, I decided.

Just checked my e-mail a few minutes ago. My order shipped this morning.  :o

I guess the battery cases haven't actually arrived yet so they had time. I suspect if I ordered tonight, it'd be a good 2-3 weeks before shipping since they'll be hip-deep in filling back orders so the timing just worked out perfectly.

That was a nice job of under-promising and over-delivering, Ultrasabers. Nicely done.

Edit - I actually received my "your order has shipped" notice before I got my "your order has been received" notice.

I am so happy for you...I know you've been waiting just about since I arrived here.  I assume you're one of the first who got one of the standard battery packs once they arrived?

Thanks Justicar!

I ordered mine Dec 19 with the Emerald driver and Obsidian V4.

I think the problem was that they ran out of Graflex SE hilts right about then.

Lucky I didn't get the standard battery... ;)

I'd say it's very relative about the response time for e-mails.

I e-mailed them about 2 weeks, and got replies 2 days after. I e-mailed them again yesterday concerning an issue I had, and got a reply this morning. I have to say that I personally had an amazing customer service so far, and that I'm pleased to be doing business with UltraSabers.  8)

It is possible that the response time changes depending on whether or not you already are working with a specific  CSR as opposed to sending a mail to the generic boxes.  Not sure though...

They are supposed to get the battery packs today (fingers crossed), and I'm checking the boards every 30 seconds to see if someone with grab-bags on order posts about receiving a shipping notice.

This would make sense, as I've been dealing with Brandon from customer services since the beginning, and for the past 4 weeks.

Was this your first e-mail to them? If so, then the wait is a bit longer as they are flooded with e-mails from the generic customer service box. You will be handled with a specific representative eventually, and from then, it'll be a breeze.

Don't lose hope, as UltraSabers take very good care of their customers, but right now the response time is a bit longer, since they are bombarded with e-mails, requests, and orders.

Here is the latest update, blog it, tweet it, post it, whatever.  We expect to have these back in stock on THURSDAY.  So long as customs doesn't give us anymore issues.  But guys... it takes time to make these sabers.  We have orders dating back to 12/27/2015 for lite sabers and sabers dating back to 01/13/2016 for basic stunt sabers.  We anticipate that we can get through 3-5 days of orders per business day.  I'm going to push for more.  Trust me, I want these sabers made and shipped asap.  But that is the latest update that I can give on these.  Hopefully that inside bit of information helps.

Wow, my patience has utterly dissolved (in a 'good' way lol) now that the battery things are in stock and now it feels like mine could ship any second ahhh.  Now I want the weekend to be over so I can start counting down the business days. xD  Mine's just a stunt saber so I'm hoping it'll ship by next weekend.  I'm sure that will keep me plenty busy while I await the arrival of my staff.

Honestly, I just excited to go absolutely mental in my backyard with the thing.   8)  ...sure, nothing's stopping me now, but I think a lightsaber will look a lot cooler than the plastic table legs I hooked/taped together haha

Archon has arrived.  Charging it up before I play with the Emerald driver a bit to put on the pulse and FoC as I specifically had it come without either so I would have to play with it.

It is slightly larger around than I though, but only slightly.  Can't do the video I had in mind as I was going to try to stick the Archon v3.1 inside my ancient the Empire Strikes Back era "The Force" Lightsaber and pull it off like a sheath as a reveal.   So I'll have to think of something else.

Took pictures though.

Just ordered my Archon V3.1 this afternoon.  First saber with sound (other than a Hasbro black series Luke). 

This is a dangerous site.  I started out needing only one simple saber, got the Initiate.  THEN decided I also need a prophecy, but then saw possibilities with the Archon so just had to have it next. 

So the Archon will only have the Obsidian Lite, which is fine.  The prophecy will be next, and will go with the Obsidian V4.

Then, the Menace.

Then...  ???  These sabers just grow on a person.  wow.

Chrome. When I go to place the order, I select Pay Pal, and it sends me to Pay Pal which fails to load.....

Oh boy, I placed two orders. I only meant to place the second as I thought the first hadn't gone through.......hopefully they respond to my email before they both ship! When the first order "failed" I decided to remove a couple things...oops.

I ordered a new charger and batteries, and a Tri-Blazing Red MLS for my Consular, and a new battery pack and latching switch for my Dark Liberator, so I can finally get it back in commission.

And I accidently ordered another charger and batteries, and a second MLS.....oops.

ThreadJack, if your card wasn't charged, the bad order(s) should purge out of US' system automatically after a day or so.  If your card was charged, then emailing them was definitely the right move.

Except both orders are slightly different, since I added stuff. Curiously enough it seems the bigger(good) order went through AFTER the second order.....odd, perhaps just a glitch in the email response?

My Pay Pal hasn't been charged yet, luckily. Hopefully I'll get that order cancelled before it finishes processing! Then it'll be easier for everyone.

To say I'm impressed is an understatement. It's a thing of beauty. Amazing build quality. And shipped relatively quick.

That look on your face when you first ignite the Obsidian board is priceless. It's loud and bright as hell.

I ordered the Dark Apprentice v4 with all of the bells and whistles. I also got the Small Renegade pommel which really sets off the hilt. Got the original pommel as well.

Will post some pics on the weekend with a review. Need to add some fonts and play with the emerald driver.

Well the standard time is 3-4 weeks, so you have at minimum 2-3 more to go.

I ordered the Dark Apprentice v4 with all of the bells and whistles. I also got the Small Renegade pommel which really sets off the hilt. Got the original pommel as well.

Will post some pics on the weekend with a review. Need to add some fonts and play with the emerald driver.

Admit it. Your pants got a little moist. ;D

ARRRGGGHHH!    ;)

I ordered a grab bag on Jan 23rd and it is still processing.  So I ordered another today hoping that will push things along.

*Dave looks at order* "Ugh! Still processing? How can I speed it up?.... I KNOW! I'll spend an additional $60 on another one !"

It's fun to see those waiting for the n+1st saber showing the same sort of enthusiasm in waiting like it was the first one no matter that they already have a few other sabers in hand :)
But believe me: waiting for the first one backlogged for an uncertain time has a bigger draw to the Dark Side :)
Does by any chance US have a hidden policy to somehow prioritize those placed their first order? Silently in the background? To bring balance to the Force the waiting game? :))

Lol, considering the backlog you thought ordering another one would speed up things? That just put another one at the end of the list!

I ordered 2 grab bags on 1/16 and they are still processing. Hopefully they'll ship soon. I keep wanting to email them about the order, but I'll wait til the 4 weeks is up before I do. I know they are slammed.

This was posted by Emory last week:

We have orders dating back to 12/27/2015 for lite sabers and sabers dating back to 01/13/2016 for basic stunt sabers.

We know (from members'posts) that the battery packs arrived last Thursday, Obsidian Lite soundboards are also in stock.

All things being available, orders are processed according to the time they were placed, thus the queue on Thursday was from the 27th of december. I remember someone posting on Thursday about getting a shipping notice for an order placed on December 31, so the 5-day backorder for working day seems spot on, but let's say 4 on average to account for unplanned occurencies.

Let also think that they took the weekend off (they sure deserve it), so, today is the 3rd workday since the battery packs were back in stock, they should be sending out orders placed between January 7 (worst scenario) and January 10 (if the kept an average of 5 days of backlog per working day).

Now, if someone who placed orders in those days could chime in...

I saw this video on YouTube http://youtu.be/cCgfjNeVOcI and at the 3:58 mark he says he ordered his 2 grab bags on the 18th and received them on the 4th.

That's what kinda got me thinking about emailing them.

What seems to be happening is if you ordered a grab bag (even after January 25th), and ALSO ordered a NON-grab bag saber (without AAA batteries) you seem to be getting your saber and the grab bag.

A few people have posted getting their saber and grab bags.

It seems though if you just ordered a grab bag you're still waiting.

My first saber will be hitting the four week mark tomorrow, assuming I haven't horribly screwed up my math lol.  And with the battery packs in stock I just hope just means it's going to ship very very soon.  ;D  And I have no doubts this beautiful shiny toy will help pass the time as I wait for my saber staff.

It kinda makes sense. You wanna keep the customer that spent 300-500 dollars happy. I mean, my two grab bags are only 140. Not saying that may be 100% fair, but I work in an industry with a sales focus and you gotta keep your bigger spenders happy, especially for return business.

Of course there could be plenty of other variables as well, we don't work at US and know what they are going through every day. I'm just saying if it's the way I mentioned it makes good business sense.

I ordered a Dark Prophecy v3, Blazing Red, Obsidian Lite etc etc on January 20th and the website listed a 3-4 week lead time which I think is the default.

After the whole Lite and AAA battery pack shortage issue I talked to a Customer Service Rep about upgrading the sound board because I was concerned when we started seeing news about no idea when their supplier would have more to send and 1-15 week lead times. They got back to me around the time that they were getting the Lite boards and battery packs shipped in and they let me know that even with the hiccup in their supply my order would still meet the 3-4 week lead time if I kept it with the Lite board.

TL;DR

Looks like orders placed around the time of the Lite & AAA shortage are still going to meet their original ship dates.  :)

Day 19 is coming to an end, and I'm still at processing on my basic, no sound, AAA Dark Apprentice V4.
It's not so much that I'm running thin on patience waiting...it's that the longer I wait, the less enthusiastic I'm becoming to recieve it lol. Is that the same thing? xP

I'm also starting to think maybe I should've waited another month when I'd have had the money to upgrade it to come with sound. Anyone know if I can ship a saber back to them, to put sound in it for me if I decided to do so later on?

You can do exactly that, although you have to email them before you send it back. But yeah, at any time you can send it back for repairs or upgrades.

Fortunately I don't really think ordering the second saber will speed up the processing of the first one. 

But...

I did order a saber from another company (shhh don't tell).  I ordered that one in December.  It had a 6 week lead time when I ordered it.  Then the other day I looked and the lead time was up to 12 to 14 weeks.  That's when I ordered the second grab bag.  Kind of a run off.  hehe I really need a hobby or two.

I gotta say though the best (or the worst, from my wallet's POV lol) is... well, looking at more lightsabers! -facepalm-

Some day I plan on getting either the scorpion or the prophecy and just going all out - sound, flash on clash, everything.  It'd be almost $500 but it would be so worth it from what I've heard.  Which of those hilts is best for spinning and the occasional casual dueling, btw?

The prophecy is a v3, so it's not big enough to have both the obsidian driver and emerald driver. If you can sacrifice the emerald driver, I vote the prophecy. It's thin, so it's easy to grip and spin, and it's the perfect length to wield single handedly but still long enough to dual wield

Really?  That's weird.  The option for it still came up... but regardless the FOC isn't really a life or death thing for me so I could do without it if it means having a great hilt.  The Scorpion looks badass but I love the simpleness but elegance of the Prophecy.

Aww yeah! After ordering my wife's Manticore CE on Saturday, and emailing with Marlene about the stock issue, yesterday. The wife and I were prepared to wait until mid March for her saber to arrive.

I started feeling terrible last night, sore throat, cold like congestion. So I took some NyQuil and went to sleep. When I awoke from my slumber with a NyQuil hangover and still feeling like crap, I checked my email only to see her order had shipped!!

now THAT's turnaround, US. I commend you.


Still waiting on my grab bag from January - but I understand how the battery pack thing is working right now. I'm confident that it won't be long before that one ships.

You can have the flash on clash without the Emerald board - it's the Obsidian soundboard (Lite/v3/v4) you need for that.

Ah, gotcha.  I'm still a bit new to all this so sorry for the confusion.  I'm thinking either red w/ silver flash on clash or violet w/ blue flash on clash.  But I also want at least one TRI red saber with sound... ah decisions decisions.  I have no money at the time so that's plenty of time to decide.  ;D

Sorry for the confusion. Lol Yeah, I just figured when you said "and everything" you wanted a saber that had both drivers in it. You can get the Prophecy with sound and flash on clash, and that'd be a really neat setup! My Dark Prophecy is Tri blazing red, and it's much brighter compared to my regular guardian blue saber. I'd say get the flash on clash now, and a tri color later on!

Needless to say... I think I'm pretty eager to get my hands on that Ultra Edge Heavygrade blade now.  ;D

Context: I tried to do some really flamboyant swing and got a bit overexcited; despite the tape the top half flew off (it's two table legs stuck together), smashed into my mirror, hit my guitar, and broke into like 3 pieces.  Miraculously the leg was all that broke.  But man was it epic.  I felt the dark side flowing through me, man. lol.

I wear glasses but... when it comes to easily-breakable little pipes that may not be such a bad idea, lol.  But I trust that won't be a problem anymore once my Dark Apprentice V4 arrives.  8)

Great choice. You'll get it faster than 3-4 weeks since it's in stock. Enjoy your new sabers and this forum. I'll bet 5-7 business days before your shipping notification maybe sooner, not to get your hopes up but my stunt sabers just shipped 12 days after ordering and 8 days was for the battery packs to restock. Good luck and hope to see pics.

Like I said, patience is rewarded. (Order was on December 31st.)

Received my first Ultra Sabers today. An Archon V3.1 with basic sound and standard setup. Although I opted for a TRI-cree green for a little more brightness.

(http://i65.tinypic.com/6eglep.jpg)

I'm gonna get a stunt saber (not sure what hilt yet...) with an HeavyGrade UltraEdge, and gonna put the Ultra Edge on the Archon to get a more evenly lit blade.

So far, I love it. Fantastic machining and design.

May the Force be with you all, and thanks for all the help and comments throughout the wait!  8)

Oh, yes, it will. It's a sweet saber.  Even at my small size, having this freaking awesome big saber rules.  Am I going to be spinning it?  No, for the most part--I'm 5'6" with shoes.  But can I learn some nasty longsword/Djem So moves?  That I can do.

Oh, and do be careful with it and only practice in a room with high ceilings or outdoors.  Being that your first saber is so large, like mine, you will need to think about that.  I accidentally Kylo Renned a ceiling fan with mine this week (thankfully whatever I did to it is internal and I didn't break glass or any good stuff like that) and now I'm going to have to buy a replacement for said fan.  Granted, I needed an upgrade in that room anyway but that was definitely not how I intended to do that.

Waiting on a Blazing Red Dark Apprentice LE v4 with the standard setup, I ordered on 1/16. I can't wait till I get that shipping notification, Ive been checking my order status and the forums everyday.

Let us know when you do - I'm curious cos I ordered mine just a few days after you (the 19th).

Oh, yes, it will. It's a sweet saber.  Even at my small size, having this freaking awesome big saber rules.  Am I going to be spinning it?  No, for the most part--I'm 5'6" with shoes.  But can I learn some nasty longsword/Djem So moves?  That I can do.

Oh, and do be careful with it and only practice in a room with high ceilings or outdoors.  Being that your first saber is so large, like mine, you will need to think about that.  I accidentally Kylo Renned a ceiling fan with mine this week (thankfully whatever I did to it is internal and I didn't break glass or any good stuff like that) and now I'm going to have to buy a replacement for said fan.  Granted, I needed an upgrade in that room anyway but that was definitely not how I intended to do that.

Oh, don't worry. Through high school and after I taught at a local dojo and I was on the demo team. I've broken my fair share of things in the past, so I know to stay in the garage, haha.

Day 25 for me as well and still processing.  Seems to be no rhyme or reason to who gets their sabers and when.  I see people getting them within days or ordering and others are taking weeks upon weeks.  All the hilts i ordered were in stock when i placed the order, i know they had an issue with the AAA packs but again i see people ordering and getting their stunt sabers who ordered much later than i did.

Lol, I feel SO silly!

Got home from work and saw a long, skinny package by my door.  Even though I didn't have a shipping notice yet, I thought it was my new saber!  I was so thrilled!

Then I remembered I also ordered like an entire bolt of fabric, and sometimes they send it on long, skinny rolls.

That's the point imho.
I'm still not out of patience, and i'm obviously ok with waiting because of the large demand and some trouble they had, but I'm really wondering how they're sorting their order actually. Everything was in stock when I ordered (except AAA i guess, i ordered the 10 Jan and it was out of stock the 11) and i'm seeing people being delivered all day long.

Mah, patience is key and everything will be forgotten when it will arrive, but i'm really wondering wtf happens.

Day 23 and nothing yet... keeping my fingers crossed that I might get that email tomorrow... I was hoping to hear about it this week but I suppose I will have to somehow force myself to forget about it again.  This coming Tuesday will be my four weeks for my first order.  Hopefully it'll ship by then.  But regardless, the wait shall continue~

I do know the wait is going to be worth it, and very well rewarded... but that kinda just makes me all the more anxious to have my hands on it!   ;D

It will be 28 day of processing this Saturday (ordered a grab bag on Jan 16) and 2 weeks waiting on a reply from an e-mail inquiry. I'm definitely starting to get annoyed but I know US is working super hard to help everyone out. I know they'll deliver in the long run, as they always do, but I can't help but wanting to drive down to Friendswood and grab my order off the shelf!  ;D

While unfortunately I don't know the answer to this, your question will get lost in this thread.  I recommend you open a thread in the Obsidian Order section of the forum, where it will hopefully be more noticed.

Woohoo! The custom finally released it early this morning local time! My family at home just told me it arrived already a couple of hours ago!

I wish. there's people who ordered a month ago who are still waiting (last I read, as of yesterday). Orders that are something else + grab bag seem to go out faster (makes sense from a businness point of view, mind you).

One wonders: are grab bags-only orders going out too? I seem to remember reading about some but has been a while since the last post in the Let's see what grab bag you got! thread. May it be that they've had so many orders that the stock of grab bags has dwindled?

Post by: GmC on February 12, 2016, 02:39:31 PM
I ordered an Initiate for my son and an Apprentice for myself on Jan.2th. Got an on Feb.2 advising me of the triple AAA battery problem. Upgraded to V4 but didn't realize I was quoted the price for only one V4. Feb.9th was told that I had only paid for one, so I quickly added more funds to adjust to a second v4. That same night both sabers were shipped out to Canada. I just got a notice that they've arrived.

So the responses were a bit delayed but seeing as some people have been waiting a very long time for these, I'm glad I was able to rectify it. So the end story? Just throw money at it if you're in a rush. I didn't want to but had to as one was a birthday present.  This weak Canadian dollar is killing me!

So far no one who order just a grab bag has posted saying they have been shipped. All other sabers seem to be going out, or if you ordered something else+grabbag.

I was told next week (as the 4th week of 3-4 weeks), so I am holding out till then.

I can see no stunt sabers mentioned as shipped either. Since the last "official" update was on the day before the AAA battery packs were supposed to arrive back in stock (on Thursday last week) I have a feeling that it ran out again or there's some other part shortage preventing the basic setup sabers to fly out. (While the manpower is surely there, the new advanced orders are being shipped in a second.)
It would be really nice to have a proper US update on what's happening so we could stop wild guessing :)
Can we have some bones please US we can help ourselves calculating our chances with? I'm still within the 4 weeks by a few days but as this order is my first saber I sense the disturbance in the Force pretty much :)

I just decided to ask what was delaying my order so much now batteries were back in stock, because that's now more than a month (32/28) that i placed it, and the 3 hilts (2 stunts apprentice v4/initiate v3, and a guardian with obisidian) I choosed was in stock the day I put the order.

Now, more than waiting for the shipping, i'm waiting for an answer too. That was maybe a bad idea. q:

Btw if I got an usable answer - more than the automatic response I get - I will share it.

Number 2 may not matter becayse of number 1, but the way to change it is to email customer service ( in case anyone wants to do it, I suggest writing 'order n. XXXX -upgrade' in the 'object' field).

"We have recently resolved our battery pack issue and are filling backlog orders in the order they were received. We will be able to ship this as is under the 3-4 weeks lead time."

I ordered a grab bag and a hilt to my specifications, both stunts. It sounds like they're doing a decent job of dropping their lead time down.

Thank you for your purchase with Ultrasabers.  Your order will ship out under the 3-4 weeks lead time (closer to 4 weeks). We have recently resolved our battery pack issue and are filling backlog orders in the order they were received. This has caused an increase the lead time by a few days. We will email you the tracking # as soon as this order ships out.

Quite similar, but given the extent of my conversation with her it does sound like progress has been made in lead time - she suggested it may be under 3 weeks even - so that's likely good news for those ahead in line.

US still has the quickest turnaround time in the industry so I'm glad to see things look to be shifting.

You got that right.  I ordered a saber from somewhere else, and they keep pushing it back by a month at a time.  So I was cruising YouTube getting some ideas for acid etching and I came along this guy who does amazing fully custom jobs. 

A few emails later and his lead time.....2 years!  Between that and the nearly $3k for the saber, I elected to pass on his services.

I think the problem for me (other then having the patience of a may  fly) is the first saber I ordered was delivered in 4 days.  That being a $600 wonderful beast, and the grab bag being $100 I cannot fault US for prioritizing.  But oh how I want my new toys!

Perhaps for newer orders, but I am at the end of 3 weeks today.

At this point I am just hoping it is under 4 weeks.

Congrats :)

It seems like this is the way to go: upgrade if you would like to move forward. The manpower seems to be there to assemble the sabers but I still have a very strong suspicion that US has run out of stock again from battery packs.
I wish they communicated properly what's happening with the orders under v4 or Li-ion... Unfortunately I can't see the backlog being processed at all. :/
Is there a topic maybe I'm not aware of where any official info appears or only through personal e-mails we can have vague updates?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: SpiralStatix on February 13, 2016, 03:05:20 AM
I'm thinking about seeing if I can upgrade my Dark Apprentice to the Li-Ion batteries if I don't get a shipping E-Mail within a week or so.  Again I can be patient but I'd like to have at least one of my sabers before March, or early March at the latest.  But as far as I can tell I'm not really sure if that's even an option with the Phantom Initiate staff I ordered.

Like I said though, I'm gonna give it some more time before I make a move.  I need to find $35 between now and then anyway, lmao.

I thought that was Bill Murray in Ground Hog Day.  Sisyphus.  Who would have guessed?

I'm waiting for my Aeon v4 stunt saber. Sunday will be 4 weeks, I'd be more than okay upgrading to the Li Ion batteries but hopefully it'll ship some time next week c:

Well I just got an answer.

To be honest that didn't clear anything, but if someone wanted to have some "news".

Quote
Thank you for your purchase with Ultrasabers. I apologize that your order is being delayed. As you mentioned, this is due to the stock issue we experienced with the Standard Battery packs.
 
Please note that we do currently have these battery packs in stock but the back-log for orders using the Standard Setup battery configuration is extremely large and we will be fulfilling these in the order they were received.  We have orders dating back to 12/27/2015 for lite sabers and sabers dating back to 01/13/2016 for basic stunt sabers.  We anticipate that we can get through 3-5 days of orders per business day and we'll be working around the clock to push out as many orders as possible, but there will still be an increased lead time for any orders using this battery configuration. Again, very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.
Thanks for choosing Ultrasabers.  Feel free to email us here with any other questions or concerns.

So, as my order is from the 1/10 I guess I'm just gonna wait a little bit, but that still mean people who are in a hurry should upgrade or order directly to Li-ion.

So... the waiting game continue, 34/28.

Finally pulled the trigger on a Flamberge V2 in Consular Green and V4 sound

was originally going to go with Lite but figured the Li-ion batteries were worth having seeing how my domnix stunt saber likes to get the munchies on battery usage.

I figured out what was going on, and was able to pay, so this one should ship! VP1 charger w/ batteries, TRI-BR QD LED module, and a grab bag mid grade blade. (I'm hoping for UE, but I figured it's worth the risk for $10, since it's pretty much a 50/50 shot.)

I wonder: did anyone receive a non-upgraded grab-bag order yet?

Honestly hearing of 'premium' saber orders shipping in 3 days while orders placed more than a month ago are still processing doesn't really jive with first-in-first-out.

Shipping, import duties and a 22% VAT make even a grab-bag saber a sizable expense, upgrading at this time isn't an option for me.

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.

Just ordered my birthday present yesterday. For 6 months I was looking around the net, and literally went through 4 sabers I said were UNDOUBTEDLY the one I wanted, before I settled on one.  ;D

My first choice? The Apprentice LE V4 in Consular Green - Stunt

My second? The Menace CE in Blazing Red - Stunt

My third? Manticore in Adegan Silver - Stunt

My fourth? The Scorpion in Adegan Silver - Stunt


I finally found it. Ordered it yesterday, along with a grab bag for my dad


Bellicose in TRI Consular Green, with no flash on clash, a blue button, black blade holder, a silver Covertech Wheel on the back, with the Obsidian V4, in a 32 inch Ultraedge Heavy Grade blade, round tip, long groves, circle plug, retention screw, and, of course, a covertech clip. I honestly didn't want one with sound, until I found out how amazing it actually was, XD The whole time, there was one thing I had set in my head, and that was I absolutely had to have a covertech wheel, clip, and a plug. What's the point of a saber if you can't carry it with you?


Anyways, I am SO not being patient as I'm waiting for it.  XD

 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! :D" 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

JUST WOKE UP TO A SHIPPING NOTIFICATION IN MY INBOX! I AM SO MUCH LESS GRUMPY NOW!

I ordered a grab bag on 1/16, so if you ordered in that neighborhood with an AAA set-up, be on the look out for your order; just barely over 4 weeks. That is gosh-darn impressive.

Put in an order for my first saber a few days ago. Phantom v3 stunt with TRI Blazing Red + some additional blades and yari extensions. So many options. So much excitement.

Holy pancakes!  I ordered my Manticore on the 10th, and it already shipped.  These guys are great!

Cool stuff yo, did you for regular or lithium ion batteries? I only ask because I also ordered on the 10th, mine being a Bellicose with regular battery setup.

I asked the Customer Service about ETAs for Dark Shock and Dark Prophecy. Unfortunately they could not give me an exact date, just a guess (mid/late March), so that means further waiting... maybe I just squeeze one in between that is in stock... XD

Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Master Medwyn on February 14, 2016, 09:33:21 PM
It's only day 3 of 28....already dying.....

Then let me tell you how your next days/weeks will follow :)

Day 4:
- you check your order status first thing in the morning. It says "processing". Encouraging but somewhat itchy feeling. For a compensation you go on US's website and carefully put a dream saber together and send it to your wish list.
- you check the forums as much as you can to see others reporting their orders shipped. You are happy for them but also envy.

Day 5-10:
- you buy a smartphone and take it to bed so in the morning the really first thing your eyes can sharpen themselves will be the "my orders" page. Once the blur goes away you come across the well known feeling of the word "processing". It has a biologican imprinting in your whole body by now.
- You find a few hours to watch a SW movie, read a book, you may even pull out an old SW game on your PC to see how beautiful those colours are on the sabers.
- You try to familiarize yourself with setting up a saber staff on US's website. Don't save it to wishlist though just yet.

Day 11-15:
- You start live with the unique condition of "processing". You eat somewhat less, you stare longer to the unknown. You answer the questions addressed to you slower, some of them you don't even recognize.
- On a dinner party when the discussion comes to food, the "light" and "savour" words melt into "lightsaber" to you.
- You already have planned the next possible order, carefully selecting the setup with parts in stock. But you don't order it yet, first it's US's turn to deliver the order placed.

Day 16:
- you are ready to order the next saber first thing in the morning with all upgrades necessary to get it as soon as possible. Even sooner than the previous order! The guilt that flushes your soul out as you approach with your mouse pointer to the "place order" button however makes you stop. Not yet. Not today. You can't betray your previous order, you can't just leave it behind like like it wasn't your son.
- You sign up for another sport activity after work. You don't even know what's that, it's most certainly not saber combat anyway, but you are sure it would help.

Day 17-22:
- No friends of yours seem to be interested in lightsabers enough. You  have a bad feeling about that, this world deserves more enthusiasm and appreciation towards your masterful waiting skills.
- It wasn't sure before but now you certainly feel that there's a wick in your soul slowly burning towards the dynamite. You start asking for Dark Side points in the forums.
- You've mastered the structure of the "my order" page better than those created it. And you find this skill totally useless in the same moment. The wick starts burning faster.

Day 23-27:
- YOu can not dodge the question of your wife any more about the broomsticks in the house. But she certainly is not able to understand that they have a different role now, they can't just stand upright in the corner of the laundry cupboard. How else could you prepare to perform a great Makashi when the saber arrives?
- You start loosing temper. It's all Obi-wan's fault! Your kids now want sabers too. For yesterday. You again realize how relative time is.

Day X:
- shipping notice!!!! You send that e-mail around to all your e-mail addresses to have enough backup. Check "my orders": really!
- Oh, those days with the carrier company! Don't dare not to exceed the speed limit. Safely!

Day X+N:
- Saber in hand. Your soul rises up from under a thousand meters of water: you feel you won a war. Alone. The mirror shows you as an aged person but the eyes! The eyes are burning! The smile!
- Your wife will come home later today so you have some time to create a good explanation why you need a new chandelier in your room.

Seeing orders shipping out from the 16th is exciting since I ordered mine just a few days after that... exciting to think that mine could ship maybe even tomorrow!  I ordered it late on the 19th (like 10pm or something) so I'm wondering if maybe they'll count it as having been ordered the 20th?  Either way, it's still got to be so so close now, so I'm getting very excited!

So I emailed my Li-Ion upgrade on my 2 GB orders (One from 1-23 the other 2-08) on 2-11ish.  Got request for more cash to cover it on 2-13.  Confirmed the trans action on 2-13....

Shipped notification on 2-14!

Happy dance, happy dance!

Most likely what just happened was your tracking number was generated, which means US made the shipping label.  You should probably expect it to leave US somewhere between 4-6 pm CST on Monday.  Sunday will not be counted towards your commit date.  If, for instance, you had two-day FedEx shipping, your package is committed for a Wednesday arrival as long as it is turned in to FedEx with Monday's courier pickup.

Went ahead and upgraded my Grab Bag to Li-Ions, It makes sense in the long run, because buying batteries is just going to cost that much more.


woohoo!


EDIT:::

Nevermind, they've already completed the blade and it's awaiting shipping now. so too late to upgrade, but still good news!

Just letting you lovelies know, my order shipped today.
I ordered a Bellicose stunt, tri cree blazing red, black blade holder and everything else stock/default, I ordered it on the 10th quite late in the day, so essentially it took them 4 days to turn the order around, a fair deal less than 4 weeks.

Now we see how long it takes for a lightsaber to go through UK customs.

I feel like this tracking package thing is making my life harder.

It's telling me that it's in the city. So it might even get here before Thursday. Which means I have to move my timetable up on my costume, since I aimed to have it finished before my sabers got here.

So, I got this last night, when I asked if I could seperate my order, so i could get my Bellicose sooner than my grab bag:



There is nothing to upgrade your order will be fabricated under the 3-4 weeks lead time and as I mentioned it will ship out sooner than that most likely. The sabers have to be built to the customization specifications you  chose.
 
Thanks for choosing Ultrasabers. Feel free to email us here with any other questions or concerns.

Here's my timeline so far, if it's helpful to anyone:

* 1/20 - Grab bag ordered
* 2/10 - Email sent to [email protected] asking about the lithium ion upgrade.
* 2/13 - Got an email back just before midnight asking me to confirm the upgrade, which I did.
* 2/14 - Got another email back saying that when they went to pull the order to make the upgrade they found that the saber was already complete and waiting to ship.

I haven't actually gotten a shipping notification yet, and my order page still says "Processing", but I would expect that it will ship today, based on the communication I've received up to now.

Are grab bags in a separate queue from stunt sabers?  Cos I've seen those from the 17th and 20th etc going out but my stunt saber from the 19th doesn't seem to have shipped yet.  Just curious, since it seems to be the case (and would make sense I suppose).


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Racona Nova on February 15, 2016, 05:43:11 PM
Could be because Grab Bags are already assembled when you order them where stunt sabers are specifically made after you placed your order.

Basically the same thing that happened to me. Ended up getting "store credit" because I know i'll be buying again in a couple months.. but I was told my saber is complete and awaiting "packaging."

So either way, it's good news. would have liked the li-ions, but as long as i get a decent grab bag, I'll be ecstatic.

Only this past Saturday LOL

I'm like a kid on a night before Christmas that won't or can't go to sleep cause he is too excited for the next morning lol

Mine is an Obsidian V4 as well, so I figure its going to be about a week based on other in stock sabers with V3s or V4s......doesn't change the excitement factor tho.

Still don't understand how they're working on their backlog.

Seeing the posts on the different thread makes sometimes no sense.

I ordered 2 stunts and 1 guardian with obsidian sound on the 10 Jan. and I have still no news from it. Everything was in stock at the time i put the order.

From a post from Deep;

"Here is the latest update, blog it, tweet it, post it, whatever.  We expect to have these back in stock on THURSDAY.  So long as customs doesn't give us anymore issues.  But guys... it takes time to make these sabers.  We have orders dating back to 12/27/2015 for lite sabers and sabers dating back to 01/13/2016 for basic stunt sabers.  We anticipate that we can get through 3-5 days of orders per business day.  I'm going to push for more.  Trust me, I want these sabers made and shipped asap.  But that is the latest update that I can give on these.  Hopefully that inside bit of information helps."

Yep, already saw that, but that was 14 days ago yet.

Btw I'm still okay with waiting (even if it's starting to be really long) but I just would appreciate more informations. It takes sometimes 3 days for ppl to have their order shipped even today, and their i'm sitting waiting since 36 days. That's all. ^^

If you ordered with Lite then it will take longer. I think they are unloading on the grab bag and obsidian v3/v4 stuff first. And I think the Guardian is on back-order. I remember checking it out around the 5th of Jan. and it was still sold out.
They are possibly going to ship all 3 of your sabers together that is another probable issue.

Nah Guardian was in stock at the 10 Jan.

I can't just tell you how I love this message in my box:
"Your order has shipped. (Order#: 132*** placed on 1/21/2016)"

My very first ultrasabers these are, one for me and one for my wife. Both stunt sabers with standard AAA packs.
So the backlog is thinning, well done US!  8)

Happened on 26/28

Ordered the same day. My # is 132238, so hopefully mine ships soon. I've been waiting on my grab bag before looking at ordering another stunt.

Day 26/28

Just pointing out, in stock doesn't mean infinite. If they have 12 of something, and you're the 13th to place an order for that item, you have to wait until a 13th is available. The website doesn't update in real time(I'm pretty sure it has to be manually updated but I'm not sure), so sometimes things fall through the cracks. It sucks but it happens.

I have this battle with customers everyday. "Well your website said you had it in stock." "Sorry, I only had one, and someone bought it in the time it took you to get your happy ass down here. Not my fault." It's tiresome.

I know it's frustrating, but hang in there.

Has anyone who got a recent shipping notification in the past couple days have a tracking number that is "not found?" I chose USPS Priority, got my shipping info on Feb 14 with a Feb 15 release day. I plug the tracking number US gave me and it comes up as "Not Found."

Yes, I know it has only been a day but you can understand the agony of possibly waiting longer. I'm hoping it just didn't get scanned properly at the sort facility and that it is in fact on the way.

I don't know as much about USPS as I do FedEx, but if your package has not been physically picked up, there likely will be no tracking info.  USPS tracking on domestic shipping is very poor and tends to only update once a day, unfortunately. :(

Well, if you're right, that's (imho) a real misconception of the shop.

As a developper (not specialized on web, but I already got in touch with online store), I could say that it's not pretty hard to keep a value (hidden or not) as "stock" and decrease it each time someone validate his order on this item. So it's easy to put "Out of Stock" automatically on the web page, without human intervention.

I was seriously thinking that was the case (as I hope it is on every online shop, tbh)

But if not, I think I'm gonna be sad.

Ugh, tell me about it, my saber has been sat in "MEMPHIS, TN" for 6 hours now, which is annoying considering I'm in the UK and the package started off in frickin Texas.

Probably because of the stock crisis.
And that it is cooler than Hoth in winter.
And that it works both for Jedi and for Sith.
I always liked the look of the Bellicose but I was planning on buying the Sentinel (Because I'm cheap) but when it came to the choice between waiting up to 16 weeks and getting a boring hilt vs paying a bit more and getting the sexiest hilt on earth, there was no competition.

Right xD I looked at US for 6+ months, and I originally wanted the Consular, then I was dead set on the Apprentice LE V4, until I reallized the Bellicose was MY saber. xD If I may ask, what specifications/customizations did you choose for it?

Dorpz, your package is likely waiting to go on a flight that will leave the FedEx superhub in Memphis.  Most of these flights go out in the wee hours of the morning (Memphis is -6 GMT).  I have done some Googling and FlightAware looking to see if I could figure it out for you, assuming that where your saber is coming in is London.

It appears FedEx flies into Stansed rather than Heathrow, and there are two flights that typically run from MEM to STN.  The typical one departs around 4 am CST and arrives around 6 pm GMT and I would lay odds on this flight.  What I would say is each day, check your tracking info at about 7 pm GMT and that may tell you if your saber made it in on that flight.

Well I went for Tri CREE leds in blazing red, I went for a midgrade regular 36 inch blade, a black blade holder, the default red button, short grooves on the pommel (I think it looks nicer), regular battery setup, no soundboard because I'm cheap, an alan key which I really didn't want to buy but I know if I don't get it it'll be impossible to find the right size, none of the fancy extras like plugs, wheels, pointy tips or stands, so basically just default with tri cree red.

Well, because of tax return, I was able to spoil myself, and I pimped the hell out of mine. Of course, TRI LED, but in Consular Green, a Black Blade Holder, a blue button because I think Silver and Blue look so good together, long grooved pommel, a 32 inch Ultraedge Heavy Grade (I'm a younger fellow, I have siblings to fight who hit HARD), a Silver Covertech Clip on the rear near the pommel, a small stand, and a clip. It was a last minute decision, but it is in Obsidian V4, with no flash on clash. I sadly forgot to choose an AV switch, though :/

I don't think you forgot to choose an AV switch, because when I went to order my Bellicose there wasn't an option and there still isn't, which is really weird.

I think mine is just a black guarded switch, which...hopefully won't get on my nerves, haha. I know as of like, last month, it was standard with an AV switch, but now I'm not so sure.

I watched my laptop travel that way when I ordered it and it shipped from China, by combining FedEx tracking, Google, and FlightAware tracking.  It's really fun what you can do! :D

Do note there can be a fair delay between landing, unloading the shipping canister your saber is in, inside the aircraft, and scanning in at the destination sort, so you're not going to see FedEx update right when the plane lands. ;)

You can use this map from USPS to get an estimated delivery time based on zipcodes. Just plug in the sending zip code (Friendswood, TX 77546) and then a color coded map will show up with esitmated delivery times. I'm in Bloomington-Normal, IL so I've got an estimated two-day delivery from Friendswood.

Here's the map: https://www.usps.com/priority-mail/map/   Depending on where you are in Indy, you're looking at 2-3 days. Hope this helps!

One question, though - it says signature confirmation under features.  Does this mean I will have to sign for the package?  A little worrying since most of the time I sleep until, like, 3PM.  Unless my mom is allowed to sign in the event that I'm still asleep.  Oops.  Again, my carrier is USPS.

It's a Dark Apprentice V4 stunt saber with the standard AAA-setup, ordered just before 10PM on 1/19.  Hang in there, guys!  It's happening ;D

This is great news for me! :D I ordered the exact saber as you on 1/20. Today is day #28 (4 weeks) for me...so hoping to see it's been shipped soon!
I was just discussing it with my friend today actually...I think he might try to pick up a saber of his own here shortly. /sigh...haha I see me having my stunt saber for a month or less before I ship it back to have them put some sound into it! xP

I ordered a Prophecy V3 stunt saber Monday morning before they were out of stock and then emailed them later in the day after deciding to upgrade to a Li-Ion setup. I got a reply yesterday with instructions on how to pay for the upgrade, which I did, but haven't heard anything since. Does anybody know if they set aside hilts for orders placed when a hilt is in stock or could "my" hilt have gone to an order that had the Li-Ion setup to begin with.  Really hoping I don't get put in the back order queue because my initial order had a standard setup.  :-\

My friend....I say have patience. If you ordered while they were in stock, then you're fine, but if not, then you'll have to wait longer.You'll have to join all of us , who, currently, are waiting due to backlog. it's sadly going to be a longer wait than normal, haha. I'm on day 6 now, and I'm coming to terms that, it's gonna get here eventually, and Ultrasabers is, without ANY doubt, the fastest shipping saber company hands down.

Here's my timeline so far, if it's helpful to anyone:

* 1/20 - Grab bag ordered
* 2/10 - Email sent to [email protected] asking about the lithium ion upgrade.
* 2/13 - Got an email back just before midnight asking me to confirm the upgrade, which I did.
* 2/14 - Got another email back saying that when they went to pull the order to make the upgrade they found that the saber was already complete and waiting to ship.

I haven't actually gotten a shipping notification yet, and my order page still says "Processing", but I would expect that it will ship today, based on the communication I've received up to now.

Update: Still no shipping notification (this is officially day 28/28 for me). Emailed customer service yesterday and got a response late last night saying that my saber was on track to be shipped this week. I'm really unclear as to why a saber that was finished and waiting to be shipped on Sunday still hasn't gone out, especially since I'm seeing other grab bags go out that were ordered later. Kind of a bummer.

Mwaaahahaha, looks like it must've been on FDX Flight 2 indeed! :)

Do bear in mind that should customs clearance happen on the London end, that could delay your saber's arrival back to Friday, but sounds like overall things are proceeding exactly as I have foreseen. ;)

Quick note of FedEx.

If you truly cannot wait for the truck....

Once your saber is shipped and the tracking info is live, you can change the shipping to hold at the FedEx office.  If your saber is set to be delivered by COB Friday, if they hold it at the office, you can pick it up either Thursday night if it is opened, or Friday morning when they open.  You don't have to wait for the trucks to be loaded, driven and delivered.  Trick 2.  If you do have it held at the office, pick a FedEx Pack and Ship.  They are usually opened 24 hours.

I live on an island at the end of the truck route so my deliveries are usually pretty late.

OK, decided to bite the bullet and order the other side of my saber staff.  The "front" side is an Aeon V4 with some mods in SY.  The "back" side will be a Dark Initiate V4 in Fire Orange.  I ordered it stunt but with Li-Ion batteries, and I tossed in a Renegade Small pommel for when it is out on it's own.  :-)  I'll probably mod it to look more like the Aeon, only in reverse, essentially making it an LE. 

I will eventually add either a D-ring or covertec as well.  Not sure which I want to do yet on that one.

So.  The Dark Initiate was in stock when I ordered it a half-hour ago.  Li-Ion batteries have not been a hold-up.  Might get this thing out in just a few days.  That would be fabulous.  :-)

Quick note of FedEx.

If you truly cannot wait for the truck....

Once your saber is shipped and the tracking info is live, you can change the shipping to hold at the FedEx office.  If your saber is set to be delivered by COB Friday, if they hold it at the office, you can pick it up either Thursday night if it is opened, or Friday morning when they open.  You don't have to wait for the trucks to be loaded, driven and delivered.  Trick 2.  If you do have it held at the office, pick a FedEx Pack and Ship.  They are usually opened 24 hours.

I live on an island at the end of the truck route so my deliveries are usually pretty late.



YES.  Redirect to Hold is awesome.

Heck, IF you use PayPal, you can even ship it there in the first place, even on your first order.  I just gave US the address to the FedEx Office store where I wanted to pick up and it went straight there.  If you Redirect to Hold on an order already in transit, expect a 1-2 business day delay for the redirect to work itself out.

Oh, and one other thing about HAL packages--with Standard Overnight and 2-Day Express, which are typically afternoon services, you are likely to have them ready for pickup in the morning as opposed to afternoon, so if you get a call around 9:30 am telling you your package is available, don't be surprised.  From there, you get 5 business days to pick it up at your convenience.

I like Hold at Location for expensive shipments.  No thinking about being home for the truck or alternately, for other sellers besides US, the idea of something expensive getting to sit on my porch all day in plain sight.

I would suggest that you guys go for USPS instead of FedEx. I'm sure that their are good arguments seeing as how FedEx only delivers packages, but FedEx has a reputation for wrecking packages. I waited about a week and a half for my first saber to be shipped from the day it left the facility to the day it arrived on my doorstep. USPS arrived in 2 days! Yes, 2 freaking days. I trust USPS more, since they have never failed me. Try them out.

Well, I've never really had any problems with FedEx. Plus, our orders aren't exactly fragile so the state of the package is nil  ;)

US is actually quite clever with packaging in my estimation...I used to do a lot of stuff like that in a prior job, so I am confident saying that.  IMO FedEx delivers a better experience than the post office the majority of the time.  What I do recommend, though, is to do Express as opposed to Ground for fragile items.  Express items are touched fewer times in transit.

I trust the post office more than FedEx. I've had a few things come broken from them and my neighborhood has reported some drivers throwing the packages. The post office on the other is forced to get off their vehicle and individually place the mail along with packages.
For speed purposes, USPS is better.

Is the issue with Ground or with Express?  There IS a definite difference in quality with Express, which tends to be better than Ground.

Ground. I ain't paying for express. I'm merely speaking about the most economical portions. USPS totally trumps FedEx on that scale.

That's what your trouble is there--it's Ground.  Now, if your item's not fragile, it's a better experience because of the tracking than USPS.  But if what you've got is fragile...definitely Express.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: brthegreat on February 18, 2016, 04:05:54 AM
I prefer UPS over both, but since that option isn't available I'll stick with USPS. The price hike to express is a bit to much. I rather just stick with $20 shipping. I got Amazon Prime and UPS always gets it to me in 2 days. Reasons why I love UPS and their dedication to fulfilling delivery times.

My package arrived at the destination facility just after midnight.  It just has to be transferred to the local post office before its sent out for delivery.  It said the expected delivery date was Friday, however.  But I've packages come a day early.  How likely is it that I'll receive it today (Thursday)?  I know this is a huge "depends" but oh man it's so close I can almost smell it...

For USPS, I have noticed the transfer to the local post office takes a full day.  It then goes out for delivery the day after THAT.

My saber departed from Memphis today :D the scheduled delivery is for Monday... but i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it might reach me on the other side of the pond in the UK before the weekend  ::)

Mixture of impatience and hope haha. If not it'll be a long weekend! Not normally one to wish those away but i can't wait to get my hands on this saber!

Does anyone know if there are any more delivery stops in USA? or do sabers fly out from Memphis?

The most typical flight from Memphis to the UK is direct to Stansed and should land at about 6 pm GMT if they are on their normal schedule.  Google shows the flight currently en route for an on-time arrival.

Ah nice one! Thanks for info :) Hm... if it touches down at 6pm i'd imagine it will spend tomorrow travelling to Brighton before reaching me. Fingers are still crossed but i'd wager its definitely Monday. Curses! haha

Alright- so I ordered an Aeon LE V2 stunt on 1/13, and it showed up Tuesday finally (over 4 weeks).  Last night, I ordered a Bellicose with V4 sound in tri consular green with silver flash on clash... let's see how much faster this fancy saber shows up than my lowly stunt.  I'm anxious to directly compare the wait time, because it seems the nicer sabers go out faster, regardless of the aaa battery pack issue they had a few weeks back.  Anyway, time will tell- I'll post back here when I get the shipping notice.

It shouldn't take all day to get to brighton, as it is only 2 hours away from the airport.

Last night the plane holding my saber arrived at 11pm, at 1am it arrived in the southern depot, at 5am it arrived in Harrogate and at 10am there was a jolly little man with his fedex van on my doorstep.

So in less than 12 hours the package went from Stanstead to Scarborough, via Harrogate (Which is a fair bit of distance out of the way).

Don't get your hopes up but so long as it gets through customs easy, you'll be knocking lampshades around this weekend.

Guys, I just got confirmation that they have the AAA packs back in stock.


"I know that the AAA battery packs issue is one that we had resolved, but we're fighting to keep up with.  Essentially, our supply of the battery chassis that holds 4x AAA batteries ran out, and we needed more faster than any supplier could bring them to us.  We got an initial shipment in, and we're blasting through the backed up orders, with more on the way."


So all we can do now is wait!

Are you sure? I've only seen people post about late-133XXX. At the rate they're going, I wouldn't expect the 136's to start until maybe next Wednesday-ish.

I'm not SURE xD I saw someone who's number was 136, who then said their order shipped, so I'm only guessing, they could have two orders, I honestly don't know. xD I'm just saying, someone who didn't say that they had two orders, who did have one with 136, had their order shipped. xD (Took me 45 mins of digging to find it, too....the force is strong with me this morning ;D )

Also, *I* also ordered a Bellicose! I ENVY YOU! XD Mine is a TRI Consular Green with long pommel as well, black blade holder, black guarded switch (Had a budget, so no AV) blue button detail, because blue and silver go so well together, imo, and a chrome covertech wheel at the rear near the pommel. Obsidian V4 of course, and a 32 inch UltraEdge Heavygrade ;D

XD Mine is a TRI Consular Green with long pommel as well, black blade holder, black guarded switch (Had a budget, so no AV) blue button detail, because blue and silver go so well together, imo, and a chrome covertech wheel at the rear near the pommel. Obsidian V4 of course, and a 32 inch UltraEdge Heavygrade ;D

Nice choices!! made some similar picks :D it really is such an awesome saber. The weight of it too! A lot lighter than expected and really comfortable! My favourite saber to date.

I've got a 36" UE mid grade in :)

Nice! And of course similar picks....it's the best looking saber around, the Bellicose ;) It's also my first saber, so I'm gonna be in love XD I also got a circle blade plug, and a small stand, despite the fact that I might not even use it xD Why put it on a stand when it can be on my clip, on my belt? ;)



EDIT: Dark Side point for having such good tastes ;)

It's a seriously tidy looking hilt. Even better in person than the pics do it justice! :) You will love it, especially as your first saber!! Good choice  ;D

I'm 6ft but i'll have to cut my 36" blade down a little for it to hang neatly on my covertec :)

I'm at work currently.. and having to resist picking it up and swinging it around every few minutes! Luckily my work colleagues are equally as nerdy and also keep coming over to pick it up and have a play haha.

It does just look so tidy, and well designed.  Seeing the multiple videos of it out there just made me decide that, I HAVE to have it xD

I'm a shorter fellow, so my 32 should hopefully be the right choice for me, especially with the 13 inch hilt. xD And, well aren't you lucky? XD


Thanks :)

Non-illuminated AVs are only a $10 upcharge, and are so worth it.

Also a word of warning. Sabers that have blade holders, or that have recessed or covered blade screws (namely: Bellicose, Raven, Menace, Flamberge) don't work easily with HG blades. I have a helluva time getting blade plugs into my Belli and Menace. The blade screws have to be flush in order to reassemble the saber, and HG blades are tough to wrangle into that position.

I was trying to decide between the Bellicose and Archon myself, i can safely recommend the Bellicose now i've held it and seen it up close. I'll do a review video soon and maybe that'll help you decide :P

I've been so tempted to order a grab bag and see what arrives... did you specify colours or order them completely at random?

I'm not even sure if it's possible, but after this whole backorder thing is over, I'm planning on shipping it back to upgrade it. xD

Also, thanks for the tip! It's not impossible though, right? I'll likely have it without the blade for.....a good 80% of the time XD

Yeah i was actually going to get one of those first and then do grab bags but i couldnt decide so just went with the grab bags first. everything is random i did not specify the color, maybe i should have but o'wells. Let us know when your vid is up. :) enjoy your saber, not at work tho. lol

I, like many, wanted a saber NOW when I first discovered Ultrasabers. I went through so many, and had to settle every choice. Then, tax return. Time. To. Spoil. I could have chosen a Flamberge. Or a Mantis. Or a Shock LE. But I chose the Bellicose. It's a beautiful looking saber, truly an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. It also is seemingly the most customizable saber out there.


You can choose:

What secondary button color you want. Red, Green, Blue, silver, copper, gold, chrome.

A silver or black blade holder.

The covertech wheel color.

The blade color.

The groves in the pommel.

While yes, some of these options come with all sabers, the Bellicose just has more, making it truly YOUR saber. Between the Achron and the Bellicose, the Bellicose will be YOUR saber.


:D

That's a cool way to do it though, and even nicer as you'll even have a surprise when you switch the sabers on! Will do :D and yes.... i should really knuckle down and finish my last bits before the weekend! haha

According to my correspondence with customer service, upgrades and repairs are not backlogged. The backlog is due to the demand for brand new sabers. Basically they are out of metal, and are trying desperately to get the aluminum components in from the fabricator. I work in the aluminum industry, and I can tell you quality fabricated parts don't come fast.

As for the HG blades, no it's not impossible, just more effort than I would want to put in on a regular basis.

To both Lev and Mivew,

For a simple fix on clipping your Bellicose (not sure how to pluralize it  ;)) I would recommend buying a separate blade holder. That way you can keep your blade in one, and a plug in the other. Then changing from "saber off" to "saber on" would be a 5 sec change out. That is pretty much how I store my Flam. I just unscrew the main emitter with the blade still in it.

@ Lev,
I have a simple cosplay trick you can do to your robe (I assume Jedi) in order to keep your blade on hand, but be able to use a plug when your saber is clipped to your belt.

GUYS LOOK IT'S ANOTHER 136 WE CAN HOPE NOW!!!!!!!!

Hmm, interesting. My guess is that they're still somewhat struggling to stay on top of the battery case situation, so Li-Ion orders are getting somewhat speedier fulfillment, maybe shaving a few days off delivery time. So a AAA battery order in the 136xx range would ship maybe Tues/Wed of next week, but a Li-Ion order in the same range and its this week instead...

I don't remember for sure, but if you can get a spare Bellicose blade holder, you could permanently mount the plug in one blade holder and the blade in another, then just swap the blade holders out.

Well, if they're going to be for display, you can get one without electronics at all. But you can get one in Obsidian Premium, and one in Obsidian Lite, or one in Obsidian Lite and one in stunt, or one in stunt and one in Obsidian Premium, or both in Premium. There are infinite options, but you should definitely get the Bellicose in sound. ;)

Ah good idea with getting a second blade holder :) next order i make i'll chuck one on! thank you.

Also, what's the trick? I've got a Jedi outfit which it would be helpful for :) Although for next con i'll be repping a more resistance fighter cosplay, so a jacket rather than robe :)

There's nothing better than switching your saber on to hear the sound blaring out! it adds a whole new level of awesome to it. I'd recommend the Bellicose for sound, as you can duel with it heavily and experience the fight sounds in action!

The Archon v3 can only withstand light dueling, so if it's more for display purposes then you could opt out for sound on that :)

As @Lev said, Archons are more for light dueling, so it's all up to you. Regarding the rush, I haven't seen a single person who has had problems in the last few months. US really never disappoints. ;D

Missed the delivery from USPS so I had to go pick it up from the post office today bUT IT'S FINALLY HERE!  ;D

Grab bag ended up being a Dark Apprentice LE in Blazing Red. Kinda miffed it's not a full-size hilt but grab-baggers can't be choosers (I think I'm funny), especially in this hectic time. But it acts as a nice foil to my Dark Standard Issue in CG. Time to wrap it back up to reveal to the lady friend later...

Actually, you might consider grabbing a premium pommel for it.  The Dark Apprentice with the Renegade small pommel looks pretty sweet, and with that extra couple of inches it works just fine as a full-up dueling hilt, even two-handed.

What I did with my robe was to add a "blade pocket". I took about an 8" x 3" piece of fabric (black to match ;D) and sewed it just above the hem. Then I lined up a single strip about 22" (not the full blade length) up from the pocket, to secure the upper portion of the blade. This way you can roll with your belt candy, but still have a blade on hand for photo ops or dueling. Looking good while keeping your hands free. This same technique could be applied to a trench coat as well.

Update: Still no shipping notification (this is officially day 28/28 for me). Emailed customer service yesterday and got a response late last night saying that my saber was on track to be shipped this week. I'm really unclear as to why a saber that was finished and waiting to be shipped on Sunday still hasn't gone out, especially since I'm seeing other grab bags go out that were ordered later. Kind of a bummer.

Last (probably) update on the topic for me! I got my shipping notification this morning (day 30/28, for those keeping track). I had paid a fairly substantial amount of extra money last Sunday for an overnight shipping upgrade after being told that it would assure that I would get my saber delivered on or before Saturday 2/20. However, FedEx overnight shipping apparently doesn't deliver on weekends, so it won't arrive until Monday.

This is pretty disappointing, given that I spent a bunch of extra money so that I could give this saber as a gift at an out-of-town wedding on Sunday. But what's done is done, and there's not anything I can do about it now. Sith happens.  ;)

I look forward to being able to take a look at it when I get back home next Wednesday and deciding what to do going forward. I would also like to thank Brandon for being a great customer service rep through all of this; he did a bang-up job, despite the end result of the situation being somewhat problematic.

Where are you having the saber delivered to, your place or the final recipient's?

My place. The idea was that I'd have it in hand and take it to the wedding in person.

I'm sorry this didn't work for you.  I wish I'd had a chance to speak with you before this or I would have been able to go through all of your shipping options and warn you in advance. :(  (I do not work for US...I just know my shipping.  US may have been confused because Ground and USPS DO deliver on Saturdays as part of their standard service.)

Is your plan to ship the saber to its final destination once you receive it?

What I might recommend in your place would be to have a nice card with a note that mentions the gift is on the way, and perhaps a small item either Star Wars-related or something very little off of the wedding registry.  If you feel like being fancy, a photo print of the saber could be cool (you'll need a high-resolution JPG most likely, to be able to print it as a decent 4x6) as a promise of what's to come.

Again I am sorry this didn't work for you. :(

I appreciate the thoughts.

I didn't pick the shipping method directly. I was just told that in order to assure that the delivery would happen by 2/20, I could pay $X more for a shipping upgrade, so I did. There's also still the question of why it's only just being shipped today, despite me being told it was ready last Saturday. I can see from this thread that other grab-bags ordered after mine have been shipping all week.

But, like I said, I'm trying to let it go and be positive. There's nothing to be gained by ranting and raving.  :)

Well, smart or stupid, I just got my tax refund and thus ordered an emerald Guardian. However I'm also ordering a couple of MHS pieces from someone else as they become available. When everything is here, I'm going to pull the guts from the Guardian and put them in my custom saber and make the guardian blue without sound. I know it violates the TOS but I can make the switch as I've already done it on another saber.

Has someone already had 2 shipping for 1 order ?

I ordered 2 stunts and 1 w/ obsidian lite saber at the same time, and I got 2 "shipping number" to be tracked.

Is it normal ? If yes, why ?

And more strange is that the first one is still as "Pre-Shipment Info Sent to USPS" on the USPS tracker, as the second one is already gone from Chicago.

Should I be worried or something ?

Just FYI: I ordered a Phantom V3 saberstaff on January 26th and it arrived today! I ordered it as a stunt set up with Tri-Blazing Red and VA (aka Revan haha) with standard AAA battery pack. No sound or special requests.  I did not order an LE version however that is what I received. So just as a reference for you guys... Ordered January 26th and delivered on February 20th.

Nice! I'm praying that I don't get another apprentice lol. But if I do, I can at least make a double-bladed lightsaber. The liberator in red would be shmexy, even in purple. You got nice colors bro!

I've been eyeing the V4s for a while, so I'm excited. I know...I haven't gotten around to doing video reviews for my last couple sabers. I've got big plans for this one though, with some custom 3D-printed pieces I'm working on for it  ;)  This is my first Tri-cree saber, and after all the amazing things I've heard about it I'm sure it won't disappoint. Once I get the customization finished I'll be sure to post a full review!

That's interesting. They're' still marked as backordered. When did you order it?

Yes, they are, which is why I was so surprised to see this today. Hopefully it isn't a mistake  :-\  I just ordered it a little over a week ago, on the 12th.

Hi, did you specifically ask for 24" blades on your 2 grab bags or did they randomly arrive that way?  I got a 24" blade with my grab bag and wanted 36" for sure.  All the posts I had read said grab bags were always 36", so I'm trying to figure out if it was a mistake or if 24" are truly in play.

Day #34, 1 day away from 5 weeks...stunt saber still processing.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't starting to feel sad about the wait.
When I ordered my saber, I could've swore that it said 2-4 weeks lead time (though I may be wrong? It now says 3-4 weeks)...and I had no idea about them being out of stock of the battery things...they didn't give me any kinda warning or e-mail about that, so I had  no idea to expect an additional wait on that.

Ah well...not much I can do at this point. Just needed to vent.
I is starting to get sad and annoyed though :(.

One guardian w/ lite soundboard - fire orange

And 2 stunts saber (apprentice and initiate) for a friend.

In fact as much as I love the Guardian (and I really love it) I already have the need to order shorters hilts (and blade) after trying out the apprentice/initiate by myself.

I can't wait to order another one. Or two. Or more.

Woohoo!  The house elves at US were working hard overnight, sometime in the wee hours my saber shipped out!  Accio Saber!

Less than 7 days from order to ship date! let's hear it for "under-promise, over deliver!"

My saber (Dark Initiate V4 stunt, FO, Renegade small pommel) is "Out for Delivery".
Fortunately, I chose to have this one delivered to our stock room at work. 
So I should be seeing it soon!  WOOT!

Arbiter in tri-cree guardian blue, obsidian 4.  Along with my buddy's Liberator in tri-cree pyrestone orange, obsidian 4 as well.

Edited to get color right on buddy's saber.

Hey all,
Just want to let anyone waiting for (or thinking about ordering) an Initiate V3 know that I ordered my Initiate LE V3 on 2/15 (it was out of stock at the time of order) and it shipped today, 2/24!  That was order number 139...

The wait was nowhere near as long as I was setting myself up for.  That won't always be the case, but it goes to show how hard at work they are at UltraSabers getting orders out as fast as possible.

Thank you US!  And thanks to everyone here in the forum, I'll be posting a lot with mods and whatever else I can think of in the very near future.

Finally pulled the trigger on a Fire Orange Arbiter with Obsidian v4. I really like the idea of the long hilt (I'm 6'1") for two-handed strikes. Can't wait for my very first saber!!

Excellent taste, son. The Arbiters are great hilts, as they have the length for a widely spaced double grip, but they are light enough to be easily wielded by a single hand. Plus the design is just simple elegance. Points

with my brothers dark mantis finally here. I finally had a chance to save up and buy my saber.

went through the list quite a bit before I settled on a modest saber. went with the sentinel LE with obsidian v4 and emerald. went with the raven pommel and had a silver covertech wheel installed.

gonna have to save up again cause I know my sis will want one when she tries mine out lol. still need to order my friends soon, also thinking of getting a tri saber as well. CRAP I think I'm hooked.

So as i was just looking my order page in my account, a US rep came up on a chat screen to talk to me. I asked her about my order and she told me that it would ship in 5-10 days. what i ordered was 5 grab bags, with UltraEdge heavy blade, regular AAA battery pack. I ordered on Feb10 and order number is 137XXX.

Wish it helps with others who are waiting!

Just wanted to give everyone an update...I love my saber! It took 8 days total after ordering, and it was FLAWLESS!

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5tx91JroW-Wa-_vuf3KXvw


It was just amazing to hold, and feel, it's bright, it's strong, it's loud, it's awesome. Ultrasabers really knows how to make sabers.

I'm going to feel like a fool for all my complaining once it's finally shipped (or should I say IF it finally ships at this point?).

Anyone order a stunt saber anywhere near 1/20/2016 that's been shipped (or better yet, delivered)? I could use some hope here!

GF's saber was delivered!  I didn't have time to open it because I had to dash to dance, then I have to dash to work as soon as I finish this coffee.  I can't decide if I want to tell her it's here or keep it a surprise.  Surprises are fun, but I want to tell her, secrets are hard!

And the hilt... what a beauty!

My saber ordered on 1/21 has been delivered on day #26 and with me now. In the same order there was my wife's stunt Dark Apprentice too - also arrived in the same package.
I think if you contact US with your order number they'll sort this out. (U can even use the new chat function.) Tell us how it went, fingers crossed for you!

Twitch, something doesn't sound right about that.  I would definitely contact them.  I ordered an out-of-stock hilt on 2/15 and it was delivered 2/26 (today).  The Dark Apprentice V4 is showing as in stock.

No, i don't believe they offer that as a default option, though i think you can add it with requisition charges after speaking with a service rep.

I just went completely random + a covertec.

Due to be in my hands on Wednesday.

Post by: Wrathblood on February 29, 2016, 06:22:38 PM
Wow! I ordered a grab-bag saber on the 12th, then upgraded it to a Li-Ion battery and requested a grab-bag blade for it (24"). It shipped last Thursday (2/25) and I was delighted. But I realized about then that we'd need *4* sabers, total, since my daughter and I both intend to practice dual-wielding down the road.

But in the meantime, we needed extras in case something happens to one, or if other folks (friends, family, etc) want to play as well. But eventually we'll use them all ourselves, and need to order another 1 or 2 as extras.

So on Friday, I ordered 2 more stunt sabers (Archon 2.1 in Orange (my daughter's favorite), and a Dark Initiate v4 in Sunrider's, both Li-Ion with rechargers, I hate buying batteries). They shipped today! That's amazing! I assume they've got their battery pack inventory under control again, but upgrading to Li-Ion still seems to improve ship times.

Sabers Arrived on Saturday (actually on Friday but I missed FedEx truck)

Arbiter for me and Liberator for a friend.  I was very happy that the batteries arrived partially charged--pulling it out of the bubble wrap and getting instant gratification on the gorgeous blue glow and hearing the hum of the obsidian sound font was fantastic!  I was preparing for a long wait while the batteries charged to actually test the saber!

I think the full turn-around time was 11 days!

So you're adding an extra grenade grip under the lower grip of the arbiter? Sounds awesome! Tell me how it goes maybe I'll try something like it. How are you getting this extra grip? I don't see it for sale in the parts section of the website. Hope it goes well.

Welp I ordered my second order (third saber)

Yari (Pike) Extension - Black Finish x2
[Include 16" Blade:Yes, Ultraedge Heavy Grade]
[Include Coupler:Black Finish Flush Coupler]

Dark Apprentice v4
[Blade LED Color:Sun Rider's Destiny] (Sentinel Yellow with Green turned way up to make Lime Green)
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries & Charger Included)]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Blade Option:UltraEdge Heavy Grade]
[Blade Size:X-Long 36" Blade]
[Windows:Yes Include Windows in Emitter]

[Blade Tip:Round Tip]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks]
[Include Blade Plug:No Thanks]

Spring Raffle has pushed me into the list of those awaiting a backordered saber.  Still, I did need a simple single bladed sound saber, my other sound sabers are a Menace staff (yeah, I know I can use them separately, but that just ain't right  ;) ) and my Flamberge.

So, I'm now awaiting a Dark Sentinel V4 LE in (if they can untangle my screw up, I forgot the requisition charge and will probably have to submit a separate order to get it done) DVA, with windows and V4 sound.  Oh, and a Renegade LE small pommel.

Now, the wait.

I'm in Australia so I have absolutely no idea how long mine might take, considering the current stock etc too...
But I've got an InititateV4 with windowed emitter, Amethyst blade, V4 Obsidian sound and a white illuminated AV switch.
I wanted something on the light side first and a little different too, I'm loving the idea of all that silver and white with a nice bright purple blade.....ohhhh yeah....  ;D
Can't wait!!
Anyone here from Australia and have a rough idea of how long it can take?
 (I know it depends on so many things but I can't stop thinking about it hehehe)

How are you shipping it, FedEx or USPS?

How are you shipping it, FedEx or USPS?

... normal postal service...

"international mini pac priority" with registered mail, should be there in 3-7 days normally, but they hold it at customs since 3-4 days now... I don't know if this is normal behavior? Maybe they are extra careful because I left the Li-Ions in the saber. But I declared them too, and they said at my postal office that two normal Li-Ions being in the battery pack of the saber should not pose a problem... maybe they are also not quite convinced about my declaration of the value XD

Unfortunately I'm not sure about USPS, but you might well want to contact them and ask what the reason for the delay is and if they need anything from you.

Well, ordered my $250 saber for entry to the contest. Went with a graflex SE, arctic blue w/li-ions, so it's backordered, which means the long wait.

Didn't spring for sound because this one will sit next to my "A New Hope" poster. I'll start collecting movie style stunt sabers now, I suppose.


The Graflex SE
[Back Order Notification:Acknowledged]
[Blade LED Color:Arctic Blue]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries Included *ONLY*)]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]

It resolved itself^^
I phoned my postal service; our site in Switzerland did not update beyond customs, but the USPS site could provide me with more details on the same tracking nr. So it was released from customs and is on the way to Ultrasabers. Should be there at the end of the week, so I might have my Prophecy back end of next week, if they repair and ship back as fast as people here say they will! <3

Also, Flamberge V2 on the way to me :)

So i decided to enter the raffle and have purchased my girlfriend her own saber as a surprise for her :D
She's only 5ft4, so a slightly shorter blade and smaller hilt seemed like the way to go. Fingers are crossed that she likes it! and double crossed for the raffle also :)

Her two favourite colours are turquoise and orange, so it had to be SRD with an illuminated orange switch  ;D

[Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration:Standard Setup]
[Blade Option:Ultraedge Midgrade]

I broke down (two days?  Oy, no control!  And I call myself Jedi...) and ordered a Dominix LE V4 with a Renegade LE small pommel, Obsidian Lite, Covertec and white lit AV switch.  Switch is black. Should look great with its "ying" partner, my Aeon "reverse" LE.  :-)  Might staff them up as well, I'll have a pair of 32" blades once it arrives...  Oh.  Its AS but I'll be filtering it to SY.

Received my Stunt Dark Apprentice v4 in the mail today...a day early (usps priority mail). I ordered on 01/20/16 so it's been a rather long wait for me (43 days).
But it's here now and it's beautiful! I love it...I'm so glad I picked one up. Like trillions of other mankids out there, I HAD to own a lightsaber after watching TFA several times in the theater, but was really disapointed in what stores were (and weren't!) offering. I didn't like the cheap <$20 toys, as they were way too cheap looking and feeling for what I wanted...and the sabers I really wanted (force fx) were out of stock everywhere, and out of my price range.
Enter Ultra Sabers...and I was blown away that I could get a quality saber for right around $100! Crazy!
And man...this thing is worth every penny! What a beauty!!

My mom was so impressed with it when I showed her too! haha (she's a major star wars geek herself!)...when I handed it to her she gasped and was all like "OMG!! IT'S METAL!!" haha she was so shocked by it! She thought it was just plastic.
And now she wants one of her own! :D We're going to get on her computer tomorrow and see if she can't find one she falls in love with.

Gah...this post is getting waaay too long...xP
But now that I have my saber...I'm definitely wanting sound! lol xP I had plenty of time to adjust my order during my wait...but I wasn't 100% sure I really needed the sound. Well now I know for sure! lol Yes. Yes I do NEED sound!
I'll either be ordering another new one with sound (and order it with a short blade so I can use my stunt for my offhand)...or I'm going to look into seeing what it's going to take to send this one back in for them to add sound to.
We'll see...I'm at least a month out from that (have other hobbies I'm dumping my moola into this month).

Okay haha...I'm done. Sorry for the super long post!!

My saber is here!
I'm happy!
The end!!

Hi, did you specifically ask for 24" blades on your 2 grab bags or did they randomly arrive that way?  I got a 24" blade with my grab bag and wanted 36" for sure.  All the posts I had read said grab bags were always 36", so I'm trying to figure out if it was a mistake or if 24" are truly in play.

Sorry it took so long to get back in to it.  Stupid work.  They keep wanting me to show up and do things.

Anyways I did request 24" blades for the grab bag of blades.

Is it uncommon for an instock saber to take over 2 weeks to ship? I know it says a 2-4 week lead time but it seems like other people who ordered the arbiter around the same time as me have already received theirs. I ordered my arbiter on the 18th... I know people who ordered back ordered sabers would kill for a 2 week lead time but Im just curious as to if this is normal. Mine still says processing. I dont want to seem impatient, I can definitely wait longer if need be but like I said im just curious

What were the full specs of what you ordered?  Some options may cause a delay in themselves, even if the hilt you ordered is in stock.

Yeah, if I had to guess it'd be the Emerald that is slowing you down.  It's a more complicated install, and I've speculated in the past that it's just a slower build.

Of course, I could be totally wrong and maybe your blue illuminated AV switch is out of stock and they're waiting for it.   ;)  I can tell you from my own saber just shipping that it's not the V4 sound, nor the Li-Ion batteries, nor the Covertec.  Beyond that, it's likely something that they're waiting on, and they're just as eager to get it out the door as you are to receive it.  It'll be a sweet saber, though, when you get it, Emerald is a heck of a lot of fun to play with.

I do hope it comes soon.  I ordered yesterday (3/3/16) - a Dominix V4 LE with Obsidian Lite, AS, illuminated AV switch, covertec.  Pretty standard stuff.  What I did NOT expect was a SHIPPING NOTICE in my email this morning!  That's a same-day turn-around. 

Which makes me think they must have had one already built.  :-)

THIS is the kind of turn-around US has always been famous for.  Glad to see them getting back on-balance after the SW:TFA rush. 

Oh, yeah, this was an "out of stock" hilt design as well.  Needless to say I am utterly shocked...  And a bit thrilled.  :-)

Once I get it I will be able to compare the Obsidian Lite to the Obsidian V4.  Should be interesting.  :-)

I'm thinking they had a bunch of "back order" sabers in stock specifically for the raffle and wanted people who entered the raffle to get their sabers rather than be forced to enter without anything to show for it, which honestly wasn't a huge deal for me but getting a shipment notice the day after I bought mine sure did make me excited.

I'm thinking they had a bunch of "back order" sabers in stock specifically for the raffle and wanted people who entered the raffle to get their sabers rather than be forced to enter without anything to show for it, which honestly wasn't a huge deal for me but getting a shipment notice the day after I bought mine sure did make me excited. Not sure how this effects people who ordered before the raffle date but that's my assumption.

I also think they may have overestimated how many sabers they were going to sell at the Convention this past week in Houston. but in any case, business is business!

Thanks!  I'm hopeful they'll be at Comicplaooza and/or Space City Comic Con. 

PS - No longer waiting!  Saber delivered, two days from order to delivery (though I live close to Houston).  Review up, but I'm thrilled with my first saber!

What type of shipping service did you use and what is the destination country?  If you tell me that I may be able to help you locate the outbound flight from Memphis, which may well not be taking off until the wee hours of the morning tonight.

Cool. Used FedEx Int Economy to the UK.

Are you using a flight tracker?

Yes, I like FlightAware.  The majority of cargo to Stansted goes on FDX #2, which leaves Memphis most nights just before 4 AM CST.  The key time to check your tracking is about 7 PM GMT, as that will usually have allowed the flight enough time to land and unload the cans.  Looking at the flight history, I don't see past Monday arrivals for that one.  If it wasn't on the last flight and it doesn't go on one of the less commonly used flights to London, ot could be inbound Tuesday evening.  From there it will typically take a day to transfer to the destination station, and then the day after that go out for delivery.  This is assuming no customs delay and that your saber pre-cleared before arrival, but if customs gets into the picture all bets are off.

That's strange then. My last saber shipped on Wednesday and was in the UK by Friday that same week. The weekend to clear customs, then was delivered a day early.

This one has been in Memphis since early Friday morning. Tracking still shows ETA as Wednesday 9th.

Oh well. Nothing to do but sit and wait. Lucky this is my 2nd saber, so the wait is not that bad..

Thanks Justicar.

I think it depends on how the ship date from Texas works with the flight schedule to the UK.  If it arrives in Memphis on the wrong day it will sit and wait for the next outbound flight.  If it doesn't arrive Tuesday evening in London, that's the point where I'd call FedEx.

Actually, the version without grooves is sold out.  I just got one with grooves as a grab bag last week.

I greatly prefer the model without grooves, as it was my first saber and remains my favorite.  But I'll take a DSI with grooves over no DSI.

Son of a FedEx employee.  A couple of hours after the web tracking showed that the package was back at the depot, I get a text that it's ready to pick up at the FedEx store.  Rush over there, beating the store's closing time by a scant two minutes....and they've already closed.  Completely empty and dark shop.  So the question of the day is, pick it up on my way to school, or after I get out of classes?

I do have a question though. How do you remove the blade? I tried the screws but it just loosens the emitter. Do I have to unscrew the silver part to do it?

Also, the only thing bad about the delivery is they only included one saber stand when I ordered two.

Yes, there is a retention screw lower on the emitter under the silver shroud. The Reaper has so many screws that it gets confusing! lol

Ok, so my saber arrived today and I am currently conflicted whether to feel nervous or just sheer joy. I ordered a Phantom v3 (stunt, Tri Blazing red, Standard Pack) and some addons (Yari spear and some shorter blades). I opened my packet and everything looked great, the sabers are pure awesome, the addons are great and then I realized it wasn't a Phantom v3. It's a V4! At first I was planning to get the v4 since (imo) it just looks better, but at the time of ordering it was backlogged whle the v3 was in stock, so I went with the v3 for starter. Obviously I feel great for getting a v4 instead, but I am unsure if I should be notifying US or not. Thoughts?

I will probably put up some pictures in a gallery thread later today once I have had some time to play around with it.

My newest saber is still very new, so it will keep me patient while I wait for my next empty hilt, 2 pommels, and an emitter that I just ordered.

Now, when I start ordering parts to turn my empties into awesome custom DIY sabers, THEN I'll get impatient.  The way school is going, though, I'm probably best off making actual saber builds into a summer project, even if I have all the parts before then.

Ok, I did it... waiting again, now for the Manticore, my spring raffle entry!

I have a feeling that I will have this one shipped earlier than my two "Dark-" sabers that I ordered 1.5 months ago XD

Anyone know what they do if only PART of your order is backordered?  I ordered an empty hilt, an emitter, and two (out of stock) pommels, and I don't know if I've ever seen it addressed before, whether I'll have to wait for the pommels to be in stock before they ship the rest.  Not really in a hurry for any of it, I probably won't build the hilt out until summer, I'm just wondering if it's come up before.

I feel your hurt.  My order was placed on the 4th.  No notice yet either.

The crew at US is beyond swamped right now though, yes, due mainly to the raffle.

I honestly know that feeling Iram.

I placed my order on the 4th.

I'd guess they're just crazy busy, and will catch up to our orders once the raffle ends. 

Any "custom" selections may take longer too; like a lit AV switch, or something...IDK

Patience.

I'm now madly refreshing the UPS tracking site in the hope that it makes Thursday happen faster.

I ordered a Phantasm v4 LE and it shipped within 24 hours. It was listed as being on back order, so I was expecting at least a few weeks' wait,  so I was pleasantly surprised to get the shipping notification!

I didn't have any modifications, no Covertec wheels etc, so I assume it was a quick "chuck it in the box and ship it"

My Sentinel and Initiate weighed in at 4 pounds. I think I remember saying they'd ship it all together. If your raffle entry order was on back order, then they'd wait to send your prize saber with the entry saber.

I think it's safe to say that if you've won, and you've gotten a notification, your prize is on the way.

Just had an update from UPS that "The receiver must pay the duties or taxes due on the package." Anyone know if that's something I need to do now, or if I'll just get an invoice through in the next few days? That's what happened with FedEx, but I don't want to have my delivery delayed if they need to be paid now, and I have to wait until tomorrow to check with UPS in the UK.

I'll be curious of your experience with both curier.
I have ordered two sabers so far but UPS has never been offered to me as an option however I'm also in the UK.
My FedEx experience was great so no complaint but you are not the first one using UPS while I may miss something here about how to choose curiers properly...

My GF got the same email from UPS.  She's gathered funds for COD.  I'd say to expect that.

We're in Canada though.

Update: Gf just called UPS, and they WILL NOT accept cash at the door.  Cheque or CC only, alternatively we could pay via telephone once the exact amount is known.

Again, that's in Canada though.  It might be wise to call yourselves, to see if the policy is different in England.

I haven't received any email or updates of UPS At this moment. I did get one this morning telling me they needed my ID number, shipping reference number and a description of whats in the box(shore because of being from Canary Islands).I emailed them quick, and good job I did, if not it would been delayed. At that point it was blocked in Houston, and after I emailed them with My ID number then the package moved over to Louisviille. And there is been since noon...

That should be fine, then. The e-mail says how much I owe in UKL, which I can only assume is some cackhanded way of writing 'pounds' or 'GBP'. If it's actually in United Kingdom Lira, I may have a problem paying in an imaginary currency :D

Thanks, and +1!

What's the exchange rate on that UK Lira James ? lol . . .  :P

Perhaps they'll accept Republic Credits . . . . hehe


I've just received my shipping notice for both raffle entries, and also received info from UPS . . . . A first time for me also . . . . FedEx has always been great, so lets see how UPS goes for Australian deliveries . . . And just for reference, my notice from UPS didnt say anything about additional fees or payments . . .

I can't say what you should expect then, but also, for Canada at least, they pre-clear at the border I think.  

Tracking shows it to be in Canada, but then next hour it's back in the states.  I think that's to expatiate the actual border crossing.

Again, not sure how it'd work for you.

Points to each of you too.

Can someone accept it for you?
Alternatively, an email to UPS will make sure they deliver it while you're home...once you get the initial that is...which is very soon I hope.  :(

I got the same. You can either phone up customer services to pay, or I've one paid the UPS driver by card at the point of delivery.

In a way I guess it's better than FedEx invoicing you later, because it's a more visible way of doing it. Rather than a bill coming a bit out of the blue a week or so later.

Yes, I did get the "pay more" email from UPS.

Watching ROTS should be a good distraction.  Maybe I picked that one, because I have a blue and red stunt saber on the way?  Hmmm...

Edit:
I will show and discuss the issue in my reviews of both sabers.

How do you know is in the planeta already? Does it say in the UPS tracking website? When I look it up it says it left Philladelphia about 12:30(England time, same as canary).

Louisville, KY, United States    22/03/2016    16:29    Departure Scan (national hub)
Newark, NJ, United States    22/03/2016    18:22    Arrival Scan (Newark International Airport, best as I can tell)
Newark, NJ, United States    23/03/2016    9:40    Departure Scan (onto the airplane - in this case I followed on http://uk.flightaware.com/live/fleet/UPS)
Stansted, United Kingdom    23/03/2016    20:11    Arrival Scan (and now in the UK, so gone from the flightaware site)

Unfortunately no-one's going to be home on Tuesday, and it looks like that fee has to be paid before I can change a delivery date/site, so I probably can't collect over the weekend, either.

It's fine. Whatever the prize is, no matter how awesome my Flamberge is, I can be patient. Not like I have any choice :D

Thanks, everyone. I try to stay pretty resilient. Years if sports as an athlete, coach, referee and administrator have taught me you can't dwell on stuff too long. You have to keep thinking, "Next play. Next move. Next call." I also think back to my soccer days, if we got fouled, but play needed to continue, the ref would yell, "Play on!" Good life lessons in those two words.

If these had been my first 2 sabers, I would have been a lot more upset, but since they're not, I know I'll be just fine.

Post by: BeaverFever502 on March 24, 2016, 10:14:52 PM
Been playing around with my Dark Catalyst for about 1 & 1/2 hours.... I LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH!!
Though when I ordered it I couldn't make up my mind on what color to ship it in. I was torn between Dark Violet Amethyst, Adegan Silver, or Sunriders Destiny..... SOOO I figured I'd do all 3!! Why not, it has an Emerald drive! Silver, pulsing to Sunriders, FoC Dk VA.

I assumed it would be an odd combo, which is why i did it. Sort of a "demo mode" of the colors.... I knew I wouldn't like all 3 together so i ordered it like that to force me to plug it in and play with the driver. I just didn't want to be so happy that I didn't play with the colors. I was right...too bad I was wrong in my thinking that I own USB to Mini USB, turns out they are all micro  >:(

I have about an hour before my wife comes home from work, and she's getting me a cable! Cant wait to play with the colors until i have what fits me most!!

Just waiting on my other sabers  8)

*EDIT* ^^Those sabers will be here monday

My parcel is still in Germany since last wednesday...and it hasn't left yet to come over to Spain...It was suposed to arrive Friday the first, but they have delayed it to Monday the 4th... Not liking UPS at the moment, specially since it got to Europe. It took two days to get to Germany since US shipped it. But it's nearly going to be a week in Germany now. Ultrasabers has been wonderfull, they shipped it in three days since I ordered it and it was on back order, so that is very fast.

My Dark Apprentice V4 and Giveaway initiate will be here by 4:30pm !!!

Well well well... When they used UPS 2 day, it got here at like 5pm... FedEx brought my sabers before 10am!!

Unboxing had it's surprises; some good, some bad.

I'll start with my Dark Apprentice V4 w/ FoC & Obsidian, that I bought for my wife. Firstly she told me not to open her's or she'd be mad....I'm not 100% sure on how serious she was, so I left it in the bubble wrap for her. Just to be safe!  :D
However, I still turned it on to make sure it worked, to see the colors, etc. The VA she got is a lot more purple than I expected, which is nice. On cameras VA shows up WAY pinker than it is; imo. 
That said, here is some BAD NEWS: She wanted SRD for her FoC, they gave me AS. I know AS is the standard FoC for a lot of their colors but imo, IDK why I would pay $35 to have it flash white. I would've rather not have gotten the FoC than to have white, sorry just my opinion. UGH now what to do? Idk how she will feel about it, but even if we decide we still like it and that it's no big deal...there's still the principle of the matter. I paid and for one thing and didn't get what I asked for. I hate letting people get away with that by just accepting it, but then there's the back pain of returning it. I'm sure I'd have to pay to ship it to them, and then it's another waiting game of who knows how long.  ::)

I understand things happen, sorry I'm just venting a bit....  >:(

Now that we've gotten the veggies out of the way, let's have dessert!

THE GOOD NEWS: My (son's) Giveaway Initiate! I was hoping to get a Dark (or Dark LE) hilt, V4 with windows, OR v3. All he cared about was it having a red blade. You all know it's a random grab bag Initiate so all I could do was make the request and hope for the best. I didn't want to get greedy in my request by asking for all the above, so I just asked if they could hook me up with BR in the comment box when I ordered.
We got an Initiate V4, DK LE, in BR (no windows though) !!!! LUCKY LUCKY on the hilt, and totally awesome of them to fulfill my request for red when they absolutely didn't have to. Perhaps it's because I did mention it's for his b-day, but from what I've seen from others here it's not uncommon for them to do that for you. And perhaps he got the Dk LE because they knew the little sith would prefer black  ;D

So as you may think, I'm a little emotionally twisted. Very very very happy about my boy's saber; Ultra Sabers made this the best b-day gift ever! But I'm upset about my wife's saber being wrong  :-\

Pictures to come later on, and still waiting to have time for videos.

Beaver, sorry you're a little disappointed with your wife's FoC option. If you look here http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=3652.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=3652.0) you'll see that Bane's Heart and AS are the only 2 options for a VA saber ' FoC. When you order your saber, there is also a disclaimer that if you choose an incompatible color, you'll get AS by default. So, at this point it's out of your hands, unless you want to change the color and everything.

Plus a 20% restocking fee.....

I did it once again. I've screwed up both times now that I've purchased sabers, buy not reading all the steps fully. Oh well...it's my fault again, no one to be mad at but me. Hope she likes it  :-\

I'm sure she will. The AS will be a nice contrast on the color. More noticable than BH. It'll look great and sound great.

Apprentice v4 in Emerald Green arrived (third attempt, but only 11 days after ordering it).  Presently it is charging.  It is an Emerald saber (RGBA) with Orange FoC.   I'll likely add a pulse/flicker to the Emerald Green before I start really messing with it.

I'm hoping the UPS tracker has failed to update and they are still on time!

Anxious to see this thing actually show them closer and say out for delivery!

Supposed to be here between 10:45 - 2:45.. don't fail me now patience!  :D

There seems to be a problem with the customs fee, according to the tracker. I paid it this morning over the phone, but by then it was already on the truck. I'm hoping the driver will check in with the depot and call at my house once I'm home...

...not expecting, but hoping! I'd guess I'll get mine now either tomorrow or Thursday. I'll just have to be patient. More patient. Patientest :D

Ah that sucks! hope they still continue on route and you get them sooner! :o

I just contacted UPS, and despite the tracker not saying out for delivery.. there are no delays and they should be with me shortly.
Oddly, i've received no email about a customs charge at all, nor was it mentioned on the phone... here's hoping the driver doesn't ask for a COD fee and perhaps it's slipped through the net...  :D

Have cash/a chequebook ready, just in case. Not sure they can take cards - they must be about the last big business to accept cheques, but it's cool that they do. Must be a lot of people (like me) who find it hard to easily lay their hands on random amounts of cash.

Sadly, i promised my girlfriend i wouldn't open the box and that she could, as my raffle entry saber was one i purchased as a surprise for her. (She knows i've ordered a saber, but not which one :p)

So... pics to follow later on when i've finished work and we've opened it together!!  ;D

It's past the customs and now it's in transit on time, back to the scheduled date that was supposed to be in the first place, It will be in my hands this Friday...looking forward to wield my first Ultrasaber!! Three more days to go... First Ultrasaber in the Canary Islands?... not shore, but could be... I hope it spreads out like a virus. Or I'll start a Jedi academy in my town...who knows? just joking...I'm just excited
No. Run with that idea.

Don't rest until each and every person on the islands has a saber.

Then they truly would be the US Canary Islands. ;)

A point for wielding your first, and for the Freudian slip...lol

Thank's for the point. There is an empty local next to where my brother lives, and we did talk about renting it to start a Jedi academy, but we haven't got any money, lol... If we win a lottery, we will hire a martial arts teacher (and nerd), and We will be in charge of the philosophic Jedi (Jedi council) part... haha... Another point for you too. And may the force be with you.

My Sentinel and Initiate just shipped. Again. I get to go through the agony of waiting for them. Again. I get to pace all day on the day they're scheduled to arrive. Again. But, I also get to unbox them. Again. I just hope they're not broken. Again. Yay!

Oh, and I get to go back to hitting things with them. Again. And, sometimes I hit things on purpose.

My sentinel v4 has got to my town now, and the scheduled day is tomorrow, Friday, but I got an UPS email saying they tried to deliver it today and  that no one was at home, but that's not true, because me and my wife have been all day here and no one has come. They say in the web they have reprogramed the scheduled date to tomorrow Friday, but the truth is that has always been the scheduled date. I'll wait until tomorrow to see what happens... Does anyone know if is typical of UPS to do this?? The email got to me at 22:00 at night...

The fault is of my mobile phone...they called on the phone yesterday at 8pm, but my phone didn't ring, and today I turned it off and on again and a message from my phone company got to me saying someone called yesterday(it was the "UPS" driver)... he didn't ring the buzzer of my flat because it was late... Well, he will be here again this afternoon... more waiting...

Imho the hilt itself feels too "simple" and the claws feels too "big" and not really subtil.

For a very agressiv sith, I guess that's cool, but i'm more an elegant jedi. q:

I have to admit that the claws are rather large.

It'd be too big for me.

From a looks standpoint alone though, I think it's cool. :)

Two Consular pommels are all that's holding up a bits and pieces order of mine.  That kind of order is a lot easier to be patient for than a whole saber, though.

I took a walk on the Aeon-line: I ordered an Aeon v4 stunt in consular green and two Dominix LE v4 stunts in blazing red (one of which goes to my friend who is a true sith master :)). The red is just a haunting colour and this was a good time to get one, so as the classic green.
However I'll always remain to be a silver knight :)

nah it's fine, I know that they are/were out of stock when I ordered; I just thought that Dark Shock and Dark Prophecy might be coming back in stock soon, as they are now roughly three months oos; also they said that Manticore should be back in early April - still hoping for them to be shipped soon, because I need those reward points for ordering something within the second spring raffle time :)

Impatiently waiting for my daughters Initiate V4 so I can properly beat the snot out of her instead of holding back because her saber was a cheap toy that would snap like a twig! :)

I just purchased my first saber from Ultrasabers and its the Manticore with Obsidian V4 sound (Emerald). For those of you that also ordered the Manticore, I just got an email from US this morning mentioning that the Manticore should be back in stock by the end of the month or early May. Hopefully it gets here by the end of May because my nephew is having a Star Wars themed party that I would like to show off at.  ;D. Waiting for your first saber is tough especially with all the research you do and finally hit that "Place Order" button. This month or so of waiting is going to be rough!

I'm waiting to be able to afford a pair of new sabers xD  I'm saving up for a Dark Initiate V4 in DVA, and a Aeon V3 in Consular Green - the Initiate will be the other half of a saberstaff, with a pike extension in the middle, and the Aeon for a more standard dueling saber - right now my two sabers are my spear and a curved hilt from one of the other guys, so something a bit more "normal" will be nice lol.  Hopefully going to be ordering those before the end of the month!

For the Manticore, yes, they said repeatedly early April; as well as there was "8 weeks" for Dark Shock in the beginning of January before I ordered it at the end of January, and then repeatedly "from 8 up to 15 weeks", regardless if I asked in early February or mid March.

That just sucks.

I'm sorry, my fellow Knight of Ren.  Is there any possibility that any of your order could be sent early, as soon as it arrives, instead of waiting for the other sabers?

When they are in stock again, I can mail them and then they send the one that is in stock earlier, but yet none of them are in stock and won't be in the next one or two weeks, so it doesn't really matter if I'm waiting another week, month, year. I'm just mad about time estimations that are constantly pushed back. I know "it's done when it's done" as a developer really well, but then they should just say it. It really makes me hesitate to order another one within the time of second spring raffle with the constant disappointment of being put off, more so because I don't even have the reward points for it now.

If you have no points and that many things back-ordered...I'd probably wait if I were in your position too.  Plus, I can't imagine that another order would help the backlog any.

So review is going to be delayed a bit, Just received and unboxed my Overlord and the saber is awesome, great feel and easy to spin but the blade is messed up. From the top of the emitter for about 4" it looks like someone beat it with a hammer. I of course emailed the crew and sent pics. So until I hear back and have a blade I am holding off on the review. Anyone else ever get a messed up blade?

First impressions on the hilt though are great. I am liking the look and feel.

We've fortunately never experienced that.

Can't you use a blade from another saber?

As usual, Ultrasaber's customer service is top notch. Replied to my email and sending me a replacement. This right here is why I spend my money with ultrasabers.

This is not so good, since a Dark Prophecy is one of the leading contenders for me to order as a last minute raffle entry.

I feel your pain. I ordered a Bellicose and, at least a while ago when I asked, they weren't even sure when it'd be in stock again. Which is fair, but certainly makes a person antsy, haha. May the Force be with you!

That is a little suspicious because I ordered a DP V3 on Feburary 5th, my first saber, and got it a week later. I order my second one and am waiting.

FYI it was a Dark Prophecy V3, blazing Red with Obsidian V4 sound.

Was disappointed to hear it's gone from first of April to mid April and now end of April too Layana. Hopefully it won't slip any further. Had hoped it would ship sooner but looks like it will arrive about the same time as my DL44 ANH blaster parts. I have a deadline to complete that project for a upcoming convention so will have to hold on my Manticore mod until that is completed. Too many toys to play with ... woe is me!  :D

I'm baaaack! Though I haven't been on much, I've been lurking. And I lurked myself right into a new stunt saber! Base model dark initiate v2, no bells and whistles, fire orange and small enough for one handed practice. I tore the cartilage in my right wrist (read dominant!!! hand *facepalm*) attempting to learn broadsword, so since I can't use it, and will likely be a month long recovery, I figure this is my treat to myself...and a reason to continuing to relearn fencing using my left hand. I'm a glutton for my love of all things swordplay, what can I say? And I love my Sentinel so much, I had to come back for more UltraSabers!

Awesome orders! I'm in the same boat as you and couldn't be more excited. Ordered my Emerald Manticore with Obsidian V4 on April 7th and the waiting time so far has been agonizing. Planning to do a review on mine also. +1 for you. Congrats on your orders.

By all means, haha haha. TBH, it's just a run of the mill stunt initiate. Aka, tax refund and gift card enough to justify blowing $75 on. You guys are going to have hard core beauties coming your way, so of course US is taking time to get the hills in stock, make them up to all the crazy awesome standards they have.

Woo hoo my first saber has shipped! Well at least I think so. Got an email from US saying it'd be shipping soon this morning then got another email from UPS about a package delivery. Dunno if it's my saber or something completely different though since my the order is still listed as processing in my account page. For anyone who's ordered before, do you know where the package would ship from? That should help determine if it is indeed my saber on it's way.

Really I just had mine come Fed Ex and as a matter of fact 3 this year alone and all Fed Ex. When I ordered my Raffle entry it was also Fed Ex.

Woo hoo my first saber has shipped! Well at least I think so. Got an email from US saying it'd be shipping soon this morning then got another email from UPS about a package delivery. Dunno if it's my saber or something completely different though since my the order is still listed as processing in my account page. For anyone who's ordered before, do you know where the package would ship from? That should help determine if it is indeed my saber on it's way.

if your order says processing still the UPS is probably something else. I have always had my order show shipped with the tracing number on it before I received any notification from the shipping company. Does the UPS tracking say what state the package is coming from?

Yep, my last order came FedEx (a couple weeks ago), and I'm having an order delivered  tomorrow via FedEx.

I'm pretty pleased about it, since FedEx is easier (or has been, in my experience) with rerouting a delivery to a FedEx store for delivery if I'm not going to be home to sign for it.

If you're not going to be home the day of schedule delivery...when you get your shipping confirmation email from FedEx proper, they give you the option to customize delivery, and one of those options is 'presigning' for the package. It's a form you print out and sign and date, and give preference to where you want the package left at (front door, back door etc). Come day of delivery,you tape it to your door, and you're good to go. They'll scan the form's barcode  in,and that's your signature. I'm doing this for my little stunt saber coming this Saturday, because I have to work. Super easy. *Note you can only do this if your signature requirement is marked as an indirect by FedEx!*

Note you can only do this if your signature is marked as an indirect by FedEx , which I think is what any saber delivery is....

I don't think this is quite right...I think sabers are Direct Signature Required (DSR), not ISR.  Additionally if the declared value exceeds $500, the DSR option will be forced no matter what. Be sure to check this ASAP on FedEx.com for your shipment.

If it is a DSR shipment, your best bet is to call 1-800-GOFEDEX and have it held for pickup.  Note that they will NOT tell you that redirect to hold can cause a 1 to 2 business day delay.

BEST case though if you know you won't be home: give US the FedEx location of your choice as the delivery address and let FedEx take care of the rest for you.  (Note: if it is your first order with US, you MUST pay via PayPal or this option will NOT be allowed.)

Mine's marked indirect signature required, under the special delivery/handling requirement on the email from FedEx? It was under $80 via credit card. Obviously value begets amount of security. So I therefore retract the last statement about all sabres being indirect. Lol. No, seriously don't do this if you're rocking a $500 + blade, guys.  The option to do this is only available through a link on your FedEx email, *if* yours is an ISR. If not, like was mentioned above, you have to either have it held, or what have you-.

They're using UPS these days, so it's probably your saber

When I've set my shipping to the lowest available option my sabers have come via FedEx.  When I've selected the FedEx 2 Day shipping option they've come via UPS - which I prefer.  FedEx in my area is absolutely terrible; the ETA I'm given for delivery ends up being days off.  UPS has been exact.

Quick update for anyone who actually cares. As expected, it turned out to be something completely unrelated. Figures considering it had only been 2 days since I ordered. So back to playing the waiting game. At least the shipping should be pretty fast since I'm also in Texas. Yay for local.

The major component of project: Chimera is held up due to backordered and unrelated pommels, the Force only knows when that logjam will clear up, AND I still need to even see if the project is actually feasible, PLUS order one more major part to the project.

So stow your stow it.   :P

I do still need one more Obsidian V4 board, along with AV switches and bezels, another classified component for Chimera, and my order that's on hold for backordered stuff, for the bulk of the hilt that will become Chimera and emitters for Havoc.

I think that long of a wait is what we're all looking at.  TFA unleashed a tidal wave that US and others could not foresee. Some of us held out on orders to let it die down and let them catch up. Now we might be seeing a mini tidal wave when their stock was low due to the high number of orders they had to fill due to the TFA rush.

First things first. First he to find me, then he has to penetrate my defenses. And that's assuming he can evade my Force attacks to get close enough to engage me in saber combat.

The odds are long, but I think he was referring to points.

Yeah, girl. Points for style. I gotta wait one more day to get paid to pull the trigger on the second half of Project:BOOYA!. And then it too needs to go to Drahcir for custom finishing. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I want my sabers.

No, I inadvertantly maimed a Jedi this morning, so thought throwing some pointy things at a Sith would balance it out  ;D

Hey cdo221,

Not necessarily.  It would depend on when UltraSabers actually got the hilts in stock.  Could be 16 wks; could be tomorrow.  Then they have to build your orders. :)

Great choices BTW - especially the crimson Menace.

Cuz you'd probably wouldn't sleep. Or do laundry. Cut the grass. Do the dishes. Eat. Breathe. Basically with an entire day with a new saber you'd cease to exist. You should thank your delivery company for allowing you to live.  ;)

As some one who has a Prophecy on back order just curious...  Does this mean its a minimum of 16 weeks before hilts are back in stock.... or Hilts will be
re-stocked at some point in the next 16 weeks and orders shipped?  If it's and additional 16 weeks from today thats a minimum wait of 20 weeks for me.

And, Yoda did use saber throw as a good tool to impale stormtroopers as he entered the fallen Jedi Temple. And Vader used it to bring down a catwalk Luke had jumped to during their duel aboard Death Star 2. So, I think it works.  ;)

Yes, but here in the real world where we have yet to perfect the "recall" aspect of a saber throw......

I also find that bit to be hypocritical on Yoda's part. (Poor continuity) "A Jedi, uses the Force, for knowledge and defense. Never for attack." [Yoda, ESB]

<throws saber, guided by the Force, into clone's face> [Yoda, ROTS]

Whilst defending the jedi from complete anhialation in response to an unprovoked attack by the clones. We also didn't see the beginning of the fight. Perhaps, however unlikely, they tried to sneak in, were discovered, and we're attacked first.

Ok so it's not the best mod ever but it gets the point across, it for sure reads Kenobi's clone war saber.  I just wonder if that plastidip will hold up to my use of it.

The v4 dominix has become possibly my favorite saber.  I imagined it to be closer in size to a sentinel (my previous favorite) but it's noticeably thinner and the emitter choke point is like the best thing.  This is a saber made for spinning.

Defence it is. It's an act when you throw your lightsaber to remove the fence between you and someone else you would like to connect with. De-fencing was a common symbolic way to break through that psychological barrier between the true jedi and the muppetized clones after Order 66.

Still waiting for Consular pommels to come back in stock for an order that has two of those, an empty hilt, and an emitter.  (Wouldn't it be funny if it's lack of pommels that's holding up all the Consular orders?)

Since yesterday, waiting for a Dark Menace in Emerald Green, V4 sound and QDs, and also for a Dark Apprentice V4 staff in tri-AS (stunt).

Since this morning, a 1st place raffle prize!

Great solution to your problem! And that's great that you'll have one for her, too. I have an Initiate sitting in bubble wrap and a box for my son for Christmas. It's so difficult to keep it a secret! Best wishes to you on that front.

I'm still waiting on my entry to the first spring raffle, a Dark Prophecy V3 in BR, but there's no telling how long that's going to be. On the up side, my entry to the second spring raffle, an Aeon LE v4 in VA, just shipped, presumably along with my 3rd place prize in the raffle.

Any news on the Manticore back in stock time? I had in mind that there was something about end of April or beginning of May, but the first option seems now out of question; any news if it is back this month?

It's going to be a long four days.

Does that mean your raffle prize is also on the way to Drahcir?

Ah, but I'm not waiting on a Consular hilt, just two pommels.   ;)

They're holding up an empty Renegade hilt and a Dark Manticore emitter, which I ordered along with the Consular pommels.

I just like the Consular pommels for the V4 hilts.   ;D

The same thing happened to me ... go to the US store and log in, view orders/track packages, then select to view your order in invoice form, trac # should be on the top left of the page. Copy and paste to track on FedEx site ... think it must be a small mix up of info sent out to a few of us.

And today placed an order for three of our friends (we plan to troop together as Jedi at the next Venice carnival) :

1 Obsidian LITE Archon 2.1 in guardian blue

1 Obsidian LITE Archon 2.1 in consular green

1 Obsidian LITE Sentinel LE in Consular Green

The power of Ultrasabers is spreading in Northern Italy...

Then to get me a new Heavy Grade blade for my first Liberator too.

If the local time means Memphis time, that is not unreasonable for a flight to leave MEM at that time.  I know there's a flight to CDG (France) around that time, if your saber is stopping there to be sorted before flying on to (going to guess) Rome.  But I am having some trouble figuring out the exact route so I can't tell you for sure.

Yes, Memphis time. The strange thing, Justicar, is that my husband's saber in March went from Memphis to New York, and from there overnight to Milan. It may well be that FedEx changed route but I'm a bit confused by the lack of updates.

Hmmm...if you don't see it land in the morning, I suggest you call FedEx to double check and make sure there is not a customs preclearance delay.  Please don't be upset with this but Italian customs was one that I learned in a prior job to pay particular mind to due to likelihood of administrative hangups.

Not upset at all, that Italian customs may be a nightmare (if not a black hole) is well known over here (I hope I didn't just jinx myself ;) ).

I didn't want to mention the black hole part, but I had a customer or two that had something go past the event horizon.

But I have a feeling that if FedEx could do anything on their end to pre-clear your package while still in Memphis, they would do it because they're pretty clever.

Yay, I got my raffle entry (Dark Menace which got stripped down and rebuilt as Project: Undercover, see the raffle prizes pic thread in the gallery for a full explanation of that one), my prize (a Crimson Scorpion in 4-channel, yes, 4 for a 1st prize saber), and my stunt "beater" Dark Apprentice V4 staff in Tri-AS, which I'll use with LEE filters to practice new spins and moves.

Now I'm waiting on the rest of the components for Projects: Havoc and Chimera, about half of which are held up, as so many orders are right now, by the backorder status of Consulars.

In the meantime, I need to hit up Radio Shack for a breadboard.

Waiting for out of stock sabers is hard...which is why even though I'm still looking forward to my Bellicose, I decided to spring for a Guardian too. (R.I.P., wallet!)

...which is in my state now. Projected arrival is tomorrow and I am so ready. @@

Just got an update on my manticore order yesterday:

"Hello,

 The Manticore has been delayed and it’s current estimation is unclear, we just see TBD as the status. I apologize for any inconvenience caused with these being temporarily out of stock."

I recieved the same estimates like everyone else. Originally it was end of April and then beginning of May. Looks like US has no idea when they will be back in stock now.  :'(

I think I'm going to contact US and see if I can just pay separate shipping on the 2 Consular pommels.  Those, I can wait for, but the stuff that they're holding up is critical for my summer DIY builds.


Any single saber, which is backordered, I can wait patiently for.  It's galling, though, when backordered stuff is holding back in-stock stuff, and stuff that I need to make use of components I already have on hand.

I would guess that US will be just as happy to have the partial order out the door, rather than sitting, taking up space, and waiting for out-of-stock items that are meant to ship with it.

Definitely (I'm)patiently waiting. My first saber should be arriving anywhere between today and the end of the day tomorrow. I do know that it is a Dominix v4 with all the bells and whistles, Emerald driver and Obsidian v4. The surprise part will be the full size grab bag. That and the fact that I have to wait 19 more days before I'm allowed to have it when my birthday gets here. I'm sure I will have lots of pics to choose from and post after that day gets here.

Still waiting to hear about my Tri-BR Raven ordered in the most recent raffle. Not too impatient about it since I still have my Azure Reaper to play around with, especially with it's shiny new pommel. I plan on adding a black wrap to the Raven to better match the game version, but nothing too fancy in terms of customization for now. We will see if that changes once I receive it  ;)

Looking forward to it though, as I haven't heard anything negative about it. It will go nicely next to my Bellicose as a TFU pair  :)

So my May the 4th order arrived today. I have only seen the box so far. I'm not allowed to open it or even verify what's in there. It is a birthday gift from my mother. I was warned that if I entered into the box there would be a whoopin like I had never experienced before. As my mom is out of town for the next 9 days I had my wife and daughter verify the contents. Oh the sweet torture....hearing my daughter talk about how cool everything was, while I wait behind a closed door. I still have to wait 18 more days until I can actually open my gift and have it in my hands. This is going to take every bit of my Jedi training....patience. The inner Sith wants me to run up, steal it, and lock myself in a room. Lol. Here is all I have until 18 days from now.

Try riding your dad's brand new, 100th anniversary Harley home from the dealership. I was more nervous than the first time I encountered a shark while scuba diving.

For those of you who are still waiting, like me, there is still no real ETA for the Bellicose. 8-15 weeks.

So this is where we go when we're practically about to wet ourselves with excitement.  ;D

Sentinel V4 staff with Consular Green and Sentinel Yellow, heavy grade blades and obsidian lite in both.

My father happens to be a jeweler and so I ordered the adjustable coupler to attach a quick release segment we've designed and are machining. Just in case I want to switch from staff to dual wielding on the fly.

This is my first ever ultra saber too. And after seeing Drahcir's work I'm super excited to customize the look and make it truly mine.

I'm getting a Dark Apprentice v4 with Violet Amethyst blades, Li-ion batteries and charging ports, 24" blades, and a couple of extras to put me over the limit so I could snag a grab bag saber (I had planned on giving it to my big brother as a present, but I guess that depends on whether or not I fall in love with it ;)).

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the grab bag, too. TBH I didn't really look at the standard sabers since I knew I was in the market for a double blade, but now that I have seen how beautiful some of them are I am definitely going to have to get a wish list going.

Tomorrow when I get home from work there will be a Graflex for a friend, an Archon 3.1 for myself, and a grab bag in Fire orange waiting for me. It's funny but I'm most excited about the FO grab bag.  :D

Now I just have to find some decent metallic and black washes to weather the Archon with...

You know how I just got that Dark Apprentice staff? Well, there's an Emerald Dark War Glaive that's soon to be accompanying it. :D

I couldn't pass up the chance at the raffle, and eventually I will be pairing it with a sister saber to make another staff. I may not have the Force on my side in the raffle, but I still have my birthday and Christmas as opportunities later in the year.

Great choice, and the ensuing staff will certainly be something.

Best of luck in the raffle. :)

Can't have a graflex w/out a chosen one to accompany it lol.

Brilliant (or obsessive, depending upon how you want to look at it) minds think alike! :D

I really want a Chosen One at some point (also a Graflex if I'm honest), though I wanted to go for utility for my first sabers since I wouldn't want to throw around and possibly damage either of those.

The Chosen One is brilliant, but it's far from my go to saber for any spinning or dueling. All it's detail make it challenging to wield comfortably or for extended periods. Either way it's totally worth owning.

Am I the only one who obsessively checks the tracking number every 20-30 minute looking for an update?

With all the amazing looking hilts on the US site, I resigned myself to a Grab Bag, just to get a hint of what may lay in wait for my future earnings...

The anticipation is palpable. I feel like a 10 year old kid the day before Christmas with BOTH sets of grandparents in town. I don't know what I'm going to get, but I just KNOW it's going to be amazing.

The worst part is, I now have over a dozen built sabers in my wish list just waiting and a limited stash of cash available to buy a couple, but I don't want to risk ordering a duplicate of what might be in my grab bag...

I'm literally driving myself crazy right now.

Decided I couldn't wait for my grab bag to show up so I placed my order for a Dominix V4 with FOC and an illuminated AV switch.
I'm so impatient, I even opted for 2 day shipping, lol.

Are you me? I've been casting about for a doppelgänger for some time now, so if you're me I have a list of things I need completed by the end of the week.... ;)

That's an awesome 2nd saber purchase! I ordered an Emerald Dark War Glaive about a week after receiving my Dark Initiate staff, and I've been anxiously awaiting its shipping notification ever since. It was poor timing on my part since I ordered in between two conventions and a holiday (not to mention during the raffle), but at least I have my staff to play with in the meantime!

I kind of wish I'd gone with the standard War Glaive now after seeing how rough I am on the anodizing on my Dark Apprentices (plus the high polished silver is just gorgeous), but what's a lightsaber without a few battle scars right?  And eventually, I'll get this one a sister to make another staff.

Possibly a mirror, not necessarily a doppelgänger. Mine's coming in Guardian Blue, and there's the whole XY/XX chromosome thing, lol.

Dang these folks at US are FAST! I placed the order last night and already have tracking!
If all goes well, both my Grab Bag AND my Dominix V4 will arrive on the exact same day! Zero to Two sabers in less than 48 hours!

And now I'm looking for stuff to sell to fund my 3rd (Menace SE  or a Phantasm V4 staff in Consular Green).

Post by: Karmack on June 07, 2016, 05:57:19 PM
LOL  Well, I just placed another order...  I think someone is using Jedi Mind Tricks in association with this raffle!

Order:
PARTS-FBFCWVA   Flush Black Finish Coupler with Vents (Adjustable)
Z-Sound-AAcombo   2x 14500 Li-Ion Battery Holder/Speaker Combo
L-SoundDarkInitiatev4   Dark Initiate v4 with Obsidian Lite Sound
[Blade LED Color:Fire Orange]
[Flash on Clash:No Flash]
[Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration:Standard Setup]
[Blade Option:Mid Grade]
[Blade Size:Standard 32" Blade]
[Windows:Yes Include Windows in Emitter]
[Obsidian Lite Sound:Obsidian Lite Soundboard]
[Pommel:Renegade SE Small Pommel]
[Switch Type:Black Non-Illuminated AV Switch]
[Blade Tip:Round Tip]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks]
[Include Blade Plug:No Thanks]
[Include Saber Stand:No Thanks]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks]
[Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks]


The battery pack is to replace the pack in my Aeon V4 Obs 4/Emerald.  It was used as a movie prop, and the "grip" didn't do his job during a throw simulating the character force-calling the hilt to his hand.  The actor caught it when they threw it to him, the prop guy?  Nah.  Not only did he miss the grab, he fumbled it so the saber hit the hard tiles instead of the soft padding there to catch it if he missed. 

This happened not once.  Not twice.  Not three times.  Four times.
Four.

Ouch.

So I finally found something that will damage an Ultrasaber.  :-/  The speaker broke off the end of the battery case.  I was able to glue it back on with some superglue and everything works, but the impact also muted the speaker.  It makes a slight gurgling sound when you start up and shut down now, and nothing else.

So, a new pack and speaker.  :-)

The rest is to go with another initiate FO hilt I already have to make a staff.  Deep down I'd prefer Sentinel Yellow, but I already have the FO hilt and the color has grown on me a bit.  So...  :)

And who knows?  Maybe I'll win something nice to go with them.  This is my 10th or 11th raffle without any kind of win, so I'm about due...  LOL  :-)

I snagged it in Guardian Blue w/Obsidian LTE, though it was mainly because I wanted something sooner while waiting for the Scorpion.   I've ordered that as Emerald w/Obsidian V4.

..Also ended up buying a Dark Initiate LE v4 with no sound in TRI Blazing Red.

The Manticore is a gorgeous hilt - so is the Scorpion.

Great choices. :)

WOOHOO Dark War Glaive #2 (and the FO grab bag saber for my brother) has had its shipping label printed!  Both shall be in my hands hopefully by Friday.

I've had my winning order rerouted to my office because I didn't want to drive home to grab it before heading to my weekly nerd night.  My coworkers are going to be split between green-eyed envy, and just side-eyeing me and shaking their heads.  :D

Well, I thought that I had remained unscathed by my redirecting my package from my home address to my office, and that it would be delivered today.  However, this morning, the tracking updated and stated it was scheduled for delivery tomorrow instead.

My reaction:

But! That means that both of my raffle orders will be arriving tomorrow (1 at work, 1 at home), so Thursday is gonna be a great mail day.  ;D

I was hoping it would arrive today. My wife is off work so there would be someone at the house all day. Unfortunately tracked says it just landed in Edmonton, so it will be tomorrow at the earliest when no one is home. We don't have a FedEx depot anywhere near here.

Thus the fun part of living in the middle of nowhere.

Oh hey, your saber is in my neck of the woods!  *waves to Scope's saber*

Thus the fun part of living in the middle of nowhere.

If you feel that it would be secure to do so, you can log onto Fedex's site, select to customize your delivery, and print out a shipment release authorization which you sign and tape to your door.  That will allow the carrier to leave the package without your presence being necessary (this is only the case with packages where an indirect signature is required, which is what US packages utilize).  I have also on occasion simply written a note, signed it, and taped it to my door; I've had success with that method as well, but I would presume that the more official document is preferable.

I'll have to look into that. I'm just dreading the delivery because last time our US orders were en route, FedEx was horrible. I was deployed and the wife was the only one home. She informed them of this and they insisted on trying to deliver while she was working. They "threatened" to return the package at our expense and lied saying they delivered at certain times she WAS home and no showing.

I called them yesterday to pay the extra duty fees and asked them about this and she assured me they'd work around our schedule. If nothing else, I work 5 mins from home so I can leave a note on the door with instructions to call me for pick up.


Now that all being said, I just checked the tracking and it says tomorrow by 0915. I believe Jenn starts work by noon, so I may be in luck.

What I don't understand is why FedEx has simply dropped off my sabers (I've had three separate orders) without a signature, note, or anything. I even looked at the information on the shipments and it says specifically that a signature is required. Maybe my FedEx peeps here are just lazy :P It does irk me though as having a $300+ saber sitting on my porch all day is not the best of situations.

At least (from what I've seen in unboxing videos) they use a long, brown, nondescript package.

I'd much rather have that sitting at my front door over something like a printer ordered from Newegg/Tigerdirect/etc. where they just slap the shipping label on the box it came in.  :P

It was my Manticore, but...    well, there are some issues.

1) When activated about 8 times out of 10 the saber will perform a flash on clash within a second of being lit, for no real discernable reason.   Fire up, flash, then proceed as normal.  It doesn't happen when the blade is out.

2) I learned that this thing doesn't like Energizer MAX AAA batteries, as when I replaced them the saber would flicker for a second before restarting with the "Obsidian" sound, and one time it actually glitched out where the sound shut off and it was stuck in pink.  I swapped the originals back in.

1) Are you moving the saber at all when turning it on? If you activate it while performing a flourish, the movement will be detected and perform the appropriate sound effect/light display.

2)Meh. I personally prefer Duracells.

Nope, it's completely stationary.  But US replied and indicated that it sounds like a motion sensor issue and gave me the return form, so I'll be sending it back for repair tomorrow.

I have my suspicions about what Project:  BOOYA! is.  It'll be interesting to see if I'm way off, or not.

In the meantime, the wait for the main component of Project:  Chimera, and much needed smaller components of Project:  Havoc are still backordered.  And I probably won't have the cash to buy the parts I need for Project:  Hauck until the first, if then.  Blast it, Biggs, where are you?

Edit:  Package showed up.  So, one 36" blade, three MLS units, 4 pairs of Li-ion batteries, a speaker/battery pack, Obsidian V4 board, and wired buckpuck, and the day's looking up.  Even more importantly, I think it's slowly getting cooler in the upstairs part of the house.

Well, while I'm waiting on the parts I need for Project:  Chimera and Project:  Havoc, I at least confirmed that my schematics are correct via connecting all the parts with a breadboard.  So, yay, it works.  Project:  Hauke has slightly more complicated wiring, but the general principles should be sound, I just need to do that "machining".  In this case, with a file and a step drill bit.  And hope that the wires will clear and route correctly.

The two sabers I sent in for upgrade to sound are on their way back after less than a week.  Should arrive on Thursday, 8 days after I sent them in.  Should be coming with a free Initiate that I might need to send back later for upgrading as well.

Let us know how that process went and what it cost you (if you don't mind) when it arrives.  I couldn't bring myself to spend the extra $100 this time but might upgrade in the future.

Not cool!  I've had that happen to me before too.  I've also had my local mail man decided not to deliver packages at all some days.

Still waiting for my first saber....  The estimated time they game me this morning was between 2:10pm and 7:10pm.  As of this post, there is still an hour and 19 minutes left in that window.  Its worse than waiting for the cable guy!  lol

The two upgraded sabers arrived with a third free one (no blade).

Both of the older ones were v4 line (Initiate LE and Dark Apprentice LE) grab bags.   The upgrade with shipping cost $675 for the pair (I had hoped the previous sale would cut some of the cost, but it was for new sabers, not upgrades to existing sabers)  The free blade plug and Initiate offers worked though.

The upgrades for both were:
Upgrade to Premium sound (+ Obsidian v4 upgrade)
Upgrade to Li-Ion batteries (required for Premium sound)
Replaced pommels with Shock pommels.
Added Flash on Clash
Added recharge port with 1.2A chargers
New non-illuminated AV switch on Dark Apprentice only (the Initiate come with one as a grab bag)


As grab bags I had added Covertech wheels and heavy blades.

The free Initiate was a v2 model.  So I won't send it back for an upgrade (can't upgrade the v2 for sound)  I will need to order a short blade later.

Still waiting for the Dark Prophecy I order with Obsidian LITE (Not seen one yet in person)

That's a good order. Just so you know, some people had to wait more than the 15 week quote time for some of their sabers that were on back order. I'm not saying that will happen to you, but I just want you to understand it is a possibility.

Is what it is at this point. I understand that these aren't mass produced. I was very satisfied with my first purchase (Dark Initiate V4 with sound (Emerald). I sent them a email last night and  they told me expected to be ready by mid-August, not to bad.

Post by: ithekro on July 11, 2016, 06:27:55 AM
While waiting for the Dark Prophecy to be made and shipped I have done something rash (not really)

I ordered two Emerald sabers for a husband and wife.  With 10% off sale that cut off over $100 USD.  And I could still get the free full sized grab bag which will be for their oldest son.  I might use all my accumulated reward points later to have it upgraded for sound.  Assuming I can that is.  After that, unless Ultrasabers comes out with something really neat (or I find someone else to give a saber gift) I should be done purchases for a long while.

I also bought an initiate blade for the previous sale's free initiate since the v2 I got didn't come with one (which is understandable considering I was only having upgrades done and sent everything is a small box).  I cannot upgrade that saber with sound unless Ultrasabers comes up with a way to make their sound systems smaller for the old v2 line.

The two purchased Emerald sabers are the following:

Renegade with Sound (Emerald)
[Main Blade LED Color:Blazing Red for Emerald]
[Left Blade LED Color:Adegan Silver + Color Discs]
[Right Blade LED Color:Adegan Silver + Color Discs]
[Left/Right Blade Channel:Channel 4 (Dedicated to AV Switch) [Recommended]]
[Main Blade Type:36" Midgrade]
[Left Blade Type:6" Midgrade]
[Right Blade Type:6" Midgrade]
[Emerald Driver Configuration:4 Channel Emerald Driver - RGBW LED]
[Flash on Clash:Flash Bane's Heart for Emerald]
[Pulse Mode:Pulse to Red]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup for Emerald (Batteries & XTAR VC2 Plus Charger Included) [Summer Sales Strike Back]]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Sound:Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]]
[Switch Type:Silver Non-Illuminated AV Switch]
[AV Switch Channel:Channel 4 (Dedicated to AV Switch) [Recommended]]
[Blade Tip:Round Tips on all blades]
[Renegade Claw Finish:Black]
[Renegade Pommel Size:Large]
[Ship Renegade Assembled?:No, Ship Disassembled]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!]
[Include Blade Plug:No Thanks]
[Include Saber Stand:No Thanks]
[Include MINI USB Cable:Yes]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks]
[Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks]


The Graflex SE with Sound (Emerald)
[Blade LED Color:Arctic Blue for Emerald]
[Emerald Driver Configuration:4 Channel Emerald Driver - RGBW LED]
[Flash on Clash:Flash Silver for Emerald]
[Pulse Mode:Pulse Off]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup for Emerald (Batteries & XTAR VC2 Plus Charger Included) [Summer Sales Strike Back]]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Blade Length:32" Length]
[Blade Option:UltraEdge Midgrade]
[Sound:Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]]
[Switch Type:Silver Non-Illuminated AV Switch]
[AV Switch Channel:Channel 4 (Dedicated to AV Switch) [Recommended]]
[Front Button Color:Chrome]
[Rear Button Color:Red]
[Blade Set Screw Type:Button]
[Blade Tip:Round Tip]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!]
[Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Circle Plug]
[Include Saber Stand:No Thanks]
[Include MINI USB Cable:Yes]
[Include Covertec Clip:Yes!]

The Renegade is for the husband.  I think the setup will work for the pulses and I can set it up to look red with the color discs, and it will allow him to change colors later to match the discs or whatever.  I think that is the one he liked.  He'll likely only have it at home.  I might try to preset a Kylo Ren font on his Obsidian v4 in the months before I give it to him.   He's technical and likes gadgets so he might like playing with the colors and sounds.  I considered getting a red illuminated AV switch, but really didn't want to have to think about how that would work with the side blades and the pulse modes.

The Graflex is for his wife so she can be the hero.  She's also a teacher so I figured she might want to wear to sometimes.  I was originally just going to get her a single color saber with FoC, but the pulse mode appeals to me, and she might want to change the color to reflect her moods.

Time for me to chime in with lessons learned from the original Emerald/AS/AS crossguard.

Get a LEE filter swatch book.  There are several red filters which give very good matches to the BR LED color, I usually favor LEE Bright Red, but I've found that red is a darn easy match with three or four of the filters, unlike some other colors.  Remember, and you seem to have realized it, that rather than trying to match the main blade by swapping filters until he hits the right one, he should find filter colors he likes and try to match the main blade to the filter.

Some filter colors are just not going to be able to be matched.  That's just how it is.

Don't forget that you can vary the brightness of the side blades with the pulse/flicker settings, my personal method for three pulsing BR blades goes like this:

Man, that really sucks.  I'm still waiting on the parts to be in stock to ship, to build up Project:  Chimera and Project:  Havoc.  Having built a test DIY saber, and having thereby confirmed that my wire diagrams are correct, I'm building the electronics packs so that it'll be nice and quick when those parts do turn up.

In the meantime, the modifications to aluminum parts for Project:  Hauke have been done for a bit, as soon as I get the resistors and solder sleeves I ordered, I'll fully assemble that one, too.  Hopefully that'll be quick, Cincinnati isn't all that far for a small package to go.

Hope Project:  BOOYA! gets back on track soon.

Unfortunately the Shock LE pommel was out of stock.  I was going to use it on the Initiate LE v4 as the gold bands match, but the standard Shock pommel works as well.

Is there anyway you can have it delivered to your work. Then you can retrieve it on a break, and you know someone was there to sign for it.

I get all my cool stuff sent to the office, but that's mostly so I don't have to wait to get home to play with it. ;D ;D ;D

Blast.  Just checked to see if there was tracking on my order from an electronics seller (resistors and solder sleeves) so I can finish a DIY, and while I'd hoped to be able to show it off by this weekend, the package isn't going to arrive until Monday.

Yeah, it was nice. I came into these things right before the madness hit, and there were still loads of hilts in stock.

The sales and raffles are really nice, but they're adding to the problem. I think it'd make more business sense to get the back orders out, restock the inventory, and then so more promos. Otherwise, they may start to lose their edge over the competition in the realm of quick delivery times, and that's something that US prides itself in.

But, it's not my company, so it's not my call.

Oh Yes, I remember Darth Logos!  Just over a year back every saber hilt was available for purchase.  The Bane was not really in circulation but when the madness started I recall being irritated that the Consular and the Raven had long re-stock windows.  Boom... then the new movie came out and nearly all sweet premium hilts go out and now even our beloved Aeon, Dominix, Standard Issue hilts are affected.  *Sigh*

Alas - patience will prevail!

Arrgh.  Waiting on stuff to finish up some DIY builds, and a new project is already forming in my mind.  Project:  Carnifex is shaping up nicely on the mental drawing board, but I can't order the bits for it yet!  And I'm already planning on a light side equivalent to Project:  Hauke.

That might be more on the fault of the metal supplier. Considering how much US discourages customization of part beyond the addition of a Covertec, it tells me that all of their machining is done out of house. So if poop goes down there, it is beyond US' control.

I'm talking like 2 years ago when I first started buying. NOTHING was out of stock. Depending on location, you could order and have any saber within your hand in a week. I've even had times when I'd order in the morning, and have a tracking number before I left work. ;D ;D ;D So awesome.

But they are making significant progress toward getting back to where they were.

That is definitely a possibility. Either way, there is a supply and demand issue, and the promos only drive up the demand and reduce the supply, and right now they're not able to keep up. Like you said in a later post, they are catching up, and I'm confident they will catch up, but suspending the promos would slow the demand, which would allow them to catch up faster. Even if they're having issues with their fabricators/suppliers.

Congrats on the fist purchase, Metal. I'm assuming you have a Ninja to ride? If so, make sure you post some pics of that green saber next to that green bike.

If not, a picture of just the saber will do fine.  ;)

I have a feeling now might be a good time for a grabbag if you're unsure of which saber you want.  I received my first US lightsaber about two weeks ago.  Orginally I was going to just order a grab back, but then I HAD to have a Prophecy.  I know you are going to love yours when it arrives!

My smallest son's birthday is on Friday. I was kinda hoping his surprise saber would come by then, but I went back and forth too much that I barely ordered it last Friday. I think his would've shipped by now, but my older son ordered a Raven, which I'm guessing might take longer to fabricate. Either way, he'll be stunned to see it. And when my wife accidentally opens my credit card bill, she'll be stunned as well. Only one who won't be stunned is me, when my wife gives me the silent treatment, and I won't be stunned when one of the boys ends up with a booboo from some rough saber battles.

I hope she's right.

Nice! I had the form out for the last delivery. Didn't need it though, since I was home, but I mentioned in another thread some time back that the FedEx guy already had the "Sorry we missed you" slip on the box. Fools!

Just ordered my...

shell, 6th saber since november (i have a problem I need to stop)

I ordered a Dark Menace with the Obsidian V4, QDs, and a TRI-Red LED.  I definitely needed something more darkside to go with the Dark Jedi costume I threw together, and I needed something with sound.

And yes, I do plan on getting another Dark Menace later on to make a staff - this time with a TRI Blue LED~

And hell, eventually I want to get an Azure/Crimson Menace Stunt emerald staff...

Can you tell I like Menace variants?

The Renegade and Graflex arrived with a free grab bag, a Dominix v2 (no upgrading I guess)  These go with the free Initiate I got last time, which I get a short blade for in this order.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/ithekro/DSCN4217_zpsu5lzbntf.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/ithekro/media/DSCN4217_zpsu5lzbntf.jpg.html)

The Graflex is in Arctic Blue but is an Emerald saber.

The Renegade is in Blazing Red with White crossguards for later use of filters that will them be matched with the Emerald driver main blade.

The Dominix v2 came in Blazing Red while the smaller Initiate v2 came in Arctic Blue.

I have all eight sabers I purchases here still, with the ninth (Dark Prophecy) still on backorder.  Two (the Initiate LE v4 and Dark Apprentice LE v4) will be going to their owners this weekend, so this will be the only time these eight sabers will be together.

The Archon and Apprentice v4 are Emeralds and will stay here.  The v3 emitter for the Archon is still on my desk.

I've been waiting to see if the rumors of a Tano hilt are to be proven. Nothing thus far.

However, something has been added to the single-blade menu, but I can't put my finger on it. The Flam CE used to reside in the bottom most right slot. It has recently been bumped into a new row. This or 3 things have been removed.

It's the Renegade LE that's holding your order up.  I'm in the same boat.  Other versions of the Renegade are shipping because those versions are in stock.  The other guy ordered one of those other versions, that's why his shipped.

As grab bags go, I would assume this is pretty awesome value. I got a Dominix LE V4, worth as much as the whole package, sweeeet. Seems odd as it has a Consular Green led but it is a grab bag. Love it :)

The 2 I just ordered for my sons are already on their way now. Damn, Ultrasabers know how to treat customers well, just amazing.

I'm impatiently waiting for our latest and last lightsaber order for a long time. We  decided that the SUmmer Savings deal was too good to pass up and ordered a Graflex SE with Obsidian Lite in Artic Blue with silver FOC  and non illuminated silver AV switch for me; and a Chosen One CE in Blazing Red with Obsidian v4 sound, and a red AV switch for my girlfriend. Placed the order Monday night, and it's supposed to be here tomorrow morning. Adding to the Suspense and anticipation is the grab bag saber offer that we took advantage of.

I'm going to have to find a different way to note what sabers I have in my signature line, I'm running out of characters.  Just the DIY projects I'm working on will exhaust the sig line and then some, even if I didn't buy any more sabers (which, we all know, I will).

Impatiently awaiting the US release of the Tano hilt for two reasons.

1) So it'll be one more saber that I currently can't afford.

2) So that the topic finally disappears from the Suggestion Box thread. >:D

But then people will just start asking for her Shoto.  The smartest thing US could do here would be to offer it in two versions, one slightly shorter and without the tabs/flanges at the emitter end.

Something like that.  I'm pretty sure they could make the shorter one available with all the features, while still keeping it short.

Hey gang, it's been a while.
 I haven't been doing much teching so I haven't had much to post therefore I've been a little absent. I have been using my sabers pretty often and they are all still holding up great. I may be looking at some new blades soon. I'm trying to break them. I'll get some pictures of my well loved sabers as they are in the near future. (In case someone wants to see some sabers that get some good use. I'll show off some of the scarring. Scars build character.)

Anyway. I ordered and Initiate V4 Stunt, CG., 24" HVY for a nephew's birthday. I had $70 in rewards points so I went and got the windowed emitter and I got a vented pommel in case he wants to add sound later. (That'll have to be on his parents dime.) Ordered 8/10 marked as shipped today (8/12).

I'll get some pics of it when it comes in. His bday is 9/11 so I'll be hiding it for the next few weeks.

Just wanted to shout out the the US crew and forums. A lot of great folks here.  Ultra sabers are awesome and they take a beating. 

So.... A little off subject and I'll confess to not searching but, any word on new designs?

I *think* that it varies. Going from memory (and it may have been you!) someone I spoke to about this before had one go via Germany, but a later purchase went straight to Spain.

As for mine, I have an Overlord with a spare Archon pommel + my prize coming in at 4 pounds. How accurate the weighing is, I don't know. I've only once had it in anything but whole pounds, so presumably they mostly round up/down.

Looking back through previous orders:

Bane + Dark Initiate = 3lbs
Dark Prophecy + Prophecy = 3lbs
Menace = 2lbs
Aeon RGB + coupler = 1.7lbs
Sentinel + Aeon v2 = 4lbs

So, you may have one of the heavier hilts. I doubt your Prophecy weighs very much more than a Dark Initiate, for example, so it may not be a Bane in there (but do get one if you can, they're awesome!)

We did speak about this, and mine went to the UPS central facilities in Europe, and that is in Germany. But since is FedEx now, it might be diferent ...thats why I asked.

My first order was a Sentinel with a stand and bladeplug, and it weighed 3lb ( the same as a Bane + an initiate??), I imagined that the Bane was heavier than a Sentinel...but as you said maybe the weighing might not be very accurate... So it could be any saber from médium to heavy weight...lets bet some money...kidding...haha

Thank's a lot for your answer with all this great info, I apreciate it very much, thank you. I hope you get a saber you like...MTFBWY

A dark side Rey sounds awesome! Rey strikes me as a Sith who would weild a simple saber, considering her weapon of choice was the staff before having Luke's saber. In my opinion, the Arbitor, Manticore, or the Shock would make perfect "Dark Side" Rey sabers :)

Exactly, how many extensions would you think I'd need?

Exactly, how many extensions would you think I'd need?

Depends on her height.  I just stuck a single extension between the hilts of my Dark Apprentice V4 staff (so, two saber hilts, two couplers, one extension) and it came in at 37.5" from emitter to emitter.  But the Dominix hilts are longer than the Apprentice V4s, enough that, at 5'9", a staff set up with one extension, two couplers and Dominixes instead of Apprentices would come right in at the proportions of the staff in the picture, hilt to hilt from about the knee to mouth level.  But I think that two extensions is just waaaay too long.

Blades, probably 16" ought to do just right for the effect in that picture.

The plans a set of dominix hilts with pike extensions that's got really small blades.


Oooooooo that actually sounds pretty cool!

Usually, for me, if my package comes in early enough in the day, it'll be placed on the truck and will be delivered the same day. But more times than not it's usually the next day

Well...the tracking note was at 12:45h p.m... So I don't know if that would be early enough... In my first purchase with UPS, it arrived the Canarys in the morning and they brought it to me At 7 or 8 p.m...thanks for your opinion... Point.

Thank you!  I wasn't actually imitating that photo, I just drew it up and imagined the weapon having an extra extension and 8 inch blades on the ends.  I honestly think 1 extension and 16 blades may look better.

I'm patiently waiting for my first lightsaber. Or in this case, more than one  ;)

It's been 13 days since I received my raffle entry order confirmation and 6 days since I received the Emerald prize notification email. I replied with my selection, but I haven't heard anything since. It feels like an eternity!  :D

I wasn't even sure which hilts I was supposed to choose from. Now I wonder what others would've chosen....

What two sabers have you selected? Be patient, as soon as they send them, they will get to you in a few days.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Vital-Blurs on August 24, 2016, 02:35:02 PM
Yeah, I'm trying my best to be patient and I think I'm doing fairly well. They're going to have to travel all the way to Australia yet, so it'll take even longer :D

I replied to the prize notification email with some questions about which hilts are actually able to use the special coupler (but I didn't hear back). So I replied again the next day (20th) selecting a Dark Sentinel and another Dominix V4 to match my entry saber. That'll be the one I'd like to try double-bladed.

A key part of that prize description though, was 'any two single colour sabers'. That rules out anything LE and most of the movie inspired ones, doesn't it?

I understand they went to a convention over the weekend and couple that with all of the orders that were waiting to be sent out, I've no doubt that they're extremely busy still  :)

I'm pretty sure single color means single color as in LED... As opposed to receiving 2 emerald sabers.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Vital-Blurs on August 24, 2016, 02:46:48 PM
But it was the Emerald prize, so I figured the 'single colour' can't be referring to the LED.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Racona Nova on August 24, 2016, 03:05:15 PM
No, it always refers to the LED colour and the kind of the saber. As you will know, you can choose between Emerald sabers, RGB sabers and "single colour" sabers. "single colour" normally rules out the Emerald and RGB sabers. However, since you were awarded the Emerald Prize, you actually can ignore that restriction. I think it's because the text is pre-written and only the name and email address are added manually. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense...

As for the hilt type - you can choose between any of the models that can be equipped with Emerald. If you also want sound in it, this rules out some more of the models (for example the Aeon/Dominix/Initiate v3 series and the Prophecies).

Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Vital-Blurs on August 24, 2016, 03:31:47 PM
See, this is why I replied asking for some clarification on what hilts I can choose from  :)

But it's ok though, the only hilt from the really expensive end of the range that I like the look of more than the Dominix and Sentinel, was the Archon 2.1.....but that one wasn't going to be back in stock for a long time.

No real regrets here, I just went with the ones I liked and ignored the price tag. Maybe later on I'll get an Archon 2.1.

I've always had that same doubt when I read the descripción of the emerald prize...any way, I think you chose the best sabers in terms of wielding and handling for spins and dueling. I have a Sentinel v4 and a Guardian, and the Sentinel is still my favourite saber...congrats.

Hi Arobb.  Nice avatar.  Please make sure to post photos of your Catalyst in SY.  I noticed that in spite of your request for light side points and the beautiful blue saber, that you have collected 6 dark side points.  Am asking the other members to help me change these to light side.   :)

All the parts for making Rey my dark apprentice have arrived!  Good call on the sizing.  An extra extension would've been overkill.  This sits at just under 6ft tall with 16 inch blades.  I think it sells the idea of Rey's staff as a saber.

About 2 hours ago my new sabers came in... been busy playing with the sound and light settings. And listening to the sweet humming noise they make while swinging them.

I got a little bonus from work so I'm finishing my Consular staff. I also ordered an Initiatev4LE in DVA for my niece who just started Kindergarten and all the 'cool' kids had lightsabers, I was planning on getting at for her as a present for graduating her first year of school, I figure she's a cool kid and should get it sooner, Christmas to be exact. Her sister will get one when she turns 5, my parents got me my first lightsaber when I was 5, it's a good age IMO xD

I also get some other goodies with those promo codes! :D

Congratulations Iram. I hope the grab bag goes to your liking, which I'm sure it will  :)

Just ordered my second saber. I am patiently waiting for....

A Dark Arbiter in Tri Blazing Red. Obsidian Lite sound. Red illuminated, silver av switch. 36" midgrade blade.

To quote the Pointer Sisters... I'm so excited!

I'm not patiently waiting for anything. I am impatiently waiting for a Flamberge I ordered for my Son for his 12th birthday. He's a Kylo Ren nut. Loves his Kylo costume. Can't wait to see his face when he gets a Flamberge on his birthday! Oh, I ordered some grab bags to give out this holiday season. My first order with US I ordered seven sabers, kept one for myself. This is my second order. I ordered six sabers, keeping none for myself. (I might play with the Flamerge when he's not looking). What the hell is wrong with me? I'm addicted to giving other people lightsabers. Just don't touch my Prophecy or there will be trouble....

Both my orders were over the weekend. Both of them I hit the 'follow up' button. And the confirm arrival email ended up getting to me at least 2 days before the packages. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Hi Forum Members - I was just curious how many people are still waiting on orders to be fulfilled/shipped that have been waiting for some time?  I inquired about availability for an Azure Reaper ages back and US said 7-15 weeks. 8 weeks downstream I put in my order thinking the timing might be a good window and I've waited another 9 weeks since July now.  Has anyone been in similar situations? 

Are there service fees to changing an order or even canceling all together?  I read the dIsclaimer but was just wondering if other buyers had any thoughts to chime in with?

Txs!  K

There's so many pages I doubt anyone will see this, but I suppose this page is about venting our excitement of our incoming sabers so who cares? I'm waiting for my Phantom Initiate v2 staff to come in! My best friend and I pitched in to both get a saber from one order, so he gets one saber and I got the other with the coupler. We ordered the staff and a 16" blade and split the price 1/3-2/3 since I'm technically paying for the second saber, coupler, and 16" blade.

My saber is in Sentinel Yellow and his is in Pyrestone Orange. Yes, they are both "super kinda not so secret forum colors," but they look good.

The best about the Arbiter is the width, it's only 1,45" wide, just like the v4 models and prophecy on their widest point...that makes for a perfect handling. A Scorpion has to be over 1,5" at its widest part.

My Dark Sentinel LE is in the mail now. Based on normal mailing times I expect it to arrive tomorrow or Thursday. I see they use Signature Confirmation, so it might be Friday before I can pick it up at the Post Office since we are never here when the mail runs.

Yeah, I want to see those quick disconnect couplers. I expect I will get at least one of those to make a Double Blade Saber sometime.

They're on the parts page, designed for saber pikes. My plan is to put it on my initiate, put the 24 inch initiate blade on my aeon v2, and join the two together to make an asymmetric double bladed saber.

One minor problem exists that is driving me crazy. My plan all along has been to have this finished in time for Halloween.... but I'm missing my emitter... the Dark War Glaive emitter with Silver claws. Out of Stock. Still. GAH!!!!!!!

I have a spare emitter I can put on there so it is usable, but without the War Glaive emitter it will look entirely wrong!

Please, Please, US.... get this back in stock in time?  :-[

I may have been spoilt with my first 3 sabers, they arrived within the week from placing my orders, this one is still in the states a week later. It wasn't on the 'out of stock' list, so maybe they're just snowed under with orders?

Sometimes it does take a while for an order to be filled.  Some members have waited months, in fact.  All depends on the order.

Scratch that, looks like I'll get it today. Took 4 days to post, 3 days to leave the US &; it's already in transit here in Oz. FedEx don't screw around.

I wasn't bothered if it was late, the service is still amazing.

I want that new coupler and some 24 inch blades for my staff.  But for the price of blades and a coupler I could get a new staff for about $40 more.  I've been wanting a set of v3 initiates to practice dual weild for a long time now.  Decisions!

So I got my first Saber Thursday. Only took a week for delivery. My daughter wants this one, so I expect I will let her have it and get a couple more light side looking sabers (cuz I am a good guy). Maybe get one with sound. I like to dual wield, so I think I will get a couple shorter hilts for single hand and maybe have a 24" blade in my left and a 32" in my right. I like the look of this style hilt and the Apprentice is similar and shorter. This long hilt with a 36" blade is heavy and slow for how I like to battle.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Rapine on September 18, 2016, 03:56:41 PM
Hey Pantherdan.

I have to fully recommend sound.  It's awesomeness times a billion!

Also, I must say that the Prophecy is an extremely comfortable hilt to hold and wield with one hand.  (just sayin')

The Sentinels are amazing as well, but they are a much longer hilt.

Way to go with yours there.  Looks schmexy!  :o

So I got my first Saber Thursday. Only took a week for delivery. My daughter wants this one, so I expect I will let her have it and get a couple more light side looking sabers (cuz I am a good guy). Maybe get one with sound. I like to dual wield, so I think I will get a couple shorter hilts for single hand and maybe have a 24" blade in my left and a 32" in my right. I like the look of this style hilt and the Apprentice is similar and shorter. This long hilt with a 36" blade is heavy and slow for how I like to battle.

That dark sentinel looks great in blue, +1

I agree this looks beautiful . . . love the windowed emitter and silver switch.  I think you're onto something duel wielding with a 32" and 24" blade it should make for a deadly combo.  Point for the nice picture!

Well with the Fall Sale and all I just ordered an Emerald Overlord, Manticore pommel, Archon emitter, and a Silver Grab Bag. Which means a second Grab bag too! This really really must be the end of this years saber spending, but at least going out with a bang. The Overlord is in DVA, with VA pulse, BH flash, and a recharge port. The best part is that next week I'm on vacation so if they arrive I can spend ludicrous amount of time with them.

Well, after my splurging on sabers earlier in the year (and now having more sabers than I do hands to hold them), I haven't been able to justify much in the way of new purchases... until I saw the announcement for the quick disconnect coupler!  I've been working with some friends to try to make one myself, but bolted to the website as fast as my little fingers would take me to order one of US's (which looks to be pretty dang ingenious). 

I am excite.

Corey was nice enough to email me back on a SAT confirming that the standard / silver Warglaive also has a NOV 2016 restock date.

It is nice to see more hilts coming back as available on the website be by be prob just in time for the next movie coming out in DEC.

Agreed.

And the same goes for the costume, or the boots, or the new pommel, or any of the other accessories. And yes, a full costume is an accessory to a lightsaber. I don't think I need to explain why that's true.

You shipped it on 10-7.
They got it on 10-12.
Five days.
It's now 10-17.
Five days.

They would have had to process it, disassemble it, do the work, and ship it out the same day just to get it to you today.

I think you should give them a few days before you think about ordering a new saber. Unless, of course, you want to have another saber in addition to your Consular.

I saw your Consular video, and I know you were extatic about it, so I understand the anxiousness, but give it time. You have two full weeks before Halloween. You'll be fine.

Week's already half over. Besides this project began with the order from US back in April. I'm not sweating a few days.

Then you're a better man than I.. Waiting forever for something to ship sucks, but I swear, no wait seems longer than from shipping to arrival. Heres to a joyous weekend for you man!

I feel your irritated simmering anger ... now our Logos is getting back on track.  ;)  :P

Too happy to  be angry, but I wouldn't recommend finding the tipping point. I've been told I can flip with the speed of bipolar disorder. :):

I haven't either, it's just what they say in the movie.

I remember tripping balls in high school, some 15 odd years ago. It's just more than tripping. Like under heavy influence of drogas. I've only been tripping balls twice in my life. One I barely remember, and the other I only know cuz I watched playback of the video..... GOOD TIMES!🙌

I knew, back during the summer, that I ought to have done all the wiring and had the electronics just ready to drop into these projects.

Oh, well, pictures Friday at the latest.  So far, everything's just mocked up and ready for that step.

But I can say that, as the name implies, Chimera is an absolute beast of a saber, even moreso than I expected.  17.5" from pommel to emitter.  Muhuhahahahaha!

I think it's kind of funny that both Logos and I conceived our imminent projects at around the same time, both ran into unforeseen, and quite extended, delays, and yet both of us will have our completed projects to show off at around the same time.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this, but I was in contact with Linda about that and they said they sometimes hold orders that quality for the raffle. So that might be what it is.

I got my order I purchased on 10/31 on 11/5, so I was wondering why it hadn't shipped by yesterday.

You can say it; it's not a secret. If the order qualifies for the raffle, and you win, you will get your order and your prize shipped at the same time. It helps save on shipping costs.

More often than not - that's actually the policy.

See this note from the official rules in the announcement:


"Prizes will be shipped to the same shipping address on the order # with the winning raffle ticket.  If the winning order is on BACKORDER then that will also delay the shipping of the prize."

Well, that is pretty nice of them. It doesn't work perfectly for my situation as I was going to give one of those sabers to my girlfriend for her birthday, but it would arrive too late for that if it won't ship until after the 19th or 20th at the earliest. I guess I'll have to find something else for her birthday and use this for her Christmas present instead.

The review may have to wait a bit.  The wife told me to order it then quickly stated "Merry Christmas! You can't open it till then. "  I will try to convince her to let me do a review before then.  Cant wait though...its killing me and I just ordered them.

My Fulcrum and 1st place prize come out to 6 pounds, too.  I can well imagine that the Fulcrum is significantly bigger/heavier than a Standard Issue or Sentinel, but it still bodes well for my prize.   ;D

I hope you get something awesome for your first sound saber.

The Lost Grey is for me, and the Sentinel is for hubby. He has no idea what's coming. I told him I wanted to surprise him. So he know's he's getting a saber, but that's it. This ought to be fun! It will be our first sound saber in the family.  ;D

FedEx has bumped up my expected delivery to Tuesday.   ;D  Good confidence that it will be so, my two packages are in Phoenix today, so just s short trip up to Vegas and on the truck tomorrow morning.  I have to remember to post the releases for them to leave them at the front door before I head out to class tomorrow.

Right on, Shade! Glad to hear it. My delivery date got bumped up too... so it should be here today! I'm super excited!

Whatever. I'm still waiting for a damn tracking number. Email says my order's shipped, but that was last week. How long does it take?

It's a surprise, Logos :)

*

My order is sat at Stansted, which should mean it'll arrive tomorrow... but there was one time it was held over for an extra day, I'm assuming because it didn't get to the front of the queue in time.

While FedEx tend to be pretty good at updating their tracking between US and Stansted, they're pretty slow about updating it between there and my house, so I likely won't know until mid-morning if it's out for delivery. I shall be chewing my nails all morning, I suspect...

CHA! Who isn't??!!  lol

Selling cookies isn't a horrible idea, but there's a great deal of hoops to jump through...licencing, packaging, logistics...  Plus it's a tad bit physical.  I'm more desk-bound now. :)

I'd happily do some sort of editing or proof reading, but lack the credentials.

Anyway, back to sabers. :)

UK, but we utilize a military mailing address, so it stays within the USPS system.

But at the same time, shipping even within USPS can be so slow sometimes, so I might need to shift expectations to the week afterwards... :-\

Should have put money on it.  Tracking via Etsy shows my costume bits arrived this afternoon at the main mail facility, and went out to the local post office...but, of course, that's where my package will sit until after the holiday.

Also changing out the AV switch to a white illuminated black AV switch with a silver bezel. Ordered over last weekend and now have lost the concept of time so keep thinking it's been oh so long when it's only been 3 days since US was, deservedly so, gone all weekend for Thanksgiving.

The last couple orders that I have had on 2 day said the expected day was Tuesday, but ended up getting here on Monday and being updated when they got on the truck. There were updates before then, but it kept saying Tuesday until they were put on the truck then it said expected Monday.

I ordered them on Friday.

No. Car trouble, something like a flat tire, would be way more believable in that situation. Geez, didn't any of you cut any classes growing up?  ;)

Enjoy that new saber, JJ, and remember: pictures or it didn't happen.  :)

Yeah, but that might require a doctor's note.

The flat tire can't be fixed if the spare is also flat. Or if the jack broke. Or if the road wasn't safe enough to change it. And, if anyone really wants to push it, a pocket knife proves your story. It's a small price to pay for getting extra time with a new saber.

So... been very impressed by the Arbiter lately, love that "grenade" knurled grip at the top of the hilt, the dimensions on it, the options/potential for customization... plus, I know it's a really long hilt and surprisingly that now appeals to me from the videos/pictures I've seen lately describing how comfortable this thing is..................

(https://media.giphy.com/media/nXU1FF5HS2eFG/giphy.gif)

sooooooo....... I pulled the trigger and ordered an Arbiter, which is now on the Daily Deal for $20 plus the 15% Christmas discount... of course, won't get here til next week, and I am OK "patiently" waiting for it  :D - late Christmas/New Years present to myself, and I'm really excited.  Here are the specs I chose:

Arbiter with Obsidian Premium Sound
[Blade LED Color:TRI Fire Orange]
[Flash on Clash:No Flash]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries Included *ONLY*)]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Blade Length:32" Length]
[Blade Option:Heavy Grade]
[Quick Disconnect:Sure, Add Them!]
[Sound:Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]]
[Switch Type:Blue Illuminated Silver AV Switch] with Black Bezel
[Blade Tip:Round Tip]
[Install Covertec Wheel:Yes ($10 install + $4 covertec)] Silver mounted on right near pommel

Also looking forward to the TRI Fire Orange with this silver hilt - should look pretty good I think.

Thanks for the input, TR. Definitely gonna do a review with my impressions of it and probably compare it to at least the Emerald version of FO as well as some comparisons with the other sabers in my collection.

Ooooo...a RGB Manticore. Very nice! I don't think I haven't seen too many of those around here.

Just a question, and you don't have to answer if you don't want, but why RGB and not emerald or quick disconnects?

Been patiently waiting since the middle of November for my Renegade LE (red) with LITE sound - apparently I'll be waiting until February, but I'll live. 

Actually I kinda feel it may be a plot to get more money out of me, because since I have to wait so long, my need for my new toy hasn't been sated, so even though I just ordered a $350+ saber basically 2 months ago, I'm already thinking of throwing another wad of cash at a pair of Dominix v3's with LITE sound and Orange LED's with Red flash-on-clash, and then go crazy modding them out for some kind of fiery staff.

Dunno though.  We'll see.  I bought my first saber here back in August (Emerald Scorpion), and since then I've bought myself 4 stunt sabers, the Renegade with sound that isn't fabricated yet, and 3 other sabers with sound for friends as birthday gifts.  I may have an addiction...

Those are very cool raffle entries and well worth the wait. They were two of my most anticipated sabers when I ordered them and the un-boxing was nothing less than extraordinary. Good luck on the raffle. Haven't decided on which, if any, I'll be ordering for my raffle entry yet.

That was my favorite FoC when I was watching other peoples videos.

Those are both ridiculously OUTSTANDING choices. I particularly love the RGBA Emerald driver on yours, shade_1313, because WOW are you going to love the deep blood red you can make with the help of that amber diode, and I love the idea of flash on clash to SRD, sllikskills, because the FoC color being slightly olffset from the blade color makes a most fitting, more subtle transition for that hilt, in my opinion, because that hilt deserves it. Good luck on the raffle, too!

Sounds awesome.  The next high end saber on my list is going to be a Graflex of my own, set up similarly to my Chosen One.  It's about time I got these super iconic hilts.

Very nice.

As the (so far as I know) first Emerald/filtered colors crossguard saber guy, I like the Renegade setup, although I'm more of a fan of the Flamberge than the Renegade.  I have some small observations on such a saber.

You'll find it easier to try to match the color of the main blade to the filtered colors of the sides, than to set up a main blade setting and endlessly swap out discs or filters.

LEE filters are awesome for this application, and dirt cheap.

Some filter/disc colors you simply won't be able to obtain a perfect match for, mostly for reasons of relative brightness.  It's okay, there are a ton of color combos that DO work very, very well.  Dimming of the side blades by using filters/discs is a non issue, because the blades are so short that they still light up just as bright as the main blade.

If you want to do movie style blade flickering, it's best to treat it as a matter of setting brightness, not color change, per se.  In other words, with a good red on all three blades, I set the flicker such that the main blade alternates between R100 and R80, and the side blades between the same values for their own channel.

Also, I love the Graflex.  My next big Emerald saber purchase will be very similar, differing only in that mine will have both buttons bronze, no recharge port, no illuminated switch, and the button screw.

I look forward to seeing pics of both of these in the inevitable raffle picture thread.

With LEE filters, what packages should I look for to get some decent colors and mixes?

Well...I was waiting on 2 gift sabers I bought in early November for a couple friends (Warglaive w/ Obsidian Lite Sound with a silver blade + color discs, a Flamberge v2 w/ Obsidian Lite sound with a red blade and fire orange port blades), as well as one for myself (Renegade LE w/ Obsidian Lite sound with red main blade and red port blades), BUT...  all three models are on backorder, and won't be finished fabricating until February.  And then...then Ultrasabers has to go and start a Winter Raffle, and of course I HAVE to enter that. 

My Raffle entry:

Dominix v3 with Obsidian Lite Sound
[Blade LED Color:TRI Fire Orange]
[Flash on Clash:Flash Red]
[Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration:Standard Setup]
[Blade Length:36" Standard Size]
[Blade Option:Mid Grade]
[Obsidian Lite Sound:Obsidian Lite Soundboard]
[Pommel:Renegade LE Small Pommel]
[Switch Type:Orange Illuminated Black AV Switch]
[Blade Tip:POINTED TIP]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!]
[Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Standard Plug]
[Include Saber Stand:No Thanks]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks]
[Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks

And I'm going to Mod the hell out of the emitter, and the rest.  Drill some holes, carve some designs.  Gonna be awesome with my Team Orange blade.

Good luck folks!

Hi MofM.  You are going to like the hand grips on that Dominix v3.  Just so you are aware, unless you order another pommel... it will come with the basic open hole one.  So you will need to be a bit more careful with the speaker exposure even though it is recessed deeper into the hilt.

Now here's the sadder news... unless things have changed... you cannot order a Tri-color plus FoC.  But the FO will look really bright and intense.  :-\

I just ordered a Xtar VC4 charger and extra batteries from Amazon. The XC4 has 4 recharge bays, can revive a dead cell, and it can charge regular batteries, too. That means a whole lot less clutter in my charging area with more batteries being charged all at once.

Looks to me the one bundle VC4 package on Amazon with batteries comes with batteries quite a bit stronger than what US  is offering. Don't burn out your electronics.

They are cheaper, and if US had the VC4, I would have. However, when combining other things, I can qualify for free shipping once an order hist a certain amount with Amazon. So, at the end of the day, free shipping was better than paying shipping twice, even though the batteries are cheaper.

Just put the order in for my first saber. An Emerald Consular with v4 sound; The nickel shroud; Midgrade standard blade. I really look forward to customizing it with other emitters and pommels in the future, and I'm excited that the shroud is removable to give a different look entirely. Qui-Gon has always been a favorite so I think it's pretty cool that my first US will be based on his.

That's really awesome! My first Ultra Sabers purchase was a Consular with the Nickel finish as well and the shroud being removable has been my favorite feature. It was like getting 3-4 sabers all at once. I first bought the dark Manticore emitter and Archon pommel to put on mine and then started changing out led colors with quick disconnects (didn't get Emerald on mine), and combined with Obsidian sound it's like the jack of all trades. Very versatile. Excited for you!

Well as Qui Gonn Jinn himself said, and I quote, "if only that were true..."  I thought the same when I bought mine... every single saber is a new temptation waiting to become reality. If anyone is living proof, it's me, that once you start down the path to Ultra Sabers, forever will it dominate your destiny.  You must face an Ultra Sabers purchase... again.  ;D

Seriously, though, I hope you have so much fun with creating different looks for your saber. It's the best hobby ever.

Awesome! I'm planning my next saber for myself to be a Consular. I'm determined to have it before Halloween 2017. Qui-Gon has recently become a fascination for me. Someone mentioned in passing that I sort of resemble him, so I'm going to try to do a screen accurate Qui-Gon for Halloween this year.  I know it's 10 months off, but considering the money involved I have started planning early.

As a side note, I've been wondering ... does the Consular have a blade holder the way the Bellicose and Raven do?

From what I can glean, it appears to just have a standard MHS emitter, but I don't own one - yet, so can't be positive.

Muhuhahahaha!

The Chosen one was not my favorite after I got it because it was hard to swing around. Then I learned how to put all kinds of Darth Vader sounds on it they have available out there. Now I love it. It's so much fun.

Will be starting work on the customisations of my 2 Prophecy sabres today (Op. Yin Yang - http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=33710.msg527685#msg527685), but needed to order some more parts from US to pull the mods off. While ordering, I thought to myself "well, I did do a sh*tload of overtime during the last 2 weeks of work, I might just treat myself"- so I did!

I've ordered a Lost Gray with Obsidian V3, with the following set up -

Blade LED Color: Sentinel Yellow
Battery Configuration: Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck & XTAR VC2 Plus Charger Included
Blade Length: 36" Standard Size
Blade Option: Heavy Grade
Switch Type: Silver Non-Illuminated AV Switch
Bottom Button Color: Gold
Top Button Color: Gold
Covertec Wheel: Silver

Pics and updates to follow - noo the order's in, I cannae wait!

Your still waiting for your Autumn raffle prize? That's a long wait, supprised they didn't ship that to you until the Reaper is back in stock and then send that after.

Check the rules Caesar you have to acknowledge the rules first before posting. The Choosen one is a great saber. I have the same set up and I love it. Putting Darth Vader sounds on it is so fun.

I just purchased my next two lightsabers, both are stunts. I really do like stunts for 2 reasons:
1.) My dogs LOATHE the sounds of a lightsaber. I mean, it is bad. They start shaking like it a firework went off, so I compromised with them and my girlfriend.  :P
2.) I work night-shift, which means on days off, I am usually up late at night when everyone in the house and my neighbors are sleeping. Which means if I want to play with my lightsabers, they have to have no sound. (I have a really bad relationship with my neighbors so it is best to avoid any and all trouble.)

Anyway, enough of my rambling. I am currently (im)patiently waiting for...

Hehehe, I know whatcha mean about your dog getting annoyed with the sound. My dog, a Shih-Tzu/Maltese/Yorkie mix named Frodo, loses it anytime a fire or carbon monoxide alarm starts to "chirp", so we have to be really sensitive to that. He gets really shaky, almost like a seizure. Good of you to be considerate for your dog AND your neighbors AND your family to not get a saber with sound. Really nice of you, man 😉 Sound isn't everything and your configurations look really good. You'll love the Tri BR. I immediately noticed a much fuller blade when I got mine, not tons brighter though.

Which means if I want to play with my lightsabers, they have to have no sound. (I have a really bad relationship with my neighbors so it is best to avoid any and all trouble.)

Lucky for me my cat doesn't mind the sound, and I live in the middle of absolutely nowhere so there are no neighbors to bother (although it is hilarious to me to be out messing with the things with friends late at night - imagine you're driving down a country road in rural nowhere, would seeing a lightsaber fight in the middle of a field be on your top 1,000 things you think you'd see?  I've had a few people skid out to a stop in utter bafflement lol).

I don't have a prophecy, but you'll have fun with your Renegade - I've had a blast modding mine out, and still have plans for more stuff on it.  Let me know what you think about the width of the quillion with your 6" blades - I got the same thing, but still found it to be monumentally too wide for the handle length and main blade length - even with a 40" blade. 

Next I wanna play with some yari extensions on it and make an actual saber-glaive.

Dark War Glaive- BR/FoC AS w/obs4, illuminated red switch...Oh yeah and a Grab Bag (random color).

It's my first saber in over a year and am looking forward to getting back in this community. I've been so busy with the deaths of my sister and father within 4 months of each other, moving, and changing jobs over the last year, that I forgot how much fun I had when I was here. Or maybe I just haven't had that much fun period. Anyway, to the future and the almighty Force.

It's good to be back,
DBTD

I'm patiently waiting for my Tax return to come in so I can order a Chosen One CE stunt set up (to add to my overall Vader collection) and a grabbag saber. Grabbag saber is coming with SRD led so I can swap the SRD with the FO that is in my wife's Liberator. The new grabbag hilt will be mine.

From the discussions around the Reaper that I've read, granted not a lot, but a few, it seems like Ultra Sabers is in a position like Apple was with the white iPhone where they didn't want to release until the quality and look of it was where they wanted it, and it could be Ultra Sabers wants the same for the Reaper. It is an amazing hilt, and will be worth the wait. I know it's one I've come to appreciate more and more, and thus now want more and more like many here.   ;)

One of the reasons I need to have money ready to jump on it as soon as it comes back in is the natural variances in anodizing.  I need them to have enough stock on hand that I can (hopefully) arrange for them to pick a pair that are as close in the shade of anodizing as they can find, from the batch.

Ah ha... that makes sense. I'd want that, too. I've heard of how anodizing can turn out different with each batch.  Good call.   ;)

I'm waiting for my Phantom V4 LE staff. Both LED's in Blazing Red, stunt saber. I wanted to get the Menace but seeing as I have already spent more than I want to admit on sabers over the last couple months I think I will hold off for a while...the Phantom V4 LE should satisfy my double bladed saber needs for the time being.

Ok, had a better look on the PC. Still not sold on it though. But I sure do love that SRD color! Point for trying to help convert me back, but I think I'm just too stubborn to get back on the horse after my Dark Catalyst  :-\

Just some sanding and polishing. More of a two tone look. Might add some gold accents too. I keep thinking I'm going to get a saber and weather the daylights out of it, but then they arrive and they're so beautiful and I just can't quite do it. I would love to some sort of major modding, but my absolute fear of mucking up the electronics gets in the way. There's a part of me that keeps hoping one will break and then I'll have to something with it.

Called FedEx back to talk to someone else to see if I could find out what this "restriction" was (as the first guy wasn't really much help). Turns out the restriction is "the container isn't unpacked yet so you can't come get it"

I asked them why in blazes they would try to say that it was something to do with the shipper if it was just a case of not being ready and the line went silent. The lady didn't know how to answer that question.

I told her that there is a Valentine's Day present in there and I really would like to get it tomorrow (Tuesday here in Kangaroo-land) if I could. And she decided that was a good reason to send a request through to see if they would have it ready tomorrow. They are going to call me through the day with an outcome. Worst comes to worst I get it Wednesday. But if they feel kind enough then Tegan can get her present ON Valentine's Day instead of after  ;D

Fingers crossed saber-brethren and saber-sistren!

Aaaww, man! I'm so sorry to hear that =( Fingers crossed, let's hope they arrive tomorrow! Also, when you do get them, please let me know how much money was the import tax (if you don't mind, of course). It was especially high for me today, €36 ($38), usually being €25 maximum =S.

Also, on another note, mine arrived today! My co-workes kind of forced me to open them up at the hospital, so now the whole place got to play with them before I did and the surprise 4th prize saber isn't a surprise anymore XD But well... I'll make sure to do a review as soon as I can (hopefully tonight; if not, throughout this week).

DarthBoneTD, what do you mean by a silver bezel/black button AV switch? I might spring for an all adegan silver with silver hilt Flamberge, to replace my black/silver Flamberge LE in blazing red. I'd like to use yellow filters to make a golden crossguard saber, something very old old Jedi Knight style.

Sweet! Good for you. Please share some pics when you get them if you have a chance. The Monarch is one of those we need to see more pictures of around here. It has a lot of swagger.  ;D

I'm patiently waiting for my azure reaper with obsidian lite, Tri guardian blue LED, and blue light up silver AV switch.  Was going to go for a Dominix LE V4 or grab bag with no sound, but took the advise of my sister "why buy a lightsaber without sound, isn't that just a glowstick?" and my wife "just get what you really want now cause I don't want to hear you complaining".  So ended up narrowing it down to azure reaper vs azure mantis.  I was told they will most likely be back in stock at the end of March so I ordered last Friday to take advantage of the 10% off and free shipping of the winter sale.  With this new emperor sale, I am dreaming of an azure mantis with emerald driver and obsidian v4 and hanging out in the forum...while I wait for my precious blue reaper.

Impatiently waiting for my brothers first saber. I've recently ordered 3 sabers in 2 orders. For his birthday I told him he could get a grabbag saber (with blade), or $50 cash. After showing him my 2 grabbags (my wifes and mine) and my Chosen One CE he decided he'd take the lightsaber. So I'm patiently waiting to see what he gets and hoping he likes it.

 I am looking forward to being a part of the sabering community
I've only been in the community for a few weeks. Very welcoming group. Hope you love your first saber and the bug doesn't bite you too hard. Haha.

Well, my saber has left the states now. Rather worryingly it's scheduled for delivery on thursday so there is a possibility it will get a tour of europe and/or scandinavia instead of a direct flight here. :-\

Or you know, a few extra rounds on the conveyor in france to celebrate its new found liberté.  ;D

I'm patiently waiting for my azure reaper with obsidian lite, Tri guardian blue LED, and blue light up silver AV switch.  Was going to go for a Dominix LE V4 or grab bag with no sound, but took the advise of my sister "why buy a lightsaber without sound, isn't that just a glowstick?" and my wife "just get what you really want now cause I don't want to hear you complaining".  So ended up narrowing it down to azure reaper vs azure mantis.  I was told they will most likely be back in stock at the end of March so I ordered last Friday to take advantage of the 10% off and free shipping of the winter sale.  With this new emperor sale, I am dreaming of an azure mantis with emerald driver and obsidian v4 and hanging out in the forum...while I wait for my precious blue reaper.
Congrats to you. I'm really liking the sound of the blue theme saber you've ordered. It will be stunning! Be sure to share some pics.

That Warglaive fascinates me. Those claws, so unique. Nice move getting Emerald on it. That'll be a site to behold with all the color variations you'll be able to create on such a ferocious looking hilt. Can't wait to see pics.

And now that I noticed that they wasted no time in getting the EH pommels in the store, I ordered two silver, two black, then said "what the hell" and added two TRI-GB QD MLS units and since that took me to $200, I added (for the first time ever, I got in on a "free Initiate" offer once, and received a Dark Apprentice V4, but that's different) a grab bag saber.

It'll be fun to see what the Force selects for me.

Thanks for the heads up there, shade. Those would probably work really nicely with the Prophecy. I think I'll get a couple myself. Great idea on adding a grab bag saber to get the free shipping. I did that recently, and it felt like I was getting a grab bag saber for $30 since shipping would've made my $200 order $225 anyway. My grab bag was a Prophecy, and right after that I saw another forum member get one, too, while others have been getting Liberators. May the will of the Force be in your favor. 🤗

So, my saber is scheduled to arrive today. Meaning I'll have to be home all day waiting for it, if it will actually arrive considering it is still at the airport after a worrying "Held, cleared regulatory agency(s) after aircraft/truck departed".

I have considered getting it shipped to a fedex location but the only one in the area is at the actual airport fedex center, and I'm exactly not feeling up to a 1 hour metro, train & bus journey into the middle of nowhere, a security check and then lugging a inconveniently shaped package all the way back again...

Correction:  One of the two that qualified for free shipping went FedEx, the other went USPS.

I wonder if it's because one had two premium hilts (empty, though), and the other was parts and a grab bag.

Either way, free shipping is great, and I can't wait to get all my awesome saber goodness.

Yay, got the other order in.  The EH pommels are about the ultimate in compact pommels, and my Pint-Sized Powerhouse saber (Dark Menace body, Scorpion pommel "neck", Flamberge V2 blade holder, and now the EH pommel, with V4 sound and QD MLS units) is even smaller now, under 8 3/4 inches.  I'll try out my QD equipped staff later with the two TRI-GB MLS units installed, and my first ever grab bag is...

A Sentinel LE V4 in CG.  I'd never gotten any of the non-dark LEs before, it's nice.  That's one of the neat things about grab bags,  you might get something that you normally wouldn't get for yourself, but end up thinking "Hey, this is pretty dang nice!"

New here, and very excited to have place my first order! First time I've paid more than $10 for a lightsaber (previous ones were cheap plastic toys). It's a stunt saber, so nothing fancy, but I had an idea for something just a little different from the usual...

Dominix LE v4 with windows, blazing red LED, heavy grade blade, guarded switch, and the tiny detail to offset it from the usual - the regular pommel in silver instead of black.

It's a small detail, but I think it'll work.

Just got shipping confirmation and will be here on Wednesday. My TCSS order came in and I got the 3/4 D ring and clip for the Graflex. I came up with a cool solution to silence the D ring rattling, I cut a tiny sliver of leather and slipped it inside the ring where it pivots. No more rattle and it has a spring like affect when swiveling back and forth came out perfect.

Do I get to see this baby on your surgery/pool table? :)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: shade_1313 on March 03, 2017, 03:42:30 AM




Do I get to see this baby on your surgery/pool table? :)

Well, since my original idea isn't feasible (not to worry, I always had other plans if it couldn't be done, in fact I rather expected this), I can let you know what I was thinking.

My initial impulse was to look at the lower handle sleeve, and at the little ring sleeve near the emitter, and think to myself "Those would look awesome if they fit over a stripped down Graflex.  Damn, if this works I'll need another Graflex to put those on."  Alas, the Graflex hilt tube is a little bit bigger than the EH hilt tube.  Pity.  The lower grip sleeve has a stylistic resemblance to the longitudinal T-Track grips, but is lower profile, while the ring bit near the emitter aesthetically matches the sleeve that the activation box on the Graflex goes on, with the close spaced grooves.

As to what the Emperor's Hand IS...there are some complications to using the pieces.  Not that they are ruled out from use on another saber tube, but you have to be ready to drill and tap an absolute crapton of holes.  Yep, every one of those screws on those two shroud bits go all the way through the inner tube.  Note to self:  Pull all of those screws, one by one, and apply loctite, then reinstall.  This also means that you're going to have a bunch of extra holes in the inner hilt, if you want to use it after removing and repurposing those shroud bits.  I have some ideas there, but not just yet.

Anyway, the long and the short of it is that I expect that I'm going to simply swap out the emitter and build the empty up as a DIY that way.  I have a couple emitters I like, so I may end up doing this one as a DIY build with QDs, and I might get another in Emerald for other shenanigans later.

The emitter...has grown on me, a bit.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it just yet, though.  I'll find a use, though.

Aaaand, there I go, ordering stuff again.  Got to have stuff ready for summer projects, so I'm not stuck waiting for out of stock components until halfway through fall!

 ;)

Empty Lost Gray (I'll strip it to component parts when I get it, and post a similar breakdown to the one I did on the Fulcrum), some grab bag blades, a 40" UEHG for my Warsaber (Project:  Chimera) and I tacked on a grab bag saber again, because that was enough for free shipping, so the grab bag saber was effectively extra cheap.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: hazard502 on March 03, 2017, 05:43:18 AM
I didn't expect all those screws to go into the inner hilt like that which certainly limits the independent use of those parts.  But it does make for a crazy secure layered lower grip that's for sure.

I've thought about getting some graflex/windu grips from TCSS to possible swap for the EH stock emitter ones for a more tactile and lower pro look.  Haven't totally settled on getting the EH next but heavily leaning towards it - love so many elements of it.

Also, have dreamt about purchasing a stunt Lost Gray and an empty Dark Apprentice LE V4 - and using the Apprentice as the inner hilt.  Think it'd make for a very pretty stylistic change.  

Mounting it securely in the shroud would be simple and just swapping internals with the stunt LG would be a nice project - leaving the stock LG inner hilt to play with (no ideas with that yet).

Can't do both and likely would hit up an EH seeing as I already have and love my Tri-CG Lost Gray.

Patiently waiting for...

My first grab bag saber.  Which will also be my first Sentinel Yellow saber.  It'll be the awesome.

Also still patiently waiting for a Flamberge v2 I ordered in OCTOBER, but alas...that's a tale I've told a time or three.  So as I wait for that I'll enjoy my random Sentinel Yellow saber of awesomeness.

Yeah, the Flamberge V2s have been backordered for a good, long time.  I'm waiting for them to come back in stock, myself.

I was fortunate enough to get a flamberge off of eBay, though I'm selling it now because it's so slow for when I spar, and the 40" is so unfair lol. Eventually I want to get an all sentinel yellow crossguard with a silver hilt

They're definitely super fun though  ;D

Oh, I have a Flamberge V2, already.  And then I made an empty one into a single, with a Dark Arbiter emitter and pommel, and I did love my "Adjudicator" saber.  But I'd had another purpose in mind for that hilt, and when I got the rest of the parts I needed, I finally used it, and yet ANOTHER Flamberge V2 hilt to make my "Project:  Havoc", which used the main hilt tubes and emitters from a Renegade LE for a truly awesome staff.  But now I want to rebuild "Adjudicator", so I need another V2.  I also want the blade holders, and the side blade extension pieces.

I may be part of why everyone's waiting for the Flamberge V2 to come back in stock, when I think about it.   ;)

Now that's quite the collection, a renegade body staff sounds absolutely giant. Temple guard staff much?

It would be nice if they sold all those parts individually, even though I'd personally have no use for them.

Currently dreaming about making a smaller crossguard, where the side LEDs have no housing and the collimator lens sits inside the side blade before the diffusion film begins. Some day

I just put in an order for a Yari to use in one of my builds, and... My first "Sith" saber, seeing as I don't have one in BR yet  8)

Knocked my Emperor's Hand order back one extra week, but US are still waiting on my Mantis CE Clawed emitter to come back in to stock.

So this should arrive around the same time I make that order. It will be a nice ripple effect of orders and arrivals  ;D

No, no, not a Renegade body staff, a Flamberge V2 body staff, with Renegade emitters.

I figured I was getting something wrong there, I often confuse the two crossguard names.

Now THAT is an intense staff. What is that, 30" long? I'd imagine with ~14" bodies, the flush coupler, and emitters - wow. It looks beautiful.

25 1/4 inches or so, emitter end to emitter end.  With 32" blades, 85.5 inches total.

Ah, I hadn't taken into account how much the pommel and crossguard emitter make up the 14". 25" doesn't seem bad at all.

What a bundle of deals you got on that, Jediseth! Nice catch! Looking forward to hearing your opinion in person when I see you at FanX in a couple weeks! I'm so fond of mine I was thinking of getting the Dark Arbiter, too, at some point.

What kind of configuration did you go with?  ::)

 I was really torn if i was going to get the light up AV switch. Finally decided not to because I plan on customizing it and figured what I want to do with it would look best if I kept the switch simple. Almost went with the dark instead.
Along with the free shipping I saved $88 bucks and that doesn't include the Emperor deals on the charger and FOC.  I'm supper excited.

Well, my saber SHOULD have been here half an hour ago, but the courier they sent is less competent at his job than most pizza delivery drivers.

So now I'm waiting for sometime later today with an apology for the mixup. Apparently actually knowing how to operate an intercom isn't part of the job description for couriers working in a city full of apartment buildings. It would be less frustrating if I hadn't literally spent 3 years ramming this into another courier company before they realised it's actually relevant to their jobs to actually be able to do their jobs.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Lord Bladewraith on March 05, 2017, 08:56:00 PM
That is so frustrating! My daughter had the same problems when she lived in an apartment building in Boston where the drivers of this delivery company wouldn't use the intercom to save their life. My daughter literally had to go downstairs to wait in the lobby the morning of the delivery until the dude showed up. Oh the aggravation. Sorry you've got the delivery guy curse here. Sometimes it feels like they abuse the little power they have.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: obliviondoll on March 06, 2017, 05:16:19 AM
IT ARRIVED! Complete with apology from the courier! FedEx did good :)

And the saber itself is PERFECT! There's the usual (and expected) issue of the battery pack shaking about when I first picked it up, but I solved that with one of the packing peanuts that came in the box.

IT'S HERE!!!
(http://i.imgur.com/8IQoV7w.jpg)
My Emperor's Hand has arrived. ;D

I ordered it with black everything - even the covertec - and in DVA with white FoC.

If you look closely; however, you'll notice that it's an empty hilt.  That's right - I'm doing the install myself on this one, so no "lit-up" pics yet...

It just arrived, but upon first inspection it's absolutely gorgeous.  The emitter is extremely solid, and I don't think that the pommel could have a lower profile.

I'm very excited about this saber.  I imagine it will be one of my favourites.

I fully intend to do this beautiful hilt justice with my install, but it's my first at bat, so I won't rush it.

At it then...

haz: For sure m'man. :)

I actually took the act box off to add the switch.  Wow!  You can actually use the nut!

The tapped holes on the handle do indeed go right through, but the screws are well counter sunk - there are a few burs though...

That EH pommel is redonk for how small it is and I'm surprised how clean the body looks under the act box, but that'd prob change after using the saber for some time. 

I'm picturing the square box on the Graflex for a more moving accurate look - oh to have the funds, lol :D

I haven't checked yet, but based on the uniformity of screw and AV switch hole spacing between the Graflex and the Fulcrum, it should fit...BUT there is a caveat.  The diameter of the EH body is significantly smaller than the Graflex sleeve, so it would not conform to the shape without recontouring the inner, concave surface of the Graflex activation box.

Post by: hazard502 on March 07, 2017, 06:00:33 PM
Thank you for pointing that out, shade - hadn't thought of that aspect.

An interesting idea is that the lines on the EH box could loosely resemble a data card.

Not sure proportionally if it'd be a win or not.

This is why I always wait outside when ultrasaber delivery time approaches. From past experiences, I just don't trust the delivery guys to do their jobs when a signature is needed. Not when I'm this eager to receive my new toy. ;D

The longest days of my life were the days between ordering and receiving my ultrasabers. :D

My 4th lightsaber. First 3 were grabbags (Liberator V3 and Aeon LE V2) and a Chosen One CE. This one is a grabbag in DVA. I'm really hoping it's a V3 or later so I can potentially add an extension or pommel of choice.

Just got the word that my Sentinel Yellow Grab Bag saber will arrive today.  What blows is that I am working until Midnight tonight (it's 10am now - guh), so I'll be waiting.  It's my first Grab Bag saber - excited to see what they threw my way, especially since I had a dream this morning, and among a variety of other weird things happening in said dream, the saber showed up, but the hilt was 1/2" wide, with a blade like a very long drinking straw.  lol

Also, joining Team Sentinel Yellow, so there's that.

I am hoping that my current order (Empty Lost Gray, grab bag blades, and a grab bag saber) will be at the FedEx store and ready for pickup by the time I get out of my last class today, so I can pick them up on the way home.

I have a big paper deadline tomorrow night, though, so I doubt I'll be posting any pictures of the stripped Lost Gray before Friday.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: shade_1313 on March 09, 2017, 06:29:45 AM
Yay, my order got here in a timely manner.

Grab bag blades were two midgrades, two heavy.  Two were UE, two were not, I don't quite recall how they broke down in exact combination, but I think it was one UEHG, one UEMG, etc.  One was a 32" pointy tip (the HG clear tube), the others were 36" round tips.  Blades were in great shape, the pointy tipped one didn't even have a divot in it where a retention screw had ever been.  That one went into my Grab Bag saber for this order, an Apprentice V4 with windows in FO.

And now I'll have an empty Lost Gray to strip, photo for reference of all the other DIY builders and modders...but that won't be til later this weekend.

Got my first Grab Bag saber this evening - the only thing I chose on it was Sentinel Yellow as the color, and The good folks at US put that into a Dark Sentinel LE v4.  Couldn't be happier, and I'm digging on the yellow LED - it's pretty awesome.  Also got a pack of Roscolux filters in the mail today, so I'll be playing with tweaking the colors for weeks.

Anyone else ever get immediately addicted to the Grab Bag saber option? lol

I am patiently going crazy waiting for my new Flamberge Le (blazing red) Stunt Saber. I have wanted that saber ever since it was introduced by Emory shortly before the force awakended  :o I have a wife and 3 kids and saved up for over a year to get it. I ordered it 14 days, 23 hours and 43 mins ago and according to the response I got from [email protected], it wll be on back order until sometime in April.  :-\ It looks like a lot of my fellow Grey Jedi and Jedi Knight share my love and enthusiasm for this saber because so many of us have ordered one. I know its worth the wait! Anticipation is half the fun.

Ya I totally get the whole checking for shipping notification everyday Edon Bluewolf. Once my most recent order shows up, I will have a total of 4 ultrasabers and I have constantly checked for shipping notification everyday with all of them. It truly is like Christmas each and every time I order one. My youngest daughter is going to be 7 in April and guess what she has asked her Daddy to get her for her birthday? She wants an Initiate w/Fiery Orange blade color.....I am so proud!! Out of all the things she could have asked for and she wants an Ultrasaber. I am thinking that with her order I am going to add on a grab bag. It will be my first grab bag saber and i have been just edging to order one.

New to the site and ordering, a buddy and I made an order for a pair of twin Aeon LE V4 stunt sabers for our first sabers. I say twins because we actually ordered and are splitting a Phantasm V4. Silver AV switch, Ultraedge Heavy for sparring, windows and ordered wheel and belt clip w/ the circle plug to carry around. His will be a violet blade (waiting to see color with thicker blade) and mine guardian blue, otherwise they are identical.
 
According to the site they are due to come in tomorrow ;D. While waiting I've remade the saber several times on the site "patiently" waiting.

Nobody has ever patiently waited for their first saber. It's a painful combination of pins-n-needles and high anxiety for a week, followed by rapturous joy and sleeping with it for the following week.

I was able to wait semi-patiently due to the fact that I didn't think my saber would arrive for another week or two. So I wasn't expecting it, and my anxiety was low(-ish).

Patiently waiting for my new Chosen One CE with Tri Blazing Red with windows, Obsidian V4, 36 inch UE MG blade, red illuminated black AV switch and black activation box.

I didn't go for Diamond on this one, because I only want it in red, want it as bright and full as possible and didn't feel I would use the benefits that come with the extra $130 on this particular saber (though the shimmer and ramp on/off effects would've been cool).  Plus, I could still alter the hue of the red a bit with Lee Filters to produce a deeper blood red or a more pinkish red, if the mood strikes me.  ::)  This beast is gonna be red forever.  8)

I thought about selling mine to a cousin, and reordering in Emerald (perhaps now Diamond) in order to get a pulse from BR to PO. Back when I ordered, they also didn't offer black AVs, so I at least need to get my switch redone.

Yeah, I didn't want any silver on the switch or activation box at all, and mine will have the nickel finish, too, so it'll look awesome with all black. I do love the idea of the pulse from BR to PO, though. That'd be cool but I couldn't talk myself into spending $130 extra for it.

Hope this isn't too off topic, but I'll be ordering one that does include the Diamond board and wondered if you had to choose between a Dark Shock, Dark Monarch, Dark Catalyst or Dark Scorpion, which would you go with?

With respect to waiting on the end of the raffle for your order to ship...

I chatted with someone on the Ultrasabers website this morning.  I asked her to check on my order that was placed on March 20th.  She said it looks complete but she couldn't tell why it hadn't shipped yet.  She said it could possibly be they are waiting until the end of the raffle.

So nothing really definitive.  But it seems strange they would wait on shipping an ~$800 order for ~3 weeks on the off chance I win the raffle.  I would happily pay for shipping if I won, BTW!!!  :)

My vote for a new Diamond saber from your list would be either Dark Scorpion, or Dark Shock - I think between the two of those you'd get the most out of the gesture features.  Aside from that, the Scorpion is just awesome anyway, and the Shock, well...it's MHS compatible at both ends, so all kinds of fun can be had there.

I've been thinking of a Diamond Shock myself (not a dark one, but the standard silver), because a Shock plus one of these from TCSS: MHS-ribbed-extension-P245.aspx or this MHS-ribbed-extension-v-grooved-P252.aspx is just...sexy.  Like a half Shock / half Arbiter saber o sexiness.

Monarch or Scorpion gets my vote out of those, LB.
Cool, thanks, Isola. I am mindful of the thoughts you expressed about the reputation of the Monarch as an "apparatus", yet, like you, its design is so unique that it is calling my attention more and more.  Still, the Scorpion, it's so wicked looking.  Tough decision.

My vote for a new Diamond saber from your list would be either Dark Scorpion, or Dark Shock - I think between the two of those you'd get the most out of the gesture features.  Aside from that, the Scorpion is just awesome anyway, and the Shock, well...it's MHS compatible at both ends, so all kinds of fun can be had there.

Do eeeeeet...
;D  Thanks, buddy. That's some good insight. The Scorpion seems to be the front-runner so far.

That second piece, MHS-ribbed-extension-v-grooved-P252.aspx, looks exactly like what the Arbiter used to be when it was a 4 piece saber.  I have the 3 piece version myself, and I love the way that grenade grip feels in a grip.  Fantastic.  It seems that extension would certainly make the Shock about the same length as the Arbiter but more accents with those grooves on the hilt. Most interesting.

I vote . . . you slow down your insane pace or you will own every model by July and then what's there to look forward to?    :P
But I like buying these, as often as possible  :-\
...and that is sooooo not one of the choices, DISQUALIFIED!  How dare you impugn my plans  :P  ;D  :D

Really, though, owning every model IS the idea, and if it were to happen by July... I'd be lying if I didn't say I'd be delighted, but the best thing is that there will always be more to look forward to with Ultra Sabers, so I am shamelessly, insanely addicted to Ultra Sabers in the most wonderful way.  I gave into that a long time ago. 8)

Thanks, EB.  There is a lot of love for the Scorpion around these parts, and I've thought of it countless times and keep putting it off, mostly because I wanted to wait until I could do it right with Emerald, and now with Diamond, even better.  I will definitely share lots of pics and video on it.  Hopefully I can keep the video to under 10 minutes  :D

Point for your vote, too!  :)

I've been thinking of a Diamond Shock myself (not a dark one, but the standard silver), because a Shock plus one of these from TCSS: MHS-ribbed-extension-P245.aspx or this MHS-ribbed-extension-v-grooved-P252.aspx is just...sexy.  Like a half Shock / half Arbiter saber o sexiness.



Like so . . . ?  8)

I'd wager the Catalyst and Shock would take better advantage of the Diamond features as far as being better for easy fluid movement - not to say that the Scorpion won't be crazy fun either.  

But I'll toss in a vote for the Shock or Catalyst  :)

Haz, that's cool. Is that yours? You got your hands on one of the 4 piece Arbiters I love so much.  Awesome mix up you got there.

I used to have this Shock LE ... and the v-groove extension is still mine and it's a part from TCSS. I love it but haven't found a permanent home for it since.

Looks identical to the Arbiters. I've seen that on their site, but didn't realize it looked so close.

The 4 piece Arbiter can be entirely built from TCSS parts. (For almost twice the price)

Lookin good there, James.  I'm seriously dreaming that, if The Force wills that I win a Grand Prize this raffle, I'd consider a Catalyst to pair with my TCSS/Arbiter neck to give it a similar home as your Dark Catalyst.  Think that'd make a pretty combination.

That does look sharp, James. I wish TCSS did anodizing to get a black version of that Arbiter style neck. I'd love to pair one with the Dark Shock.

In any case point for the awesome MHS mashup!  :D

That Catalyst looks sweet! that grenade sections could easily be made for it.
Overlord just doesnt quite flow as well, but is still nice certainly.
Have a few ideas for the TCSS version to give it the LE look...

There's a section to select a vast number of colours and various patterns to apply to any MHS part they sell.

JediXIX and I have both gotten parts to match the black anodizing offered on US hilts - there's also red, gold, green etc.

My Reaper is sat at Stanstead airport, awaiting release to the FedEx ground guys. That means, maybe, hopefully... I could have it in hand by tomorrow.

3 working days from Texas to the UK. I'm never not impressed by that :D

If only you could run out to the FedEx office at the airport and pick it up, I know I would if they'd let me. Still, I'm excited for you that it's at least nearby, but that of course makes it even harder. I hope you delivery happens earlier rather than later in the day tomorrow. This is how I feel every time I think I hear the FedEx truck when I'm waiting for that highly anticipated package, and it turns out to be a false positive...

1) Sent my Renegade in to be upgraded from Obsidian Lite to Premium sound + a recharge port
2) My Raffle entry Diamond Archon v2.1 with 2 yari pikes and one quick release coupler

An Archon staff could be pretty sweet - they've had the Archon v2.1 up on facebook a few times now in the last couple months as their Flash Sale item (which is what I took advantage of), maybe keep an eye on their FB site and see if it comes up again.

Also, if it does - despite their saying "Flash Sale cannot be used with other promotions", the Flash Sale CAN be used along with the Spring Raffle.  Just sayin'...

I posted this in the raffle thread but thought I'd add it here. Ordered my first Ultrasaber, and I could not be more excited to get it:

Fulcrum with Sound (Diamond)
[Diamond Controller LED Type:RGBW LED]
[Diamond Blade LED Color:Sunrider's Destiny for Diamond]
[Diamond Flash on Clash:Flash Silver for Diamond]
[Diamond Pulse Mode:Diamond Pulse Off]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup (Batteries & XTAR VC2 Plus Charger Included)]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Blade Length:36" Standard Size]
[Blade Option:UltraEdge Midgrade]
[Diamond Sound:Diamond Sound]
[Switch Type:White Illuminated Black AV Switch]
[Blade Tip:Round Tip]
[Top Button Color:Bronze]
[Fulcrum Activation Box Type:Standard Black]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!]
[Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Circle Plug]
[Include Saber Stand:No Thanks]
[Include MICRO USB Cable:No Thanks]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks] 

I've also got three completely random Grab Bags (one of them the Spring promotion), and a separate grab bag blade for a Force FX conversion I'm working on.


I seriously have no idea how you guys do this on a regular basis. I've been checking my order status at least twice a day, and it's not even been a full three business days yet! The Fulcrum has been at the top of my to-buy list since it was released.

I think that's because the Archon not only has style, but is also just a good overall design. Mine is actually my go-to for a dueling saber (at least for my premiums).

I think that would definitely work well. Maybe replace the Archon neck/emitter with a shock emitter.
That's the beauty of MHS hilts. But then, why not simply staff 2 Shocks?

Indeed, but I like the combination of half smooth section/half grooved section on the Archon better, especially because the groove section is right where you'd have each hand on each side to grip the saber staff. I think it'd have that advantage, and then add the swagger of the Dark Shock emitter, fantastic; still, though, a Dark Shock saber staff would sure have a lot of swagger, too. Both are great ideas.

Seriously. My last saber purchase was an HP Dark Ini V4 stunt and the second half of my BH Menace CE w/ V4 in November for the fall Raffle 2016, I believe. I just haven't had my profile updated yet.

Project:BOOYA! was my entry for the last spring Raffle. And seriously, if I could find some tech genius that could edit the damn video, it'd be done and all would be excellent.

I also don't have a DVA MLS yet. So that should be a nice addition to my collection I also ALWAYS get UE blades. I think they produce the best results.

Project:BOOYA! was my entry for the last spring Raffle. And seriously, if I could find some tech genius that could edit the damn video, it'd be done and all would be excellent.


Just to let you know, I'm going to be building and posting my next project next week.   :P

Keep this up, and I really will manage all of this summer's projects before Project:  BOOYA! gets showcased.

If you're a PC person, use Windows Movie Maker. Drag and drop the file into the program and it will "process" it. Once it's done Click: File -- Save -- For Youtube

It will save it in a format compatible with Youtube. Usually mp4. If you have Windows 10 and don't have Movie Maker you can download it if you Google it. It's free Windows software and you can add it to Win10. Let me know if you have problems and I'll find you a link.

If you're not a PC person, my IT department is closed :P

Well After impatiently waiting since the middle of February, my Flamberge is finally here!!! Its being accompanied by an Aeon v2 in Fire Orange. USPS states that it is out for delivery here in the same town as me. I haven't totally relaxed yet because I don't have the delivery box in my hands but I keep checking the app periodically so that i now when it has been delivered. OMG! it is so incredibly hard to focus at work right now. I am seriously tempted to leave early today. If I didn't have to prepare for our quarterly meeting tomorrow, I would do just that. I am so excited to hold it and study it. I have been wanting one of these since the first prototype video came out. I am just hours away from having it in my hands.....The longest hours!

Hooray!   ;D  Good for you, man. Can't wait to see pictures/video, if you're so inclined  :D

I'm becoming more and more drawn to the Flamberge V2 myself.  Might be adding that one to my wishlist.

Yeah the one I've been waiting on is actually a bday gift for a friend of mine - I don't mind waiting, but he's already gone through all the stages of grief about the wait like 8 times lol  He's ready for it to arrive.

I really want a Flamberge CE myself - super polishy and silver, and then I'd give it either Sunrider's Destiny or straight up Blue as the color, and then use Photon blades on the thing for a crazy super-bright green flamberge.  Want it!

I'm a huge fan of the nickel plated hilts, too, so the Flamberge CE at first seemed like a no-brainer for me if I were to get one, but that Flamberge V2 has the same hilt design as the Omen, a hilt design I've really started to appreciate of late, only just inverted, and that's the huge draw to that one for me.

Hmmm...I wonder (since the people at US are so cool) if you could talk to one of their reps about ordering a Flamberge v2...but with the actual Omen handle rather than the inverted handle it normally comes with.  I mean...even if you had to order both a Flamberge v2 AND an Omen in order for them to switch the handles it may be worth it - some of the mods I've seen done with those handles are pretty awesome.

Cool idea for sure, but the Omen is out of stock and for now they said they aren't offering the hilt with other emitters/pommels. For a crossguard hilt I'd prefer the darker Flamberge V2 anyway. Thanks for the tip, though.

That would be one sick looking crossguard! Quite Beautiful!
I heard the same ETA on the V2 and the Le of the Flamberge series as Lord Bladewraith. It was originally April but pushed back another month. The one I have had my heart set on is the Flamberge Se. Just got it today guys! Posted an unboxing on YouTube under my same name as my forum username. Fixing to post some pics on saber gallery. Hope you guys like them!

You might be able to get away with ordering an empty hilt. They should send you the unused parts. I think the reason they are so complicated on large premium hilts is because they don't move a ton of them, so they only produce parts for complete hilts (read: "No Spare Parts for sale. :()

The Flam CE is particularly shiny, and very heavy. I'd like to know how it stacks up to a Renegade.

Wow, that's good to know - in my mind there was no way that the Flamberge CE would weigh anything close to the Renegade.  My brain had constructed this thought that it would be relatively light by comparison.

Looking at the pics, I believe the Gade is actually slightly narrower than the Flam. I can't say about the large Gade pommel, but I know the small is lighter than the Flam's. I think in the end they might weigh about the same even though the Gade has more parts to its design. I could be wrong though. :P

Such a fine saber for MHS and QD MLS LED units. You're going to have a lot of fun with that. I love the potential it has. I have some new MHS plans for mine, as I have an Archon 3.1 coming and will probably use the neck/emitter from my Archon 2.1 when I want to duel.

Congratulations, and I love the background on that picture. Point to you.

Oh nice :D

I will likely pick up the Archon 3.1 for myself as well and hand the 2.1 to my oldest son (even though he said he wants to be a stormtrooper when he grows up lol). Has any info came about with how strong the thin neck is? It would be fun to duel with(light dueling) but id just be afraid of it warping or bending.

Thank you for the point, i finally modded my Ren helmet to fit and have applied mesh rather than the shiny visor it had. all i have left for the overall costume is making the pleated arms, making the neck seal, black denim pants and some decent black boots :D and of course a Flamberge saber. Really bummed out that the Black Series replica is bulky as crap. Unless you have bear hands you likely can't fit your hand all the way round it.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Lord Bladewraith on April 11, 2017, 10:15:32 PM
Generally I've heard that it can withstand light dueling, and it does come with a custom heavy grade blade by default as the blade socket has a stem that inserts into the blade, so the film on the inside of the blade has to be cut higher up so it doesn't get scrunched.  It's one of the most shallow blade sockets, though, so I wouldn't do any hard contact dueling.

Side note: tbh I'm hoping the things that were negatives to me will turn out to be insignificant and that it will impress me. I ordered this after doing the "Isola Random Hilt Challenge" here on saber forum under "Discussions", so hilt, blade color, flash on clash and its color are all completely random. I drew the Archon 3.1 randomly from 10 choices of hilts written on pieces of paper that I had written off from ever wanting to own, along with 20 possible blade colors, flash on clash (yes/no) and 6 possible flash on clash colors. So the reason I'm getting the Archon 3.1 (especially since I already own the 2.1) is literally "the will of the Force"  ;D  (a leap of faith)

Also waiting (im)patiently to see if the Mantis CE clawed emitter that I bought with the Mantis CE in February will be in with this order or not because my girlfriend really wants the claws on her Mantis and has been waiting for it to arrive so she can do some photos with her saber!

My Consular DIY hilt is out for delivery (again) today.  They tried yesterday while I was at work and nobody else was here to sign for it. ::) Since they wouldn't let me schedule the delivery for this morning, (news flash: not everyone works 9-5 ::)) if it's not here by the time I go to work today, I'm going to print and sign that form, tape it to the front door, and just hope somebody gets it in before someone steals it.

I've got to give you and the other members here who live on the other side of the world props for even ordering from here.  (I know, not a lot of choices)  If I lived where you do and made what I do, I'd never be able to afford the shipping charges.  :o

You could always move. Or start your own saber company,...with blackjack...and hookers. Then you wouldn't have to deal with customs. On second thought, forget the saber company. :P

Hmmmm  maybe forget the blackjack too...  8)

Moving to the US is high on my list though tbh. Maybe I should stop spending so much money on sabers so I could actually afford to move hahaha

I kind of always looked at life as "Wherever you are, that is where you are supposed to be." If you are supposed to be in the States, the ability will present itself.


EDIT: Speaking of being where you're supposed to be.

I really don't think a Scorpion as a third-place is at all likely, but if I did get another Scorpion prize, you bet your crack I'd be taking it all apart and rebuilding it as something a bit more individualized.

So I've seen that a few people have been getting different Flamberges recently - Flamberges that they ordered in the last month or two, and that they had to wait on because they were backordered.

Anyone know specifically if the Flamberge v2's are in yet, by chance?  I've been waiting on one literally for 6 months.

I was told by US Customer Service that some are expected back in stock during May some time. I think I may order one myself at that time.

I just keep having little worries about it because it was part of a much larger order that had several changes to it made before any parts of it started shipping my way (I had it split up a couple times, and later chose to upgrade the Flamberge).  I know...I've never had a problem with US getting things right, it's just my paranoia hehe

Bwahahaha. You suck at life. (JK) :P

That just plain sucks, unless you were well aware of this fact before you ordered.

Just for the tally books, what did you order? That may play into why it's not in stock yet.

That's a great help, thanks, bB! I definitely want to try it without the blades, but like you said, it's a beast, and the blades is one of the things I like about it, not mention the way they machined the hilt.

I totally get that anxiety, so it'd have me worried, er um, concerned, too.  ;)  Just repeat, "I am one with the Force, and the Force is with me", and "I fear nothing. All is as the Force wills it". It's all good, bro.  ;D

Sabers are in the country, now they just have to make it to the right state :)
This is so completely AWESOME, Isola. I'm thrilled for you that they got there a bit early? Weren't you expecting to have to wait until Friday, which I guess still could be the case, huh.

It will still be Friday as they have to travel further still to get to me and FedEx refuse to deliver earlier than the predicted date of delivery. And I honestly CBF driving out to the airport and paying the tolls just to pick them up one day early.

I am impatiently waiting for my new DIAMOND SABERS!!! Yes, that is PLURAL!!!  

My dream saber will soon be a reality.  I was struck with the EH as soon as it debuted.  Not recognizing it as Mara Jade's hilt, I just gawked at the balance of intricate design details and supreme wield-ability, not to mention the 'ancient' / 'medieval' Old Republic qualities it has on first glance.  The fact that it is an EU character's design honestly was not really a factor - I just adore the look and (I expect) the feel.

So, here's my EH build specs:

Options:

• Diamond Controller LED Type:RGBA LED
• Diamond Blade LED Color:Sentinel Yellow for Diamond
• Diamond Flash on Clash:Flash Bane's Heart for Diamond
• Diamond Pulse Mode:Diamond Pulse to Pyrestone Orange
• Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup (Batteries Included *ONLY*)
• Recharge Port:No Recharge Port
• Blade Length:36" Standard Size
• Blade Option:UltraEdge Midgrade
• Diamond Sound:Diamond Sound
• Emperor's Hand Grip Screw Type:Silver
• Switch Type:Green Illuminated Black AV Switch
• Emperor's Hand Pommel Type:Black
• Blade Tip:Round Tip
• Emperor's Hand Activation Box Type:Angled
• Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks
• Include Blade Plug:No Thanks
• Include Saber Stand:No Thanks
• Include MICRO USB Cable:No Thanks
• Include Covertec Clip:Yes!

Note: Requested black CT wheel.  Also, the Bane's Heart choice for FOC was primarily selected given what I would be clashing *against* - that is...

The SILVER CATALYST.  Now, why would I do that?  Dual wield a gritty, take-no-prisoners saber with a sleek and elegant Naboo Queen's Royal Starship saber?  Heck no!

This one will be my wife's saber, guys.  She wants in on the madness action!  Not to mention my 3 year old, who will be over the moon with the initiate saber thrown in.  So, we went all out and took full advantage of the 15% off sale.  Oh, and these are the first sound sabers I have ever purchased - yeah, Diamond is a good way to start!  Pretty sure this will last me through The Last Jedi Premier, if not Episode IX...

Oh, and here's the details on her build:

• Diamond Controller LED Type:RGBW LED
• Diamond Blade LED Color:Dark Violet Amethyst for Diamond
• Diamond Flash on Clash:Flash Silver for Diamond
• Diamond Pulse Mode:Diamond Pulse to Violet Amethyst
• Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup (Batteries Included *ONLY*)
• Recharge Port:No Recharge Port
• Blade Length:36" Standard Size
• Blade Option:UltraEdge Midgrade
• Diamond Sound:Diamond Sound
• Switch Type:Yellow Illuminated Silver AV Switch
• Blade Tip:Round Tip
• Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks
• Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Standard Plug
• Include Saber Stand:No Thanks
• Include MICRO USB Cable:Yes
• Include Covertec Clip:Yes!
• Install Covertec Wheel:Yes ($10 install + $4 covertec)

Awe wow that's fantastic, Vv. I love hearing that you, your wife and your 3 year old went for it together, and I'd  be lying if I said I wasn't envious of you getting an EH with the Diamond board - my EH is my all time favorite saber and would love to upgrade it to Diamond some day. Sincere congrats to you all. You're going to LOVE those sabers with Diamond. I'm really liking that you choose green and yellow illuminated AV switches. Unique choices that I think are going to look brilliant! Thanks for the shout out, too!

Oh that's right free Initiate deal going on. What did you put in on that one? :P Was it a V2 or V3?

The free initiate is full grab-bag, I did not request any upgrades.  I may regret leaving it as a AA battery saber when my boy leaves it on all night, but I might get rechargeable AAs, too.  Fingers crossed that the hilt is a V3 or V2, as the V4 would be less comfortable for tiny hands near the top.

Thanks LB!  I have seen your collection photos (very useful reference, btw!) and trust me, the envy is all one-way :)  I can't wait to see the green switch on mine.  I vacillated on green vs. yellow for mine, but ultimately wanted a clearly Jedi color to make my allegiance known.

Alright Vervidian. Those are going to be awesome. I don't yet have either, but I almost got myself a Dark Catalyst as my first saber. Congratulations, those will be some fine sabers.

Thanks Taegin.  I was amused that my wife wanted a saber which I had completely overlooked, and I bet it will exceed my initial impressions. 

Now, time for the SABER WAITING GAME.  Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock.  :)

Of course many will tell you it's great - but I've had mine since Monday so as a fresh opinion about the Prophecy it's a great investment.

Very good looking hilt and yes it's just a breeze to wield and would be especially deadly in your hands.

Awaiting my Dark Initiate v4 in DVA with Obsidian v4 sound and a Yari extention!

I am still having fun with my Initiate v3 staff, but really like the long-handled saber feel.

I'm patiently waiting on the Bellicose that I ordered last week and I'm super excited for it to arrive. It was the first saber I was drawn to but this isn't my first saber, it's my fifth Ultrasaber and I absolutely love them. Anyways, I got it in Guardian Blue with Silver Flash on Clash, a Bronze decorative Button, Silver Non-illuminated Switch, Long Groove Pommel and a 32" Ultra Edge Heavy Grade Blade. I will hopefully have an unboxing and a review video on my channel so look out for the Pop Culture Cosplayer on YouTube.

So agreed, and if being addicted to sabers is wrong, I don't wanna be right  8) Wow, Tri Cree Arctic Blue on that will look mind blowingly sharp.  I love my Dark Prophecy with Tri Arctic Blue - it's such a sweet color. Nice catch on the Flash Sale.

Beautiful sabers; I really like the versatility that those two present  :)

My v3 Dark initiates in the offset staff configuration (30" blade + 16" blade) makes for a great pike with a short blade on the back end.  It's also fun to split them so that I have a saber and a dagger style weapon.

The newer v4 saber with the yari on it is just beastly!

I am having a lot of fun changing the configurations for different grip styles on these!

On its way is my hubbys Fulcrom and dark apprentice v4 staff, my phantom v4 staff, 1 grab bag saber, 2 16" additional blades, and the free initiate

All right, FS  :D  Like you, I'll definitely take advantage of the grabbag w/ my second purchase.  CG is a great color; personally, I'd pair it w/ Archon v3, Consular (natch), and the Fulcrum hilts.  While I really don't like yellow...something draws me to do Sentinel Yellow w/ Lost Grey (probably let my wife dual-wield what I consider to be my Ahsoka build  ;))

I ordered a Flamberge v2 in October as a gift for a buddy, and in October the estimate was February.

Then in December the estimate was March.

Then in February the estimate was April.

Then in March the estimate was the middle of May.

Well I jumped in feet first and found the deep end. The last light saber I purchased was a parksabers (nothing against them really, just not what I was looking for style wise) over 15 years ago...to say things have changed dramatically is an understatement!

So, I'm anxiously awaiting my Sentinel v4 Staff with premium sound, upgraded charger and Arctic Blue Blades + my free initiate that came along with it! Still debating how I want to wrap the recessed areas of the staff, I have some nice gray and brown leather around the house.

And 2 short days later, I find myself ordering a Renegade LE (red, no sound) for my niece (she's crazy if she thinks I won't open and play with it first) for her Kylo Ren costume. I know it's not authentic but it's much nicer than the Black Series :P

Anxiously awaiting shipping notifications!

Then in December the estimate was March.

Then in February the estimate was April.

Then in March the estimate was the middle of May.

lol

I've been waiting a comically long time for this thing to arrive - I hope they don't have any more delays hehe


That makes me worry... I need the parts before December :(

Well I jumped in feet first and found the deep end. The last light saber I purchased was a parksabers (nothing against them really, just not what I was looking for style wise) over 15 years ago...to say things have changed dramatically is an understatement!

So, I'm anxiously awaiting my Sentinel v4 Staff with premium sound, upgraded charger and Arctic Blue Blades + my free initiate that came along with it! Still debating how I want to wrap the recessed areas of the staff, I have some nice gray and brown leather around the house.

And 2 short days later, I find myself ordering a Renegade LE (red, no sound) for my niece (she's crazy if she thinks I won't open and play with it first) for her Kylo Ren costume. I know it's not authentic but it's much nicer than the Black Series :P

Anxiously awaiting shipping notifications!
My first gateway w/ saber replicas was also Parks but for whatever reason I just didn't consider them a viable alternative (nothing wrong, just my own hang-ups I suppose).  Fast forward several years and I come across US; everything "clicked" and I'm addicted  ;) 

Just from what I've read, I'd like to see pics of your saberstaff, especially after the leather mods^^

...and the time has come for me to order my saber staff!
Happy May the 4th everyone! :)

(It's a stunt Phantom Initiate v4 with Adegan Silver 32" long blades - however I'm over the Moon (that's no Moon, that's a space station!) with the brillant white colour shooting out of the black hilt, I may just filter it further to get Sentinel Yellow when it arrives! :))

Well my saber friends and fellow addicts, I have just knocked off another saber from my wishlist and ordered a Dark Standard Issued Battle Saber v3(sun riders destiny). I also ordered a Dark Initiate v2 (Blazing red) that I'm going to surprise my padawan daughter with. Much love to Ultrasabers!!

Just ordered a Dominix LE v4 in Tri Consular Green last night, I'm pretty excited. I instantly fell in love with green after my last saber, a Dark Initiate v3, and it looks especially sharp on the black hilts. But I got that one with flash on clash, I'm really looking forward to seeing how much more justice Tri Cree does the green on this one

Holy droid parts, I just spent too much money. Ordered 3 sabers & 3 extra blades.

A Dark Apprentice LE V4 in BR, an Initiate V3 in SRD & a Prophecy V3 in AB. All have Obsidian Lite sound (first time sound sabers) & flash on clash. The Prophecy will have an illuminated switch.
All Ultraedge blades, we prefer the results in person.

I haven't been on here much for a while, what better way to return than with a mass purchase...........

I was originally going to buy a dark prophecy v.3 today in blazing red with no sound. Then I got a nice email about 20% off the Archon 2.1 which, after seeing one at a convention last year, I figured was just as good a saber to buy.

So now I'm waiting on the Archon in red with Obsidian Lite sound. No flash on clash this time, I just want a saber to go with my Bellicose when I attend conventions!

I ordered my second niece her DVA Apprentice v4LE cuz I christmas shop early lol.  She's tiny so I'm gonna make her a 3/4" blade and low profile pommel with a d-ring for her. I put in the comments that if possible, give it a tad more red than normal DVA but not VA. We'll see how that goes, just so it's a slightly different shade fro her sister's.

I also got some grabbag blades and my first grabbag saber. I just really hopes it's not red... x'D. Hoping for something customizable.

Getting rather impatient now, they're not due until tomorrow but they've been in my town since Thursday, guess I'll just have to wait. The previous ones came early, they must just have full loads & are sticking to the delivery schedule.

I changed my Flamberge to a Renagade. :D so waiting on that now.

Do you happen to know if the Flamberges are in yet, or is it still delayed and that's why you changed it to a Renegade?  I ask because - as I've mentioned on this thread a time or twelve - I'm waiting on a Flamberge that I ordered in October of last year, and the arrival date always seems to get pushed back.

In my case I'm getting an empty to gut for a custom Kylo-esque build. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL (getting info about this as like pulling teeth from various lightsaber groups, including here), the crossneck on the flamberge and Renegade are both MHS compatible. And I'm tired of waiting, I wanna take my time and have it built waaaay before December when I need it.

I had almost ordered the Dark Sentinel due to the sale, but I really want to begin work on my Sith Costume, Darth Araphel, and that will utilize the SaberStaff, so I chose to go with that. This, along with the fact that my little brother is in love with my current US and he wants to duel.
It was in final processing yesterday, so I'm hoping I will get the shipping email today or tomorrow!

Less of a torment - it's the CE model that caught my eye some time back.

I'm just glad the flash sale didn't happen Thursday.  The only two Flamberge models I like are the regular one (all black) and the CE.  If one of those was on sale Thursday (payday) I'd be fighting that little devil too.  Unfortunately, I already spent my saber allotment for the month.

Of all the crossguards, the CE and all black are the best looking. I'm making my own so I have no way to justify buying another crossguard, even if they have the LE on sale right now. Can't beat my $30 custom hilt

I'm using my Bellicose pommel on my Lost Gray and I love it, saves about 1/2 an inch in length. Another one that I think looks sleek is a Menace or low pro Manticore pommel.

Juat made the biggest order I've done from US in a while.  Had to take advantage of the free shipping and 10% even if it wasn't financially very smart right now lol.  I tried not to pull and punches on this one.

I asked for the blades to be about 29 inches since 32s are a tad too long on the back pass (at least on my larger staff I practice with now).  Grabbed the quick release coupler for added cosplay shenanigans.

Well, there is that. You've reminded me that I'm off to a barbecue in a few weeks, but I don't think we do it the way they do in the southern US.

I spent an entertaining quarter hour on Google Maps last night when I realised that the FedEx hub is about two blocks over from Graceland. Elvis had two jets, and they're just parked in the middle of Memphis. Streetview takes you all around the outdoor part of Graceland, at least.

Anyway...

The plane has landed :)

I believe the original definition of barbeque is "cooking meat over an open flame." So going to a barbeque is pretty much just a cook out. It has since taken on other meanings. But nobody does BBQ like Memphis.

Street view can pretty much take you where ever there is a road to be mapped.

Have a Consular with lite sound and a Archon V2.1 Emitter I ordered on the 20th that hasn't shipped yet. May email them tinnitus since neither showed as backorder.

Also have a Prophecy V3 with lite sound I ordered early this morning, is on backorder but chat told me they would be back in stock by the end of August so works for me.

Both are Christmas presents for the kiddos, the Archon Emitter is for me.

Also plan on ordering a couple mystery boxes possibly tomorrow.

One thing to keep forefront in mind is that they are currently having a raffle which is pretty much a sales drive. Vets know that these times get a little hectic at US. But look at the bright side.....you may have won something.

I figured that I'd what the hold up is (being busy due to raffle) so I'm not that worried about it. They are both cut Christmas anyway (although I have to "check them out" when they get here).

So I have two orders processing but that wasn't good enough, the mystery boxes have been calling my name so I sent ahead and ordered a $200 box. But at only $200 I don't get a raffle ticket so I had to get a $75 box to go with it :)

Props for planning ahead, cuz if you think raffle times are busy.......Christmas/Star Wars season breaks everything. Like when TFA came out, orders that were placed even in Nov. I think had issues getting shipped on time. And orders in Dec. didn't make it out until Jan. And the sicker part is that US planned ahead and overstocked on popular models, and stuff still ran out.

FedEx website hasn't updated since Wednesday night. I assume, based on prior experience, that it could still be on the van for delivery today; FedEx UK do sometimes have trouble updating their website, and I've had a flurry of updates all show up in one go.

Still: Agh.

Dominix V4 Diamond. Ordered Silver/Silver/Silver out of the box so i can familiarize myself with what looks like an awesome Diamond controller! Cant wait to use my custom sounds in a "meme" font! Even at $420, this saber offers greater potential than anything offered by any "other folks!" Cant wait to get my hands on it!

Sorry if im posting this in the wrong area, i understand if its deleted/moved. Since US recently had a con setup, does that mean orders placed over the weekend will be longer than the usual 1-3 business day fabrication period? Basically, does US usually have significant backorder after a con weekend? If it takes a little longer than "usual" thats ok. I respect the time it takes to produce a quality product. Im just curious cause im working on a sound font that i want to load up ASAP. I can put more in depth work into that font if there will be a slightly longer delay. Id also not like it to have to wait to be picked up from USPS until a week from tomorrow. But ehh.

Got my Guardian today (& it's freakin awesome) but I've realized my screw ups in the past. I haven't been using the codes for the free Initiate etc when spending over x amount & severely missing out so I decided to see what rewards I had.......

.........I have now place an order for a $75 mystery, saved $50 on it. Downside is I'm in Oz so it still wasn't cheap but the discount was great.

No they have a rather big team. Some stay behind to fill orders and some go off and do the Cons. If there is a delay it will only be by maybe a day or two. With the Raffle going on I can imagine they are a bit slammed with orders. I know I put a good order in.

Yeah...  So earlier this month when the Raffle began I told myself "No...no, you don't need any more sabers.  Call off this vendetta to win in a raffle, and save your money.  Maybe buy one around Christmas.  Stop this madness.  Just...stahp."

Well I did good, folks...  I made it all the way to the last day of the raffle.  And yeah...I couldn't help myself.  So this happened:

1" Blade Plugs
[Select Your Blade Plug:Standard Blade Plug]     

SOUND-FlambergeCE   Flamberge CE with Obsidian Premium Sound
[Crossguard Main Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue]
[Crossguard Left Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue]

And of course I got all the extra raffle goodies. 

Next step is to go get my hands on a 40" and x2 4" Photon Blades for the Flamberge, and then I'll have a serious Ghostsaber

Cheers folks - may the odds be ever in MY favor ;)

One more off my wishlist!

Im (not so) patiently waiting on my Shock LE STUNT saber. Ordered it just before midnight last night after work and it was nerve wracking using someones cred card (dont have one of my own yet, dont like em) and it gets DECLINED.  :( That was crazy.

Still, everything got fixed and I was able to get it. Im so excited! Itll go great with my Dark Jedi Revan cosplay. I was seriously conscidering getting his STWOR hilt from the....hmmmm...other guys? But I just said screw it, its on discount!

So I'll be getting this in a week or more, plus new black gauntlets around the same time and finally the Revan mask at or around the end of August. HYPE

Ah ha.  Wow that makes me feel really good about what I chose. I really liked the idea of that purple blade with the gold, as in, I couldn't imagine any other color with it, except maybe TRI fire orange. It'll be great to put up another review video again. Seems like forever ago that I did one last.


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: mini_talisman on August 12, 2017, 02:04:07 AM
Yeah, I thought of getting purple but I have a Dark Sentinel v4 Emerald and Obsidian v4 that I can make purple or whatever color I want so I was like....I need a red. Since I also have a stunt blade that I forget the name of thats Artic Blue. Itll look good in pics with me having a red saber and my brother holding the blue saber, since we both have dark/light Jedi outfits.

I was VERY tempted to get DVA though!

I'm Eagerly awaiting my very first UltraSabers order. My brother-in-law made the purchase for us of one $75 Mystery Box for me and one $200 Mystery Box for him just to dip our toes in and see how we like them. I've been watching unboxing videos on youtube for about a year and never really had the money to get one myself but I think after this I may have a pair to save up for.

Congratulations to everyone getting their first Ultra Saber.  It's a phenomenal experience to get your first one and really feel a connection to Star Wars.

Also, huge compliments to Ultra Sabers for making options like grab bag and mystery box sabers available - not only are they FUN, but as Taegin Roan mentioned in another post about the Mystery Box sabers, they can be a "gateway" to the world of sabers for many who are on the fence about getting one.

I'm about as excited for this as I was for my Flamberge. So frickin' ready!


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Lord Bladewraith on August 16, 2017, 09:00:10 PM
So I had some store credit/rewards points and decided to jump in with both feet into the current 15% off sale with both feet and ordered two sabers that at least just a few months ago seemed like an extinct species that we were never going to be fortunate to see in the wild again. Now that they're back, and who knows how long, I'm doing this, and I'm really, really excited!    :P ;D :D ;)  

I present... my order of the Azure Omen and the Flamberge V2.  Now I'm all like...

(https://media.giphy.com/media/DpPY7cbiUZPxu/giphy.gif)

First, the Azure Omen, awe man what a masterpiece... I almost just went for the Dark Omen, but that Azure Omen is just so gorgeous I couldn't NOT get that one. Following Prowl1701's lead on this (after I watched his great review video .. thanks, Prowl!), I went for the Tri Adegan Silver as the blade color, making it resemble more of a glowing blade like in the original ThunderCats. I thought it was a great idea, and with QD I still have options to use other more lightsabery-like colors. Emory's original introduction video on it did mention that the cat/eye discs are filters and glow the brightest when red or silver LEDs are used, so I'll be trying Blazing Red as well as maybe Bane's Heart, too.  I also went with Cats on both sides of the discs, but I paid $12 extra to get a pair of the cat EYE discs, too, so I could change it up a bit.

Here are the particulars on the Azure Omen order:
SOUND-AzureOmen   Azure Omen with Obsidian Premium Sound
[Blade LED Color:TRI Adegan Silver]
[Flash on Clash:Flash Arctic Blue]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries Included *ONLY*)]
[Recharge Port:Recharge Port + No Charger]
[Blade Length:36" Standard Size]
[Blade Option:Heavy Grade]
[Quick Disconnect:Sure, Add Them!]
[Sound:Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]]
[Switch Type:Blue Illuminated Silver AV Switch]
[Back Disc Type:Cat]
[Front Disc Type:Cat]
[Ship Assembled?:No, Ship Disassembled]

[Include Blade Plug:No Thanks]
[Include Saber Stand:Yes, Two Piece Saber Stand]
[Include MINI USB Cable:No Thanks]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks]
[Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks]

Next the Flamberge V2 --- awe what a beauty.  At first I was going to go with Emerald and change the side blades with Lee Filters, but Marlena gave some great advice to go with the Diamond controller instead as it doesn't take away any LED color because it has accessory channels that power the side blades, so I can change all three blades to the same color - WOOHOO!! Huge thanks to Marlena for pointing that out to me before getting too far with my order. I do have some Diamond sabers already, but this is my first crossguard saber so this was a huge help! Points to Marlena!  I'll be trying out every color I can, not to mention all the other incredible potential that comes with the Diamond driver.

Here are the particulars on the Diamond Flamberge V2 order:
E-SOUND-Flambergev2   Flamberge v2 with Sound (Diamond)
[Crossguard Main Blade LED Color:Emerald Green for Diamond]
[Crossguard Left Blade LED Color:Emerald Green]
[Crossguard Right Blade LED Color:Emerald Green]

Sonofabi... I didn't know we could buy extra discs. Oh well, next time. I went with blanks but changing it up could be fun.

That's one wallet killer of an order. Good thing for the rewards and discount!! Can't wait to see a video on the first (that I know of) Diamond crossguard :)

You all can be expecting an unboxing video for mine. If I didn't state it already, it's an Electrum Wind with VA, and Premium sound, a Consular in CG with Lite Sound, 550+ Free Initiate, and second prize Sound Saber.

I only know about it because I watched Emory's original intro video about it and he mentioned they were available. I thought about the blank discs, too, but I prefer having something on there. I wonder how difficult would it be to etch your own symbol out of the blank ones, like the Grey Jedi, Sith or Imperial symbols? That would really be a ridiculous twist to be able to switch out different symbols.

Yeah, I couldn't have bought them now otherwise, but the rewards/discounts/credits got me close enough that it was "do-able".  Timing was good.  :)

9-16 local comic con (including a guest from here) group will have a large presence here as well (can we say outnumber 501st again?)

Post by: TheDutchman on August 19, 2017, 12:40:39 PM
So I had some store credit/rewards points and decided to jump in with both feet into the current 15% off sale with both feet and ordered two sabers that at least just a few months ago seemed like an extinct species that we were never going to be fortunate to see in the wild again. Now that they're back, and who knows how long, I'm doing this, and I'm really, really excited!    :P ;D :D ;)  

I present... my order of the Azure Omen and the Flamberge V2.  Now I'm all like...

(https://media.giphy.com/media/DpPY7cbiUZPxu/giphy.gif)

First, the Azure Omen, awe man what a masterpiece... I almost just went for the Dark Omen, but that Azure Omen is just so gorgeous I couldn't NOT get that one. Following Prowl1701's lead on this (after I watched his great review video .. thanks, Prowl!), I went for the Tri Adegan Silver as the blade color, making it resemble more of a glowing blade like in the original ThunderCats. I thought it was a great idea, and with QD I still have options to use other more lightsabery-like colors. Emory's original introduction video on it did mention that the cat/eye discs are filters and glow the brightest when red or silver LEDs are used, so I'll be trying Blazing Red as well as maybe Bane's Heart, too.  I also went with Cats on both sides of the discs, but I paid $12 extra to get a pair of the cat EYE discs, too, so I could change it up a bit.

Here are the particulars on the Azure Omen order:
SOUND-AzureOmen   Azure Omen with Obsidian Premium Sound
[Blade LED Color:TRI Adegan Silver]
[Flash on Clash:Flash Arctic Blue]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup with BuckPuck (Batteries Included *ONLY*)]
[Recharge Port:Recharge Port + No Charger]

[Sound:Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]]
[Switch Type:Blue Illuminated Silver AV Switch]
[Back Disc Type:Cat]
[Front Disc Type:Cat]
[Ship Assembled?:No, Ship Disassembled]
[Blade Tip:POINTED TIP]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks]
[Include Blade Plug:No Thanks]
[Include Saber Stand:Yes, Two Piece Saber Stand]
[Include MINI USB Cable:No Thanks]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks]
[Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks]

Next the Flamberge V2 --- awe what a beauty.  At first I was going to go with Emerald and change the side blades with Lee Filters, but Marlena gave some great advice to go with the Diamond controller instead as it doesn't take away any LED color because it has accessory channels that power the side blades, so I can change all three blades to the same color - WOOHOO!! Huge thanks to Marlena for pointing that out to me before getting too far with my order. I do have some Diamond sabers already, but this is my first crossguard saber so this was a huge help! Points to Marlena!  I'll be trying out every color I can, not to mention all the other incredible potential that comes with the Diamond driver.

Here are the particulars on the Diamond Flamberge V2 order:
E-SOUND-Flambergev2   Flamberge v2 with Sound (Diamond)
[Crossguard Main Blade LED Color:Emerald Green for Diamond]
[Crossguard Left Blade LED Color:Emerald Green]
[Crossguard Right Blade LED Color:Emerald Green]
[Left/Right Blade Channel:Channel 4 (Dedicated to AV Switch) [Recommended]]
[Main Blade Type:36" Heavy Grade]
[Left Blade Type:6" Heavy Grade]
[Right Blade Type:6" Heavy Grade]
[Emerald Driver Configuration:4 Channel Emerald Driver - RGBW LED]
[Flash on Clash:Flash Orange for Emerald]
[Pulse Mode:Pulse Off]

[Recharge Port:Recharge Port + No Charger]

[Include Saber Stand:Yes, Two Piece Saber Stand]
[Include MINI USB Cable:No Thanks]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks]
[Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks]
DSC-1783   15% off Sabers with Sound [E-SOUND-Flambergev2][SOUND-AzureOmen]
DSC-1784   Free Random FullSize Grab Bag Saber

Anyway, can't wait to share a review with everyone when I get these incredible masterpieces!
Incredible looking order LB^^  I'm interested in how the cross guard sabers handle  :)

They finally came! My entry sabers, the Electrum Wind and Consular, as well as my Second Place Prize, the Sentinel, and my free Initiate V2 LE!

Congratulations BC EXE!  Beautiful sabers, one and all  :). Heh, your Sentinel is almost an exact duplicate of the Mystery Box I received  ;). Again: awesome score^^

Post by: BladeCrossEXE on August 19, 2017, 01:33:13 PM
Sad to say, of these sabers, the only one I ended up keeping was the Initiate. I got the Electrum for my Faincee, and the Consular for my best friend/groomsman. The prize, I gave to another friend, since he's wanted a saber for a while. Technically, I don't NEED any more sabers, but I can't resist a raffle. If I ended up getting a really good one, like an Archon or a Monarch, then I'd most definitely keep them. But, yeah, spreading the Ultrasabers love!

I'm patiently waiting for my Diamond Renegade LE and Malice Emitter (40 inch bullet point midgrades and 6 inch side midgrade blades)

I made up a poor man's photoshop of what I'm intending it to look like... roughly 28 inches (when I combine the measurements) from the bottom of the hilt to the top large blade...taking into account the blade going into the emitter, I'm thinking it'll be 55 to 60 inches long... a beast... just because MHS allows for it.

god luck lugging that beast anywhere. I own a malice and you know you carried it when you're at a con all day.

Post by: Lord Bladewraith on August 20, 2017, 05:23:57 AM
Interesting MHS mashup. I've got the Malice already, so I'll have to try that when my Flamberge V2 arrives. I had some dueling fun today with the Malice and was reminded of the heftiness of that hilt for sure. 


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Desmond Falakei on August 20, 2017, 06:14:21 AM
I'm looking for a saber with heft and style. This amalgamation came to me as I almost went with the Malice (but wanted a cross hilt saber more). I could also use the Malice on my Dark Mantis. I've always liked the emitter. Just looks mean. :)

My initial thought was.. "Wow, that looks cool!" 

Followed very closely by "I wonder how much that beast weighs?!?"

I have 11 pounds of sabers (6 total) waiting for me at FEDEX, I wonder how many of those it would take equal one of this impressive creation?

Looking forward to seeing the real thing Desmond.  Also a pic of the malice emitter on the dark mantis would be cool.

I'll definitely post some pics and a review.  I've not seen a review of a Diamond Renegade (I'd searched here and on Youtube, figured I could do that too).  Adding the Malice emitter just seems like a lightsaber claymore.  I'm looking forward to it.

That's going to be one impressive beast for sure. Can't wait to hear your actual impressions.

That would be bad-ass but it wouldn't work with the Renegade crossguard piece.

If you have a Renegade I will defer to your experience. But I was under the impression that the Gade had the same basic construction as a Flam. If so, then the claws are merely decorative. The guard is kept in position by the intersection.

Nope, the claws lock the centerpiece in place. You can't have it sans claws, sorry.

I have one short Malice emitter, one War Glaive silver claws emitter and one Scorpion silver Claws emitter.  Thought I would create my own rendition of this concept.  Should be a pretty crazy creation.

After years of patiently waiting I finally ordered my first Ultra Saber on Friday. I went with the Dominix LE4, red with flash on clash (silver), pointed tip, windowed emitter, and the Obsidian V3 soundboard. Gang, I"M SO EXCITED!

I'm checking the status of this thing every 10 minutes. Clearly, patience is not a skill of mine. Hence, the red blade.

Thanks for the heads up. Read and acknowledged now!

While I'm waiting I've decided to play around and "mod" a stunt saber that a friend gifted to me. So, this is a Dominix V2 that I sanded down and made to look a bit weathered.

I'm not sure what to add next, but figured I'd share.

This turned out well! I think for me the red guarded activation switch button stands out especially well, with the weathered appearance of the hilt in the background. Looks really sharp, and I second the opinion with Taegin that the AB or SRD color blade look just right. All of it together looks like it could go on a movie poster. Point well deserved for sure for sharing your work. I have some stunt sabers that I may have to try my hand with this kind of customization on some day.

Patiently waiting for my first Lightsaber purchase in the form of the mystery box! As a sucker of RNG and being forever indecisive about what I want I figured the mystery box saber would be a fun introduction into it all and help me get a grasp on what I'd like in a Lightsaber as well as (hopefully)being a good representation of Ultrasaber's work as a whole. Plan on going to many events with either this one or the purchase it will inspire when Last Jedi is released! Honestly can't stop looking at the tracking for my order!

I ignited it and it didn't make sound so I opened it up to find the speaker not attached to the battery pack. I'm kind of tempted to try and fix myself, so I posted in the tech/customization forum.

Very cool! I love this idea, but then I love Arctic Blue anyway and to have it on a Menace is a fresh idea indeed! Just something to consider, though... if you're not doing Flash on Clash, I would HIGHLY recommend you get the TRI Arctic Blue instead of the regular Arctic Blue. It is so much brighter and overall just a more vibrant shade of Arctic Blue.  It's a $15 upgrade per saber, but well worth it. You can still do it if you reply to the email on your order confirmation at [email protected].

Excellent! You won't regret it. So freaking beautiful that color is!  Makes sense with the V3 sound, as a lot of times I feel like only the main Obsidian sound font is all I need, I mean, it's soooo good as it is. I just thought of something I WISHED I had mentioned before which you might not have considered about the V3 vs. V4 sound and which many, including myself, have found to be quite beneficial... with V4 sound you'd have the option to change it to MUTE mode without plugging it into your PC, so you get the benefit of a stunt saber on the fly if you want to power up your saber without sound on occasion. It's not a must have, but sure is nice to know you have the option. Ok, I'm gonna zip my lips now.  ;D  :-X

Just put in my order for my Initiate V4 LE with Obsidian Lite sound and a Silver AV switch. I asked US if they could balance the color between Violet Amethyst and Dark Violet Amethyst, as I did not want my saber to be too pink nor too blue. Also opted for Silver flash on clash.. very excited for this as it will be my first saber with FOC  ;D

Yeah I think it will. Your only other option besides black, though, is silver anyway. They don't do custom anodizing requests for individual orders. The black underlay ought to provide a really sweet balance with the Arctic Blue.

Really hoping they can pull this off for me.. I feel like it would be a perfect balance of purple. If not I told them to just go with regular Violet Amethyst, as DVA looks a bit too indigo for my liking, especially in pics/vids. Fingers crossed!

If they are unable to fulfill that request, you could also use some LEE filters to alter the color a little with very little loss of brightness.

Here's the link to buy them:

Thoughts on activation box being squared, is it comfortable?

at first, I was a bit concerned with the square box, as it is (was?) the only one offered at the time I ordered, but after getting my hands on it, I find it's not that bad. It fits comfortably between the gaps of my fingers. My hands are a little larger than average, but the hilt is small enough that even with a heavy blade, this saber can be wielded with one hand. I'm extremely happy with this purchase

Regular, I wanted it to be a permanant Double Saber. But it isnt lining up correctly and I recall flat circular threads to correct this. Also Im debating painting the underlay black or using (Aluminum Black) as a quick fix because I thought I ordered the black underlay.

If you go to the My Account section on the UltraSabers website you can review your past orders with all the options you selected. If they sent you the wrong order I'm sure they'll let you send it back and replace it with the correct order

Ok, from looking around on this forum - it seems like we are all about as patient as a kid in a candy store while waiting for our new sabers to come in the mail.  This is the place to vent and let everyone know what you got, why you got it, and in general talk about your new purchase until it arrives and you can start terrorizing your family/girlfriend/dog/friends with it.

I personally just ordered a Pyrestone SS Raven with a set of normal claws also for dueling.  I got the quick disconnect and a Red MLS unit as well because, well, it IS the sith stalker after all!  I also ordered a black vented coupler for my prophecies (or the Raven and a prophecy!) and hopefully for a Raven staff down the road.

The last part of the order was an LED swap for my SRD Standard Issue.  The hilt has a black and silver theme after my striped grip-tape application, and I'm going to change it to have a Adegan Silver blade.  I've always wanted to see a silver saber and it will fit well with the theme. 

To offset the added light-side the blade now has, I'm probably going to attach a Dark War Glaive claw at the emitter when I get it back.  I know, I know.  I'm playing out the single WG claw, but hey - I like it, and I think it will fit well on that saber and balance out the light/dark ratio.

Ok, your turn.

Ready...  Set...     ....    . .           GO!


The Graflex CE with Sound (Diamond) is at my house waiting to be opened  along with two mystery boxes.  And Two emitters   .I'm sitting in Boise Idaho waiting to get loaded to go back to Houston before I can even open the box

SHORT VERSION:

Manticore, Diamond ordered to arrive consular green, silver pulse w/ orange flash on clash.  I liked the emitter and it looked fit to duel.
Guardian, Obsidian Lite Sound arriving guardian blue with arctic blue flash on clash. It looks very impressive and I'm dressing as Obi-Wan for Halloween in the short term, cons in the long term.
Buying two qualified me for a mystery box.  Wanting to have two for dueling, i was persuaded to get the Guardian with the bet that the mystery box with include a saber that is much for fit for dueling than the big G.

LONG VERSION:

So i ordered two days ago and i got my shipping email yesterday.  I chose the free standard shipping and according to the tracking info i can expect my sabers on Thursday, four days from now. 
Saber Choices:
Why the Manticore,
  At the first thought of ordering one, i was thinking that i wanted a saber that looked really cool and intricate with a hi-tech appearance. (And honestly thinking that it had to pass the cannot look like a "jazzed up flashlight" test).  But then i got to thinking that if i actually lived in that World, with my current ethic, my saber would be simple and practical with solid quality and extreme efficiency. In that world, my saber wouldn't be something that i sat around and looked at for its beauty, but instead it would serve as an extension of my being, an instrument upon which my life could depend not to mention the balance of the Force.
With that in, i figured it had to be nice and simultaneously simple/practical. The emitter on the Manticore caught my attention and with the combination of that with an otherwise simple design it spoke to me.  I decided to order a different pommel (Malice Round Pommel) for what i suspect might complete it a bit better for my taste.

Why the Guardian, (other than obviously passing the flashlight test)
The backstory of why i chose Obi-Wan's saber would be even longer than my first explanation so to save you from reading a book about it I'll hit the highlights.  I knew i wanted a real deal Jedi costume for the overall purpose of cons and cosplay with a short term eye on Halloween.  I also knew that would involve me carrying a saber on the belt of the costume which should either match or be custom in my mind.

 At first i was leaning toward Anikan's Clone Wars robes, but i didn't want his saber.  Metaphorically I'm more like Obi than Ani and i like the look his saber much more.  from the YouTube videos people say its more impressive in lights and metal than on the screen so i look forward to it.
What am i doing in the meantime.....reading the forum posts and watching youtube videos trying to figure out which set of saber routines I'm going to practice first. Thanks for reading.

Waiting on a truly custom saber from an individual sabersmith, not sure how much of it I can discuss on this forum cause it has no US parts at all.  Custom paint job is done, electronics/sound install in progress, should hopefully be shipping out this week.  I'll try to sneak it into the background of one my collection pics since it seems that is ok to do around here.

So, our family has five kids.
The youngest loves lightsabers, but he's five and rather likely to break things.
So...."google search 'unbreakable light saber'" because spending more money upfront for an unbreakable to is much better than buying something that gets broken in a month.

I bought the first saber Wednesday night.

....last night, I bought six more.

We (I) decided to go with four Initiate hilts, two Dominix hilts, three quick release couplers, and the free mystery box because of the size of the order.
That way, we have seven swords, or three bo staves (we do a bit of martial arts in the house, the kids like bo staves a lot).

Colors are Green, Blue, Purple, Red, White (tri with disks), Banes heart (pink for the hello kitty child), and the random off the mystery box.
All UltraEdge Heavy (see the top mention about breaking things).
All with lithium ion batteries and the good chargers.

This household is going to go insane when we go from zero to SEVEN lightsabers.
Seven sabers.
Seven.
(Madness ensues)

Go big or go home, right?  ;D  Congrats on your magnificent seven sabers! They sound simply amazing, and though there will be madness it will be madness with delight. Nice call on the heavy grade blades, too. The film inside the blades tend to twist and wrinkle if you duel or otherwise hit things like trees with a midgrade blade, and though the blade is still "usable", it's not as cool.  The HG blades are twice as thick, so a bit heaver, but so worth it for peace of mind that you can go full on when you want to.

I do have a suggestion, based on personal experience, that you buy a swatchbook of LEE Filters to use with the TRI Adegan Silver saber to use instead of the color disks. The color disks SIGNIFICANTLY dim the brightness of the blade because of how thick they are and made of plastic, but the LEE filters are thin like photographic film and will give you a much wider range of color choices.  You can get a swatch book of LEE Filters almost free from here if you put in the coupon code "SWATCH" during checkout:

Lee Filters Swatch Book (http://shop.leefiltersusa.com/Swatch-Book-Designers-Edition-SWB.htm)

And then you can buy a hole punch (much faster, easier and cleaner than cutting out a one inch circle from the filters each time) from here:

EK 1 inch Circle Punch (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C90WM14/ref=pd_aw_sim_201_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SC988GC8YBH6R9AWF5QV&dpPl=1&dpID=71U5QIxmYPL)

Because the hole punch was meant for papers, all you have to do is fold a piece of paper and place the Lee filter in the fold of the paper and then use the hole punch to cut through all three layers.  The paper gives you the more rigid outer shell the hole punch needs and the film in the middle gets a clean cut.  I did a small tutorial video here, but in that example I'm using a large 1 1/2 inch punch (stick with the one inch version for sabers without MHS compatible/removable emitters):

I saw a video on youtube that had a great idea for increasing brightness using Lee filters.  I never thought of this but he hole punched a small hole in the center of the lee filter.  This allowed bright unfiltered light to pass through the very center and still get the color filter effect as the rest of light passes through the filter.

I saw that suggestion, too. I wonder how that would work if you drilled a hole in the center of the color discs. I've got some, I might have to try that some time.

Well, I guess the Mystery Boxes work. My first saber was a Dark Apprentice stunt from a $75 box and was really impressed with the quality. But I wanted more. I NEEDED more. So I just placed an order for an Electrum Wind Diamond. I can't wait to play around with it and see what kind of fun awaits me!

My first order of cheap lightsabers, to include:

  • Initiates and Sentinels (well, and Apprentices/Aeons/Dominixes) as stunt sabers for my martial arts class to train
  • A RGB Aeon V2 LE for myself
  • Initiates and Sentinels as stunt sabers for my friends and family for Christmas presents
  • A Mantis stunt saber for myself
  • 3 mystery box sabers as part of the Autumn sale

I started off getting diamond sabers, because why bother with a stunt saber when you can have a diamond saber!  However after getting a free grab bag saber I realized how convenient it would be for practice to have a training saber, so here I am ordering a bunch of training sabers for practice.

And as I unfortunately learned, if you have 11 stunt sabers in an order, and 1 of the sabers is out of stock, your entire order gets delayed.

(Well, I was given the option of paying extra shipping on the 1 saber or changing it out for one that is in-stock, but still - they won't automatically ship the 10 that are in stock and then include in the shipping price the 1 that is out of stock).

Well I ordered two MB -- ended up with an AEON V4 stunt saber Consular Green LED without windows in the emitter.. 2nd was a Dark Initiate stunt saber Blaze Red LED with windows in the emitter.. at least got two opposite ends of the spectrum, but no pot of gold for me. So I will probably use them as test subjects for my own customizing experiments...

So now am waiting on my newly ordered Chosen One, and an Archon 3.1 .. After they arrive will probably go ahead and order my Graflex.. just cant decide on how far I want to go with the Graflex . Love the look and sounds of an Emerald or Diamond saber.. but with already buying 4 this month...  dont get out to play that often.. and risk the wrath of the wife if she sees how much I spent on my toys this month! Wife is doing Rey for the EP8 premiere, so she will get to carry the Graflex, Son wants do to Kylo.. so just out of convenience might let him use the dark initiate.. but with him feel much better letting him use the plastic toy to be honest.

But decided to get opening night tickets for Ep8 down at Disney Springs and then taking my son and wife to the special event they are having at Hollywood Studios on Saturday night.. except at this point they dont know the specifics -- they know we are going to see it opening night.. but not where and the "afterparty" event.. Did manage to convince them to go in full costume though.. grudgingly since they dont get why they need to go full out for just going to see the movie here in Columbus OH... lol so figuring out how to get them to pack for the weekend should be interesting too... surprises like this can be a pain to pull off..

(im)patiently waiting for my SECOND order...  *sigh*  I thought I had this addiction licked, and now this horrible relapse...  ;-)

So, on the way - Emperor's Hand, VA, ObsLite, chose the angled activation box with a black AV switch and the black button screws in the handle and black pommel.  I wanted to get a good solid "two-tone" feel to the saber hilt.  :-)  Oh, and I got Quick Disconnects.  I was having trouble deciding between VA and SRD, so I ordered the disconnects and figure I can get an SRD LED module in the near future and swap them out when I feel the need. 

So, now have ... five hilts on the way, one a Mystery Box, and that's if I don't win anything in the raffle.  If I get SUPREMELY lucky and win something, that would be SIX....

Man.  I wanted to decorate my office, but this may be a bit overboard....  LOL

Super excited! 2 Dark Brood Guards in SY and DVA, right and left covertecs and clips. If I like what get and I'm sure I will I will use my reward points (since I've now amassed 15 saber's worth) and order a premium set with FOC. The tonfa was my 1st and is my favorite form weapon since I got into martial arts 25 years ago.  I went with no windows so I can paint, damage, weather, leather and whatever them. I just got back on the board and I guess free Photobucket is history, so I downloaded Flickr and will try and get some photo's of them when they arrive and I will try and post some pics in the gallery of some of the other saber's I've gotten or have worked on in the last 8 months. Wish I didn't work 70hrs a week so I could work on my sabers and be on here more , but at least I can buy what I want now. I think I need to work on a costume and think about a new way to display all my sabers.

Wait...15 sabers that put into reward points, or you can buy 15 sabers with your reward points?

I'm in the same boat - wish I wasn't working 70 hours a week, but if I didn't then I couldn't afford the sabers in the first place.

Yeah I'm almost done with my internship so I can get my degree in December, I work 50hrs at my normal job and 15-25hrs a week at my internship. Then I will hopefully have more free time after the holidays. At least I get paid for my intership.

I'm patiently waiting for my Archon V 3.1 to get shipped out and arrive of course.
A sucker for that hilt design since I first saw ROTJ. Will be my second purchase from US and first sound saber.
Specs are Consular Green with the Tri LED setup as per recommended on the V 3.1 of course with Obsidian V4 sound. Silver AV switch, 32" blade as I am fond of that length due to my stature (5'7 slim build) and the classic pommel. My sabers are primarily used for cosplay and when not in use they are a nice display piece. Safe to say once I completed the purchase I have been anxiously awaiting for it to be shipped lol. Then again aren't we all like that when waiting for something you really want to finally have in your hands?  ;D

yes, yes we are. that is the same hilt I chose for the group's raffle next month. since we are in the market for a profit I chose lite sound and single led. but I did get the plug and clip since the new owner may want the belt candy aspect.

The Aeon v4 without windows is one of the best spinning sabers.  Even if it wasn't a huge dollar value win over the Mystery Box price, it's not a bad saber!

Oh no I love the look and feel of it, I was just commenting from the prospect of "winning the lottery" and hitting something like what I had build on my wishlist..
I liked what I got well enough I immediately ordered a chosen one, and then grabbed an Archon 3.1 with sound when it was the "deal of the day" saber. And it is perfect. After I showed it to my son, and then let him try out the dark initiate.. he asked if he could have it for his sith costume / and use so I ordered another Dark initiate with sound and a coupler to combine with the mystery box one to make a staff out of it since he wanted a double bladed saber.  The Aeon will also be a test project for me to try my hand with a little customization / personalization. I see no negative at all in my mystery boxes.. I just didnt stumble into an emerald saber etc...


And now I can say I am patiently (sort of) waiting for my Graflex CE to arrive!

The Second place raffle prize is a random hilt, random blade color, random features, and random soundboard

Holy hell sir - that's a serious pile of sabers.  Are these all for you, or did you cash in early for a bunch of awesome stocking stuffers for people?

Yeah I'm antsy about my order shipping as well - I got 3 Mystery Sabers for my order, and won a 4th Place Raffle prize of a random Grab Bag - I'm wondering if I'll even be able to tell which is the Grab Bag vs. the Mystery Boxes lol

This is just the order that hung out at Ultrasabers until the raffle was over.  The 10 initiate/apprentice sabers have already arrived, and the 9 I ordered for stocking stuffers have also arrived ;)

My plan is to "get gud" and then start teaching classes.  At the very least, we may be opening a weapon's club at my martial arts school, and if we do, then nunchaku, bo staff, and sword will probably be standard weapons used, and I want to use lightsabers and the 3-section staff as special extra-fun options.

Man...that's a pretty brilliant way to attract people to the classes for sure - "Learn Martial Arts / Self Defense, learn sword techniques with a Light Saber!"

That's awesome.

They'll either be used as part of our "weapon's club" (in which case I think Disney would find it hard to shut us down) or I would simply avoid using the words "Star Wars" or "Lightsaber" in the name.  I think as long as you do that you're okay.  After all, we have on this forum members of the TPLA, or Terra Prime Light Armory, which seems to be doing okay (and I plan on learning as much as I can from them before I start teaching my own).

You do know the old adage about looking at it too often?

I know of several, but when you are performing 8 Hour continuous test's at work and all you have is saberforum, facebook, and youtube to keep you occupied it tends to make the wait even worse.

SHIPPED! Should have them Saturday and the ol lady can make an Unboxing video.. I'm sure she'd receive way more views then me lol

*Drums fingers impatiently*

Processing, processing, processing...

I'm altogether too impatient :D I just want it out the door so FedEx can do their shipping magic over the weekend, as otherwise I suspect it'll land in the UK on Friday and I won't get it 'til the following week.

Still, this is what this topic is for. I try and restrain myself to one post a day, usually. Well, sometimes. Well, in theory...

James if you see this perhaps you or Prowl could start the newest raffle winner thread so that those related sabers are directed mostly to one central place... as we usually do.  Thanks.  :)

Well apparently my Lost Gray is living up to its name... it is now apparently lost.. USPS claims it is "delayed" however it was shipped at the same time as some other parts I ordered from US on the same day... the little box of parts arrived Wednesday.. tracking number on Gray said it would be here wednesday... and it hasnt been scanned or identified where it is in the last 3 days.... so Im going with LOST at this point.

The saber and the parts were two separate orders? Or were in the same box? If they were in 2 separate boxes I can believe that they could arrive at different times. If it was one box, thats not a good sign at all. Either way that sucks Smfgt11

They were two seperate orders, but they both shipped from US on the same day.. the parts order shows regular check in location scans as it moved from Texas to me in Ohio... The Lost Gray however has just shown "In Transit" with no location for the last 3 days... THAT has me concerned that they dont even list where it is....The tracking for the parts order:
November 20, 2017, 11:40 pm  Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility
November 21, 2017, 9:40 am  In Transit to Destination
November 22, 2017, 2:43 am  Arrived at USPS Regional Destination Facility COLUMBUS OH DISTRIBUTION CENTER
November 22, 2017, 4:47 am  Departed USPS Regional Facility COLUMBUS OH DISTRIBUTION CENTER
November 22, 2017, 6:36 am  Arrived at Post Office
November 22, 2017, 7:11 am  Sorting Complete
November 22, 2017, 7:21 am  Out for Delivery
November 22, 2017, 9:57 am  Delivered, Left with Individual

Now the tracking history for the Lost Gray...
November 20, 2017, 7:06 pm  Departed Post Office
November 20, 2017, 9:23 pm  Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility NORTH HOUSTON TX DISTRIBUTION CENTER
November 21, 2017, 9:23 am  In Transit to Destination
November 21, 2017, 9:23 pm  In Transit to Destination
November 22, 2017, 9:23 am  In Transit to Destination
November 22, 2017, 9:23 pm  In Transit to Destination
November 23, 2017, 9:23 am  In Transit to Destination

and then tonight this shows up on the end of the tracking history:
The package is delayed and will not be delivered by the expected delivery date. An updated delivery date will be provided when available. The item is currently in transit to the destination as of November 23, 2017 at 9:23 am.

I guess the part that bothers me the most is none of its updates show a scan or actual location... that tells me it HASNT been scanned since it arrived at the Houston Distribution Center... and it left BEFORE the parts or package...

I left with the family on Tuesday for a road trip to the Six Flags in San Antonio, wanted to leave at 1 pm but delayed this for an hour and a half since USPS sent notice they were out for delivery of my sabers since 8 am that morning.  Wife would no longer wait and getting caught in Houston traffic also a concern so we left at 2:30 pm.  35 minutes later at 3:05 pm, I get a text message that USPS tried to delivery the package.  ::)  Returned yesterday and was worried the post office would not be open today on Black Friday but they were, so showed up at 6 am this morning to pick up my sabers.  Glorious, been playing with them for about 5 hours straight now!

Put in an order for a pommel and emitter today too.  So major wait over, minor wait beginning.

Decided on the Lost Gray diamond as my first (hopefully of many) and purchased on Sunday for the black Friday sale. So anxious to get it I keep checking the status of my order every few hours. "Has it shipped yet, has it shipped yet?!...still processing..." Didn't realize I ordered my saber with a side of stress.

I guess I have to patient and just look at my empty sword stand wistfully...

On a side note, is it relatively easy to uninstall the covertec wheel and replace it with a different color covertec wheel?

Actually it was two separate orders from several days apart -- shipped out on the same day a few hours apart.. the 1st box was parts for a stunt Im adding on to... the second was the Lost Gray.. We are now at day 11 and it is still showing "in transit to Marysville Ohio" after going to Houston, then in transit for 3 days, then back to Houston, now back to in transit for days again....

This Old Broad with a Dog is waiting for her Catalyst with Diamond Sound (though I'm a bit worried about the software with some of the reactions).  Ordered Monday and still processing.  Patience is a virtue.  In the mean while watching the great spin vids by Darth Cephalus.  Getting the figures 8's down and working on the behind the back.  Using a very nice Aeon V4 that I got from a mystery box. 

Has it been shipped yet, has it been shipped yet...  Ahh back to work...

I had the same thing happen before (USPS I'm guessing). I went and raised hell at the post office and it just happened to be in the back waiting. The worse thing for me is I have to take off work to dream with the Post Office.

I had the same thing happen before (USPS I'm guessing). I went and raised hell at the post office and it just happened to be in the back waiting. The worse thing for me is I have to take off work to dream with the Post Office.

Yep, And the original "delivery date" was Nov 22 --- Little beyond that now... not sure what's going on with it on their end.. US customer service mentioned when it came back to their post office they would check on it to see what the problem was and send it back out probably by Fed Ex .. guess that didnt happen as I havent heard anything from them either.

Well I wanted to say yay.. but upon unwrapping the lost Lost Gray .. I start checking it out and it has a big scratch/gouge in the side of the hilt... so now not happy after waiting 14 days and then it gets here damaged.. this doesnt look like shipping damage -- it was bubble wrapped quite well .. guess its back to US support...  :(

Smfgt11 - I had a 10 yr old boy that was visiting recently terrorized my saber collection scratching up nearly every hilt.  Lord Blaidwraith recommended the Maas Metal Polish you can get on Amazon for like $8 bucks.  It works like a charm and buffs out the nastiest scratches.  I hope this helps a little?

I entertained that thought at first .. but since I just pulled it out of the bubble wrap and its pretty nasty...

And then nothing after Dec 1 -- now Dec 3 --

I must admit -- my patience is being worn very thin.... I had intended to order another saber on the current speciall.. but I have difficulty spending money to order another one, when the most expensive one I have ordered to date has not arrived..

That sucks. I am currently going through something similiar, non saber related with USPS right now.

Well US Csupport asked for pictures of the box and to send it back to them ... the box wasnt pierced .. but it obviously took a  hell of a hit .. guess I missed that in my excitement of opening it up... And they did assure me it didnt leave their shop with that mark on it.. So Im sending it back... also noticed some wierd things not working right with the Diamond controller... not working as intended I believe.. and with an impact like that I have my concerns about shock damage to the boards....

I'm not accusing anyone of shenanigans, but as an engineer and someone that has extensive experience in packaging (as well as getting sabers ;D), with the amount of bubble wrap they use and no puncture to the cardboard, that mark was there before packaging. Was there an area of damaged bubble wrap?


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Smfgt11 on December 05, 2017, 03:18:49 PM
There were two pretty good damage spots on the box .. the one I shared was the worst of the two and my photo angle wasnt the best .. but looking at it now .. the box is kind of banana shaped.... but to answer your question...

Actually yeah.. the bubble wrap is was completely "popped" along that side of the hilt before I even unwrapped it .. maybe its just me but you can kind of see the bubble wrap "dented" in the spot on the saber right where the mark is (arrow)... and you can see a lot of the bubbles busted on that side... I just have lots of bubble wrap laying about since I re use it for my own shipping needs and cant 100% say today which one was wrapped around the Lost Gray..

(https://i.imgur.com/CdP5nsc.jpg?1)

when you see the full size of this image .. you can see many places in the bubble wrap ripped / jabbed all along the axis of that spot ..
https://imgur.com/CF9LvGa


Either way  Im not going to lose my mind over it -- they are going to take care of it for me at no cost to me .. my only loss is not having it for the Ep8 premiere event ... but its not like I dont have a few other choices available to me.. lol -- but this is my first diamond saber.. soooooo it's the "fancy" one lmao...

That does indeed suck. Maybe you can........drag your feet in shipping it back till after the movie? ::) ;D

It's possible that the damage was incurred during shipping, but (a) that would have been a helluva hit, and (b) I would have expected a lot more damage to the box in order to produce a gouge like that. I might also suspect that the damage occurred after wrapping but before boxing. I can't imagine that whoever assembled the saber would have done so with that kind of flaw.

What else is in that roll?

Nothing but the Lost Gray.. and you can definitely tell the bubble wrap is lopsided / squished on the damaged side...
but naah I would rather get it fixed .. not like I dont have a few others to choose from.. And since Im doing the "generic jedi" outfit I think the Archon will work well.. And the Lost Gray doesnt seem right to carry until I have the Fulcrum to go with it ....

Missed that. Why not do the Flex instead for movie night?

Also, before sending it back (you'll want to confirm) but you might save on shipping by taking the blade off.

Yep that was their directive to remove the blade.. its already on its way back... and I just looked Fulcrum is the "deal of the day" saber .... And they have the Christmas raffle up .. >< But that guarantees any saber I order and use as a raffle entry .. will not be here until the new year ... such cruelty... gaaah

Seeing as I also ordered a Lost Gray, these recent posts terrify me.

My saber is suppose to arrive sometime tomorrow, less than 24 hours. It's been one of the longest 9 days in recent memory.

Wonder if I can use my fear and anxiety to apply force speed it to me faster.

Probably not, but it will help you raze FedEx when it comes to light that they lost it.

It's finally here! FedEx has not disappointed me and thus will not be Force Choked into oblivion.

Will post pics (once I learn how to do that) and will be doing a review video in the next few days.

Thankfully no gouges on the hilt, though the pommel area looks right at the bottom has a few scratches when it was machined but no one will notice unless I screw off the default pommel.

11/10 would buy again.

Currently thinking of what to call it, Lost Gray is nice but it's mine now and doesn't look like the default.

I would go through imgur. It's so simple even I could figure it out. Then just insert the link with the image tool (the 2nd button on the bottom row. (http://saberforum.com/Themes/Dark-f/images/bbc/img.gif))

Yes I will have to agree with Darth Logos, imgur works great and even I could figure it out -- pretty much drag and drop to their site once you set up your free account and it even makes the links for you to just copy and paste into your post.

I gave in to the temptation, went ahead and ordered a Diamond Fulcrum to go with my Lost Gray -- and also will have to try and learn patience once again as that order was a winter raffle entry order.. so it wont be here for a while....

I am also waiting impatiently to see what comes out of a couple of mystery boxes I purchased as Christmas gifts.  Some friends of mine lost their sabers (along with almost everything else) to Hurricane Harvey earlier this year.  I purchased a couple of mystery boxes for them after hearing their 10 year old being upset about having no saber to play with when we were making plans to see The Last Jedi.  I am going to present them with the mystery boxes this week and I can hardly wait.

Thank you much.  That’s very kind of you.

We’ve been helping these friends out as much as we can.  We know many people who lost everything and our house was just a a few feet higher so we were spared.  Just luck.  These friends evacuated to our house, and stayed with us for a few weeks while they found a rental house and started rebuilding their lives.  Hard year for Houston area folks.

This was something I could do to bring some fun into a very hard year.  Can’t afford to give them awesome decked out sabers,  I can do mystery boxes!

Ordered my first lightsaber (well some parts anyway haha) way back in march. I ordered the dark war glaive body and emitter with a consular pommel, and look forward to their arrival. Though given how long i've been waiting for them now (due to backorder), i've decided any future part ordering I do I'll be definitely trying to avoid another backorder XD Hope they show up soon. Until then, I've been playing with my brother's saber hilt he has and trying to decide how long I want the blade portion for mine to be for when I make the order for the blade and the internal components. I still can't decide haha

And that kid is gonna be so excited when you give his family the mystery boxes :D

On Friday I get to order my Reaper.  Will be getting a different pommel, as well. (Had originally thought of going Scorpion, but really wanted the other pommel. It would have looked a bit odd on the larger diameter Scorpion. I also like the claw on the Reaper better.) Won't reveal color or pommel until I get and review it.  3.5 more days!

Nickel plated Monarch w/obs V4 in Tri-AB for raffle sake. This is the first saber I've bought with Nickel and probably the first one I've bought with no plans for it. Hopefully I'll be able to grab some time soon to finish my Brood Guards and the display box I've been working on. I also have a costume with a new robe from JRA that I'm yet to really put on and enjoy. Well here's to a Happy New Year to you all and hopefully a little more time for my favorite hobby.

Very excited for my mystery box! Ordered it on the 29th and its still in the processing stage but thats just the nature of the holiday season. I was sort of letting the people at US decide where I start my RP character be it light side or dark with whatever hilt/color they send me but I am highly considering getting a flamberge v2 right now as well while the raffle is going on. Have yet to really decide but I know that I only have one day to think it over. We will see. I have been sitting here with my Flamberge customized on the website for like three days now and just need to pull the trigger (or should I say ignite the blade.)

I wanted to wait on getting the cross saber until I got my mystery box because I would feel real silly if I got it in the mystery box and then had two or much more likely, got my mystery saber and liked it more then I could save myself the money for the flamberge. My flamberge V2 idea was getting the blade to be Consular Green without sound with a 40" heavy ultraedge blade and 6" heavy side blades also in C green. With this I wanted to make a light side character and sort of hoping for a nice dark side blade for my mystery box.

I made an order on the 18th (not mystery box) and it still says processing lol.
I honestly have no idea as to when to expect it. Which kinda sucks, but what else can I do?

I made an order on the 18th (not mystery box) and it still says processing lol.
I honestly have no idea as to when to expect it. Which kinda sucks, but what else can I do?

I never was diagnosed with the H in ADHD when I was younger. I just had ADD, aka (if in my own head) "the lazy kid's version."

Now though, one of my friends says I have ADOSS.

"Attention Deficit ... Oooh, Somethin' Shiny."

I guess there's a reason I tend to keep 10+ tabs open on my browser...  :D

Nearing end of day fourteen and still no word, hopes for rescue grow dim, beginning to contemplate cannibalizing broken GRDE CREE headlamp (research seems to show " CREE XM-L2") and learning to solder.
(felt like being a bit dramatic)

Speaking of, anybody point me towards some idiotproof guides to soldering?
Preferably with either lots of pictures and/or video.

Perfectly normal, and they aren’t prepackaged! :] This is the holiday season, with a Star Wars movie that just came out, and a raffle that just ended. It sounds like they’re still right on target with their estimated 6-10 business days, with everyone reporting about a 15 day wait. 2 years ago when TFA was released, sabers kept going out of stock and the wait time was something like a month

I've always been one for simplicity and practicality, so after browsing all the hilts my eyes kept coming back to the Standard Issue Battle Saber v3. Got it with an Obsidian Lite Soundboard, Raven Normal Pommel, Black Non-Illuminated AV Switch, Covertec Wheel (rear, silver), and an UltraEdge Heavy Grade Blade. I'm definitely interested in getting into dueling and not too far from Ann Arbor where Terra Prime Lightsaber Academy is so wanted to see how it feels and I might grab another one without all the bells and whistles to be a practice/dueling hilt.

I see. OK.

Guess I saw that video with the black guy and all those packages, and thought they had a bunch of stock sitting around.

Again, I'm feverish and not really thinking right.

They keep a stock of the hilts, but all of the internals aren’t put together until the order is made since everyone wants something different. If there are any prepackaged sabers, it’s probably for things like grab bags or mystery boxes :] Hope you feel better!

My first mystery box finally shipped. Very unexpectedly, I was fully prepared for it to be closer to or in February, due to the SHEER volume of orders US has received.

For example, I ordered two mystery boxes two days apart, and there's a 1400 order number difference between the two.  Speaking with another forumite who ordered mere days before I did, his order number was several thousand below mine!  If I'm correct in assuming the order numbers are sequential then I do not envy the task ahead for Ultrasabers.

As for my mystery box I'm actually hoping for an initiate v4 or apprentice v4.  I really like those hilts.

both orders were raffle entries with a mix of mystery box, grab bag, and specific sabers. plus free initiates and a raffle prize saber and a free mystery box in one.

Ok, something odd is happening. bB possibly remembers the WW from the Monroe Comicon. Well, she finally decided to pull the trigger on her WW Jedi mash-up, and took me up on the offer to lend a saber. I'm loaning her my Shock LE in FO, and she is purchasing a whip blade (from an undisclosed vendor) to sub for the Lariat of Truth. The odd thing is, I'm just as excited about sending a saber off as I would be to be about getting one. O_o

Add me to the impatient crowd though I totally understand the back up. I ordered a Graflex CE and a MB on the 26th and it's still processing. Along with the order volume issues, I assume the Graflex takes some extra time for the buttons, etc to be added ... and they have to install Emerald and Obsidian components.

I'm also hoping my raffle reward grab bag will be shipped with them. I'm not sure I'd survive more waiting. 

The good news is that Ultra Sabers is essentially giving me a second Christmas morning when the package arrives!!!

Which saber did you order? While I'm not in any position to tell you what to do, I will say US sabers are amazing and worth the wait! They're only backed up from the holidays, the raffle, and the hype from The Last Jedi

I ordered on the 25th, same boat here bud. Hopefully we will both get a Notification soon. It definitely has tested my patience, I’ve spoken to Savannah in customer service and she reassured me that my order would be filed but that they were really backed up from the holidays as everyone has said. So hang tight! I personally have an apprentice LE that I can fiddle with for the time being, and that has held my needs at bay.

FYI... got email notification today that my raffle order placed on 12/28 shipped. I assume that includes all of the holiday sale items for a $500+ purchase (plug, spinner, t-shirt, Initiate).  Can't complain at all; that falls right into the 6-10 business days fabrication time that was indicated.

I also have a 1/02 Mystery Box order that is still processing. I expect to get notification next week.

I feel sorry for dcamp who placed on 12/22 but I'm sure there are reasons.

I presume they're kicking out as many of the small orders out 1st to knock out as many as possible before getting to the multiple hilt orders.
hoping those start shipping next week.

I’m not too sure on that. I’ve seen where people who ordered mystery boxes several days after mine are getting their shipping notifications and I have yet to get mine. It would be nice to know what their procedures are on handling such a large amount of orders, but I suppose to an extent that’s really none of our business.

It would be nice to know what their procedures are on handling such a large amount of orders, but I suppose to an extent that’s really none of our business.

I think that can be accounted for IF they actually have a system for mystery boxes. Like if there’s a saber generator that gets applied to each MB order. If that’s the case, and a saber that gets applied to your order is out of stock, perhaps that’s what causes the orders being shipped out of order. Or maybe they just have different people handling different orders and some get finished faster. All just speculation

First time saber twirler here. I took the plunge last week and placed my first order - Initiate LE V4 in Consular Green - and I'm excited and nervous in equal measure. I don't know what to expect with all this talk of backlogs, but I am hoping I get the magic email soon, because I can't wait to get my hands on that saber!

I'm from England, so much of the nervousness is about the long journey my little beauty will have to make once it is shipped.

yes, think that happened during TFA a lot of hilts went out of stock.  quite a few of us kept updating every day or two. shouldn't be as bad for the Solo movie...but you never know.

It didn't seem so bad last year for Rogue One either, but I wasn't as active around this time last year because of school. Maybe these Star Wars story films dont generate as much lightsaber hype as the main films.

Ezra in Rebels did have a lightsaber/blaster weapon. Kanan also had a blaster at his side in Rebels too. but there are plenty of prop blasters out there so not sure if US would bring that into a "combat lightsaber" company. as it is pretty much their slogan.

A Brood Guard is almost a blaster. Imagine a blaster prop with a 3-4 inch "blade". When you pull the trigger, the "blade" lights up an makes the blaster sounds via Obsidian/Emerald or Diamond board. So the trigger is a momentary AV switch? I give this idea 100% to US with no claim to copyright or royalty if they choose to pursue it.

Wow, that sucks. Does this happen often? (I'm in the UK, so no very little about the US postal service)

Damn, as if the waiting wasn't hard enough, now I gotta worry about this too.

Waiting is hard. Worrying is a waste of time; you can't do anything about it.

Recap: Placed a raffle qualifying order on the 28th; it shipped 1/12 with ETA 1/16. Ordered 3x MB on 1/2; so far no notifications, but I would expect it to ship 1/19 or 1/22.

Ordered mine on the 31st, but because it was in the raffle I'm assuming my process time didn't start until 1/2. That means 8 business days has passed. Should just be one more week to see what my grab bag prize is! ;D

Hi all. There is hope believe me. My second order, from the 30th got shipped yesterday (15th). It should hit Switzerland on the 18th. Chosen One SE Obsidian V4 blazing red 36” blade in the box. (Hopefully😉)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: DaddyFlip on January 16, 2018, 10:48:21 PM
More hope for you guys. My 12/28 order delivered today despite our receiving nine hours of snow overnight and this morning. FYI... we don't receive snow in my part of the country, so the inch that stuck shut down all schools and universities in three states. A snow day is a good day to get a package in the mail. Shown is my main order of an Azure Menace with Diamond card, silver emitter insert with windows, silver AV switch with blue illumination, charge port, and 36" UG blade.  This drew free shipping, blade plug, spinner, t-shirt, and a free Dark Initiate V4 running 4-AAA batteries. What I really like about the Initiate is the black guarded switch with a blue anodized button, which matches the blade color - I wasn't expecting this and it really adds something to the hilt. I don't think I knew this was one of the Initiate options, but it is cool. I'm happy with my order and getting it wrapped up for birthday present. Now (im)patiently waiting on my 3x mystery box order to ship.

I hate to burst your bubble but I ordered on the 26th, and I’m looking at day 14 before it ships

I ordered on the 31st and am almost certain it stated allow 6-10 business days at the time.

It did, they had to bump it up because of the sheer volume of orders. Mystery boxes may be taking longer because of the more affordable hilts being ordered outright and I would assume they want everyone to have the same odds to keep up the fun vibe to it, they do have to build every mystery box and wrap them beforehand to have them ready to grab and go

Welllllllp...tomorrow is supposed to be the day the MB arrives, but I have a scrap of hope it will arrive today (since I’m off today and here to sign whereas I’ll be at work all day tomorrow  :-[ )

Ordered the 25th for those who are still holding on.

Can’t wait to find out what’s in there and to share (potentially heavy) pictures. The patience has almost paid off!

Mine was ordered the 27th, but late in the afternoon, and with the holidays going on, so I consider the 28th my first day and today is the 14th day for processing, so I'm hopeful it's going to be shipped but with this crazy weather we've been hit with, I was hoping it's getting here next week around Wednesday or Thursday next week, but I feel it'll be delayed further until the weather gets better.

My niece ordered it for me, and she's been asking if it came in, and I told her if she gets a shipping notice to let me know when or if it ships.

I'm still pretty stoked to get my first light saber, so I hope the wait will be worth it.

Well, January 19th will be my 14th day of handling/processing, so I'm hoping my Mystery Box gift ordered for me will ship.

If it ships out tomorrow, I can expect it by Friday the 26th at the latest.

Anything after that, I'll know something's up.

I will be happy with whatever I receive, but after this wait, I'm hoping I'll get something really cool to me. Catalyst or Prophecy will be totally awesome, but whatever it is, it'll be cool.

No, I have not emailed them.

My lightsaber is a gift from my niece and I told her earlier this week if she gets a shipping notice, let me know so I can then constantly check shipping updates every other second and make the wait even more agonizing for me, lol!

I'm optimistic that it will arrive next week. I'm thinking we have had a perfect storm of circumstances making these delays happen.

1. The new movie coming out.
2. Crazy Xmas rush.
3. Economy on the uptick.
4.The sale and raffle.
5. Many, many multiple item orders and new customers because of the raffle and sale.
5. This crazy weather!

So, with all that in mind, that does help temper my impatience, but I'm still pretty excited since it's my first lightsaber and with the rush US has been going through, it's pretty much to be expected.

Hate to make this post but at this point I'm a little frustrated. I ordered a phantasm V3 staff (CG) with a grab bag purple on Christmas day. I've had no response, even though I've emailed ultrasabers customer support twice (January 9 and 13). At this point I almost want to cancel my order, but my order has been in the "final steps of processing" for the entirety of my waiting time. Anyone else awaiting shipment updates? I was in the winter raffle, but I was of the understanding that those orders would be sent out after January 2nd?

Thanks everyone for any advice/tips/help you might be willing to send my way.

I ordered a Dark Apprentice LE v4 on 12/28 in the early morning, i got it with a 36 inch blade and had next to none of the customization (trying to save money). I was excited because I'm going to order another lightsaber later because my friends and I are making a fanfilm this summer. It's been about 17 business days and over 3 weeks since I ordered it. I'm still (im)patiently waiting for an email saying it shipped. It's been in "final stages of processing" since at least 1/5.

sorry that this was kinda a rant, just really excited and have already annoyed my friends about my saber enough.

Haven't had an update, but Friday was the 14th business day, so I'm kinda expecting mine in this upcoming week.

I figure a few days for shipping, and maybe it'll arrive by January 26th.

Mine was ordered late in the afternoon (2:30-ish) on December 27, so I think day 1 of my order after it was received was the 29th.

We're going to have a bunch of new saber day threads and reviews real soon, and I'm looking forward to seeing what myself and everyone else received.

I think the shipping option you choose has an effect.  My order on the 29th I chose 2-Day fedex and it was relativley quick.  My order from the 27th was standard USPS.

Just the other day I ordered a Flamberge, and compared the order numbers with my mystery boxes.  The difference in order numbers between my earliest mystery box and my latest order is around 9000, meaning there's around that many orders they're trying to process.

I was thinking that also. Many new orders and new customers with the sale and raffle going on also really spurred the sales.

I wonder what the overall ratio of hilts per order would be.

With all the unboxing videos I have watched on YouTube featuring from usually 2 up to 10 sabers at a time, I figure it's at least 2 or 3 sabers per order overall company wide.

So that's a whole bunch of units being moved.

From a business sense, Ultrasabers being flooded with orders and having to be working so hard to keep up with the demand is a good problem to have!

Disney $$$$$$ is good $$$$$$.

That is huge for the brand. If US is a vendor for Disney, you know they have got to be doing something right!

A thought occurred to me. Feel free to tell me I'm way off if I am indeed way off.

There seems to be a bit of fluctuation with people getting shipping notifications before others who ordered before them. I was wondering, might that have anything to do with the amount of customisation on the hilt? You'd think more work would need doing on hilts that needed different AV switches or covertecs added, for example.

Just thinking out loud.

I was wondering, might that have anything to do with the amount of customisation on the hilt? You'd think more work would need doing on hilts that needed different AV switches or covertecs added, for example.

Just thinking out loud.

It is quite possible.

the number of hilts ordered can come into play as well.
if you can put out only a certain amount of hilts a day, it would make sense to kick out as many small orders first. if you make 5 hilts an hr you ship out 5 orders of one hilt compared to one order of 5 hilts. kill as many as possible first.

I keep seeing unboxing vids on YouTube, from people that ordered in January.

I ordered my first saber (Dark Initiate LE v4) on December 26th, and it finally shipped on the 12th. I live in the same city as Ultrasabers so I it said expected delivery December 13th. It never came and is stuck 'In-Transit, Delayed' on the tracking. It's been ten days since it shipped. Has this been happening to other people?

I'm very impatiently waiting for it and it's all I think about lol I just want to know if I should consider it gone

Yeah, kinda in the same boat as well. Today is my 14th business day and I still haven't received any notification yet.

But still, has anyone here had their order(s) ship on their 14th business day, or the day after? Should I expect a notification today or no? (Probably not since as I'm typing this, it's almost 5 pm in my area, but I'm still curious.)

Still trying to impatiently wait lol, but if I don't hear anything by the end of tomorrow, I think I'll probably just email their customer service.

Ordered on the 30th of Dec and nothing yet for me :( I have emailed US twice with no response yet. Moved this weekend(had to unexpectedly) and am trying to get in touch with US to get my address updated on my order since it still shows as processing.

Hopefully I get a response from them or notification that my order has shipped so I can check my old address.

Mine was ordered for me, and there wasn't any shipping notice or anything. Based on my experience, you may bet yours within this week. Mine was ordered late afternoon on the 27th, so luck may be with you.

Sorry you hit a rough patch, hope it gets better for you.

Interesting note. I emailed the great and wonderful Marlena at US customer service on Friday and she just emailed me back tonight (Monday) mentioning at one point they printed out and weighed just the mystery box saber orders and it weighed over 6 pounds. And they keep coming...

This happened to me, mine was stuck in shipping for about 8 days and I finally received it yesterday. Just give it time, it will show up. USPS is trashbright now, and I will no longer use them as my shipping option for my US purchases.

Today is officially 1 month since I've ordered--still processing.  Conservatively (not counting holidays or even weekends) it's been 19 business days.  I was told in an email that at the time of my order it could be a lead time of 6-10 days (or more).  At no point was the 'or more' anywhere notated, but whatever.

I ordered a diamond Archon 2.1 and won 4th place in the raffle.

If the raffle is what is causing things to take this long then I wish I'd never even entered.

My patience has officially run out.

Yes Fedex does but they also allow you to sign electronically on their site.  Not sure if USPS does that as well, I've yet to see an option.

I made my first order with US on Jan. 11 so I know I'm still in for a bit of a wait (14 business days puts me at Feb.1). Just a couple of Mystery boxes to start off with, but I can see this becoming quite the obsession. I totally understand the nervous anticipation others have expressed of receiving your order, this is going to be quite the test in patience. Why, oh why didn't I know about this great company sooner!

Hi all, so I am very new to this and placed my first order on January 2nd, just one $75 mystery box and am so excited to receive it!! No shipping notice yet, but I am hopeful to receive one by the end of this week hopefully. I was just curious if there was anyway for me to upgrade from USPS to FedEx because all these horror stories about shipments being stuck in shipping is starting to worry me. If not no big deal I'm just curious!  :)

Update:  Tag has been created for my 3 Aeons. (Ordered on Dec. 28th)  I imagine it will get picked up and shipped out in the morning like usual.  I will probably be able to pick it up on Saturday as I live in TX and USPS (although garbage) typically gets the packages to my home town within a 2 days then they "Attempt Delivery" and leave a pick up ticket in my mailbox... awesome...

The good news is that they are catching up everyone.  Slowly but surely.  I can only imagine what great stuff will be in store for all of us now that they have had this surge in sales!  With an influx of cash like this, we may see some truly stellar new sabers in the near future now that they have some potential budget for R&D.

I really just wish Emory or someone else from US would post a formal message on the forums or send an email explaining why they are delayed and give an estimated time frame to get caught up. The only information we've gotten is second hand from customers.

I'd also like to see an explanation as to why some customers are getting their orders fulfilled before customers who ordered before them. I ordered on the 26th and multiple people have posted here saying their orders have shipped despite ordering a few days after me. And bigBear ordered at least a few days before I did and is still waiting (as far as I know).

In today's world, transparency and communication are key for smallish e-commerce players and US hasn't done a good job in those areas during this period. For the sake of their customers and their brand, I implore Emory and US to provide the community with some information regarding the ongoing inventory/shipping issues.

if you like, I'm sure staff be happy to repeat themselves repeatedly if you'd be willing to delay YOUR order every time someone chimes up about the wait time.
they are overwhelmed with orders currently, you've heard this. they are trying to kick out as many orders as possible to catch up, this means shoving as many orders out per day as possible. to do that it is smart to get all the single hilt orders first to catch up. you've heard this. yes, a lot of us are frustrated but we ordered when a lot of things are going on, movie rush, holiday rush, sale and raffle.
but we do have a community here willing to share the info they know with others. and yes, we do repeat ourselves sometimes. but we still do it for the community and it helps the company out so they can focus on kicking out as many orders as they humanly can.

thank you and will do I have a YouTube channel that I am starting so it will be up on that. I've looked up reviews and heard nothing but positive remarks regarding US. that's what made me choose them over other competitors.

Bit harsh considering he made valid points. I still have no idea what a good estimate of time is, and no one would send a email making them ask if emery or emory(im not sure) made a quick video explaining it on facebook, and you could easily refer people to the video instead of giving a half baked estimate when theres people from january and people from christmas time getting sabers. From a buisness standpoint thats a fair argument to make. I mean one dude making a quick 15 second-5 min video would only use up a hours worth of time.  Im not sure why but i just felt like you were being semi unnessecarrily harsh to the guy for a valid critique, and ive been following the forums for awhile now and you havent been like this with anyone else lol. Im sure the waits getting to you like everyone else but dont go tossin off those jedi robes for all black now :D Im sure he was just venting his frustration like you were here. So lets all be friends ok?

but he stated he already knows the issue from us on the forum. I'm sure the majority rather have that time spent getting the orders out. it's also the obvious reason there's no promotions currently. like I said, why have the staff repeat what's already known and has been said? it's why we have mods and those of us who have been around for some time.
it should be obvious that the staff is also putting in overtime as well. they are worn out, tired and more than likely trying to have a life outside of work as well. so it is selfish to ask they take more time to explain what's already been said.
 yes, we're all a little frustrated waiting longer than usual and beyond the time stated, they're doing the best they can in a way to catch up and get everyone their order.
 keep in mind they are more than likely just as frustrated that they are this backed up and I say kudos for so few hilts out of stock compared to the E7 release. since I was here for that and saw how insane that got.

Of course i dont doubt that at all. Thats why i havent said anything, but hes as welcome to vent as you or I or the us staff about the situation. Neither do i think your point is invalid. I just think there was a calmer way to say that for a jedi, and was defending his point which i believe was from a buisness perspective they should have addressed it better(especially with the suggestion of a video. Theres no reason to overwork, but we both know a buisness like US is big enough to be able to make a quick video. Honestly they could make the video now but there is no reason to, but its a great idea for future reference and would help ease tensions in this kinda situation.  Were all good people here. Heck I bet if the jedi focused a bit more on accepting the dark side for what it is and trying to change it through methods that follow the light side there wouldnt be a eon long conflict(Dont believe me? Ask luke or just watch return of the jedi)

Placed my first order late on the 10th for a grab bag(thought it was a mystery box, doh!).  Emailed US almost two days later asking if it was possible to change the order after finding my mistake.  Marlena got back to me late Monday night(22nd), said it wasn’t an issue to change the order.  Just got my shipping notice!  Marlena was outstanding in fixing the issue within minutes.

I do wonder if small parts orders are affected as well. I would hope that they're exempt from all the craziness and delays with the saber orders.

Has anyone here recently placed an order for just a few small parts, and if so, was it quickly shipped and how smooth and trouble free was it?

I'm thinking of ordering a Banes Heart LED for my Dark Arbiter.

First I have to set up my saber with quick disconnects first................THAT will be the first mod!

After reading the forums, I began to ignore timelines and just hope for the best.  It was a shock to get the notice today.  I just assumed it would be close to the 1st of next month.  Maybe it helped that my orders have no customization?  I feel bad that my wait was pretty short and others are still processing.  Will be interesting to see when my 1/11 order ships, just to see if the first one happened to be a fluke

It will be interesting to see if I get a shipping notice soon then, since the only customisation I went for was windows on the emitter.

What do you think is a more efficient use of customer service time, answering countless emails all asking the same thing or making a post on the forums that is stickied for all customers to see (at least those on the forums) that explains the situation in greater detail than any customer can possibly provide? You'll still get one off emails but I bet the volume would be significantly lower.

I probably didn't phrase my post correctly because I communicated it as a request vs a suggestion but need7 is correct that I was truly taking a business approach to it. But, bigBear,  you don't need to rude, especially went your argument lacks depth. My suggestion of a comprehensive communication to their customers actually allows the community to better serve them. Most of the new forum topics people are creating to complain about wait time would never appear and the ones that are still created could be solved with a single reply with a link to the communication.

Data point for anyone keeping track... I emailed US last week and received a reply today that they expect to ship my order in 3-5 business days, which will be January 29th, 30th or 31st. My order was placed on December 26th and contains a Graflex CE (Obsidian v4) and one MB plus an Initiate from the promotion and a GB raffle prize. Assuming 3-5 business days shipping, I should receive my order Feb 1-2 or 5-7, which will be right around 6 weeks from the order date.

Again, simply posting to provide a data point for anyone that might have a similar order placed around the same time as mine.

I am waiting on pretty much your same order for the same time except my Graflex has a diamond controller.

Question for the group, any idea what the initiate and raffle prize will come with regarding batteries?  Wondering if I need to buy a charger in preparation (Graflex I ordered with built-in charging).  Last thing I want is for the sabers to get here and then I can't power them all!

The initiate will be a four AAA stunt setup.  The raffle prize depends on what place you got, and the description it says that place will come in.

Im only 40 miles from US so if it hasnt gotten here by now, i dont think its going to show up.

From what I've seen here and on facebook, USPS has seriously dropped the ball with US' shipments.  Mine got delayed by only two days.  I have no idea what's going on with USPS, but they're not ever being used by me again.  I also buy and sell swords and two of my packages I had sent out were totally torn apart by poor handling by USPS.

LOL

I feel like my order is so trivial compared to the rest...  I just ordered a Scorpion "MHS" compatible pommel for my Dark Catalyst.  I put my Guardian pommel on it yesterday to see how it felt, and the balance was perfect!  Also liked the way it looked, but the Guardian pommel is 1.75" to fit the Guardian's shroud. 

So I went online, curious if the Scorpion pommel was also 1.75", and it is, but BOTH come in MHS models that are trimmed down to 1.5" as well!  WOOT!  The Guardian pommel is out of stock, but the Scorpion pommel is not.  (I hope)  And I like the spikes anyway.  LOL

So ... placed the order.  Now we'll see how bad this back-up affects the little "peripheral" orders.  Part of me hopes they stick to a first-in, first-out structure for you folks that have been waiting, but the other part of me hopes that someone slaps that little bugger in a little box and sends it out ASAP to clear an order.

And I am once again waiting...    :-)

yep, mentioned a few times order numbers mean nothing at this time. the size of the order does. I said many times, better to kick out 10 orders of 1 hilt than 1 order of 10 hilts. that being said...I'm the guy waiting on 10 hilts from 12-21. long as they get here in the next 8 days the crew will be happy.

Day 16 of 8-14 has passed with no notification. bigBear... you KNOW this is what they are doing or you are just speculating based on your experience? In just curious to pass the time because you have held adamantly to this theory from the beginning.

For conversation, I believe you because car stereo stores work on the same principle. They are far more profitable and healthy installing a "deck and two" or a "deck and four" (basic radio and speakers) than they are a big, high end custom installation. The more vehicles they move in and out of the shop, the betterment it is for everyone in THEIR industry. For those of us whom order the big stuff, it's not so great because our project lingers while the easy to complete gets pushed to the front.

I'm not sure how the orders are prioritised to be honest. As bigbear says, it makes sense that smaller orders get filled first (even though I feel bad that he's been waiting so long), but I only ordered one Initiate LE V4 with minimal customisation, and I've seen a few people who've had shipping notices that had ordered on the same day as me.

It's a head scratcher. :(

it's just business, if you're backed up, you want to kick out as many orders as possible. so you kick the small one or two hilt orders 1st. yes, I'm just as antsy as anyone else waiting. and it does get frustrating seeing others place orders earlier this month and get theirs. but I do understand why.

There has been an awakening.... and I felt it.

My order finally shipped today at around noon EST and it's expected to arrive this Saturday! :D

So yeah, don't lose hope, everyone! After all, hope is a recurring theme in Star Wars. ;)


Still, there were a couple of.... oddities. While I did get a tracking number when I first received a shipping notification email, the tracking number up until now said "Label created, not yet in system." Though this is pretty much irrelevant now lol, as I do have an estimated delivery date already.

But now for my second observation. To give a little background, yesterday, I emailed customer service inquiring about the status of my order, but now today, my order shipped, and I figured I wouldn't be hearing from US anymore. But I received an email later today at around before 5 EST from someone named John in customer service saying that my order was, "currently completing processing and being prepared to ship." and that it would take 2-5 business days to ship out. But again, my order shipped today, and I just think that still receiving an email about my order "currently completing processing" when that's clearly not the case anymore was kinda weird. I mean, I'm glad they responded quickly anyway, but still. Anyone else have this kind of experience or something similar?

But now for my second observation. To give a little background, yesterday, I emailed customer service inquiring about the status of my order, but now today, my order shipped, and I figured I wouldn't be hearing from US anymore. But I received an email later today at around before 5 EST from someone named John in customer service saying that my order was, "currently completing processing and being prepared to ship." and that it would take 2-5 business days to ship out. But again, my order shipped today, and I just think that still receiving an email about my order "currently completing processing" when that's clearly not the case anymore was kinda weird. I mean, I'm glad they responded quickly anyway, but still. Anyone else have this kind of experience or something similar?

That's funny because I emailed them yesterday, because I was going out of town late next week and wanted to know if I could change the shipping address. They sent me a similar reply this morning around 11 and my sabers shipped at 2. Doesn't matter as long as it's otw.

Data point for anyone keeping track... I emailed US last week and received a reply today that they expect to ship my order in 3-5 business days, which will be January 29th, 30th or 31st. My order was placed on December 26th and contains a Graflex CE (Obsidian v4) and one MB plus an Initiate from the promotion and a GB raffle prize. Assuming 3-5 business days shipping, I should receive my order Feb 1-2 or 5-7, which will be right around 6 weeks from the order date.

Again, simply posting to provide a data point for anyone that might have a similar order placed around the same time as mine.

Update. My order was shipped today! I guess US was just sand bagging yesterday when they told me it would 3-5 business days. Current USPS estimate is Saturday delivery.

I guess, but still, a little weird. At least with you, your sabers got shipped after, so there's still some chronological order lol. And man, I hope you were able to change your shipping address! Would suck if they showed up to your house while you were still out of town and you couldn't receive them. But I believe you said they were arriving on Monday or Tuesday next week and you did say you were going out of town late next week, so hopefully everything should be good for you. ;)

I suppose in my case, John probably didn't know my order was shipped already. (Or maybe something just wasn't properly updated lol. Couldn't blame them if confusion was the case, I mean, with the huge influx of orders, it's understandable) Another reason why I asked was because I thought something seemed sketchy and maybe either the shipping notification email or the CS email probably wasn't legit. (Though definitely not the case for the shipping email now as again, there was a tracking number and well, here we are now lol.) But I guess I'm just being paranoid. :D

There has been an awakening! LoL  ;D Too funny. I as well placed a order on 12/31. Plus won raffle so I understand the wait.

Heh, thanks. (I've actually been waiting until my saber shipped to say that lol) And congrats on the raffle! ;D

Update. My order was shipped today! I guess US was just sand bagging yesterday when they told me it would 3-5 business days. Current USPS estimate is Saturday delivery.

Looks like it's Saturday for us both. :) Hope everything goes smoothly for both of us also.

not to mention Disney has come across US and been ordering who knows how many for the parks' Jedi experience from the performers to the kids. guess they got tired of replacing those cheap plastic Disney ones.  ;D

Those people I dealt with at Disney were definitely impressed with mine. I took my son and wife to the Galactic Nights event they had on opening night at Hollywood Studios and was stopped many times by different people in their staff asking questions about my sabers.. I was carrying my Graflex CE on my belt with just a blade plug in it and my Archon 3.1 had tucked into the hidden pockets I added to my robe.. lol that way I could carry the Archon with the 36" on it and have it ready for quick access lol...

My Dark Initiate LE v4 came in yesterday after two weeks of 'In-Transit, Delayed'
I ordered it December 26th, so it was a month wait time... Definitely worth it

I have the Tri-Cree LED Consular Green and silver A/V Switch. Both are upgrades am in love with. I also opted to get windows in the emitter and they look great. I got a stunt edition, so no sound, BUT I am still astonished by how beautiful this saber is and how it just looks and feels overall.

HAVING NO SOUND ISN'T A HUGE TAKEAWAY FROM THE SABER NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE TELLS YOU

I think I couldn't have spent my money on anything better, honestly.

I absolutely agree 100%.

I actually am glad my first saber is a stunt.

I love practicing spins and the like with my blade ignited, and if I had sound, the drone would be annoying after a while.

I will have one with sound soon, but I'm really enjoying my stunt.

Also, I'm really loving the look of the Dark series sabers.

I think my Dark Arbiter looks freakin' amazing, and all the Dark series versions of the hilts US sells look just as amazing too.

@Atraills, your saber is so cool, especially with the emitter window! I have Consular Green in my Dark Arbiter, and it's the regular LED.

So my question to you is, have do you like the TRI Cree Consular Green? I can imagine it's bright as heck. My regular LED is bright, but I can imagine the TRI's!

Yeah same with me. Although I did wait a month my mind was eating at me the whole time
when I got it yesterday, all of the anxiety and stress just went away and I felt really stupid for all of it lol but it's worth the wait, even if USPS screwed me over for another week and a half

What makes it even harder to manage for me is that I live in the UK, so getting the elusive shipping notice is only half the wait.

What really got me was I thought usps had lost my saber because it was stuck 'In-Transit, Delayed' for almost two weeks. Just the thought I wasted my time and money and there was nothing that I could do about it. But ive heard it ships to the UK decently fast, depending on shipping.

One thing I must say the driver always comes when no one is home. Best option have your package dropped off at a Fed ex drop off center then go pick it up yourself at your convenience. I chose a Walgreens  close to me. Hope this helps. Mtfbwy all.  ;D ;D

And I'll keep that drop off center stuff in mind next time I order sabers or pretty much anything that requires a signature for that matter. (Heh, my saber hasn't even arrived yet, and I'm already thinking about the next purchase lol)

Thanks Cyverse. Felt like eons waiting bit well worth it. Especially with all the promos they gave and the raffle win was icing on the cake. Picking up yourself is best so you don't have to keep missing the driver and then after 2 attempts it goes back to a Fed ex location near you. Then you have to go pick up your sabers. Better to save time and anxiety and have it dropped off at Fed ex drop off location and save yourself the headache.

My order from 12/31 appears to have been shipped (FedEx) and should arrive on Wednesday, one month after ordering the two Emerld sabers, with a free Mystery Box, a free Initiate, and the added First Prize 2-Channel Emerald Saber.    So for the price of two fairly expensive ultrasabers, I get three free, with free shipping.  And one of those three will also be of decent worth just from what it is, while the other two....could be almost anything (will the Initiate has can only be one of a half dozen or so models, but it could look like anything).

I too ordered through USPS and today's the expected delivery date for me, but my tracking info as of today around 12:34 PM EST just says, "In Transit to Destination. On its way to (INSERT LOCATION STUFF HERE)". And the usual letters for today already came to my address along with shoes my mom ordered. Plus, there was no "We're sorry we missed you" notice or anything like that.

Unless USPS delivers twice a day for larger packages, I'm probably expecting it to be delayed. ??? Then again, it still says it'll be delivered by 8 PM EST today, but of course, it says there's no guarantee, plus there's no "Out for Delivery" notice as I'm typing this, so we'll see. Hopefully it does get here by today, but I won't be surprised if it ends up getting delayed. :-\

It's a gut wrenching thought but... you have to figure that certain USPS hubs in Texas see a ton of Ultrasabers shipped through them (and the shape of the package sure is noticeable.) All it takes is a quick look at the packing label and a Google search and anybody can know what's inside, plus the potential value.

I suppose it's possible. I'd like to think the postal service took more pride in their work than to steal packages, but I suppose the term "going postal" had to have come from somewhere

One of my good friends was a head postmaster and believe me with a few stories he would convince you not even to send postcards through USPS but I digress, I'm also stuck in the same boat here but mine's "in transit" which so far has always meant good things so may the Force be with us...

Didn't come for you either, huh? lol

Well, at least you got an update saying it made it to a distribution center close to you, so that's good for you. :)

Mine still says it's in transit to my area and it's been like that since around noon for me. :( (Still holding out for hope, but starting to get just a little worried lol)

Okay, so as of 2:04 am EST, my saber made it to Metro NY Distribution Center. Seeing as how I AM in NYC, it really SHOULD be here by tomorrow for me as well. (Fingers and everything crossed!) ;D

USPS is trash. Like so many others, my package is "delayed". In reality, the delivery estimate was just absurdly aggressive. There was no way a package they received from US late Wednesday night was going to make it to NC by Saturday unless US paid for expedited shipping (which clearly shouldn't be the case for free shipping).

That said, USPS is now telling me it didn't even leave the Houston area until last night (the day they claimed it would be delivered), which is stupid slow. If I had to guess, it will be delivered Wednesday.

I think I have it all planned out.   I’m thinking that since I should be getting back from a work overnighter that day. I’ll watching the tracking and when it gets to town I’ll just have them keep it there and I’ll pick it up on Wednesday instead of delivered

Good plan.  I was going to suggest that too.  It a bit extra time, but beats lost or stolen. :)

Ordered a $75 MB on the 2nd of January. I recieved the shipping notice yesterday. Estimated time of delivery is tomorrow by 8pm. Super excited as I was very pleased with the first MB saber I received.

Current Sabers:

AS Episode II
DV Episode V
LS Episode VI
KR Episode VII
Sentinel V4 - Guardian Blue

This year i plan to do some conversion work on my LS Episode VI as the blade broke off.

It is hard to sit and wait for your first saber.  I ordered mine on the 12th and it was a simple order.  MB for me and my 12 year old an Aeon V4.  It shipped on the 25th and was to be delivery yesterday........But it was not.

FedEx will not leave a package without a signature.  So my 12 year old and myself were very much on the "Dark Side" last night.  So remember to go online and print off a signature form for fedex and tape it to the front door (If you want the package left at the door).

I have it now and I am sitting at the window looking for the school bus..............lol    Ok, I'm 12 also.

I don't think so. I ordered 3 MB on the 2nd and just got shipping notice today. If folks would quit sending pestering emails, maybe they could get through the orders more quickly. I sense that US is about to to get over the hump.

I ordered mine the 10th of Jan. and still shows as 'Processing'.

Hopefully it will get shipped soon as I need it before Feb. 10th and its a long way to Spain!
Please disregard my previous post. A new feature to RULES has just been added, and the original has been removed, and with it any record of posting to in user profiles.

Well the issue is that people are emailing ultra sabers as soon as they hit the 10 business day mark wondering where their saber is. It’s different cause I’m sitting at the 17 business day mark.

After lurking for some time I thought I'd join the club. Patiently waiting on my first US (ordered 1/14), a modest Initiate LE with Lite sound to test the US waters with before I start throwing paychecks at them  :P  Oddly enough watching other people unbox their sabers on Youtube has satisfied the hunger so far.

While I haven't actually received a product from US yet, I've got to say, from the research I've done and the little experience I have with them to this point, they seem like an outstanding business with solid fundamentals and a commitment to customer service. No idea what their current staffing is like but they appear to be running very efficiently and despite the huge influx from the movie/holidays (and good for them!) are working hard to keep up. Seems they have a friendly and passionate community here on the forums too. Looking forward to building a collection here!

NOOOOOOOOO!!!   USPS said today and then I check the email and it says “hmm seems this package is still in transit”.    Well guess maybe tomorrow. I can’t wait.   This just added to the excitement.  All in all a great week for me saber today or not.    Many good things have come my way so far and soon many more.  One thing is my new R2 droid showed today

I'm still trying to be patient, however a friend of mine just made an order to US ten days after mine and got his sabers today.  I'm nearing the three week mark.

Ordered 12/30. MB and a saber staff. Not a complicated order. haven received anything from them yet(and yes i did get an order confirmation email). Emailed a few times asking what the deal is as im at business day 21 if my math is right, and a little over a month period. Got one reply back almost 2 weeks ago requesting additional verification, which I sent back to them the same night, and nothing since.

Getting pretty impatient with US and not hearing anything back when I see other people posting they ordered in JANUARY and they are getting there orders already.

Is there anyone that ordered in DEC that is still waiting on their order or even a shipping notice?

I ordered on the 12th of January and am still waiting for my order to ship, but I know it's gotta be tough with holidays and TLJ spiking the order numbers. On the bright side my email inbox has never been as clean as it is now.  ;D Keeping it open in another tab waiting for that magical notification so I can refresh the tracking eighty billion times. I'm very patiently impatient.

Alright, dudes.  

You need to be patient.  I know that sounds like crap, but it's true.

UltraSabers has the fastest shipping going. Period.  

Any other company takes MONTHS to get you your saber.  MONTHS!  And that's for a standard, no extras one.  Custom orders, or limited runs can take up to a year.

The folks at US are EXTREMELY busy right now.  Holiday season just passed, and a new movie.  I realise that the site says days, but c'mon...lol

Anything under two months is still really fast.

UltraSabers isn't just taking advantage of you.

This is from Ultra yesterday:

I know patience is not something anyone wants to hear when they are waiting for a highly anticipated item. Rest assured, we're working literally night and day to get through this flood of orders that came in this month.

For any of you who do not know, Ultra works for UltraSabers, so if he says they are doing their best to get through the orders, that means they are doing their best. I know it can be hard to wait, but please, just give them a little more time.

When you have the best prices on the market, you'll get flooded with the people on budgets when a new movie comes out and they want a lightsaber. I have no doubt the US team is doing their best to keep up with demand. Although I have to say next time I might try to order well before or well after a new Star Wars release.  ;D

Exercising sith patience is easier said than done when you see a post saying someone ordered on 1/10, shipped 1/24 and arrived 1/30.

I'm sure I will be ecstatic when my order arrives but its killer seeing people post that they ordered a week or two after me and are getting there orders.  Makes me want to have a temper tantrum like Kylo in the movies lol.

VladdyT, I SO get that.

I ordered a Prophecy during a raffle - and WON!  It was back-ordered though, and I didn't see it or my prize for some time.

I was a relatively new member at that time, and an elder member told me to be patient and not make noise.  

Good advice. ;)

-1 for DS too, BTW.

I'm conflicted.  Ordered my wife an Apprentice V4 with lite sound on the 6th. Ordered a Dominic LE V4 for me plus a MB on the 11th.  Just got notification that my Dominic and MB shipped but her order is still "Processing."  Happy that the Dominic and MB are on the way but really wanted her to have hers first.  Hoping the MB is something cool. But we won't know until mid Feb. because we leave for vacation on Friday, the day before FedEx delivers them. 😢 More anticipation!

I mean, you can complain if you want, won't make the mail arrive any quicker...lol

I just stopped driving myself crazy waiting, and pretty much ordered a saber, and forgot about it.

At long last... My crimson scorpion has arrived. Got it with Emerald Driver in Bane's Heart only to figure out I don't have the right USB cable. My raffle saber came as well. An Emerald Arbiter with Silver flash on clash, pulse, and in Guardian Blue. Other than it having sound everthing else was random. The arbiter wasn't even on my radar but it is pretty nice and very light. I'd say I lucked out.

Ordered a $75 MB on the 2nd of January. I recieved the shipping notice yesterday. Estimated time of delivery is tomorrow by 8pm. Super excited as I was very pleased with the first MB saber I received.

Current Sabers:

AS Episode II
DV Episode V
LS Episode VI
KR Episode VII
Sentinel V4 - Guardian Blue

This year i plan to do some conversion work on my LS Episode VI as the blade broke off.

Well i recieved the notificaiton that it had left the post office and would be received by 8pm on the 31st which made sense because I live in the great state of Texas. Last night i waited only to receive notification last night that it had been received at the Houston Post Office at 7pm. I was honestly afraid it had been sent back for whatever reason. Long story short Ive receieved the infamous DELAYED notifcation. Last update is the shipment is on its way to its destination but the estimated delivery date is now gone. The waiting continues.....................

If I don't get that in a MB, I'll probably customize one with that.   

Couple of ones that I'm hoping for, but I'm not picky any will be cool!

I placed an order for four mystery boxes on the 6th of January.  Still processing.  Anyone know if MBs are taking longer to be assembled and shiped than a custom order?

It took almost a month for my last custom order to arrive, So i am not super cranky yet, but I was wondering if 1 month lead time was reasonable for MBs as well.  I would like to start getting my hopes up.  :)


Title: Re: (im)Patienly waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: ithekro on February 03, 2018, 03:24:58 PM
What did you get?!


A Fulcrum with Emerald and Obsidian v4 sound
A Lost Grey with Emerald and Obsidian v4 sound
Both to be wedding presents.

Than the two free sabers:
The Dark Apprentice LE v4 in Adegan Silver as the free Initiate.
The Sentinel LE v4 in I think Fire Orange as the free Mystery Box.

And finally, a First Prize from the raffle:
The Dominix LE v4 in Sentinel Yellow with flash on clash set to either Emerald Green or Sunrider's Destiny.  Oh and the saber came set to flicker like an on screen saber.
It is an Emerald saber with premium sound, though I haven't check to see it is v3 or v4 yet.

I really wanted to find out if the V4 is as comfy as the V3 for spinning and dueling. Now the waiting begins again, I guess I'm gluten for punishment.

It was no accident! Subconsciously you just wanted a saber to guard those helpless little pommels and ensure their safe journey to your abode!

I ordered a 75$ Mystery Box a month ago today and it is still processing. It gets harder to be patient every single day. I wish they would have told me to expect more than 14 business days because they gave me a lot of false hope with that... :(

I'm with you.  I ordered mine roughly a month ago and haven't seen anything.  Mine was a mystery box too.  Thing is, my friend who had an order that was harder to build and ordered ten days after me just got his order in the middle of last week.  Meanwhile I'm still waiting for my measly few parts and my mystery box.  It's really too bad, since i was thinking about getting a nice staffsaber next.  Hope you get yours soon.

Good to hear... only I might wonder at the use of the term "slightly."  Especially since my order is just stuff you could dump into a box and doesn't even have to be built.   Still, I'm looking forward to the day when I can post my happy unboxing.  :)

That makes me think of something - is there a problem just with Mystery Boxes?  The people who are waiting longest seem to have them.  So I wonder if folks are just out of scratch 'n' dent stuff?

There are a few concerning disputes in their BBB complaints section. The two reviews left were positive though and the overwhelming majority of feedback elsewhere online seems to be positive. I work in customer service myself and sometimes there's a lot going on behind the scenes that can explain a certain outcome, yet going through all of that with each customer is mostly pointless and would consume time better spent working toward resolving the issues and catching up on work that we may already be behind on, so the result is often an "I apologize for x, we're doing everything we can to correct it and hopefully ensure it doesn't happen again."

Speculating in the negative is never productive, and going into any e-mail communication or otherwise will often not net you the best results, especially in dealing with a smaller business rather than a corporation. That said I hope you get some results sooner than later. I'm still waiting on my first purchase myself, and I've even seen someone who ordered the exact same thing as me (a custom order) only a couple days prior receive their order while mine is still processing. Disappointing for sure, but we don't know how exactly they're dealing with the mountain of work they're wading through right now or how they've organized the orders to be processed. Best of luck to you.

Communication is key with any business. They have a rep. I'm just saying. Its not hard. I work in a small business 4 people and almost a million a year in contracts. No matter how busy, communication is not a problem. You pay money you expect a certain type of service. They have no problem constantly wanting reviews. Just saying.

Perhaps it's a problem with your post office? Have you tried contacting them? Perhaps it was just lost on the way to you. They also could've botched the delivery and it is simply laying in the post office, waiting for you. I know that when my delivery gets to me, I'll absolutely have to pick it up from the office, there won't be any courier.

I've gotten zero shipping info and i'm signed up for informed shipping with USPS - nothing there.  I may go by the Post Office Sat. but I dont have much hope it will be there.  Just trying to hang in until I hear from US.   I do know once it gets here, I know it will be awesome.

Have you gone on the USPS website and used your tracking number? If it says 'In-Transit, Delayed' I wouldn't worry, but file a missing mail search and call them.

I placed my order on the 16th and have yet to hear anything, even though today is business day 16. The troubling part is that the address I gave them to ship to is no longer good. I called and emailed about this but haven’t heard back. Nor has the shipping address changed on my account.  I’m posting this in the hope they might see it and fix the problem before it goes out.

I’ve wanted a saber for years and only now have been in a place to get exactly what I wanted (manticore ce with all the bells and whistles). From all I’ve read I’m sure the product will be excellent but I have to say, busy or not, the customer support for this process has been pretty weak.  I know US is a small company but communication with customers is crucial, especially during difficult times.

USPS tracking is terrible and as much as I despise FedEx I'll likely use them next time. Expected delivery was today, no dice. Here's to tomorrow.


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Rapine on February 07, 2018, 11:56:44 PM
I do sympathise with you Max Rebo - truly.  I can't disagree either.  Communication is kind of essential.

I will add, and I understand that this sounds like the same old story, and this goes out to everyone waiting, but the US crew IS very busy right now.  CRAZY BUSY.  Taking time to answer the thousands of emails they get, would only serve to slow down everyone's order.

Also, this isn't UltraSabers.  It's their forum.  People come here (usually when they have some free time), and hope to relax and enjoy a few things.  Not for added drama or whatever.

EVERYONE is waiting longer.  It sucks.  Period.  Especially for the first one (excellent choice on the Manticore BTW.  That was my first saber as well).

Lastly, even doubled, the 15 day lead time given on the website (when it's not insanely busy - new movie; holidays; etc...), is still incredibly fast in the lightsaber world.

All I can do is empathise with you all, but ask for your continued patience and help making this place cool.  

Thanks.

Max: The address issue is kind of major.  I'll make sure it goes to the top.

Hi.  I hope that you have made a formal change of address with the postal service and whatever shipping carrier you have chosen at the time of making your order.

You can also email [email protected] and attention Marlena.  Include your order number which is located at the top right hand corner and a brief description of your saber order.  Name of saber model would be sufficient.  You likely will receive a reply within a few days.

Hope this will resolve your concern.  :)

Hi.  You all are getting but a brief version and experience of what the waiting times are like from most of the major " other guy " companies.  Good time to practice your Jedi and Sith patience... for different reasons.  :D

Just ordered a Dark Sentinel v4 with DVA blade.
Wanted to get a saber that can be used by a Jedi, or a Sith Inquisitor, kinda costume, as my Fiancee is building a Jedi(ish) costume atm.
I like the idea of Red and Violet being Sith colors (violet being shared between) as Blazing Red speaks to the ideas of anger and destruction,
whereas the darker violet can speak of the esoteric whispering of the Dark Side itself.  ;D

Let's just hope that it gets here before my semester is over ;)

You may very well have, I started in October with 2 mystery boxes and a Chosen One SE - a week later I was ordering a Graflex CE.. The other day when I was opening the box containing my winter raffle prize my wife asked "just how many lightsabers do you have now?"... ummmm including the bonus sabers with my purchases and such from the fall promotion I now have 14... So then to answer her next sarcastic question if I had enough of them yet, my answer was an immidiate No.. I know of two more I definitely wish to order right now.. and then maybe... so yes I think I have a problem now... lol and I started it out with the same two sabers you are waiting for.. good luck!

I cheated and did a package intercept with the post office, didn't want to wait for the delivery.

The waiting is soooo hard. I know I know I only ordered, 2 MB, on Jan 26 so I still have till Wednesday or Thursday before the normal lead time is up. However, I wants the preciouses and I wants them now. Sorry just needed to get that out of my system. At least I have my ancient MR Anakin from like 15+ years ago to keep me company.  :o Wow.... have I really had it that long, starting to feel old here.

After a brief transport delay and USPS shenanigans I got my MB !!  Dark Apprentice, no sound, no emitter windows, no upgraded AV switch, Consular Green. Basic saber - was so excited opening at work. everyone gathered around, and I can't wait for my next to arrive.(hopefully in the next couple weeks)   I'm hooked!

seems like that's what everyone got today and yesterday. I'll assume mine will be the same tommorow. No upgrades would put it under the 75$ margin tho???

Mine (ordered 1/19) is in-transit, delayed. It’s my first US purchase. It was supposed to arrive February 08. I filed a missing mail report and I am so nervous! Looks like it never left the Houston USPS facility. It’s an Aeon LE V4 with Obsidian LITE in Consular Green. Freaking USPS!

You know -- I went back over the site and I'm not sure what makes it $74.99  after all.  Maybe Tri color green? Or a different blade? *shrug* I got home and got to fire up the blade in the dark...wow super green! <3

I also do not believe the fedex estimate of tomorrow. But so excited.

I read that they were running 2 shifts with the potential of running 3!  I also got notice late last night that a label had been crated for my MB order from 2/1 -- so not even 10 business days!  They are catching up and doing a great job of it.

What do you mean by a label? Pre-shipping notice?


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Karmack on February 14, 2018, 02:58:50 PM
The tracking number and such are created when you print the shipping label and pay the postage to FedEx or USPS or whoever is carrying the package.  So, you can get that "shipping label created" notification a day or so before the package is actually picked up and starts its journey.  So "pre-shipping notification" is a good way to think of it.  :-)

US is trying to catch up from the madness of Dec. and yes, they are working 2 shifts to get everyone their order as fast as possible. other than that...you're somewhere in my time zone.

After (patiently) waiting for 5 weeks (including a few days vacation) my wife finally picked up our packages yesterday from FedEx.  A beautiful Dominix LE V4 silver, a Mystery Box (Aeon V4 Stunt saber, red) and my wife's Valentines Day present.  An Apprentice V4 in silver.  All hilts look amazing, the Dominix and Apprentice with Lite sound are incredible.

Just one problem.  We ordered the Apprentice with an upgraded pommel.  Ordered (and paid) for a Shock Pommel.  It came with the standard pommel.  A bit disappointed.  I e-mailed customer service as soon as we discovered it last night.  Does anyone know how long it usually takes to respond to an error in a shipment?  This is my first saber order and I don't know what to expect.  The hilts are absolutely beautiful and I'm not complaining, just wondering what happens next.  Thanks!

You give me hope, I ordered a $75 mystery box on 01/07/18 and it's still processing. I got that automated followup from shopperapproved and that got me excited......momentarily. I guess since this is my first saber, they want to test my Jedi patience....

I got the sentinel LE v4 in consular green and with premium sound, it has a silver av switch, windowed emmiter, and I believe a recharge port! Will post some pictures once I figure out how!

I just got a job three weeks ago and had to spend my first paycheck on "needs" *sigh* So now I'm waiting for my second paycheck until next Friday and hopefully I can get some sabers then. I'm thinking of getting a Dark Liberator Staff to duel my brother-in-law with. I want arctic blue and he's favorite color is blue/green so SRD. My only concern is that they might look to much alike so I might get a different color. Maybe yellow or The Pyrestone Orange. What do you guys think?

I would personally choose Yellow, since that’s what I’m getting for my first Emerald saber in August (a little birthday gift to myself) but I DO also like Pyrestone Orange and Dark Violet Amethyst

My box arrived today.

Received a sentinel v4 with no sound, emitter windows and standard guarded switch in guardian blue for my mystery box. I wish it would have received  the AV switch upgrade, but otherwise I’m happy with it. It’s a secondary saber to the Emperor’s Hand with Emerald driver and V4 sound that I also ordered.

I made an unboxing video that can be seen here.

Finally got my Aeon LE V4 in Consular Green with Obsidian LITE today. It’s my first saber and wow I am impressed. So worth the wait!

I am (im)patiently waitnIng for the next good sale/raffle to order my flamberge v2 diamond.  Pretty much have it worked out, except not sure if I will recharge port or not.  I don’t mind changing out lion batteries in my current diamond saber, so maybe save some $$.  However, with three blades, I bet the battery life is very short, so maybe a recharge would be good.

Ah I see, So if I want a yellow GB Saber I just put sentinel Yellow in the Order comment box at check out? That's what I've heard before.
yes during the checkout there will be a section regarding a color option. just hit the drop down and select what color you want.

not quite a selectable color. for a grab bag in SY. pick the higher priced color (artic blue as an example) pick you options and add to cart,
from there, go to parts and select parts and supplies. add $5 in requisition charges. add to cart and check out. in the notes put in the requested forum color.

Hi all I'm new here and bought my first saber last month!

Has anyone recently ordered a prophecy v3 and received it?
I got mine on 1/18 and the order is still processing  so am wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

Thanks!

they are still backed up from December's madness so it is taking longer than usual. rest assured they are working hard to get caught up.

So, I got my shipping notice the other day.  I was very excited, it was scheduled to be delivered today.

I decided to check the tracking on the package today.  This is from the USPS site:

February 13, 2018, 4:01 pm
USPS picked up item
FRIENDSWOOD, TX 77546 

February 13, 2018, 6:44 pm
Departed Post Office
FRIENDSWOOD, TX 77546

February 14, 2018, 12:53 am
Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility
NORTH HOUSTON TX DISTRIBUTION CENTER

February 15, 2018, 12:53 pm
In Transit to Next Facility
On its way to HUNTSVILLE, AL 35806

February 15, 2018, 9:54 pm
Departed USPS Regional Origin Facility
NORTH HOUSTON TX DISTRIBUTION CENTER

February 16, 2018, 6:57 am
Arrived at Post Office
PEARLAND, TX 77581
Your item arrived at the Post Office at 6:57 am on February 16, 2018 in PEARLAND, TX 77581.


Now...  I'm not sure about this, but I am thinking that there as a little mistake there.  For whatever reason the box took 9 hours from scan-in and routing to Huntsville, AL and getting scanned out on a truck.
Then ... the truck went to  PEARLAND, TX?????

I think my box is wandering around...  But also pretty sure it's not going to be here today.  :-(

So...  Keeping an eye on this, but wanted to share.  I think sometimes its worth the extra money to get the FedEx shipping...

Ok, thanks, Does it HAVE to be $5? Because im looking at the requisition charge right now and they are $1 each.

You have to add five of those $1 options to make it $5 worth of requisition cost. The full info on it is here (first post and after all the missing Photobucket photos) http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=4475.0

So I received my very first  MB a couple of weeks ago that contained an Aeon V4 LE with windows, AV switch and in Consular Green. I brought it into the office to show one of my coworkers. Next thing you know, 3 of my coworkers are logging onto US and ordering MB's.  :D

Got me so excited I ordered another one as well! The wait begins anew!

My Four Mystery Boxes FINALLY Arrived!  It took a month and a half from order to arriving at my home.  I know they are super busy, so I am not suuuper mad about the time frame,  but I wish I had been given a more realistic lead time.  Hopefully they have adjusted this in their post holiday craziness.

In the boxes I got a:
Sentinel LE V4 with windows in Adegan Silver
Sentinel V4 in Adegan silver
Aeon LE V3 in ADEGAN SILVER

AND AN ELECTRUM WIND WITH PREMIUM SOUND IN FIRE ORANGE!!!

I was a bit miffed at first, because two of my MBs were not actually worth 75 dollars the way they were configured and ALL THREE were SILVER. All of that frustration went away with that last pull for sure. Honestly, turned out to be pretty great with the 3 silver sabers as I was able to configure several appealing colors from the left over color discs I bought with my first AS Dominix V4.  Out of ONE pack of color discs and my now 4 silver sabers, I was able to make a Tiffany blue, hot pink, lavender, and a bright almost sentinel yellow. This adds a LOT of color diversity to my collection and makes me super happy when I look at it.   

I am currently working on a series of review videos for all of my sabers, and will post them as soon as they are ready.  I have several different types and I want to get some action shots and reactions from my students who are using them.  I want to try and provide the community with some more useful information than my elated fanboying...  and I want people to see them in action!  US doesnt have a lot of videos out of people really USING them in their reviews.  We have a LOT of unboxing vids though.

I love EVERY SINGLE ONE of my now 12 sabers... I would just be a mess if I tried to review them right out of the box.

Double posts removed.  Congrats on those MB's.  x3 white blades... what are the chances.  Even more that last Electrum saber !  Glad you could change out the blades with the color discs.  Theatrical gel filters cut from sample books are even better with loads more color combos.  Suggest Lee or Roscolux brands.

Look forward to your review... 12 sabers can be called a collection for sure.  :D

So ...   sitting here playing with the sabers we just received Tuesday (our very first order) my wife looks at me and says "Hey, we can specify regular mid grade blades on MB.  I could use a 32" mid grade blade.  It will make a good Easter present." 10 minutes later we now have two more $75 MB on order. She is the one who usually moderates my toy addictions, now she is feeding them.  I'm in big trouble.   :D

Well, I picked up the saber I bought from my friend today - finally have one of my own in my hands, and even just having a stunt saber with no sound, this thing is beautiful.  I'm amazed at how light and balanced the Standard Issue is, and I absolutely am in love with Fire Orange.   I also got to test out my custom work-in-progress blade plug, and it's gonna look awesome when I'm done.  So now I have something to keep me a little occupied while I wait the remaining days until my mystery box ships!

Yes, the SIs are perfect for that. ;)  I've always wanted an orange blade too - still don't have one...lol

Ordered on January 11th, received today.

$200 mystery box.

Received a Dominix LE v4 with Lite sound, windowed emitter, black av switch, consular green w/silver flash on clash.

Very similar to my very first one I received, a dark initiate le v4 w/sound in orange but I am very happy. I wanted whatever it was in green so that was good.

Plus it makes me want another to try and get a completely different looking one!

It took 11 Buisiness days from order confirmation on the 2nd of February  to shipping on the 20th for mine. It says to allow 8-14 business days for fabrication so it wasn’t  TOO long and within their window for completion.

Woot!  After waiting an extra week for USPS to get itself sorted out (is it REALLY that hard to tell Huntsville, AL from Huntsville, TX?  I mean, c'mon, ZIP CODES!!!!!) I am the proud recipient of an MHS-compatible (1.5" diameter instead of 1.75 inch) Scorpion pommel.

This pommel will very soon be adorning my Dark Consular.  Once it is, I will be posting some pictures of this (hopefully) amazing awesomeness.

For now...    :)

Lead times looking really good now. At least for the Mystery Boxes.  6 working days for our two MB's! Anxious to see how long it takes to replenish some of the out of stock hilts.

Post by: Son_Of_A_Sith on February 27, 2018, 01:41:28 AM
Mine was not a mystery box but it was a hilt in stock at the time of purchase on 2/16. So it definitely seems they are caught up for the most part. Out of stock hilts I have no idea about.

Are processing times back down to reasonable rates? I want to order a MB as a surprise for a friend going through a rough time, and need it to get to his dorm before the end of the school year. (End of April) I got very lucky with my first saber- MB, Scorpion, emerald, v3 sound. I want him to have the same luck as I did on his first and get it in reasonable time.

Wait is over, a little underwhelmed for the money I spent on just a "premium" blade when I could have gotten a MB from US instead not to mention the 1 month wait for just a blade, oh well, live and learn I guess.  Will post pics in the black blade thread, hoping it looks better when  lit up in pics than in real life.  Looks real good not lit though but that is kind of any oxymoron for a lightsaber blade.  :P

Post by: toppsnyk on March 12, 2018, 09:09:42 PM
just got shipping notice! 3 day turn around! 

Got my Saber today.  Another Dominix v4 (like my 3rd MB) only in red instead of blue.  that one had windows, a non functioning recharge port and av switch.   This one just has windows. I really dig the red as the other 3 are 2 GB and 1 CG.  2 of my sabers were $74.99 one was $159 (tho really does the non functional recharge port count?) and one of them is 74.99 but I couldn't actually tell you what the upgrade was to make it $74.99 (dark sentinel CG, no windows, guarded switch)

Picked up a Shock pommel for that Dark sentinel to give it some zip (and my other is a sentinel so more variation)

Think I'm about MB out as I have 4 sabers that are pretty much the same 2 (Sentinels) and 2 (Dominix).  They are all cool in their own way but if I got a 5MB and it was some variation again of what I have I would fall in the disappoint category. (not saying  I need to pull a Chosen One or anything - I just think I've maxed out what I can realistically pull from a $75 MB)

I really dig this saber in red.  It really fits.  and even with the guarded switch, I think it gets a bump over the the other Dominix in Blue. 

Think I really need to just pull the trigger on $200 MB . Then I'll get a custom Emperor's Hand or Guardian in the fall.

So exciting to open the boxes and see it light up for the first time.  :)

others in the group leads to many more to the list.

Our last two MB were Dark Sentinel V4 with Covertec in GB wheel and a Sentinel V4 with windowed emitter in FO no wheel.  Just barely $75 value each.  But they are VERY nice hilts and no complaints.  It's always fun to open a MB.  So much  so that we threw in another $75 MB when we placed an order for friend this past weekend.  :)

I was just adding the newest hilts to the "Blade Colour Reference" thread, and noticed that the SRD spot under "Guardian" is blank.  Wanna claim it DA?


That goes for anyone - if you have a hilt in a colour that has no link, shoot me a PM, and I'll add it. ;)

Only ones that have no link, or have a dead link (no - I didn't check each one - sue me :P).  I'd just need the raw link...

After months of haunting this board and the US site, I pulled the trigger on my first saber! Started out with something easy to customize, a Dark Sentinel V4 stunt, silver with color disks. Can't wait to weather it, maybe craft some shrouds, and experiment with Lee filters and different wraps. I was thinking about tennis racquet wraps. The thing I love about the entry-level hilts like the Sentinel and Apprentice is how they seem to invite you to trick them out and make them one of a kind.

Yay!  That's exactly what I got as my first saber-silver blade even (without the color disks).  I didn't do anything with the hilt itself, but I do play around with the Lee filters and it's a lot of fun.

Yeah, something about a black hilt and a silver blade sounded very wicked. It made me wish there was a black and white Star Wars comic series to be found. I just hope that once I'm ready to add sound I have a good enough grasp of wiring. I should, since my Youtube account has transformed into the "all saber builds" feed.

For reference, I placed an order for a Catalyst with the Diamond controller + an additional blade today at 11:09am, and I got my shipping notification at 4:45pm. I'm not saying that turnaround under six hours is typical, but US is by FAR the quickest on the market. And occasionally their speed is positively blistering.

Lightning-swift turnaround time, definitely. I placed my order on April 10, and apparently my saber is sitting on my front porch right now!!! Granted, mine is an entry-level hilt with stunt setup, but that's less than a week from click to delivery. I live in the same metro area as the other guys, and I don't think they could pull that off with a similar product.

Ugh, and I have six more hours of work before I can go home and see it!

I recently placed an order for my first ever saber! I've been admiring Ultrasabers' designs ever since I found out about them (about a year ago), but the spring sale finally convinced me to go for it and get one of my own! I decided to go for the DOMINIX LE V4 with V4 sound, windows in the emitter, and the Emerald Driver. I'm SO excited and can't wait to receive it! Unfortunately, the hilt is on backorder so it may take a while.   :-\

Ordered 3 more sabers that will bring my collection up to 6!

2 Grab bags, one Blazing Red and the other Guardian Blue
And a Catalyst with Violet Ameythyst and lite sound.
Perhaps I should start saving for an Emerald Saber

I just placed an order for a $75.00 MB a few moments ago.

It's my second MB, and the "first order"  :D was placed during the crazy holiday season of 2017. So I figured this MB wouldn't take a month like the first one and I am excited to see what I receive.

I've had my Dark Arbiter since January 21 and have been enjoying it immensely. I just replaced the original batteries and the Consular Green lights up the room like new!

I was going to order an Initiate v3, but the price point was close to a MB, so I went with that. I wanted something smaller than the Dark Arbiter, and since so many people are getting Apprentices and Sentinels and the like with the current MB's, I figured I'd just take a chance and let fate decide again what I get.

I'll be happy with what I get (sound would be killer), but my budget didn't allow for me to spend the extra for guaranteed sound. Maybe next time when I get the funds to order a Prophecy with Lite sound.

And now the wait begins.........

Post by: Sparky_D on May 18, 2018, 03:21:46 AM
Decided to take advantage of the May the 4th sale and chose a Dark Initiate LE V4. It'll be the "Little Brother" to my Dominix V4 I got back in 2016.

While I was at it, I decided to add two $75 mystery boxes to the order.
Haven't done the Mystery Box thing yet. Might actually do an unboxing video for it.
I got two "Grab Bags" a couple years ago (Sentinel V4 and Sentinel LE V4 with windows), so hopefully I'll get something new.  ;D

Now just waiting...…. and waiting...… and waiting..... :(

Just placed the order for my Dark Initiate V4 LE. At least I don't have to wait too long... fabrication time is listed at 2-3 days. Nothing close to what it was like when I placed an order around The Last Jedi.

On a side note, it does kind of bug me that I can't see any of the details of the saber (like color, blade type, etc.) either in my account or in my email. I know I triple checked everything before ordering but still, I like to be able to see at a glance that everything was cool.


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Edon Bluewolf on May 18, 2018, 11:47:15 AM
Ok so as expected, I got two sabers from US (raffle entry and prize) that I ordered on 4-28 by 5-17 keeping in mind they were held due to the raffle and I heavily upgraded my prize.  However I am still waiting on the other guys for just one saber ordered 4-1 with no real update or end in sight.  So US shipping times pretty much destroy their competition.  Going to probably place another order with US for my wife finally which will most likely still beat the other saber!

Thanks SOAS! I thought it would be over a week, week and a half, but the last update was that it will arrive here in Los Angeles by Monday at 8:00 pm.

I was completely sympathetic and understanding as to the delays last winter during the holiday season and all that, but this hyper drive speed that my order is moving so far is making me feel a little spoiled.

Getting regular text updates from USPS is nice. I just literally got another text saying my package just left the post office.

It's on the truck!!!!!

I'm glad your order was processed so fast. My Spring Raffle order (customized Belicose) was processed and shipped within 48 hours.

My current "May the 4th" saber (customized Initiate V4 LE) was ordered on the 15th and is still "processing"...  :'(


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Darth Davester on May 20, 2018, 05:00:20 AM
All the latest updates point to Monday.

I wonder what I'll get. I'm thinking maybe it'll turn out to be an Apprentice/Initiate/Sentinel something on the lower end of the scale.

Lower end saber plus fast shipping is the likeliest scenario.

Fast shipping and a saber with sound? Probably not gonna happen. It would be nice, but with my luck being what it is I'm not going to hold my breath.

The above mentioned hilts would be great for doing my spins and orbits, and I don't have to risk dropping my Dark Arbiter and messing that up.

So whatever I happen to get will still be cool!

Oooops, I forgot to mention it has an Arctic Blue blade and the black a/v switch.

So, the value is $100.00. Not bad, I'm not going to complain. This will be great to toss around and it's lighter than my Dark Arbiter.

And with the 32" blade I won't hit the ceiling as much. Windows would've been nice, but it's not a big deal.

I'm happy with this and the shipping was amazingly quick. So overall, this saber kicks ass!

My next saber will be the Prophecy with sound, or maybe I'll send in my DA for a sound upgrade.

I agree, it's a classic case of elegant simplicity and it's a lot of fun. I did wish it had the silver a/v instead of the black so it'll match up better with the Dark Arbiter, but the more I play with it  the less I care about that.

Just got my first Ultra Saber today!  Aeon LE V4, with windows in the emitter, blue blade, blue-silver power button, belt clip, and the Shock LE Pommel.  Pretty impressed with the overall look and feel of it.

(https://i.imgur.com/VotTrOB.jpg)


And it definitely stands out amonst my other sabers.  Even with the light sound option, it has a distinctly better sound than the Luke Skywalker saber I have.  Kinda like going from standard def to HD on your TV.  When you don't have it, you don't know what you're missing, but once you experience it you can't go back!  Really makes me wonder how much better the more expensive sound options can be...

Wow! That Aeon is a great looking hilt!

I'm hearing what you're saying about the sound difference, and I have a Dark Sentinel LE v4 and it's a stunt, but if what you're saying about the volume difference is that drastic, I'm leaning towards upgrading mine to a v4 sound then and that makes sense to me since I enjoy goofing around with it more than the heavier Dark Arbiter stunt that I have.

And that Shock LE pommel really sets yours off nicely. The Aeon/Sentinel/Dominix lines are great hilts and a simple pommel change adds a nice touch. I put the DA pommel on my DS and it really enhanced the look for sure.

Finally with the Smugglers Deals and Flash Sale, I pulled the trigger on it Monday.

Out of curiosity, at that point, why wouldn't you just do a diamond controller?  I think it comes out within a few dollars of that.

Post by: Edon Bluewolf on June 29, 2018, 03:34:21 PM
Yes after about 11 weeks I got it.  Also got the hot pink prophecy I order for my wife from US the same day coincidentally.  US took less than a week to get it to me.  Conclusion, huge difference in wait time and customer service response time.  US trounces their competition on that aspect!

Going to try out both at an event this Saturday.  I'll post pics in the you and your saber thread afterwards.


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Infinit01 on June 29, 2018, 03:51:51 PM
Nice, and I agree that US trumps the others in customer service and shipping. I also prefer their sabers over the others, sure, the others have some nice sabers as well.  I recently watched a YouTuber reviewing saber companies and he was negatively biased against US stating that people buy from them since they're cheap on price and cheaply made with bad quality but praised other saber companies and love that they had cheap prices... Didn't make sense to me one bit.

Just ordered a War Glaive emitter without claws and a 32 inch ultra edge heavy grade blade for my Shock LE. Love the hilt design but the emitter is a bit too big for my small hands. Figure the choke on the WG emitter will be a better fit for me and the windows (vents?) on it will look great for spinning!

Been thinking of a grab bag to use up my reward points hoping to get a Dark Standard Issue with vertical grooves especially after watching Lord Sidious' video of his beater.  Just noticed the deal of the day knocked it down to the price of said grab bag so an impulse buy and a few clicks later, here I am waiting for my new arctic blue stunt DSI.

I had absolutely zero intention of entering the raffle, or ordering anything at all really.  Then I saw the Butcher, salivated for about 30 seconds, cried "TAKE MY MONEY", and gave in to the most perfect rope-a-dope of all time.  So not only did I preorder that, I pulled the trigger on something I had in my wishlist for the last year.

Dark Prophecy v3 Stunt - Sentinel Yellow; all with the intention of turning it into an ancient saber complete with cable and battery pack.

And the Butcher - Obsidian Sound, Black Accents, Dark Violet Amethyst, Emitter WITH windows.

Can't wait.

I also was not going to enter the summer raffle, but the Guardian just came up on flash sale, 25% off and I just had to make the order.

Diamond card capable, nickel finish, white illuminated black av switch, price went from $519 to $389.

Was a bit peeved that I needed to add the summer raffle code first before the flash25. Kept popping an error.


I now just can't wait till I receive this saber awesomeness.

I'd also double check with Marlena to make sure that you're in the raffle just to make sure. Whenever I add the flash code, it knocks out the raffle code since we're typically not able to use them both at the same time but they let us get away with it because they're awesome.

Chalion, a diamond Guardian for that price is a great deal, congrats! And if you can get in the raffle then you can't really beat that.

I'm waiting on my first acrylic blade from the other guys.  Was really hoping to use it for my azure Reaper but it looks like it might not fit the length of the blade socket, but bought it anyway as I am sure it will fit a couple of my other sabers.

That's an awesome price for that saber, chalion.

Was a bit peeved that I needed to add the summer raffle code first before the flash25. Kept popping an error.

Are you sure it took? The flash sale codes don't work with other codes. I just tried putting a Diamond Prophecy in my cart. I put in the raffle code and it showed up on the order. I put in the flash sale code and it took that but removed the raffle code. You may want to e-mail customer service so that, if it didn't take, you can be manually entered in the raffle.

Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I'm waiting (not impatiently) for my stunt Prophecy I ordered this morning. Tri Cree CG, 32" midgrade blade and silver AV. Just about $100 with the flash code, plus shipping. :D I opted for USPS as opposed to FedEx, as I usually get mail in the morning and FedEx delivers whenever it's convenient for their drivers. (depends on routes and other deliveries in the area)

The raffle code and the flash codes don’t work together. As long as the price before tax and shipping meets the entry requirements, email Marlena and she’ll add you manually. It’s the only way. I had to do it before

That sounds awsome Sci-fi!! It’s funny, I’m so mad to win something in the raffle Im almost not thinking about my entry saber all that much (Manticore, light sound, sunriders, GB flash, blue illum av, high pommel).

Currently waiting on a Dominix LE V4. Got it with a standard size 36" UEHG blade, windowed emitter, and Obsidian Lite sound in Arctic Blue. This will be my first saber with sound so I hope it turns out well. Also ordered 2 more UEHG blades (32") for my stunt pair after I beat their blades to death. Can't wait to see it when it gets here!

I was being good - I was being really really good, hadn’t ordered a saber in quite some time, was being a good boy, and then? 

The Butcher.  It ruined me lol.  And since I was giving in to get my hands on hat I also pulled the trigger on a wishlist saber for a project.

Butcher with Obsidian v4 sound, Dark Violet Amethyst, no flash

And

Dark Prophecy v3 with Obsidian v4 sound, Sentinel Yellow, no flash
- which I’m going to turn into an “Ancient Saber” complete with cable & batter pack, looking like something some force user found at the bottom of a junk pile, and had to piece back together. 

October needs to hurry up and get here ;)

Just happened to be surfing the site (for Butcher size comparisons, actually), and saw a flash sale for the Dark Prophecy. Having wanted that hilt since day 1, I jumped on it as an empty hilt in an attempt to build it myself. I know many of you have built your own from an empty hilt, so I'm sure I will have questions galore for you, but in the meantime, I can't wait for it to get here. The plan is to do it in SY with a Red illuminated AV switch... should be awesome when it's done.

I will try to get a build thread going, as I don't see too many of them, especially with regards to wiring. I'm certainly looking forward to the process of not only building, but customizing this saber as much as possible

I took advantage of the flash sale on the Dark Prophecy the last time it was offered.

I have silver a/v, v4 sound, BR w/ VA FOC and a silver covertec wheel.

I love mine. I was sooooo tempted to pull the trigger on the last Prophecy sale, but I had to take care of a few things, but the next flash sale it's on, I'm so getting it.

Both versions of the Prophecy are just cool as heck!

received an email about my prize, and had the idea of using it as a donor for the D Prophecy build. Paid $30 to upgrade the grab bag to a black AV switch and a SY LED. Fingers crossed the Prophecy and my prize use the same LED module. Prophecy hilt should be here Saturday, and I can't wait to get the grab bag and get to work

Most (if not all) of the grab bags I've ever seen are of the same hilt type as the Prophecy; they don't have removable emitters. So, they would use the same LED module.

However, I wouldn't worry too much anyway. Even if the Prophecy and your prize don't use the same LED module, you can switch the LED between heat sinks pretty easily. They just unscrew, and the ones Ultrasabers uses have channels on the sides for the wires to go through. The LED can be quite easily removed without desoldering the wires, or anything else that messes with the wiring.

Dark Apprentice v5 - PRESALE × 1

Diamond sound with RGB-A
Black non-illuminated AV switch
Blazing Red with orange flash on clash

15% off and points discount reduced it to $298.

Glad I read the forum posts Suggestion Box/Wishlist: what do we want from Ultrasabers?

I would not have known otherwise. VERY tempted to get the Initiate V5 too, but can only afford one and I just HAD to order my first RGB-A equipped saber.

Slightly off topic. I was searching newer CNC vs HAAS machines and came across this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NutStjpWJck (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NutStjpWJck)

This shows a HAAS machine making many of the same type parts (non-saber parts - general aluminum blocks). Back in 2012 I was taught on that series of HAAS, but if you listen to the tech talk about how LONG it takes to mill one part vs a dozen, you'll understand why I made this post.

Pretty sure US doesn't use this machine, as it is INSANELY expensive.

The ones in the raffle were probably the prototypes. Ultrasabers has been known to slip prototypes into raffle prizes. So, when the official release is won't affect when people get those as prizes.

As I said, not everyone shares their prizes, nor do they have to. It's possible people already have the prototypes and we'll never know.

Waiting patiently for my new Spectre.  My very first saber.
For a Diamond driver with white A/V switch and most all the options except for the handle etching.  I didn't care for the circuitry pattern. 
Should be here tomorrow!

Can anyone recommend a good soundfont for it?  I'm looking for something loud, maybe with a warble to it that sounds a little more like a machine than a saber.  Kinda like the sound of the spinning MCP in the original Tron movie but with more background hum. 

Can't wait!  Ok, maybe I'm not all that patient!  :D

Oh wow, that's almost perfectly what I had in mind Edon! 

I listened to Firkrann as well but that one sounded too much like a bug-zapper for my taste.  Lord blako has some really nice saberfonts though.  I bought a couple of them for alternate sets.  I wish saberfonts.com would have preview clips rather than link youtube videos.  If I have to sit through one more bloody 45 second intro, I swear I'm going to go dark side! :)

Do the Diamond boards have as many problems with Windows 10/USB3.0 as I've heard other boards having?  I honestly don't know if I have anything still using USB2 laying around.

I had lots of problems updating and changing effects and sounds on my Diamond saber with my wife's Windows 10 laptop even with a USB hub.  I did not encounter those issues when I originally setup my saber with my Windows 7 laptop (after I bought the USB hub). 

Not sure what the problem was but I could not get it to write the correct colors to the board.  When the saber was connected and I ran the test, everything worked perfectly and I got exactly the colors and effects I wanted.  As soon as I disconnected, the saber colors no longer matched what I had just tested and written onto the board when I triggered the effect.  When I deleted the bank and reinstalled the saved font and effects, again tested perfectly, again same mismatch of colors when saber was disconnected.  Extremely frustrating so I just left it and have not tried to update/change anything since for fear of it messing up my current settings which are 90% exactly how I want them.  Haven't tried to mess with it since but now that I got my old laptop back, maybe I will try to fix it.

Yeah the shipment notifications will need to come out first and then people should start receiving.  So far I haven't gotten one and haven't seen anyone else report they did.

I placed an order today for some materials to make two enhanced blue blades, and a very short red dayblade my son wants.  So waiting on that in the meantime.

Savior stunt in Sentinel yellow. It was a spur of the moment decision, but I decided I wanted in on the presale, which should be ending soon. I cashed in my reward points and, all in with shipping, just under $150. I can handle that.  8)

I will, of course, be adding sound to it later. I already have a KOTOR font that I bought last year.

Took longer than usual to get my stuff from TCSS, thought maybe I won something in their raffle but doesn't look like it.  Anyway I'll post pics once I assemble my new enhanced blue blade.  Keeps me busy while I wait for my US stuff.

I would think that since US is not in the business of making or selling soundfonts, it shouldn't be an issue as not a direct competitor.

I was tempted to order the Consular, but I have my 3 - V5's on order (all diamond, 2 with RGB-A) and didn't want to order another diamond saber during this event. I almost cancelled the Graflex CE order, but it always pulled my interest and wanted to scratch that itch now so I could have it for Halloween. Too many of my non-diamond sabers are blue, so I wanted something a bit different and my stunt Archon v3.1 in tri-cree consular green always looked good, but the location of the led module (to me), makes the light a bit less bright than one just at the emitter. So the Graflex CE is my experiment to see how good the CG is in tri-cree compared to the Archon v3.1.

Well as someone who started with a Graflex CE as his first purchase, it's awesome, though you went with the brighter green vs me with regular consular green, and the V4 sound mine is v3, and I got a regular black switch and chrome buttons, but either way as I started the graflex CE is awesome.

Yep, I've had that one too. Before, I've had some stupid crap show up on the tracking saying something like "unable to access location because business was closed." That would make sense, if I didn't always have my stuff delivered to my residence. And, this was with stuff that didn't have to be signed for, someone just didn't even try to deliver it.

I've had issues with them to where I try to go UPS whenever possible. I don't like FedEx's insistence on signature on delivery for a lot of stuff, because I work hours to where I sleep in the afternoon. That's when FedEx always wants to deliver. I'll say this for the USPS: I usually get mail in the morning. So, provided they deliver my saber tomorrow as scheduled, I should have it before I go to bed.

Sorry to hear your delivery didn't happen. I hope it gets resolved soon.

Amazon contracts USPS to deliver on Sundays. They'll only deliver Amazon packages that day and nothing else

I have an Amazon package showing delivered today "Your package was left in the mail room". I'm guessing that means USPS was given the package but didn't deliver it today. Dammit.

Marlena told me v5 sabers wouldn’t be released until November. The only plus to having to wait that long is my b-day is in November and I can use that as an excuse as to why a random saber box was delivered. Not sure if I’ll buy a pre sale saber again. I’m to anxious/impatient/selfish/sabercrazy. My heart goes out to all who have been waiting for their saviors and butchers.

Careful with credit cards GF, they lead down the road to the dark side..."forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you they will" (that is unless you make a habit of paying off in full every month)  ;)

I'm not waiting on anything anymore which I am glad.  USPS delivered two days earlier than promised so minor miracle there but then again I live about an hour away from the US shop.  They didn't knock though, they just left the box on the doorstep as I was waiting like a puppy next to the door to sign for it but didn't have to.

None of the 3 I (so far) ordered have claws as an option, so I won't know. That may change if there's a discount promotion after this Halloween event.

I cannot comment about funding of sabers. That's the responsibility of the people whom buy them.

Mostly blades and chargers etc. I usually do an order and ask everyone that I know who has sabers if they need anything. Cheaper on shipping that way.

Thanks all, anything will be great (because it's from US), but I wouldn't mind getting a higher end saber (keep hopes high and expectations low though). I will be happy with whatever I get.

In two to two-and-a-half months I'll have the funds to purchase the one that's been sitting in my cart for a couple of months (and yes, like a small child, I often go and look at it in my cart :P).

It's an Aeon V4 with a Catalyst pommel and a blue illuminated silver switch. The blade is Violet Amethyst, Ultra Midgrade with a pointed tip. It's a Diamond controller, since it's going to be my "primary" (I intend to buy a lot of sabers) and I want to go all-out.

I love the look of the thing: the tapered neck (that has a nice since of symmetry with the way the pommel terminates) and the multiple choke-points, the sleek design.

received my Consular 2 hours before the kids went for trick-or-treating and it was immediately put to use and was a great hit. Which was damn lucky, since my Graflex blade came loose and I lost the blade screw. Ordered replacements and they're due tomorrow, but it was quite annoying.

Well, I just ordered a Butcher with Obsidian V4. But, it's for the raffle they just announced, so a bit of a wait. But, I coulnd't resist, especially while the presale is still up and you get it reduced and with that sick blade plug. Anywho, raffle or no raffle, I'm stoked to have one of those on order. 8)

I thought about the Butcher for the raffle, but I just can't see my tiny hands wielding it, especially after seeing Therion Jinn's review.

Ordered my Dark Monarch and Chosen One CE from my wish list, so that is complete for this calendar year, 2018. Threw 2 mystery boxes on the order so I could add all the extra codes in.

Now, just to wait for this order of 4 sabers, plus the pre-ordered Dark Apprentice V5, Sentinel LE V5 & Dark Sentinel LE V5......................

Going to be a fun month.

May post a few pics, but video review is not for me. My sarcasm filter seems to be broken and is too expensive to get repaired.


 Just noticed that the EH dropped off my wish list, but the Dark Monarch was on it? Guess I need to use sarcasm on myself.

Also noticed my order for the raffle entry accrued no points for a future order (had built a EH and saw no points were there to be used).

I'll try. :) There will definitely be a video. I don't review sound sabers without a video. After all, there's nothing like a bunch of still pics and a comment like "it sounds great." :P Though, I totally understand if people don't want to or can't do videos. (though, most can, I use my phone camera) I reviewed my first sound saber, the Electrum Wind, without a video because I wasn't doing them yet. (that Obsidian setup now resides in my Consular)

Anyway, back to stalking the USPS waiting for my saber. It looks like it's left Texas.

Ok, You Tube does not like me. My current password didn't work, they had the wrong phone # and now I put a ticket in in they put a hold on my access for 24-48 hours.

Guess I should log into it more than 2 times a year.

The over all look of it at its price grew on me, the choice of button color was also a perk, and I think it's a nice design to go opposite of my Spectre.

It's one of those hilts I looked at a couple years ago and never thought too much about ordering. For one thing, I thought the Covertec location would be inconvenient, but the Prophecy proved it's not a big issue. Plus, I don't do combat, just some spinning and fun, so no major worries. Anyway, recent reviews have me looking at it again. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it. It looks like one I'd like to order as an empty and build, if I get one. (though, those new V5s are probably going to be my next empty orders)

I'll do my best to give a proper review. As for the V5's I'd like a Dominix and possibly 2 Sentinels to make a staff, but that might be like a year away so who knows.

It's not like they're going anywhere. There are occasional out of stocks, but Ultrasabers stays on top of things, especially with the lower tier sabers. (best sellers)

I definitely need an Aeon LE V5, probably a Dark Sentinel V5 (gotta love straight black) and one each of the smaller sabers. I only have one Initiate and have never gotten an Apprentice, despite loving the design. So, I'll get an Apprentice V5, probably an LE.  That will probably take many months to accumulate, plus you never know when new releases are going to pop in there. :)

This is why on delivery instructions I noted for them to push the porch door but firmly cause it sticks and sometimes feels like it is locked when it is not. Just so that can't be an excuse to not deliver it.

This is why on delivery instructions I noted for them to push the porch door but firmly cause it sticks and sometimes feels like it is locked when it is not. Just so that can't be an excuse to not deliver it.

My suggestion. Make a FedEx account, no need to use anything other than basic registration, then download the FedEx app for your phone. Link the account and if you have packages shipped via FedEx, it automatically updates with tracking info, delivery estimates, routing problems due to almost anything imaginable. Big benefit to using the FedEx account is that you can customize your deliveries to allow then to be changed while in route.

This is how I found out my V5 order shipped. I had notification of a tracking label was made BEFORE I was notified by UltraSabers that the order was completed and due to ship.

This is why whenever I make an order around any Holiday or world event, I ship via FedEx. USPS and UPS have messed my deliveries up many times in the last few months of the year. I avoid using them unless the place i'm ordering from only uses them. Yes, FedEx can cost more, but the peace of mind I get from using them offsets that cost.


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: scifidude79 on December 07, 2018, 12:04:43 AM
With FedEx, you can print out a form, sign it and tape it to your front door. Though, they have to be able to take it, so it can't be inside a screen door that locks. Anyway, you're basically pre-signing for it. I did that once with an Ultrasabers order because I had to go to work, and they took the form and left the package. Basically, they need some kind of signature on file to release the package.

Well, the USPS doesn't seem to know where my latest US package is, it's been "in transit to next facility" for two days now. ::) Yesterday being declared a Federal holiday didn't help matters. Fortunately, the motor we needed for our clothes dryer was coming via FedEx, so that was delivered. But, it's frustrating when the tracking has BS on it, and no solid information. And, the USPS saying "your package is arriving later than expected (duh) but it's still on its way" doesn't set my mind at ease. They've lost packages before and won't admit it on the tracking page.

Good stuff. I like how Ultrasabers can commit to a release time and hit it, give or take a couple weeks' leeway. Emory estimated them shipping in November, we're two weeks into December. Not bad at all for a whole line release on the heels of two other releases.

My Brood Guard will be here on Friday! I'm insanely excited. I got it with a short 16 inch blade in Guardian blue. My ceiling is a little too low for spinning and it's too cold outside to practice comfortably out there until the spring. I was pretty bummed until I ran across this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m09WIW9vV6Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m09WIW9vV6Y)

featuring the Tonfa style Brood Guards. I did some more research on Tonfa fighting and it seems like these sabers could be super fun. I couldn't afford a pair right now, so I'm going to have one Brood Guard and one practice Tonfa that I picked up at a martial arts store until I've decided I want to commit.

Literally giddy about being able to play with sabers without freezing to death or punching a hole in my ceiling.  ;D ;D

My Brood Guard came! A few days early even.

Will post photos soon. I'm in love with this thing. In the Star Wars universe it probably wouldn't make a good weapon, since my elbow basically rests on the blade when held like a Tonfa, and if you swung too hard back towards your body, you'd take a chunk out of your side. But since I'm in no danger of cleaving myself in half, I really like it! I think it's fun and flashy and different. Would 100% recommend a pair of these.

If you had a small pot you could vary the resistance to get different color tones. Perhaps of the AV had the ability to be different colors already the pot could limit the color changing to a more manual range, then you could adjust it for more specific ranges.

I actually found a Neopixel AV switch on Etsy, but reviews said the guy takes forever or never ships them. I'm about to take one apart, can probably fashion some kind of RGB LED in there whether its Neopixel or a standard 4 pin

Spectre an excellent choice, in SRD non the less. Can't wait to see.

Oh it counts Zren, it definitely counts. I never even got to mess around with my emerald V5 raffle prize. It came on Saturday around 3 and went back out Monday 10am. So now I'm patently waiting for my new saber to return to me. Hope yours comes soon.

Three Sabers. One flexes pretty well, the other one has been chosen and the third is synonymous with Padawan. I'm sure you can figure it out. My three sabers, plus some extra blades, got me into free Initiate and Grab Bag territory. :)

Post by: Darth Davester on February 19, 2019, 07:32:02 PM
I ordered stuff from Amazon Prime last weekend, and there was no problems or slow downs.

It probably just affected UPS, FedEx and the USPS the most.


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Karmack on February 19, 2019, 07:35:44 PM
Mine is still on track for end of the day tomorrow....   


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: scifidude79 on February 19, 2019, 11:33:11 PM
Well, the package that experienced slowdowns were shipped from Amazon and Ebay, but the slowdowns came from the delivery companies. Though, not everything from Amazon Prime gets delivered in two days anyway. I placed an order on Friday, it was shipped in two shipments, both were showing delivery dates for today, one was shipped from USPS, the other UPS. However, the USPS has a deal with Amazon where they'll deliver on Sunday, so they actually delivered their half of my shipment on Sunday. The UPS part was delivered today. (that part came across the country, so the slowdown was justified) UPS and FedEx flat out won't pick up or deliver on Saturday or Sunday without stupidly high fees. My tracking number for Ultrasabers was provided on Friday, with a delivery date of tomorrow. However, FedEx didn't pick it up until Monday, but that would have happened without the holiday too. (especially since they actually worked on the holiday, unlike the USPS) It will now be delivered on Thursday. But, that's not that bad, coming from Texas. I also have two packages from Ebay that couldn't even start moving until today, thanks to the USPS being mostly closed yesterday. But, it happens.

For the spring sale, I ordered 2 consulars with diamond boards, 2 yari pikes, a quick release coupler, and 2 sets of colored disks. And there will be a grab bag and mystery saber included in the box. Package came today! Downside? I'm in Japan for another 4 months, so I'll have to use the force (facetime) to verify the contents. Should be interesting seeing my mother do the unboxing.

Oh, I went for the 15% discount. I wasn't aware that a raffle would be held the day after that sale would end...I stand by my decision. All in all, I had a hearty laugh when my mother sparked the first lightsaber with sound, she was completely unaware of the power she held, pretty sure she connected to the force in that moment XD

Yup, refund.   I balance my withholding carefully to pay the minimum amount possible, but I alway err on the side of caution because my budget can better handle an unexpected influx of cash than an unexpected payment.   So I always get a little back.  Not the multi-thousand dollars that some of my neighbors seem to expect, but a little bit.

Enough for a saber raflle.  :-)

Child credit bought our sabers. Mystery boxes show they will be here tomorrow USPS. So probably wont get them till Monday. No one will be home to sign for them.

The first 3 are going to brother in law and family for xmas along with a SIB no lines in GB, and Sentinel LE v4 with windows in FO

The forth which my husband has decided to keep was an Archon v2.1 with Emerald Driver and sound. Still trying to figure out his motivation to keep that one. Cant put my finger on why. ::)

I went to Celebration for the first time a couple weeks ago and I was kinda wowed by all the different lightsabers I saw.  Before then I had only seen the glass ones you can't duel with and the $15 plastic ones at Walmart.   After I got home I started looking into it and eventually ordered my first one (dark savior) on April 21st.      Fabrication time was listed as 4-7 days, but I expected a little delay due to chumps like me ordering after celebration.  I didn't know there was a rush to order sabers during the giveaway lottery, and I didn't even sign up for it because I missed entering the code (rookie mistake #1).

Rookie mistake #2 was not checking yes for FOC, so I had to get my order amended, which may or may not have shifted me back in line.   That got fixed up and I ordered a mystery box to tide me over.   That arrived this past Tuesday and my original order is still in process, so my official first lightsaber is a aeon LE v3 in consular green (I think).

Just FYI, I ordered one of Amazon when I got my Butcher. Don't remember the exact specs. But figure it out and that's just two days shipping. I will look up on old orders and see if I can send you the link.

Was notified Malice large claws have 15-16 weeks lead time (after I ordered), what a bummer.  I kinda don't want the small claws, wonder if I should switch to another empty hilt then...or just wait that long to do my first build.  I want it to be a special saber though.  :-\

Post by: Malik Thanewulf on May 06, 2019, 04:19:28 AM
Edon, I know waiting sucks, but you said you wanted to do a special build. If you have to wait to accomplish that, then so be it. We all know there's nothing like holding the saber you've always wanted. You feel cheated somehow, if you don't do it the way you really want to. I waited for the angled switch on my Emperor's Hand for about 13-14 weeks. Every time I hold it, I know I made the right decision. Sometimes you shouldn't settle for less. Just my opinion. Do what works for you.

I don't mind waiting - If I had some sort of ETA... "It will take another 4 weeks." spares me checking my inbox everyday for an unknown amount of time hoping to get a shipping notice, only to be let down when all I get is advertising. (Heh, sorry, I can't order my second lightsaber until the first one arrives. ;) ) And I do know there's quite a few back orders going on, so I'll try to be as patient as a Jedi. (Still in "processing"...)

So i ordered a Diamond Spectre, and emerald Aeon v5 and Dominix v5 on the 4th. With further information, i decided to upgrade those Emeralds to Diamond after i have already placed the order/payed. Even though i wanted to do it the same day... big mistake. I cant reach anyone on the phone after multiple calls on different times and days. Those two emails given never got Anywhere... i had to come to forums to find a different more direct email for costumer service and after a day i finally got an answer. I have been waiting for a reply to that for 2 days now.

Im thinking... holy smokes man, talk about playing hard to get. Never hard to work this hard to upgrade anything, and now im not even sure it will be done since its been 5 days, and not sure i want it done seeing as to how much the delay is on everything!

How much do you guys have to wait to get a package on average? And i leave in Florida. Nowhere crazy that the post man would have to climb a mountain, wrestle a mountain lion and freefall to my house.

I hope you guys believe all this hassle is worth it. I usually would not treat with any company with such poor costumer service ever again. Specially after spending over $1,000

I feel your pain! Do not worry though. Your experience is almost unheard of. Ultrasabers has the best customer service I have ever experienced.  They must have something going on. In fact I think I heard on the news that there is heavy flooding happening in their area right now. That could be the reason for the delay, maybe?
 Great choice to upgrade to diamond sabers! You will be so happy when you have them in hand and forget about the unusual delay.  Try to be optimistic. If ultrasabers doesn't do right by you, you will be the first example of that happening.  So I wouldn't worry if I were you.
 Yes any hassle will be worth it! Ultrasabers diamond sabers are the best thing out there.

Friendswood is definitely in the area impacted by the floods.  Here is a tweet from the National Weather Service:

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect starting today at 1 PM and continuing through Saturday 7 PM. Forecasted rainfall totals estimate about 5 to 8 inches widespread, with isolated 9 to 12 inches possible through the weekend. #txwx

Then I lit it up, and the dog was not happy at all. I can't tell if it was the color or the sound. She had no problem barking bravely at the delivery person, though. :D

There was no way I wasn't getting a Graflex; it's Luke's saber from ANH and ESB...it was a given.
Even though some of the folks in the San Diego Sabers FB group were telling me that it's really bulky, I didn't care; if it's anything like my ForceFX Graflex, I'll be fine. I brought the hilt with me when I bought my lacrosse gloves, swung it around...it was pretty comfy.

This is my first saber...but I went with the Diamond controller.
I wasn't going to, at first...but I wanted a custom color, and I watched the tutorial videos; I was like, "This looks just like editing video or doing animation...I can do this. I have ideas for this!"
I've seen some people go all Christmas-lights-y, but I'm gonna go for a certain kind of realism, sticking with a consistent color scheme and movie-accurate sounds. But I have some ideas for the ignition sequence, and some ideas for swinging...give both a little more emphasis, a little more oomph.

I honestly can't wait. I just wish I knew how long until it arrives... *bouncebounce*

Ordered my first saber May the 4th. Order went in May 5th. Marlena said it's been fabricated and it will ship on Tuesday :). My first ProffieBoard arrives on Tuesday and I'll be slowly learning how it works and how to program so i can build my own saber in the future.

Very nice!   What saber did you order?   And welcome to the addiction!

That's about 24 days.

Good to know. we're at 16 days.

I don't want to pester Marlena until it's passed what others are waiting.

I ordered a Consular on May 19 when it was part of the 25% off flash sale.  I still waiting on that shipment email.  I want to order a stunt Dominix V2 for my wife (it's on her wish list), but I might wait a couple of weeks to see if they get caught up on the current orders.  I think the combination of flooding a few weeks ago (which according to my sister in law who lives in that area was not "too bad") and Cons US is involved in is causing the delays.

US is wating for a shipment of chargers for the in hilt charging port extra I bought. That is why mine saber has been delayed since purchasing it on May 4th. Marlena emailed me today about it. I asked her to go ahead and ship it because I also bought an external battery charger. They'll ship the charger out separately when they arrived some time next week. Marlena is the best. My saber finally ships tomorrow :)

Janx, what hilt did you order those specs on?  They must be busy with a backlog of installs.

I'm still waiting on my parts from TCSS to complete my first install myself.  However US shipped my empty Azure Dorinian and extra Azure Saviour emitter so fast that it arrived in approximately 24 hrs.

Azure Savior.

And the USPS site now says "Arriving Late"  :(

No clue if that means 8pm like the page says is the upper bound, or unlikely to arrive today

I ordered on May the 4th... still waiting impatiently. No email about charger shortages. When I ordered, I made a special request, which was approved. I was told 10-14 business days. I was sent an automatic email by “shopper approved” a couple weeks back, saying I should contact US if I hadnt gotten my saber yet. I sent an email saying I assumed my saber was not done yet, but was asking because “shopper approved” said I should. After a couple days I got an email from US saying that I should tell them if I wanted to pay extra so I could get faster shipping. This left me with the impression that it was ready to be shipped. That was ten days ago. I read here that people who ordered after me already have their sabers, and that is more than a little frustrating. It can’t take that much longer to wire a diamond board, can it? In case you’re wondering, the special request was putting the charge port on the front of the saber instead of the back. I know it cant take longer to drill a hole, especially since it is the Consular. They only have to go through the body instead of the body AND the shroud, so it should have been easier, right?

Sorry... don’t mean to whine... ordered custom parts for it and some grab bag blades... guess it’s now a race to see which gets here first...!  😜 if the parts get here first, at least that means I can immediately start swapping when the saber gets here. That way, I don’t risk getting used to the incorrect balance...!

Now I'm waiting on seven, yes SEVEN, more sabers.  I'm getting in on the "Great Summer Giveaway".  I ordered the following:

Diamond Controller
Diamond Controller LED Type: RGBW LED
Blade color: Sentinel Yellow for Diamond
Battery Configuration: Li-Ion Setup
Recharge Port: Recharge Port + 1.2A Fast Charger
Blade Length: 24" Initiate Size
Blade Option: UltraEdge Midgrade
Switch Type: Silver Non-Illuminated AV Switch
Bottom Button Color: Black
Top Button Color: Gold
Blade Plug: Circle Plug

For Me:
Menace SE
Diamond Controller
Diamond Controller LED Type: RGBW LED
Blade color: Guardian Blue for Diamond
Flash on Clash: Flash Silver for Diamond
Pulse Mode: Diamond Pulse to Red
Battery Configuration: Li-Ion Setup
Recharge Port: Recharge Port + 1.2A Fast Charger
Blade Length: 36" Standard Size
Blade Option: UltraEdge Midgrade
Bottom Knurled Screw: Red
Middle Knurled Screw: Red

Because of this, I've qualified for all four free sabers: Initiate, Grab Bag, Mystery Box, and Frankensaber.  It's weird (and cool) that in one order my wife and I will double our saber arsenal.

After I got two Mystery Boxes at Awesome Con, my younger brother really wanted to get saber for himself. I had been hesitating to get another, but I decided that if an order was going to be placed, I might as well bite and get the one I had been looking at, and snag an Initiate as well.

I got the Savior in Pyrestone Orange (I loved the look of the Heart of the Guardian crystal in KotOR), and my brother got the Dark Sentinel V5 in Sunrider's Destiny with the Dark Catalyst pommel. I'm hoping the free Initiate is one of the newer models (who wouldn't?), but if it's a V2, I'll get a coupler so I can turn my Dominix into a staff.

The order went in a week and a half ago, so my brother has naturally been asking about if they shipped yet on a daily basis (Patience, young Padawan). I will absolutely post photos once they arrive.

Just ordered 2 Shock LE emitters, plus 4 adjustable Flush Coupler with Vents (2 of each color) and got a 15% discount from the Amazon Prime offer.

Shock emitters are for the Dominicide LE I have on pre-order (i'm not a fan of the claws on the provided emitters) and the adjustable flush couplers I intend to use for pommels on my 4 V5 lightsabers to see how well they'll work. I had purchased 8 Grand Master pommels but was not satisfied with how they looked on the V5's - but those look nice on the Graflex lightsaber variants I own.

Ohhhhhhhh damn...so much for keeping the credit card balance down :D

I have been visiting US for years, adding to wishlist, dreaming, scoffing at the notion of parting with so much $$ for these things.  Yesterday, however, I took the plunge and placed my first order...which then turned into a late night SECOND order - I SWEAR that alcohol was not involved!!!  Ya, I'm screwed! ;D

May I ask the veterans of the forum:  I assume US orders spike much higher during promotional periods such as August?  Am I correct in assuming this turns lead time into weeks as opposed to days?  Oh god this is gonna be tough!! :D

#1 Graflex SE with Emerald & Obsidian v4, illuminated AV, gold buttons, etc...
#2 Chosen One CE, equally loaded

Post by: Malik Thanewulf on August 02, 2019, 04:01:38 PM
You are correct. As the raffle is just getting started, they tend to hold off until winners are announced,  usually. If you're a winner. I think (don't quote me) if you don't win, you might get your sabers sooner.

Yes. The main issue that causes the wait is the sheer numbers of orders that take place during the raffle.

Also just got a heads up my order arrived-that was FAST. Less than a week actually. Maybe if i stare at the timeclock itll go faster...

I'll go back to impatiently saving up funds.  :(

Placed my very first order yesterday:
> Phantom v4 - Blazing Red - Stunt
> Sentinel v4 Staff - Guardian Blue - Stunt
> Phantastm v4 w/windows - Counselar Green - Stunt
> Dark Initiate V2 - Fire Orange - Stunt

The order is still in 'processing'-stage. Do you get a track and trace ones it is send? How long untill it's send? Does anybody know how long shipping takes to the Netherlands?

And yes, I'm impatiently waiting!  ;D

You will get a tracking notification when they ship it.   I can't say for sure what the shipping time will be, but in the USA it is generally 2-3 days.  I would imagine a week to two would be likely, depending on what customs is like.

And that is a very large group of sabers!   Enjoy!

Two Diamond sabers, one FREEINITIATE, one FREEGRABBAG, one FREEMYSTERYBOX, and one FREECUSTOM...

While I will not record the unboxing, I should have pictures posted within 24 hours of receipt.  Videos... are a maybe; I have very little experience editing video.  The last time I did that, I was physically splicing film and videotape... on a reel, not a cassette (which had just come out to consumers at the time).

If you have a smartphone, it’s pretty easy, just shoot some footage and find the upload button on YT. We’ve come a long way since those reel jobs  :)

Thanks for the awnsers, and yes a pretty large group. I teach martial arts in the Netherlands and I'm starting a lightsaberproject with a few students, so I needed a few.

Yes, we have come a long way but I kinda miss using the old chinagraph pencil and splicing the tapes at 45deg (to avoid audio "Clicks") I used to help my local cinema's Chief Projectionist edit his showreels (and those film reels were over a metre in diameter and weighed a ton back in the 80's - luckily the audio tapes were smaller)

And to Tai Chi Chuan Wijchen, I hope your new academy flourishes! <see what I did there?

Sony Betamax was our cassette format of choice at that time, as an upgrade to the reels of tape.

RECORDING video with a smartphone is easy, and ridiculously high-quality for a tool supposedly designed for other purposes, and which includes photography and videography as an afterthought, and UPLOADING video files is also super-simple; it's the EDITING that I have not done yet-- you know, skipping or speeding through the boring parts, re-recording and splicing in something that was done incorrectly the first time through, adding text to note corrections instead of re-recording, adding an intro and an outro... all that stuff.  I'm pretty sure I can manage mounting my phone (in landscape mode) on a tripod and pointing it in the right direction, and I'm pretty sure I can get some lighting that isn't just plain DREADFUL, and I promise you I can talk loudly enough for the mic to pick up my voice (NO worries there!), but if I don't have at least some notes to read from, I'm pretty sure I'm going to mess things up more than I want to live with. 

I have never tried to edit a video on my phone, other than cutting off the excess so that I can keep the file size small enough to email.  I have never tried editing video on my laptop, either, but "everyone" assures me that's easy, too.  I just might find out, if I mess up badly enough or often enough trying to make review videos.

Hey DEAD MAN!  One thing to note: If you entered the raffle they will probably hold shipping the order until after the drawing, so they can ship any potential wins at the same time.  Its the one down-side to the raffle entry. :-)

Is this your first one?  Dont sweat the wait.  When it arrives you will forget all about it, especially with that emerald driver!  I waited 6 months for my first one because it was on back order and I barely remember  it.  Completely worth the wait.  They definitely hold raffle entry orders til the raffle is over.  It says it in fine print somewhere I think, otherwise they told me in an email when I asked last year.  Good luck in the raffle if you entered!

Hoping for the shipping email tomorrow!  Dual Apprentice v5 LE and quick release coupler staff and the Diamond Spectre!  I literally can't hold a conversation without segwaying to those sabers somehow.  This is of course followed by polite feigned interest and/or eyerolls from wife, neighbors, coworkers.

Looking forward to seeing other entries/prizes like Dillagaf's spectre and Karmack's Fallen!

I would doublecheck if the fallen is on back order.  It was very popular.

There is a set of instructions prior to the “place order” function being active that tells you to check the “in stock” status of the items on your order.  Also, if you look at the receipt you were emailed, it should probably state there whether or not it was in stock.

Hmm, it stated it was in stock. Random question, does anyone know what blade OD the fallen saber accepts? Is it 1" or 7/8"?

Emperor's Hand, Spectre are two awesome sabers and are part of a 3 way tie for me absolute favorite saber. You folks are going to be VERY HAPPY with your choices.  As for the Fallen, I feel once I have it in my collection...there will be a 4 way tie for my #1 saber in my collection.  I plan to make one slight modification to my Fallen.  I may just have to get it during the sith sale. Trying to wait for the next raffle....but I get paid multiple  times before this month ends...patience...all will be mine soon enough. Anyway, we're going to need to see pictures people.

I decided to start collecting the character inspired hilts and ordered up 5 sabers for Christmas for myself. A Chosen One SE, a Graflex SE, a Guardian, and a pair of Menace SEs. They are all in the character colors but stunts so i can more easily upgrade them later. I plan to do then with pixel blades as budget allows.

Funny thing i found with all the talk of order delays i looked through my order history and discovered that this order and my first ever order in 2014 are only 5 cents different. Both came out to $787.6x. Might be time to take a flight somewhere on a Dreamliner just to find where the fates want  me to go.

So I placed an order on the 20th and I just finished placing another about 5 minutes ago. Ultrasabers has recieved 6,811 orders in a week....no wonder were all having trouble getting ahold of them! My first order was 2 mystery boxes and I just ordered a D/A LE v4 w/windows stunt in blazing red. Ordering either my Graflex, Chosen one, or 1 of 2 Menace next week I just can’t decide which to do next lol haven’t even gotten my 1st saber yet and I’m already addicted! Anyway just thought I’d share that bit of insane info with everyone. Keep up the patience the force will guide us all to our sabers in due time.

The 6k comes from the order numbers...subtract the order number from the one he placed on Dec 20th from the one he placed today. And yup, I did the same thing...my kids are grown so now Mom can play! 1k worth of sabers ordered in 4 days time...I just wish I'd ordered them all together to be able to have picked up the free initiate saber for my granddaughter!

For those wondering abt shipping times, I ordered my wife's on the 20th and paid the extra money to get it here by Christmas. It arrived around 3pm Christmas Eve and she is over the moon ECSTATIC with her saber! Probably won't see the others til mid to late January but...it'll be worth the wait!

Yes that’s how I figured that out just a little math lol. I’ve already received confirmation on the order I placed today which I NEVER recieved on my 20th order so I guess until I can actually get a response from someone at US I payed them $150 for moral support...order from 20th still days cancelled and funds have never been refunded and still no response from marlena or anyone. I’m not losing faith but man I really could have used that $ for something else if they didn’t even receive the order in the first place..

My second saber and my wife's first saber. Ordered them on the 19th, so hopefully they come in on time for our anniversary in January and before she leaves for her business trip. I'm excited for a second Sun Rider's Destiny lightsaber (Dominix v4) and she got a violet amethyst.

Hey everyone, I'm ordering my very first saber (Azure Savior in SRD), together with some friends (their first sabers as well) and with all the orders US is getting right about now, and shipping to Europe, we're expecting it to take 5 - 6 weeks until it's here. I'd like it to be here by yesterday already :D I'm not sure how I will survive until February, but I'm SOOOOO excited!!

Title: MISSING ORDER- Zero replies to multiple emails and voicemails- FRAUD
Post by: OB1cantfindmysaber on January 05, 2020, 03:50:45 AM
On Dec. 4th, I purchased a saber for my son’s birthday. His birthday was Dec. 22nd.  Order #REDACTED. When I hadn’t received any shipping notification by Dec. 19, I started calling. I have called every couple days from Dec. 19. Only ONCE in all of those days was I able to leave a voicemail. Nobody ever called back. Every other time the VM was full and wouldn’t allow me to leave a VM. Go ahead and call them- you’ll get the same. I emailed a copy of the receipt to both ultrasaber email addresses multiple times. Never received one reply. I even logged into Wells Fargo and looked up the company phone number attached to the debit sale- nobody answered that phone either.
This was a big gift for my son. I got 3 people to chip in with me for this saber. Because of the Ultrasaber company, my son had NO GIFT on his birthday. I even sent an email asking for a shipping date so I could at least let him know when it was coming. Again, NO RESPONSE from them. It was right before Christmas so there was zero money to buy another saber from another company. It was pretty heartbreaking. Blowing out candles with not even one gift. Horrible. I’m absolutely disgusted by their lack of any contact- considering I reached out at least 15 times, they cannot say they didn’t receive my inquiries...and their grave lack of any attempt to even reply. I kept going to their page before Christmas and saw their site kept advertising how you could still order and get your saber in time for Christmas. I feel bad for anyone who was defrauded by them for Christmas.
I had no choice but to report I never received my purchase to my bank in order to get my money back.

As many, MANY satisfied customers will attest, UltraSabers is not in the business of defrauding people.  As others far more senior to the board than I am have said, this is not the place to handle complaints.

Unfort, I do believe it's going to be another "long-ish" wait time.

From Deep himself-
EMAILS TO WINNERS TO FOLLOW.   Please keep in mind that due to the high volume of orders there may be a 3-4 week leadtime for the shipment or prizes and prize winning orders.  We apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience.

Yep, knew this when I made my entries. I think 3-4 weeks is generous. I'm not anticipating seeing my orders be completed till sometime in March. (about the time The Empress may ship).

Tazflyr, when you’re right, you’re right, and I agree... seeing all the negativity is indeed a downer.  It’s like people don’t realize that any lead time given is an estimate, and therefore is not guaranteed, because changing facts (like a larger-than-anticipated number of orders, or an outbreak of a highly-contagious and sometimes-fatal virus in the part of the world where parts necessary to construct lightsabers are made) can impact the accuracy of the estimate.


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Galef on February 03, 2020, 06:47:45 PM
Estimate or not, I kinda wish they'd update it to 5-6 weeks instead of 3-4, since we know full well that the majority of custom orders are taking over a month at this point.  I'm betting they'd reduce a ton of frustration (and therefore emails) if they'd OVER estimate the lead time instead of UNDER estimating it.

I'm no longer frustrated at US as they've worked with me twice now to good results. I'm more frustrated with USPS for not updating the tracking info properly. Was supposed to arrive Friday 1/31 but didn't. Nor the next day.  Didn't even get an update on the status to "in transit to the next facility" until late Saturday, which is where it sits now.
It's in my town at this point, yet still "in the USPS network"

So to recap, ordered these the day after X-mas as a gift to myself, now is already my birthday over 5 weeks later and nothing.

I saw that UltraSabers was having trouble, but does anybody seem to know when I might see some change? Thanks

I'm Patiently waiting for my order placed on 10/19/2019.

For two empty hilts (One Fallen, One Spectre), yari extensions, couplers, and one extra pommel.  I had received an email letting me know that the one hilt, the Fallen was on backorder but should be available sometime November, unless I wanted to add a recharge port to get it sooner. I then had emailed several times questions as that wasn't something I had considered originally in my building a saber first venture, but never got another reply after October 29th.   Now it was during a promotion which includes a grab bag and a mystery box. So with the crazy number of orders I understand delays and with things possibly happening in the regions of one of their suppliers as well. Honestly, I just wish someone had and would reply to my communications. In desperation in December I went ahead and paid the extra money as instructed to get the recharge ports, part of me knows it likely was a silly notion to follow through so late after the personal catastrophes of in my own life had rather made me forget the order until Christmas was looming down. For better or worse I did so.

At this point I am beginning to get a little cold, and a little bitter. Delays I can handle. Silence? For this long? That is harder to swallow.

I have ordered one before and they were wonderful with customer service, the lightsaber I do own by them from years ago has been fantastic. So this is a bit saddening.

Got my order of 7 mystery box sabers! One of them is a dark initiate V4 without windows and just a guarded switch. From what I can tell it retails for $65 and I thought mystery box was at least worth $75? Not a big deal. Just thought it was weird lol

Edit* I just realized the non mystery box version only comes with a 24” blade where mine has a 32”. That makes up the difference in price haha

Now that my first set of sabers has arrived, I can actually be patient for my next order which is:

A Sentinel V5 LE with Lite sound in VA w/ Silver FoC. Very excited about this one, especially since I now know that using color discs to ger a rich Blue or Red will work
Also in my order is a Dark Appentice V5 stunt with Silver switch in AS + more color discs for my wife. In intend to swap the blade sleeve windows so that I can get a black sleeve on my Sentinel (it will also have a black switch and a black choke point via E-tape wrap) and my wife's saber can be Black & Gold, with a touch of weathering on the grip sections to make it pop.

 I placed an order for a custom saber and some mystery boxes on 12-28 and then another order on 12-29.  I have not heard anything from Ultrasabers at all.  I have emailed almost daily just hoping for an acknowledgement, but absolutely no response.  I don't mind if the order is going to take longer than expected.  Here is what bothers me.

- The notice on the website says 3 to 4 weeks lead time.  My order has been "processing" for over 6 weeks.  This should be updated to reflect a more accurate timeline.
- The complete lack of response to my emails makes me nervous.  What if I have a problem with a saber that arrives?  Am I going to be perpetually ignored?
- I am seeing YouTube videos of people who ordered after me and are receiving their sabers.  Not cool. (of course I am taking the content creators at their word on that and cannot prove it)

I understand that no one dies if they don't receive their lightsaber in a timely manner, but there is such a thing as common courtesy and good customer support.  Unfortunately, my confidence in Ultrasabers is completely diminished now.  I can't even cancel the order if I wanted to because I cannot reach anyone.  Perhaps they need some management assistance.  This "bad will" is going to damage them long term.  Anyone else in the same boat as me?

Ok, so you didn't change the order once you'd hit the button, right? If that's the case, then I would shoot them an email. A grab bag shouldn't take 6 weeks.

As for the delivery confirm email...it's from Shopper Approved, yes? If so, just ignore it.  US partners w/ SA to do feedback for them, basically.

I figured it was an auto mailer response tbh, I sent an email to Marlena two days ago for info, since I didn’t think it should take six weeks to ship out. I was thinking maybe they ran out of fire orange LEDs for emitters and they’re possibly waiting on more?  Trust me I’m way too excited not to show it off once it comes it lol.

Good luck. Mine just passed the 7 weeks mark and i am going on a trip in the beginning of March and really need the initial saber i ordered for the present it's meant to be. This is one of the reason i'm rather upset with them. Make it even worse i was told on 2/3 that they hadn't even started it yet. I was rather angry to say the least.

Holy, thats a long long time to wait on a saber that should have taken 3-4 weeks. According to the forums they are mostly working on grab bags and mystery boxes, which I don't entirely feel is fare. But sadly we dont get much of choice in the matter at the moment. I do hope they come in soon for you though!

Oh and now I'm waiting on Emery to contact me on my Diamond Prize from the Winter Raffle to select my saber and add upgrades to it not sure which saber I want but leaning towards the Graflex CE w/Blazing Red Blade or the Electrum Wind W/Violet Amethyst.

If you are waiting more than 5 weeks for your order I suggest that you send [email protected] a message with the subject line URGENT PAST LEAD TIME or something to that because Marlena is handling troubleshooting and handling repairs for now.

My first saber was a mystery box Dark Arbiter that my niece ordered for me.

The Last Jedi just came out, and US was flooded with orders just like now.

It took about six weeks, give or take a few days.

The waiting does suck, but when you have it in hand, all the BS before just disappears.

I fully expect my current order to take at least eight weeks or more from now.  I ordered an Emperess and an Azure Empress (both diamond configurations), some extra batteries, and a couple of blades.  I will also be getting a free initiate, grab bag saber, mystery saber, and Frankensaber.  I'm not worried.  They will get here when they get here.

Ordered 1/9, Completed + Shipped 2/15, Expected Delivery 2/19, and it's a Grand Master LE with sound. It's looking that early January and Late December orders are finally getting around to people.

There's plenty of updated threads for the matter, and I'm hoping all of you end up with the luck I have gotten with getting through to CS.

I'll make sure to make a review video (and maybe kill some younglings in the process) once it gets here! If you're expecting a saber with sound, this should help alleviate any worries you may have with issues on shipping and the whole process.

 I'm so sorry this is your experience with Ultrasabers.  I know you have probably tried every email address and phone number at this point, so I won't suggest anything like that. All I can do is tell you stuff that you've already heard and most likely will upset you.  Stuff like, this is not normally how Ultrasabers is. It's the movie, holiday rush and raffle. The Coronavirus has shut off China. That is where leds and switches come from. They might have no stock and no answers on a resupply date.  They can't answer your question with information they don't have.

 I can also tell you, I would be upset too if I had gone that amount of time with no reply.  It doesn't help you any right now but, their sabers are worth the wait. You definitely have my sympathy.

I am patiently waiting for this mess to die down so Ultrasabers can get back to their typical speedy processing times I keep hearing so much about.
I definitely chose the wrong time to get the itch for lightsabers. I want to order more, but I really don't want to be in a long, long, LONG line of other orders that are just sitting there waiting to be processed.

I don't plan on buying another or even buying from their store until this dies down. My convertec clip and my blade plug can wait until their lead times go down.

Its been almost 2 months since i Ordered, Im not exactly worried or mad, or anything, this is my first purchase from Ultra sabers (Second over all saber) and I understand that they're backlogged with orders, and know they are a legit company, but I got an email that said current lead time on sabers were 3-4 weeks, and that was about early to mid January, and I placed my order on January 3rd, and It is now February 4th. I've tried to reach out about half a dozen times (at least) and have yet to get any answers so, if anyone could give me a shout that would be greatly appreciated. Again, I'm not complaining, I'm just curios and having trouble waiting XD

Hi Kman63

Thanks for your question, and for joining this growing community of Saber enthusiasts

With new movies, TV series, books and games there’s a been a large increase in people just like you, excited to be getting their own unique or mystery sabers.  This has meant some extended times recently in getting hilts together and shipping, this is especially the case for sabers you design yourself with the vast choices of lights, AV switches, pommels, emitters and more which must all be assembled unlike pre-assembled Mystery Boxes and Grab bags which can be shipped almost straight away.

For help or an update on your order your best contacting Ultrasabers customer service directly and quoting your order number who’ll be sure to help you out.
Phone: 832-569-5194
Email: [email protected]

In the mean time we’d love to hear more about what you ordered, what inspired your choice, and share in the excitement of (Im)Patiently waiting for your Saber to arrive, and enjoy cruising the Forum for lots of awesome pics and videos, helpful reviews and great tips on Saber artistry/dueling, customization, costuming and or talking everything Star Wars, Sabering and beyond  .

May the Force be With You!

Hi All,

Lots of new people joining the sabering community over the last few months inspired by new films, movies, books, raffles, sales, holiday rush - as well as just the amazing products Ultrasabers offers!.

As a result of this surge in demand a lot of people have been (I’m)Patiently waiting more than usual recently for their orders beyond the usual 3-4 week lead time.

This is especially the case for sabers you design yourself with the vast choices of lights, AV switches, pommels, emitters and more which must all be assembled unlike pre-assembled Mystery Boxes and Grab bags which can be shipped almost straight away.

As you'll see though, there are loads of regulars and long time customers on these threads who can attest by words, photos and videos that though there may be an extended wait, your saber will definitely be worth the wait, and Ultrasabers always delivers for their customers.

Agreed, and a big thank you Lord_S_Gray.

Also, I must add that, waiting a bit for a lightsaber is pretty commonplace.  Other places take much longer, and have the same or less communication.  

Should US change their lead-time notification?  Perhaps, but that's not my call.  In fact, no one here actually works for UltraSabers - this is simply the forum.  A place to come and chill with like-minded folks.

Any complaints or order clarification is a customer service issue, and has no place on here.  PLEASE DON'T POST YOUR ORDER NUMBER.  This is a public forum, and that's madness.

Some posts will be moved to here, in order to keep the place "neat-like", but that ought not be seen as an uncaring move.  We all know that the wait is very real - especially if it's a first saber.  

Just keep it positive huh? :)

LSG, I'm looking at how to keep your post on top here...


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Infinit01 on February 24, 2020, 11:51:11 AM
Yes, thank you, LSG, for writing that.

I agree with Rapine as well, waiting for sabers in the saber community is common; however, UltraSabers typically deliver a fraction of the time it takes for the other guys to deliver.

Now, yes, the did not expect what happened during the holidays to occur and are working to rectify that situation which will need to be done with UltraSabers and NOT the Saber Forum since we're two separate entities.

Now, let's get back to see what we're all happily waiting for :)

Members are beginning to receive a Note from the Owner


Hey Saber Enthusiasts,

It's Emory here.  I just wanted to reach out to everyone and give an update on the situation over here at Ultra Sabers.  Most Ultra Sabers' customers know that we pride ourselves on our ability to get you guys beautiful & durable custom made sabers in epic speed.  I talk about it in all of my videos and we pride ourselves on it.  However, right now due to the enormous influx of orders over the holiday and thereafter caused by the huge demand surrounding our amazing hobby, we are behind our normal lead time.

Please trust that we are doing everything possible to get everyone's order fabricated and shipped out.  No stone is being left unturned.  Please also understand that there are factors that are out of our control as well.  The expert level machining of all of our hilts is done right here in the United States.  All the blades are made in the United States.  All the electronics are wired right here in the United States.  All the order fulfillment and customer service is done right here in the United States.  We pride ourselves on all of those things and having a product that is made in the USA.  However, there are small parts and components that can't be obtained in bulk anywhere but overseas: battery holders, switches, batteries, chargers, etc.  And with the current crisis going on in Asia it has caused an extreme delay in obtaining these parts.  We are doing everything we can to find other ways to obtain these parts and continue to fulfill orders.  But we hope that you all can understand that for the health and safety of others there may be a delay in getting some orders fulfilled.  And we appreciate everyone's patience and understanding with this situation.

Nevertheless, each and every single order that has already been place and that is placed in the future will be fulfilled.  We understand all the excitement surrounding our hobby right now and we understand our duty to get these sabers out to you guys.  And we take that duty very seriously.  We are working around the clock (literally, our workshop is now open 7 days a week and 24 hour a day fabricating sabers) to get you guys these sabers as quickly as we can.

We are also working through emails as quickly as can.  Please do not for a moment think that anyone is being ignored.  We are doing our best to answer everyone and address everyone's concerns.  Hopefully this email helps to shed some light on the situation.  And again, every order placed will be fulfilled.  That is a promise.  I apologize for the delay and thank everyone for their continued patience, understanding, and support.

- Emory Harris

I'm waiting for a dark apprentice staff and a grab bag (requested sunrider's destiny as the color), and apparently also a raffle prize (I didn't realize this until I noticed my name on the list of winners and rechecked my email. oof). I was hoping it would arrive in time for Richmond Galaxycon for a costume, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Ah, well. I didn't expect to receive anything until March at the earliest (birthday gift from me to me), so I'm not surprised or disappointed.

I'm waiting for my first-ever saber, the Manticore.

Ordered it on 01/15, e-mailed them once I hit the 5-week mark and they replied saying it should go out in the next business day or two, and yesterday it began to ship.  Should be here Friday, and let me tell you...I can't wait!

I might get the pommel and emitter powder coated, but I need to test the samples against the rest of the saber once it arrives.

On 1/20, I placed an order for my husband and I's very first combat sabers. His is the Dark Sentinel V5 with a blazing red blade, mine a Grand Master (black) with adegan silver blade. Both are Diamond sabers and we are SOOOOOOOOOOPER excited to get them. Bonus, they were enough that we qualified for both a mystery box and the initiate blade in the last giveaway, so we'll both be able to dual wield if we want.

tldr: I'll be back [to the Hamilton tune]

i'm going to take a break from the forum until my saber shows up... so count me as impatiently waiting and slowly losing heart... I was super excited back in January and went a little overboard.   I don't know if you can call it buyer's remorse (when it hasn't shown up) but each day, waking up and seeing all the MB shipped and arriving seems to have sapped all my positive energy at this point.  Unfortunately for me, I don't do well with regrets (which was why I didn't go with MBs to begin with, but that's another chain of shoulda-woulda-coulda hell for me)

Hopefully, when the 4 sabers arrive, powering it up will re-energize me.  Right now, I feel like I gambled away and lost.

I do look forward to the day I come back and rejoin the "show some LOVE for UltraSabers"  thread.  In the meantime, I got some polypropylene practice swords to practice spinning... and not going to obsessively check my order status

Edit for those who like playing with numbers... my post was « Reply #10004 on: Today at 10:04:24 »   so close... should've posted 4 minutes and 20 seconds earlier.

So I'm now in the final stretch (hopefully) for my current order placed 1/26. It included my first ever saber with sound (Sentinel v5 LE) and a stunt Dark Apprentice v5 for my wife. Our Anniversary is 3/11 and I was hoping to add this to her other gifts as a surprise (she doesn't know I included her saber in this order).

But alas it has only been 5 weeks and it appears the TRUE lead time is now up to 7-8 weeks if you guys that ordered at the beginning of January are only just now getting them shipped.
I wonder if I should wait until Saturday (went it will be just about 6 weeks out) and email either Ana or Marlena? Or just let it wait and be a late present?

Any recommendations?

Galef, as things seem to be moving forward, a quick email might not be a bad thing. Plus you still have what, 9 days till the anniversary?  Maybe it will show up sometime between now and then. Personally I'd plan on it dropping in later than the 11th. You can have a great anniversary and then surprise her later with "just one more gift ". I've been married a long time and I can tell you that this always goes over "fairly well ". Anyway, I hope it all works out for you. Happy Anniversary.

Galef, as things seem to be moving forward, a quick email might not be a bad thing. Plus you still have what, 9 days till the anniversary?  Maybe it will show up sometime between now and then. Personally I'd plan on it dropping in later than the 11th. You can have a great anniversary and then surprise her later with "just one more gift ". I've been married a long time and I can tell you that this always goes over "fairly well ". Anyway, I hope it all works out for you. Happy Anniversary.
Thanx. I'll probably see how this week plays out. If I don't hear anything by Saturday, it'll be too late to get it shipped anyway.
My last order (which was my first ever) was using the free shipping option, just like this one. Even once it shipping it took over a week to arrive.

So unless I get the shipping notice this week (very unlikely) it will certain go passed our anniversary. Which is fine.
I'll still probably send an email either Saturday or Sunday as that will officially be 6 weeks since my order, which is pushing it on a 3-4 week lead time (seriously they really should have set the expectation at 5-6 weeks way back in December).

Quick questions for Arendsdale & Malik Thanewulf: When were your orders placed, i.e. how many weeks did it take for your orders to arrive?

And for Malik Thanewulf: when you post a reply, there is an Image Insert icon just below the BIU icons. When you post a link to an image, select the full link and click that Image Icon. Or, click the icon and paste your link in the brackets

Hi Malik, are you using a Windows PC or mobile? If you're using a PC follow these tips and future pictures should embed.

The images won't show up as you are trying to embed the full Imgur gallery page rather than the individual images. If you are using Windows, to get the images to show you need to open the gallery page and then hover the mouse pointer over each image in turn and right click the mouse. You will open a drop down menu and you need to select "Copy Link". Click "Copy Link" and the URL will copy to your clipboard. You then need to paste that link in the post editor between the set of image tags. An image on Imgur will have a URL that starts with https:// then it will read i.imgur.com/  followed by a series of letters/numbers to identify the image. You need to repeat the process highlight/copy/paste routine for each image one at a time.

In the meantime do you want me to embed them for you?

Sentinel v5 LE with lite sound in VA with silver FoC. My first ever saber with sound.
And a Dark Apprentice v5 stunt saber in AS+ color discs for my wife, who doesn't know I've ordered her saber yet.

I plan on swapping the emitter window sleeves so she has black and gold like the Hufflepuff she is
Our anniversary is next week so I was hoping it would arrive by then, but it doesn't appear likely.

Whatever you do, don't check out the Community section of Ultrasabers Facebook page. Unless you really want to read some hardcore negativity thrown at US.

That place makes me appreciate the relative positivity we all share on this site, despite our collective frustration at wait times.

I ordered a "Dark Apprentice LE v5" with light sound on 1/24. Last Friday 2/28, I emailed US.  On Sunday (3/1) I got an email reply from Eli.  He said the order would ship in 1 - 2 business days.... Which would've been today :( Sadly, I've had no updates or emails about it being shipped....I had my hopes up for a few days... oh well.

Free initiate.  I just got my first order of 2x mystery boxes, but the freeinitiate (which does show up properly on the order invoice) is nowhere to be seen.  Are they usually sent separately?

My daughter and I are greatly enjoying the 2 sabers that I did get so far though

You should have it with your order. I would call and email Ultra Sabers about your order.

They are starting to get orders out! I got my Fed Ex shipping confirmation today. My saber will be here Saturday!!! I placed my order on Jan. 3rd. if that helps you kind of get an idea of when your order will be shipped based on the date you placed your order.

Fingers crossed that the speed in which they are getting sabers out is faster that a 1:1 ratio of the dates they were ordered.
I.e. if they just shipped a 1/3 order on 3/4, hopefully it doesn't take them until 3/27 to ship an order from 1/26 (my order).

Yes. So I am a huge Darth Maul fan and a Darth Maul cosplayer. So my first saber that I ordered was the Menace CE. I didn't want to order two right off the bat because I wasn't sure of the quality and if I would like it? When I got the Menace I was more than pleased!! it's an amazing saber, the quality is outstanding!! I ordered two more less expensive sabers right away. A Apprentice V5 and a Dark 55Apprentice LE V5 both stunt so I could play with them inside the house and not wake my wife when she's sleeping because we all know the sound quality of US's are amazing and loud! My Menace has sound so at night I have to restrain from igniting it! :D :D So I finally got around to ordering the second Menace so I could have the complete Darth Maul saber staff.

awesome!   

An order I'd received in the middle of last month was sent with apologies for the delay because of the backlog from the Christmas season and the release of the new Star Wars on the big screen. I did not complain about the delay, I already planned on it taking a bit, but they apologized in an e-mail anyway !   How about THAT?  I was very impressed with the customer service, and know now that my current order (with the promotion being extended, and the supply delays from overseas) will be a little while, but that's ok!

Combat Fallen w/Diamond & yellow illuminated AV switch. Sentinel Yellow with Adegan Silver pulse and FOC Violet Amethyst.

Video depends on how I feel when it gets delivered Saturday. I'm also expecting my Saitek X56 flight control system (for DCS World) to be delivered on the same FedEx truck.

Maybe just spitballing here but it’s probably going to rest a lot of assurance for many customers by having assumptions that US have gotten access to  overseas components ergo the first part of the $1200+ midwinter giveaway orders will ship this week ergo every qualifying customer will receive US emails with tracking numbers this month. Ergo , epic!!!!👍

On 1/20, I placed an order for my husband and I's very first combat sabers. His is the Dark Sentinel V5 with a blazing red blade, mine a Grand Master (black) with adegan silver blade. Both are Diamond sabers and we are SOOOOOOOOOOPER excited to get them. Bonus, they were enough that we qualified for both a mystery box and the initiate blade in the last giveaway, so we'll both be able to dual wield if we want.

Update:
Got my shipping notification this morning and it's supposed to be here on Tuesday. Holy freaking excited. And, since it's shipping to my work not home, I'm not gunna tell the hubby that it shipped. Just gunna show up with the sabers in the hard case we picked up to carry them.

Ok, from looking around on this forum - it seems like we are all about as patient as a kid in a candy store while waiting for our new sabers to come in the mail.  This is the place to vent and let everyone know what you got, why you got it, and in general talk about your new purchase until it arrives and you can start terrorizing your family/girlfriend/dog/friends with it.

I personally just ordered a Pyrestone SS Raven with a set of normal claws also for dueling.  I got the quick disconnect and a Red MLS unit as well because, well, it IS the sith stalker after all!  I also ordered a black vented coupler for my prophecies (or the Raven and a prophecy!) and hopefully for a Raven staff down the road.

The last part of the order was an LED swap for my SRD Standard Issue.  The hilt has a black and silver theme after my striped grip-tape application, and I'm going to change it to have a Adegan Silver blade.  I've always wanted to see a silver saber and it will fit well with the theme.  

To offset the added light-side the blade now has, I'm probably going to attach a Dark War Glaive claw at the emitter when I get it back.  I know, I know.  I'm playing out the single WG claw, but hey - I like it, and I think it will fit well on that saber and balance out the light/dark ratio.

Ok, your turn.

Ready...  Set...     ....    . .           GO!




Let’s just say ... your Raven total cost was $1200+ and you’ve already qualified for a frankensteiner in your first order that was placed before the midwinter giveaway got extended until March 13... and you happen to have $1200+ lying around from a mortgage or 401k loan that made you put a second $1200+ order.. would you get a total of two frankensteiners...🤔

Once I stumbled onto the DCS videos on youtube I was hooked. My 14 year old controller though is not capable to fly the planes correctly, so I decided to make a mock up of all of the flight controllers. Started with the pedals and stick controllers and will eventually get a couple avionic packages to help out. Really trying to make a tough decision to get a VR headset or not but not sure I can justify that cost.

Also, my US delivery got pushed back to Sunday? I doubt that schedule will be fulfilled so I'm more expecting the combat Fallen hilt early next week.

Order from Jan 14. Email from Jake on Wed said “1-2” days for my Graflex CE with premium sound, Illuminated AV in SRD, and my wife’s Dark War glaive (same set up) in Banes heart. I won winter raffle grand prize, had asked for Dominicide PO with flash on clash to silver, but They didnt acknowledge  raffle prize request at all...curious. PS if the dominicide didn’t fit the parameters of the “grand prize” I would also like the Dark Dorinian.

I didn't get a shipping number, Tuesday I got an email that said, "Ultrasabers.com delivery confirmation - Response Requested" is that because of a Shipping option that I don't get a tracking number? It also read, "No, I haven't received my order yet. If you haven't received your order yet, wait 24-48 hours then contact Ultrasabers.com" I haven't seen my package yet and I replied to the email. I don't know why people keep suggesting to call, it always goes straight to voicemail.

I got the same survey email today cause I’m 6 weeks out. Closest thing I’ve had to contact with them despite multiple emails and Facebook messages. I’m seeing people on my Facebook lightsaber group getting basically my exact order who ordered a full week after me already delivered to their house. I’d rather have someone from the company justify the way they’re handling this to my face then get my actual order at this point. Unbelievably frustrated.

I placed my first order January 15th (still patiently waiting! ;) ) specifically for the Manticore.  I had NO intention at the time of going all-out and getting the Diamond Controller, I had originally intended on just a stunt saber, MAYBE the Obsidian Lite.  Of course, once I started building the saber and watching videos of the Diamond setups, I went from a $134 saber to a $540 saber pretty quick.  I also threw in a Mystery Box to clear $600 and get the free intitiate.  So my first order of ONE $134 saber now went to THREE sabers over $600.  No regrets, other than not waiting until the Mid-Winter giveaway, which I had no idea was coming, I could have gotten 2 free sabers rather than one for my $600 order, but then I probably would have lost my mind and ordered over $1200 in sabers just to get FOUR free sabers, which I wound up doing anyway in February once I saw the midwinter giveaway.  Then just for $h!ts and giggles I ordered another two Mystery Box sabers a few days later.
SO, in the end my one $134 saber evolved into 12 sabers for $2,000+.   ::)

Well, I'm officially at 6 weeks and since I received the Shopper Approved email on friday asking to contact US if I haven't received my sabers yet, the emails have been sent. Now we play the waiting game on the reply.
Definitely too late to get my wife's surprise saber by our Anniversary this week, but luckily I wasn't planning on that being her only gift.

I’m 9 weeks waiting tomorrow.

I don’t mind the wait but would appreciate being told roughly how much longer I’ve got.... only because I’m desperately  excited about receiving my first ever diamond saber!

I know once they arrive, the frustration of waiting will fade to a distant memory.

Agreed. I could wait a month longer as long I got updates.these will be mine and the wife’s first sabers with sound (just premium).

I wish there was, but no. Once you placed your order is goes into Processng status until it's 'Completed"
To moe, it would makes more sense for the status to read "Pending" once you order, "Processing" once any actual human being begins, well, processing your order, and then Completed once done and shipped.

And you might want to hold off ont he twitchiness until the 6-7 week mark.  Aside from orders that involve just parts or MBs, I've have yet to hear of any custom orders arriving prior to the 6 week mark since December, unless excessive emails were sent
This is why is have boggled my mind that the 3-4 week lead time wasn't updated to 5-7 weeks way back in December.

The wait really wouldn't be so bad if I could wrap my head around how they're doing their orders. I see someone sharing new pics from orders placed weeks after my own and it's mind boggling. I have multiple orders placed and so I have differing opinions to an extent. I can understand why mystery boxes and simple stunt sabers would be out before my diamond order. Even with weeks between them. But I also have an order with only grab bags and a mystery box that's on it's 8th week. Which seems crazy. I think a little more transparency would go a long way.

I'm only on the second week mark but I can drive to texas for you and the others to see if Emory could use some help shipping out everyones orders for maybe $20 an hour by doing janitorial stuff that will get their warehouse spic n span from all the aluminum debris, and since my bro lives in Houston  maybe he will let me live with him temporarily if I give him one of my sabers, I'm just doing a rough draft brainstorm here since it's too early for me to send out emails yet. But most likely it's just wishful thinking.

You're not alone.  I had one of those days and took a week or two away from the forums just to recenter.  I had been hoping the saber(s) would arrive in time for a 80's themed bday party I was attending, to go along with my sithjedi costume.  when I ordered back in Jan, it was between US or 'other guy'.  Well, it didn't arrive.  I went without a saber, and everyone kept asking if I was dressed up as Mortal Kombat. :(

Emailed US nicely if there was anything backordered that's holding up my order, and if so, would it be possible to switch to something not backordered; got a response after a few days letting me know I was within 1-2 days from the top of the queue.  A few days later, got a fedex shipping notice.

Sorry, no kittens or puppies pics from me. I'm allergic and any sniffles these days would have people around me crying Corona.

I'm waiting for a dark apprentice staff and a grab bag (requested sunrider's destiny as the color), and apparently also a raffle prize (I didn't realize this until I noticed my name on the list of winners and rechecked my email. oof). I was hoping it would arrive in time for Richmond Galaxycon for a costume, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Ah, well. I didn't expect to receive anything until March at the earliest (birthday gift from me to me), so I'm not surprised or disappointed.


Got the shipping confirmation today! Ordered 1/3, shipped 3/9.

my first attempt at making a video... this is what I've been using to keep busy while waiting for the sabers to arrive.
Hopefully, once my tripod comes in, I'll be able to video tape some of what I've learned since the beginning of February.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNpRnhFD5fg# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNpRnhFD5fg#)

[spoilers]
The Dominicide-proxy is a 5' walking stick from the Scout Store that I've covered with duck-tape [sic] that I bought from Target.  I masked off the hilt area in black, and the pretend 24" section (just 20") in green and blue.

The two polypropelene swords are from Amazon.  One is a 39" 'katana' to proxy the Dominicide in single-bladed mode or the Dark Apprentice LE v5 with 36" blade or FreeMysteryBag.   The other is a 24" 'wakizashi' to proxy the stunt freeInitiate that I'll be getting with my order.

I'll probably use these to practice the more scary moves (such as Michelle C. Smith's rocket tossing moves) even once I get the Ultra Sabers... they're alot cheaper than the real thing.

I am waiting for my rather large order. I decided to go the stunt route for my frankensaber order, so I have a large number of sabers coming my way for my wife, son and myself. I expect 18 lightsabers will take some time to fabricate, so I’m just chilling playing with my current ones. I finally had a small breakthrough on spinning yesterday and wrapped my head around a move, so I can practice that now. My order will likely take quite a bit longer than normal, even as only stunt sabers simply because of the volume. It’s okay though, I have things to do and they will arrive in due time. Still excited to see how the frankensaber turns out.

I picked up Overtime at work today. It just so happens that my saber order is out for delivery today and being dropped off at my work.  I'm practically vibrating in my seat I'm so excited.

1) I immediately went looking for a game called Overtime... :D

2) don't forget to wipe your seat afterwards ;)

3) are you going to unbox it immediately?  are you going to video unboxing it immediately?   of course you are... looking forward to the unboxing vid that you'll be uploading while playing with the new saber

1. I didn't even make that connection until you said that, but now I'm facepalming.
2. We should be good. Vibrations aren't THAT much.
3.  It will get unboxed and put into the travel case we picked up for them right away.  Probably won't be video of that. However, there will probably be video of the hubby having a meltdown when I get home with them, since he doesn't know they've shipped yet.

now I'm totally intrigued on what you selected for the travel case... I'm going to be lazy and not search if you already posted it here somewhere... but yes, hubby opening the travel case definitely qualifies as an unboxing uncasing video.

We actually picked up a hard sided rifle case from Cabelas. It fits perfectly with his 40" blade and, with as clumsy as I am, I'm not as afraid of damaging them. It's just the right size to hold all 4 of our sabers (bought 2, got 2 with the promos) plus all the accessories we got with them.

You're not alone.  I had one of those days and took a week or two away from the forums just to recenter.  I had been hoping the saber(s) would arrive in time for a 80's themed bday party I was attending, to go along with my sithjedi costume.  when I ordered back in Jan, it was between US or 'other guy'.  Well, it didn't arrive.  I went without a saber, and everyone kept asking if I was dressed up as Mortal Kombat. :(

Emailed US nicely if there was anything backordered that's holding up my order, and if so, would it be possible to switch to something not backordered; got a response after a few days letting me know I was within 1-2 days from the top of the queue.  A few days later, got a fedex shipping notice.
 ::) ::)
Sorry, no kittens or puppies pics from me. I'm allergic and any sniffles these days would have people around me crying Corona.

Sometimes taking a break is good advice. ..
I know I need to be patient. I think I was having a bad day yesterday and allowed  self-pity to set in (not a good attribute).

Today is a different day and I’ve bucked TF up!

My order from the 6th Jan will come eventually. TBH I think the main problem is I promised myself that I wouldn’t purchase any more sabers until the January order arrived and I now want a war Glaive and saber staff

We just bought a golf bag yesterday that has dividers to keep clubs from banging into each other. So far I only have my two sabers. Soon it won’t be able to hold everything. I like the hard case idea for a couple sabers, but I’ll want all of them when I go see my brother this summer so we can thoroughly “test” them.

I've got a Star Wars folding chair bag (lost the chair years ago) that I'm keeping my spare blades in. It's got room enough for a couple sabers if I want.
But generally sabers will either be on my wall, or on my hands, so a carrying case isn't needed

I would generally agree, if I wasn’t planning a 500+ mile road trip to visit my brother this summer. I know they’re tough, but I want my sabers to earn their weathering, not get beat up by a bounce in the car.

A giant fishing gear bag is also great for all the blades because it has two wheels and a pull handle but you can lay it down unless you don’t want to disassemble any blade staffs you own.

I'm only on the second week mark but I can drive to texas for you and the others to see if Emory could use some help shipping out everyones orders for maybe $20 an hour by doing janitorial stuff that will get their warehouse spic n span from all the aluminum debris, and since my bro lives in Houston  maybe he will let me live with him temporarily if I give him one of my sabers, I'm just doing a rough draft brainstorm here since it's too early for me to send out emails yet. But most likely it's just wishful thinking.


I’m still waiting on mine. Going on 2 months now.

Or a hard fishing rod case like I have  it can extend to 8ft or collapse to around 3ft and you can take it on planes as luggage or you can ship it out FedEx or Ups like I do when heading to South Carolina to visit my brother and get some fishing in while I'm there.

hopefully last non-saber'd video before I get them in...
part of my 'get up' for Darth Cephalus' dark saber challenge (or was it night saber?) came in, so I figure I'd film something while I'm still impatiently waiting.
Didn't put on my sith costume for this (sorry, it was 1am when I started filming) so please excuse the sloppy attire.

Still very rough, but considering I started from couch-potato-zero a month ago, I'm pretty happy with where I've gotten... [self-congratulatory pat on the back]

I'll probably annotate later where I whacked myself, dodged the [hidden] coffee table on screen-right, picked up the dual-wield and realized I had no idea what I was going to do with them.

My beauty showed up a few days ago. Waiting on my dominicide. The metal square can be taken off with pliers. Expect a mark or two on the hilt. It is worth it for a great grip.

hello everyone!

Off on a tangent here -- I have ordered an empty hilt (the Fallen, as a matter of fact), and a handful of parts to help complete a DIY build.  My first!  Figured it was something to do while I wait for a couple of orders to be completed by US.  Build one of my own rather than add to their backlog, I guess.

Question:   for those of you who have done the DIY with parts from US, how long have you waited for the order to be filled/completed?    I would think the orders for parts would be managed separately from the production-side orders, but I also know that if one orders parts along WITH a special order saber, they will of course hold the parts in limbo until the entire order is ready to ship.  I have a pommel coming in one of the orders I am waiting for.

I'm sad to admit that I've just made a non-US lightsaber purchase. With the wait times being about 2 months from US at the moment, I just couldn't wait to get an RGB saber.
I found one online that have good reviews and seems on par with an RGB Aeon v2, but with a hilt design more like a Dark Standard issue. The seller had good reviews on the 3 main online auction sites (don't think I can mention which, but I'm sure everyone has hear of 2 of them) and it should arrive in a week.

I really wanted to stick with US, but I chose the wrong time to get addicted to sabers and I need my fix.
Once I get my saber with sound from US I ordered in January, plus this saber and my current Phantasm v2, I should be set for a while to weather this busy time.

I'm hoping to get shipping confirmation soon on my Sentinel v5 LE with sound from US

Ok a follow up on my last post.  I am told that the DIY parts orders have the same general lead time as custom saber orders, but that they often are processed a bit faster.

Yeah not going to be any quicker... Ordered a Charger and Pommel Mid February and still nothing. Wish it would just come so i can be done with US for good. Have had much better luck from two other suppliers in the past month. Got a NP saber in 5 weeks from start to finish and got updated along the way. And currently have another saber in with someone and they have contacted me twice on their own to relay info to me.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I've also ordered a flat acrylic "darksaber" blade. Both it and my RGB saber should be mailed Priority 2-Day sometime this week. So hopefully by Friday, I'll have both so I can have more to play with as I wait even longer for my US order

I wait the tales of woe. I have owned or played with sabers from nearly all of the production manufacturers and every one except Ultrasabers  has been a disappointment with several being given away just to get them out of my house. There a reason I have over 20 Ultrasabers  but only one or two of any others. And I have purchased from the names with the 6-8 months wait times and others with ship tomorrow availabilities.  The wait for an Ultrasaber is still better than most end results.

This is why I only wanted to buy from US, but waiting over a month sucks. I wish I made the jump to start buying sabers last year before the backlog.
The ONLY reason I decided to get the saber I bought from a non-US vender is because they've had very good reviews over the last 2 years, and several of their recent feedback included Jan/Feb 2020 reviews that the saber was delivered in a week as promised.
I think this is a very small seller that has gone under the radar during this saber rush and it appears they only sell 1 particular pre-made RGB stunt saber.
They also had a review video that showed the setup, which seemed exactly like US: Aluminum hilt with RGB LEDs, 3 Switches and a 4AAA battery pack.
Since that is EXACTLY what I wanted from an US RGB Aeon v2, I couldn't ignore the Will of the Force bringing this saber to my attention.

But you are right, there is a chance I get nothing, but at least the auction site I bought from will respond immediately if there is an issue

Ah there we go. With the added details and description of the setup I know which saber you're getting even if I'm not sure which seller. Hope you will enjoy it.

I'm currently in week 19 out of 11-14 week lead time from another manufacturer who happens to be the only one making the particular costume hilt I need, so I know what ridiculous wait times are. They did respond quickly when I emailed but the reply was defensive and completely avoided the question i had asked so i call that worse than no answer. I also have enough experience in this to know exactly what to expect since they use the exact same electronics I would if I could get an empty hilt from them, but that's not their business model, they only sell full installs. So I know what overpaying is too.

Again I hope you do enjoy your new toy. I only offer words of wisdom here because I've been doing this long enough to know.

So I know I'm guilty of a bit of negativity here, mostly because a deciding factor in choosing US over the other guys was the 'fastest processing times in the galaxy' (which I guess is still true even if it's longer than expected), but I also want to share some perspective that might also add some positivity.

Out of curiosity, I went to the site of US's main competitor to see their lead times (which I didn't find oddly enough) but what I did find is that about half their entire stock is sold out, including their equivalent to Mystery boxes.
So it could be WAY worse. At least US has been able to send out Mystery boxes and has only a handful of hilts out of stock

Their lead times are buried in the "Orders & Shipping" portion of their "Help" drop down menu.  They state 12-15 weeks for regular orders.  It it is like mine I ordered, it will be longer than that.

Thanx, that's really good to know. So I'll try to keep in mind that while 2 months on a 3-4 week lead time sucks, 3-4 months on 12-15 week lead time plus over half their hilts being out of stock is WAY worse.
It's a good perspective to have.

Does anyone have any predictions on when US will get back to normal lead times? Like what month did they get back on track in 2016 and 2018 when the big SW movies came out the prior Decembers?
I've only got 1 potential order to place, but it'll be for my son's Fallen with Premium sound and he's still saving up for it.  I'll probably place it during the next Raffle, but after that, I don't plan to buy any sabers for a while.

As I recall, when The Force Awakens came out they had some issues, particularly with the Obsidian Lite cards, as well as hilts out of stock.  They were also behind on deliveries, in the 12-14 week range in Dec-Jan.   The times came back down and were back to around 4-5 weeks around May 4th, and by mid-summer were down to 2-3 weeks for bigger orders and sometimes under a week for things like MBs and grab-bags.

So I'd expect they'll get back to normal around June-ish.

Side note, but related to waiting, the non-US RGB saber I just order yesterday already has a tracking number and is in "pre-shipping status" in USPS. Very excited.  That will make the wait on my current US order less painful

No longer (im)Patiently or Patiently waiting for my saber.  My saber arrived today and I am absolutely loving it.  Pictures should be incoming to the Picture Gallery once I get some decent lighting to really show off the blade.

Thanx, that's really good to know. So I'll try to keep in mind that while 2 months on a 3-4 week lead time sucks, 3-4 months on 12-15 week lead time plus over half their hilts being out of stock is WAY worse.
It's a good perspective to have.

Does anyone have any predictions on when US will get back to normal lead times? Like what month did they get back on track in 2016 and 2018 when the big SW movies came out the prior Decembers?
I've only got 1 potential order to place, but it'll be for my son's Fallen with Premium sound and he's still saving up for it.  I'll probably place it during the next Raffle, but after that, I don't plan to buy any sabers for a while.

-

Yep, that's my perspective too. I've seen a lot of angry people talking down US and telling people to go elsewhere because they're behind schedule... but what alternatives are there??  I know of two major custom competiors and their times are between 12-15 weeks and 18-24 weeks... 

So... yeah, I'm on week 6 of a 3-4 week estimate, but what the heck... It's hard to complain when EVERYONE else estimate is 2-3 times longer than I've been waiting....

As for when to expect things getting back to noraml... I have no idea, this is my first saber. But I wouldn't be surprised if the holiday/movie backlog gets stretched even longer iwth the virus shutdowns...  I don't think there's anyway to really know.

That said I was VERY happy to see how they did their march giveaways... No free sabers till you hit over $1000 is definitley the way to go right now. Plugs and T-shirts are fun little bonuses... but somehow turning turning one saber purchase into three saber builds seems questionable right now. I know I only wanted the one premium one... but tossed in a mystery box and a free initiate  on a whim... sooooo if every order somehow turned into three sabers, it'll be a while before they catch up. That said... if you drop $1200 here... I think it's legit to get a free one ;) Soooo Good deal this time. Hopefully April is the same. I'd love to see them catch up.

Hello everyone,

Got an update.  I received an email that my sons saber was shipped.  It should be here sometime tomorrow according to the tracking #.  I'm in the same state as US so it shouldn't take long.  I'll post an update once it arrives.  I didn't get any confirmation on the replacement hilt that I chose.  I'm excited to see how it turned out.  The craziest part is that I got the email at 2:30 AM.  That goes to show that Ultra Sabers is pulling some long hours.

Scheduled delivery:Thursday 3/19/2020 by end of day

I ordered on 1/24 and hit shipped on 3/19.  A few days shy of 8 weeks.

I'm sad to admit that I've just made a non-US lightsaber purchase. With the wait times being about 2 months from US at the moment, I just couldn't wait to get an RGB saber.
I found one online that have good reviews and seems on par with an RGB Aeon v2, but with a hilt design more like a Dark Standard issue. The seller had good reviews on the 3 main online auction sites (don't think I can mention which, but I'm sure everyone has hear of 2 of them) and it should arrive in a week.

I really wanted to stick with US, but I chose the wrong time to get addicted to sabers and I need my fix.
Once I get my saber with sound from US I ordered in January, plus this saber and my current Phantasm v2, I should be set for a while to weather this busy time.
For anyone curious to know, I ordered this non-US on 3/15. It's 3/18 and the saber is in my hand already!
It's at least equal in quality to an Aeon V2 (exact same battery setup, blade size and retention screw thread size) but looks more like a Dark Standard Issue. I'm very happy.

That should ease the wait for my Sentinel v5 LE with sound. That saber is going to be well worth the wait at this point. Especially since it's almost at 7 weeks.

As it is not an Ultrasaber, I will not say. But it wasn't from any of major "other guys"
More of a 1 person seller that appears to only make 1 style of saber, so it shipped quickly because it was premade and ready to ship. I bought the last one on the site I found it on.

My order came in today, I ordered it on 1/24 and tomorrow, 3/20, makes this just a hair under eight weeks since I placed the order. I actually received an email last week stating my original choice for a hilt was not available.  I was given the choice to choose an alternative or wait 3-4 additional weeks.  I chose a replacement hilt and waited patiently. However....I actually received the item I ordered and NOT a replacement hilt after all.  This is great and awesome because this is the hilt my son picked out.  It was meant for his birthday in February but it took a month longer than I expected.  Better late than never. 
Needless to say, he LOVES it... Our review is posted below. ENJOY!

Of course. Between getting the RGB saber 2 days ago (which I had just ordered 2 days before that) and this blade today, I've already gone through 2 sets of batteries. Glad I have rechargeables.
I made a review video on both, but since the hilt is not an Ultrasaber (couldn't resist the 2 day shipping) I can't post it here

Approaching week 8 of my January 29th order. Diamond Menace CE, Free Initiate, and a first place raffle prize Emerald Saber. I'm letting the Force guide me on this one. I probably won't email them unless it starts going past the 10 week mark. My hope is that my patience will be rewarded in the form of the other half of the Menace CE staff  :D

Update:  nope it's too late to cancel the MB order. I ordered it last night and just now I got a tracking number for it!  Less than one DAY lead time.  Now I KNOW they gotta be getting caught up.   A bit less than 4 weeks for my custom saber order, and MB's are being sent out in a day.

I got an email like that and the code was inside the text of that email. I could be mistaken but you should read through it again carefully. It’s probably in there.

Patiently waiting on a new saber (my first) from [redacted] because my US saber is going to probably take another month lol. Crazy how I ordered something 10 days ago, and it was SITTING doing nothing for 4 days in Hong Kong, and is already in my state TODAY. I'm so excited to have a lightsaber soon, even if its not the one I want the most (my Phantasm V2 from US).

This one will hold me over so I can be more patient for my dual blade saber >:)

I’m still waiting on my Diamond Menace CE ordered on January 29th. I would say it’s reasonable to email at 8 weeks, as that would be double their advertised lead time. My order should arrive  with a first place raffle prize, which will be a random hilt Emerald Driver with V4 sound, so I don’t mind waiting. I don’t think I’ll email them, as my hope is that if I’m patient about it I’ll be rewarded with a second Menace to complete the staff lol

Useful to know! I placed my order on that day as well. I expect my order will be delayed relative to that, because I had some upgrades done to the raffle stunt saber.

I'm starting to wonder if I should email to ask for an ETA.... I don't mind the wait, I expected a long one under the circumstances. But I'm starting to chafe a bit from not having any idea when.

Just got my order from Feb 27, my custom Initiate V5, Obsidian V4, VA blade, and a Dark Liberator V3 with CG blade, and the “freeinitiate” bonus is a Initiate V4 with red 24” blade and two AAA setup . I like the Liberator it’s a nice basic hilt but looks and feels good .

Useful to know! I placed my order on that day as well. I expect my order will be delayed relative to that, because I had some upgrades done to the raffle stunt saber.

I'm starting to wonder if I should email to ask for an ETA.... I don't mind the wait, I expected a long one under the circumstances. But I'm starting to chafe a bit from not having any idea when.

Yeah I just sent an email to customer service email and marlena asking for tentative timeline. The leads with US is still pretty good.

update: the other MB I got today, the one that processed in less than a day, turned out to be an Aeon LE V2 in Consular Green. Not bad!

Out of curiosity when you got the notice for your order, did they mention the 'freeinitiate' anywhere except the coupon code?  I have my two other sabers spelled out as coming, and the freeinitiate in the 'coupon' section... but still seeing things like 'quantity 2' when there should be 3 in that box... just curious how the bookkeeping looks with that initate… :)

Well, in my case, all the order summary showed was a 1 cent discount after the subtotal, and I was told by CSR that when shipping dept would see that "Discount: -$0.01 " on the order, that would be all they'd need to remind them to include the "freeinitiate"

"Subtotal: $340.00
Discount: -$0.01"

I've been getting one email a day with someone there and I've been told that my order from FEB 13 will ship within 1-2 business days. This will be twice that I've been told that my order will ship but with no shipping info to follow. I will resume patient but we will see what email I get tomorrow. Here's to being optimistic.

Kudos to you and being patient, Redokami.  The wait will be worth it the moment you have your Dark Initiate LE V5 in your hands

Points to everyone for being patient and friendly in times like this, those at Ultrasabers appreciate this.  The mods and I also appreciate you guys

I ordered my Saber on March 4th and sent an email (on the 6th) with a question about the free Initiate that would come with my order. I know my saber is most likely not going to be in for another few weeks sadly, it looks like most people have been waiting about 8 weeks to get theirs with the current situation. My email was just asking if my free Initiate saber could be a Dark Initiate v3 with a red blade or if it had to be random. I haven't received an email response yet, but I bet one of you guys can answer that. But I would like to know what the waiting period is at this point and what kind of an impact Covid-19 is having on anything. I'd like my saber soon of course, but the health and safety of the US team is much more important. I'd rather you guys shut down for a while for safety reasons than risk getting sick just to deliver luxury items... no matter how coveted they may be, lol.

PS. Thank you all for working so hard in the circumstances, but please, be safe!

Hey Spartan!

I am pretty sure that the free Initiate is a random "grab bag" pull.   However, my experience in the past is that it never hurts to ask, either. 

Wait times I think are still running about 8 weeks from what I'm seeing on the forum.  They do seem to be getting better on answering emails, however, so hopefully you'll get an official response soon.

If you don't, try re-sending the email to [email protected] and/or [email protected]

I’m in the same boat as you are.  I ordered on March 3 and sent an email about the Frankensaber I should be getting.  I am still waiting to hear back but I’m not worried since I have plenty of sabers to keep me tied over.  I’m looking forward to seeing what I’m going to end up with. I’ve yet to be disappointed in any of the sabers I’ve gotten.   Expect any of the freebies to be random since that’s the norm.

Not sure if there's anything different between our two orders, but mine is still being processed. And I placed mine on the 28th.

[Choose Your Configuration: Stunt]

I wish I had a lightsaber to hold me over, but I don't sadly :/   The best I've got is a lightsaber mod for Blade & Sorcery on my PC. It's fun though, I can get a decent enough fix from it for now. I'm also practicing some lightsaber techniques with a (Dagorhir) foam fighting sword. I'll be pretty proficient by the time it gets here hopefully, lol.

Update on my order... I got an email telling me that they were out of the saber that I chose and offered me alternative options. I reluctantly accepted it and went with the Dominix LE V4 with emitter windows. It's going to have all of the stuff from before and hopefully I'll get an email soon telling me that it shipped. I really can't help but to feel that I'm being jerked around a bit but at the same time, these sabers are beautiful pieces of art and I'm so anxious to finally receive it. I'm currently struggling to stay optimistic and my patience is being tested. Hopefully something good comes later in the day lol.

Update: I got an email telling me that they've successfully changed the order to the new hilt and they're building it as we speak. What this tells me is that when they were finally able to get to my order, they realized that they were out of stock of that particular hilt. So I'm expecting an email with shipping info to come very soon, like either today or tomorrow. Hopefully buy this time next week or sooner, I'll have three new sabers. I wonder if I can mix and match hilt parts from them. I have the Dominix LE V4 and a Dark Apprentice V5, Does anyone know if I can swap the emitters?

Both of those hilts have built in emitters. I’m afraid you won’t be swapping anything except pommels on them.

Closest one is Orange, with Orange switch. Middle is random Red. Farthest is random Blue.

I will definitely be sending back the far saber at some point for sound and recharge port. I'm considering how I want to staff the Initiates. Thinking Yellow (KOTOR fan checking in).

With everything going on, I’m assuming there’s a further delay in processing orders. I’m currently waiting on two orders placed on the 16th and 17th of February. One order is an azure fallen lite sound plus a mystery box while the other is a renegade le which I chose to get a saber stand with. I’m reading about delays in saber stands as well so I feel like I’m in for a wait. And to add to that I’m international.

Any idea roughly how long these will take, or if US is even doing international orders right now? Just curious is all, as I know there are more important things going on right now.

I'm planning on using the quick release one. The main question is what color(s). The obvious (to me) default option is 2x Yellow. But 2x Arctic Blue would be good too, or possibly 1 SY, 1 AB.

As backed up as US is I have plenty of time to decide before it is reasonable to send them in.

I have yet to hear anything about them not processing international orders, however it does appear as if most orders that involve some customization seems to be shipping out about the 8-10 week mark.  This is not set in stone of course I’m just relaying want others in the forum have been mentioning.  This does not take into account customs checks of course.

I just got an email about my first order with a fedex tracking number so that puts it about 6 weeks which is still really good all things considered. You’re right though, I may be stuck waiting for it to clear customs, but at least its on its way! Looking forward to my first MB!

If the 8-10 week mark is anything to go by (currently at week 5 here from Feb 28th), I should be getting my spectre at the end of the month. Part of me is frustrated at waiting for something that shouldn't take this long, but I know and understand the backlog due to:

1. The Madalorian
2. Rise of Skywalker
3. the holiday season
4. Talks of the Obi-Wan show that's still in works

Part of me does want to send an email asking about a new lead time, but I wanna be patient and wait another week.

Post by: Alhazred82 on April 05, 2020, 03:51:42 PM
You could absolutely send an email asking for a new lead time if it would help you feel better. Honestly though, it probably won't. Just because they won't actually give you a new lead time. I did the same thing. Not rushing or upset, just politely asking for a new lead time. (Feb 8th order) I received a reply stating that they saw that my order was not shipped in the 3-4 week lead time and that they would look into it and get back to me in 1-2 business days. That was about a week ago and I haven't heard anything back yet. So your best bet is to sit back, relax, and assume a 10 week lead time. Then you can be pleasantly surprised when/if it ships sooner. :)

Well, no one has ever replied to my emails, even when I tried the variety of different directions of how to do so or ways others said they did and had it work.

BUT! This weekend I got a notification / tracking number email letting me know it was waiting to be picked up at the facility, and today it has been picked up!

So, 170 days later /aka 24.3 weeks later they have shipped from my original order date of the empty hilt and yari parts.

...sad thing is when they arrive I cannot assemble as I cannot get together with my friend who had promised to help me make a neopixel bladed lightsaber build this winter as it is now A. Spring and B. Stay At Home orders are in effect.  *Head Desk* I am so conflicted at least partly relieved that something is at least happening so I can now be ready whenever this quarantine status quo finally passes enough we can get together and work on it whenever he finally has free time again.

Waiting for my first saber. It's an Initiate v5 with Lite sound. Guardian blue with silver FOC. It just passed the 7-week mark yesterday so I'm really excited  :D

Just received confirmation that my saber has been completed and shipped!

However, I have a question. When I go to track the order, it says the order number doesn't exist. Does it take time for FedEx to refresh their system with tracking numbers?

They may not have uploaded the tracking number to FedEx yet.  It will be in there before the FedEx guy makes his pick-up at their dock.

Got the email for tracking. I should be getting my saber by end of this Friday. Which is on the short end of the 8-10 weeks (6 weeks from Feb 28th if my math is right). Which is cool.

That's nice! I wonder if they ship orders out based on how simple the order is, or by when you placed it. I ordered mine the 17th of February, whereas you ordered yours the 28th! I wonder if they have different people who each work on a group of orders, and yours was made first. Funny how it works. Excited for you though!

It really boils down to what you order. Sound sabers take more skill to build, and not as many of their builders are able to do it yet, so that slows down an order, while one that is all stunt saber can be built by whatever person get tasked with it. An order like mine will take longer simply due to sheer volume of the order, even though it’s all stunt sabers. I ordered on the 26th, so I’m already well beyond the estimated time and just twiddling my thumbs while I wait. Wouldn’t be so bad if I hadn’t been out of work since they closed the schools. The only upside to this is I’ll have plenty of time to play with mine because I don’t go back to work until September when school starts back up. The joys of working at a school I guess.

That's kind of what I thought too. I got one with sound and flash on clash, so I bet I'm still in for another week or 2.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I didn't add sound to mine. So they were probably waiting for the small pieces and whatnot that I did order for the saber and what goes with that style hilt. Hope you get yours soon. I'm in a similar boat with my restaurant being closed down #1; #2, not much foot traffic in my area's major airport. I'll have time to play with it until orders are lifted for restaurants/bars to reopen.

Received my order from the Feb. 16th today and got a tracking number for an order I placed on the 17th!

On the left is the free initiate saber which I believe is a dark initiate v3. Middle is my mystery box, which is an apprentice v4. Not a great pull on the mystery box, but the azure fallen is beautiful which was the main part of my order. I find the weight if the fallen to be in the blade guards, so I would say this is more of a two handed saber. It’s also massive, so I doubt I’ll be making a staff out of it. Overall, I’m really happy with the order!

Now just waiting on my renegade LE, expected thursday!

Those are great pulls, DD!   That Dark Initiate V3 is really nice, is it Sentinel Yellow or Fire Orange?  That would be a great one to match for a staff, I think.  :-)

Patiently waiting on our first Mystery box. I've heard recent reports of people getting their shipping notice within a week of ordering for only MB orders.
I'm hoping the same happens for us. I've even heard of notices going out within 24hrs, but alas I ordered on Saturday and it's already Tuesday and no tracking number.

Fingers crossed for shipping by the end of this week.

We'll do an unboxing + reveal of whose saber it will be, since my youngest son will get to choose between it and a Phantasm V2 in VA with red day blades.
So I'd imagine he'll only decide to keep the MB if it has sound or is true red. Otherwise a staff in slightly dimmed red is a better choice.

3x a Fallen, looks like they're popular. Can't blame anyone, they're beautifull.

I'm with Karmack on the Dorian. How does it handle? And what's the lenght of the hilt between the emitter and pommel (The part uyou can actually use).

Points to everyone for sharing.

Goodluck with waiting Threadjack. Must be hard now.

Gedda, as stated in the other thread, you'll have to use both of these sabers for a character. I believe they go quite well together as a pair.  Congrats on the Crimson Diamond Dorinian!

Oh I haven’t. I emailed once simply asking if they had an updated timeframe once I knew my quoted one was up knowing with all going on it would probably be later. They replied 2-4 business days. It honestly doesn’t bother me if it’s a few more days I would have just preferred a more honest timeline that way we don’t get our hopes up and then nothing happen. I’m sure they’re all very hard at work and this is a stressful time. Honestly I probably won’t email back. Like I said it was more because when Jason replied his response was “I will make sure it ships out to you within 2-4 business days.” People’s health and safety is way more important.

I'm impatiently waiting for April 15 to arrive as that is when the Empress sabers start to ship.  I ordered mine on February 11 (shortly after they were announced) so hopefully mine will be some of the first to ship and I will get my two Empress diamonds and four freebies from the last giveaway in short order.  I'm starting to get the shakes.

My order from 26. Jan. got processed on 24. March. It was an entry level stunt and two mystery boxes (both are entry level stunts as well).
I had to mail (waited for a week, didn't help) and set up a complaint via Paypal, which could result in no money for US (answer within 24hours).

Or... and here's a novel idea.... You realize that you're lucky they're able to function at all, understand they have loads of orders and are completing them as quick as possible, and you stop threatening charge backs to get your order bumped up the queue. Email them if you must, but have some blasted patience. Even 10 weeks out they're still one of the fastest producers at this point. Everyone else is sitting much longer on their production times. They're working hard, and we're hearing from them here on the forums from time to time. What would you rather they do though, spend all day answering the thousands of e-mails they get from impatient people wanting their sabers immediately, or actually building said sabers with every hand they have?

Im sorry but based on this comment and your "Review" bash post you sound like a tool. During this crazy time with this virus and part shortages due to limitations in China we should give them a break. They are working day and night in 3 shifts so we all get our sabers. Just my .02

It has all been written here, since this is not new. This is a constant situation since Christmas. We have April and US promises 3-4 weeks processing time. It may be an "Ooopsie" for a week or two, but three months and counting? I consider this wrong. If they promise 100 days and I get it on 99th day, it is honest service and okay. If they stop accepting orders for a week or two, explaining why, its OK as well. I'd probably wait.
When this is not possible due to unforeseen factors, then I expect proactive, honest information. Are yellow TriCree LEDs not available on the market, China is not shipping for next 4 weeks? Write a mail to all customers of sabers with yellow blades, explaining the situation, declaring new shipping date. Accept full refund at customers discretion. In a perfect world, communicate measures to prevent the same situation in the future. If someone does this, even as bulk e-mail, its okay and I wait (im)patiently. In my case, I felt _forced to_ go via Paypal, after my order was overdue for 2-3 weeks, I tried daily calls for one week and then I tried e-mail for another week.
1st level Customer service per mail is a task that is well-known and may be performed almost equally good during a lockdown. I do expect this from a company that delivers cool, customized experience and not mass-produced crap, bolted together by underpaid semi-slaves somewhere that far away, that noone cares.

Im sorry but based on this comment and your "Review" bash post you sound like a tool. During this crazy time with this virus and part shortages due to limitations in China we should give them a break. They are working day and night in 3 shifts so we all get our sabers. Just my .02
I'm not affiliated with any toy manufacturer, institution connected to Star Wars or similar. Actually, I wish US all the best. If I didn't, I'd just cancel my order and NOT complain. I shared my thoughts on the delivery per mail with US, with no response. I consider every part of my story true. Feel free to prove me wrong - if you do, I'll gladly call it back. If I'm in doubt (FCC, light distribution in the blade etc.), I clearly state that. When a credit is due, US gets it.

It has all been written here, since this is not new. This is a constant situation since Christmas. We have April and US promises 3-4 weeks processing time. It may be an "Ooopsie" for a week or two, but three months and counting? I consider this wrong. If they promise 100 days and I get it on 99th day, it is honest service and okay. If they stop accepting orders for a week or two, explaining why, its OK as well. I'd probably wait.
When this is not possible due to unforeseen factors, then I expect proactive, honest information. Are yellow TriCree LEDs not available on the market, China is not shipping for next 4 weeks? Write a mail to all customers of sabers with yellow blades, explaining the situation, declaring new shipping date. Accept full refund at customers discretion. In a perfect world, communicate measures to prevent the same situation in the future. If someone does this, even as bulk e-mail, its okay and I wait (im)patiently. In my case, I felt _forced to_ go via Paypal, after my order was overdue for 2-3 weeks, I tried daily calls for one week and then I tried e-mail for another week.
1st level Customer service per mail is a task that is well-known and may be performed almost equally good during a lockdown. I do expect this from a company that delivers cool, customized experience and not mass-produced crap, bolted together by underpaid semi-slaves somewhere that far away, that noone cares.
I'm not affiliated with any toy manufacturer, institution connected to Star Wars or similar. Actually, I wish US all the best. If I didn't, I'd just cancel my order and NOT complain. I shared my thoughts on the delivery per mail with US, with no response. I consider every part of my story true. Feel free to prove me wrong - if you do, I'll gladly call it back. If I'm in doubt (FCC, light distribution in the blade etc.), I clearly state that. When a credit is due, US gets it.

And to make this post on-topic: My saber misses a screw for covertec wheel - any recent experience on how long does it take for US to process a complaint about it? Mailed them on 1.April.

Try emailing Timothy at [email protected]. He's very responsive and the longest I waited was two days or three days for a response. He helped me fix an order and get it shipped quickly.

I'm sorry you're having less than ideal experience. A close friend of mine has ordered from US for years and have never came to an issue except one time and it was easily resolved. I've had nothing but a great experience ordering my first saber in February.

Please keep in mind everything that's going on. All businesses in and out of the saber field have been suffering. Other companies have posted 12 week lead times and haven't met that. They are trying and dedicating their times trying to not only keep up, but to catch up in general. Though I agree that some business decisions are made that haven't helped their situation, I think it would serve best that we be mindful and patient, especially during all this that's going on.

Patience has won the day. Two days ago I received word that my Renegade LE was finally completed. Today I just received the shipping notice! It will be here by Wednesday. About a week 1/2 ago, I was told that they were working on all the more complicated sabers..trying to get them finished and shipped. With a limited group of techs who can build them, it's taken some time. But they are coming! Pics and video when it arrives.

Good luck on the Raffle!  I'd love to see pics of the Brood Guard when you get it  :)  I get the impression that the Brood is one of the more rare hilts in the average arsenal/collection .

I just got my shipping notice yesterday, with a FedEx tracking number and all.  So I’m looking at a Thursday (hopefully) delivery.  I won’t lie...I emailed several different people at US to see if I could make and adjustment to my order before it shipped but I never got a response.  I should have a Diamond EH, 3 MB’s with sound, and then some freebies: initiate, grab bag, MB, and Frankensaber.  Hopefully the Frankensaber is as awesome as the ones I’ve seen so far.  I’ll keep y’all posted

I so want a Broodguard myself and wish they had LE versions especially for the silver one because I love gold...

Our first Mystery box is on its way!

Really excited to see what it is and who gets to keep it.
My son has first choice and gets to either keep the MB if he likes it, or keep a Phantasm v2 with red blades

If it has sound, he'll probably want the MB.
If it's a blue or green stunt, he'll probably keep the Phantasm v2 instead.

I kinda hope the if it doesn't have sound that it's blue because my wife isn't thrilled with the Silver Dark initiate V4 I got her. The blue color filters are either too dim or too washed out.

So whatever the MB turn out to be, we've got plans for it

Up until now, I've always used USPS and haven't had any issues aside from my first US order taking over a week to get to me despite going from Houston to Dallas on the first day of tracking.

The MB that's supposed to arrive today will be my first experience with FedEx. Their tracking puts it on the truck for delivery early this morning from a town less than an hour from me.
So hopefully that all works out and I get the package later today.

Around 5-6pm would be preferred as that is when my WFH shift is over and I'll be able to answer the door if needed.
Arriving later would also reduce my and my son's temptation to open it before I can set up the unboxing video.

I've always had good experiences with FedEx.  UPS isn't too bad, but they always come super late (as late as 8:00 PM sometimes).  USPS is always a crapshoot.  Once a week I get someone else's mail.  The only two times we ordered sabers from "the other guys" both boxes were so mangled I'm surprised nothing was damaged.  Then again, considering "the other guys" also tried to stuff a 37" blade into a 36" box and had virtually no padding in there, it's a miracle everything worked (except for a broken battery holder that was obviously shipped that way).  With that experience, I won't complain (too much) if US uses a lot of packing peanuts in my next shipment.

That is annoying.

If you have a number for the local depot I'd call them.  They may be able to get the driver back to your door before he comes back in for the day.
I would also file a complaint with them.   That's utterly rediculous.

I have occasionally wondered if delivery drivers don't report "no one home" when the real reason was "running behind and decided to write this stop off to make up time."

Well, I live in an apartment complex and our main office is closed due to Coronavirus. But even USPS has been kind enough to leave packages at our door.
I suspect they went to the office, saw it was closed and didn't try harder. My actually apartment is less than a parking lot away from the main office, so I super frustrated they didn't knock on my door.
Especially since I've seen FedEx do this for other apartments in my complex BEFORE the outbreak.

I called the main FedEx number to at least update the delivery instructions to actually come to my door.
If this happens again tomorrow, I won't be using FedEx ever again. USPS may be slower, but they've always been reliable for me.

My son and I were so hyped to do an unboxing video today.

Yeah, that stinks.   I've never had any issues with FedEx, but I live in a house not an apartment.   Still, seems like common sense would bring them to your door if the office was closed.  Sheesh.

It sucks knowing that your saber was mere yards away and there's nothing you could do.
And my wife doesn't understand my frust-rage-tion.
I know it's "just" a lightsaber, but the expectation was set to be delivered today, it came very close, but because some delivery driver didn't want to walk 10 more yards, I have to wait 1 more day.
Worst is that I don't even know if it's 1 more day or if I'll have to drive to the FedEx location on my day off to pick it up.
That won't be until Friday

That happened to me with USPS on one of the sabers I ordered from "the other guys".  It was a Saturday, I was on the back porch smoking a brisket...mmmm...brisket...anyway.  I heard the door bell ring and before I could make the 30-second trip from the porch to the front door, the driver was back in his truck heading down the street with my package.  I quickly put on my shoes, grabbed my keys, hopped in the Jeep, and tried to chase him down in the neighborhood.  I couldn't find him.  I ended up racing to the local post office, had the clerk contact him, and had him meet me back at my house.  I have a feeling the drivers already have the "sorry we missed you tag" ready to go and basically do a "ding-dong ditch".

Yes I used to know a FedEx driver and back then they did get docked if they ran behind schedule even a couple minutes.  The GPS was tracking how long their truck sat idle as they made deliveries.  I can sure see them pre-printing those "delivery attempted" tags and writing off stops to make up time.

Been there and done that!

In the past I have had FedEx actually deliver the package to one of their local store-fronts and just went and picked it up.  There is one about a mile from my office, and it always ended up there around 10:30am.  So I would go get the thing on my lunch break.   :-)

Not sure that's an option now, I am pretty sure those little offices are all closed due to the lock-down...

Now the real hard wait begins. My WFH shift isn't over for another 3 hours. So I'm sitting here staring at the box wondering what's inside.

I had an email about two of my hilts being out of stock and their offered substitutions. Made the appropriate choices after talking with my wife since one was her saber. Figured that meant my order was underway. That was over a week ago and I haven’t heard anything yet so maybe I wasn’t as close to the front of the line as I thought.

Title: My Order on 26 Jan 2020
Post by: Rudypop on April 16, 2020, 08:28:21 AM
On 26 January 2020, I placed my order. I emailed them numerous times regarding a request. 6-7 weeks later, I finally received a reply. Timothy said that that he will ship my order within 1-2 working days but I made 2 requests so I don't mind waiting a few days more. After which on 28 March 2020, Brent sent me an email saying that one of the sabers that I ordered is out of stock and I need to wait 6-8 weeks for it. This is unacceptable as previously Timothy said that he will ship my order, therefore, all my sabers was supposedly in stock and ready. I emailed them afterward and to this day, there's no follow up to it. I am getting tired and restless with all this. I have spent a lot of hard earn money on that order. So what should I do? In a couple more days it will be 3 months already since I ordered.


Title: Re: My Order on 26 Jan 2020
Post by: darthteaos on April 16, 2020, 09:09:14 AM
I had a similar experience. I ordered on February 21st, 2020 and I waited 6 weeks before emailing just to check up on my order. Got an email saying the usual “were so sorry here’s a 20% off coupon and we’ll have it shipped in 1-2 days”. I was so excited.

2 days went buy and nothing but I figured i’d give them time. I waited 1 week and emailed them again saying hey it’s been a week and it hasn’t shipped what’s up? (I understand that they’re busy, but if they said they would ship it and they didn’t?) and they said hey were so sorry we looked up your order and it still hasn’t shipped we will investigate and get back to you in 1-2 days.

The next day I get an URGENT email saying that the Lite soundboards are sold out. I could either pay more money to get a v4 sound board (for the price or the v3), or be  refunded the price of the sound boards, or wait until they get them back in stock (they said april 27th but they’re not sure).

I totally understand that they’re busy, but if they say they’re gonna ship it and they don’t it’s super duper annoying. having you wait another 6-8 weeks for your saber is totally unfair. I’m so sorry this is happening and I do hope they get things sorted out.

If i was you, if you don’t need your saber by a specific date I would wait a few weeks then email them again and see if it’s back in stock.

Even if they had your order in hand at the time of payment, I would imagine it would still take time to reach them, get finalized and all that, not to mention the amount of orders they're having to deal with in lieu of all the setbacks. It can't be any easier for them knowing they might be letting multiple people down due to circumstances out of their control.

Just relax my friend. All in good time.

Which one did you get? Aeon LE v5 for me

Hold on tight everyone! My order was just completed after 25 days so things have got to be cruising right along out there.


I wish. Sitting at 7 weeks as of yesterday, and well over a week after I was promised 1-2 days. All I’ve heard in that time was a substitution of two of my hilts, and that was last Monday. I’m trying to be patient but the whole being trapped thing has already grated my patience down to almost nothing.

I’m also 8 weeks out at this point so it’s not something new.

It finally happened, after 11 weeks of waiting and having to change the sound board and the pummel, I have gotten a tracking number!!! Thanks for this forum to keep my sanity durning this wait time and some help on pummel images. My kids want me to do an unboxing video but I’m not sure I have that much more patients after it arrives to setup a camera lol. I’ll post something vid or pics when I get done spinning it around for a couple of hours.

Just got the shipping notice on my 3 sabers from TCSS.
They may be little light up keychains for $1.25 each, but I'm gonna count them anyway.

Gonna try to prank my wife when it gets here. She's basically forbade me from ordering more sabers and since I also ordered a red day blade with this order, it will come in a long box.
As I open the box I'm gonna tell her I bought 3 more sabers and see how mad she gets, then I'll pull out the keychains.

Hopefully it goes well and doesn't backfire on me.

Aeon LE v5 was out of stock (I know, it never was listed as out of stock on the online shop). Should be available around April 14. again. But no news right now. So I hope The Fallen, I have ordered too, was built before it was out of stock now.  :-\

Id say its going to be a bit of a wait. With them being backed up first from the movie, then xmas, then the virus they are trying to catch up. Ive heard they are working day & night in 3 shifts to get us our orders. I have 3 orders Im waiting on myself. I have faith that US will catch up and crank out orders.

I ordered my first lightsaber ever! Im so excited. I got myself a LE Phantom v4, with DVA as the color and a mystery saber. My husband is getting a Dark Mantis with Adegan Silver as the color and is getting the free initiate since we qualified for that in the Spring Raffle Extravaganza.

I haven't even received the first lightsabers and I already want to order more.... lol  ;D

I can't comment on the Mantis, but you're going to love that Phantom v4! As a single saber and as a staff. They're the best!
They're my favourite sabers for spinning, sparring, form-work, everything!

If you're ever thinking of ordering something new or extra's. Think about a War Glaive pommel for (on of them). It really balances the saber out. When using a 32" HG blade the balance point gets right to the top of the chokepoint on the emitter, making it perfect for spinning. Someone on this forum gave this tip to me ones, forgot his/her name, but I'm forever grateful.

This is what it looks like in silver:
The other pomnmel is a Catalyst pommel. Hasn't really got the balance benefit, but it looks great ;)

Goodluck while waiting, enjoy the unboxing and first time lighting up of your sabers, and of course everything else.
And please, pictures are appreciated :D

After 5 days of near-obsessively refreshing the USPS tracking page, the Aeon has arrived. I'll do a full review soon, but I can tell you, whoever was involved put hard work into this saber. It's a real work of art, and I'm going to be hesitant to duel my friends. Well worth the wait.

Good to know! Those look great! You're making me more excited. I got the phantom v4 mostly for spinning so its good to know that they are good for that. If I do end up ordering another saber I'll look into the pommel you mentioned. Thanks.  ;D

Ok, from looking around on this forum - it seems like we are all about as patient as a kid in a candy store while waiting for our new sabers to come in the mail.  This is the place to vent and let everyone know what you got, why you got it, and in general talk about your new purchase until it arrives and you can start terrorizing your family/girlfriend/dog/friends with it.

I personally just ordered a Pyrestone SS Raven with a set of normal claws also for dueling.  I got the quick disconnect and a Red MLS unit as well because, well, it IS the sith stalker after all!  I also ordered a black vented coupler for my prophecies (or the Raven and a prophecy!) and hopefully for a Raven staff down the road.

The last part of the order was an LED swap for my SRD Standard Issue.  The hilt has a black and silver theme after my striped grip-tape application, and I'm going to change it to have a Adegan Silver blade.  I've always wanted to see a silver saber and it will fit well with the theme.  

To offset the added light-side the blade now has, I'm probably going to attach a Dark War Glaive claw at the emitter when I get it back.  I know, I know.  I'm playing out the single WG claw, but hey - I like it, and I think it will fit well on that saber and balance out the light/dark ratio.

Ok, your turn.

Ready...  Set...     ....    . .           GO!



Ordered my first Saber yesterday. A guardian hilt in Arctic blue with V4 sound. Excited is an understatement. I’ll be duelling with my son soon enough. Counting the days  😁

So I wanted to join the raffle, and in spite of getting 18 sabers yesterday and giving two away to my brother, two to my wife and one to my son, my wife let me put in an order for my first diamond saber. It’ll be a Flamberge v2 with hot pink blades, silver flash on clash, recharge port and a white illuminated black switch. I was trying to come up with the silliest thing I could, and the though of a nearly six and a half foot tall man, dressed in a black duster wielding this intimidatingly huge lightsaber came to mind. Then you turn it on and the blasted thing is hot pink, and completely ruins the intimidation factor and just leaves it funny. So that’s what I did. Already have the huge guy and black duster, just need the ridiculously big lightsaber. Sadly it’ll probably be too hot for duster when that saber shows mid-late June.

Ordered a matching Red day blade from TCSS for my son's Phantasm v2. It was supposed to arrive Tuesday but now it's "moving within the USPS network on the way to the next facility".
I was really hoping to get it by today so I could cut it to length and have it ready. I have Fridays off, so if it doesn't come today, I'll be spending tomorrow bummed about it.
The weather is finally stabilizing so we could go out and duel again, but I guess we'll have to wait more

At least you could order!   The pieces I want (extensions and adaptors) are all Out Of Stock....

That's true. I remember having to wait some time to get a complete Blue blade. The Thick walled tips were out of stock the same time as the thin walled blades, so I ended up ordering the Thick walled blade and waiting for the tips to get back in stock.

I guess worse case scenario were can use the 24" UEHG blades to duel. Although the LEDs in his Phantasm v2 are VA, which is partly why we need the red blades to filter it to red.
The other reason is to cut them to 28inches to get more reach.
We want to re-enact the Ep1 duel. So he'd be Maul, I'd be QuiGon and my other son ObiWan

This is going to be my first order, so I was originally planning to get ONE SABER.

MAAAAYBE if I chose one of the less expensive sabers, then one saber and a mystery box.

Yesterday, I ordered THREE SABERS!!!  :o  ::)  :D

* Grandmaster in Sentinel Yellow - the one that first caught my eye and I kept going back to. I wondered if maybe the orange was “yellow-y” enough that I’d be happy with it and could save some money. If Sentinel Yellow was not an option, then yes. I probably would be. But looking at pics here and on YouTube, etc... I decided to just pay the extra few bucks for the truer color. I think it will be worth it.

* Fallen in Consular Green - because... why not? And the green looks really cool, I think it will be awesome with that saber.

* Grab Bag Saber in Violet Amethyst - also... because why not!? But why Grab Bag and not Mystery Box like the original plan? You MIGHT get a sound saber in the Mystery Box, etc etc... And who doesn’t like a surprise?

Well... apparently -ME.

I thought about it, and until my collection is LARGER, I Think I only like SORTA SURPRISES. I really want that blade color - Violet Amethyst. but the Hilt? I am completely open minded and will love a surprise! So I can’t wait to see whatever it is.

And I don’t care that it will be a stunt saber with no sound - the mystery box was not GUARANTEED sound anyways unless I was paying extra Which I couldn’t do when already buying way more than anticipated, Which leads to my final point... I could get the 15% off a Grab Bag but not Mystery Box lol  :D

Anyways... and NOW... the waiting game...

I had placed my order on January and got a mail on end of March that I have to wait a little bit longer, because one of the hilts was out of stock. Well, my order was sent last week finally. So, don't worry, they need a little more time sometimes.
For question you could try to contact Marlena too. I got answers to my questions within 3 days normaly.

I placed an order on March 8th and haven't received it, the status of my order has not changed, I've sent 3 emails with no reply. This was for my sons birthday which has been and gone. 7 weeks and nothing from you. Order #737896.

Ultrasabers hosts this forum but it is just a place with fans talking amongst each other. Actual US staff stops by only occasionally and does not conduct business through this forum so there is no one here who can look up your order or give you any sort of official answer. Continuing to email is probably your best course of  action and the only one that may get you any actual information.

Typically for multiple orders, they try to ship them together to save on shipping but if you order weeks apart, they may ship separately. Also, keep in mind that they're busy so they may or may not realized that you have more than one order

Should be getting my son's Fallen with Premium sound this week. Estimated delivery on Thursday, but I've set my expectations no earlier than Saturday.
It'll be the first saber we have that isn't a stunt or Lite sound.

Next we are waiting for my other son's Phantom initiate V4 staff in Tri-red with Li-ion setup. Got 28" red day blades for it.
I also just put together 2 saber "extensions" to make each Dark Initiate V4 into baton/tonfa/night sticks.
Going to permanently glue thier pommels into them so he can swap between the batons or the staff.
Ordered the adjustable coupler, which can double as 2 separate pommels if we remove the screw holding them together.

So I guess technically he can do a staff, paired sabers or paired  batons. Although since I made the baton parts out of PVC, we'll probably not use those for dueling and only use the 24" midgrades it will come with. The 28" red blades are thick walled, so we can duel with those as staff or paired

It's very exciting

And for the future, don't post your order number. It's a question of common sense regarding your own safety. Although the community here is made of very nice people, the posts can be seen by everyone, not only members, so somebody may steal your data regarding your order. So I would advise you to edit your post and delete the order number, or at least some digits.

Hey there, Annoyed. We can understand your frustration but can't do anything other than relate to you. Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] to check on your order and give them time to respond, they are working 24/7 to get sabers out to people and I've heard people receiving a response at 2 AM in the morning. firehand is correct, US owns this forum but it's separate from the business side

Hello there, due to the holidays, the release of Rise of Skywalker, and sales events, it has been taking some time for orders to get out to people due to the high volume of orders since.  Just know that Ultrasabers is working 24/7 in three different shifts to get sabers out to everyone. Except wait times of 4 to 8 weeks plus, longer if you live outside the United States.   

Please check out the (im)Patiently waiting for my... thread for more info since we've directed all questions about orders there: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=1403.10380 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=1403.10380)

Just got my initiate v2 yesterday, and I am loving it. As nice as the MHS hilts are, there is something very satisfying about how slim the v2 hilts are comparatively.

i am glad to hear you are enjoying yours! how long did it take to ship? mine has been in processing for a while lol


i'm petite and my hands are definitely on the smaller side, which is one of the main reasons why i got a v2 for the slimmer hilt. something much easier to maneuver for spins and switching between grips!

Unless they’ve been able to catch up, I assume about 5-6 weeks right now so you will likely see yours around the end of May. I had two orders from mid February that arrived at the start of April.

On a side note, I lack self control and made an order for 4 premium sound sabers to take advantage of the may 4th sale. Highly anticipating my order for a sunrider’s destiny Spectre, blue violet amethyst Crimson Mantis, consular green Saviour and sentinel yellow GrandMaster LE plus all the goodies up to the grab bag tier. Now just the waiting game!

So good to hear one of them has shipped! Just out of curiousity, when did you place that order? I know wait times are long right now given the circumstances and that's completely ok with me, I'm just curious.

Just under 5 weeks is great! It looks like (at least from what I've seen recently on the forum) that they are catching up a little bit which is nice to see! Not saying at all that this is the expectation now, as I'm sure this current sale will drive more sales as well, but it's good to know they are catching up and their hard work is paying off!

I haven't even received my first order yet... and I may or may not have made another purchase  ;D

Ordered a diamond LE Renegade for myself and my hubby got a Scorpion with blazing red and premium sound. Also got a free initiate in this order. We are super excited, since we kind of regretted not adding sound to our first sabers. Now we keep telling ourselves we have enough lightsabers but... there are so many more we want lol

I can't wait to received both orders and post my reviews of course.

(I already posted my previous order in here but it is a Phantom v4, Dark Mantis, mystery, and free initiate)

Well, I am patiently waiting on 2 separate orders from 4/17 and the other 4/22, As well as a first place prize from the raffle.
Just saw the 4/17 order is completed and tracking has been issued. This one is for A Spectre with Premium Obsidian Sound, the engraving, in the Sun Rider's color. Now I can't wait to get it knowing it is on the way.

The 4/22 Order is still being worked on, that one has a Mystery Box with sound and then A Lost Grey with Enerald Drivers and sound. I am having that shipped with Adegan Silver pulse to blue, the 4 channel driver, 24" blade.

As for the raffle prize, can't wait to see what I get.

Will have to update with pics or unboxing when I get each.

I am (im)patiently waiting on my first custom Diamond purchase: an Electrum Wind, a $75MB, free initiate, & my 4th place raffle. I just received my tracking info tonight, so it is a good bet they're mostly caught up. I placed my order on 4/22. I may have gotten really lucky not having ordered anything out of stock. I feel the pain of those who've had to wait 2 + months, but the wait seems to be almost over!

Can't wait to see pics of what y'all get!

Tracking!   I have tracking on my incoming order and 4th place prize.  Should be here early next week.  Order was placed 4/22.  So they seem to be catching up nicely.  Or I just picked the right hilt and card combo...


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Sempra Diem on May 01, 2020, 01:46:42 AM
Wow those are some really impressive turn around times! Anything inside 2 weeks is extremely fast given the circumstances. As Karmack said it is possible that there was some luck involved with picking the right combos that they had in stock and such, so again we shouldn't be taking that as the "new normal" just yet. But we haven't seen turn around times like that for custom sabers in months, so that is really promising to hear! Hopefully the team at US has been able to take a bit of a breather after the craziness that has been the last couple of months. They certainly deserve it.

Woke up from my nap to a fedex shipping notification on my first order!

Ack, Im so excited for my very first lightsabers. Its suppose to arrive on the 4th, which if it does will be pretty much perfect.

Well, I do have one of those cheap toy ones from my childhood (which I found out a couple days ago is qui gon's lightsaber, but for some reason the blade is red? Like, why? lol)

I placed the order April 16th so not too bad compared to some of seen.

Can't wait to hold and spin the dual blade (Phantom v4), hopefully my color guard training comes in handy. Also, lightsabers would have been so cool for band.

Sorry, bit rambly. Excited and tired is a fun combo. I hope everyone waiting gets their notifications soon!  ;D

My oldest son's Fallen just arrived. It's awesome and we haven't even hooked it up to the computer to see want other sons fonts we could all. He decided he likes Episode 1.

Now we are waiting for my youngest son's Phantom initiate V4 in Tri-Red with Li-ion batteries to replace his Phantasm V2 in VA.
We'd been filtering to red using day blades, but it's noticeably dimmer. And the blue diode we're filtering out still draws power, so the batteries don't last long.
Once he gets his upgrade, he'll have a much brighter longer lasting saber.

After that we have no plans for any more sabers, although I definitely want an Emerald Crimson Scorpion to order as a "third times the charm" Raffle entry for the next Raffle.

Hey there NicKnack. The grab bags and mystery boxes are sabers that are made and put into a box. Once UltraSabers run out, they use left over stock or anything else that's available so just give them time. They're going to restock soon. Here's to hoping that you'll get yours soon

A little jealous of some of y’all’s super quick turn arounds
I’m very eagerly awaiting my dominix v5 and 4th place grab bag, I ordered on the 13th so I’m crossing my fingers to join the speedy batch

I ordered two empty hilts and three blades on the 10th.  I was hoping the empty hilts would ship faster and I'd have a quarantine project.  So far my project is checking this forum.  :P

Does anyone have an idea on the current average wait Times these days?  I realize things might be a bit crazy with the Covid.  Waiting patiently for a graflex ce with diamond.  On week 8 now.  First order from US shipped within days, but that was a a few years ago.


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Infinit01 on May 02, 2020, 02:30:47 PM
Average wait times are at least 3 to 4 weeks plus, they've been busy with orders since the holidays, Rise of Skywalker, Covid, and of course May the 4th sales. Rest assure that they are working in 3 different shifts around the clock doing 24/7 work weeks to get sabers out to customers, members, and fans alike. 


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Karmack on May 02, 2020, 09:00:14 PM
Wait time is officially still 3-4 weeks, and that's probably going to remain typical for a lot of the premium hilts and complex builds.

On the other hand, I have heard of several (including my own) 1-week turn-arounds on raffle entries.   So they're getting there.   But I would expect 4 weeks.   That way if they're faster its a bonus.   LOL

It’s hard to wait when you’re excited for something. I just hope it doesn’t take too much longer than the expected time given.

I only ordered on Friday. I haven't gotten notice and I am not expecting one for a while. But this post of an April 29th order getting a shipping notice, makes me very hopeful that I could get mine soon.

It could be all the hilts he purchased where easily available?

Yeah I got one of those as well from Eli on 4/20 stating it would ship in 1-2 days.  Still shows processing on the order info page, and I haven’t heard back yet from a follow up email yet.  I’m sure they’re super busy, but it still sucks.  I wasn’t expecting it to take this long since my first order a while back shipped Super quick (within days).

I’m in the same boat. Placed my first ever order on 4/26. Hoping, but not holding my breath, that it will be here by my son’s birthday on the 18th...

For anyone wondering, my last custom order shipped in 3 weeks (took another week+ to arrive).
I placed a separate MB order the same day as the above and it shipped about 10 days later.

Overall, I think they are getting caught up, but I still think it's a good idea to set you expectations well.
For example, I placed another custom order 4/26 and even though my last order came in 3 weeks, I don't plan on "anticipating" it until at least the end of May/ beginning of June. That way if it ships earlier, it will be a nice surprise.

My thoughts exactly Galef. My last custom order (placed 2/28) took 5 weeks to complete and 6 days after that to ship, so just under 6 weeks total. Funny enough, I also placed another custom order on 4/26, and even though it does seem like they are catching up since March, I haven't set my expectations higher than 6 weeks. Early June would be fine with me, and if it's earlier than that then it'll be a nice surprise!

I hear ya. Reading on this thread that they are turning them out close to the 3 to 4 week time frame has me cautiously optimistic but trying to keep the exceptions out to June. Either way it’s all good. It isn’t something my son asked for but he talks about making a saber at Disney. So, I figured it would be a cool surprise. Plus I ordered one for myself👍

Sorry for the late response, It was the Spectre with Obsidian Sound Board and engraving. I am hoping it gets here on 5/6, tracking shows it close. I must go meditate and be patient.

It dawned on me that I wasn't getting the most out of my V2 staff. As much as I like it and all the mods I've done to it, it doesn't have windows and even though I have Photon blades on it, Tri-green doesn't really react with Photonic material. Also as a V2, it's not compatible with MHS couplers such as the Quick Release.
My V2 is my spinning staff and although I bought it for dueling, I've added PVC parts to it and it makes me shy to duel with it.

With the May 4 sale extended, I pulled the trigger on an Apprentice v4 staff in Arctic Blue. Has Windows and perfect grooves for O-rings, the QR coupler will make for some fun dueling and the Photon blades will actually react to the blue light. Plus, it gives me the potential for 2 colors: AB with regular blades or Photon Green.

So now I'm waiting on two V4 stunt staffs: A Phantom Initiate in Tri-Red ordered 4/26 and an Apprentice in AB ordered 5/5

Order just got here, was a quick release connector, extra pommel and a mystery saber.

Mystery Saber ended up being an Aeon LE V4 stunt saber in......(Drum roll).....Consular Green lol
Looks good tho with the silver/gold.

So officially all 3 of my sabers are Consular Green, tho one of them was green by my choice.

Ordered a Phantom initiate V4 staff in Tri-Red on 4/26
Ordered an Apprentice V4 staff in Arctic blue on 5/5

Both will be replacing our V2 staffs when they arrive. Going to "rehome" the V2s. They were great first time sabers but I wish we had ordered the right colors to begin with.
Super excited to get our V4s.

Guys, take a deep breath and give it a solid 6 weeks before you freak, please.

Yup, we know it's frustrating.
Yup, we know it's worrisome.
Yup, we know the website lead time says 3 to 4 weeks.

We also know that COVID is affecting a lot of things. They can't build if they don't have the right parts.

The sabers WILL be awesome. And you WILL fall in love with them. Promise!
Patience, young Padawans! MTFBWY!

It's been well past 6 weeks and it was promised shipped within 1-2 business days over a week ago now(it didn't). I'm allowed to freak and be upset. I won't post more about it on here though.

Just to share my perspective since I started ordering sabers in Dec '19:
For me, it's the inconsistency and not knowing that makes the anxiety grow.

My first ever order took 5 weeks and by the 4th week, I had emailed them to see what was up. The waiting for this first order has by far been the worst because I had no idea about the bad timing I chose to place my first order with the movies, holidays, etc
But US got back to me within a week and had it shipped.

My next order took 2 months, and while that was way longer, the experience of the first made the wait much easier as I knew what to expect.
Still, 2 months is a long time for a 3-4 weeks advertised processing, so I emailed US and again they got back to me within a week
It turned out one of the sabers in that order was out of stock and they gave me alternate options.
Was very pleased with the outcome, despite the wait

My next 2 orders were for my son's Premium sound Fallen and a separate MB order. I got the MB in like, 10 days, so that was awesome.
Got the shipping notice for the Fallen right at the 3 week mark from the order date. So overall, very pleased that it looked like the orders were catching up.

However, I am still trying to keep my expectations for around 6 weeks, because you never know. It's better to set the expectation long and be happy it comes earlier, rather than expect a short wait and be disappointed.
The 2 orders I currently have processing (which coincidently will be the replacements for our first saber order) are about a week apart and the earliest doesn't reach the 3 week mark until this Sunday.

Having said that, I can already feel my anticipation growing. Even more so than our previous orders. We've learned a lot since our first saber order and that's why those are going to be "rehomed" as soon as our replacement staffs arrive.
So while having sabers to play around with after our first order made the wait far more bearable, knowing that these orders are full-on upgrade replacement to our original sabers and I'm itching to get those rehomed, is again making the wait difficult

TL;DR: Waiting blows, especially for your first ever sabers. Already having sabers helps, but sometimes a particular order garners so much excitement that it doesn't matter. The best advice is to distract yourself with other things for a while

@Tazflyr

For me the issue is less on the wait time and more on how the expectations are set.  If they say 3-4 weeks then that's what they should deliver on.  If COVID 19 is causing issues then put something up on the main page saying so.  If delivery of parts is causing delays then, again, put that up.  Businesses work on setting proper expectations for their clients and then adhering to those expectations.  As bad as waiting is, waiting longer than what you were told is much worse.

i hit four weeks right now waiting on an order i placed on the 13th. i am *not* going to wait 8 weeks. when i order something, especially with the reasonable expectation of a 3-4 week wait time, i expect it to be here in 3-4 weeks. What i don't understand is how people are getting their orders early. is this not a queue? should US not be making the orders in the order they received them?

i will be demanding a refund next week if it hasn't shipped

Today marks week 9.  Ordered 3/6/2020.  I’m wondering if something particular in the custom setup is making this one more difficult than others?

Hey I ordered my 2 custom sabers the same day you did. Did you receive the email from shopper approved? I waited for that email and emailed [email protected] and mentioned the Shoppers Approved email and I got my tracking confirmation the next day. Might help you get an ETA if you mention it only if you received an email from them.

That’s where I’m confused too, I’ve seen so many people getting their orders who ordered after (I also ordered the 13th), and it’s not like they’re all just stunt sabers there have been several complicated ones I’ve seen getting to people. Like I get that everything is a little crazy at the moment but it’s frustrating to see and when communication doesn’t seem to be that great either.

I did receive an email from ultrasabers / shopper approved. I emailed Eli and info@ultrasabers on May 6th concerning that email, but haven’t heard anything back yet.  I’ll give them til Friday.

I did send another email out, I'll drop an update when I have one.

Wonderful news!!! My order from March 5th has arrived as of yesterday! My Consular Green Dominix LE v5 and my free initiate (Dark Initiate v4 with Blazing Red and emitter windows!) are awesome!!! I'm so happy to finally be able to start my "lightsaber training" in earnest. I've already been going through tutorials on some of the moves from the movies and I've figured out how to do the elusive "snake" maneuver. I definitely wish I didn't have to wait almost 9 weeks, but all in all, it was so worth it! I'm already planning on what my next order is going to be, but in the mean-time, I've got techniques to learn!

Hi everyone..I'm new here and in the process of receiving my first order.  The order was for a diamond Spectre with engraving. This order was made on May 6th and I have received an email last night with a Fedex shipping number. But what is this about an email from shopper approved. I haven't received any from them.

I finally ordered the Dominicide I’ve been considering for months a couple days ago. I’m pretty excited but I’m more concerned about those who placed their orders months ago with nothing to hear from. My order history with Ultrasabers has been strange for sure. My first, (Aeon V2, Orange), was ordered in December of 2018 and took until February to finally arrive. Then last September I ordered my Consular in GB with sound. I had the shipping number within two days and I had my saber within a week.

If you've got your FedEx shipping number then your saber is on it's way, nothing to worry about there. I didn't receive an email from shopper approved either, but it doesn't seem to be anything vital to you recieving your sabers.

I placed my order on March 4th and it arrived just yesterday. I did get one email response, but when I responded to that email I did not receive a follow up. The team is very busy trying to get through what must be a massive backlog. That coupled with Covid... I'd say at this point an 8 week wait at the very least should be expected. I received my shipping information the day I was ready to send another email just to check in. Patience will win out the day. The wait definitely sucks, especially if it's your first saber order and you don't already have one to hold you over, but it was worth it to me.

I got the email this morning indicating my order is complete and is being shipped.  So ordered on 4/15 and shipped on 5/13.  So right at (or slightly past) the 4 week window listed on the website.  Now my stress shifts from "Is it going to get done?" to "They better not lose it in the mail!".

As to some questions about why other orders are getting completed right away and some are taking much longer, I had heard on a previous thread that it could be due the parts they have available on hand.  If so it might be a good idea to add a note saying that somewhere in the ordering process just so people can have proper expectations.  Either way I'm very excited to see that mine is on the way and can't wait to review it with y'all.

I got the email this morning indicating my order is complete and is being shipped.  So ordered on 4/15 and shipped on 5/13.  So right at (or slightly past) the 4 week window listed on the website.  Now my stress shifts from "Is it going to get done?" to "They better not lose it in the mail!".

As to some questions about why other orders are getting completed right away and some are taking much longer, I had heard on a previous thread that it could be due the parts they have available on hand.  If so it might be a good idea to add a note saying that somewhere in the ordering process just so people can have proper expectations.  Either way I'm very excited to see that mine is on the way and can't wait to review it with y'all.

That's great to hear! Always nice to see another order get fulfilled. And yes I think you're right, most of the sabers I've seen be completed recently have been much more complex, high - end sabers and almost always with premium sound or higher. It seems like they may be running low on the Apprentice/Initiate level parts and I know they were out of Lite Soundboards a few weeks ago, so if people chose to stick with the Lite Soundboard and not upgrade, they would probably be working on that backlog first and get out more all the diamond/complex orders out while they wait for new stock. Just speculating from what I've seen recently so this certainly isn't for sure, just food for thought!

Just out of curiousity Lonely, what was your order?

Well the PO just did the old "On Time/Arriving Late" trick. Thing is mail came already lol. So Im waiting on my 3rd and final Raffle Entry order ironically it was the first one placed. Not sure whats actually going to show up. There have been 2 different stock issues with this order. The hilt & soundboard.

That absolutely makes sense then.  While my order wasn't lower level overall (Azure Fallen), I did have the Lite Soudboard.  So maybe that was the one piece that was holding things up for me.

Well that's good to know that they have more Lite Soundboards in stock again! Enjoy your Fallen my friend! An Azure Fallen nonetheless, beautiful saber. What colour?

Both my processing orders are stunts and because I just had an April order ship out exactly at 3 weeks, I was hoping they were more caught up.
But alas, that was a Premium sound saber, so if the pattern is indicating Stunts are still backed up, I'd better strap myself in for a bit of a longer wait than expected.
Was hopping to get both orders by June, but I need to back off that expectation.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to stop obsessing over a saber order you're really excited about?

Thanks!  I really liked the reviews about it.  I got it in Arctic Blue.  It'll be my very first saber.  After that I might get a stunt in another color.  I was thinking maybe orange or yellow.  Any recommendations as to which saber would look good with that color blade?

what ive been doing was re-watching all the films, shows (even 2003 version of clone wars), trained in my yard with a single, dual, and staffed saber and training on transitioning between the latter two using two that have a quick release coupler on 'em, and watching Lightsaber Choreography Competitions starting from 2006 on along with working on my entry. think that should be plenty to do before your saber(s) arrives.

I don't necessarily have a hilt suggestion, but if you are going yellow or orange, I highly recommend Tri-Silver with color discs.
The yellow and orange (looks almost red) discs are actually the best 2, IMO. Reds, blues and purple is kinda hard to get with the discs as the look a bit washed out, but the yellow are orange are darn near identical to Fire Orange or Sentinel yellow.
So getting Tri-Silver with discs gets you at least 3 good color (yellow, orange and of course white)

My Son's Fallen is in this setup and we've even been able to get decent blues and greens, albeit using colored blades.

With everything that's been going on lately, we've already binged watched all the movies and tv shows. And I'd love to practice with my QR coupler, but it's in the order I'm waiting on. Hence the impatience.
I guess I'll keep practicing my double Obi-Ani and Wheel twirls

Title: Waiting on my first lightsaber
Post by: PilotTrevor97 on May 13, 2020, 11:09:32 PM
After wanting one since my childhood, I finally decided to order a custom lightsaber for myself on April 28th so I'm just over 2 weeks out.  I ordered a Initiate LE v5 with Flash on Clash and the Obsidian Lite soundboard.

I debated for a few days on whether to get the Obsidian or the Obsidian Lite, but its kinda going to be a display piece as well as something to mess around with so I decided on the Lite. Based on what you all have said, if i had known it was going to delay the process of getting the lightsaber, I honestly would have paid more for the Full Obsidian soundboard.  I emailed them asking if they had an estimated current lead time just to help with the impatience of just wanting to get my lightsaber and only got the auto-response. I guess there's nothing to do now but wait and see when it arrives though.

I also live literally an hour from their shop too so I was hoping that would speed up my order since shipping has to be way cheaper to go across a city instead of across the country haha

I had that exact same order Initiate LE V5 w/ Obsidian Lite its actually the one Im waiting on. But I was contacted once that the Obsidian Lite was out of stock so I upgraded to the Obsidian V4. Fast forward 2 weeks they contact me that the Initiate LE V5 hilt is "suddenly" out of stock. So I have no idea what is actually going to show up tomorrow.

I think you're probably right about them working more complicated orders right now. I ordered a diamond grand master on 4/29 and I got the shipping notice for it this morning. I ordered a mystery box just a day or two later, thinking it might get shipped quicker, but I haven't heard anything about it yet.

Oh there are tons of videos about US color discs. Pretty much all of them confirm reds and blues aren't that great. You end up having to choose between a wash out, Easter pastel using just 1 disc or a dim but well saturated color with 2-3 discs.
Yellow/Orange on the other hand, end up looking great.

I try to do videos myself every Friday, so you've given me my video idea of the week. I'll post it in the Gallery forum tomorrow and send you the link.

So my final of the 3 Raffle Entry orders showed up today. I ordered the Initiate LE V5 & a Mystery Box. I was contacted that the Initiate LE V5 hilt was out of stock so I asked for the Initiate V5 instead well I got both of them sort of lol. Plus I got a Initiate LE V4 as my MB. I really like the feel of that hilt.

Nice pulls. Even though the Initiate LE V5 may be out of stock, you might still be able to get the LE pommel by itself.
Having gold struts on the pommel should really set off the gold claws

Then you could take that solid silver pommel, put strips of Electrical tape in the spaces between the struts and use that on your MB Dark Initiate LE v4.

Just some thoughts

Looks like I'm supposed to be complaining here instead of in the thread where someone actually got a response from Ultrasabers.

My Dominicide died around 4/3, while I was updating fonts on the diamond board.  I've received 2 responses from them so far, asking me to try certain things.  I've emailed them back that those two things haven't resuscitated ... maybe it's my tone?   I try not to bombard them with emails... (the ones with back-to-back emails, I tried to add CC to the email)

Here's my Emails of Desperation +5 so far:

Hi Marlena,

Thanks for getting back to me. 

I've charged the batteries to full (showing 4.0V each) on my separate charger.  Put the batteries back in.  Connected the recharge port.  Launched UltraSabersLauncher, connected the usb cable to the Dominicide, then connected the usb cable to the computer.    Cable in at 8:24am.  (Computer didn't make the customary 'ding' of a USB  device being connected though, it usually does that when the saber's on)   It's 8:32am now, going to the diamond controller tab, the 'Run Diagnose" have stayed greyed out.

 

Closing everything and trying again at 8:35am, using a different USB port.  8:41am, same result, "Run Diagnose" has stayed greyed out.

 

Double checked USB port and cable with my Kindle, which shows up.

 

Tried one last time at 8:49am, this time with USB cable connected to the computer first, then the Dominicide (the way I had it with the kindle)

will give it 10 minutes   ok, still nothing. :(

 

Thanks in advance, hope everyone's staying safe in Texas... it's getting stircrazy here in CA.

Hello [My First Name],

 

I’m sorry to hear that this has happened to your saber. Even if the saber does not turn on, with fully charged batteries you should be able to get connected to the Diamond Controller. It may take a bit of time for the computer to read the board or it may seem like it is not connected.

 

Once you are able to get it connect you can run the Diagnostics and then restore factory settings and you should be good to go. If this does not work please let me know so we can get it in for inspection and repair. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

 

Thanks for choosing Ultrasabers. Feel free to email us here with any other questions or concerns.

Subject: HELP, please. Diamond board stopped responding, saber does not turn on.

 

Please Help,

I apologize in advance  for sending to all 3 known contacts.

 

I had my Ultrasaber Dominicide with Diamond board connected to my PC and uploading a new font, when it failed to turn back on.  Being off now, I am unable to reconnect it back to the computer to run diagnostics, as the Launcher no longer detects it.

It was plugged in via the Recharge Port.

 

I took the batteries out and tested them on my external charger, one battery was at 50%, 3.0V and the other was around 90%, 3.7V

After the batteries charged back to 4.2V each (8 minutes for one, 25 minutes for the other), I tried again.  No joy.

 

I swapped batteries with the working Dark Apprentice that also had a Diamond board with recharge port (I turned on the DA to check) and even with the battery swap, the Dominicide is not coming back on.

 

The original Dominicide batteries are now in the DA and the DA still works without problems.

 

Is there some way of factory resetting/rebooting the Diamond board to start over?

 

We’re under self-quarantine here in California (I was going to spend the time creating new soundfonts), so it’s not easy for me to get to the post office.

 

(In the meantime, I’ll stay out of the Dark Apprentice and not make any changes to that board)

 

Thanks in advance,

Those pommels are the exact same, actually, so you should be in business.
If you notice, none of their pommels are 'Initiate' or 'Apprentice', they're all Aeons, Dominix or Sentinels for the V3/4/5s.

Nice! I would have bought the Dark Initiate LE V5 if the colors had been exact opposite. I love silver with black accents, but they don't make that so i went with the Initiate LE V5 to get silver with gold accents.  I was never notified that the Obsidian Lite or the Initiate LE hilt being out of stock though. I'm hoping if they are, they are back in stock soon!

Is there anything in this setup that would make it take 10 weeks?(tomorrow).  Heck, I’d change the button colors if that would help:).  I just hope the grab bag that was supposed to come with it helps to make up for the wait...  I wonder what the record for waiting is?  I certainly don’t want that.

Possibly the Graflex hilt? I really think US needs to stop accepting orders. When the May 4th sale ends I really hope there isn’t another sale, they’ve been back to back for as long as I can remember. It’s nice to have good deals but it really isn’t a good business model to set when they keep taking money but aren’t sending out product. Especially with the reduced customer service.

I just recently got my first couple Sabers (just Monday in fact), but what I did to pass the time when I needed a lightsaber fix, was to play Blade and Sorcery with the The Other guys. Gives you some very interactive lightsabers to play with. You can swap out crystals for different colors, Anakin's/Darth Vader's lightsabers can change blade length like in the lore, and you can also have some fun with blasters too!

Nope.  I emailed Marlena and the general info account Tuesday about my order of blades, batteries, and a pommel (no sabers) and immediately received an auto-response.  I place the order on May 1 and I figured it would be a simple order with a quick ship, but 2 weeks later I'm still waiting.

Woohoo.

Finally getting 3 lightsabers (1 v5 initiate stunt + 2 MBs) tomorrow.

We ordered on the 17th of April and got the shipping confirmation on the 13th of May.

What's interesting is that our first order (v4 initiate LE + sound lite) is still processing and that was ordered on the 30th of March. Almost 8weeks!

Maybe a shortage of obsidian lite sound?

Good luck everyone with getting theirs. Gotta be patient for sure...

Yes they did. Im not sure if they still have a shortage on Obsidian Lite. I had 2 orders where I was contacted about that so I upgraded to Obsidian V4

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered my first saber a couple days ago.  From what I am gathering, it is going to be a long wait but it will hopefully be worth it.  I went with a Dominix LE V5 in Blazing Red with an Orange FOC and Obsidian V4 with a silver AV Switch.  I went with gold claws (which I will be flipping), changed the pommel to the Shock LE and requested a gold covertec wheel.  I think this saber is going to look awesome with gold accents and it is going to be a long wait...

Hopefully there won't be a sale immediately following this one. US has had back-to-back-to-back sales and promotions for as long as I've been buying from them.
If they are so behind, rather than stop take new order like some have suggested to get caught up, they could just chill with the sales for a month or so.
That would be the best compromise I think. They can still take orders, but without a sale going, it should dramatically slow the flow and allow them to be caught up and restocked for the next sale/promotion.

Anyone with long experience then me remember a time when US didn't have a sale running? Or is it always back-to-back?

I'd assume because you got the v4 sound, covertec, FOC, you'd get yours shipped in 5-6 weeks. Set your expectations low... You'll definitely get antsy and will want a status update so try to just wait and you'll get that FedEx email ;-)

US always has some sort of deal going on.  Sales, giveaways, raffles, flash sales, there is always something to pull in customers.  My guess is there will be a series of flash sales coming up.  Leading up to the Summer Giveaway.

Honestly it's only within the past year or two that sales became so common as o be back to back. They used to do May The 4th/Spring sale, something in the summer, and a Holiday sale. So we'd go months without a promotion.

i'm excited nonetheless, and it should arrive in the mail by the end of this week, as long as it doesn't get lost in the mail. will be posting photos in the thread for that kind of thing as soon as it arrives!

Alas, but this sale doesn't come with a discount or free shipping, so less people may jump on this one. Also, usually when they have a giveaway like this, it seems like they already have a big stock pile of the free sabers ready to go.

Which makes sense if they are still training the new hires that just came on since October. It gives them practice.

As much as I was hoping US was going to pump the breaks to get more caught up, reading between the line of this particular sale could still mean that.
And I actually think I'm going to use this sale to order the Crimson Scorpion I've been eyeing. I was going to wait for a Raffle, but that could be as late as August and I still might not win anything. This sale guarantees a free saber.

In my opinion, “working for the fanbase” would be getting us fans the sabers we ordered, some of us upwards of 2 months ago.

While I agree with those that suggust a sales, raffles, etc. pause, it is what it is. Those people who ordered 2 months ago are most def waiting for something that is out of stock. It could be the saber itself or a part for it. Patience is key. I have never known US to screw over anybody, intentionally. I have been a customer for 4 years going on 5.

As much as we want what we paid for,  patience is key.

Someone please send help, my wife's gonna kill me.
I ordered another saber even though I've got 2 other orders processing. I have an addiction.

But at least all 3 orders are replacing sabers I have and will be selling to recoup some money from and consolidate down to just a few specific purpose sabers.

The latest saber I ordered is an RGB Aeon V2. The 2 orders before that are for V4 staffs to replace all of our V2s, but since I like the V2 design and we also have a V3 and V5, our collection needed to have at least one V2.

I've wanted an RGB Aeon for months now. I settled on a non-US RGB saber a few months ago and while it's pretty awesome, it's not US awesome and I think the switches are kinda faulty. Each color works fine on its own, but when I add a second color there is a delay and flicker before the second color turns on, even with fresh batteries.
And so that saber will be going back where it came from.

Dude I’m in your boat too. I was browsing eBay and I found a Frankensaber someone upgraded with sound for only 225 bucks. I made an offer for 175 and they accepted it. I’m a little worried something might be wrong with it as 175 is extremely low for a sound saber but I have my hopes up.

I was going to wait to "rehome" each saber until it's replacement arrived, but I've spent too much and I need to accelerate my plans so that the misses doesn't get to upset when she finds out.
I'm still going to have to wait for my V4 staff to show because I need the blades it's coming with to include with my V2s (which currently have my Photon blades that I will be keeping)
But my son's V2 staff and my RGB need to get moving

I was thinking it was most likely the lower end hilts, Aeons and Dominixes, that were sold out but if it’s high end hilts too they are obviously struggling. I really hope things work out, it’s kind of ridiculous to have to wait 3 months when the posted lead time is 1.

As much as I love Ultrasabers and all the great deals and efforts they've been making, this right here is something I have a really hard time getting over.
Waiting sucks, but at least give use the proper expectation. I don't think lead times have been 3-4 weeks consistently enough over the last 5 months for that to be the advertised leadtime.
6-8 weeks seems far more accurate and is still better than the other guys, so why not list that as the lead time.
It wouldn't change how fast they get the sabers out, but it would set the right expectation and prevent a ton of people getting super mad.

But at any rate, I'm hoping I'll be getting a slow trickle of incoming orders soon. I'm waiting on 3 separate orders each over a week apart. So hopefully the first will come in by the end of the month

Agreed.  Also a huge UltraSabers fan, and I think it would be just good business practice to adjust the lead times to reflect actual wait.  I ordered my first saber January 15th, and back then lead time still said 3-4 weeks, which I knew wasn't realistic.  But still I ordered and waited 10 weeks until I emailed repeatedly looking for my order.  After my emails it shipped in "1-2 business days", which was either because of my inquiries or just coincidence.  

I've had 9 orders placed going back to APRIL 4th. 3 of which I have received already, including two of the most recent orders, so they're not even fulfilling orders chronologically.  So I'm waiting on 6 orders that could show up whenever, the oldest already being 6 weeks back.

Also, I still haven't received my Emerald Prize order confirmation, while others have already received their prizes in hand.

Anyway, as an unofficial spokesperson, I'd find it less overwhelming to reassure new customers that their orders WILL EVENTUALLY ARRIVE, and to just be patient if the lead times were accurate, or better yet, pessimistically overestimated to 8-10 weeks.  If your saber ships before that, it just looks better rather than worse for the company.

Yup.  I just ordered a Graflex CE yesterday.  I don't like that they're SECRETLY out of stock, telling others to wait, yet letting me order one.  I would have held off on that one and just ordered another from my wishlist.  If it's out of stock, why isn't that listed on their website?  While I'm still a big fan, that IS aggravating...

Well, it's entirely possible that by the time they get to your order, it will no longer be out of stock.
They seem so backed up on some kinds of orders, that the Out of Stock listings are never accurate (so honestly why do they bother?)
I ordered a Dark Apprentice v5 back in January and didn't hear anything about it until March, when they gave me other hilt options to substitute.  Yet I've seen member on this forum order that same hilt in February onwards that actually got that hilt.

What could be happening is that a 'batch' of the hilts is being made, so they don't list it as Out of Stock, but when then get to a certain order that includes that hilt but the 'batch' isn't ready is when they reach out with alternate options.

Alternately, updating Out of Stock listings may not be anywhere near their priority right now (which is annoying)
I mean, the Initiate V3s have been Out of Stock since December.
That doesn't make sense for a hilt to be out for that long, unless one of 3 things is happening:
A) It's not a popular hilt so they haven't restocked
B) It's such a popular hilt that when it gets restocked, it immediately sells out again or
C) US just isn't updating their website accurately

Given our previous comments about Lead-times, it's probably C.

See what I mean. I ordered mine in Jan, you ordered yours in Feb, but by late March they were suddenly out of stock for my order but by April they were back in stock.
Makes me worried that any day now I could get an email that any of the 3 orders I have processing could ho out of stock even though they weren't at the time I ordered them.

That's good news. I'm just past 3 weeks on a staff order, which is basically 2 stunt sabers. The only upgrades are Tri-Red and Li ion battery setup.
I'm at 2 weeks+ for another staff that's just AB standard setup.

So hopefully the stunt saber queue is getting caught up

I just got a notification of completion at the third week mark.  My order was an empty hilt and a GB, so miscellaneous orders are taking about as long as custom saber orders -- or coincidentally, about the same time frame as yours.

I just got a notification of completion at the third week mark.  My order was an empty hilt and a GB, so miscellaneous orders are taking about as long as custom saber orders -- or coincidentally, about the same time frame as yours.
Mind me asking which hilt?  I'm waiting on empty Lost Gray and Consular and some basic blades.  It'll be 6 weeks this Friday.

Same here. Constantly checking the forum and watching saber videos actually seems to make the waiting worse as it's a constant reminder.
But I've got a medieval-style hood coming in for my Jedi costume and I'm making slight modifications to it to give more of an Assassin's Creed/Temple Guard vibe to my look.
Once I'm done, I'll make a video showing it off and giving some character background.
But before then, I've got TCSS blade parts coming hopefully Friday. I'm going to do a video showing how to assemble (cleaning the inside/ gluing the tip) and insert cellophane as diffusion film.

That should keep me occupied until next week. My oldest order will be at 4 weeks by then so hopefully they start rolling in.

Oh, and my oldest son finally wants to plug his V4 sound saber up and play with the software. So we'll be doing that on Friday too

Im at 2 weeks on just a replacement blade since they sent the wrong size on my Archon 3.1 so its super top heavy, plus a Tri-Cre Consular Green MLS Module, 24" Initiate HG Blade & a Aeon LE V5 Pommel since they sent me the wrong one. Debating another Order  :-\

if shipping goes as planned, tomorrow my initiate v2 FO will be in my hands. my first saber. a month and a half after i put in the order.

for me, this means getting back into stuntwork, honing in on MMA stickwork training from when i was younger.

it may or may not also mean i start working on my twin customs i've been thinking about for over a month... pray for my wallet :P

Good news everyone, I’ve received a shipment notification and tracking number for the Graflex!  Not sure what is going on with the email about the out of stock status, but perhaps they found one after all.  I’m looking forward to finally getting it after a long wait.  Maybe I’ll figure out how to post some pics.

I mean I get that but the fact that they continually release new sales that brings more buisinees is kinda concerning considering they can’t keep up with the business they have already I read three pages back and it seems that shipments are out of order and some people are having no trouble while others have waited months it’s bad for business imo and reflects badly on US

I ordered empty hilts as a quarantine project.  I figured empty hilts would come faster.  It isn't customization backlog when empty hilts take this long.  They're just pre-selling parts that are on order and their time estimates aren't realistic.

I have 2 orders for 2 empty hilts each.  One is at 6 weeks and the other is now at 4 weeks.  The pile of electronic parts on my desk waiting to be installed in something is mocking me.

Day 36 here. Waiting for a Lost Gray with Diamond controller, a MB with sound, a free initiate from the May 4th sale and a Grab Bag saber from the raffle. No word back on the email I sent last Saturday. My order was placed the evening of April 15. Still processing. I wonder if there is a stock issue with the ultraedge heavy blades. Fingers crossed daily to get SOME kind of response. This is also my first US order. May patience and the force be with all of us still waiting.

Seriously? Waiting since 4 weeks and now received this mail  when i asked for my command :
Thank you for your order with Ultrasabers.  I regret to inform you that we are suddenly out of stock on the Lost Gray hilts. We won’t be able to have these back in stock for 8 – 10 weeks.  In an effort to get this order fabricated and shipped out for you as quickly as possible, please let me know which of these options works best for you and we will get that going:

 

We can change to a similarly priced hilt.  Let us know which hilt you’d like to change to, we’ll confirm the availability, and get your order shipped ASAP.
 

We can hold this order until we have the Lost Gray hilts back in stock in 8 – 10 weeks

Very disapointed by ultrasaber  >:( it s not a professional attitude.

With a nice coupon and a remaining credit of the canceled last order I have ordered some new stunts to work with. Will see how long it takes this time (last time 13 weeks). Luckily I have no time pressure with this order.

As a side note, since my last order at the end of January the order number has increased by over 55,000 numbers. This should be around 500 orders per day on average.


@Daigoro76: Had the same issue with my first order. After two months I got a mail, one of my ordered hilts would be out of stock. Funnily enough, the hilt in the shop was never listed out of stock.
Looks like US is using a most inaccurate ERP system. Hmm... maybe I should send them a brochure of our software... ;)

Alright, so I've worked out a game plan. I've got 3 pending orders placed the following dates:
4/26 - Phantom initiate v4 staff in Tri-Red
5/5 - Apprentice V4 staff in AB w/ QR coupler
5/18 - Aeon v2 RGB

Since my first 2 orders are so close together, I'm going to wait until June 1st to email about them. By that date, my first order with be over 1 month (5 weeks) and my second order will be almost at 4 weeks.

I think that's a fair amount of time to ask about them, and while I'm at it, I may ask if they can be shipped together since they were only a week apart anyway.
Here's hoping the first order gets shipped before then, but if not, I've got a plan to minimize the emails I'll send.

Oof.  That's not good to hear.  Lost Gray is one I'm waiting on (6 weeks so far).  I haven't received that email yet so maybe I'm on the tail end of the next batch produced... or US isn't very good at informing customers.

Man I'm starting to get nervous that a hilt I ordered my be Out of Stock.
For either the Dark Initiate V4 staff or the Apprentice V4 staff I ordered I can't think of any other hilts I'd be happy with substituting for, except maybe the non-Dark Initiate and a Dark Apprentice respectively. But for our purposes, they have to be the smaller V4s.
Hopefully they've got plenty of what I ordered since those seem to be really common hilts, so presumably they'd have a good stock pile of those.

I need to stop reading all the bad reviews on their FB page and the BBB. I need to keep in mind that the dissatisfied customers are always the loudest and I'm sure for every bad experience, there's 10x as many good ones that you don't hear about.
US hasn't let me down yet, but the perfect storm of the past few months has really been a poor time to get hooked on sabers.

Yes, it’s really a thing. Basic electronic parts come from China most of the time.  Shipping ANYTHING from China to the US (and probably other places, too) right now is chock-full of delays, so shortages of anything made in China are VERY MUCH a thing.

Hey that's the way to do it anyway. Make sure you get a thick walled photon blade. Even single blue through a thin walled photon blade will give a slight cyan core, but it WILL be brighter than Tri-green.
So a thick walled photon blade with Tri-Blue is more light passing through more polycarbonate. Prepare to have your retinas burnt out my friend.

Yeah I had to go with thick walled as its for my Archon and you have to use a thick walled due to the thin neck and blade retention. Yes Im excited about that for my Luke ROTJ

I find it odd that all the "special" Dominicides have been out of stock since at least December (maybe earlier but that's when I started getting ultrasabers). Same with the Initiate v3s.
We know from member reports that other hilts have also gone out of stock and been restocked.

So why are Dominicides and Initiate V3s not getting restocked like others?

I know the Aeon LE V5 was out of stock for a couple of weeks (but never labeled so on the shop). This delayed my order.
The Fallen was marked as out of stock too, when I was waiting of my order. But it was available again in time.

So why are Dominicides and Initiate V3s not getting restocked like others?
For the Initiate V3s, Erin from US send me a mail, the Phantom Initiate V3 (and I believe it counts for the other V3s too) should be back on stock in 6-14 weeks from now.

I ordered an apprentice staff on the 27th of April and they just sent me that it should be here by Tuesday the 28th of may
That's both encouraging and disheartening for me.
Encouraging because my Apprentice staff was ordered 5/5, so just a week after yours.
Disheartening because my Phantom initiate staff was ordered 4/26, so if yours was after mine but is complete it might mean something is delaying my order.

We'll see I guess. I'm gonna keep to my plan of waiting until both orders are at 4 weeks before emailing them.
That way it will be more than a status email but also a request to have them shipped together

I ordered 2 $75 mystery box sabers. I've been itching to have a saber for years. But with my soon to be 10 y/o son asking for duels regularly with our "toy" sabers, I decided to take the plunge on getting some true sabers with HG blades as a surprise. If they come by June 15th, he'll get to open the box and pick his birthday present. I'm not sure what is worse...waiting for the shipping notification or knowing that if they ship soon, I won't be able to open them for a few week.

Keep the faith, friend. If you ordered them, they will come. lol.

WooHoo! Just got my shipping confirmation on my 5/5 order.
"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one"

Still processing on my 4/26 order, which is odd because they are both stunt staffs. They only major difference was the older order has Liion batteries.

Did anyone else get the customer service issue email?
It seems an error made by a "former" lead CSR caused them to not get any emails from before 5/25.
So if you emailed them in the past month with no reply, that's why.

Did anyone else get an email this morning from US about their lack of customer support recently?  I just resent my email so hopefully they will be actually responding this time since they didn't last time I emailed 2-3 weeks ago.

"We have been faced with many, many challenges over the past several months.  And we have overcome them all and are still here working 7 days a week & 24 hours a day fabricating and shipping out your favorite custom sabers.  We are now faced with yet another challenge.  Due to an error by our former lead customer service representative we have lost access to all our emails sent to us prior to 05/25/2020.  This means we cannot read or reply to any emails sent before today.

If you have an outstanding customer service issue and have yet to get a reply please email us at [email protected] and we will reply and get you taken care of asap.  If you haven't gotten a reply yet then that email has been deleted from the server.  Please resend the email to [email protected] and we will reply and get you taken care of."

I went ahead and cracked off an email of my own to see if I can get whatever is available shipped out as my first order and just have the second orders shipment hold for whatever is holding up the works. I'm waiting on 4 empty hilts and 5 blades across 2 orders places on 4/10 and 4/23.  They would probably even save some shipping costs by putting all of the blades in one shipment.

Hello everyone! I just recently purchased my first saber and can't wait to get it! I've been checking my email and reading the forums hourly. I ordered my saber on 5/14, so I'm only a little over a week. I'm just curious to see how long everyone else been waiting for and what you ordered?

I've ordered several sabers since December and the wait times seem fairly random.
Waited 5 weeks for my first order for stunt sabers
Waited 2 months for the next which included a Lite sound saber
Got a Mystery box in 10 days
Had a Premium sound saber ship exactly at 3 weeks.

Today I got an order complete notice from an order I placed 5/5 for another stunt staff, so less than 3 weeks on that.
Yet I have an order order for a similar stunt staff that is still processing from 4/26, so that will be over a month old soon.

It really feels random, but there's loads of factors that could be going on. Particular LED colors could be out, battery packs could be running short, a specific hilt may be out, etc.
I think if something will cause a significant delay, they'll let you know when they get to your order.

First post and purchase here. Wanted to take advantage of the current promo so I placed an order for a Fallen LE w/ Violet Blade & Obsidian Lite sound on 5/21. Sounds like it’ll be anywhere from 3-8 weeks before I get an update. Fortunately I’ve got plenty to keep my mind off the varied wait times but I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread.

[Diamond Sound: Diamond Sound]
[Switch Type: White Illuminated Silver AV Switch]
[Choose Blade Tip Type: Round Tip]
[Top Button Color: Gold (in pictures)]
[Fulcrum Activation Box Type: Classic Silver]

Got all the extra little bells but didnt get the big whistle on the recharge port.

A few days later I was given a birthday gift of choosing another saber and I bought this,

But I was unaware that Lite setup is NOT recommended for the Dominicide until after my purchase (literally like 10 mins after I ordered I watched the intro video where it says lite setup isnt recommended).
Submitted my emails for the change, Then the email came this morning and I resubmitted my changes. I hope I can get the upgrade handled, Trying to get it upgraded to the Obsidian premium with li-on / Buckpuck.
Keeping my fingers crossed!

Indeed. The wait is hard and it seems impossible to predict when you'll get your order, but sooner or later it will come.
I think a 4-6 week expectation is fair, but I also wouldn't worry too much until you get to 2 months. After 2 months, it's most likely their is a part on order or something holding it up, so sending a status email is good around then

First two sabers. Apprentice LEv5 with premium sound arctic blue blade silver FOC for the Fiance's birthday and a Mystery box for myself. Ordered 5/4 and 5/6 respectively. Spoke with Aria the past two days after hearing nothing from anyone in over a week. It was a nice feeling to have a reply to my emails. Made me feel a little better about my order. Here is what she said about lead time right now.

"Thank you for your payment. I have updated the printed order to reflect the change to Artic Blue Flash Silver and 32” Blade length. It currently takes about 4 weeks, we have had delays due to limiting staff at the workshop and machine shop. The delays are mostly coming due to the limited staff at the machine shop, they are working as fast as they can to machine and anodize the hilts, so there could be a slight delay. We will email you the tracking # as soon as this order gets labeled to ship out."

Nice, thanks for sharing that info regarding lead times. That puts my order around Father’s Day, which works out perfectly for me haha No better way to spend Father’s Day than taking full swings at one another w/ light sabers

So, maybe a fools move, maybe not, but I figured I'd give US another chance while they (hopefully) have my Dominicide in for repair (I emailed info@  but haven't heard back yet)

so add me back to impatiently waiting: a mystery box, a pike extension, and a quick connect pommel.

oh, and hopefully getting the Dom back without further drama.

I posted elsewhere, but the TLDR: there's very little user-protection in the Diamond Launcher application... so I really screwed something up when I was trying to make an Imperial March themed soundfont... it crashed while uploading (to test the font) and won't turn on... tried a bunch of stuff, no go.   This wasn't my first font either, but I was being overly ambitious.  (I think I posted details in the Diamond Board subforum)

Hi everyone! I know US is extremely backed up right now and with the email issue I am weary to ask for an update on my order because I am sure they are swamped and I don't want to make it harder on them. I am a first time US customer and placed my order April 21st. The order currently says "processing" and I was wondering what other status updates there are under the "my orders tab" (like building, shipped etc) I am mainly just curious on how the ordering process works.
Thanks!

Title: Re: Order Status
Post by: Sakura No Kaze on May 28, 2020, 04:42:48 PM
Technically there are two other statuses possible, Cancelled and Received.

Cancelled orders are just that, ones that have been cancelled. I'm not sure how long they remain in the system to be visible to you.
Received orders are orders that have been received but have not had a work order printed for them. Orders normally have this status for a very short period of time, 5-10 minutes maximum usually.

Processing means your order has had a work order printed for it and is somewhere between "in line to be built" and "at the last step before shipping" which includes actual fabrication/assembly and Quality Assurance.
Complete means the order has been completed and is headed to/now in the shipping department. Once the order is shipped, you'll receive an email with the package tracking number (or at least they used to do this). There is no "Shipped" status, the last one you'll see is Complete.

But to actually see either of the first two is pretty rare (unless you've cancelled an order). I'd guesstimate that about 99% of the time you'll see either Processing or Complete.

Hi everyone! I know US is extremely backed up right now and with the email issue I am weary to ask for an update on my order because I am sure they are swamped and I don't want to make it harder on them.

As a forum member who is tired of seeing people complaining about the wait time (although I will admit that some of the complaints are justified), I greatly appreciate the above, and I'm sure US does as well.

Well done, no need to send them another needless email.  Also keep in mind, a habit of most noobs is to ask others when their order was placed/completed/shipped/received in an effort to determine when their own order will be completed/shipped/received based on a similar order date.  One person's order is in NO WAY WHATSOEVER related to anyone else's (or even their own) order processing times.  I have several orders placed over the last two months, and they are trickling in to me once in a while, in no particular order.  Actually, the LAST two orders I placed at one point were completed/shipped/received AT MY DOOR in 9 days from the point I placed the order.  The OLDEST one is due here tomorrow, almost two full months after placing the order... although that order was delayed due to my Emerald Raffle prize being included.  A few in between have shipped, and a few in between those are still processing.  There is NO rhyme or reason to the processing times of orders.  The best thing to do is place your order and forget about it, and one day you'll get another happy email.

Also, WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!

I think that's the main thing. I get the delay and surge in emails, but US has been behind on emails for weeks regardless of the reasons. I also find the whole "our emails were all deleted" a little too close to "the dog ate my homework". I don't mean to criticize but as a first-time buyer it's not a great experience with their customer service when calls aren't being returned and emails aren't being answered but purchases are still being processed.

Exactly. I'm sure the product is great and I'm excited to get my order. I totally understand delays in production and I'm fine with that, I'm not ok with having to email a company at least 5 different times in two weeks because no messages are getting answered, and it's a little scary when it's a common complaint I've seen. US has little to no social media presence either which is weird for a company and their CS response has been lackluster, and that's me being kind. Even the old automated response email is gone now so I just feel like I'm speaking to a void.


Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
Post by: Cyclops942 on May 29, 2020, 01:27:02 AM
Folks, all I can recommend is to be patient.  The email said they lost access to all emails sent to them prior to 25-MAY.  ALL emails sent to them.  ALL.  I don’t know enough about email servers to speculate on what could have happened, and as I’ve stated elsewhere on the forum, I believe that speculation, especially with as few fact as we have, is not helpful.  But just stop and think for a moment if you had lost ALL your incoming emails to your personal account prior to Monday of this week.  I don’t know about you, but for me, that would be a devastating loss.  I work (even in my personal life) based on emails.  I schedule my life based on emails.  I plan for both the immediate and distant future based on information I receive by email.  Now, put that into the context of a business, and things get even worse!

I know it’s frustrating to not hear back; I’m in the same boat.  I want to upgrade a Frankensaber I got from them back in November to have a Diamond controller and a few other extras, as well as take advantage of the current sale, so it would be really nice to hear back sooner rather than later with answers to my questions.

I sympathize with all of you/us, both the new customers and the more-experienced ones.  For those of us with longer-term experience with UltraSabers, this kind of delay is practically unheard of, and for those new to UltraSabers, it’s probably pretty disheartening, and it’s understandable if you are starting to feel a little (or maybe not-so-little) bubble of fear that you’ve been taken in by fraudsters. 

I have full faith that UltraSabers will fulfill every order, and that they will respond to every inquiry.  I don’t know when, but the email said they are still working 24x7 to process orders, so I have to assume that, as parts become available (because remember, we still have massive shipping delays for anything coming from overseas, and especially for things coming from China), sabers will get built, reviewed for quality, packed, and shipped.  Based on the fact that all customer service request emails are now being directed to a single inbox, I am ASSUMING that they are changing other things about the customer service process, too, and that this backlog will also begin to shrink.

Like I said, I know you’re frustrated, and I know you’re impatient, and I’m not saying you have no right to feel that way.  I am asking that you remember that we here on this forum are customers, just like you are, and we are as excited and as eager to get your orders processed as you are to have yours processed.  Try to keep things as positive as you can, please, even while you’re justifiably expressing your impatience.  We all get it, because we are all in the same boat; WE WANT OUR SABERS!  Asking honest questions and looking for answers is great; for some things, we can actually provide answers, but getting overly negative here on the board is not helpful to anyone.  Just please remember that we’re all fellow customers, and let’s try to continue to treat each other gently.

I just got my order from 5/5. Apprentice V4 staff.
They didn't include the QR coupler I ordered with it, but they did make the sabers with AV switches, so that's a bonus.

I was going to wait longer before emailing them about my still processing order from 4/26, but since I needed to address my missing QR coupler issue, I went ahead and sent one.
If I don't hear anything back before Monday, I'll send it again.
Hopefully they can include the QR coupler with my 4/26 order and not forget that order includes an Adjustable coupler.

I'm not sure what the logic is for how they are completing orders, but my 5/5 order was a simple stunt staff and the order wasn't 100% correct (got the wrong coupler).
I have another stunt staff still processing from 4/26 and the only major difference (besides hilt and color) was the battery setup.

It seems that the shortage of particular parts and differing complexity of orders has made predicting when you'll get your order based of other order pretty much futile.
But US had yet to truly disappoint me, so I have faith they'll get my issue fixed and everyone will get their sabers

UPDATE: I emailed them about my missing QR coupler and status on my Phantom initiate V4 staff ordered 4/26.
Not only did they respond in less than 2 HOURS with an apology but also an explanation on the delay on the older order.
The regular Dark Initiate V4s have to be machined and they have limited access to the machine due to social distancing in their shop.
The rep offered to upgrade them to the LE versions (which are apparently available now) and get that order plus my QR coupler shipped sometime next week

Awesome. Just awesome. I've had (very minor) issues with about half the orders I've ever made with US but they ALWAYS make it right.

Its officially been a month since my order on 4/28.  None of my emails have been answered, even after the "email purge" that I got a promotional/automatic email about on the 25th and they have never answered the phone.  I thought I was doing okay but this is my first lightsaber which is making me super impatient haha
I also live literally an hour from their shop so i was hoping that theyd go faster since its gonna cost less to ship it to me.  Hell, I will drive across the city to pick it up if it means its going to be done sooner

Here it goes, this is my story. on May 14the I created an order $500 worth, then on May 15th ordered again $450 worth . I then, being new to ultrasabers did not realize I could achieve all I wanted by getting the diamond controller. So I immediatly emailed them asking them to cancel my orders and give me a credit so I could create a new one. I heard nothing back until the May 25th email came out, I immediately forwarded them all my emails telling them to cancel my orders. I heard nothing from them, and I know I was one of the 1st to reply to their email, it was literally 15 minuted after they sent it out.  That afternoon they sent me an email saying my 1st order was complete. Record time huh? I then sent them another email begging them not to ship it. Well a label was created and usps pick it up, will be here tomorrow. I will be sending that back to them with a copy of all my emails. I have emailed them every day since asking them not to ship the 2nd order. Guess what? They just sent me a completed email. Tomorrow I will get the same label created and then it will ship. I will then return it as well. If they want to pay for shipping and I pay to ship it back just so I can try and get what I really want then so be it. I seems like a lot to go through just to get it right but what ever. I guess I will eventually get what I want. Just jumping through hoops with no communication.

There has to be something else going on for this kind of lapse in order fulfillment. Losing emails would only be one thing. They still have an Order tracker (presumably) so there would be no excuse for not communicating on the status of each order on a consistent basis.

As for the order fulfillment itself, my guess is that they are shipping out orders based on parts they have from stock. They have always said that majority of their parts are US sourced but that is hard to believe since they have been backed up for over a year. Supply chains would not be that bad without there being a core problem with the business itself.

To make everything worse, they keep running promotions. If they cannot handle the first promotion do NOT run 2-3 more! Manage your production line first. Customer service should be the focus here but instead it is surprisingly bad. Even IF the emails were lost, this forum is still active. All they have to do is communicate what is going on and many will understand. I'm glad they at least sent out the email saying they had a problem with the customer service people or person but that was only recently. What about all of last year? The practice still hasn't changed...

I finally got a response about my order (4/13) on the 26th to find out the dominix le v5 hilts were out of stock and would be for 1-2 weeks. I inquired if a few other hilts were in stock because they offered to swap my hilt but then I never got a response back 😤

I ordered a Graflex with a blue blade on May 6th and it still says "Processing" as well.  I figured that with limited staff and the massive amount of orders they must have received from the MTFBWY sale, that it was going to take a while.  But it's my first saber and I can't help to click 'refresh' at least 2-3 times a day. 

I mostly came here on the forums just to see if anyone else was waiting like me.

Has anybody had any experience with shipping multiple orders together? I ordered my Dominicide on 5/10 and then a single blade on 5/18. On 5/27, just a couple days ago, I sent an email to customer service inquiring if they could ship both orders together. I never received a reply to that email. Today I received the tracking information for the blade order, but nothing for the lightsaber. Is there a chance my Dominicide will be in the box when it arrives? Maybe they just sent the tracking info for the more recent order if it’s all in one box.

I finally got a follow up response about if the dark sentinel le v5, dark initiate v5, or dark initiate le v5 were available to swap my Dominix le v5 to and the answers was none of them (so heads up if y’all ordered any of those hilts recently)

The offered the Aeon v5 (in silver) as my replacement but I’m set on a black hilt so I guess I’m just gonna continue playing the waiting game. If I get my saber by my birthday (7/1) that’d be great

I guess I’m just annoyed that none of these hilts are up to date on their availability, like I get that they’re busy but this is definitely a thing that they could automate so no one would have to go do so manually

First Purchase here, not sure what to expect. Any help would be appreciated. Spent quite a bit so I was able to also get a free Initiate. So in all I have 3 sabers coming. I haven't heard back from them yet so if anyone has any information about what to expect or how this process works, it would be appreciated. My order still says "Processing". Not sure what that means exactly.

Anyway, on to what I ordered. I decided if I am going to do this, I might as well do this right and get exactly what I want and to heck with the expenses. So I got 2 sabers for myself and made sure to get a free initiate incase my Son wants one to play with. Let's be honest, he will. I am not sure what I am doing here so I figured I would go all out and get the most flexible versions of what I want. I will need to figure out how to change the diamond settings eventually but it is something I am willing to learn.

Saber Number One:
I originally wanted a black hilt with a yellow blade. Then I saw Rise of Skywalker and saw that one was like that in the movie and it pushed me away from that. Instead I went for something a bit different. As I was building I saw that there was a pink color but it wasn't a normal pink. I thought it would look nice with the black hilt.

[Include MICRO USB Cable: Yes]
[Include Covertec Clip: No Thanks]
[Install Covertec Wheel: No Thanks]

Saber Number Two:
This saber I wanted to do a bit more of a traditional light side feel. I figured that the Guardian Blue was a nice touch. I assume that the silver flash would look nice with it as well. I also decided to make the blade a bit shorter. It reminds me of the difference between a Nodachi and a Tachi when it comes to Katana. So I thought one standard size and one shorter would look nice when on display.

Currently at 4 weeks for my order. We (my boyfriend and I) ordered it May 3rd. We ordered two lite sound sabers, a staff (no sound), two additional MLS pieces, plus a free initiate and other extras. I think the lite sound boards are what is holding ours up and possibly the MLS pieces.

We just keep checking the forum while we wait to get it shipped. Still so excited though!

Damn, now I’m a little concerned. My order consists of a MLS, lite sound, and of course the free initiate. This is all for a Fallen LE. Sounds like US will get to it eventually though based on all the responses. It’s just going to potentially take longer than the current estimated 3-4 weeks.

I got an email back and they said the following:

Thank you for your order with Ultrasabers.  At Ultrasabers we typically are able to get all of our orders shipped out with 1-3 business days, however with the current world events we have faced many delays and stock issues due to limiting staff to ensure distancing both at the workshop and machine shop to keep everyone healthy and safe.  And due to this unprecedented event we have a lead time of an estimated  4 weeks.  I apologize for any inconvenience with the delay and we will do our best to get this order shipped out for you as quickly as we possibly can.  We will email you the tracking # as soon as this order ships out.

So I guess little over a month? From the way you guys are talking, it's a few months it seems.

It really depends on what you order.

For example, I ordered an Apprentice V4 staff in Arctic blue, stunt only, 5/5 and it shipped right at 3 weeks.
But I also ordered a Phantom initiate V4 staff in Tri-Red, again stunt only, on 4/26 and it should be here later today.
I had emailed them about the status at 5 weeks and the delay was due to the hilt being out and them having limited access to the machine shop to produce more.
They offered to upgrade me to the LE version and completed the order literally the next day.

I'm really not sure why I keep hearing about people not getting email responses. I've sent several emails about different issues since December and have never waited more than 3 days for a response.
I wonder to emails from different sources get sorted weird? My email is a Yahoo email.
I really cannot be just that they are overwhelmed or that I'm just lucky. There has to be something else causing emails to not get answered

Like you said Galef, I think it really does depend on what you order. This is all speculation of course as I don't work for US nor do I know anyone personally who does, but from what I've gathered by following the forum quite closely over the last few weeks, I wouldn't think they would answer people saying they'll get their order shipped out ASAP if they knew that they didn't have a part that was required to fulfill their order (or an appropriate substitute ie. for hilt stock issues). More often than not, someone will post that they got an email reply similar to what Treva posted earlier today and then within a week (give or take) they have their order completed. I don't mean to give any false hope to people that have gotten responses recently, as again this is just speculation and I have just as much information as everyone else on here, but as a business it wouldn't be wise to tell someone that they'll get them their order ASAP if they knew they didn't have the stock to make that happen. I would have to guess that when they get emails asking about orders, they look at what is required to complete their order and then respond (or not) appropriately. It's the same reason that we saw some people get their orders completed and shipped within a week early in May, and others have been waiting for weeks. They work on the orders that they can given the stock they have. It may not be the best system, but these are crazy times and they are doing their best with the cards they've been dealt. I'm sure the whole staff at US would much rather have full stock on all required parts as it would make their lives a whole lot easier too. But I truly believe they're doing their best given everything that's going on and as hard as it can be to be patient (I understand as I'm also currently waiting on an order) we will all get our orders and the pure joy of unboxing and using our sabers will be worth it in the end.

I emailed from a different address to see if that would be any difference in a response and still nothing. Been waiting a week now since my first email after the great email purge.

The sad thing is I'm just reaching out to make a change to my order. I'm not bothered by the processing time, but at this rate I have a feeling my apprentice v4 is gonna ship before I get a reply to the email about the order tweak :(

we used to send to a specific CSR, but currently the info@ is the only place we're supposed to mail.

Give it a try, but change the subject line to something like "Help! Electrum Wind does not work"

alternatively, if you haven't already, post in the appropriate (for the sound/light board) subforum and maybe someone here can help figure out what's faulty... at least while you wait for an official response.

FWIW, back in January when I ordered, instead of responding to the "Your Order from [some date]" email, I changed the subject line to something like "Help, need to make a change to my order" from my original email address and received a response... they were able to magically connect my email address to the order (well, I only had one order at the time, at a time) so their response put my order # back onto the subject line.

I was able to go back-and-forth with them on that one issue with one that email thread successfully (changed an accessory to an emitter)


Later, when the dominicide died, I didn't get a response until I changed the subject line once more, as replying to the old thread just went into a black hole...

tldr: if you haven't tried yet, try changing the subject line

Not sure if that works, but it matches my experience. Every time I've emailed them with an issue, it was a "fresh" email, not just a reply to an automated one.
The only times I've replied directly to an email was when a specific associate was answering one of my emails.

That's helpful, and actually what I did, big bold letters. "ORDER CHANGE #####". Working in CS that typically grabs our attention to help prioritize those which is why I'm baffled. If the order ships before I make the change it's not a huge deal, it'll just be a slight bummer in the experience.

Idk. I start a new email and include in the subject my order number. I haven’t received any responses. Ordered six weeks ago. I’m understanding if there’s a problem and some communication. I’m writing off anything that wasn’t answered before the purge, but I’m still not getting a response after. Maybe if they’re having so many issues, related to a movie that came out six months ago or the ongoing plague or whatever else, they should possibly lay off the sales promotions until they get things in order.

Still processing.

Not upset, just wondering how the order system for mystery boxes works.. if they have them premade, or if when the order happens, it tells them special instructions... *Shrug*

Hoping the wait is a good sign, but I was under the impression they had mystery boxes ready to go, based on a few of the discussions I've seen, here. *Shrug* just thinking out loud :)

They usually do have a stock pile of MBs ready to go. I ordered one in April and it took 10 days to ship.
But right now they are limiting how many employees can be in their shop at one time, so if that stock pile has been depleted, it may take some time to build it back up.

On an unrelated note, I get the feeling that they are running low on Guarded switches. Both my recent orders included AV switches but I didn't order the sabers with them.
That works out well for me as I prefer the AV switch, but I decided not to spring for them on my recent orders.
But if anyone prefers the Guard switch instead, be aware that they seem to be upgrading to AV switches without notice.

Besides what I ordered for my kids, I got myself The Fallen, black and chrome.  Adegan silver blade with the Obsidian v4 sound board.  It cannot get here fast enough.

Actually, what I tend to do, if a company tries to implement a 20% restock fee, is just sell the item as 'new' outright on one of the various online sites... Surprisingly, I usually MAKE a few dollars on the whole deal.

Out of curiosity, what did you originally order, that arrived?

I just mailed them both back this morning.  Shipped overnight. 1st order was a Manticore with the works.  2nd order was 3 LED’s to change out and some other items plus an emitter and a pommel. But the kicker for me is that I emailed them same day I placed the order cancelling it so I could start over, rookie mistake, I want a Spectre with the Diamond Controller with the works instead. I then emailed again 15 minutes after they sent out the email debacle email, stressing to them the need to cancel. That was at 6:30am est.  No response, I have yet to get any response. I then received an email from them that the 1st order had completed and a label was created. that afternoon. They shipped the next day and the 2nd order the day after that. No response to my emails. So I included a copy of the emails I sent them, showing just cause for them not to charge me the 20% restock fee.
My fault for trying to change my order, their fault for lack of communication. So I believe they will honor my request and credit my account.

"We have since received Lite Sound boards and have had a steady stock after that temporary delay.  I looked up your order and it looks like it did not ship out with the 4 week lead time posted on the website.  We have faced many delays and stock issues due to limiting staff to ensure distancing both at the workshop and machine shop to keep everyone healthy and safe.

I just placed my very first order last week. I figured it would take some time before I would receive it. I like to think that for the amount of the order, it would take a while for it to come to me.

With that said, I am growing a bit impatient about the order. Anticipation is getting the best of me. And I was thinking to curb my anticipation, I was thinking about getting some MB’s while I wait. But the mixed responses has me wondering if this will be a close race between the two orders. Should I go for it?

You’re kidding, right?  You’re coming HERE, to a community of admitted saber fans, and asking us if you should order more sabers?

Oh, you’re funny!

Go not to the saber enthusiasts for counsel, for they will say, “Buy both this AND that.”

Fair point. I went ahead and ordered one now. And maybe place another at the end of the week when I get paid. I’ll simply pace myself until then.

Just got a real reply from US to my email on the 25th.  They are looking into my order to try to get it out soon.  So hopefully I am able to have it by this weekend since I live 1 hour from their shop and shipping shouldn't take more than a day or 2.

"We have since received Lite Sound boards and have had a steady stock after that temporary delay.  I looked up your order and it looks like it did not ship out with the 4 week lead time posted on the website.  We have faced many delays and stock issues due to limiting staff to ensure distancing both at the workshop and machine shop to keep everyone healthy and safe. I apologize for any inconvenience with this order not shipping within the 4 week lead time.  Please give me 1-2 business days to look into your order.  We will email you the tracking number as soon as this order ships out."

When did you order?  What did you order?

Still waiting for a response on my side...

Still waiting for a response on my side...

I ordered an Initiate LE V5 in Guardian Blue with the Obsidian Lite and flash on clash on April 28.  Nothing too special.  Although I was debating buying the full Obsidian but because its going to be half display, half "toy", I decided to go with the Obsidian lite.  I just wish they had told me it was out of stock and offered me an upgrade to the full version so I would have received it sooner.
I'm not sure what made them finally respond to my email but I did slowly start sending emails more often so maybe it's just pestering them until they finally notice haha

I have sent a few emails and only one got received. I made the subject line "Order #123456 (Date of Order)" and I received a reply later that day. I replied with a follow up and I have not received a reply. But they were quick with the initial questions I asked so it was nice. Maybe address your emails that way? Hope it helps.

I get the feeling I'm in for a long wait for my RGB Aeon v2 because of a shortage on Guarded switches.

I cannot confirm if they are out, but the last 2 orders I placed did not upgrade to AV switches yet all my sabers came with them.
''A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one", however it got me thinking that maybe they upgraded to AV switches because Guarded switches are low or out.

And for those that don't know, any hilt with an RGB option must use Guarded switches due to the size of the switches. The master switch can be an AV, but the 3 buttons for the Red/Green/Blue are too close together to be AVs.
So if they are out of Guarded switches, there's no way to sub for something else.

But I'm prepared for the wait if that's the case. We've got plenty of awesome sabers now to keep us entertained.

Yeah, I know it means little.  It is the first sign of life I've received though.  Minor victory.  Original order now @ 8 weeks.

There was nothing in the response that actually addressed taking any action on my orders, though.  Since I have 2 open orders that are overdue, I was hoping they could arrange to ship out whatever they had available as my first order and hold the second until whatever was backlogged was complete.  Doing so would probably even save them some shipping because all of the blades would be in one shipment and then the second would just be small box of hilts (I only ordered empty hilts and blades).

My points on my first order came available almost instantly and I used them on my second order.  My second order points still aren't showing 6 weeks later.  I still have neither order.  Seems inconsistent.

Almost the same here. First order points  were available instantly and I have used them on my actual order.
So I believe if you use reward points on an order you don't get reward points for this order. Could that be?

That's annoying - they've taken payment so you'd expect they should add them immediately.

Edit: found this in another thread:

Once you place an order and it is marked as “Shipped”, the points you have accrued will be redeemable.  You are able to view your Reward points by logging into your account on www.UltraSabers.com (http://www.UltraSabers.com). On the "My Account" page you will see a link to the "My Rewards" page.

So it seems they should only apply once shipped - has your first order just been delayed in transit?

Thanks.  I noticed they have marked a bunch of hilts "Out of Stock" that weren't until recently.  Maybe part of their effort to get caught up. Only one that is on my wait list is the Consular.  I'm guessing that explains the first of my orders.  Not so sure on the second.  I'm guessing the Guardian just because I haven't seen a new one posted by anyone here in a while.

To help others compare:

Order 1:
Consular - empty
Lost Gray - empty
1 each: Mid, UE Mid, and Heavy blades. 36" each

Order 2:
Fallen - empty
Guardian - empty
2 GB blades

Blazing Red Spectre with summer sale initiate blade.

I did have a question though; I forgot to log in to my account before purchasing... so I dont have any way to track whether its processing or complete or shipped or anything.

I've emailed Ultra concerning this (and then read to discover how backlogged even the emails are  :o )
I do have my amazon-pay receipt and order info ... wondering if they can match my amazon order # to my ultra account # somehow? Anyone else ever done this, checked out as a guest and forgot to be logged in?

Thanks folks!

A friend of mine that I occasionally spar with is a big fan of the competition and while he admits that the stated lead times from one company are “12-15 weeks” and “15-22 weeks” from another, being a fan and loyal customer he still believes the wait is worth it.  I tell him that many of us of the US loyalty are concerned when an order extends into several weeks, he laughs and says he knows, but also knows that he can’t even dare ask the other guy where his order is at until that 3 month (12 week) mark, or they will politely tell him to F off.

Then he had one CSR tell him it was going to be awhile as his order had failed to pass the rigorous (?) QA inspection prior to shipment (?) ...

I guess I’ve been lucky with the delays I’ve had from US .. damn lucky , relative to fans of the other guys, that is.

I have been emailing every day and have even shot out a fb message to the owner recently. I would really appreciate an update if at all possible.

I have products from other companies and was eager to try out ultrasabers!

Please keep us updated if you get a response, I have been trying to make contact with them since May 25th at 6:30am. I have contemplated sending that Facebook message to his  personal page myself but have not done it. I have a credit to my account that I check daily on the website to see if it has posted, so far not. I think from what I have seen on these boards, someone is responding to emails, seems like they are picking and choosing who to respond to. I have a very very urgent need  that I need a response to and so far crickets. Good luck with your communication with them ,I hope mine is resolved at least this week sometime.  If not I may have to go in a different direction to try and communicate with somebody from Ultrasabers.

I’ve been waiting for my order since 4/27. Arctic blue prophecy V3 with lite sound. I got an email with the receipt but my account says I have no orders, doesn’t say processing or anything. Just want to make sure my order even went through. Messaged them on Facebook last week and they said it would be at least 4 weeks, but it’s been 6 weeks. Fully understanding it could be 8 weeks or longer, just want a little clarification. Either way excited and grateful they are rushing for everyone’s orders during these difficult times!


Title: Has Ultrasabers been affected by COVID?
Post by: joshuahgpark on June 08, 2020, 02:09:22 PM
Hi there,

I ordered a pair of mystery boxes just over 4 weeks ago. One of them is for my daughter for her birthday in 2 weeks. When I ordered them, they posted that it was a 3-4 week lead time for manufacturing. I've sent a few emails and called last week, but I'm not getting any response. I'm really hoping that they'll be in for her birthday and as of 15 minutes ago, the order was still processing.

Should I be worried or is this normal?

Yes they have been as alot have been affected either directly or by thier suppliers during  the current situation . lead times, customer service , etc  are behind as it is not the norm for US ( i have read alot of this board since ordering my first saber and this has confirmed what i have written... all will happen in time )

I just sent an email, I placed an order at the beginning of this month, I have been on a waiting list for a better apartment for a while and thankfully got the notice I was accepted almost two months early. This is great, but it also means I will be moved before my order ships. I sent them the new shipping address and order information, and hopefully they can update the shipping address, but I have worries about the Customer Service backlog they seem to have.

But I have to have faith in the Force I guess.

I ordered a mystery saber with sound because I just couldn't make up my mind. I put in the order on May 2nd, 2020. 

May 4th came and I ordered a Spectre with sound for my good friend in California.

He got his saber in 15 days; mine is still pending.

This really surprises me; I watched that video with Emory standing in front of boxes and boxes of mystery sabers, and it gave me the perception that the mystery sabers ought to be the quickest orders to fill and ship.

I sent a follow-up email on June 1, and a followup from Customer Representative Laura on June 3rd.  She said to give her 1-2 business days to see if she could get my order through. 

1-2 business days have passed and I still have not heard anything.   I probably would have thought nothing of it had my friend not gotten his saber so quickly, and his saber was ordered 2 days after mine.

I am not sure if staff will see this, but emails to [email protected] and [email protected] are bouncing back as undeliverable. Since those are the ones listed on the post about emailing with issues I figured I should point that out. I hope it is helpful.
They had a wide scale email failure a few weeks back and since then only email address is being accepted is [email protected] and its been slow to be read ( im sure pure overload for them to deal with )

It is always unfortunate to hear about an issue like this. Many if not most of the people here has experienced a long wait time for a saber shipment and even customer service responses.
I certainly am on the side of no excuses but at time there are causes outside of the control of the good people at Ultra Sabers.

I have no information regarding your current issue but I can tell you in the past couple months there was an email issue and as that was resolved, it may have not been completely corrected.

Again, I have no information on this being the situation and I completely understand being on one end of the line waiting without any updates; it is frustrating.

I believe it will be taken care of and I pass on this positive vibe in hopes of a quick resolve.

I ordered a mystery saber with sound because I just couldn't make up my mind. I put in the order on May 2nd, 2020.  

May 4th came and I ordered a Spectre with sound for my good friend in California.

He got his saber in 15 days; mine is still pending.

This really surprises me; I watched that video with Emory standing in front of boxes and boxes of mystery sabers, and it gave me the perception that the mystery sabers ought to be the quickest orders to fill and ship.

I sent a follow-up email on June 1, and a followup from Customer Representative Laura on June 3rd.  She said to give her 1-2 business days to see if she could get my order through.  

1-2 business days have passed and I still have not heard anything.   I probably would have thought nothing of it had my friend not gotten his saber so quickly, and his saber was ordered 2 days after mine.  

I ordered 2 $75 mystery sabers and custom on May 11th. All still say processing........ I sent an email to Info@ this AM, but no response yet.  I subsequently purchased another saber from a friend since then and am patiently waiting...............

I've noticed most of the current posts are orders from May, most likely from the May the 4th event sale. I have 2 open orders for a total of 4 sabers from April. I'm guessing that the team from Ultra Sabers is trying to fulfill orders in the order they received them. There are folks who placed orders in December, January, and even February who are still waiting for their orders. I imagine the mystery sabers were the most popular, so it's possible they may have run out of stock.
I'm just as concerned as everyone else. I've spent approximately $1000 for 4 items to be delivered in an unknown amount of time.  This is a test of everyone's patience. I believe everything will work out in the end. Just give them time.

As alot of company's have been affected by the current situation of which most were caught off guard and ill prepared for such a situation. As these sabers involve alot of hand work to assemble even the most skilled person  could only do so many an hour / shift. This type of company can not off load its work to a home based process. That being said the email system could easily be set up for the CSR's to work from home at while i have no clue how sophisticated there I.T. system is ( remote login / electronic order status updates etc ) even a weekly builk contact form would at least let us know they are there and making headway thru this..

Agreed, or a prioritization system where emails related to order updates or cancellations are tagged and put near the front. It's apparent US has a lot of sales so it looks like they might need to invest in some CS upgrades as well, and that's speaking as someone who does email CS work.

I get it though and I'm not here to complain. Glad to see i'm not alone in this either.

MOST DEFINITELY not alone!  We’re trying to keep an overall positive-leaning tone, even though the inevitable impatience.  For me, it helps to remember there are real people at the other end of any emails I send.

You'll notice that email says "1-2 business days to look into your order.", not ship.  My email hit on Thursday, I'll be surprised if I get a follow up email this week.

I have ordered an Apprentice LE v5 and a mystery Box on April 22. I have emailed on two separate occasions and have heard the same stock messages. I have also left voice messages as well. I understand supply chain issues and I am not ranting. I am not sure if the order is being fulfilled or is forgotten.

This is my first purchase with this company and I see that many buyers are happy with their purchases and would like to be one of those ;) .

Please understand, this request is for information in another media type. I get it that you are swamped.

Mine hasn’t but will keep folks posted.

Ha anyone else seen their order shipped after this email?

Based on the huge number of customers they have, and the large number of years UltraSabers has been in business, I can assure you that the order has not been forgotten.

Hi there,

I ordered a pair of mystery boxes just over 4 weeks ago. One of them is for my daughter for her birthday in 2 weeks. When I ordered them, they posted that it was a 3-4 week lead time for manufacturing. I've sent a few emails and called last week, but I'm not getting any response. I'm really hoping that they'll be in for her birthday and as of 15 minutes ago, the order was still processing.

Should I be worried or is this normal?


I just got a response last night from Ultrasabers.
 "Thank you for your purchase with Ultrasabers. We are a bit behind due to having to limit staff to ensure distancing and it has affected the machine shop greatly. Your order should ship out around the end of the week. We will email you the tracking # as soon as this order gets labeled to ship out." So good news!

Hey all. Placed an order a month ago (5/9) for my first two sabers during the May the 4th be with you sale. I was initially only gonna buy one but figured if I had a saber then I'd want another so I could find someone to play with me. Eagerly looking forward to my order being completed so that I can finally be the cool kid on the block.

I was wondering if people who are emailing are including the details of their order in full or just giving the order number and a few concise sentences when requesting updates. I understand that they're probably inundated with such requests right now so I wanted to only have to send them one email that has both all of the info needed and nothing extraneous.

Oh, and if anyone wants to know, I ordered:

L-SOUNDSTUNT-CrimsonScorpion

[Choose Your Configuration: Lite Sound]
[Choose the color of your blade!: Fire Orange]
[Flash on Clash: Flash Red]
[Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration: Standard Setup]
[Blade Length: 36" Standard Size]
[Blade Option: UltraEdge Midgrade]
[Scorpion Claw Option: With Claw]
[Obsidian Lite Sound: Obsidian Lite Soundboard]
[Switch Type: Black Non-Illuminated AV Switch]
[Choose Blade Tip Type: Round Tip]
[Blade Retention Screw Wrench: Sure!]
[Include Blade Plug: Standard Plug]
[Include Saber Stand: No Thanks]
[Include Covertec Clip: Yes!]


L-SOUNDSTUNT-DarkApprenticev5

[Choose Your Configuration: Lite Sound]
[Choose the color of your blade!: Adegan Silver + Color Discs]
[Flash on Clash: No Flash]
[Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration: Standard Setup]
[Blade Option: Mid Grade]
[Blade Size: Standard 32" Blade]
[Obsidian Lite Sound: Obsidian Lite Soundboard]
[Pommel: Regular Vented Pommel (hole in bottom) [Recommended]]
[Switch Type: Silver Non-illuminated AV Switch]
[Choose Blade Tip Type: Round Tip]
[Blade Retention Screw Wrench: No Thanks]
[Include Blade Plug: No Thanks]
[Include Saber Stand: No Thanks]
[Include Covertec Clip: No Thanks]
[Install Covertec Wheel: Yes ($10 install + $5 covertec)]


I work in a theater and have access to an entire rainbow of theatrical gels so hopefully having white in the Dark Apprentice will mean I'll have plenty of color options for when my mood changes (added the color discs just to give them a try, maybe review them for others).

Hello,

I placed an order on May 15, 2020 for a mystery box detailed below from the receipt. I am unable to see the order in my order history, it simply isn't there. I would like some confirmation that the order was received other than the receipt and the money missing from my account. I understand there are delays, but it's just one Mystery Box so I figured it might be at least added to my profile already. I also sent an email on June 3, that detailed the same.

[Mystery Box Type: $75 Random Mystery Box]
[Blade Length: 32" Length]
[Blade Option: UltraEdge Midgrade]
[Choose Blade Tip Type: POINTED TIP]
[Blade Retention Screw Wrench: Sure!]
[Include Blade Plug: No Thanks]
[Include Saber Stand: No Thanks]
Flush Silver Finish Coupler


Hope to hear from someone soon.

Posting my own recent wait(s) here to add to the pool of knowledge about where things are at by deduction:

May 4th order: 6 Lith-Ion battteries and a $75 Mystery Box

May 10th order: Savior with v4 Obsidian sound, no FOC, silver AV switch.

My May 10th order has since arrived end of May, I can't find my delivery confirmation e-mail for some reason, but I have it. The May 4th order, however is still in its processing state. I have sent an e-mail with the order number ten days ago and received no reply so far. I ordered the batteries for my other sabers from 8 years ago already (wow) it was time for new batteries. I have some mixed feelings about this particular order within this storm of events, but I remain patient and understanding, I can only imagine what an extremely large influx of orders followed by a shortage of supplies could be like. Idk I only have incessant babbling to include at this point, the facts about my orders have been presented.

May the force be with you and your orders!

The saber order:

Dark Initiate V2

[Color of blade: Consular Green]

Emporer's hand with Violet Amethyst

Last I heard was it was going to be looked into within the next day or two. That was two weeks ago. Hoping to get it within the next month or so before my wedding as they are a part of our wedding photo.

I see a pattern with quite a few orders including V5s.
I know they had run out of stock on those around February because I had ordered one and after 2 months they said it was out and offered a replacement, which I took.

With the quarantine and social distancing practices starting in March, I could very well imagine they weren't able to build up a good stock of those hilts, so now they are having to make each order that include V5s from scratch with a long line of limited access to the machine shop to make it.

Yeah, They say they are a month behind but from the sounds of it on the Forum here they are almost 2 months behind. From my correspondence with them, they supposedly have these shipped out within a few days of purchase. How that is, I don't know. I ordered things that were in stock. I did not order anything out of stock because of the notice they posted. Yet here I am little over a month has gone by and still nothing. Though I have finally received 2 emails from them and one even had an apology. I made sure to get a 3rd free one so that my son would have one too. He has no idea it's coming and I am happy I didn't tell him yet. My order still says processing as well. I check every morning to see if it has changed. I still have no idea what processing means. They already took my money, I don't know what is left to process. I asked for clarification, I of course have not received any. I love the Sabers I built and I can't wait to receive them. From what I have read they make really good Sabers. Kind of pointless if your customers don't get them though.

I wish I was as lucky as you. I got an email a few days ago saying they were sorry it has taken over a month and that they would look into why it has taken so long. No word back yet.....

This was the beginning of week 9 for me, so I’m just glad the wait is finally ending

Just checked the website; the sabers I ordered for the kids are still available, but the Fallen (black handle) that I ordered for myself is out of stock.  Crap.

So how does this work?  I placed my order on June 1, and it was in stock then.  Am I out of luck?

I ordered my Fallen on 4/23 and it will supposedly be arriving on Monday.  I told them in an email that they could split my orders between what was available and what wasn't.  According to my account though, it looks like my 4/23 order is shipping complete.

I've got a Consular on my 4/10 order, which has also been changed to "out of stock".

The biggest concern, I have, above all else.. is the lack of communication.

Yes, I get it.. there was an email issue for a bit. But many of us have reached out to ask if we can get ANY sort of info.. with nothing but radio silence. :(

I'll admit, I can be impatient.. but I'm ok with waiting.. so long as there is transparency explaining WHY I'm waiting... I'm also one for details.. so a simple: 'Sorry, we're out of stock on mystery boxes', doesn't quite cut it for me... I'm all about details. If I have those.. I'm perfectly content and understanding.

I get that covid messed up supply lines... my job partially revolves around shipments from overseas, and I have a few shipments for projects that have been a little delayed... sure.. and the supplier explains WHY, too. But, to be fair, MOST things I've been ordering for projects, in the last couple of weeks, have been just fine... one or 2 days.. heck, a shipping container of equipment was delayed a full week in port... and I knew the exact specifics as to why.

Radio silence and lack of updates just lights my fuse, and makes me twitchy.

A simple acknowledgement can go a LONG way.

In the meantime, I've managed to procure a few Ultrasabers from a local seller who has been reducing his collection.. so I guess that's a plus, right? ;) (Apprentice LEv4, Apprentice V4, and Initiate v5... pick them up this weekend from him)

Processing means that your order has been accepted, so it’s in the queue, and it will be manufactured/assembled and shipped when its turn in the queue comes due, and all the necessary parts/tools/workstations/other_resources are available.  The next status you will see is “shipped,” and it means exactly that.

I'd also be interested.. AND I'd like to know what was ordered? I've seen a few users out here, that have ordered mystery boxes or grab bags.. and they're still waiting. I'd figure those would be the easiest to fulfill, since they're not really custom to built orders...

Starting to wonder if they're 'leftovers' that people cancelled, or returned.. Doesn't really matter, but if they're having to reuse parts from returns or cancelled orders, just to fulfill orders, then this would explain why the mysteries and grabs aren't being filled.. since there wouldn't be enough spare parts, nor returns. (this is only speculation.. I have no proof of anything like this happening.. I just understand how supply and demand works ;)

It would also explain why orders aren't consistent with the way they're being filled. (example: 8 days ship, vs some of the people out here that have been waiting for 1 month or more for a simple grab bag or mystery box)


Now, that said.. if the above poster isn't trolling (no offense.. I just generally don't know if you would be 'that guy' or not), and their order matches something that someone else ordered, earlier.. then that would speak of an order system malfunction.

UPDATE:

I was able to finally get someone on email after having to be pushy and going through their FB page to force them to get an answer. US has a weirdly sparse social media presence so it's hard when the one clear route available (email) isn't being answered.

That said, someone is finally looking into upgrading my order to a tri-cree, literally the only change I had requested in all my emails. Still waiting on a response to my last email about when this might ship and a potential shipping address change depending on that. I'm moving in a couple weeks so I might need to have this routed to a different address.

USPS forwards First Class mail to the new address for a year for free; all you have to do is file a Change of Address form (which can now be done online).  Does this not also apply to First Class packages?  Or are you preparing for some other shipping method to be used, just in case?

I already have that set up but I would, ideally, love to not have this package bounce around USPS any longer than it should. That seems like a recipe for damage in transport or loss, particularly right now.

Could the number just be “too new”? I don’t wanna go email customer service AGAIN if it’s something as stupid and simple as that, but I’ve waited SO LONG, I wanna track my package! :'(

I can't say with any certainty about US, but I have worked in warehouse type jobs before where we shipped things out and it is definitely possible that the number is too new. The places I've worked at printed out their packing slips and things on site before taking them to be shipped/waiting for the truck to arrive to pick things up. As I type this I think we were using FedEx or something, not USPS, but I imagine it could be the same. US might have logged/scanned it in their system as shipped when they got it all packaged, it just needs time to get into the system of whatever service they are using (presumably USPS).

If it still doesn't work after 24 hours, then I'd be concerned, but I think you're fine.

It takes about 24-48 hours or so for the tracking number to be, well, trackable.  Don't sweat it; just give it a day and then check it.

9 weeks and 5 or so emails later I got my tracking number. Ordered April 9th, big one being a diamond initiate LEv5 and the others being a stunt initiate v2 and a 4th prize in the last raffle. Based on reading the last 20ish pages they most likely ran out of some of the v5s, initiates especially. Good luck to larzz012 on that March order.

Orders ARE being shipped out.  Not nearly as quickly as is normal for UltraSabers, and that is what is frustrating so many people, because US typically would ship within 1-2 weeks.  Now, thanks to a huge build-up of orders started by the release of a movie, a popular TV show, a popular video game, and Christmas shopping, combined with a couple back-to-back sale events, plus the decrease in availability of certain parts made in China (like the LED modules, and perhaps the sound boards) caused by the impacts of COVID-19 in China, plus the slowdown in manufacturing caused by the impacts of COVID-19 here in the United States, there is now a delay that is much longer than normal for all their orders.

If that reality doesn’t meet with your approval, then you probably should look elsewhere, because there is no guarantee that you will get your order processed and shipped in 3-4 weeks.  That 3-4 week lead time is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Be advised, though, that if you go elsewhere, they will be facing similar supply-chain problems, and similar manufacturing challenges thanks to distancing requirements, and remember that their NORMAL lead times are measured in months, whereas the normal lead time for UltraSabers is 1-2 weeks.

US isn’t the greatest at updating what’s actually in stock, so it’s probably about the same as competitors, but frustrating because they don’t communicate that

Took a gamble and sent them an email, asking if my forthcoming Frankensaber could be equipped with the Obsidian V4 sound board before they send it to me, and how much it would cost.  It's a shot in the dark, I'm sure, but I figured since I placed the order only a week ago, maybe I'd get lucky.  No harm in trying, right?

I GOT A REPLY!!!!!!

The first thing they told me was that because of the current world situation; material shortages and trying to keep their work force safe, they apologized profusely and said that their current estimated lead time is 4 weeks.   Normally it would be a few business days, but it's impossible for them to do that now.  When it does ship, they'll send me the tracking number.

Totally understandable, I'm fine with all that.

The reason for my email in the first place was to ask if I could have sound added to my forthcoming Frankensaber.   AND I CAN!  They gave the the available options: Obsidian v4, flash on clash, charger port, illuminated or non-illuminated AV switch, etc, and the prices.

YES!  YES!  OH, FRABJUS DAY!  CALLOO-CALLAY!

Sorry, but I do enjoy getting good news.  Needless to say, I'm going for the works; the prices are definitely within my budget.

Just be patient, everyone!   Yours will come before you know it!  👍

Please forgive my idiocy, just wondering about making a modification on my order. Let’s say I want to upgrade my Frankensaber to have sound. How do they charge for the upgrade? By using the same payment method on the order or would they ask for another payment method? When they respond of course.

I’m already asking for a possible two month wait, I like to overshoot my estimates to avoid any disappointment. Just want to make the wait even more meaningful when it finally comes in.

There's a specific item SKU that costs $1, you add as many as the upgrade costs to your cart and check out as normal, so it can be done with a separate card if you want. At least that's how I upgraded the LED on my order.

It was an out of stock hilt, but before mine shipped Wednesday, I was told they got a small stock of them in, my order was 4/13 so it could go either way with yours depending on who else ordered the hilt

Finally got my order switched up to the correct LED setup. Also was told about the 4 week processing time which would be yesterday. Unclear if that's an additional four weeks because of the change or not but I hope to see a shipping notification soon.

Someone finally answered me! Of course, they didn’t answer any questions. But they did say that they looked into it and my order is already on its way and the tracking number works! Of course the tracking page and the shipment email I got only an hour before Laura’s reply both say it was only sent mere hours before getting a reply. So, their communication has really sucked. But, I’m excited that I should receive it Monday!

You’re not wrong with the just doing you.

And to answer your question, I’m used to waiting for an order. I already have a few expensive hobbies that have wait times, like Warhammer 40K for instance, I have to wait for an order to come from overseas half the time.

I pace myself with everything I do. Especially with long wait times. I keep ordering until I begin to receive my first orders. So when I stop, I know I will have a good start. Then I left my friends involved and save them money so they can use my stuff until they catch the bug!!!

I hate not having anybody to have a hobby with. Especially one I know my friends and have been interested in since we were kids!!!  :D

That and I’m ordering for different people. As an early B-Day for most, some may be late lol

9 weeks and 5 or so emails later I got my tracking number. Ordered April 9th, big one being a diamond initiate LEv5 and the others being a stunt initiate v2 and a 4th prize in the last raffle. Based on reading the last 20ish pages they most likely ran out of some of the v5s, initiates especially. Good luck to larzz012 on that March order.

Thank god I woke up this morning to the best news in a while, my order is shipping and will be here Monday! Sooo happy!!

Sure!  Just swap the blades.  The other was already a mystery, so let it be a pointy one!

Got my sabers!! my dominix le v5 in blazing red
Mystery box looks like an aeon le v4 in purple. I weirdly got a pointed tip on my dominix, anyone know if that’s something I can swap out myself??

Oh, I know what you mean. I ordered a Dark Sentinel LE V5 on May 5th and I'm in the same boat. My first saber from US, and I'm excited for it. I've been quietly upgrading my custom Sith costume for awhile now and the saber is going to be the icing on the cake.

Post by: Darth_Skystalker on June 13, 2020, 11:52:25 PM
Same boat Jedi and Sith, ordered 4/15. 9 weeks this coming Wednesday.

1- mystery box with sound
1- Lost Gray Diamond controller
1- free I initiate (May 4th sale)
1- grab bad 4th tier raffle prize.

Trying to focus on the force and keep centered. The Lost Gray is for my 9 yr old greatest Ahsoka fan. She’s going to lose her mind! I can not wait to see her reaction when we open it up and then ignite it!!! It’ll be all worth the wait.

Best wishes all. I hope you all get your orders sooner than later and in good shipping condition. MTFBWY always.

I didn’t order a lost grey, but it’s one that I hope my grab bag ends up being. If not, I may have to specifically order it. My daughter and I both love Ahsoka... but I guess I’d let her have it to start her own collection. 🙂

I can see your anticipation for your second order. I was going to place an order for that exact saber.  

By my math, you’re at the cusp of the 7 week mark. I would wait it out another week to give them a chance to get it out in that 8 week time frame that has been set upon us. That and to give them a chance to catch up with the emails that are without a doubt needing to be sifted through. I have one pending myself from 06/11, and still no response.

But that’s just my opinion.

Post by: Jedi_Phoenix on June 14, 2020, 08:47:28 PM
I GOT A REPLY!!!!!!

The first thing they told me was that because of the current world situation; material shortages and trying to keep their work force safe, they apologized profusely and said that their current estimated lead time is 4 weeks.   Normally it would be a few business days, but it's impossible for them to do that now.  When it does ship, they'll send me the tracking number.

Totally understandable, I'm fine with all that.

The reason for my email in the first place was to ask if I could have sound added to my forthcoming Frankensaber.   AND I CAN!  They gave the the available options: Obsidian v4, flash on clash, charger port, illuminated or non-illuminated AV switch, etc, and the prices.

YES!  YES!  OH, FRABJUS DAY!  CALLOO-CALLAY!

Sorry, but I do enjoy getting good news.  Needless to say, I'm going for the works; the prices are definitely within my budget.

Just be patient, everyone!   Yours will come before you know it!  👍

Just got another email reply from Aria, the same customer service rep who emailed me in the first place.  Got step by step instructions on how to order the upgrades on the Frankensaber.

This was a mere 48 hours or so after my reply to her.  I know a lot of you are having long wait times in getting email responses but all I can say is, there are definitely people on the other end.  There are people working on these.  Having patience is hard as hell but your time and your goodies will come!

More updates forthcoming as I have them.  Stay tuned...

Got this email yesterday! I'm hopeful but not sold it will actually ship today. Apprentice LEv5 Arctic Blue with Silver FOC, premium sound and a Mystery box ordered May 4th.

"I am so sorry for the delay in responding, for some reason your email was in my spam folder. I show your hilt arrived from the machine shop on Friday and is in the final stages of fabrication. Your order is shipping out on Monday. As a courtesy for this delay, I am going to upgrade your blade plug to the Gold Circle Specialty blade plug. We will email you the tracking # as soon as this order gets labeled to ship out. I apologize for any inconvenience this delay may have caused."

Another reply from Aria, this time less than 24 hours later...just confirming receipt of my requisition payment, and she'll make sure it's linked to my original order so my Frankensaber will be upgraded.  Once it ships, I'll be notified of the tracking information.

I dunno....i know a lot of you are having issues with people responding, I don't know why I'm not.  All I can say is maybe they're trying to get caught up with everything. 

I'll be honest, though....they're saying 4 weeks to process, but I'm expecting longer than that, LOL...

Neither about the update I needed to make (changing the shipping address due to a recent move) or about the order itself :(.  Ordered a ApprenticeLEv5 in blazing red with Obsidian Lite. Everything was pretty standard that I ordered I think too.

Right there with you! I have sent 4 emails in the last two weeks to the new address and still nothing, nor an update on my order. You would think two mystery boxes and a Stunt Apprentice in Ice would be fairly easy. I've purchased 3 US since from private sellers and may need to rethink my orders....... hmmmm

So I ordered a lightsaber for my brother on May the Fourth, and after 3 weeks of waiting, I decided to email customer support. Now, 3 weeks later, I have finally gotten them to inform me that the hilt I ordered is actually out of stock for another 1-2 weeks, and so they presented me with some options as to what I could do; those being wait, or switch to the Dark Standard Issue v3. I replied asking if I could get a different hilt than that (the Standard is the same cost as the hilt that I ordered--Dark Initiate v5), and I will post on what they say. It appears that their website is not accurately displaying stock, as the same hilt I ordered 6 weeks ago is the in stock on their website. I imagine that this is an issue with other customers as well--I was lucky enough to reach through to support, I guess. Only reason I am posting this at all is to hopefully inform others who are waiting without any kind of response from customer support.

Normally they are, but right now they have limited access to the machine shop and I think they may have run out of pre-stocked MBs.
So instead of having a pile of MBs to grab-and-go, an associate has to make them to order.

I suppose that I'm also in the same boat as you guys. The only difference is that I've been getting sparse communication on my order. I ordered three sabers, A Azure Fallen, A crimson Empress, and a Grandmaster LE. All with diamond electronics.

I've been told now that the empress is out of stock, that Saber is for my fiance and is the only Saber she likes.... Has anyone here had it where they ship the parts of your order that are ready and then wait on the sabers that are currently out of stock? We would be fine with that if possible.... I ordered may 5th.... 6 weeks tomorrow

But I need the other two sabers in hand before this coming weekend... Stressing out bad.  :-[

How rad would it be if they gave us the option for a “wishtery box” you give them a wishlist and see what can be done from that point as a starting line. Just some wishful thinking on my part. Call it brain fart/storm. Lol.

First off, hello and welcome to the first timers club.  😁

Right now, everyone is stuck with long waiting times, thanks to Covid-19,  material shortages, plus a huge amount of orders in the wake of Rise of Skywalker coming out recently....plus they had a problem with the loss of a huge amount of their email backlogs around late May.  Basically, it's the perfect storm that they're trying to work through.  When your order does ship, they'll send you a tracking number.

All I can tell you is to be patient; we're all in the same boat so we share your eagerness.  But, people are getting their orders.  Your goodies will come.  👍

Depending on what you ordered, a wild guess would be 2-12 weeks.

That is incorrect. According to the emails sent out by US regarding the issue, they lost all emails prior to 5/25/2020.

Hello and welcome...first thing I'll point out is that this board isn't associated with Ultrasabers customer service or anything else to do with the company.  Its a community forum that they've set up for us fans and owners of their products.   While there are a lot of people here who can give advice on the products themselves (technical know-how, customization options and so on), we can't help you with the order status, other than to sympathize and empathize with your plight.

You can reach the company at [email protected], but honestly?  They're bombarded with emails right now and you might not get a reply in a timely fashion; theyre dealing with a lot of stuff beyond their control.

Best advice I can give you is to hang in there and be patient.  They ARE getting orders shipped.  Your day will come!  👍

So I've been watching a lot of Ultrasaber videos on YouTube as I wait for my order because, well, as torturous as it is, it's fun, and i found this video that I need to share with you guys...

He talks about the customers who are giving the company bad reviews with the Better Business Bureau and who threaten to sue them and who bombard them with emails and basically calls them out for it.  He also gives his ideas on why some people get their orders before others and how it doesn't matter WHEN you ordered, the orders are not processed sequentially.

Basically, he calls for everyone to chill.  I mean, he really hits the nail on the head.

If the guy who authored and posted this video, Jedi Master Vega, is among us here, STAND AND BE RECOGNIZED, SIR!  👏👏👏👏👏

But but but I need my Sabers to beat rioters with!

Yea the crimson empress is out of stock supposedly. My fiance is set on that Saber and dosent want a different hilt. I just wonder if they can send my other two sabers so that I have them without having to wait another 10 weeks. - _- I keep hoping to get them this weekend to use them on a trip that I leave for on Friday. We shall see.... If not I bought a cheap beater online I'll use. The goal will be to see if I can break that one xD.

I really like the baton Saber on here. I believe all law enforcement should have a baton Saber from Ultrasabers lol. It would make all encounters more interesting.

I'm 2 days away from waiting 8 weeks for a Spectre. I read that other people who ordered Spectres were also waiting a long time, is there just a part shortage or something for this model? Should I contact Ultrasabers? The only reason I didn't is because it once took them 2 weeks to send me a password reset email, and after 4 weeks of waiting I thought I would've received the saber by the time they responded anyway (it seems I was wrong). This situation kinda sucks, I wouldn't be too miffed about it since I already have a saber, but this one isn't even for me, I bought it as a gift for someone else.

I'm still waiting for my order(728831) from February. Can anyone beat that?? I've emailed their info/shipping addresses but the only responses have been the form emails they copy and paste.  These emails haven't contained any useful information about my order so I'm convinced their emails are automatically sent. I have responded asking if there is anything I can do to expedite the process(change hilt, color, upgrade shipping, anything!) No response... Has anyone been through something similar?  I NEED these before my wedding in August.

Thank you all for letting me vent!  :-[

Sounds like you placed your order just as the world was starting to go sideways, and this was on the heels of Ultrasabers getting slammed with Rise of Skywalker Mania.  I don't think emailing them about changing the order will do any good and i honestly wouldn't bother; as frustrating as the lack of communication is, they might just be trying to focus their energies on getting orders processed and shipped.  Personal response to the deluge of emails would take away from that.

That being said, I think you'll be good to go for August.   Hang in there.  And congrats on the wedding!

It may have been just a coincidence but a week ago I sent an email that I was going to have my CC company do a back charge and to cancel my order. Less than a week later I get the response that my saber is shipping on Monday. Again, may be just a coincidence but who knows. Great thing is it's arriving Friday which happens to be my fiances birthday and I bought it for her. Lucky timing there as I was scrambling to find her another gift!

I think they got tired of my armada of emails. I went in deep like the rebels attacking the death star. But Brent has been helping me recently which is good. He typically responds to me on Mondays and Thursdays. I literally replied to his email 30 seconds after I got it Monday.

My order of the crimson empress is currently out of stock. Luckily Splitting the shipment of my order is an option for 15$ shipping for the empress when it does ship. I'll be looking at 16-14 weeks total for the empress before I get it.... But it's what the fiance wants!

For the guy who's order is from February, keep in mind they lost ALL of the emails from April back. So your emails were lost.... I sent messages to everyone... Even emorys email xD yes I figured out what that was.... Haha I'm persistent.... One of my days off of work I proceeded to call their number over an hour non stop....

Furthermore!!! They check the voicemail every Sunday, if you call Sunday you might be able to leave a voicemail before it's full! (I left several.... Never got called back tho!) lol....

I felt like my emails were nearly equivalent to a DDoS attack lol

For anyone that has any urgent stuff they need a reply with I would suggest going the FB route. That seemed to do the trick for me. It seems to force them to reply so if it's something like an address change that you need then it might not be a bad idea to do that. If it's just a general "gimme my order now" then I would advice patience

Got a response today from Aria stating that my shipping address update was made! I believe they have been who responded to a few people so far. So they are getting through the back log. Also that they were waiting on Apprentice LE v5 hilts which is why my order was delayed but more should be coming tomorrow. So hopefully I'll have my first saber in hand real soon!!!

My Facebook attempts at contact have gone unanswered


I contacted via FB as well and it took a bit of time, but they do answer.

Its clear though they are really slammed. I feel bad for being impatient...but I'm excited!!

Looking back on the last few pages it seems all of us who ordered Apprentice LE v5s are in the same boat. Im at 8 weeks and sent an email a couple weeks ago and its been radio static. The thing that bugs me isn't the wait time its the lack of communication. The Apprentice LE hasn't even said "out of stock" on the website.

Yeah, that's one thing I'm not sure about, either; if they meant 3-4 weeks after my order date, that means I'll get an email either this week or next.  If they meant since the email, then I'm looking at first week in July or so.

That's assuming, of course, that it will actually be 3-4 weeks, of course.   Since I ordered 5 customized sabers - 6 if you include the Frankensaber - with another three random sabers on top of that, I'm not counting on it being that quick.   Since they're for Christmas, I'm not sweating the waiting period as far as them getting here on time goes.

But the waiting is agonizing torture all the same, LOL.

Post by: ImperialRedGuard-HellFire on June 17, 2020, 05:01:57 AM
From what I understand is the minimum wait is a hard 4 weeks from the date of purchase. But I'd expect more.... I'm on week 6 hoping to get 2/3 sabers shipped soon.

it's 4 weeks ago I ordered my Scorpion with claw and Sentinel Yellow blade for a Jedi Sentinel cosplay I'm working on. The website was advertising 3-4 weeks due to orders, backlog, etc. But like many of you my order still says processing even after I've received the email confirming my order and my credit card has already been charged. I have emailed them asking for clarification on "Processing" and a revised shipping date but ultimately I've heard nothing back.

Thankfully with the COVID-19 crisis the event I was attending is still postponed so I should be OK, and I fully understand that things will be delayed ..... but it's the lack of information and communication that winds me up, especially when we're still getting regular emails from them about offers and specials, etc.

Losing some faith here.  I resubmitted my emails as requested.  Have never gotten any response or acknowledgment.  No clear communication.

Is this an indicator my order is completed? Lost?  If I do need to contact US as requested, what method can I use, as emails to info seem to disappear into a black hole?

We all have gotten used to Amazon Prime levels of warp-speed delivery, and most of us don’t think about what it takes to actually MAKE something.  Aside from certain electrical components, it’s my understanding that all US hilt parts are machined locally, WHICH IS AWESOME!  But it takes a lot of time and logistics.  I wish they would show a walk through of the manufacturing process to show the lathes, milling machines, presses, etc that are used to machine the aluminum.  Most sabers have to be machined once, sent out for anodizing, which is rarely done in-house, then RE-machined to reveal the silvery highlights.  Then there is the clean-up from the machining process, and cataloguing of parts, of which there are HUNDREDS.  

  I am just as eager to get my saber as the next person, but at the same time, I am proud to be supporting local craftspeople and American products.

I didn't expect to have it 3 days after I ordered like with amazon, I didn't expect it to take 1 week to make, I expected 4 weeks to make because that's what it says when you buy one. I understand it takes a while to make these sabers, but after waiting 8 weeks without any communication except "check out our new sale", I gotta wonder why they dont hire more employees for customer service. From the outside looking in it seems like they need to.

I agree and I think it's just another form of saying what a few people have been saying in the last few pages. I think everyone is ok with waiting for the most part and people seem to be patient given the circumstances, but where US seems to be failing is communication and transparency. A lot of people's insecurities and anxieties would be fixed simply with some minor communication or transparency in the form of posts on social media (something US seems to woefully lack) or as part of a newsletter or blog posts in their site. US seems like a company that makes good products and does well but they seem to be missing some of the core components of a company like social aspects.

Ohhhh, a "how it's done" video from start to finish would be very cool...

I know Ultrasabers had a reputation for processing and shipping orders within a week before everything went flip city, but frankly, I find that a little astonishing given these products.   I would expect a 3-4 week waiting period under normal circumstances.   Personally, I'm waiting on 9 sabers, including 6 custom jobs.   My order was placed June 1; if I get an email this week or next saying that they're on the way, I'll eat my phone.  I'm not expecting anything until next month, and I'm fine with that; it's just a sign of the times and can't be helped.

I will readily agree, however, that the communication issues suck.   I've had no issues, but I know a lot of you have and it's not cool.  They REALLY need to work on that.

I kinda agree. Their pricing and product quality is fantastic, but the lack of communication is disheartening.
Another solution would be to update their website better. Actually list which hits are out instead of informing the customer after 6+ weeks of waiting. And update the lead time something like 6-8 weeks.

I love US and they've always fixed any issues for me, but I really think they are shooting themselves in the foot by not doing these little things that would set proper expectations.

Serious how many emails would they have prevented from just listing the lead time as 6-8 weeks? Even if they somehow got most out within 5 weeks, that would seem like a bonus to most if us. But so, so many people seem to be getting past that 5 week mark that we get anxious. And most first timers are quick to be vocal about it.
So list the lead time as much longer to set a longer expectation and thus massively reduce the "wHeRes Muh sABer??!?!!" emails.

I can’t argue with that, and reducing the number of those emails (which, to be frank, are useless, because they cannot be properly answered unless the saber is already being made) would free up resources to address the issues that can actually be addressed.

I gotta warn you about the dominicide's emitter claws, i did some dueling with my friend and in the first 5 minutes one emitter was down to 2 claws, and the other only has one left. I wouldn't say we were doing anything crazy either, so dont expect those to last very long if youre going to be dueling with it. Maybe i just got a bad one tho

I gotta warn you about the dominicide's emitter claws, i did some dueling with my friend and in the first 5 minutes one emitter was down to 2 claws, and the other only has one left. I wouldn't say we were doing anything crazy either, so dont expect those to last very long if youre going to be dueling with it. Maybe i just got a bad one tho


I had seen one video review, I think it was Sidious Sabers, he mentioned about the claws on the emitter as well.  I have a Dominicide on my wish list, but if I pull the trigger on it I think I'd switch out those emitters for Manticore emitters or something along those lines.

Anyone know of a way to get through to support? I have emailed them a few times now with no response. I made my order on May 4th so it is past the 3-4 weeks lead time. I get they are probably busy with the COVID shutdowns and everything but I ordered 6 sabers for groomsmen gifts for my wedding. Really hoping they get here before the middle of July when I get married.

Message them on Facebook mentioning that, someone should hopefully reply to your emails after that.

All emails prior to 25-MAY have been irretrievably lost.  Email [email protected], including your order number in the subject line.  As mentioned above, messaging them on Facebook might help, but it is not the officially-recommended way of requesting customer support; only the email address mentioned in this message is currently supported.

My emails were all past the day they lost theirs. All three time have been in June. I didn't want to seem antsy, just getting close to the wedding I am a little nervous not to have the gifts. I will try the facebook message option. Thanks guys.

My partner and I placed an order at the end of April for a Mantis for me and a Sentinel v4 Staff for him, which we have received no word on as of yet, personally I am fine but I know he is getting antsy. With the virus going around I understand the delay, but seeing people posting on Social media that they placed their order a week or two ago and got theirs today is a bit of a problem... Having clearer announcements would be nice to pus some people at ease I guess.
Mostly just hoping to get some form of communication and time table soon.

Not sure if this matters, but I placed an order for a black Yari extension, 4 batteries,  black flush coupler and a silver pommel yesterday.  Just got notification that it shipped..... wow

Yeah, you definitely got lucky, LOL....I'm willing to bet it's because you just ordered some parts, so they were able to process your order very quickly.   At any rate, congrats.  👏

Post by: HesaHeart on June 17, 2020, 06:28:05 PM
just my 2 cents thrown in here ...How many orders do you think US has currently ? now add the covid situation.. so lets say 200 sabers on order with 100 of those orders being tracked by the person who placed the order and emailing them on a consistent basis that adds up to alot of emails per day to deal with ... how long would it take you to do a personal answer to each one ??? and since there is so many variations of sabers a bulk update would be inaccurate . so and this is my opinion 1 email every 4 weeks is more then enough and if we all followed a similar pattern  we would see a more consistent response from US. Just for the record i to am anxious as hell to get my very first saber. I check my email several times a day as well as order status and get all excited when i hear the mail man, so we are all in same position. Wait for it and it will come.

Serious how many emails would they have prevented from just listing the lead time as 6-8 weeks? Even if they somehow got most out within 5 weeks, that would seem like a bonus to most if us. But so, so many people seem to be getting past that 5 week mark that we get anxious. And most first timers are quick to be vocal about it.

The term we used to use, back when I worked in the hospitality industry, was: 'Under promise, and over deliver'.

If you know your lead time is 5 weeks.. you tell the customers 7-8 weeks, that way YOU, set the expectation.. and then make yourself look stellar if you deliver what you've promised, before that deadline is met.


Now then, the rest is a bit long winded.. feel free to tune out, or go to the TLDR section, at the end ;)


Right now, Ultrasabers is potentially the victim of their own success.. and it's clearly being shown, based on how they're handling damage control.


A prime example... if you can't keep up, or meet your own orders right NOW.. don't run a sale that's going to get you thousands of more orders. (Especially if you can't guarantee if/when they will be filled)

Doing stuff like that, falls tremendously close to actions that start getting compliance investigators looking at you.   (I speak from personal experience)


Ultrasabers could REALLY use a good PR Manager, right now. There's a lot of things that could be done to make things a bit more tolerable to those that have already given their money (many of which, may actually be experiencing financial issues, now, with the Covid fallout, themselves), and while many of us are just quietly exercising patience, I fully understand why some people are upset.

I have to admit, even I'm starting to get a bit twitchy.

I specifically didn't order a custom saber, because I wanted to see the quality for myself, in person. Custom products take a while, and I purchased 3 mystery boxes in early May, simply due to the fact that I understood that supply issues might be impacting the custom orders. So.. the simplest way to order would be 3 mystery boxes, with emitter plugs.. just to throw some extra money US's way. (I have multiple 3D printers.. printing an emitter cover is trivial)

However, I now suspect that mystery boxes are produced, much in the way Frankensabers are. Extra/leftover parts, that are used to quickly assemble a product that can be sold. It's a great way to reduce waste, if you can find a way to reuse parts/products that are returned or unused. It also keeps production costs down, since you can make deals with parts suppliers to supply you with X amount of parts, every Y amount of time.... (eg: 'If you're willing to accept 300 aluminum rods, every 2 weeks, we'll make the cost at $5 per rod.. otherwise, it'll be $8 per rod)

By finding a way to keep that inventory constantly moving, you don't have to have as much storage costs, and you can keep that cost, overall, down.. even if you're not making as much, per part shipment as you could/would if every part was sold at max value.

Now, I SUSPECT (based on what I know of logistics and business) that Ultrasabers is experiencing a shortage of crucial components, that are necessary to most orders. Based on that, it's most cost effective for them to use their parts for the products that are going to give them the most return for the parts... which is likely why we're seeing some customers get their orders placed and shipped in a matter of days, vs those that have been on 'processing' for weeks/months. It would also explain why some customers are getting responses from customer support, more than others.

If the above is correct, and I suspect SOME of it is, then I understand the business behind the decisions that US are making. It keeps them operational, and keeps their employees.. employed.

However, IF this is what Ultrasabers is doing (and, again, I suspect some of it IS).. then those users that ordered non cost effective items (such as 3 mystery boxes, like I've ordered) will be considered 'lowest priority', and, as such, will be processed dead last. (The company is making less money on those products, per saber, than the others)


Now.. here's the BIG problem with that... Customer loyalty.

You see a lot of users, here, that are defending US to the death... because they're repeat customers. A customer, who has had constant stellar experiences with a company, is more likely to put up with the occasional delay, than one person who has just started doing business with that same company, and immediately has issues. That is a potentially lost customer, that won't be back. In some cases, a company doesn't care.. because a one off customer, isn't really a loss, anyway. (the term that the hospitality industry used, was 'transient customers')

Unfortunately, however, there WILL be repeat customers in that mix, too.. that would have gotten their first order, and are so amazed with the result, they buy more... OR, even more importantly, they start to become a vocal word of mouth advertising for a company/product. That can actually become an immeasurable loss of revenue.

So.. that's where PR comes in.. a PR manager will produce simple updates, and methods of making potentially unhappy customers calm... AND, they have the ability to take a calm/patient customer, and make them a brand fanatic.

Heck, even explaining things in a logical manner (as many of us have done), in an OFFICIAL capacity, can calm down a number of disgruntled customers, who are just looking for explanations.

The PR aspect is what US is missing, right now, unfortunately... which is somewhat weird, because Emory is apparently a Social Media fan, and likes documenting things regarding his company... think of all of the unveiling videos and such, that he's done in the past.. you'd think he'd take an opportunity like this, to get some face time with the customers and help diffuse any tensions that customers may have. *Shrug*


TL;DR - UltraSabers needs to communicate with their customers better, even if it's to explain (in detail) whats going on with orders that have been 'processing' for more than the usual amount of time.

I agree with a lot of the sentiments being shared here. I've seen other companies that are dealing with overwhelming orders and delays at this time communicate that through IG and FB and most customers are totally cool with that. Something like that is a relatively simple communication update that won't take any time away from answering emails and it would go MILES with customers dealing with delays. That would reduce "where is my order" emails significantly and allow CSR to answer the more pressing change and refund emails they're also likely getting.

It sounds to me, based on all this that US needs to very strongly rework the way they handle customer service and their communication. I'm sure the product is great but that's only one aspect of what makes a company.

They need to be transparent with their lead times. Other companies make no question that the wait time will be 8-10 weeks. With that being said I did purchase one of their products. But the funny thing is that in their Facebook page if I post any question at all the owner is right there talking to me and hanging out

My sentiments EXACTLY!!! As a matter of fact, I actually said most of what you just posted, less wordy, lol. Low and behold some mod removed my post for “bad behavior”. So unapologetic that my opinion and words bothered them enough the remove it. But I totally support under promise over deliver. That’s how I’ve dealt with all my guests at work for 17 plus years now. It truly does help.

US. Take notes. That man has VERY valid points. Be more transparent and open your communications. Hey even answer the phone once in a while or return calls or texts even. It seems every phone call goes to a voicemail and sometimes the box is full.

As paying customers both old and new we deserve that much courtesy and respect. MTFBWY.

Officially at 1 month on my RGB Aeon v2. Must have patience, it shouldn't be long now.

After a certain point, I'll want to send an email to see if maybe the hilt or a part is holding it up, but I don't think anytime before 6 weeks is reasonable. I want to keep the emails to a minimum, but if the Aeon hilt is what's holding it up, I'd be cool with the Dominix v2 or an LE hilt as a substitute if available.

But at the same time, part of me wants to see what happens on Saturday with thier website.
With any luck, there WON'T be yet another promotion and I can relax knowing they will be using the lack of incoming orders to get caught up.
On the other hand, Saturday is the first day of Summer, so I'm actually expecting the "sounds of summer 15% off" sale or something like it. That will make being patient a bit more difficult.

Well, according to the store website, everything I ordered is still in stock....for whatever that's worth.

On a separate subject, is anyone else having an excited, Pavlov's Dog kind of reaction when they get an email notification, that it might possibly be THE email, or is it just me?

Unfortunately a hilt being in stock on the website seems to mean jack squat as far as I'm concerned.
If it's out, it's out, but I've had at least 2 orders in the past 6 months that "suddenly" went out of stock, despite being in stock when I ordered and still showed in stock when US emailed me with alternate options.

US gave me great alternate options each time, so I'm grateful for that, but it's made me paranoid about each order now.
We all can guess that they are starting to run out of hilts as we know they are limiting access to the machine to protect their employees.
The Aeon/Dominix v2s are the only "low end" hilts with the RGB option and that option also requires Guarded switches as the AV switches are too big.
The last 4 sabers I've ordered had AV switches upgraded for free and I can only assume it's because they ran out of Guarded switches.

So I'm hesitant to bother emailing them about it because I know it's either a parts shortage or a hilt shortage issue and neither can be solved with alternate options.
It's just the waiting stinks. My limit is 2 months though, so at the very latest I'll send one then

We (my friends & I) haven't placed an order yet, but are planning to within a week or so. We're going to be getting 3 stunt sabers, one of them a customized Apprentice LE v5, and 2 of them Grab Bags with one selected Consular Green color and the other selected as Blazing Red. The Apprentice hilt will be Adegan Silver with color discs. As said, they're all going to be stunt sabers, and the only additional bell or whistle any of them has is an included wrench with one of the Grab Bags. Does anyone know what a rough estimate of a processing time for these would be? We'd all appreciate knowing a ballpark of when we might be able to expect these.

First of all, welcome to your new obsession.   And I genuinely mean that in friendship.

As for a waiting time....seriously, our Magic 8-Balls cracked and leaked out some time ago.  The company gives everyone an "estimated" wait time of 3-4 weeks, some have gotten theirs sooner, most of us will be waiting longer.  There's no guarantee right now, and i'm sure you'll understand why as you peruse this forum.

That's not to say you shouldn't place your order, though.  I'm just saying, prepare for a wait.  But as others will tell you, the wait is worth it.

Agreed  with Jedi_Phoenix, there really is no good way to estimate a processing time. The hilts you order might be available to put together, or they may have to machine it from scratch. Could take 3 weeks, could be 2 months.

As difficult as it is, truly the best thing to do is place your order and forget about it for at least 2 months.
If you can figure out how to do that, I'm sure we'd all like to know how  ;D

Man, I feel really bad for people who order sabers for specific events or as gifts.
It seems like no matter who you order from, whether US or the other guys, if you don't order at least 6 months in advance, you risk not getting them by the time you need them.

Custom sabers is a hobby for those with more patience than today's society fosters.

It's been quite some time since I've ordered a new saber, so I guess you can say that this time around I went a little Mynock sh*t crazy. When the bug bites, sometimes it bites hard.

My first order is for a pair of Dark initiates, V5. I went with Bane's heart and obsidian lite on the first one, and just Guardian blue/no sound on the second. I also got the vented coupler, just in case. I neglected to order FOC for bane's heart and have tried contacting US about that, but we all know how that's going right now.

I made my second order a few days later. Dominix v5, Orange with lite sound for my wife, and the Manticore in blue violet with lite sound for myself. Both will have silver FOC. I also added some color discs and a pair of dark initiate v4 pommels just for experimenting and extra options.

I wouldn't say I'm waiting patiently though. There's also a pair of free initiates and a grab bag saber as well. Since I ordered them so close together, I'm hoping that US is gonna throw in that free mystery box, but we'll see how that goes.

I was originally gonna get the manticore with emerald, but my wife made me feel guilty and I had to buy her a saber as well, but the more i thought about it, the more i realized that my Dark initiate, and her dominix would compliment each other very well, and make for a unique staff set up. I plan on ordering  the grand master, Reaper, empress and spectre in the future, so I can always opt for emerald then.

Thanks both of you for your input at least. I ordered one stunt saber for myself initially, the Dark Apprentice v3 with an Arctic Blue blade. Pulled it out, much to my friends' surprise, at a backyard campout activity and quickly got them on board with a second group order. I'm guessing it won't be here in time for our next celebration in ~1 month, but I suppose we'll see. As for putting it out of our minds as we wait... My best guess is don't look at anything SW related and just binge, like, Stranger Things or something.

Unfortunately, I play in a SW-themed Dungeons & Dragons game, so I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to manage it  :P

The term we used to use, back when I worked in the hospitality industry, was: 'Under promise, and over deliver'.

If you know your lead time is 5 weeks.. you tell the customers 7-8 weeks, that way YOU, set the expectation.. and then make yourself look stellar if you deliver what you've promised, before that deadline is met.


Now then, the rest is a bit long winded.. feel free to tune out, or go to the TLDR section, at the end ;)


Right now, Ultrasabers is potentially the victim of their own success.. and it's clearly being shown, based on how they're handling damage control.


A prime example... if you can't keep up, or meet your own orders right NOW.. don't run a sale that's going to get you thousands of more orders. (Especially if you can't guarantee if/when they will be filled)

Doing stuff like that, falls tremendously close to actions that start getting compliance investigators looking at you.   (I speak from personal experience)


Ultrasabers could REALLY use a good PR Manager, right now. There's a lot of things that could be done to make things a bit more tolerable to those that have already given their money (many of which, may actually be experiencing financial issues, now, with the Covid fallout, themselves), and while many of us are just quietly exercising patience, I fully understand why some people are upset.

I have to admit, even I'm starting to get a bit twitchy.

I specifically didn't order a custom saber, because I wanted to see the quality for myself, in person. Custom products take a while, and I purchased 3 mystery boxes in early May, simply due to the fact that I understood that supply issues might be impacting the custom orders. So.. the simplest way to order would be 3 mystery boxes, with emitter plugs.. just to throw some extra money US's way. (I have multiple 3D printers.. printing an emitter cover is trivial)

However, I now suspect that mystery boxes are produced, much in the way Frankensabers are. Extra/leftover parts, that are used to quickly assemble a product that can be sold. It's a great way to reduce waste, if you can find a way to reuse parts/products that are returned or unused. It also keeps production costs down, since you can make deals with parts suppliers to supply you with X amount of parts, every Y amount of time.... (eg: 'If you're willing to accept 300 aluminum rods, every 2 weeks, we'll make the cost at $5 per rod.. otherwise, it'll be $8 per rod)

By finding a way to keep that inventory constantly moving, you don't have to have as much storage costs, and you can keep that cost, overall, down.. even if you're not making as much, per part shipment as you could/would if every part was sold at max value.

Now, I SUSPECT (based on what I know of logistics and business) that Ultrasabers is experiencing a shortage of crucial components, that are necessary to most orders. Based on that, it's most cost effective for them to use their parts for the products that are going to give them the most return for the parts... which is likely why we're seeing some customers get their orders placed and shipped in a matter of days, vs those that have been on 'processing' for weeks/months. It would also explain why some customers are getting responses from customer support, more than others.

If the above is correct, and I suspect SOME of it is, then I understand the business behind the decisions that US are making. It keeps them operational, and keeps their employees.. employed.

However, IF this is what Ultrasabers is doing (and, again, I suspect some of it IS).. then those users that ordered non cost effective items (such as 3 mystery boxes, like I've ordered) will be considered 'lowest priority', and, as such, will be processed dead last. (The company is making less money on those products, per saber, than the others)


Now.. here's the BIG problem with that... Customer loyalty.

You see a lot of users, here, that are defending US to the death... because they're repeat customers. A customer, who has had constant stellar experiences with a company, is more likely to put up with the occasional delay, than one person who has just started doing business with that same company, and immediately has issues. That is a potentially lost customer, that won't be back. In some cases, a company doesn't care.. because a one off customer, isn't really a loss, anyway. (the term that the hospitality industry used, was 'transient customers')

Unfortunately, however, there WILL be repeat customers in that mix, too.. that would have gotten their first order, and are so amazed with the result, they buy more... OR, even more importantly, they start to become a vocal word of mouth advertising for a company/product. That can actually become an immeasurable loss of revenue.

So.. that's where PR comes in.. a PR manager will produce simple updates, and methods of making potentially unhappy customers calm... AND, they have the ability to take a calm/patient customer, and make them a brand fanatic.

Heck, even explaining things in a logical manner (as many of us have done), in an OFFICIAL capacity, can calm down a number of disgruntled customers, who are just looking for explanations.

The PR aspect is what US is missing, right now, unfortunately... which is somewhat weird, because Emory is apparently a Social Media fan, and likes documenting things regarding his company... think of all of the unveiling videos and such, that he's done in the past.. you'd think he'd take an opportunity like this, to get some face time with the customers and help diffuse any tensions that customers may have. *Shrug*


TL;DR - UltraSabers needs to communicate with their customers better, even if it's to explain (in detail) whats going on with orders that have been 'processing' for more than the usual amount of time.

Gotta say I agree, some clarity would be nice. SMH

I guess I have to agree Galef, although I hadn't even placed my first order 6 months ago, lol. I ordered 4 initiates May 14th hoping to have them for some younglings at a camp I'm going to be at in two weeks. Today being the start of week 6 still puts the start of camp 8 weeks away from my order being placed.

TL;DR There's plenty of time, but I'm starting to feel the pressure.  ;D

haha i agree with what Caspien said about their customer service...

Im on week 10 of waiting for my lightsaber and I'm a first time customer. I thought "processing" meant there was a problem but I guess its just what everyone gets.. lol

my friend ordered his in may and already got it but I'm still waiting pfft. kinda annoying let me just say. I didn't even get sound and he did which makes It more ???

its lil frustrating. if their emails were maybe a lil better or more informative then I wouldn't be so wOrried but I am (oops) I'm ok with waiting don't get me wrong but,,, when the company is silent, doesn't respond, you get no info for weeks about this product you ordered that is $100+,,, yea I'm annoyed and stressed LOL

Well, I leave for my trip tomorrow at noon. I bought a cheap Saber off Amazon that has FOC a recharge port, you name it.... Oh and 7 sound fonts and what not. For such a cheap Saber it is packed with features... But the construction, just like the price is CHEAP lol.

Really bumbed that my US sabers aren't here. Approaching week 7 and with the 3-4 week lead time I believe some transparency would do lots of good for US.... Got another trip at week 8... At that point I'll be 2x past their lead time.

Post by: DarthRondoudou on June 19, 2020, 02:50:49 PM
I can relate to the people getting antsy about their ordered lightsaber.
It's my first time with US, but not my first "custom" saber. And my first one took his sweet time.
As others said before me, responding to emails takes time. Stock management is not always what we want it to be.
As for US multiplying promotions... Well in those covid times it allows them to keep their business afloat.
That being said, it's easy (well not really, like most people I can't wait to get status update, shipping info, etc.) for me to say so because I do not have a particular event to attend or stuff like that.

Then again, my feedback on custom sabers, from US, the other guys or other custom builders online, is to anticipate whatever deadline you may have by a huge margin. Which is not always promotion compatible or even achievable.

Don't despair. They will arrive =)

update : Oh, and hum, I am (im)patiently waiting for my black empress no engravings with sound and fire orange blade.

I keep seeing the "no transparency" popping up and I honestly am at a loss.  They have been pretty damn transparent from what I can see.  They have posted about the production hold ups, the issues caused by the Pandemic and even their E-Mail fiasco recently.   Even the fact none of them have had a real day off since December because of it.  I dunno how much more transparent they could get.

I'm not gonna name names but I've seen other companies that simply do better with more communication. Simple things like "hey this is is where we're at" or a social media post every now and then to remind customers of the situation, particularly new ones go a long way towards easing people's anxieties. None of these posts are readily available anywhere for someone who is new to the company and their product, so any new orders that are going weeks without answered emails or a real expectation of when the product is realistically gonna get into the customer's hands are gonna have unhappy customers and antsy people.

Though it does not account for every delay as I've seen people that are waiting for more than that.
I had to wait more than 6 months for my dooku style saber from the other guys. They did answer my emails and provided explantations for the delays.
I don't know how similar the two companies are regarding employees, staff etc.
So, if US are short staffed, focusing on production rather than answering emails is logical I guess. =)

Exactly this. The onus really shouldn’t be on the customer to go dig for that kind of information, and not every one off buyer has a forum account. Even an automated email would do the trick (like the ones I frequently get for their constant promotional sales?). But I agree that they’re likely understaffed.

I get that but as someone already said, the onus should not be on the customer to search for that info in a forum that is described as having no super official connection to US and is more of a fan forum. It's great to have the venue to speak but it's not like there's an US team member that chimes into the conversation periodically and it's also not an easy place to find. If a customer isn't aware of the forum they'd never know and only have a bad experience waiting for their item to arrive one day.

Upon further reflexion you are quite right. I doubt most customers created an account on the forum or looked for the answer here.
Though the fact they are probably understaffed and can't answer to every email they receive still stands.

the person above said they ordered a phantom initiative 4 staff May 3rd with no sound,,, PLUS other things

I ordered that too (the phantom 4 with no sound and that's it) on April 19th.. and Its till processing...

no hate to you but that's why I'm kinda salty LOL i ordered it (and it was very basic cause i wanted to save some money so its not like a special order or nothing) but others are getting their orders before me?? Its weird and rubbing me wrong

I'm laughing tho cause I can't do much but wait i suppose cause emails do nothing haha! Hopefully, it'll be worth it tho :)

I don't imagine that build has a lot of bearing on the wait time. Obviously some hilts and components must be harder to get but I'm on week 5 of waiting on a Dark Apprentice V4 stunt saber. The only two things I can imagine slowing that down are the emitter windows and the tri-cree LEDs. Orders are going out tho!

from my observation in reading who has received their orders its all about the smaller components such as certain led colors or parts that need to be sent out to be anodized example i have seen the staff i ordered on 5/8  being  received but with miner differences then mine in as little as 2 weeks so there you have it we will all get our items

My recent order was all no sound also. Took almost 8 weeks.
Assembly wasnt that great either. One of the pummels was loose, one of the ultra edge wrapping paper inside the blade was loose and I had to gap fill it and my 3rd blade had a loose light that rattled everytime you swung it.

I wont be ordering from these guys again. Just not worth it.

it really wouldn't take much effort for us to announce via email, "we are currently experiencing delays with the following componants and as such many orders are taking longer than usual." update the in stock/out of stock sabers and componants on the site. AND STOP RUNNING PROMOS!!!!! just stop production for a day or 2 and do a full on stocktake. a few days of extended production time is not going to cause much issue, considering the weeks and months some have been waiting especially if they tell everyone via email that this is what is happening.
an email explaining everything and a proposed course of action is the type of transparency many people are after, i think the majority of people will be understanding and appreciative of something like this. if they continue the way they are, in my opinion, they will lose more and more customers to the point of losing some of their staunchest supporters.

Sunday will be the 5 week mark for (2) $75 mystery boxes. You would think this would have been a simple order. Now I'm hoping that with the current delays that that they will pull from the not-so-often pulled hilt shelf.  ;) Patiently waiting ...

I'm actually wondering how/why the spring giveaway orders are showing up, with mystery boxes, and those that ordered straight mystery boxes, before the giveaway even started, are still sitting here waiting for their orders.

When a mystery box is ordered, does their order system generate a truly random order, and the parts are pre allocated, or are they bumping the spring giveaways up in line?

If it's the latter, that would be an extreme ethics issue, and would be one of the few things that might turn me from patiently waiting, to being an irate customer.

Again... US explaining discrepancies, like this, would go a long way to calming people down.

I've officially calmly requested a status update on my order, twice now, with radio silence as a response.

I had ordered a mystery box sabe on 4/26 and received it on 5/6.

However now I am waiting on my diamond The Fallen saber.
I got my first order very quickly. Guess that was just luck!!

Still waiting....it will be mine. Oh yes. Lol. Eventually!

Sure enough, we've got a new giveaway going on....

Although, to be honest, this one doesn't seem as attractive to me as the last one.  15% off a sound saber is one thing, but you've got to spend $700 for a grab bag saber, and $1000 for a mystery box?  You can order either of those at a fraction of the cost.  $400 gets you an $8 blade plug?  Hmmm...

Or maybe I'm just being picky and hoping they don't get slammed this time around and can get caught up on their outstanding orders, LOL....

I actually think I may buy my final Wishlisted saber with this promo. I was going to wait till the next Raffle but at 15% and free shipping, I can buy the saber I want and use the reward points I've saved for a Grab bag without blade.

I was going to do the same when the Raffle came, but that may be months away and it's only 10% off, with no guarantee of winning anything.
I haven't won either of the Raffles I've entered so far, and at this point I just want to "finish" my collection of sabers.

I'm still waiting on my RGB Aeon v2 and was planning on selling my non-US RGB saber once it came, but I think I'll just sell it now to fund most of my final saber (Wishlisted in my signature below)

Makes me think they got phished, and whoever helped them get cleaned up, didn't know to go in and clean up mail filters the scammer/phisher set up.

Would also explain how they lost all their email on the 25th of May, too.

Hey guys! Thought I'd jump on the boat here with everyone else in expressing how EXCITED I am for my first-ever Custom Lightsaber! Glad I got to jump on the Spring Sale and pick up a beautiful Grand Master hilt! I can't wait to see it and hold it and yadda-yadda. Definitely plan on doing an unboxing AND review!

ABSOLUTELY NOT complaining about wait times! I know it's a sale event (with another already started!) and the 'Rona has got us acting up something fierce, so things are definitely wonky right now. So I know extended wait times are already looking to extend even longer! Just throwing in there that my order date was May 30th and that I'm still counting on my custom and the extra saber thrown in. Still at "Processing." :)

The only thing I'm worried about is e-mail responses, which I see has been echoed above. I did e-mail early after making my order to try to make an alteration, but I didn't receive a response. I've e-mailed two (2!) times since then but I still haven't received a response. :( I wanted to add Flash on Clash after reading about how awesome an addition it made the experience of having one of these custom Ultrasabers. Maybe someone from Customer Service will see this? Hehe. Like I said, I know things are tight and busy right now! But still... Oof.

Whelp, I bit the bullet and bought another saber.

So, (im)Patiently waiting for my new Emerald Sound Emperor's Hand that I purchased a minute ago.

Edit: Just to add on, this saber purchase is kind of important for me.  I won't explain why at the moment, as I will be debating on whether or not to do a video review of it or just post the pictures and explain it that way.  But yeah, I'm happy that this next event was a % off event, because it made the purchase a little bit easier on the old wallet.

After seeing others ask about spam filters, I emailed from another account this afternoon.  Just pointed out I ordered on 4/18 and understood the shortages and extended time, but after the lost emails and getting that delivery confirmation email, I was concerned something went wrong.  An hour or so later I got an email saying my order was completed and a tracking number was assigned. 

Obviously I am pleased, and glad they could jump on it so quickly when a potential problem (as opposed to me  just nagging them again about the wait) was raised.  Thanks, all, for providing the place to vent and armchair quarterback, as well as the reality checks!

so almost 6 weeks after my order, i get an email saying that the fallen hilt is out of stock, despite being listed as in stock when i ordered and as of the time of posting this, is still listed as available on the site.
i am sorry but that is utter b.s. ultrasabers needs to get their stuff together.
yes i was given the option to swap hilts (but the only other hilts of interest to me are the dominicide or flamberge se, which are more expensive than the fallen i ordered.)
or to wait the 4-6 weeks more it will take to get the fallen in stock.
i am not happy and i am seriously considering if i will ever deal with u.s again. the way u.s are handling this whole situation is completely amateur.

Got an order unexpectedly quickly (a week or so after ordering) but received the wrong item.  I mostly order empty hilts from US now, and this hilt has the wrong type of switch hole.  I don't have the right tools to work with this hole.  This is the second time this has happened to me, the first time they never got back to me within their 3 day return window.  Shot an email to info and shipping about this most recent order, hopefully they get back to me within their return deadline.  I also asked about the previous order, though that was months ago at this point so I don't really care about that one too much.  Wish me luck!

I agree. It's only the second time I order a custom saber, but no matter the company, it always takes time. Patience is key.

Tomorrow will be the start of week 7 for me. I've had one bulk email explaining the 3-4wk lead time, and zero replies to any other correspondence otherwise (I've sent two emails, one at the 3 week mark, another last week.)

I'm trying to remain patient, but it is getting a tad frustrating. I ordered an apprentice le v5, no sound or diamond/emerald led. Just basic stunt saber, blazing orange, no extras.

Really have no choice but to keep waiting, but this really blows.

My Facebook messages don't get me anything but a automated message or a give me 2 days to look up whats going and then never get a reply. I don't mind waiting as long as I know why. I've heard rumors that the black empress is sold out, which is one of the sabers I ordered. If it is i just want to know that I'll be waiting longer. I know that with everything in the world going on it going to take longer and if thats the I only reason then awesome, but if there's other things going on I'd like to know.

Well the deed is done. Couldn't resist ordering my final saber to complete my collection. Hopefully my wife doesn't kill me.

I hope it arrives before I move as the misses and I are in the process of getting our first house. If not, I'll have to email them to update the mailing address. Not looking forward to that uncertainty.

I also ordered a blade-less Grab Bag right after that. With all the reward points I've been saving, it only cost $12 + shipping. I can't beat that.

I was going to wait for the next Raffle, but 15% is better than 10% and I'll get my final wishlist saber sooner. And without the disappointment of not winning like the last 2 Raffles.

So I'm super excited to get my first saber. I ordered the mystery box cause I like the idea that the saber color chooses you. I'm going to modify my medieval power ranger cosplay slightly so on day 2 of a convention I can switch from medieval to jedi. I want to make it more a jedi guard, and I'm going to cut up my t rex molded head to either go around the blade as it comes out, or ill put it on the end with the cap.
I'm just super antsy in the pantsy to get started. I order the mystery box on may 5th and unfortunately have gotten zilch on the update front. I just wanna update man 😭, lol(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200622/9504fa24f64ad26577fb5db84b68848b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200622/f144434a889ad52ea437b1bd0dd0b8b9.jpg)

Totally understand. I've been very calm and understanding during this whole thing, even used logic to attempt to explain the 'why'... but when someone orders a plain 'mystery box', before the summer giveaway started.. and then starts seeing people, who ordered during the summer giveaway, receiving their 'free' mystery boxes.. my patience fuse is lit.

The complete and utter radio silence from Ultrasabers, other than the automated response on facebook, is not only disheartening, it's downright frustrating.

The icing on the cake, is that 2 weeks after ordering my mystery boxes from Ultrasabers, I ordered a pre-order saber from one of 'the other guys', and it's due to arrive, tomorrow.  Pre-order... with custom options added... and yet, mystery boxes, which SHOULD be one of the easiest things to fulfill... hasn't shown up, yet.

Meanwhile, there are numerous users reporting and showing off their custom sabers, frankensabers, grab bags, and mystery boxes.. from the summer sale.. that happened WELL after many of us already had orders in.

I get that not all orders are subject to the same limits/issues, due to the fact that different parts could be on back order.. but can someone PLEASE explain to me, logically, how people who placed custom orders, with 'mystery boxes' attached to them.. are getting their mystery boxes, BEFORE the people that actually PAID for them?!?

Yeah, there was a saber I saw from "the other guys" that was basically a lightsaber rapier.  I LOVE rapiers ever since I first saw "The Princess Bride" and have always wanted one and the fact that it was a lightsaber as well, just ticked every box for me.  I so wanted to order, but like 3/4 of their inventory is Out of Stock.  Guess I'll just have to wait and hopefully they'll get what they need for it back in or something.

Just to add some perspective, I placed an order 5 weeks ago, then another order today. There's a difference of 20,000 between my order numbers.
I'm pretty sure that means they've taken 20,000 orders in the past 5 weeks.

Just to add some perspective, I placed an order 5 weeks ago, then another order today. There's a difference of 20,000 between my order numbers.
I'm pretty sure that means they've taken 20,000 orders in the past 5 weeks.

Ay, marron....and we wonder why its taking so long to get things processed...

Right, and even though some of those orders may be for just parts or even just requisition chargers to make changes to other orders, there's likely that many more orders for multiple sabers.
We can probably assume that over 20,000 orders represents twice that many sabers. Especially since the last few promos have all included free sabers with certain purchase amounts.

That's a crazy amount of sabers to have to essentially scratch build (because at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if their stocks are all but depleted).
As excited as I am to get my RGB Aeon v2 I ordered 5 weeks ago and the Crimson Scorpion I ordered today, I'm trying to keep my expectations around 2 months before I bug US about them.

Title: Frustrated with the wait
Post by: sad39 on June 22, 2020, 08:06:25 PM
This will likely fall on deaf ears. But I am infinitely frustrated by the lack of timeliness and email response.

I have 2 sons. One ordered 2 sabers on May 7. They were delivered on May 30.
The other son ordered 2 sabers on May 11. They have NOT been delivered, it is June 22.
My kids ordered a saber for me for fathers day on June 5, and the tracking says it will be here on June 24.

Why would my order on May 11 still be unfulfilled after 6 weeks? They are not out of stock (DominixLEv5 and Dark Sentinel LEv5 with no real custom add ons).

The customer service email responded at the 4 week mark, but nothing to my recent complaints.

See.. that's just it... if a lot of these are custom sabers, I totally understand the backlog... truth is, I understand backlogs across the entire spectrum... however, that still doesn't explain how people who ordered, during the giveaway, are getting their orders (including Mystery boxes and grab bags) before those that ordered simple grab bag or mystery boxes, weeks before that giveaway even started.

(I'm officially on week 6, will be week 7 in 2 days.. for 3 mystery boxes. Don't know if what I added to my order has made it harder to fulfill, or what.. but I'd think 3 plugs and standard blades wouldn't make it that hard to fill... especially when those same plugs and blades are visible in the giveaway unboxings that are showing up, online)

I'm a patient and reasonable guy, but when I start seeing people 'cut in line', as it were.. I tend to start getting less patient and reasonable.

Fact is, US had some people's money before others... and processing those original purchaser's products later, is the kind of practice that drives customers away... based on the quality of the US Sabers I bought, second hand, I really hope that's not the case.. as I tend to think their product is good quality. *shrug*

Truth is, my wife and daughter were originally quite excited about this, when I ordered, it indicated a 3-5 week turnaround, if memory serves (may have been 4-5). Now that their excitement has worn off, due to US setting an expectation level that they didn't meet, I've been getting grief over it. Couple that, with ZERO communication... and yeah.. definitely starting to feel irritation kicking in. I've been devil's advocate, this entire time, and it always feels wrong, when you're the one getting the short end of the.. saber..? lol


EDIT: Got a response from Facebook...

"Thank you for your order with Ultrasabers.  At Ultrasabers we typically are able to get all of our orders shipped out with 1-3 business days, however with the current world events we have faced many delays and stock issues due to limiting staff to ensure distancing both at the workshop and machine shop to keep everyone healthy and safe.  And due to this unprecedented event we have a lead time of an estimated 4 weeks."

4 week lead time? Uggghhg... I don't think so. ANYONE on here had a 4 week turnaround, at ALL?

I ordered 2 sabers at the last few weeks of January (I think), one a custom and one a Mystery Sound Box.  Took until March until I got them and that was after I emailed them to ask for an update on the status of them.  Not a bad turnaround time, I like to think, considering the backlog from Xmas orders and orders made after Episode 9 came out.  Not sure how long the one I ordered a few days ago will take, as it's an Emerald one.  Guess I'll wait and see.

1 MB w/ sound
1 sale free initiate
1 4th tier raffle GB saber.
Not too shabby for a 1st order. I hope you ALL get your emails very soon especially those of you have been listening and reasoning with my emotional roller coaster all this time. Thanks for letting me vent ladies and lads!!!

That's actually a pretty good turn around, IMHO, for a custom saber :) Did you manage to get your emerald ordered during the giveaway?

I ordered it at the beginning of this current one.  15% off and free shipping is too much of a good deal to pass up.  Didn't get the free Blade Plug, because with the deal, it came under $400, but I have 2 Plugs already so I'm not hurting about that.

I'm going to be a little tapped for money because of this, but I can start saving up for my next one which I already know what I'm getting.

Exact same specs? If so.. That's kind of what I've been suspecting is going on (perhaps their ordering system is borked)

Still trying to make sense of it.. I mean, I get that not every saber has the same parts and order status.. but when you're talking 2 of the EXACT same thing.. (or 2 mystery boxes... or 2 grab bags) Then things start to venture into the 'HUH?!?!' territory.

I keep hoping there's a rhyme or reason to it.. but I've not found any, yet.

First off, customer service is not reached through the forum, there is virtually no chance that anyone at US will see this post. That being said if you have already contacted them through Facebook and "[email protected]" (the only working email) then your only option is to wait for a response. There are many, many people that are in the same boat.

Hang in there! If you are at the 6wk mark then give it 1-2 more if you really want the sabers.

A lot of ERP systems also skip by the hundreds or thousands to avoid getting order numbers too close together. It makes it a million times easier for the processing teams.



I actually placed 2 separate orders today (so I could use the points on the second order) and the 6 digit order numbers where 1 digit off. Not tens, not hundreds, nor thousands. One.
It's very believable that they take orders for thousands of sabers a month. Especially considering "the other guys" are mostly out of stock and processing times for them are in the MONTHS not weeks.

If anything, US is suffering from their own success.
Would it be nice if they advertised longer lead times to set better expectations? Sure
Should they cool it with the promos so they can get caught up and manufacture more back stock? Probably
Could they hire more CSRs to answer emails in a more timely manner? Maybe
Do they still make a product that is as good or better than their competitors at a much faster rate? Absolutely!

And yes, 7-10 weeks is still much faster than 3-6 months, so it could worse

And yes, the promos. But you know what, despite that it sucks thinking about them still working on your blade and they're probably gonna get flooded with a shell-ton more orders, they get me.   I end up begging a grab bag or an emerald with no sound.   I guess the less complex blades come pretty quick.   I got a grab bag saber in a week.   Like 6 days 😆

No way. You have to remember that US is a small time shop run by some not-so-good people. Their employee turnover is high and the workplace atmosphere is pretty bad. Yes the owner is making a killing off of us but his crew are not. There is no indication that in US's history that they operate efficiently or reliably as you can see in the 7-8 week processing times.

Their order processing system is likely full of order errors. That is the reason for the order number jumps. A lot of ERP systems also skip by the hundreds or thousands to avoid getting order numbers too close together. It makes it a million times easier for the processing teams.



I'm not certain where you are getting your information, but at least certain details are baseless and deliberately antagonistic.  As a customer of three years I can tell you unequivocally that US's "efficiency history" is well earned in that--with the lone exception of the Spring Raffle--my orders have processed in 1-2 weeks where I have the saber(s) in hand by that time.

Now, due to several mitigating circumstances, my last two purchases took 6 weeks.  This is not a problem for me--I'm patient--especially when you consider the backlog created by Christmas, Episode IX, the global pandemic, and the collective loss of emails prior to 25 May 2020.  And if you're using processing time(s) as the sole indicator for efficiency, then you should know that US's competition takes months, not weeks, to assemble and ship. 

Maybe I'm wrong and you possess firsthand knowledge of US's inner workings but, judging from your erroneous statement, you're not completely familiar with Ultrasabers or the attendant logistics. 

I do hope that you are able to achieve satisfaction with your order.  Good luck.

I ordered a $75 mystery box 5 weeks ago and its still is in processing, no reply to emails or anything. I see all the time where they seem to be fulfilling orders that came in after. Its a mystery box! Seems to me, the more money you spend the sooner you'll get it whereas a order for a $75 mystery box gets thrown on the back burner.

I can tell you that is not the case. I spent over $1000 for my order and yet to have process from May the 5th, though after enough near begging I did get one of my questions answered via email. I had to ask on Facebook to get a rep to reply to my email. And while it took forever to do so it made me feel 100 times better about my order. Now if only I could get an update as to when my order may be ready to ship.

Rush options typically don't affect production time. It's a shipping thing instead. So you could have a rush order but it doesn't mean you'll get it produced any sooner if the lead time is 5-7 weeks.

Post by: Galef on June 23, 2020, 02:21:59 PM
Right, the rush option doesn't put you at the front of the line, it just expedites shipping once complete.

What's more likely happening is that thier MB stock is depleted and there's now a long line of orders that US has to fill per order. So MBs are likely not "ready to ship" anymore because once they build a few, they're gone.

Logically, bigger orders have a higher likelihood of being delayed due to a parts shortage.
It doesn't matter if you spent more $$$, if a part/hilt needed to complete a single one of your sabers is out, your whole order is "pended" while waiting for that part or parts.
So US will move onto the next order if it can be completed.

THAT is most likely why orders seem to be shipping out of sequence.

That's also why the last few orders I've placed were 1 saber each order. That way a delay on a single saber doesn't hold up my others.

.. and yet, as has been pointed out.. people who ordered during the Spring Giveaway, are receiving their orders (with mystery boxes) before those that ordered mystery boxes, days and weeks before the Spring Giveaway even started.

THAT is the ONLY reason I have any concern/frustration. When you see unboxing videos of people who ordered AFTER those who were already waiting, receiving the EXACT product the original people paid for.

Now, if we are talking 2 different orders.. then so be it.. makes sense.. maybe a part for a hilt is out of stock, maybe a certain LED combination.. sound board.. etc.. But a mystery box, is literally just that.. while they may produce 2 very different sabers, the expectation is the same product... a blind purchase of a random saber.

I've attempted, with no real success, to find out why some orders, that are exactly the same, haven't been filled.. and yet, others have. Is it a blade length difference in the mystery box order? The fact that someone ordered plugs, and others didn't?  Literally, other than the blade type and plugs or not.. that's the only real explanation I have for why a later order would be bumped.

I'm still baffled just trying to comprehend HOW/WHY that has been happening. I have a few theories (and the 'Customer B spent more than Customer A', is one of them), but am keeping most to myself.

No, trust me, that's not how they're doing things. I'll leave it at that.

Honestly, if you have some insight.. please let some of us know. Not knowing the logic is partially why so many of us are losing our minds.

(insert meme of Heath Ledger as the joker)

I'm one of those types, if a logical explanation is given, my brain stops running in an endless 'If then else' loop.

... or for those of you who learned 'Basic', this is what my brain does, when there isn't a 'why' given":

5 Print "What's the logic?!?!?"
10 Goto 5


... and that's what goes on in my head ;) (Yes.. I have OCD issues.. leave me alone ;p

No insight at all, I'm just speaking as someone who laid out a pretty large chunk of change for my order (ordering for 5 people) and if your theory was true, I'd have received my order some time ago.  Instead, I'm playing the waiting game the same as everyone else.   And if playing the waiting game means I get a flawless 5-star order, then I'll play.

now just cause im the curious type i did a little research on US now im not responsible for information being outdated

Ultra saber employs 9  full time people, has a 4,000 sqr ft building and generates aprox 1 mil in yearly gross sales all that being said they are a small operation . now dont get all up arms at that 1 mil a year number thats not what they put in thier pockets , I run a small company around same size and numbers and on average i cut 10% profit on a good year now each industry is different  basicly the owners make a decent living . Given such a niche company living and dieing on a movie franchise. hard to predict demand and plan for the future moves, do i expand, hire ,update my equipment, medical insurance etc etc . now throw in covid-19 situation, import issues it becomes a nightmare. Reps dealing with a  tech issues ( mail failure ) i dont envy them at all , they are not a fly by night operation as they have been around for a while as you can easily tell by the long term customers here on this board. So relax guys/gals  they are doing the best they can. Now of course  ( im going to be a smartass here ) drive down to their the place and help them for free .

If you have a backlog of orders and continue sending out new advertisements with new deals while taking new orders then your never going to complete your backlog, your going to constantly be behind. On top of that, ignoring inquiring emails to peoples orders isn't going to help either. A Mystery Box can be any hilt, so theirs really no reason to say their out of stock for that item when their fulfilling many other orders that aren't mystery boxes.

Nope, only the shipping.   I did the 7-10 day ground option from FedEx to try and save a little bit of money.  Wasn't comfortable using USPS as a delivery system for this haul.

Look....even under optimal perfect circumstances, there would be a backlog; maybe a week or two instead of several weeks or a month or two.  The difference here is, circumstances are anything but optimal.  Which results in the backlog they have now.  Stopping new orders from coming in so they can take care of the orders they've got...I don't think any business does that.  If US did, you think they're getting bad reviews now?  They'd get absolutely crucified if they pulled that stunt.

The email issue is a whole separate matter, and yes I'll agree that it is an issue.  The waiting time however....yes, it may suck, but that's  how it is.  The only thing they as a company, or any company can do, is work on taking care of orders as quickly as possible.   Putting a halt on new orders coming in is something that no business will ever do.

To completely stop taking orders would be a bad idea. However, going 2-3 weeks without a promo running would help immensely. It would allow them to keep taking orders but slow the avalanche to something manageable.
They could monitor their progress and as soon as they start getting caught up, put up another amazing sale.

Having back to back sales/promos is great, but if you can't handle the incoming business, maybe take a break from those sales for a while?

I would argue that simply posting accurate leadtimes (especially during sales) would go a long way to set a realistic expectation... but, instead, they're still telling users that it's a 4 week turnaround, (That's the only real communication I've gotten) when that's CLEARLY not the case..


Tell customers: 'Hey, we're extremely backlogged right now, if you place an order, today, you're likely not going to get your shipment for 10 weeks.'.... and then deliver as quickly as possible.

THAT is the type of thing that makes customers super happy... under promising, and over delivering... Instead, currently, they seem to be over promising and under delivering... which I believe is where the majority of frustration comes from (from personal experience, I HATE it when a company sets one expectation, and then fails to live up to what they claimed).

3: They are very behind on emails but they will respond in time
4: orders are not fulfilled by date orderd some will get their sabers faster then other depending on there current inventory of parts

I was told a few days ago via email that the black and silver fallen hilt was out of stock. Yet people can still order it online. I have heard the same is true of the Dominicide. This is what really p!$$#$ me off. Let's say they have 100 fallen hilts, black and silver, then they should have the website setup to mark it as out of stock once 100 orders have been made for it.
As it stands, I could go on the site, order a Dominicide or fallen and it won't be  a month or 2 before I find out they have none in stock and I will need to wait another 1-2 months before I can get my saber.
In this current time, a lot of people have lost jobs, people are stressed. I purchased my fallen saber because I had lost my job due to the covid-19 pandemic. My kids were forced into home schooling due to schools closing. I shouted myself something as a cheer me up..... But that has only led to more frustrations and anger. U.S took my money and have done a pretty poor job of treating me as a customer.

So instead of reveling in the anticipation of getting that Golden Ticket of an email telling you that your gift to yourself is on the way, and instead of letting your mind run away  with all the fun you're going to have with your lightsaber, you're choosing to let yourself get pissed off over having to wait longer than you normally would have.

I'm sorry, this is going to sound like I'm scraping for a fight and I promise you I'm not...but some of the people here are really getting under my skin.

I'm not talking about being anxious about getting that email and going, "Ooh, is today the day I get the email?  Oh, drat, it didn't come today.  Well, maybe tomorrow."  That's perfectly fine.  I'm talking about how some people are going on like, "How dare  you make me wait a month or two for my lightsaber!  I demand that you send it to me now!"

Some of you are acting like being made to wait over something that is really just a hobby is the worst thing in the world.  Well, let me tell you something I know from experience:

YOU. DON'T.  KNOW. JACK.


This is all I'm going to let myself say on the subject.   Cause if I let myself go off on a rant, I'm gonna get kicked off the forum.

Just....chill out, people, okay?  Enough.  You ordered it, it'll come.

That's some good luck right there, congrats. Though if they got caught up on the grab bags I could see it being fast.

For what it's worth I'm waiting on 2 sabers from May 9th, one of which was a Crimson Scorpion and the other is a Dark Apprentice v5. Looking at your tag though it seems I got different innards for my scorpion (Fire Orange, Lite Sound). I guess if you get your scorpion first I'll know it's the apprentice that's slowing mine down. Really hope that doesn't happen though.

Post by: pilotnjb on June 24, 2020, 03:21:43 AM
ok so i suppose this is an unpopular opinion but I'm gonna say it anyway.

if you are obvi behind by weeks on orders, you should really stop taking orders. Many businesses actually do that (independent businesses like US) so they can catch up. Yes, you will miss out on a few sales. But, you'll be catching up, less pressure, and once you get those orders out you're kinda starting new.

Im saying this because ive seen sellers do this and i completely understand WHY they do it and i respect it cause its THEIR work. Also,,, I'm passing week 10 for my order (very basic, someone ordered the same saber as me they said and got it already) and you should rather catch up so people arent waiting as long as some are (coughs) like me and others. Its only right. Because some first-time buyers may not kNow about this forum (I didn't till a few days ago!!) and would be extremely upset cause they have no iDEA where their order is, why is it taking so long, and no responses. So US really should maybe take a week or two break from allowing sales just so they can catch up for everyones benefit.

if you really cared about this business then you shouldn't be having a fit if they do consider this. Its for them. And with this covid stuff it must be really hard. So id rather them take a break so they don't get backlogged even more and so they keep their loyal customers happy and /future/ customers happy.

but in the end its always up to them obvi. Thats just my opinion. :)

(there are other solutions I have not mentioned but I'm not talking about that in this post lol)

The trigger has been pulled...younger brother is getting the aforementioned Dominix with a Tri-cree Consular Green mid-grade blade, Obsidian v4 sound board and a charging port.  Plus a blade plug and a mini USB cable so he can tinker with the sound fonts.

That 15% off made this one an easy purchase.  It'll be interesting to see how long it takes before I get the shipping confirmation, LOL...

So instead of reveling in the anticipation of getting that Golden Ticket of an email telling you that your gift to yourself is on the way, and instead of letting your mind run away  with all the fun you're going to have with your lightsaber, you're choosing to let yourself get pissed off over having to wait longer than you normally would have.

I'm sorry, this is going to sound like I'm scraping for a fight and I promise you I'm not...but some of the people here are really getting under my skin.

I'm not talking about being anxious about getting that email and going, "Ooh, is today the day I get the email?  Oh, drat, it didn't come today.  Well, maybe tomorrow."  That's perfectly fine.  I'm talking about how some people are going on like, "How dare  you make me wait a month or two for my lightsaber!  I demand that you send it to me now!"

Some of you are acting like being made to wait over something that is really just a hobby is the worst thing in the world.  Well, let me tell you something I know from experience:

YOU. DON'T.  KNOW. JACK.


This is all I'm going to let myself say on the subject.   Cause if I let myself go off on a rant, I'm gonna get kicked off the forum.

Just....chill out, people, okay?  Enough.  You ordered it, it'll come. 

I think you missed my point. There are hilts out of stock, yet they are not listed as such on the website, so yes, more and more people can order said hilt, thinking it will take 3-4 weeks, before they even get informed the hilt is out of stock. The issue is lack of communication and what can be seen as deceptive tactics.

Am I happy I got an email 6 weeks after I ordered, yes. Am I happy the hilt I ordered that was listed as In stock and is STILL listed as In stock per the website, is no longer available? No I am not happy. I never had an issue other than 1 customer service issue with US before now. US took my money and I am not ok with how this process has been done. You might not have a problem with what is going on and great, good for you. But not everyone has to feel as you do.

I agree with this. It's understandable that these items may take some time and that they're luxury non-essentials. I don't think anyone here has said anything against the wait time itself being unreasonable and people seem to generally be understanding that

A. These things take time
B. There are extenuating circumstances which cause production to take longer than usual.

The main complaint people have levied here, which is 100% understandable, is that US has terrible communication practices that are woefully inadequate for a company taking the perceived amount of orders that they are.

Suggestions have been made in the past doze or so pages from

- overstating production times (under-promise and over-deliver). This way people aren't expecting 4 weeks when in reality it's somewhere in the 6-8 week range

- correct on-site stock to accurately reflect available items. Multiple people have mentioned US has reached out to say that the order they asked for is OOS. Something that is understandable and happens. However those items mentioned are still reflected as being in-stock on the site.

- continued promotions: It is clear US keeps offering sales and promotions as per their marketing calendar. However because of the two issues above I'm sure people are ordering items that are not in stock, or getting impatient a few weeks in because there's been no movement in their orders. It is standard practice for companies, that while flooded with orders, to slow down on promotions to catch up on outstanding orders. US has so far shown no signs of stopping and it's only gonna compound the issue.

- Email replies. It's totally understandable that US is likely swamped with emails from customers due to the things I mentioned above, but higher production times don't necessarily excuse longer reply times that are sometimes weeks after emails are sent. Im not sure what kind of CX email service US is using but losing ALL emails is highly unusual to begin with, replies taking several weeks, specially for issues like order changes or cancellations is just a bad practice and as I had mentioned before, likely to leave customers with a bad taste in their mouth regardless of the quality of the product.

Yes, these are superfluous hobby luxury items, but just because that's the case shouldn't mean that customers should be ignored and told to just sit tight and wait when a company is failing to accurately communicate with not only potential, but existing customers. The ONUS isn't on us as the customer to take it but for the company to listen and do better. I know that falls on deaf ears because this forum isn't associated with US officials, so they're not likely to see this (another major oversight if you ask me) but it still bears saying.

Or actually participating and actively acting as a spokesperson for US. Having a face humanizes a company. US needs to do more community support and they could benefit from an overhaul to the CS team in general, from reply practices to whatever system they're using to handle tickets.

The main issue US is having is a communication and transparency issue. Having secret employees scanning the forums but never saying anything or admitting who they are just compounds that issue.

I actually placed 2 separate orders today (so I could use the points on the second order) and the 6 digit order numbers where 1 digit off. Not tens, not hundreds, nor thousands. One.
It's very believable that they take orders for thousands of sabers a month. Especially considering "the other guys" are mostly out of stock and processing times for them are in the MONTHS not weeks.

If anything, US is suffering from their own success.
Would it be nice if they advertised longer lead times to set better expectations? Sure
Should they cool it with the promos so they can get caught up and manufacture more back stock? Probably
Could they hire more CSRs to answer emails in a more timely manner? Maybe
Do they still make a product that is as good or better than their competitors at a much faster rate? Absolutely!

And yes, 7-10 weeks is still much faster than 3-6 months, so it could worse

-

That makes sense actually. ERPs vary based on how orders roll in. It's not unheard of for there to be a 1 digit difference, just not common. It could also be that the system is smart enough to recognize your order in relation to your previous order.

I am perfectly patient to wait for my order, what is frustrating me is I have been trying to change the shipping address for a few weeks now. I moved suddenly and if it is shipped to my old address the package will immediately be stolen and I will never recieve it. I just really wish they could answer my email so I could have peace of mind.

I'll keep this short and sweet, guys.....i need to apologize for this rant I had last night.   At least for the tone of it.

Yes, I've had a real bad year, but so have a lot of people; it would be very selfish of me to think I'm the only one who's taken a beating from 2020.  Every now and then, I crack and lash out a little, and i think that's what I did last night without meaning to.

Yes, I do believe that getting annoyed over the waiting time is trivial, but that's compared to what I myself have been through this year.  For others, it may not be trivial, and it's not my place to say it is or it isn't as far as others are concerned.

Basically, what I was trying to communicate came out garbled,  and I'm sorry for that.  I'll try to get it right next time I speak.  Peace, y'all.

Little bit of information to pass along; assuming the order numbers are given chronologically in sequence and not just randomly assigned, there have been about 8,400 orders placed between thst first order i did on June 1 and the one i placed last night.

Yikes.

Yeah, that would be a bit much to handle.   It's probably some algorithm in the system that assigns the numbers.  Although I'm quite sure they've got an insane amount of orders to deal with anyways, LOL.

I've placed back to back orders before (to use RPs earned on the first to credit the second) and the order numbers right in sequence.
Just Monday I ordered my Crimson Scorpion with order number xxxxx8 and the Grab bag order right after with number xxxxx9

So unless US has an algorithm that "ticks" the number up after a certain time interval regardless of an actual order being made, I'm going to assume those 20-30 thousand differences do represent actual orders.

I'll add to the theory of dates/order numbers

5/8    - 76xxxx @HesaHeart
5/17  - 77xxxx Me (2 mystery boxes)
6/1    - 78xxxx @Jedi_Phoenix
6/23  - 79xxxx @Jedi_Phoenix

Seems legit to me. I can understand taking some time for custom orders. But I fail to really see how Mystery Boxes are delayed this long. I thought the point of a MB was a grab and go luck of the draw type thing. Especially the $75 variety. We've passed my Son's birthday, now Father's Day. I'm patiently waiting (and secretly hoping this will mean good things for MBs like I've read in the past during shortages), but I won't lie - if after 7+ weeks we get 2 very basic sabers there will be some disappointment.

I agree! I have even purchased 4 US from private sellers since ordering my 2 Mystery and 1 custom order in early May. I have no issues with waiting, but after 4 emails from me in regards to updates and even changes, you can't respond once..... That is an issue

Mine was 79 as well and was ordered on June 20th and shipped out on the 23rd.  It was an Emperor's Hand Emerald Sound, just for clarification.

I can only speculate that because it has perhaps been a pretty popular saber, they already have a lot of the components for it made and all they had to do was slap it together, add the accessories, and ship it off.  Of course, this is all speculation on my part, because I can't see a logical reason why mine went out so fast while others are still waiting for other sabers.

Could ALSO be, that the system creates a ticket # for a potential order, as soon as someone adds something to a cart.. or clicks on the 'order' button.. just to see how much something will total up to be. Seen a lot of cart systems that will do that, too.

I ALSO suspect that's the case, because since this whole thing started, I've gone in a few times.. created a cart of items and options.. and then I'll get an email, later in the day with something akin to:

"It is your destiny...

The Force is calling to you, padawan...
Complete the purchase of your lightsaber & begin your training!
Do not worry, padawan.  We have saved your progress.
"

So their system is definitely saving orders that haven't been paid for (yet).

Another theory I've been wondering about, is if US is using an old Cartrocket version that had a bug, that if you ordered something, and then started another order, and never finished.. the first order would get placed into a weird sort of limbo... lost, until you placed another order.. then the system would produce BOTH into the customer panel it was installed into...  (Previous employer trialed Cartrocket for their online giftshop system, and it caused so many problems with the backend database for the ordering system... it was bailed on, within a couple of weeks, if memory serves)

That would make a lot more sense.

Also, regarding MBs, I suspect they ran out of their pre-built stock months ago (but possibly had a reserve stock specifically for their giveaways).
So MB orders (that weren't part of a giveaway) are in a long line of orders having to be made from scratch, just like custom orders.

While speculating can be fun, I definitely feel a bit more transparency would easy some anxiety. But they may just not have they staff to do it

That may be, but what the customers see.. are giveaway people getting their 'free' boxes, when the paid customers are SOL.

The other issue is the amount of excuses that we all (I'm guilty of it, too) are giving them.. such as the fact we've all given them a 'pass' on their lack of communication, or responses to paying customers. In a customer facing industry, of any sort, if a company can't communicate with their paying customers on a very regular basis, then the company needs to to be called to task for it. Saying they don't have the staff for it is giving them WAAY too much leniency. A simple 'state of orders' communication on the board, or on the main site, would take 1-5 mins.. max... and no one will ever convince me that someone in a PR position, or OWNERSHIP position, doesn't have that amount of time on their hands. (heck.. post it while sitting on the can.. lol.. not like you can do much more, there, anyway ;)

Also.. if you can get in touch with a CSR at US, being told that orders are  only taking 4 weeks to process.. when many people's orders on here are much further out than that, already... is just an outright lie.

The final concern I have, is whether or not the covid issue has become a too convenient excuse for many companies, right now. It's too easy for a company to lay off employees (they get extra payments with unemployment), reduce spending across the board (not order as many supplies), and still collect the same amount of money for orders. For a lot of companies, this just translates into faster profits, which make their quarterly reports look amazingly good, 'In spite of covid'. (I'm actually referring to a company that makes safes, who was caught a few weeks ago, doing JUST that.. but I'm sure a lot of companies could/would have done this, too.)


As for the comments from everyone who have said relax, it's a hobby, etc...  The best way I can explain it, psychologically, is how it appears to many people..

See... 'hobby' or not.. the issue isn't WHAT is ordered.. the issue boils down to: 'I already gave them my money". Plain and simple.. that's it. People expect something when they pay a few hundred dollars for a product. When they pay for something, being told it's 4-5 weeks out, and then 7-8 weeks go by.. it feels an awful lot like being scammed. (even if it's not).

That customer becomes upset.. and rightfully so.  They were told their product would be there in 4-5 weeks... a deadline that the seller gave.. they set the expectation. But the vendor/company hasn't given any update to that customer, and now the customer reaches out to the vendor to see if they can provide some status update, or reason why they didn't mean their own deadline. After all, since purchasing that product, the customer has thought of 100 different things they could have already used that money on... even if frivolous, that is THEIR money, and what they now see, is that they have traded their money, for nothing more than a promise... and promises can be broken... Heck, the argument could be made, 1 promise (the delivery timeline) HAS already been broken by that vendor.

So, now the customer reaches out, for some assurance that they didn't make a foolish decision.. that they didn't actually give their money away to an uncaring entity.. who gave them nothing in return. But, instead of getting a reassuring pat on the head, and promise that 'Hey, we got your order.. and we're working on it, we've just been having a problem getting the right widget for your order..'... instead, the customer gets... Nothing. No email response.. no phone response.. no text... nothing.. they now feel like they've been ghosted by a company. So, the customer feels like they've been scammed.. had... tricked... they've been foolish with their money, and were parted from it.

THAT is why people are getting so upset.. they feel like they were promised 1 thing, and given something else entirely... and that something else they were given.. was 'Nothing'.

Will their orders arrive? Well.. that really depends. If you've ever been on the receiving end of a company going bankrupt, or closing shop, after having taken your money... you'd understand why so many of us are insistent upon timelines, and guarantees. But.. if you've ever watched the movie, 'Tommy Boy', you know what 'guarantees' often mean to people (and companies).

In most cases, people will still get what they ordered... sure.. but until they do.. the customer is the one that's standing there holding an empty bag.. there is no pressure on the company to make the customer happy... they're just another number.


Hopefully this explains a bit to those not understanding the logic/reasoning behind why some people get so twitchy about unfulfilled orders. (honestly, I don't think stuff like kickstarter and indiegogo have helped with this, since many of those tend to overpromise and under-deliver so often)


Heck, I'll freely admit.. if I'd not bought a couple US's second hand, while waiting for this.. I would be a little less patient than I have been... That said.. the constant radio silence, and lack of updates has got me more than a little annoyed, at this point... when a company rep can't take 5 mins to give updates to their customers.. that speaks volumes to me.

Hopefully this explains a bit to those not understanding the logic/reasoning behind why some people get so twitchy about unfulfilled orders. (honestly, I don't think stuff like kickstarter and indiegogo have helped with this, since many of those tend to overpromise and under-deliver so often)


Heck, I'll freely admit.. if I'd not bought a couple US's second hand, while waiting for this.. I would be a little less patient than I have been... That said.. the constant radio silence, and lack of updates has got me more than a little annoyed, at this point... when a company rep can't take 5 mins to give updates to their customers.. that speaks volumes to me.

Very well said and a point to you!

I really just want to know that my orders did not fall into some email/computer void due to their email issue. A simple.. " We are working on your order and sorry for the delay ", would be a great start. All I want is an acknowledgment to my email. I get no auto reply or anything.

First-time customer. Ordered 2 mystery boxes on May 5th, and I'm still waiting. I sent an email at the 1 month mark (tried to be very polite and understanding because I'm sure they get enough crap), and got a response from a CSR last monday (6th weeks).

It was just a basic "hey, sorry, looks like your order didnt ship, give us a day or two to look at it" email, which I kind of understand, but it's hard not to be disappointed a week later with still nothing.

In my email I tried to see if the holdup was due to anything I picked being out of stock, so maybe we could change it, but nothing yet.

Thankfully, I dont have a deadline that I need these by, like some poor people in this topic, so the wait wont ruin anything (except my patience).

I just ordered an unstable blade sleeve from someone online that gave an estimate of 1-4 weeks, so it should be a fun little game trying to figure out what gets here first.

last email I got was 5 days ago asking for an address confirmation. Since then I've replied three times and had no returned emails confirming the address change. I replied again today and included a link to this thread since I think some very valid points are being made here.

I agree. Last time I heard anything from customer service was June 9th on my May 2nd order. I was told "give me a few days to check on the hilt progress" and I've heard nothing since and have gotten no response either.

As a first time buyer from CS it's very discouraging to see how they are handling things. I purposely ordered a month early for my son's birthday hoping that it would be here in time.

I agree with this. It's understandable that these items may take some time and that they're luxury non-essentials. I don't think anyone here has said anything against the wait time itself being unreasonable and people seem to generally be understanding that

A. These things take time
B. There are extenuating circumstances which cause production to take longer than usual.

The main complaint people have levied here, which is 100% understandable, is that US has terrible communication practices that are woefully inadequate for a company taking the perceived amount of orders that they are.

Suggestions have been made in the past doze or so pages from

- overstating production times (under-promise and over-deliver). This way people aren't expecting 4 weeks when in reality it's somewhere in the 6-8 week range

- correct on-site stock to accurately reflect available items. Multiple people have mentioned US has reached out to say that the order they asked for is OOS. Something that is understandable and happens. However those items mentioned are still reflected as being in-stock on the site.

- continued promotions: It is clear US keeps offering sales and promotions as per their marketing calendar. However because of the two issues above I'm sure people are ordering items that are not in stock, or getting impatient a few weeks in because there's been no movement in their orders. It is standard practice for companies, that while flooded with orders, to slow down on promotions to catch up on outstanding orders. US has so far shown no signs of stopping and it's only gonna compound the issue.

- Email replies. It's totally understandable that US is likely swamped with emails from customers due to the things I mentioned above, but higher production times don't necessarily excuse longer reply times that are sometimes weeks after emails are sent. Im not sure what kind of CX email service US is using but losing ALL emails is highly unusual to begin with, replies taking several weeks, specially for issues like order changes or cancellations is just a bad practice and as I had mentioned before, likely to leave customers with a bad taste in their mouth regardless of the quality of the product.

Yes, these are superfluous hobby luxury items, but just because that's the case shouldn't mean that customers should be ignored and told to just sit tight and wait when a company is failing to accurately communicate with not only potential, but existing customers. The ONUS isn't on us as the customer to take it but for the company to listen and do better. I know that falls on deaf ears because this forum isn't associated with US officials, so they're not likely to see this (another major oversight if you ask me) but it still bears saying.
With regards to the last paragraph, as a first time buyer myself, I am floored at the incredibly poor execution on their part. And honestly, I absolutely regret my purchase and will probably will not buy from them again unless these issues are addressed. I didn't get a top notch, all-bells-and-whistles saber, but I still spent more than $300 on my order. That's a good chunk of money for a superfluous luxury toy. The lack of communication and unknown "processing" time is really difficult to swallow. Especially given that I had not seen this forum, and the numerous concerns, before purchasing.

Post by: Darth Kalis on June 24, 2020, 11:13:52 PM
That may be, but what the customers see.. are giveaway people getting their 'free' boxes, when the paid customers are SOL.

The other issue is the amount of excuses that we all (I'm guilty of it, too) are giving them.. such as the fact we've all given them a 'pass' on their lack of communication, or responses to paying customers. In a customer facing industry, of any sort, if a company can't communicate with their paying customers on a very regular basis, then the company needs to to be called to task for it. Saying they don't have the staff for it is giving them WAAY too much leniency. A simple 'state of orders' communication on the board, or on the main site, would take 1-5 mins.. max... and no one will ever convince me that someone in a PR position, or OWNERSHIP position, doesn't have that amount of time on their hands. (heck.. post it while sitting on the can.. lol.. not like you can do much more, there, anyway ;)

Also.. if you can get in touch with a CSR at US, being told that orders are  only taking 4 weeks to process.. when many people's orders on here are much further out than that, already... is just an outright lie.

The final concern I have, is whether or not the covid issue has become a too convenient excuse for many companies, right now. It's too easy for a company to lay off employees (they get extra payments with unemployment), reduce spending across the board (not order as many supplies), and still collect the same amount of money for orders. For a lot of companies, this just translates into faster profits, which make their quarterly reports look amazingly good, 'In spite of covid'. (I'm actually referring to a company that makes safes, who was caught a few weeks ago, doing JUST that.. but I'm sure a lot of companies could/would have done this, too.)


As for the comments from everyone who have said relax, it's a hobby, etc...  The best way I can explain it, psychologically, is how it appears to many people..

See... 'hobby' or not.. the issue isn't WHAT is ordered.. the issue boils down to: 'I already gave them my money". Plain and simple.. that's it. People expect something when they pay a few hundred dollars for a product. When they pay for something, being told it's 4-5 weeks out, and then 7-8 weeks go by.. it feels an awful lot like being scammed. (even if it's not).

That customer becomes upset.. and rightfully so.  They were told their product would be there in 4-5 weeks... a deadline that the seller gave.. they set the expectation. But the vendor/company hasn't given any update to that customer, and now the customer reaches out to the vendor to see if they can provide some status update, or reason why they didn't mean their own deadline. After all, since purchasing that product, the customer has thought of 100 different things they could have already used that money on... even if frivolous, that is THEIR money, and what they now see, is that they have traded their money, for nothing more than a promise... and promises can be broken... Heck, the argument could be made, 1 promise (the delivery timeline) HAS already been broken by that vendor.

So, now the customer reaches out, for some assurance that they didn't make a foolish decision.. that they didn't actually give their money away to an uncaring entity.. who gave them nothing in return. But, instead of getting a reassuring pat on the head, and promise that 'Hey, we got your order.. and we're working on it, we've just been having a problem getting the right widget for your order..'... instead, the customer gets... Nothing. No email response.. no phone response.. no text... nothing.. they now feel like they've been ghosted by a company. So, the customer feels like they've been scammed.. had... tricked... they've been foolish with their money, and were parted from it.

THAT is why people are getting so upset.. they feel like they were promised 1 thing, and given something else entirely... and that something else they were given.. was 'Nothing'.

Will their orders arrive? Well.. that really depends. If you've ever been on the receiving end of a company going bankrupt, or closing shop, after having taken your money... you'd understand why so many of us are insistent upon timelines, and guarantees. But.. if you've ever watched the movie, 'Tommy Boy', you know what 'guarantees' often mean to people (and companies).

In most cases, people will still get what they ordered... sure.. but until they do.. the customer is the one that's standing there holding an empty bag.. there is no pressure on the company to make the customer happy... they're just another number.


Hopefully this explains a bit to those not understanding the logic/reasoning behind why some people get so twitchy about unfulfilled orders. (honestly, I don't think stuff like kickstarter and indiegogo have helped with this, since many of those tend to overpromise and under-deliver so often)

This. I've been patient, sure, I've been checking my emails multiple times daily, but I've been patient. But I'll be honest, as a first time buyer, I'm not entirely sure I'd buy from here again. Being told 3-4 weeks for a lead time, and having it be over 7 weeks is one thing. In fact, with everything in the world happening these days, it's understandable. But seeing so many others having the same thing happen (with no communication at all) is a bit disconcerting. Chances are, I'll probably buy from them again if the saber is good. But hearing people waiting 6 to 8 weeks only to be told that the saber they bought is out of stock is pretty alarming, and not a good first impression for a first time buyer.

Oh no...it's not a matter of cancelling with them. I still haven't gotten a reply to a basic inquiry since 6/9 - so that just 16 days (still piss poor in my opinion). So don't expect a response that way. You have to go to the payment source and cancel/chargeback there for services not rendered/cancelled. Sort of like stopping a check back in the day when we wrote checks. So if you really, really want to cancel - that's the angle you have to pursue.

That lack of response is what has finally tipped it, for me, tonight.

I've actually decided I'm giving them another 24 hours to respond, to explain why people who ordered during the spring giveaway are getting their orders (I'm mainly concerned at the fact they're getting their mystery boxes, when so many of us who ordered before those individuals, haven't even warranted a response).. after that, I'll be talking with my bank about what options there are.

I'm sorry, but I just can't tolerate poor customer service that practices ignoring the customer.

I love the quality of Ultrasabers..and if there was a good reason given, I would resume being patient... But right now, my patience has worn thin, simply due to not only that lack of patience, but the apparent line jumping being granted to some orders.

It's a shame, really, because this is just going to disappoint my wife and daughter, who have already started planning what they want to custom order.. but when I can email 2 of "the other guys", and get a response in a couple hours... There is no excuse for US not responding in 3+ weeks.

Who knows... Maybe I'll be eating crow for posting this, tomorrow, and finding out my order has shipped.. and if I'm wrong at that time.. I'll openly, and freely admit it, here... But for now, I'm just disappointed in the lack of customer service.

From the hilts I have they seem pretty strong as far as I'm aware the blades are reasonably strong but will break with a certain amount of force and I think the blade is weakest towards the tip the internal parts can take hefty swinging about but not sure about combat since I have no 1 to spa with at the moment lol

To me their just picking and choosing who they reply to. "That guy that ordered just 1 MB, nah, he didnt spend enough, he can just wait." Seems to me their attitude. I'm glad that's all I ordered. I'm at 6 weeks out with no responses on my emails as well. After reading their page on Indeed, it really leaves me questioning why I'm even forking over my cash.

I spent $1000 and have only gotten one email reply after weekly Facebook messages, so I don't it has to do about money. I think it has to do with that what you ordered. But that is my opinion.

This, right here, is what adds to the frustration. They definitely are picking and choosing who they respond to, and I wish we knew the why.

I honestly don't think it has to do with how much the customer has spent... But more about how much profit is in the order.

If someone spends $1000, but it's all in mystery boxes, that's probably less profit, overall, than if someone buys a fully kitted out saber... Thus, it's easier for them to justify spending time on saving that order, and keeping that customer happy.


The rest of us, who ordered mystery boxes and grab bags? Meh.. I suspect we're given lower priority... But then again... Those people that got all the freebie stuff with the spring giveaway... I can't imagine all that extra stuff allows for a very large profit margin, either.. so.. *shrug*



Out of curiosity.. how are most people paying for their orders? Perhaps that has some logic into this.. ??

For those who inquired about the Fallen, did they mention anything about inventory on the LE version? I’m on week 5 today. I’ve sent 3 emails (one from a different account) and haven’t heard back from them yet. I know lots of you are on week 6+ so I’m not as frustrated; just wanted to see if anything in my order config was out of stock so I can set my expectations appropriately.

Congrats to those who are getting theirs soon tho! Looking forward to seeing some pics.

Some people say people complain too much and should be patient but patience has its bounds especially with no communication coming for US to begin with, only more ads for more deals. You know they have people on here looking at the forum secretly so complaints are really one of the legit ways to get noticed otherwise if you didnt say anything they'd just keep up how their doing things which they might anyway. They could use a little customer pushback, if that means emails, complaints on the forums or disputing the charge with your cc company for a refund or whatever other legit means then so be it. You paid them your hard earned money and their failing to deliver on their promise of a timely delivery and communication.

I bought 2 diamond sabers so I doubt its what you buy. I think it has to do with components. And for grab bags and mystery bags it might be that they don't have many done sabers and are having to make some because of all the sales and orders for them. So basically they are having to build mystery saber rather then give what they have laying around in stock, but again I have no idea. I just wish I could get word of my order and to why it is taking so long.

So basically they are having to build mystery saber rather then give what they have laying around in stock, but again I have no idea. I just wish I could get word of my order and to why it is taking so long.

That may be.. but, again.. filling an order, with a mystery box or grab bag, after there have been users waiting for those exact same things, is the number one reason I've become so disgruntled in the last few days.

Since I *DO* have such an interest in sabers, my youtube feed is constantly filled with new postings... and seeing someone post something akin to: 'Hey!!! Here's my unboxing of my spring giveaway orders!'... and those orders have mystery boxes, included... I feel like the users who had paid weeks/months before that giveaway even started, is a massive slight to those users. Mystery boxes and grab bags SHOULD be the easiest 'full' order to fill, because, literally.. they could throw any saber in the box, ship it.. and call it complete. Doesn't matter what hilt it is.. if it has sound.. when a user buys a Mystery box.. they're essentially saying:

"I just want one of your products, and I don't necessarily care what it is.. I just want to support what you're doing."

Now, obviously, if someone orders a plug, or a particular blade that is not available with the order.. then that makes sense for a delay.. BUT.. TELL the customer that!

'Hey, we're having issues getting the mid grade, 32" blades.. do you want to swap it with another one?'
'hey, we have all the parts for your order, except the plug... is it ok if we mail you that, later, when we get the parts in?'

(note, both of those issues I would say could be adding time to orders, if I hadn't seen some videos with those items, recently.. and again... it all seems to be the giveaway buyers... so, clearly some of their orders have been prioritized for whatever reason...)

If it's a custom order.. hey.. I get delays with that... because custom orders HAVE specific components that may not be in, or can't be manufacturered. (certain LEDs, sound boards, hilt parts, annodizing, etc...) The exception to that, would be... if you order a VERY specific saber.. and then your friend orders the EXACT same thing (color and everything) that you did... say... 3 weeks after the fact. If THEY were to get their order before you.. wouldn't you be kind of upset or wonder 'what gives?!?! I ordered that exact same thing, long before s/he did.. why did s/he get his/hers first?!?!'

As a mystery box orderer... That is how I feel every time I see someone on my video feed unveiling their 'Spring Giveaway' order... and it includes a 'free mystery box'. I wonder how/why that order has gotten priority over the MANY other mystery box customers that have been waiting 7+ weeks for their orders.

If US can give us a GOOD reason for that.. then I will patiently return back to my patiently waiting... but the fact that they've not even answered a single email to many of us (but, again, they're responding to others).. that tells me, either they're intentionally picking and choosing who they respond to... OR their IT infrastructure is so messed up, they are losing as much data as they're retaining. As an IT professional... I'm not sure which I would find less acceptable.

That said.. if it's the latter, I would happily offer my time/services to help them get their issues straightened out, if only so their customers don't suffer because of it... heck, I could probably call in a few favors, and get them on site support from a few friends that live in their area.

*Sigh*.. and here I said, I wasn't going to allow myself to get frustrated over this, any more, after my last email, last night.

I do agree with you Casp. Their customer service is utter garbage. And this being my first order from them it may be my last. A simple email as to why things are the way are would help. Or like you said if something is missing tell the customer, maybe offer to ship it separately so you can get the rest of your order. I dont know. I really need a reply though. Its really starting to p*ss me off.


Title: Starting to get worried about my order
Post by: Shagwrath on June 25, 2020, 04:14:07 PM
Hello all, first forum post so be gentle :P.

I ordered a saber and some pieces on May 22nd, a few days later I realized my shipping zipcode was wrong so immediately I sent UltraSabers an email. I have ordered from them before, and emailed them before even, as their auto response says it takes some times, but they get back to you.

Well I sent them an email, and waited, but it's been over month now. I called them and their answering machine said to email instead, so I sent another email, maybe the first got lost or missed. Again I have been waiting for a few weeks with no response. It's about to be two months since I ordered.

I'm not making this topic because I'm in a rush, but there's been no emails, or updates to my order.

I'm sure things are being made complicated by the virus, and I certainly hope everyone working at UltraSabers is happy and healthy, but the lack of communication worries my because I cant find anything that says shipments are delayed because of this, and etc.

Any recommendations or words of comfort?
I'm not sure what else now, and I would like to find a better solution then opening a dispute with my bank because they already charged me, that seems vile.

Any help in this matter from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, and Pease is A Lie I mean, May the Force be With You.

Post by: DarthTrav23 on June 25, 2020, 04:24:13 PM
This, right here, is what adds to the frustration. They definitely are picking and choosing who they respond to, and I wish we knew the why.

I honestly don't think it has to do with how much the customer has spent... But more about how much profit is in the order.

If someone spends $1000, but it's all in mystery boxes, that's probably less profit, overall, than if someone buys a fully kitted out saber... Thus, it's easier for them to justify spending time on saving that order, and keeping that customer happy.


The rest of us, who ordered mystery boxes and grab bags? Meh.. I suspect we're given lower priority... But then again... Those people that got all the freebie stuff with the spring giveaway... I can't imagine all that extra stuff allows for a very large profit margin, either.. so.. *shrug*



Out of curiosity.. how are most people paying for their orders? Perhaps that has some logic into this.. ??




~Casp





Im gonna have to disagree with you. I ordered two diamond controller lightsabers and I've been waiting weeks. With absolutely no replies to email or Facebook. I've sent at least 3-4 of either since the month mark. Im not sure what could cause an order system this erratic but I definitely don't think its value of product. My first order was Apr 26 and it was a $75 mystery box I received it in less than a week.

Until I know for certain the 'why', to their lack of customer service.. I'll reserve my judgement of 'crap' or not ;)

Honestly, if they had a data breach back in May (and I suspect they got phished, based on the email that went out), it'd not shock me if the phisher/hacker had put in a bunch of garbage email filters, that are auto deleting emails as they arrive. THAT is one of the only logical explanations that would make sense as to why they're not responding to emails for everyone.

Perhaps, they're looking at their email box, when an email comes in, but before the filter applies.. so they can respond to the email..  So maybe they're not even aware they're missing emails. *shrug*

Wish I had more encouragement, my order was on may 5th, and no shipping update yet. From what I've seen with other people, the orders are getting filled, but the only email that got a response I got at the end of May. It spoke of a 3 to 4 week lead time to ship. I'm on week 7, going on 8 right now. That's what most people are seeing for shipping, so I'm just sitting, fingers crossed it's not too much longer. Keep hoping dude!

If that is that is the case, which seems contrived, then they should at least say so. Again, communication and transparency. People would be much more understanding if they knew the issues faced by the company.

I recommend that you do. I ordered the same hilt 4/26 and ended up receiving my 5/5 order first, but since that order was missing the correct coupler, I reached out about both issues.

It seems the Dark Initiate V4 hilt were out if stock and they had limited access to the machine shop to create more.
They offered to upgrade me to the LE version and had the saber and my missing coupler delivered the next week.

I just emailed them today to get a status on an order I made 5/18. I might be moving soon so I need to know if I'll have to update the shipping address.
I placed a final order this Monday and I'm fairly certain I'll have to update my address for that one, but since it's less than a week old, I'll give that some time.

Hmmph. All I got was an automated message from "Will" (it wasn't Will, unless he can type in milliseconds because it came up right after my message) saying contact the email address. I included in my message that I had heard some emails might be going into spam.

No response 24hr later.

I am very close to cancelling. I'm minded to fight the "20% restocking fee" too since they can turn it into a Mystery Box and recoup $75 on it, they don't need $40 off my order amount.

As has been said a few times around, if you are canceling its probably best to dispute the charge from your CCC directly than to try and beg US to respond to anything you send them.

Ok, so after 13 emails, no responses, and 6 weeks later I have contacted PP and have disputed both my orders. I will keep you up to date on how the process goes. As the proud owner of 4 US's I purchased second hand while I have been waiting, I think their product is amazing, but the customers service is the pits. I may attempt to purchase something later this year when they get everything worked out.

My 4/18 order arrived today. So about 10 weeks.  When I (politely) emailed and raised a problem other than "what is taking so long?" and "wherearetheywherearetheywhere...." I did get a response within 2 or 3 days. Twice. They are doing triage on emails and orders, apparently.  Not perfect CS, or even necessarily good, but they seem to be trying their best to do what they can.  Vent here if you must (I know I did!), but if you wait they will get to you.  Canceling now just puts you at the end of the line and costs you money.

And it was worth it!

I should point out that out of those 25 emails some did get a reply but it's been radio silence since about a week ago. They have also all been extra polite. I work in CS so I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of these. I still won't excuse a 6 day gap in responses for a simple "yes your address has been updated"

So I'm assuming that they got an email from Amazon and that got the wheels turning once again for my order. I just left it as is and will wait to see what happens till the middle of next week.

My wife and I sat down and discussed this, earlier today, and decided to put in a cancellation, as well... so it'll be interesting to see if we get a similar response. The plan was to just hold off with our order, until US's customer service issues get straightened out... instead directing the refund to one of 'the other guys' who are also US based.. keep the money within the economy, as it were.

So it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Would love to keep our payment with US.. the concern/complaint was never due to the quality or workmanship of the product, but rather just the hit or miss customer care. *shrug*

I literally did this last night too with my wife. Luckily I'm in a position that I can sit it out another week or two (while saddened by the missed reason for ordering them in the first place). But the greater part of me really wants to pull out to put a voice to my displeasure in the customer service handling as a whole. I'll make a more concerted effort to reach them...

That is admittedly a very basic saber with zero customization, no anodizing even so it would be quicker to spit out than other more involved orders. It's still annoying tho.

It's easier to do that when they're posting on youtube complaining about mishandling orders. It's easier to ignore people when they don't have a public platform which leads me to believe that's why US has such a bad social media presence. People can't blast you on twitter for bad CS if you're not on twitter.

Oh man, this is gonna sound petty but... A few weeks after I ordered my Dark Apprentice V4 from US I went and ordered something from one of the other guys. They had temporarily reopened and had quoted the processing and production time to be of up to 16 weeks (!!!), but I figured, sure it'll be a nice present in the fall, at least they're being clear with expectations. I just got my shipping info from them today after 4 weeks.

This is a perfect example of underpromising and overdelivering, as many have pointed out in the last couple weeks. Clear communication and setting of expectations for the customer, along with weekly updates on their processing, and a pleasant surprise in a quick turnaround.

I really really wanna support US since they're local and their products are good from the second-hand saber I got my roommate as a going away present, but it's very difficult when others are doing a much better job.

I'm still holding on for my order though and I'll report when I do get it.

Registered here just to mention, I placed my order on a whim because I saw the sale on some ad. I thought, why not, I always wanted a saber. I placed my order 5/7, a few days after the 5/4 sale. I actually thought about putting in my order on May the 4th but hesitated because it's a bit of a splurge for me, even if it's one saber. Well it's nearly July and the only emails I've gotten are spam for more sales. Why are they advertising new stuff when they can't even get orders out that are nearing the 2 month mark. I understand the situation with the virus and everything making things hard, but the lack of transparency hurts bad. If you just sent even a mass email saying hey, All orders are on the way just delayed, nobody would be mad. It's the radio silence that is killing people. I didn't even realize there were alternatives to this site, but after this experience I may look elsewhere next time.

And your not wrong my friend! But keep in mind that some of the sabers may be out of stock or low on stock. It's been endlessly reiterated on here on how they need to be more transparent with what's going on. Or better yet tell people that there is a 8-10 week lead time like others do but then over perform by delivering it at 6 weeks. My order will be here tomorrow, I hope it's what I ordered and won't require me to send it back....

I wish you luck on this, and *chuckling* I kind of hope my order isn't going to go this way, now, too.

My wife and I sat down and discussed this, earlier today, and decided to put in a cancellation, as well... so it'll be interesting to see if we get a similar response. The plan was to just hold off with our order, until US's customer service issues get straightened out... instead directing the refund to one of 'the other guys' who are also US based.. keep the money within the economy, as it were.

So it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Would love to keep our payment with US.. the concern/complaint was never due to the quality or workmanship of the product, but rather just the hit or miss customer care. *shrug*

~Casp


I guess we'll see in a few days. Good luck with your order. Funny, I got tired of waiting and built one myself. Turned out pretty good. Impatience can breed creativity.

Have sent a last-ditch email saying if I have had no reply within 5 working days I will cancel, explaining I really don't want to but I don't feel lack of response is justified even given the backlog. I told them I can accept delays in manufacturing/shipping as long as they update me instead of ignoring several emails (first sent on 5th June, followup 21st) and FB messages ("Will" is definitely a bot as "he" sent the exact same response to my followup explaining this, so I suspect no-one is actually reading their messenger).

Not holding out much hope at this point.

Yesterday was my 6 week waiting anniversary.  Still no word aside from the standard 4 week lead time email.  I am just waiting on a single custom saber with obsidian sound, I'm pretty sure parts are out of stock but it would be nice to know what is holding it up.  Hopefully, it won't be too much longer.

Aside from a few outliers, it does appear that MOST orders are being filled by 2 months.
I'm seeing a lot of comments on other sites that the other guys are approaching 6-8 ...MONTHS, not weeks. And some of the other guys have stopped talking orders altogether or have 90% of there products out of stock.

So as frustrating as it is to pass the expected lead time of 3-4weeks and not get any responses to emails, it could be much worse.

I ordered a Grab bag on Monday and it's going to be here today. That's 4 days.
However, I'm expecting there to be some blemishes because GBs are known to be repurposed sabers from Con displays or even returns. That's probably the only reason it shipped so fast.
They can't keep up with MB orders because as soon as they build up stock for it, twice as many are ordered.
But GBs? They probably have several of those ready to go.

Just saying, unless you are willing to wait and need that chance for sound, maybe a GB is a better buy right now than a MB

Oh, and since I have plenty of spare blades, I ordered my GB without to save some $$

Yeah I got a reply to one of my emails yesterday, they basically said they are getting weekly deliveries of custom and mystery boxes from their machine shop, so basically MB are out and being machined like every other order.

As annoyed as I am about some of this, I will give them big props for not just sending their stock of grab bags out as MBs, because who would know as long as its 75 or more?

I ordered a saber from one of the other guys at the same time as US,  2 weeks ago, just got my shipping confirmation from the other guys, nothing from US. Granted, my other guy order was very basic and a single saber, my US order is much more complex....but it would be nice to have some communication.

Ok, so after 13 emails, no responses, and 6 weeks later I have contacted PP and have disputed both my orders. I will keep you up to date on how the process goes. As the proud owner of 4 US's I purchased second hand while I have been waiting, I think their product is amazing, but the customer service is the pits. I may attempt to purchase something later this year when they get everything worked out.

Ok, so a brief update about my order. I was just contacted by Arya from US about the change I requested. I got the standard " Sorry about the late response, we are super busy here "  The change I requested was an Dark Apprentice to a Dark initiate V5 and color change from Tric Arctic Blue to Tri Silver with discs.  She made no mention of the hilt change, but noted $14 for the color change and added a link to make the transaction and said she had halted the production line and after the payment, it would be out in 2 days to me.  Pretty quick turn around I would say, but I sent a reply that I had already filed a claim with PP over both orders and just wanted a refund.

That being said, I do believe they are monitoring the email system and saw my claim emails and got to me ASAP. I hold no ill will to US and lover there saber... Hell, I have purchased 5 while I have been waiting from private sellers, and misc parts from US themselves with a day turnaround to ship!

I'm sure later on after everything cools down that I will make a custom order or even do a couple of grab bags, but just want this part behind me and go outside at night and battle!

Iam patiently waiting for my new Manticore. I ordered yesterday and recieved tracking within an hour. Its supposed to be here July 2nd.  :o How did I pull that off? Easy, I went on ebay. On one of my ultrasabers orders I did order an emerald Manticore, but since I have no clue as to when i may see it, I had to resort to ebay. My Ebay manticore has obsidian lite, in blazing red, guarded switch, low pro pommel, and no flash on clash. Not really a set up I would have ordered myself from US, but I do love the Manticore and I think it will become my project saber. I don't like blazing red, so I already ordered a blue led and resistor, and an  illuminated switch from tcss. Later on, after a bit of research, I'll experiment with foc and I think I'd like to learn some weathering techniques. Not rubbing it in (or out) but pretty excited about it cause I'm in the same boat with every one else here. I have 2 pending orders, one since may, with no updates or responses to my mail. I've also learned that 2 sabers out of the 4 that I ordered are on back order, (even though listed as available on US site) and that info came from another US customer from another lightsaber group. I haven't heard anything from US in close to a month now. But who knows, maybe by September I can put together a Mantistaff.

I am absolutely in shock. I have no idea how, but I just got my shipping notice for the Crimson Scorpion with V4 sound that I ordered 4 DAYS ago.
Simply flabbergasted! But I think it proves that most of the delays have to be related to shortages. Or that I'm just insanely lucky, which is possible.
I'm still waiting on a stunt RGB Aeon v2 from 5/18.

So if what you order is in stock, it seems that they are caught up enough to get it out pretty quickly.
But if something about your order has to be machined, it goes in a long line of other orders that also have to be machined or waiting on a part

After a lot of frustration, I finally heard back from Laura regarding an order I placed for the Yari Pike - Silver Finish on May 14th. It's been on back order, but Laura took it upon herself to set aside the Yari Pike - Black finish in case I wanted to switch. When I asked her if she could, she said she changed my order and even hand delivered both the order page and the Pike itself to the shipping department to get it out ASAP. I must say, that is an outstanding turnaround!

A little luck never hurt anybody, right?  Happy to hear of your good news.

Come Monday, it'll have been 4 weeks - roughly one month - since I placed the large order (5 sabers with the 4 freebies) and Tuesday it'll have been one week since I placed the solo order.  I figure I give the big order another couple of weeks and then I'll send a friendly inquiry, "I know you guys are slammed, I'm just checking."  Maybe both orders will ship at the same time.....wouldn't that be something?

Hello! My order was on May 5th and it just came today. Wait times are between 6-8 weeks on average..... As for emailing.... Have you tried sending direct emails to their customer service representatives? I have several emails you could try.... However I will not openly post them due to I do not want to swamp their customer service team with emails out of order..... They lost their emails in May so if you haven't resent any emails in June then you should do so. Try Facebook, try calling. Be persistent and patient and I am sure they will help you get it sorted out.....

I don't think it's luck, I'm pretty confident they are out of Guarded switches.

The last...5? Sabers I've received from them all had AV switches but I didn't order the upgrade (not complaining, I love AV switches).
We'll see if I get more evidence for my theory when my Scorpion arrives. I specifically didn't upgrade the switch to test this theory

That might be a problem for me; I went with a guarded switch for my 20 year old's Manticore since it was the no cost option and I was trying to keep the bill from getting too out of hand.  Then again, maybe it won't be a problem.   We'll see; if i get into week 6 or 7 with nothing, I'm gonna shoot them a friendly email to see what the scoop is.

All the sabers I've recently ordered had the AV switch added for free. Found out when I opened the box.
Like I said, I ordered my Crimson Scorpion without the AV switch but I'm pretty sure it'll come with it.

The only hilts that require Guarded switches are those chosen as RGB because three 16mm AV switches won't fit next to each other in the 12mm holes of RGB hilts.
I'm pretty sure that's why my Aeon v2 is delayed.

The only hilts that require Guarded switches are those chosen as RGB because three 16mm AV switches won't fit next to each other in the 12mm holes of RGB hilts.
I'm pretty sure that's why my Aeon v2 is delayed.

-

That would be fine if they just went with the AV switch automatically, I'd have no problem with that at all.

At any rate, I'm gonna take my own long-standing advice and not worry until it's time to worry.   8)

Week 11 now...

i emailed US 3 times and all three times I got no response. Is there a specific way I should email them like a certain header or something??  I just want SOME info, I hate coming here and ranting lol! My friend ordered the same saber as me in may (i ordered mine in April) and already got it a week+ ago now.

I ordered the phantom initiative v4 staff (no sound). Is that one backed up?? Im only asking cause I dunno and lots of you seem somewhat knowledgeable lol.

i don't have a facebook but I'm about to make one if it ups my chances of getting a response.. haha

I am patiently awaiting for the mystery boxes for me and my new wife. Super excited to see what we get. We've enjoyed watching the unboxing videos so much that I thought it would be fun to purchase our first ultrasabers as an enigma. Hopefully the force guides the perfect sabers for us haha 😁!

I am still waiting on my order from 5/5.  First time I ordered anything like this, and I don;t think I ever will take the chance again.  I keep seeing people who placed their order after me get theirs, and I have gotten no responses to my email asking for any type of update.  I am really disappointed.  I was skeptical about buying something like this, because of the price, but saw a lot of good review.  I am so sorry I did so now.

I believe most of the claws are glued on, as are the 'rubber' rails.  At least that's the case for my Dominicide.  my 7yo daughter was able to thwack them off with the Dark Apprentice (UEHG blade) pretty easily.

So the cosmetic aesthetics are better for cosplay, the no-claw no-frills are great for sparing.

Sat update -

I got another email from Aria today in regards to my reply email to here. She stated that since I claimed a PP dispute they were just going to let the claim go through and not give me a refund. She wasn't rude but didn't offer the refund straight from US as an option.

I'm absolutely positive I got a response due to my claim. Not a good business practice at all.

I have 3 more sabers coming from Ebay on Monday, so I will post pictures when they get here.

I do plan on making another attempt at building a custom later this year after things cool off and hold no ill will towards US.

The anodized panels that cover the screws on the side pieces as glued in.  So that you can pop them out and tighten the screws as needed.  If it’s an issue, just epoxy them in.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I got the distinct impression that your order form 5/4 was much bigger than just a $75 MB. And no offense, but I'd be more patient if I had ordered something more extravagant than 2 $75 supposed "grab and go" mystery boxes that did not arrive as US indicated they should via their 5/4-5/17 promo for my young sons 10th birthday, let alone Father's day. So forgive me if I'm a little more than frustrated by this...

I’m still waiting on a fallen Le (plus the free initiate) that I ordered on 5/21. I’ve emailed a few times from two different email accounts and have received no replies, not even an automated one.

My first sabers SHOULD be arriving tomorrow. I emphasize the should because they shipped on the 24th and there hasn't been any change on the tracking information since the 25th and that information just seemed weird. It was picked up, arrived at one location and then left from another. Normally I'd say it was just a different name for the same office but they have different addresses and happened 6 minutes apart. I'm just crossing my fingers that the tracking software is bugging or something and I get it on time.

Reach out how? Email? No reply. FB? No reply. Phone? Sorry, our mailbox is full.

I'm very glad you can afford to drop a month's rent on a toy and not care about it. I probably could too, but I have friends who my $197 saber would buy food they can barely afford for, so I get a bit pissed when someone can't even take 10 seconds to bang out a "sorry, we're trying our best" email.

Sounds honestly like a personal problem, if your going to attempt to shame me for spending my money on something I wanted then don't. If your friends are struggling that bad then why did you make your purchase? I'm sorry but you have an absolute loosing argument here.

Recently US had their entire email database WIPED out and have been playing a game of crazy catch up trying to get back on top. If you believe that your order is their top priority then I'm sorry to burst your entitled bubble by telling you no, no your not a top priority. Not to mention that they have been trying to restock on out of stock sabers that I'm sure was one of which you ordered.

If your expecting a pity party, I'm sorry because I truelly don't feel sorry.

All US should do is tell people it's a 8 week lead time and then over perform.

I purchased a saber from them on May 11th and ordered both the standard emitter and the mantis emitter with claws, however I was never sent the mantis emitter with claws.  I've been trying to get in touch with them via [email protected] for 2 months now with no reply.  I just sent them a 4th email attempt hoping someone will get back with me.  Everything with what I did receive is absolutely amazing.  The quality of the machined aluminum, the sounds and the blade material is most definitely you get what you pay for in the fact that is is really high quality.  I'd like to order another saber, but I need to get this other issues resolved first.  Hoping maybe they see this post and get back with me.

“All US should do is tell people it's a 8 week lead time and then over perform. “

Yes, but they’re not. They aren’t being accurate with lead times, they don’t answer most people’s emails (unless prompted by cancellations), they won’t answer their phones. When you make a purchase, transparency on the part of the seller goes a long way toward placating customers. They don’t have a notice on their main page about extended wait times, they’re still running sales and promotions, they can’t maintain accurate in stock/out of stock labeling...I mean seriously, it doesn’t matter what the item is, or how much you spend on it...this level of customer service is abysmal and customers have every right to be frustrated.

I don’t believe you (or anyone) should be called out for their purchases, I think his approach their was wrong. But I feel his frustration with Ultrasabers is entirely warranted.

Tomorrow starts week 9 for me, and I’ve received zero responses to the three attempts I’ve made at getting a simple status update. I’m aware of the issues...some parts, especially electronics, are manufactured overseas. Mixed with the partial shutdown stateside, and it’s tough trying to get things done in a timely manner. However, this is the EXACT circumstance where exceptional customer service and transparency would be one of their greatest tools, and they flat out refuse to make it a priority. And that is frustrating.

Sadly, as we have already proven.. it's NOT been first come first served, which is why so many (myself included) are irritated.

While there are obviously certain pieces on backorder for some sabers, those sabers cannot be filled.... and I totally get that.

However, as we've been seeing.. there are a number of Spring Giveaway orders that have been filled, including their 'Free Mystery Sabers', while those of us who PAID for mystery sabers have been left in the dark (pun/no-pun.. either way) with zero communication from Ultrasabers, beyond either the auto-responder on Facebook, or the May 25th email (that basically sounds like their email account/server was phished).

For many of us, (again, myself included) I had no qualms about waiting.. I was perfectly ok with it. However, the lack of communication (and response) as well as the fact that we can see that other users have gotten bumped in front us, in line, as it were.. THAT is the part that can't be tolerated.

As for the amount of the order.. I don't necessarily think HOW much was ordered, is what seems to be dictating who gets pushed to the front of the line.. I DO believe, however, the profitability of the order (as well as the ability to complete the order, in general) is playing a part in it.

(Also, to clarify, my gripe has never been with the customers.. of course if they can get their order filled earlier.. grats to them. Nor has it been the quality of the product.. Nor has it been however much someone spends on a product.. my issue has ONLY been with the order fulfillment process and lack of communication.. both of which fall squarely on the shoulders of Ultrasabers, themselves)

Post by: ImperialRedGuard-HellFire on June 29, 2020, 12:56:00 AM
I think they should put a notice like the "other guys" who happen to be located in Portland who said they have a 8-10 week lead time. I was at 7 weeks when I was told that one of my sabers were sold out and it would be an additional 10 weeks until I could get my order.

Luckily or unfortunately for US a rep told me that the Sabers parts were being received later that day by the machine shop. So I started again emailing and pushing my order.

Now depending on the rep you get will depend on response times. Aria got back to me in 6 minutes one day.... While the other dude took 2-3 days on average. Unfortunately I cannot provide the emails because they are desperately trying to play catch up. There is a wide held belief that they are out of basic AV switches. For example my free initiate grab bag and stunt all had the nice upgraded switches.

Not to mention if they are running short on certain components, which many come from China.... Then I could see US prioritizing custom orders for two reasons.

Custom order purchasers spend more on average

If a custom Saber order is canceled then they loose more money than a grab bag or MB.

Further issues could be that the bin that contained flawed or damaged hilts has been rapidly depleted. Those hilts are used in GB or MB orders and that would mean that it is effectively slower at times due to them waiting for "uh ohs" to occur so that they can complete a grab bag or MB.

There are a massive amount of scenerios that could occur...

Now with full transparency when I first joined the forum I was LIVID about my Sabers being past 6 weeks. But once you start to read that the wait time is more like 7-10 weeks on average you begin to be a little more realistic and should at that point start to calm down....

Send your email to [email protected] or the shipping alternative and place your order number in the heading. If you get aria, then you have probably one of the best represenatives there to help you. Again.... 6 minute response time 🤣

I have noticed an uptick in folks getting confirmation, can't deny that. My sincerest hope is that, when conditions have reclaimed some semblance of normalcy, that we see a return to what appears to be a pretty damn reliable service from UltraSabers. They're catching flak, and rightly so, for their communications right now. I'm frustrated myself. I am, however, willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Things are hectic right now for many people, and after they've had time to catch up, things will likely run much smoother. If that proves to be the case, I'll likely place a larger order.

Not until then though. Between this, and a few other custom online orders, I've certainly learned that right now isn't the time for large online purchases.

You do know this forum is not monitored by the company, right?  Your best bet is to keep (*politely*) emailing [email protected] with your order number in the subject line, and waiting as patiently as you can (which I COMPLETELY understand is difficult).

I wish I had a better answer for you, but this is the best I have.

See.. that's the other thing that's frustrating.. the lack of consistency.  Some people get an email response, immediately, others get nothing at all.  I'd emailed them 3x with questions, and have never gotten a response via email. Heck, the first email was mainly to check the status, and make sure someone was there at the wheel, before I ordered a Spring Giveaway package for a Frankensaber... the fact that I never heard back, within that timeframe, made me extremely wary of ordering anything else.

I heard from 'Will', via facebook one day.. only for him to tell me (outright lie) that their current orders were only taking 4 weeks.  Never bothered to even look at the fact that I gave him an order number, that was 7 weeks out.

That was the only response I ever got from him, and got zero answers from my followup questions... and, honestly, that was kind of the last shred of my patience.. and the fuse burned quick from there. (lying to a customer, is never the right response)

I filed a Paypal dispute on Friday, in hopes of getting SOME kind of response... still radio silence.

My honest hope is that they fill the order within the 14 days that Paypal gives them, or at least take the time to reach out.. because it makes zero sense why they're picking and choosing their email responses. *Shrug* As I said.. the inconsistency is driving me nuts.


I have attempted to do business with a few 'Other' places in the past a few years ago, and had a similar experience. Couldn't even get a simple question about a potential upgrade answered... which is why it'd taken me so long to look at this hobby, again.  That said, I can safely say, I've had good luck with 3 places recently (when I couldn't get US to answer, I spent the money I had set aside for the spring giveaway, with 3 'other guys'). They've been very responsive, and even though there's a back order on one of the products I've ordered, they've let their customers know, and are throwing in a freebie board upgrade for the delay.

The fact is, the 3 Ultrasabers that we picked up, a few weeks ago, are kind of awesome, (Apprentice v4, Apprentice v4 LE, and Initiate V5) and I was looking forward to potentially adding more US's to our collection.. but now I don't even know if that's going to happen.

This entire things feels like it's not just 1 problem caused by Covid.. I just suspect the Covid situation has amplified it. Hopefully, something is learned from this.. and not just on the customers' end.

Sorry, I assumed it was monitored by them since it looks like the forum was setup by them.

I do have really great news though, the company got back with me within an hour of my post and me sending another email today.  Everything is good to go!  Thanks UltraSabers, stay safe during the pandemic and I appreciate your assistance!

Well that's good to know since today is my 6 week mark and I've had no replies yet. I was super stoked to be waiting for these MBs when I first ordered them. Heck, they could cobble together 2 MB frankensabers with whatever parts they have around and I'd be really stoked.  ;D

It will be 8 weeks Tuesday and they won't give me an update. I did manage to get one of my questions answered after 6 weeks but no idea where m order is. I really don't want to do a charge back but I almost feel like I am going have too. This has been a terrible first time buying sabers.

If you feel you have to do a chargeback, then go ahead; I can’t stop you, of course.  All I can do is tell you that my own personal experience with UltraSabers stretches back to 2014, and that has led me to trust them to deliver the sabers that have been ordered.

Would I like faster (or some) response to emails?  Yup, I surely would.  That would go a LONG way towards making many of us happier about the wait times.  For me, in my situation (not necessarily for you or for others), I am willing to continue giving them the benefit of the doubt.

We feel your pain man! Just know, your Saber will arrive! Most people say the best way is to order and forget!. I ordered a Saber from another company with a 10 week lead time. I'm not expecting it till August lol.

i understand the whole pandemic creating a difficult time but i’m wondering if i purchase a saber now if i will be updated through time so that i am reassured my order isn’t forgotten? if that makes sense?? i had a friend order in april and it took him a few months to get his order in to the point he completely forgot he had bought it! i was just curious if there’s any updates to keep track of the order

I really don't want too. Though they really need to reply to emails. Waiting is fine. Especially with whats going on in the world. Just some kind of update would be great. Knowing the saber you ordered is out of stock from other people who ordered after and before you but them not letting you know is upsetting.

Hi

I ordered a mystery box with heavy duty ultra edge blade on May 11th and I am still waiting.

While I do figure my timing was bad and may have hit a busy time and the current state of the world is causing supply issues, I am somewhat disheartened.

I have since ordered a couple others, a second mystery box also with HGUE Blade (need something to arm someone else to spar with) and an Dark Initiate V2 with a 16" blade in Blazing Red for my little nephew (since it was the smallest I could find).

I have had a long time, very long time in my own obsessive head, to consider the various options, like sound, blade color and hilt selection. There are a couple hilts that, upon visual impressions, do not appear comfortable but I will reserve judgement until I am actually holding mine, and a couple colors that I would need to be creative to explain (though that is part of the fun, I figure Hot Pink is either a Red Blade almost purified to Silver or a Silver blade showing the first traces of corruption to Red.). I think the only think I would like to NOT get is the Lite Sound, since I have read that it is quite loud and drains batteries quickly, everything else I think I'm okay with.

Thanks for entertaining my musings


Title: Making changes to an order
Post by: Sphinx74 on June 29, 2020, 06:44:46 AM
I know there is alot of craziness going on right now. Alot of longer than normal wait times. It has been making me second guess myself, and I'm really wanting to make significant changes to my orders, such as removing some sabers and upgrading others to emerald. I, of course, sent a few emails to address my desired changes but I haven't heard back yet. My first order was may 31st, and my second on June 11. So the likelyhood of them even prepping my order any time soon is very low. My question is this... has anyone here tried to change their order during this crazy time? And were you successful before items were shipped?

And now their main website is down.... Oh no! Now I cant check the Processing status on my order 20 times today!!

In all seriousness, I hope they took it down and that they are majorly overhauling their site, Get rid of the promotional sales (until they are done being so overloaded with orders), fix their horrible service line to the consumer and get an actual email system or ticket system set up, actually for real update all of the hilts that are out of stock to give an accurate representation of inventory, and, sadly, update their lead times to reflect reality.

My man they have already lost track of their customer service process. I had to send 16 different emails, with plenty of space in between (waited 24-48 hours between each email) to FINALLY get someone to just update my shipping address.

Some people never get an answer.

The system is broken and emailing that email aint gonna break it more.

The site being down could be a sign of them getting back on track, updating lead times, out of stock hilts, etc.
I'm not sure they'd take down the current promo since it already advertised to run until mid July, but if their promotions are automated and "preprogrammed" months ahead of time, taking the site down could mean they're removing future sales? Or maybe just programming in a short break between promotions?

I remain optimistic

Could also be, they're finally getting someone in IT to fix some issues.

Their site has been flagging multiple AVs for awhile now, so hopefully this is a good sign. (I still suspect they were hacked, earlier, and that's why they're having so many issues... that's the ONLY reason that makes sense, to me.. so I'm going to stick with it)


EDIT: Their site is back up, and it's not being flagged by AV anymore.... again, suspect they brought in some IT.

in all honesty, I dont care if its not recommended or requested. its obvious no one is getting anywhere with the other emails, so if I can help them, Im going to. the costumer service process is clearly already lost. people are getting nowhere emailing the info or shipping emails. I ended up having to email Laura directly to get anywhere. so I say email her, or anyone else for that matter. US clearly bit off more than they can chew. so yes, I say email the representatives directly. Like Laura.

So... I posted a question yesterday and was notified that it was moved and redirected here. I cant seem to find it, so I'll just ask again... with the backlog and extended ship times ect. Has anyone second guessed themselves and attempted to change an order? If so how did that work out for you? Were you successful?
I placed two orders, one on may 31st, and another on june 11. I've had a bit of time to think it over and just want to drop a few sabers from my order and upgrade 2 others to emerald. Since I'm probably no where close to being processed for shipping, I'd imagine it wouldn't be a big deal. Any thoughts?

You're likely going to run into the same issue that many others have.. just getting customer service to respond. Several people have reported the fact they're moving, and need to just change their shipping info.. with no response. Other have said they wanted to change their orders, report something broken, or something missing/wrong...

... and still the result is kind of the same... getting a response is apparently hit or miss.

Did. No reply.

If they aren't responding to their own procedure after a MONTH, what are we meant to do?

They have $200 of my cash. It may not be much to some, but if a UK company took that much and didn't either 1) cough up the goods or 2) reply to my queries explaining the delay they would be out of business.

Or they'd end up on a consumer affairs programme with cameras in their faces.

At this point, I don't even have an avenue for recourse to CANCEL except getting my bank to challenge the payment.

this is exactly why Im posting that email. they aren't responding to the emails they've asked up to use, so what other option is there to get their attention? if you need/want to cancel, I say email Laura. and since people want to classify email info, its literally her name, Laura, at ultrasabers.com

WooHoo! Got my Crimson Scorpion today. (Ordered it exactly 1 week ago). I took a gamble and didn't upgrade to an AV switch because the last few sabers were upgraded to AVs for free, so I thought maybe they were out of Guarded switches, but to my surprise, it came with the Guarded switch.
I kinda like it on the Scorpion since it has that outer casing. Adds a touch of black to the red/silver which is nice.

That thing is a BEAST. Adding a few personal touches and I'll try to get a review up soon.
It's much bigger than I anticipated but still fairly comfortable.
Blue with Red FoC is fantastic, even in a Photon blade.
But I'm glad no one in my family is epileptic, because the lockup is intense.

New member here and 1st time saber buyer from US.

I ordered three sabers back in April and today I received an email for a delivery confirmation. This is the title of the email: Ultrasabers.com Delivery Confirmation - Response Requested

I was stoked! I had them sent to my employer but now being out of work for a bit, I called to find out if the package(s) had arrived. They have not.

One thing I noticed was this email was from ShopperApproved.com and offered three options on how to go about "replying" to it since it was a no reply sender.

1. Click a link if I had received my order
2. If the order hasn't been delivered yet, wait 24 to 48 hours then contact US
3. If I canceled the order, ignore the email.

Has anyone else received something like this? Is this a heads up that my order may have shipped?

I have my doubts as my order status on US is still processing but with the previous responses to this topic, that may not mean anything. I am not so sure I should be thrilled that if I haven't received my order that I need to contact US as a reply may require a lot of time.

I felt like a kid at Christmas this morning when I saw that email title but I'm now a little confused about it. I'm wondering if ShopperApproved.com is assuming I got it but I also really hope this isn't a method US is using to find out if they actually sent my order or not as they don't actually know if they finished it. Maybe it was forgotten.

Anyway, has anyone else received a similar email to this?

I applaude your good fortune, sir....even if i am a bit envious, LOL.

4 weeks for my big order as of today.  No word.  Tempted to shoot them an email just to make sure there are no problems with what I ordered and it's just a matter of they just haven't gotten to it yet.  That, I can live with.  It's the possibility that something's wrong that's killing me.  Not only that, i'm curious as to how long it would be before I got a reply.  I dunno, we'll see.

Yes, pretty much all of us have.  It’s an automated email sent out by a third party, and it has NO CONNECTION to whether your order has actually shipped or not, because that third party has no insight into UltraSabers’s inner workings. 

Your order didn’t get lost; it’s just that this follow-up email sent to an apparently random sampling of customers was sent before your order got shipped.  So breathe more easily, because a) it’s not a spam or phishing email, and b) it does NOT mean that someone else received or stole your order.  Also, try (although it’s hard) to contain your disappointment that this doesn’t mean your order has shipped.

still waiting on a mystery box and circle plug from 5/9.

Just sent my second email requesting a response or shipping by the end of the week. Prefer shipping, but just a response this time would be an improvement. At that point I will go with the chargeback route. Don't really want to because that will make it more difficult and ultimately impossible to work with many credit card issuers or processors, but if they don't seem to care I don't think the onus should be on me to. I paid and I've been overly patient. That's my role.

The potential sparring group that this was a proof of concept purchase for lost interest in dealing with US a couple weeks ago. Tried to support the local small business (22 miles away), but they clearly don't have their s#$t together. Hard for any product to overcome service like this.

First time buyer! Aeon LEV5, tri-fire orange, orange illuminated silver AV switch, arbiter/archon classic pommel, silver/gold covertech wheel, OS Lite sound, 40 inch heavy grade blade with pointed tip; also the free initiate promo saber. Ordered May 24. I've sent a few emails because I forgot to add the note about covertech wheel placement, but no response. I'm willing to wait a few more weeks if that's what it takes though, and I'm sure they will put the wheel somewhere sensible if they didn't see my message. I plan to flip the gold claws around because I think they will look cooler that way.

First order in 6 years; conned my friends into making a group order. I realize $900 for an order is chump change in this group  :P  but it’s a hefty chunk of change for us.

I’m looking forward to my uh... um... you know it’s been so long since I ordered, I forgot which one I bought this time LOL. Basic sound and the violet amethyst color, that much I remembered. My friend got one with a diamond controller and my other friend the new empress with basic sound.

Tomorrow will be 8 weeks for a $75 Mystery Box. I just contacted PayPal to dispute the charge. At this point I just want my money back. I would be more patient if I could get any kind of reply from them about why a mystery box is taking so long.

Be aware.. just filing the dispute won't start the refund.. you'll have to 'escalate' it.


I only know this, because it's what Paypal told me when I inquired to see if they had a way to get in contact with anyone at US. They recommended the dispute option, and then if I don't hear anything.. to escalate it.  I'm trying not to go that far, here... was hoping they'd get the notification and pay some attention to it.

I'm planning on moving in the next month or 2, so I'm worried about that too. I just past 6 weeks for my RGB Aeon v2.
The earliest I'll be moving will put my order around 11 weeks.
Thankfully there don't seem to be many people who have had to wait that long, so I remain optimistic.

When we do move, it will likely be slow since it's just down the street and we'll have 60 days to move. So even if it takes 12+ weeks, I may still be at my current address.

Depending on what carrier you selected, you can put a forwarder in, in most cases.. if you selected FedEx, IIRC, you can call them and explain the situation... BUT.. if memory serves, it's per name and/or sender.

I appreciate that. I always use USPS, so it'll be with them.
The only time I've used FedEx, the delivery guy "skipped" my house days in a row and claimed they knocked but no one was home. Despite me working from home those days and being less than 10ft from my door.

I've never had that issue with USPS and the postman that delivers to our apartment complex knows me by name now that I've had so many long box orders delivered from either US or TCSS.

Around here, for us, USPS tends to sort of 'miss' days... especially the weekends. Fedex does a good job.. and UPS.. well.. they seem to have... err.. issues.


Example:

When I get anything coming in, via UPS, I load up their app, and 'track my delivery'... it shows you, on a map, where your package currently is, when it's local.. where the truck is, within a min or so... so far so good... right? This morning.. I've watched the truck with my packages go past my house, 3x in the app..  not sure the dude follows the delivery course that they have plotted out for them. *shrug*

I will also be having a couple long, tube shaped boxes delivered, today.. all the way from Hong Kong.... I'll let you do the math. :) Oh.. and we have a toaster oven coming, too.. because my wife and daughter finally got sick of picking cat hair outta the toaster.. LOL

So, I really like US, and customer service prior to this point has always been pretty good.

And, obviously, a pandemic is the worst possible circumstances.

The way US currently handles emails is pretty bad? I dont expect my fancy flashlight anytime soon but there should be some other form of communication besides promotions.

Hmmm... I guess the extra room in the toaster oven as compared to the toaster means the cats will fit better, and therefore will leave less of themselves on the heating elements?

I’m not quite sure I follow you.

*laughing* Toaster ovens have a front door that remain closed when not in use... the toaster just sits, with the exposed slots open to the air... so the occasional random hair falls into it.

My daughter and wife fixed some toaster pastries the other day, and both were spitting out cat hair that had apparently built up inside. It was a bit disgusting, but hilarious at the same point.

Needless to say, it was less funny when my wife demanded that we get rid of the toaster and get a 'proper toaster oven'.. lol

You have to admit, though, that cats are fond of a) fitting themselves into small spaces where it would appear they could not possibly fit, and b) snuggling up in warm spots.

Oh.. don't I know it, I even told my wife that to be careful with leaving that thing open.. our youngest cat isn't the brightest...  lol


In other news.. still no contact from US... I'm even willing to consider trading the mystery box order, at this point, for a custom one.. just to get this order moving forward.. *grumbling*

They've not even responded to Paypal's contact attempts.. it's mind boggling to me.

So, to keep myself hopeful, and to be sure that we're ready once my son's dark initiate and my fallen (bonus 4 weeks for parts!) finally arrive, I ordered a quick disconnect coupler on 6/17.  It showed up today!  Woo-hoo!  I plan to swap the Fallen emitter for the male side of the coupler, to better mimic the end of the broken single saber from the game.

No shipping email, and still shows as "Processing" on my account page.  Go figure!  A nice piece, though!  I'll be using it to test our my Aluminum darkening solution.

Radio silence on emails all around. My original order was for black, no engraving, red blade, orange flash on clash. I emailed to ask if I could change the FoC to Violet Amethyst. Who knows if that will happen or not! A roll of the dice at this point!  :D ???

I came here to complain that it's been 5 days over my 4 week lead time and my order still says "processing", but reading some of your guys waits is humbling.
I even got a nice email from Laura when I jumped the gun and complained that my order hadn't been added to my page on the site.

As this is my first Saber I have no reference. Is this kind of "Playing it loose" with posted wait times normal?

With so little communication it's easy to feel like your order has fallen through the cracks :/

Extremely disappointed. I am missing screws and a wrench to assemble the blade to hilt. The film inside the blad keeps coming out, I received a rounded tip instead of the pointed tip I ordered, and now the pink LED light is turning red and flickering out. I spent over $400 on this and I cannot believe no one has contacted me to resolve this issue. I guess I will be patiently waiting for a response.

    It’s not the “normal normal,” but sadly, it does seem to be the “new normal.”  We old-timers look forward to when the service levels return to their prior stellar heights.  The newcomers do not have our experience to bolster their faith and hope.

    We old-timers are used to having sabers in our hands in (sometimes) two weeks or less, and super-rapid responses to email inquiries.

    Yeah, I placed my order on 5/5 and still nothing. I understand things are difficult with everything going on, but I'm not sure if I'd buy from US again. It's a good chunk of change to pay to be completely ignored and seemingly disregarded.

    If I wanted that kind of treatment I would have stayed with my ex.    :P

    That does boost my spirits a little bit, have an order from May 4th that I'm holding out for! It has two sound sabers on it though so from what I've read the whole order might be held up for a random part that's out of stock. -Fingers crossed- Then we're on to waiting for the June 1st one XD

    Well if you're going to be that way about it, my guess isn't a guess, it's guaranteed to be correct:

    Sometime between when you place the order and the eventual heat death of the universe.  ;D  ::)


    But narrowed down, and less likely to be correct:

    Somewhere between when you order it and ~12 weeks, depending on how many of what you order.

    I decided that if I don't get a reply confirming my address change by the end of the week I'm going to dispute the charges with my CCC. I'm fine waiting but I can't abide by bad customer service and US takes the cake with it so far. I'm happy to wait 18 weeks if I need to for my order but I think 11 days (and counting) to confirm an address change is ridiculous. I told Timothy (the rep who was briefly replying to my concerns) this much in an email but I'm assuming it's not being read or being ignored.

    We old-timers are used to having sabers in our hands in (sometimes) two weeks or less, and super-rapid responses to email inquiries.

    Old timer here, bought two sabers back in ‘14, I talked two of my friends into a joint order because I raved what a fantastic company this is... was... now I’m here with egg on my face feeling like an ass. They know it’s not my fault but I’m embarrassed.

    And I ordered a saver from a competitor yesterday; because I don’t think I can trust US again after this, and messaged that company via Facebook “what are the chances I’ll see my order by Saturday” I got a response a little while later that said “well you lost today.... but if I box it up now, wake up early and go to the post office as opposed to waiting for pickup, there’s a chance!!”
    ..... yeah, I got a response in less than an hour, had a great q&a with them, AND He’s going to make a special trip to get my order (that had free shipping) out sooner than usual. That’s what customer service above and beyond looks like.

    Chances are I may not be back. US went from the top dog - to - dying on a hill called “reputation”. I would honestly be surprised if they are still around this time next year. And it’s not the pandemic, it’s the customer service. If you can’t answer a few emails while sitting on the toilet using your phone, you clearly do not care about customers at all.

    Exactly.  I love it when people say that the forum isn't associated with US.  I mean the rules that we are all required to read specifically say:

    Rule #2 - No advertising
    This is a forum run and owned by Ultra Sabers; it is our home.


    so it's their home... but they refuse to engage with customers here... why? because they don't want to have to talk to us i guess?

    I don't know.... they need to change something with their responses to their customers or they might be headed down a road to oblivion.

    However, the other side to this coin is that they are getting so many orders that they can't keep up, so maybe their plan is working?  Seems like a bad plan to me, but what do I know.  Maybe it costs more to deal with "needy" customers then it does to just advertise and get new customers....

    I totally get the frustration about the forum not being a way to get in touch with US reps. Especially since the method we are told to use does not result in immediate reply, if any at all.

    However, keep in mind that many of us already have sabers and are enthusiastic to share info about them, or ask questions from other owners, or share our customizations.
    If this forum was a way to get direct communication with US reps, that's ALL this forum would be, sadly.
    And that would ruin the experience that so many of us want from this site.
    That's the ENTIRE reason this thread exists: to consolidate complaints that would otherwise detract from the other threads.

    Of course, if US had prompt customer service, this would not be an issue, but here we are.
    I've said it before and I'll say it again: on top of everything going on on the world, Ultrasabers is a victim of its own success. They've taken on more orders than they can handle and made a processing promise they can't deliver on.
    We all know it would have been a simple fix to list much higher lead times, but US wants to continue claiming the "fastest shipping in the galaxy". Maybe they need to reassess that goal?

    The main takeaway from this rant is that US isn't living up to the standards they claim, but for those of us who HAVE had good experiences with them, we come here to share that and talk about our awesome sabers. That's the point of this forum.

    Although it would certainly be great if they setup a sub forum specifically for people to contact CSRs.

    Did you get a shipping notice ahead of time?  when did you get that if so?

    I received an "order complete" with tracking number e-mail on 6/26 and the saber was delivered that Monday (6/29). So they definitely hold up to the "fastest shipping in the galaxy" claim.

    Having run a forum for a company community I can wholeheartedly disagree with this. Yes, order questions would come into the forum as is natural but with a proper customer service line that would be a non-issue. The people who live on the forums will still post about what they usually post and it won't get drowned out. This is also why you have forum moderators to remove any posts going against the rules.

    Update:

    I heard back from Aria, after CCing info@ along with Timothy who I had been talking to and who went radio silent on me 12 days ago. Turns out that apparently he's been "out of the office" which is why he wasn't replying. Aria changed my shipping address and I got an email from US confirming this, along with her letting me know the order should ship soon.

    I also let them know about the conversations going on here since I think those are valuable to a company. If you're not gonna listen to your customers and heed their complaints it's only a matter of time until people who have been supporting you decide to stop.

    Nah, don't worry.   You'll get your order; all we're saying is that given the current state of, well, everything, that it's gonna take a while.

    Give it about 8 weeks - yes, it's a hard wait but hang in there, padawan - and if you haven't gotten your order by then, send them a POLITE AND FRIENDLY email with your order number in the subject, tell them when you ordered, how long it's been, and you just want to know what the scoop is.  That's about all you can do.

    But you will get your order.   8)

    Today is Week 7 on my Dominicide (ordered on May 13th) and Friday will be 9 weeks on my Phantom Initiate V4 (ordered May 1st). I sent one email about a week ago and nothing.

    I am getting a little annoyed now. I have been buying US sabers since Feb 2016 and this is my first problem with them.

    It might be my last problem with them...

    Strictly my opinion, but if this is the first problem you've had in 4 years, that's not a bad track record.

    Don't get me wrong, they are definitely having problems.  And if you've been waiting for that amount of time, it's quite understandable that you're getting annoyed, especially if others who have ordered after you have gotten theirs first.  I'm just saying,  some of this is out of their hands; don't go burning the bridge just yet.

    Notice that I said SOME of this; if they don't learn and don't improve on what they can control, that's a different story.

    I actually ordered the same day as you.. so week 7 rolled today, and week 8 has begun.

    I sent an email to info, last night, just to see if it'd make sense to change my order to something they can complete sooner.. no response, as of yet, obviously.


    In related news, I received 3 'other guys' products via UPS last night, and one of theirs had something wrong with it. (wouldn't change sound fonts, was 'stuck' on one) I emailed them last night, as soon as I noticed it, and got a response at 10pm, apologizing, and letting me know they'd get a replacement out, this morning... I got the Fedex, overnight, shipping info... at 9am this morning.. and then I got an email, apologizing again, and letting me know they're throwing in a blade plug as an apology. I'm to send the broken one, back, after I confirm the new one works as expected. (including prepaid shipping label)

    THAT is how you run a company... Customer service, response within 24 hours, and when you screw up.. own it.. and fix it ASAP. I'd never done business with that company, and they treated me like I was a long time customer.. THAT is what is awesome.

    *Sigh* Now I sit back, and wait to see if I hear anything from US in the next few days... I REALLY hate doing paypal refunds.. they always make me feel like I've done something wrong.. (Either picked the wrong company to order from, or was too impatient with that company)

    Agreed. I've only been ordering with the since Dec19, so only 7 months now, right when all this started.
    But even though I've had issues with some of my orders, Ultrasabers has always delivered (pun intended) to my satisfaction.

    Given the circumstances, I don't plan on pressing my luck any time soon. I've been lucky with most of my recent orders but I do have a 5/18 order still processing.
    Once I get that, I'm probably gonna chill for a while and hopefully US gets everything straightened out by the next time I get the lightsaber itch.

    "Hello Travis,

     

    Thank you for your order with Ultrasabers.  At Ultrasabers we typically are able to get all of our orders shipped out with 1-3 business days, however with the current world events we have faced many delays and stock issues due to limiting staff to ensure distancing both at the workshop and machine shop to keep everyone healthy and safe.  And due to this unprecedented event we have a lead time of an estimated  4 weeks.  I apologize for any inconvenience with the delay and we will do our best to get this order shipped out for you as quickly as we possibly can.  We will email you the tracking # as soon as this order ships out.

     

    Additionally, the Fallen is one of the sabers we are experiencing delays on. With the limited staffing at our machine shop they are sending us weekly shipments of hilts but these shipments are smaller. We expect to receive out next shipment of The Fallen in 4 – 5 weeks.

     

    Thanks for choosing Ultrasabers.  Feel free to email us here with any other questions or concerns."


    Finally got an email response. So I guess another month for me on the Fallen black and silver hilts. Hope this helps someone get a better idea of a lead time. However, i dont buy the 4 week lead time.

    So I went to a recommended restaurant last night.  A lot of folks had raved about their food.  I went in, was seated quickly and handed a menu.  I made my selection, placed the order, and paid the waiter up front (odd, but ok).  Then, there I sat.  No waiter, no food, just me and my thoughts.  Hours went by and still nothing.  As more time passed, I tried to get the attention of my waiter, then other servers, then just the attention of anyone that worked there.  It was crazy.  They all just ignored me.  Other patrons sitting nearby told me not to worry, the food will eventually show up and it's going to be great!  I told them, "oh, I've been ignored before...I've been a customer of Ultrasabers".  They all, nodded, empathetically.

    We are experiencing some delays with our machine shop sending us hilts. They are facing limited staffing and the weekly shipments of hilts they are sending us are smaller batches. Our fabricators are working 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to fabricate orders and have them shipped out as soon as possible. I hope our customers continue to spread the good word on how hard we are working to assist our customers.

    Because the Fallen isn't scheduled until the batch 4 weeks from now?
    They've got dozens of different hilt variants, many of which have sub variants (anodizing), so it's not realistic to think they get every variant restocked each week.
    There's probably a rotation like this:
    Week 1 a batch of hilts A, B, C is made of 1000 each.
    Week 2 a batch of hilts D, E, F and so on.

    It might not be until Week 5's batch that a specific hilt is set to be made.
    That's understandable from that perspective, but it would be nice if their website said this.

    I dont know why I didn't think of that. Its completely unrealistic of me to expect them to get some of each hilt every week. No sarcasm intended. But I agree clearer information would be welcomed. Now I have read in another thread they were told on the 29th of June it would be 3-4 weeks rather than 4-5 I was told today.

    I started the dispute process with my CC earlier this week before the window to do so closed. Week 6 passed and none of my email inquiries on availability of parts in my order were replied to. Now that I see the info regarding Fallen hilts, we're looking at an approximate total wait of 10 weeks. Some have suggested to FB message them but I shut my account down years ago. We shouldn't have to resort to that path when the automated message that plays after dialing their number says "the best way to get a hold of us is through email". 

    I'm pretty damn patient but it's very upsetting that they're still taking orders on the Fallen. I just checked and the lead time still says 3-4 weeks. At the minimum, they need to go into the product page and update that to really say 8-10 weeks. That doesn't take more than 5 minutes to do it. I build sites on the side so regardless of what tool/software/platform their site is built on, it doesn't take more than 5 minutes to update that text and deploy the change. That alone, imo, would alleviate a good amount of the frustration expressed by many in this thread.

    I'll keep an eye out on this thread and place a new order once they've sorted things out. Good luck to everyone who's willing to wait it out.

    I think he meant that the people making the hilts are not the people answering the emails.  The fabricators being busy doesn't mean that the Customer Service reps can't at least keep their customers informed.

    Oh and yeah it sucks that my email saying 3-4 weeks for the Fallen is now 4-5 weeks..... not surprised.

    The 8 weeks thing is at least some comfort to me. The sabers I ordered from US are gifts for my Sister & Nephew. I ordered one for myself from another company with an 8 week lead time, so if I get them all at once it won't be ideal but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I have a duel scheduled in August with an old friend. If I get none of the sabers before the end of August I will turn to the dark side, lol.

    100% agree. The no rhyme or reason is really annoying. But I do hope that our delays will be met with cool hilts. I saw a post on reddit tonight - where an order of 3 $75 MBs hilts that just arrived were very nice (Empress, Initiate LE v5, Aeon LE v2)!

    Not going to lie I saw that too and while I'm happy for that person it kinda upset me. I'm waiting on a back empress and as far as I can tell they are sold out. I have seen 3 or 4 post of people getting they are sold out emails, not that I can get a reply from anyone, but oh well. I guess ill just be waiting for who knows how long.

    May the force be with you

    Updates on the website have been kind of haphazard lately, we don't know why.  The main thing is that you have your receipt and order number; that is proof that they did get your order, and they'll process it when they can.  Once it ships, they'll email you the tracking information.   You won't need to check it on the website.

    This is what upsets me. I ordered a mystery box on 5/6 and still processing. I'm happy for you but that's bull. I just want my money back and I'll deal with another company from now on.

    I ordered mine on the 15th, so 9 days after yours. I ended up putting in a refund with Amazon Pay and they emailed me a couple of hours after that and said they'd send the MB in 1-2 days. Before that I wasn't getting any replies to emails.

    I started the dispute process with my CC earlier this week before the window to do so closed. Week 6 passed and none of my email inquiries on availability of parts in my order were replied to. Now that I see the info regarding Fallen hilts, we're looking at an approximate total wait of 10 weeks. Some have suggested to FB message them but I shut my account down years ago. We shouldn't have to resort to that path when the automated message that plays after dialing their number says "the best way to get a hold of us is through email". 

    I'm pretty damn patient but it's very upsetting that they're still taking orders on the Fallen. I just checked and the lead time still says 3-4 weeks. At the minimum, they need to go into the product page and update that to really say 8-10 weeks. That doesn't take more than 5 minutes to do it. I build sites on the side so regardless of what tool/software/platform their site is built on, it doesn't take more than 5 minutes to update that text and deploy the change. That alone, imo, would alleviate a good amount of the frustration expressed by many in this thread.

    I'll keep an eye out on this thread and place a new order once they've sorted things out. Good luck to everyone who's willing to wait it out.

    I'm at day 8 with PP dispute, no communication from US to PP, but it should be over soon enough. The big problem with me is now I am hooked on US products with purchasing 4 US sabers from privates sellers during my wait and no response time with US .  WIll keep you all updated when I hear more.

    Something for everyone to keep in mind is that if US is prioritizing orders because of disputes, that puts everyone else's orders farther behind, thus increasing the chances that more people get impatient and file disputes.
    It's a vicious circle of what is basically a bunch of people "skipping line".

    I'm not bringing this up to make anyone feel bad for doing so. I agree the larger issue is US not setting the realistic time expectations, I just always think it's important for everyone to know how their actions affect everyone else.

    I have similar views on the food industry and retail: if working either was a mandatory part of high school curriculum, the world would have far less Karens

    Absolutely agree. I worked a few retail jobs when I was younger, and I'm usually the first person to come to the defense of retail workers when people are being rather belligerent towards them.

    I never escalated my dispute with Paypal, myself, so there was no threat to them losing money from me (yet).

    As such, I'm happy to report I got shipping info, last night, for my order... this was actually AFTER I went about a way of contacting them in a slightly different manner than what has been outlined, here. (No, I'm not going to disclose the way I did it, as I suspect the point of contact may not have appreciated the method). I don't know if it made any difference, but I know I at least got in touch with someone.

    So, just anxiously awaiting the delivery in the next few days, I suspect it will be worth the wait.


    Again, just to be clear, so no one thinks otherwise.. my ONLY issues have been the lack of communication. Waiting isn't something I had any issues with.. it was ONLY the fact that communication has been erratic. If an order was bumped 'out of line', as it were.. then a simple explanation as to WHY it was bumped out of line, would have made all of the difference in the world. 

    For example.. if someone had said: 'Hey, we bumped the orders with a single mystery box, for the spring giveaway, up in line... because we had the rest of the order ready to go, and we didn't want to keep 50 orders of 4-5 sabers sitting around the office, waiting to ship... ', then I would have been fine with that.. just communication is key :)

    Oh, my friend, I can tell you from direct experience, people don't care about that; i work in an office that deals directly with the public (my job is a lot of accounting/pension calculations) and we are VERY up front about how long it takes us to process stuff and when the wait times will be longer and honest to God, people don't give a damn.

    I filed a dispute because I wanted my money back, not so I can get my saber sooner. They don't have any Fallen hilts in stock so why shouldn't I have the option for a refund? Being a first time customer, the least they could do is adjust the expectations as opposed to over promising. From what I've seen in this thread, sending a cancellation email gets me nowhere.

    I've received the provisional credit from my cc already so I'm good there. US has till the 24th of August to reply to the dispute. If I they happen to fulfill the order before then, great; if not, least I was able to get a refund.

    At least you & your team are transparent and set the proper expectations. If someone from US did the same early on, I don't think there'd be this many frustrated people. Lead time still says 3-4 weeks. I gave an additional 2, only to find out that inventory on my order is going to take an extra 4-5 weeks. Had I not found this forum/thread, I'd have missed the window to get my money back.

    If people weren't waiting and watching others get the same thing they ordered months earlier within weeks, or Scorpions within a week of ordering, without getting any response, reasoning, or information as to why then they wouldn't be filing disputes. You have it completely backwards. The people disputing are tired of being the ones skipped in line. That is something US needs to keep in mind.

    I've done customer service, field service, tech support, and network engineering amongst many other things. In many different fields. Have owned two different companies myself. This situation is absolutely unjustifiable. US customer support is atrocious. No statement. No site updates. Not a peep. Just more sales and ads everywhere.

    I haven't requested a charge back yet, but tomorrow is the final day I'm waiting for shipping information and/or ANY response at all. Even giving them until midnight so I will file on Monday which is right on the limit for the maximum time to do so.

    I’m also patiently waiting for my Fallen Diamond controller spring giveaway order (4 total sabers: mystery, initiate and grab bag as well). And I’ve only been waiting a few weeks for mine.

    Here’s how I’m dealing with it. I ordered a saber from another company at the same time $160, 6 sound fonts, RGB blade, pulse mode unstable mode and flash on clash. Don’t get me wrong, not in the same boat as US in quality, but it’s a good saber, and I got it 14 days after ordering.    So I’ve got a appetizer saber to bide my time while waiting on the main course.

    I also ordered about 7 pieces from Wish to put together a good Sith outfit and now I wait to see which comes first, the Wish stuff or the sabers.

    It makes the waiting game more fun.   Just my two cents.

    Oh, I totally agree with you; US really needs to change things around as far as communication goes.  People getting frustrated over waiting 9, 10, 11 weeks after being told 3-4 weeks originally is understandable.   My cynicism comes from telling people that it'll take 2 months after they retire to process their pension (which is paid retro to their retirement date and even then we're able to process after only one month in a lot of cases) only to have people call us 2 DAYS after they've retired and DEMANDING that we get their pension done IMMEDIATELY.  

    That's the nonsense I'm talking about.  If we did things the way US does, we'd be raked over the coals, and rightfully so.

    Devils advocate here.

    The problem with anything on the net, is that when people are happy.. they don't bother to go out and post, review, or research a company/product.

    Examples:
    You ordered something.. you got what you wanted in the time you wanted.
    You have a job, and you're perfectly happy working there.
    You hired someone, to do a job, and it went exactly as expected.


    In MOST cases, things went the way you expect them to, so you have no reason to post or research.

    However.. when things go wrong, we humans tend to try to find out if we were the only ones that had problems. Was it personal? Was it just you? Is the product to blame?


    That's when people on the net tend to band together, and start tearing something apart into small pieces. (Heck, we're doing it, right here in this thread.. and I'm just as guilty of it, as others)


    So... when you see something like this on the net (same thing with BBB stuff), it only exists, because either:
    A.) you're the 5% or so that actually bother to review things you love... and thus, it has a positive result.. or
    B.) You're the 99% that, when disgruntled, start to pick at the issue, and find out where things went wrong.

    Of course.. then there's C.) You dislike something, just on principal, and you want to tear it down.


    So.. whenever you see stuff like BBB reports, and Indeed, and yes.. even online forums.. realize you're always going to be able to find hundreds/thousands of people to find things wrong with a product/company/person


    Do I think all of those reviews are legit? No.. but I suspect there's some truth to them.. BUT, then again.. how many of those posts were made by past employees, vs current ones?


    What I recommend.. in most cases, for any online product or business:

    Take the current value/score of what it's rated at, vs what its max value is.. and then average the 2... That's probably closer to an accurate representation of a product/company... because you're getting rid of some of the 'human factor'. |


    If you ever see something rated at 100%, or 0%.... run away.. because that's not how the world works... possible? Sure.. plausible.. heck no. :)


    (if anyone decides to accuse me for sticking up for US, please go back and read all my previous posts.. ;)


    I believe US is like many other companies.. trying to do their best, but making mistakes as they go. The question is, do they learn from it?

    No, you didn't trigger me; believe me, I'm not about to defend them on what they're doing wrong as far as their communication issues go.   I just didn't see the point of what you posted.

    Look, bottom line is, you're going to get your order, even if it is taking a while.  You're not out of a lot of money.  I've plunked down some serious moolah too, and I have yet to see anything to suggest that I won't get my orders.

    I would take the content there with a pretty large grain of salt as has been mentioned previously.

    However, also shows that:
    saber technician (Sept 2019)
    fabricator (Nov 2019)
    Fabricator (Jan 2020)
    technician/shipping/fabrication (May 2020)

    Have all left pretty recently. Just like you are more apt to write reviews when you are pissed, you are not likely to wait months or even weeks then go back to do it. That's a red flag of its own.

    Shipping Supervisor (Apr 2020) is still there, but seemingly disgruntled.

    Doesn't look like things will change for the positive any time real soon. Texas is shutting back down and they have people that will need to be trained or will be running shorthanded. Sounds like they already may have been. Also, kinda makes their treatment of customers seem rather nice in comparison if you do believe some of what is written.

    So I'm fairly new to the Forum and I am "patiently" waiting on my very first ultrasaber. So as per usual like everybody else here I've tried to contact them and got pretty much no answer the last contact I got from them said to wait one to two business days and they would let me know what was going on, that was three weeks ago. So I made my order on May 13th I was just wondering if anybody else has made an order around that time and gotten their saber. I understand they're busy at Ultra sabers hence the reason I have turned to The Forum to see if I can get any answers, thank you

    I would take the content there with a pretty large grain of salt as has been mentioned previously.

    Here’s the part your missing - the one at the bottom where US replied and literally corroborated what the others have said. “Take as many breaks as you want but clock out” sorry, bathroom breaks do not require clocking out at any company anywhere on the planet but there. Lunch and 15m breaks? Some places. Bathroom breaks? No where.

    Here’s what killed me: “ Yes, the owners are successful. Very successful. Because the company is successful. Very successful.”

    I don’t have to read between the lines to see “frell you I’m famous”. Even if most of our employers are waxing our asshole when they say “we are successful because of our people” or “our customers” but the way he wrote that literally comes across as “frell you peasants! I’m your god now!”

    I’ve been lucky enough to get an email correspondence; I know I will get my sabers soon enough, I never had a doubt. But what I learned about US this week, sickens me. My US sabers will be the lightsaber equivalent to a blood diamond. The suffering that went into creating a subpar product for a top shelf price, is almost painful. But those who suffered to bring me the product will have done so in vain if I don’t keep them at this point.

    But it’s not all bad!! I know I can’t speak of anything without being banned and probably sued by the prick who runs the joint LOL but I will say this did help me to find a competitor with a superior product, at a lower cost, with 10x the features of even the “diamond saber”-(which would be great if this was still 2005), with customer service I don’t even get at my local eatery lol. So thanks to the disgusting business practices of Ultrasabers, I found a better place to grow my collection for a fraction of the cost.

    After being a long time customer, I. Am. Outta Here!

    Rolling into week 12.  :(

    Just an empty Consular, empty Lost Gray, and 3 blades.  No electronics or customizing at all.

    Perhaps against my better judgement, I pulled the trigger on a Crimson Princess, Guardian Blue, Violet Flash on Clash, Obsidian Lite.

    From my first (ever!) order (June 14th) to today's order, 18 days have passed. My order number was a high 78xxxx for the Empress in June and low 79xxxx for today's order.

    Specifically, a little more than 5,500 orders have taken place in the last 18 days since my last order. Meeting that demand would mean making more than 300 sabers a day. If open for 12 hours, it's more than 25 sabers per hour.

    While I hate that they are truly awful at communicating, and with a decade of customer service management in my history, their inability to communicate is infuriating. But honestly, it's clear that they are massively overwhelmed with orders that are taking much longer to get through.  Hopefully every body on staff is busy making sabers and that's why they don't reply to anything. But also, their backlog certainly isn't helped by seemingly endless promotions (Not going to lie, 15% off, plus the points from my last order were tough to look away from with that itch for the Princess). That's how they get ya. And they're suffering a customer service backlash as a result.

    I don't expect my Empress any time soon, and I'm fully expecting my pre-ordered Princess to.... maybe show up by Christmas?

    I've definitely reassessed my own expectations after lurking here for the past few weeks.  Everything is still new to me, and these are my first "big boy lightsabers." But it still looks like it will be a quality product for a very reasonable price, once it ever arrives.

    From what I've observed, not having bells and whistles added doesn't necessarily mean you get anything faster.
    If the hilt is out, it's out for weeks. And they're aren't great at updating availability on the website.
    In fact, some of the fastest recent orders I've made had V4 sound added.

    But hang in there, your order will come. Keep us posted.

    Whelp, I did it.  Don't know why I did it, as it is going to stretch my money really thin for a little bit.  But with that being said....

    (im)Patiently waiting for my Premium Obsidian V4 Sound Renegade LE.

    Ugh, I only just purchased this a couple of minutes ago and I'm having buyer's remorse.  But, that being said, at least after this one, I will have gotten all the sabers that I currently want at the moment.

    My blazing red Dominix LE V5 /w Obsidian sound and Shock LE pommel and gold claws (which I easily was able to flip) finally showed up today!!!  It is my first saber and I have to say I'm extremely happy with it.  I was a little nervous how that pommel would look on the Dominix but it looks awesome.  I ordered it on 5/14 , so roughly 6 weeks of waiting for production and 1 week of shipping.

    Here’s the part your missing - the one at the bottom where US replied and literally corroborated what the others have said. “Take as many breaks as you want but clock out” sorry, bathroom breaks do not require clocking out at any company anywhere on the planet but there. Lunch and 15m breaks? Some places. Bathroom breaks? No where.

    So, someone earlier talked about how Indeed isn't really a good way to vet a company. People really only go on those things to complain anyway right? And I agree.

    Except...that statement. That statement right there.

    Clocking out on bathroom breaks.

    If you go to work and you have to pee? You don't clock out. You go and you return to work. Obviously if you use bathrooms as a way to avoid work while being paid, disciplinary actions solve those problems.

    But the statement made by US on that Indeed page basically confirms that bathroom breaks require clocking out, which is WAY more than suspect.

    Ordered may 14th. Still no communication outside "theres a 4 week lead time etc etc".  Both my wife and I are losing our patience.  If they communicated it'd be one thing. But the only thing I see from them is "look at this sale... get x sabers free with x purchase...." I get thier behind, but they seriously need to do something here....

    Identical order to mine apart from sound (mine was Lite), right down to the blade colour, and that also just shipped (ordered 23/4) so looks like they were low on Apprentice hilts and/or orange LEDs.

    Interesting read...

    https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Ultrasabers/reviews?fcountry=US (https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Ultrasabers/reviews?fcountry=US)

    Well, this makes me sad.  Yes, of course it has to be taken in context, but having dealt with people, I think I get a sense of where the truth lies.  I certainly don’t get a feeling that this is the passionate company that I assumed it must be, that I think most of us wanted it to be.  If it were, the communications issues wouldn’t be there, for a start.  If this is how customers are being treated, I have very little reason to doubt the stories of employee mistreatment. I don’t want to go to the trouble of cancelling my order, but I can’t see myself placing another.   :-\

    I will say for the sake of not stirring up anything, I took a look at those reviews and have a lot of interesting opinions on them that I will not post for the sake of keeping this thread from derailing even more.  I will only say, 12 years in business (from looking at their BBB page) vs. reviews that only started a year ago.

    Now, that being said, can we get back on to the topic of this thread which was to talk about what we purchased, why we purchased it, and just venting about the wait times and the like.

    Well, if we're going by business days like US does when they list their processing time online ("3-4 weeks, or 15-20 business days"), then today finishes week 5 for me, since I placed my order on a Monday.  

    Given the fact that The Fallen is out of stock and Texas is basically going through Coronageddon Part 2, I'm figuring on another 5 business weeks before I hear anything.  Maybe.

    Good thing I ordered ahead for Christmas.   Ugh.

    Those reviews are from employees and former employees. It's a thing and it hasn't been around long but it speaks to company culture.

    I just placed an order (#79XXXX) to upgrade my Frankensaber to a Diamond, with a lighted AV switch, a charging port with a fast charger, a Covertec wheel, and a Covertec clip, plus I used the coupon code for the free blade plug.  If I get it before Labor Day (that's the first Monday in September, for those of you not familiar with US holidays), I'll call that a big win, since that would be about 9 weeks. 

    It took several attempts to get the information I needed to place the order (confirming the prices I had been given for these upgrades, instructions, etc.), but I simply kept sending an email to [email protected] from the email address used for my account at UltraSabers, and I included the order number from when I had won the Frankensaber in the subject line.  I waited about a week in between each email message, and I stayed polite.

    Good luck to all!

    You had the same idea as me - upgrade that bad boy!  I stuck with the regular Obsidian v4 for my Frankensaber,  but got the charging port and Flash on Clash.  I did not specify the color so that'll be a mystery (Oooooohhh...)   ;D

I have reached out via email 3x since the beginning of June and have not heard back yet... Order was placed on May 4th of all days. Starting to get a little worried/frustrated/etc.

    I thought 2+ months ahead I would have them for groomsmens gifts.. Hopefully they still come in the next couple weeks.

    So.. I've heard back from Customer Service today (giving me my tracking number, which I'd already gotten from the other contact, too :)

    I'll admit.. since this whole thing started.. I've been doing some.. err.. digging, into Ultrasabers... just to see if my initial suspicions on everything were true. (I hate speculating on things.. and never finding out the truth.. it bugs me to no end.. and my wife will tell you, when I have something that bugs me.. I start doing research.. LOTS of it)

    See, I feel like a number of the posts that have been made (both here, and on the reddit lightsaber group) felt a little... too forced. (no pun)

    So, after doing a LOT of research, and contacting people that I probably shouldn't (personal boundaries are things I struggle with, when it comes to research ;) ) I typed up a ton of info in this post... and then had my wife (my biggest critic) read it... and after her critique, I've decided, perhaps some of it isn't my story to tell... still got it all typed up.. just not sure if/how to post it all.

    So, to respect some privacy a bit more than I would have, originally (figure some of the quotes might be able to be traced back, due to the way they're worded) I thought I'd share some information and paraphrased quotes (in my own words):


    • The current order fulfillment issues are a combination of things including: supply chain issues, multiple mechanical breakdowns, and a few personal issues that happened within the last couple of months.
    • Their social distancing is being taken VERY seriously, due to at least one person that was impacted (severely) by Covid.
    • The couple of employees I chatted with, actually are EXTREMELY happy right now, since they have been allowed to learn a trade.
    • The lack of paid bathroom breaks are there for a specific reason (after hearing the reason, I understand why).
    • There's at least one ex-employee who has been trying to start up his own company, doing the same thing, and he's an ex-employee for a VERY good reason.
    • Almost every current employee I was able to chat with, indicated they're happy with their employment and the flexibility they have there. One employee said they were only 'content'. None of the current ones said they were unhappy, angry, or discontent.
    • The ordering system does NOT implement a single digit increase for every order, but they have seen a massive influx of orders, recently. (It's still in the thousands) Partly due to specials, May 4th, Rise of Skywalker home release, and of course.. there are a lot of people staying at home, so they have more time to spend on hobbies.
    • Specials are planned out, well in advance, and the advertising and such are already pre-paid for... so cancelling the specials and such, ahead of time, are actually not really possible.
    • The 'wage' thing, isn't as cut and dry as people make it out to be. Without going too much into it, let me explain it this way: Many food workers are paid minimum wage.. because that's their 'base' payment.. they then get paid tips and gratuities on top of that. So if you look at their how much they're paid per hour, it looks like the establishment that they work at, are cheap. Just as some retail salesmen that sell appliances and the like, aren't paid much as their base wage either.
    • Regarding the supply chain issues, Ultrasabers isn't the only company purchasing aluminum rods for manufacturing processes. Supply and demand kicks in, here.. smaller supply in the chain.. greater demand.. costs have gone up... yet, those costs haven't necessarily been passed onto the customers. Whether this remains true, or not, is yet to be seen.
    • Lack of parts in the chain, are actually one reason why so many of the extras needed for 'Mystery Boxes' aren't available. Normally Ultrasabers has a rather substantial amount of product coming in, to machine.. but since the supply has gotten smaller, there's less raw parts.
    • Current ownership aren't what people have recently made them out to be. Current employees were actually quite upset at some of the ugly comments that were made by the public. It was pointed out, that while the owner might be a bit flashy on social media from time to time, there's a lot they do for others, that no one ever sees... simply because when you do the right thing, you don't brag about it. (specifics were given, but being that I don't know how much of it is public knowledge, I don't feel right sharing it.. needless to say, if it IS true.. I feel like a jerk for ever pushing for my orders... just saying)


    So... that all said.. my original thoughts still stand... I believe there needs to be more communication from UltraSabers, but I understand a little bit more, as to why there isn't.

    An exact quote I was given, from Customer service, was this:

    "Unfortunately there isn’t a blanket statement that will help all of [OUR] customers so we’re doing everything we can to work with each individual order and to get all of our orders out as quickly as possible." (bracketed emphasis is mine)


    Hopefully, all of the information I've shared, here, is at least a little useful to folks. Now I get to sit here, and anxiously await my shipment to arrive on Sunday (according to Fedex). :)

    Caspian, thank you truly for going above and beyond the call of duty to find out things about what is going on currently with US.

    When I started noticing those posts and then the whole thing with employee reviews, several of my buttons were ticked heavily with how odd all this stuff I was seeing was.  The fact that you took time, talked with people who work there, and everything else is things that need to be done.  Not all this current complaining that a lot of people are doing.

    I mean, when I made my first and second purchased, I expected it to take some time due to massive influx of orders that occurred during the movie release and the specials that they have on.  I was never angry about the time it was taking, as I would rather they make their best quality product than one that is sub-standard.  My third saber (my Emperor's Hand one) I was surprised on because of how fast I got it, but after looking at your post, I now understand why as it is a bit smaller and doesn't need as much of their supplies to make.

    I just ordered a Renegade LE and I hold no illusions that I am going to get any later than August or even September, as it is a pretty weighty piece and despite the fact that I only went with Premium Obsidian V4 sound, I did go for a lot of the bells and whistle with it (Flash on Clash, Pointed blade tips, etc.).

    Anyway, getting back to what this post was originally about, thank you once again for going through all this effort to find out information.  If I could give you more than one point, I definitely would.

    I appreciate the research you put into this, and it does make me feel a little better, but having worked for years in customer service I just can’t understand a couple things.  1. Why do they still have 3-4 weeks lead time listed on their website?  It’s double that if not triple that.  2. Why do they not have someone dedicated to answering customer emails?  And if they do, why does that person still have a job?  If Emory has enough to buy a 2020 Ferrari, then they can hire a team to handle their communications, it’s ridiculous that some people have paid hundreds to thousands of dollars, are not receiving the products in the allotted time and have no way of getting in touch with the company.  

    I understand the delay in production, but this is a textbook example of how not to handle your customer service.

    Again just my two cents, I’ll now go back to patiently waiting on my Fallen that should arrive sometime before 2022. 🤪

    You had the same idea as me - upgrade that bad boy!  I stuck with the regular Obsidian v4 for my Frankensaber,  but got the charging port and Flash on Clash.  I did not specify the color so that'll be a mystery (Oooooohhh...)   ;D


    Well, this Frankensaber is co-owned with my buddy (it took a combined order to qualify for the free Frankensaber), so the Diamond board gave us (nearly) unlimited flexibility in colors and sounds, plus since we are splitting the costs for the upgrade, it was much easier to fit that cost into our respective budgets.

    Hi all.  US and saber purchase in general newbie here.  I placed my first order on May 24 for a Lost Grey and Fulcrum.  I am totally fine with the wait - the world is a mess right now and it's good to support these businesses.

    My only concern is the difficulty or inability to talk to US.  As a virgin customer I didn't fully understand the options when ordering.  I got the stunt configuration but desperately want to upgrade to include sound and some of the cosmetic options only available with audio blades.  I've sent several emails detailing the upgrades I'd like but silence in response.  I mean hey US I'm trying to give you more money here.

    I'm really hoping someone looks at the email and helps me with the upgrade before it is finished and ships.

    I've been lurking in this thread for weeks now and finally bit the bullet and joined up.  Looking forward to getting my first sabers.

    Cheers all.

    The only thing I can suggest, since you've got an honest concern, is to keep trying - maybe once a week or so - and remember to put your order number in the subject heading.  And keep being patient and polite; they're slammed with emails right now.  Many of us have gotten responses to our inquiries, and I'm sure you will too.  Once you get that settled, it's all about the waiting game.

    I appreciate the research you put into this, and it does make me feel a little better, but having worked for years in customer service I just can’t understand a couple things.  1. Why do they still have 3-4 weeks lead time listed on their website?  It’s double that if not triple that.  2. Why do they not have someone dedicated to answering customer emails?  And if they do, why does that person still have a job?  If Emory has enough to buy a 2020 Ferrari, then they can hire a team to handle their communications, it’s ridiculous that some people have paid hundreds to thousands of dollars, are not receiving the products in the allotted time and have no way of getting in touch with the company.  

    I understand the delay in production, but this is a textbook example of how not to handle your customer service.

    Again just my two cents, I’ll now go back to patiently waiting on my Fallen that should arrive sometime before 2022. 🤪

    Oh, I absolutely agree on the terrible response and notifications.

    As for Emory's car.. not sure that has anything to do with his LLC business.

    For all we know, he may have inherited money from a deceased relative, or perhaps it's a lease.. *shrug*

    Regardless, someone's personal life purchases should have no bearing on their business.. and in many cases they have to be kept separate, to limit their liability for insurance and/or legal reasons.

    *Shrug*

    As for customer service, from what I've heard they have several people working csr (if you go back in this thread, pretty much everyone has said their names a few times.. if there's more, no one has indicated during chatting).

    Not making excuses for the company (lol, if you read my previous posts, I've been very vocal about my thoughts on their current customer service) just thought I'd share what I was able to gather, in case others are driven crazy by unanswered questions, like I am :)

    So.. I've heard back from Customer Service today (giving me my tracking number, which I'd already gotten from the other contact, too :)

    I'll admit.. since this whole thing started.. I've been doing some.. err.. digging, into Ultrasabers... just to see if my initial suspicions on everything were true. (I hate speculating on things.. and never finding out the truth.. it bugs me to no end.. and my wife will tell you, when I have something that bugs me.. I start doing research.. LOTS of it)

    See, I feel like a number of the posts that have been made (both here, and on the reddit lightsaber group) felt a little... too forced. (no pun)

    So, after doing a LOT of research, and contacting people that I probably shouldn't (personal boundaries are things I struggle with, when it comes to research ;) ) I typed up a ton of info in this post... and then had my wife (my biggest critic) read it... and after her critique, I've decided, perhaps some of it isn't my story to tell... still got it all typed up.. just not sure if/how to post it all.

    So, to respect some privacy a bit more than I would have, originally (figure some of the quotes might be able to be traced back, due to the way they're worded) I thought I'd share some information and paraphrased quotes (in my own words):


    • The current order fulfillment issues are a combination of things including: supply chain issues, multiple mechanical breakdowns, and a few personal issues that happened within the last couple of months.
    • Their social distancing is being taken VERY seriously, due to at least one person that was impacted (severely) by Covid.
    • The couple of employees I chatted with, actually are EXTREMELY happy right now, since they have been allowed to learn a trade.
    • The lack of paid bathroom breaks are there for a specific reason (after hearing the reason, I understand why).
    • There's at least one ex-employee who has been trying to start up his own company, doing the same thing, and he's an ex-employee for a VERY good reason.
    • Almost every current employee I was able to chat with, indicated they're happy with their employment and the flexibility they have there. One employee said they were only 'content'. None of the current ones said they were unhappy, angry, or discontent.
    • The ordering system does NOT implement a single digit increase for every order, but they have seen a massive influx of orders, recently. (It's still in the thousands) Partly due to specials, May 4th, Rise of Skywalker home release, and of course.. there are a lot of people staying at home, so they have more time to spend on hobbies.
    • Specials are planned out, well in advance, and the advertising and such are already pre-paid for... so cancelling the specials and such, ahead of time, are actually not really possible.
    • The 'wage' thing, isn't as cut and dry as people make it out to be. Without going too much into it, let me explain it this way: Many food workers are paid minimum wage.. because that's their 'base' payment.. they then get paid tips and gratuities on top of that. So if you look at their how much they're paid per hour, it looks like the establishment that they work at, are cheap. Just as some retail salesmen that sell appliances and the like, aren't paid much as their base wage either.
    • Regarding the supply chain issues, Ultrasabers isn't the only company purchasing aluminum rods for manufacturing processes. Supply and demand kicks in, here.. smaller supply in the chain.. greater demand.. costs have gone up... yet, those costs haven't necessarily been passed onto the customers. Whether this remains true, or not, is yet to be seen.
    • Lack of parts in the chain, are actually one reason why so many of the extras needed for 'Mystery Boxes' aren't available. Normally Ultrasabers has a rather substantial amount of product coming in, to machine.. but since the supply has gotten smaller, there's less raw parts.
    • Current ownership aren't what people have recently made them out to be. Current employees were actually quite upset at some of the ugly comments that were made by the public. It was pointed out, that while the owner might be a bit flashy on social media from time to time, there's a lot they do for others, that no one ever sees... simply because when you do the right thing, you don't brag about it. (specifics were given, but being that I don't know how much of it is public knowledge, I don't feel right sharing it.. needless to say, if it IS true.. I feel like a jerk for ever pushing for my orders... just saying)


    So... that all said.. my original thoughts still stand... I believe there needs to be more communication from UltraSabers, but I understand a little bit more, as to why there isn't.

    An exact quote I was given, from Customer service, was this:

    "Unfortunately there isn’t a blanket statement that will help all of [OUR] customers so we’re doing everything we can to work with each individual order and to get all of our orders out as quickly as possible." (bracketed emphasis is mine)


    Hopefully, all of the information I've shared, here, is at least a little useful to folks. Now I get to sit here, and anxiously await my shipment to arrive on Sunday (according to Fedex). :)


    ~ Casp








    Congrats on the shipping info. Frustrating to no end to see someone else who ordered the same thing as me (or 3 of them) after me have theirs on the way while my one still processing. I guess it is just the way of things.

    Hope you get three absolutely killer sabers.

    Sir, have a point. Sure, you may have digged a bit too deep for some people, but what you said is quite enlightening. Thank you for sharing. And thank you for giving me back the hope that I did the right thing by ordering from them. That particular hope was kinda chopped down by some of the last posts on the forum.
    And I think your wife was right. You still conveyed a lot of interesting points and I believe you managed to protect your sources.

    Man, Caspien...all that's missing from that is a mic drop.

    A point to you for your efforts, good sir.

    So.. as predicted, the last location was "hope, Arkansas"...

    And that proved to be a hilarious name... Because the shipment overshot our location, which is a main FedEx hub.... And now it's quite a ways north of here...

    So.. "hope".. such irony ;)

    Casp, why should we take this at face value? You telling people you went "digging" isnt the same as providing proof you did.

    Most of your claims here are legit fine and pretty reasonable and easy to believe. But the explination you provided about wages is absolutely gross.

    "Not getting too much into it" isnt a great idea, especially when this is the thing that should worry us about US right now; how they treat their employees.

    For the sake on transparency, IF you actually did "digging" please "get into it"

    As it stands, the way you have represented US in that statement reads as follows; "We dont feel the need to pay our workers above the minimum wage because we do not value them. Fast food workers/salesman aren't valued and they make more than our employees do because of gratuity/comission."

    How would a US employee ever earn gratuity or sales comission?

    Forgive me for being blunt. But either you didn't do any real digging (proof please) OR you did and Ultrasabers has an incredibly problomatic stance towards its employees.

    The only thing I can suggest, since you've got an honest concern, is to keep trying - maybe once a week or so - and remember to put your order number in the subject heading.  And keep being patient and polite; they're slammed with emails right now.  Many of us have gotten responses to our inquiries, and I'm sure you will too.  Once you get that settled, it's all about the waiting game.

    Thanks.  Yes that is what I am doing - weekly email request with order number and upgrade request in the subject heading.  And of course polite and courteous.  CS is a hard enough job without people taking their frustration out on you for something you have no control over.

    Lost grey and Fulcrum?  NICE! 

    I've been eyeing them off for a while and finally decided to do it.  Went Tri Arctic blue to match season 7.

    Does the shopper approved email mean anything or is it a 3rd party email thing? My order still says its processing on the ultrasabers website. I don't want to get my hopes up if it doesn't mean it's actually shipping. There is no tracking number or anything.

    3rd party, from my understanding.   Ultrasabers themselves will send you the tracking info once it ships.

    After loading and stacking the split wood from an oak that came down in our yard last year, my son finally saved up enough to order his second Dark Initiate LE stunt with fire orange blade.  And he hasn’t even received his first one yet (5/15).  He’s 12, so I’m proud of his exercise in planning, delayed gratification, and patience.  He doesn’t know that I already have a silver quick disconnect coupler for him.  Should be sweet.  I’m thinking that the short hilts should allow him to work with his 32” blades.

    Appreciate it. They missed the deadline to at least respond by the end of the week so at this point I'm requesting a charge back when my bank opens on Monday. The idea of starting the sparring group is dead now, at least with ordering from US. Nobody is interested in bothering with them any more.

    Not about the money or item value any longer, just the principle. Don't think I'd be happy even if I got the biggest, baddest saber they offer just because of the piss poor experience and killing of plans.

    Still going to watch so post when you get yours.

    After loading and stacking the split wood from an oak that came down in our yard last year, my son finally saved up enough to order his second Dark Initiate LE stunt with fire orange blade.  And he hasn’t even received his first one yet (5/15).  He’s 12, so I’m proud of his exercise in planning, delayed gratification, and patience.  He doesn’t know that I already have a silver quick disconnect coupler for him.  Should be sweet.  I’m thinking that the short hilts should allow him to work with his 32” blades. 

    From one dad to another, I salute you both.   8)

    Casp, why should we take this at face value? You telling people you went "digging" isnt the same as providing proof you did.

    Most of your claims here are legit fine and pretty reasonable and easy to believe. But the explination you provided about wages is absolutely gross.

    *Shrug* I knew after I removed a lot of the data to protect some peeople's personal stuff that someone wouldn't believe it, and I'm perfectly fine with you not believing me.

    As for the wages, I used that as an example of how an entire employment package isn't measured entirely based on their hourly wage. Some employers pay low, but cover things like a company car, insane insurance coverage, 401k, bonuses, etc.. heck, if you look at the wage of some high end executives at large fortune 500 companies, they often get paid extremely low amounts (hourly) but then have insane bonuses and golden parachutes.

    As for 'proof'? How do I have any proof that the people I talked with were honest? They all could have lied about everything, sure, but, as with me.. why WOULD they?

    I could give names of the people I talked with, sure.. but they weren't answering "on the record", and I never told them I was going to post what they said. (Hence why I didn't)

    What information was given to me, was done so in a friendly manner, and it's really not my place to provide information that would/could put a strain on their lives. How, you may ask?

    Well, for starters, there might be an NDA they are required to sign, for employment.. it's pretty standard in any industry that has tech involved. Unfortunately, NDAs are often written in such a vague fashion, simply discussing how the break room is laid out can be grounds for termination..  and companies often have to enforce them, for them to ever stick, when needed.

    Do I know if they signed NDAs? Nope. So it's probably best for me to leave any personally identifiable information out of this.

    Also, as I said before.. I've been very critical of the seemingly lack of customer support that is ongoing, right now... So why on earth would I bother to make stuff up, to defend them?

    Also.. what would be enough information to "prove" the data? Names? Home phone numbers? (Again, I have personal boundary issues when looking for answers) Would I have to get a signed statement?

    So.. like I said in my original post. Believe me, don't believe me.. *shrug* I've got nothing to gain out of this.

    Okay, Here is an odd update from me.

    I got the bug hard and I ordered on May 11th (MB), then May 16 (MB), then an even bigger order on June 26th (2xMB+DIv2).

    My June 26th order now says it is complete and I have a tracking number. Today is July 4th, expected delivery date is July 8th.
    Awesome shipping speed.

    However, both my orders for May are still Processing. I am a little bit lost on what is going on with this, though I am happy I will be getting something soon.

    According to my account, I have orders from 2/24/2019, 4/15/2019, 5/3/2019, 8/16/2019, 8/28/2019, and 5/6/2020 all still pending.  Only one of those is actually pending and that is 5/6/2020 (Princess Pre-order).  All of the other orders were received a long time ago.  In fact, all of those "pending" orders were sent with another order.  It is very possible that those other two orders are finished and are being shipped with your 6/26/2020 order.  US occasionally does this when you have spaced out orders that happen to be completed at the same time.  They just don't indicate that on the account.

    So that was 6 weeks for your order if my math is right...not too bad, really.  And an extra $110 on top of that?  Pretty sweet.... 8)

     Aeon LEV5, tri-fire orange, orange illuminated silver AV switch, arbiter/archon classic pommel, covertech wheel, OS Lite sound, 40 inch heavy grade regular blade with pointed tip; also the free initiate promo saber. Hoping they put the either a gold or silver covertech wheel in a good spot because I forgot to put directions in the order comment and they never responded to the email about it. Planning on turning the claws upsidown on it for safety (some peoples have arrived with the bottoms sharp enough to badly cut) and also I think it will look even cooler.

    Quite possibly; I'm 6'3 with a large frame. One of my go to's when medieval combat sparring is a 44 inch foam sword, and in full regalia I've been told I look like a Dark Souls boss lol. If the saber proves a bit unwieldy, I can always switch out the blade for the one that comes with my free initiate, or as I have already been considering, buying a separate one in the 32 or 36 inch size. This is mainly going to be a show/costume piece though, and I wanted something especially impressive, like what an ancient Jedi lord might have used.

Not only that, but I'm trying to think of it this way: the longer I end up waiting, the less time it'll be between when they arrive and Christmas, when I give them to the boys.  THAT wait is gonna be torture, LOL.

    Disclaimer:  the following rant was a form of catharsis for me.  Please take it as you see fit.

    The "patiently waiting" theme here is just ridiculous.  No legitimate business should ever force its burdens on the customer.  Further, it should not be up to us to find out what is going on with our orders or find unique, secretive ways to reach the company.  I mean, how bad does a company have to be to turn a thread on their own forum into a support group?  I've never seen anything like this from any business.  It's just bad. 

    The way that Ultrasabers is currently operating is horrendous and inexcusable.  They should be held accountable and certainly not defended.  Sadly, rather than demand the company meet the obligations that they themselves have promised, we instead seem to find ways to justify their behavior and demand our fellow consumers be patient, don't make waves, and if crafting an email to US, make sure to always be polite.  That makes zero sense.  The onus is on Ultrasabers to provide information, assistance, and solutions.  It should never be on the customer to find new ways to solve a business's problems.  Simply stated they are now a fradulent business...at the very least they are certainly behaving like one.

    Just consider the following:
     
    - Continually posting new sales promos while failing to fill overdue orders (I realize they may be under a contractual obligation to advertise these promos but that doesn't make it right.  In fact, it looks shady).
    -  Listing false shipping times that many people cling to as planning factors only to discover the 3-4 week lead time is an outright lie.  Yet this could easily be fixed by updating their own website.  Not doing so is highly suspect.   
    -  Charging 20% of any canceled order as a "restocking fee" while never sending the item or perhaps, never having it in stock in the first place.
    -  Listing methods of contact (phone and email) that appear to be fake as they are either nonfunctioning, not monitored, or wholly ignored.
    -  Failing to respond to direct, repeated emails from customers, responding randomly, or responding with automated bot replies that serve no purpose.

    Any one of these practices could be considered unethical but all of them together?  Well, that would describe a scam.  But if that's too harsh of a term then at best, they are currently incompetent.  At worst, they are willfully negligent.  And this conclusion is not just mine.  It's readily available to see that they have had legitimate claims filed against them via the BBB, the FTC, and in at least one instance, through the Texas Attorney General's Office.  So even if we dismiss the reviews on Indeed dot com as coming from just disgrntled employees,
    the other complaints should be taken seriously...even on this forum, we have seen CC and PP disputes filed with absolutely no response from Ultrasabers.  And whereas just a cursory search of US and its owners reveals some pretty jarring reviews and complaints, you have to really dig to find something positive.  Now, in my humble opinion, no one should have to dig to find something good about a company, its employees, or its owners - the good stuff should be the storefront, not hidden behind the proverbial curtains.

    Ultimately, no one should give their hard earned money to a suspect business, with false advertising, that cannot (or worse, will not) communicate with their customers.  In light of all this, I find it very disheartening that so many on this forum still want to defend what in reality is indefensible.  Worse still, I imagine some of you will be mad at this post whereas your anger should be directed at the company.   And while I certainly respect your loyalty - given the current circumstances - I don't fully understand it.  It is obvious that whatever they were, they are no longer.

    In hindsight, I am disappointed that I rushed to order with Ultrasabers before doing any substantial research on them.  After all, $1,600 is a lot of money for an initial purchase.  But I wanted my kids to have all the cool things I never did and so I fell for their "May the 4th" promo, fancy website, and (apparently) inflated, positive reviews.  I should've done my homework.  Heck, I wish I would've just found this thread.  Had I done so, I would've gone somewhere else.  As it is, this will be my first, last, and only order with this company and I will do all I can to steer others away from them.

    Maybe one day this company will fix itself but until they do, I implore you to stop defending them.  And please do not recommend them to anyone...at least not currently.  Doing so only hurts a lot of innocent consumers.

    I sincerely wish all of you the best - both with your orders and in life in general.

    May the Force be with you.

    While I very much agree with this sentiment (as well as the bulk of your post), as someone very very new to the saber scene myself, what other options are there? Other than buying second-hand sabers from eBay, rolling the dice with etsy, what other website or storefront offers a comparable product for a comparable price and are also delivering quickly and efficiently? Because in my cursory research, "everyone else" is either considerably more expensive, or are going through the exact same shortages, out of stocks, and long shipping delays. And this is without even considering the licensed official sabers only available in person at Dok Ondar's shop in Glaaxy's Edge, which is closed. Even those have exploded in eBay pricings, even without a blade.

    So I get it. Their service and communication is atrocious, embarrassing, and insulting. But what other options are there? Without hoping for something on eBay without too much of a secondary markup, or spending a LOT more money, where could one order a custom or replica saber of comparable quality and price? (Consider this rhetorical, since I'm at least loosely familiar with several of "the other guys" as a result of my searching before buying here.)

    Okay...I'm compelled to reply, but I'm going to do my best to not get confrontational about it.

    I get where you're coming from.  Looking at things objectively, I really do get why you're frustrated.  And I totally agree; the communication issues are a big red flag that need to be addressed., whatever the reasons for them are.

    Keep in mind, I'm not speaking as someone who's plunked down $75 for a random saber.  I've spent about two grand on Christmas gifts for my kids to try and give them a happy day after what has been a horrifically bad year for us.  And even though I'll hem and haw over the wait time, it's mostly in jest; I'm patient by nature, and after this year, waiting for these things is not something I'm going to get up in arms about.   But that's just me.  I totally get other people getting frustrated and respect their need to vent about it, including yourself.  

    But then you call out others for defending them and being patient and for telling others to be patient.   You flat out tell others to stop defending the company and to not recommend the company to others.

    No. Sorry, but that's where you lose me.  You don't have the right to tell others how they should react any more than others have the right to tell you how you should react.  And part of the tone I'm getting from your post is that you're trying to do exactly that, and not just give your opinion on the company.

    When I tell others to be cool and wait it out, I'm not trying to shut them up.  I'm trying to reassure them that things will get better.  I have absolutely no right to tell them that they shouldn't vent and complain; i actually was guilty of that one time and I retracted it back and apologized as best I could.

    You're not happy with your experience?  That's fine and understandable.   You want to vent and complain about it?  Go right ahead, thats what this thread is for.  But you don't get to call out those who don't feel the same way you do.

    The company did not turn this thread into a support group.  If you bother to read this thread from the beginning, you’ll find out that it started as a celebration of the excitement of placing an order and the pained excitement at waiting.  Here is the very first post in this thread:

    Ok, from looking around on this forum - it seems like we are all about as patient as a kid in a candy store while waiting for our new sabers to come in the mail.  This is the place to vent and let everyone know what you got, why you got it, and in general talk about your new purchase until it arrives and you can start terrorizing your family/girlfriend/dog/friends with it.
    As you can see, it’s quite positive and fun in tone.

    The way that Ultrasabers is currently operating is horrendous and inexcusable.  They should be held accountable and certainly not defended.  Sadly, rather than demand the company meet the obligations that they themselves have promised, we instead seem to find ways to justify their behavior and demand our fellow consumers be patient, don't make waves, and if crafting an email to US, make sure to always be polite.  That makes zero sense.  The onus is on Ultrasabers to provide information, assistance, and solutions.  It should never be on the customer to find new ways to solve a business's problems.  Simply stated they are now a fradulent business...at the very least they are certainly behaving like one.

    ANY interaction with ANY company’s customer service representatives should be polite.  If you think otherwise, then you have the manners of an uncultured boor, and you should spend some time re-educating yourself in matters of etiquette, especially in those parts regarding a legitimate complaint to a business.

    Just consider the following:
     
    - Continually posting new sales promos while failing to fill overdue orders (I realize they may be under a contractual obligation to advertise these promos but that doesn't make it right.  In fact, it looks shady).

    Again... if they are contractually obligated to run the advertisements, then there is no other option. If you think it looks shady, then you are free to think so.  That doesn’t mean you’re right.
    -  Listing false shipping times that many people cling to as planning factors only to discover the 3-4 week lead time is an outright lie.  Yet this could easily be fixed by updating their own website.  Not doing so is highly suspect.  

    You aren’t reading this very thread.  Some orders are still being shipped in under two weeks, under three weeks, and under four weeks.  Also, any claim of shipping times is, at best, an estimate, especially for a small business like this one. Even Amazon, with all its built-in failsafes and efficiencies of scale, is no longer guaranteeing next-day or even two-day shipping.
    -  Charging 20% of any canceled order as a "restocking fee" while never sending the item or perhaps, never having it in stock in the first place.

    Restocking fees are normal, especially for custom-made items like these.  The fact that you are unaware of standard business practices is the result of your own lack of research.  It is unfair and incorrect to blame the company for this.
    -  Listing methods of contact (phone and email) that appear to be fake as they are either nonfunctioning, not monitored, or wholly ignored.

    Again, read this very thread.  Customers DO get responses, proving that these are not fake methods of contacting the company.  Do customers get responses to every email or phone call?  Sadly, no.  Does it sometimes take repeated attempts to reach the company and get a response?  Sadly, yes, and often it takes multiple repeated attempts in order to receive a response.
    -  Failing to respond to direct, repeated emails from customers, responding randomly, or responding with automated bot replies that serve no purpose.

    I completely agree, this is both frustrating and disappointing.

    Any one of these practices could be considered unethical but all of them together?  Well, that would describe a scam.  But if that's too harsh of a term then at best, they are currently incompetent.  At worst, they are willfully negligent.  And this conclusion is not just mine.  It's readily available to see that they have had legitimate claims filed against them via the BBB, the FTC, and in at least one instance, through the Texas Attorney General's Office.  So even if we dismiss the reviews on Indeed dot com as coming from just disgrntled employees,

    While I think no one here would champion the current level of customer service from UltraSabers as being as good as we would like (or as good as what we old-timers remember and are accustomed to receiving), I believe your understandable frustration and disappointment is coloring your opinion.  However, it’s your opinion, and you are entitled to it, however wrong and misinformed I might think it to be.  After all, you are free to think I’m nothing more than a shill for the company, or a sadly duped fanboy, or any of a myriad other uncomplimentary descriptions that might explain my affection for and defense of UltraSabers at this juncture.

    Ultimately, no one should give their hard earned money to a suspect business, with false advertising, that cannot (or worse, will not) communicate with their customers.  In light of all this, I find it very disheartening that so many on this forum still want to defend what in reality is indefensible.  Worse still, I imagine some of you will be mad at this post whereas your anger should be directed at the company.   And while I certainly respect your loyalty - given the current circumstances - I don't fully understand it.  It is obvious that whatever they were, they are no longer.

    Again, you are free to have your own opinion, and you are free to state it here.  But please do not labor under the false assumption that nobody will dare to disagree with you, or to defend or attempt to explain what we all agree is less than what we would like.

    In hindsight, I am disappointed that I rushed to order with Ultrasabers before doing any substantial research on them.  After all, $1,600 is a lot of money for an initial purchase.  But I wanted my kids to have all the cool things I never did and so I fell for their "May the 4th" promo, fancy website, and (apparently) inflated, positive reviews.  I should've done my homework.  Heck, I wish I would've just found this thread.  Had I done so, I would've gone somewhere else.  As it is, this will be my first, last, and only order with this company and I will do all I can to steer others away from them.

    Again, you are free to do with your money what you will.  If you think going elsewhere would have gotten you faster service for a saber of this quality, then perhaps you really should have done more research before spending your money.  It’s possible, but not likely.

    Maybe one day this company will fix itself but until they do, I implore you to stop defending them.  And please do not recommend them to anyone...at least not currently.  Doing so only hurts a lot of innocent consumers.

    And I implore you to quit bashing them unjustly.  Spewing your negativity here only takes away from the enjoyment of the hobby that the rest of us come here to enjoy.  Is it legitimate to complain about the fact that orders are taking longer than 3-4 weeks?  Yes, it is.  Is it legitimate to complain that it is far more difficult than it should be to reach customer service?  Yes, it is.  However, it is not legitimate to accuse them of being scammers, fraudsters, and otherwise having nefarious intent in the current situation.  You lack substance to back those claims.

    I sincerely wish all of you the best - both with your orders and in life in general.

    May the Force be with you.


    And I sincerely wish you the best in life, and if you choose not to return to UltraSabers with your future saber-collecting, then so be it, but I wish you continued enjoyment of this hobby; it would be a true shame if you lost your interest in light sabers over this.

    I would also like to add to Cyclops42's post that if you go look at "the other guys", you will see that a lot of them are pretty much not selling much of nothing at this point just due to the fact that they can't get the items that are needed in the creations.  Most of the sites I looked at had about 98% of their stock marked "Out of Stock".  Of course, if you wish to order from one of "the other guys", you will probably be looking at an extremely longer wait time than what is going on here.  From what I have heard, there are people that ordered stuff in December from "the other guys" and are still waiting on their orders or have cancelled their orders and gone elsewhere.

    We are all frustrated by the long wait times, in some cases.  And while I will agree that the lack of communication is compounding this frustration, people are getting responses.  Yes, it is taking some time to do so, but when you are probably getting thousands of e-mails or even more a day, sometimes yours might get lost in the scuffle.

    But I will say that while you have the right to vent your frustration and anger over what is going on, don't lump everyone together and say we are "defending" them.  There are a myriad of factors going on right now that is not making the people that work for Ultrasabers able to do their jobs like they would normally do.  We are all hoping that they will be able to get back to a "normal" working environment and shipping schedule.  But until these myriad of factors are put under control, you will continue to see the long wait times continue.

    Something else I just noticed...the previous Deal of the Day for the Princess hilt has ended, but they don't have another one up.  Not as of right now, anyway.

    That counts for something, i think.  Instead of rolling right into another deal offer, maybe they're backing off a bit, when they can.  It'll be interesting to see if they run another sale after the current summer promo ends.

    i hate spamming emails and that's why I've only sent five out in total between when i first ordered and now. still no response. And at this point my doods... I'm really considering canceling my order (calling my bank way smh) cause I'm very annoyed and frustrated. I'm always ok with waiting but no info, no response, ppl getting their orders before me.. pfft! yea im tired.....  i literally just want information in the end.

    if they could send me ONE email saying "hey! were working on it!" i wouldn't be complaining anymore! heck! ill wait another month quietly & patiently if they informed me of SOMETHING.

    i really just don't know what to do. if i cancel now, ill just order another lightsaber (from somewhere else) and ill STILL be waiting.

    its a lose lose either way lol. this is a big bummer... ;/

    One thing to add to the conversation, and I'm sure some people don't want to hear it.. is the fact there ARE other places to order from, that have decent sabers in stock.

    During the waiting game, I actually ordered a few from those places. I'd decided I was going to participate in the Spring Giveaway.. but then when I was unable to get any response in the entire time it was running.. I took that money elsewhere.

    Part of it went to purchasing a few second hand Ultrasabers from a local seller, and the remainder went to a few 'other guys', just to test their product out.

    I can happily say, that while my Ultrasaber's order finally came in, I'm also happy that I found some of 'the other guys', too. Both products have their ups and downs, and I'll continue to do business with all of the vendors I've purchased from.


    No, obviously I won't mention them in public.. due to the Terms of Service on this board, (I have personal beliefs about THAT, too, to be honest.. after all, why stifle discussion about a competitor if your product is superior, you have nothing to worry about) but I will say.. if you ask around, I'm sure some people on other places that discuss such things, may have answers for you.

    This is my first time ordering a saber from here and I'm wondering what kind of updates do they do on the site? I ordered about a week ago and it's said processing the whole time. I know it's a 3-4 week waiting period so I'm not worried about that I'm just wondering if they show when they're actually building it or if it'll just say processing clear until it ships? I keep checking every day because I can't wait for it haha. Thanks!

    First time?  Welcome to your new obsession...and i say that having not even gotten my first order yet, LOL.

    The site gives an ESTIMATED processing time of 3-4 weeks, but everyone has been all over the map with their orders; the average wait time seems to be about 7-8 weeks.  This is due not only to Covid-19 affecting the work force, but also the company is facing material shortages with the hilts and other parts, and there are other various issues they've been dealing with.  That being said, some people here have gotten their orders sooner than that, some are still waiting longer than that.  The orders are not processed sequentially, rather, they seem to be processed as soon as they can, and not partially; seems they won't ship an order out until it's 100% ready to go.   The key thing to remember is, YOU WILL GET YOUR ORDER; other long time customers here can attest to that.

    You won't see any update on the site, so don't worry about checking, but when your order does ship, you'll get what I call the Golden Ticket email with your tracking number.  Then, you get happy feet and share the good news with us.  And we will expect photos and a review when you do get the goods.

    Best thing to do is not dwell on the wait.  Instead, browse this forum, find a topic you like, and jump on in.

    And by the way....do tell, what did you order?   ;D

    It’ll say “processing” from now until it says “shipped” — unless it doesn’t get updated on the website right away, and you get an actual shipping notice before then.  (Don’t get too excited if you get an email from Shopper Approved that asks how you like your order... it’s a third-party email that knows NOTHING about the actual status of your order, and is sent out based on UltraSabers’ historical shipping times of under 2 weeks after placing an order.  This “Shopper Approved” email does NOT mean that your order has been shipped, or that it got lost in the mail, or anything other than an automated process is being followed.)

    To save you some searching, be advised that the 3-4 week lead time is an estimate, not a guarantee, and while you might receive your order within 2, 3, or 4 weeks of ordering, there might also be unplanned delays thanks to the worldwide impact of COVID-19 on manufacturing and shipping of components made in China (like LEDs and other electronics), the impact on the manufacturing processes of both UltraSabers and its many stateside suppliers when complying with the enhanced cleaning procedures and social-distancing measures, or who knows what other impacts it’s having that I’m not thinking of at the moment.  Also be advised that orders are NOT worked in the order in which they were received.  There are all kinds of dependencies on parts, technicians, work stations, tools, and other things that determine when an order can be worked or completed, and if they stuck to a FIFO (first-in, first-out) processing queue, wait times would be even longer than they are now.  If you want details on that, get a book from the library on manufacturing efficiency, or take a college course on it.  There is no way I can explain it to you fully here.

    Didn't I just say all that?

     :D :D :D :D :D

    Seriously though, Cyclops brings up a good point about that "Shopper Approved" email; just ignore it.  When your order does ship, UltraSabers will email you directly.   

    That Shopper Approved email plays like a cruel hoax if you ask me.... 8)

    I ordered a phantom v4 staff in green with orange foc and blue with red foc and obsidian v4. Also got a quick release coupler so I can hopefully use escrima techniques with it. I was gonna get v5s because they look better but it's $80 more to get 2 and make it into a staff with the same options so I decided I'll get the v4s and make some shrouds and maybe wraps for em with the guides in the customization section.

    Far less excited than I suppose I should be at this point, given that the potential sparring group has determined not to order from US now, but I'm happy it is all almost done now. If nothing else, my son will probably dig it.

    Going into week #10 with no actual word from US and I'm already losing my interest in picking up this hobby. It's disappointing, especially when US came so highly recommended from a friend who has purchased no fewer than 8 sabers from them. Chances are, at this point I don't know that I'd but from them again.

    Again, I understand and agree with the frustration from lack of communication. This is something they should adress quickly.
    BUT regarding the processing time?? My other guys saber (a curved hilt from a character played by Sir Christopher Lee) was annouced with a 10-12 weeks lead time. It took me 8 to 9 MONTHS (not weeks) to get it!
    So stating you won't do business with US again, I can understand, but trust me (or don't, but you'll find out...) you won't be more happy with those particular other guys! Quality is good, but the lead time without a pandemic is higher than what US seems to be doing right now.

    Updates on the website have been kind of haphazard lately, we don't know why.  The main thing is that you have your receipt and order number; that is proof that they did get your order, and they'll process it when they can.  Once it ships, they'll email you the tracking information.   You won't need to check it on the website.

    Thanks man

    Same happened with my Crimson Scorpion. I also got a Grab bag shipped in 1 day.
    To me it looks like US is caught up to a point that if your order is truly in stock and all the parts are available, they work it immediately.
    But if something is out and has to be fabricated, you get put in a line of orders waiting on the same thing.

    I ordered 2 MB on May 5th and was starting to lose hope. Sure, I was luckier than some others in actually getting a response but that was a month ago. Tomorrow is the beginning of week 10, and when I woke up just a moment ago to see an email with the word "Ultrasaber" in the title, I was sure it would be another promo.

    But nope, they're finally shipping!! I can't get any tracking info yet, because it still just says "label created," but if people across the US are getting their orders in days then living in Central Texas I shouldnt have long to wait at all.

    This will be a great pick-me-up after the emergency root canal I had to get yesterday, I just hope my wife and I dont fight too much over who gets what. There is a small voice in my head wondering if the long wait time means one of them will be something real good, but I'm trying to expect nothing more than a few cheap stunt sabers.

    Cant wait to post photos of what we get and start customizing them!
    Stay patient if you can, guys. If not, good luck with the disputes I guess.

    Something else that might have been a factor for him is, well, the cost; the Renegade is part of the second highest price line.  People might have been staying away from that tier and going for one of the lower tiers (and there are a lot of sell outs there) so it might have been available right on the spot.

    That's just speculation on my part.  Bottom line is, it's cool news.

    oh certainly. I think that's why my Scorpion was ready so fast. While it's only "mid-tier" in terms of price, it's also has very specialized aesthetics that might not appeal to everyone (even my wife says it looks like a giant can opener)
    So that might have deterred buyers so that they had plenty in stock ready to go.

    I could also see there being pressure to get orders that can be done quickly. I know if I was working on several orders that had to wait on parts, I'd be elated to pull an order I could fabricate in less than a week.

    That's so strange to me. I love the little "stinger" on it, it reminds me of Dooku's sabers. If anything, I dislike the "ball" pommels that come on many of the lightsabers.

    Congrats!  Thanks for letting us know.

    Thank you! I should also mention, the email came today (Monday) and the crappy "shopper approved" one came Friday, so if you guys get that one dont give up hope just yet.

    For anyone waiting over 10 weeks especially, I wish you all the luck in the galaxy.

    The main thing that kept me from doing a chargeback (besides an email a few weeks ago basically confirming that the MB are being fabricated along with everything else) is the thought that even if I got a refund now and re-ordered when things calmed down (because i still want a damn lightsaber), I would still probably have gotten this order long before they ever got fully caught up.

    Oh, I agree, I love the aesthetics of the Crimson Scorpion (it's in my profile picture) but objectively it's in a weird spot.
    -It's not one of the cheaper hilts like the V3/4/5s, so I'd imagine many first time buyers would skip it (I know I ignored it for some time at first)
    -It isn't directly inspired by a particular movie hilt
    -It has very clear dark side aesthetics, thereby dissuading light side buyers

    So those factors could very well be why the Crimson Scorpion was well in stock for my order.

    And to counter why MB orders aren't being shipped as quickly when they can just put together any hilt: keep in mind that A LOT of people order MBs. So if they are out of premade stock, which I think we can assume they are, then there is probably a very long line of MB orders being fabricated first-come-first-served.
    That's also a good sign of US's integrity that I got my GB so quick while MB orders are behind.
    GBs will have imperfections, but MBs are not supposed to.

    They very easily could have sent the GB I received as someone's MB order, but because it was built with 2 AA battery setup instead of 4 AAAs, that's an imperfection, so the saber I got should not have been a MB

    Hello! I'm new here and I figured this seems like a good place to get some insight from.

    I ordered two sabers on May 4th.  Only one email reply which was ultimately unhelpful and no shipping updates.  I've been looking through and I've seen that a lot of others have had the same if not a similar issue.  How long did it take for your orders to arrive?  Has anyone gotten a refund and still received their order?  I'm unsure of where to go from here and I totally understand the issues with COVID but some email communication on their end with orders would be greatly helpful.

    Thanks!

    This is a group of UltraSabers customers and fans, not a way to reach UltraSabers customer service.  Nobody here works for UltraSabers.  We can give advice, but we can’t provide specific information about your order because we don’t have access to any of that information.

    ORDINARILY, you would probably have your sober in your hand already, because their turnaround time was typically 1-2 weeks.  Lots of us old-timers have that as our default experience with UltraSabers.  HOWEVER... in early December of last year, thanks to all the fan excitement surrounding the last Star Wars movie, a new Star Wars TV show that apparently should have been titled “Baby Yoda” instead, the release of a new Star Wars video game, the Christmas gift-giving season, and a winter sales promotion, they began to have so many orders that they fell behind.  In January, there started to be issues with parts and components, because of the COVID-19 issues in China, where some of the electronic parts are manufactured, and they fell a little more behind.  In February, the fallout from COVID-19 started to have effects here in the United States, and some of their more-local parts suppliers fell behind, not just the ones in China.  As time progressed, and as social-distancing measures needed to be put into effect in the workplace (causing more than the usual scheduling issues of getting the right technician, the right saber, the right parts, and the right tools all at the right workstation at the right time, multiplied across the multiple suppliers used), the backlog continued.  On May 25, they lost all their emails prior to that date, and that has caused its own issues.  They have staff working 24x7 trying to catch up from the backlog, and some progress is being made, but they are nowhere near back to normal yet.

    Their overall delivery times have slipped quite a bit; although some folks still get their sabers in a week or two, some sabers take three or four weeks, and some take eight weeks or longer.  Note that the orders are NOT worked in a First-In-First-Out queue order; there are too many dependencies on various parts, technician skill sets, machine/workstation availability, and Lord-only-knows what else for that to be even close to efficient.  There have been entire books— heck, entire college courses,— written on efficient manufacturing-process scheduling, so there’s no way I can give a full explanation here; just know that it’s very complicated.

    The response times on the customer service emails have slipped quite a bit, too.  All I can say is to keep sending POLITE emails to [email protected] with your order number in the subject line, but I wouldn’t send an email every day; that will just clog up the Inbox and make it harder to find the emails that need an answer other than “Yes, we have your order, and it’s in the processing queue, but I can’t tell you when it will ship, because we are waiting on <fill_in_the_blank>.”  There’s nothing wrong with wanting an update, because you have sent them your money; just understand that right now, getting an update, or your saber, is going to take longer than normal, and longer than any of us would like.

    Just to update on my order: they're here! After a bit of a delay with Fedex(1000000% NOT Ultrasabers' fault, to be clear). All four - two Aeon V3's, and two Dark Initiate v2's - were upgraded with silver AV switches, so I'm guessing they're either out of the guarded switches, or they're doing that as a way of apologizing for the long delay. Total time from date of order to physically being in my hand: Eleven weeks and one day.

    Overall, my only real complaint with this order - and these blades make numbers six through nine from Ultrasabers for me - is I would have loved to have better communication. Laura was nice enough via email, but there were a few points where I would have a week or so between emails from her. I also don't like the fact that I had to chase after my order to even find out that my hilts were on backorder. At the end of the day, would I do business with Ultrasabers again? Maybe in a few months or so after all this pandemic stuff is dealt with and things return to normal. I'd like to get an Aeon v4 and V5 for comparison purposes, at least.

    -

    That's basically what I gathered from the reply i got. The way it was worded implied that the MB are being fabricated along with the custom hilts right now, so I'd assume they're all out of blackstock and will take the same time as a normal order.

    Also no matter how impatient or annoyed I may have gotten during the long wait, I will always give them props for not just sending out GB sabers and calling them MBs. That would have been a VERY easy but crummy shortcut.

    Got my saber in the mail today. Honestly really quick shipping, especially contrasted with the wait. I’m at work now and will post more later, but just wanted to update that it did finally arrive.

    Also, as seen in some unboxings, it came already assembled. At first I thought they only sent me blades and almost panicked lol

    Anyhow, I’ll post a review after work. I’ll be doing a video as well.

    I've only started ordering from US since December but the experience has varied (all good, imo, but seemingly random)

    My December order took 5 weeks for 2 stunt staffs
    My January order took 2 months for a Lite sound Sentinel v5
    1st March order came in 3 weeks for a V4 sound Fallen
    2nd March order was a MB took 10 days
    1st April order took 5 weeks for a stunt staff
    2nd April order took 3 weeks for a different stunt staff that came before the 1st.
    My May order is still processing for an RGB Aeon v2, at 7 weeks today.
    1st June order came in 1 week for a V4 sound Crimson Scorpion
    2nd June order came in 4 days for a Grab bag.

    So what can we learn from that? Absolutely nothing except that you cannot predict when your saber will arrive.
    There are too many factors involved, so unless you work for US, there's no sense in trying to predict when your order will arrive.
    Could be 1 week. Could take 2+ months.
    Complexity also doesn't seem to matter either since most of my stunt sabers took longer than my V4 sound sabers

    The best practice is to place your order and expect ar least 2 months.
    If it comes before then: Great!
    If not, start sending emails

    This is very good info, Galef.  You posted data, as well as the conclusion you drew from that.  I, for one, think your conclusion is a reasonable one, given that data.

    Post by: Caspien on July 06, 2020, 09:22:25 PM
    Again, I understand and agree with the frustration from lack of communication. This is something they should adress quickly.
    BUT regarding the processing time?? My other guys saber (a curved hilt from a character played by Sir Christopher Lee) was annouced with a 10-12 weeks lead time. It took me 8 to 9 MONTHS (not weeks) to get it!
    So stating you won't do business with US again, I can understand, but trust me (or don't, but you'll find out...) you won't be more happy with those particular other guys! Quality is good, but the lead time without a pandemic is higher than what US seems to be doing right now.

    Oh, absolutely. There's a ton of saber manufactures.. and MOST of them are having delays. The biggest issue, is that many of them are at least providing a presence in various fashions on the net, keeping their customers up to date, as to what's going on.

    One thing I think US could do, still (and they have, in some aspects) is let customers know if there is an extra long delay on their order.. and give them an opportunity to change it to something a little easier to fulfill.

    I've said for a long time.. customers are generally not as much *insert vulgar term, here* as people would believe, so long as they're given reasons as to why there are problems...

    Examples:

    Internet is out... WHY?!?!! 'Someone hit a pole a few blocks over, we've got a team enroute to fix it.. should be done in about 4 hours' (and then fix it in 2)

    ARRGH!!! I Want my pepsi!! Why can't I get my pepsi? "The manufacturer sent us the wrong tank that hooks up to that machine.. it's not going to be replaced until tomorrow. We can offer you a different drink if you want!" (and then put in a free order of fries or a cookie, or whatever in the order, too)

    "WHERE'S MY SABER?!?!" 'Well, we're having problems with that hilt, because the template we use to anodize that hilt broke. We have another on order, but the supplier hasn't been responding to us.. we're trying to find another one, but that's been a problem, too. In the meantime, we're going to mark that hilt as out of stock, and you can either wait until it's back in, knowing that it may be a long wait.. OR, you can swap to the XYZ hilt, for no additional charge.. and we'll get it done in the next week." (And then throw in a free blade plug, and ship it out within 3 days)


    Stuff like that.. THAT'S going the extra mile.. Customers know that **** (Stuff) happens, and they know how much it sucks when it happens to them.. so just be upfront and detailed with them, and (and this is important) then you offer up an alternate solution, that LOOKS like a better solution for the customer... it doesn't matter that your team was already 90% done with the fix... that the fries were going to be thrown away, anyway.. or that the blade plug is like 25cents... Customers want to think they are getting a great deal, sure.. but they want to feel valued more than that..

    You show a customer they're valued, by being transparent with them.. providing as much detailed information as you can... telling them how you're addressing the issue.. offer up another solution.. and then exceeding the solution you provided. THAT is how you win life long customers.. and ones that will stand in a firing line, in front of your brand.. just to protect it ;)

    Oh, why do I torture myself so?   
    It is indeed addictive. I've said my collection was complete about 3 times in the past 6 months, yet I keep ordering sabers.

    At least I've reached a point in which new purchases are meant to replace old ones, like replacing my V2s with V4s because I wanted the QR coupler, a different color and windows.

    But once my Rgb Aeon v2 arrives, the only other sabers I plan to order will be ones my son saves up for.

The spectre and initiate I ordered on 5/4 is still processing and no response (yet) to the email.   I'm sure it's a parts issue that's holding up the other order but I wish I'd get an update on it.

    Casper, I agree with everything you’ve written here and I just don’t understand why US isn’t doing all of this, shell they’re not really doing any of this.  And it’s frustrating because the stuff they aren’t doing is really not hard, and shouldn’t cost them much if anything.

    They are really dropping the ball on this, and as a first time customer, I hope the quality of the saber makes up for the complete lack of customer service of any kind.

    I ordered 2 MB on May 5th and was starting to lose hope. Sure, I was luckier than some others in actually getting a response but that was a month ago. Tomorrow is the beginning of week 10, and when I woke up just a moment ago to see an email with the word "Ultrasaber" in the title, I was sure it would be another promo.

    But nope, they're finally shipping!! I can't get any tracking info yet, because it still just says "label created," but if people across the US are getting their orders in days then living in Central Texas I shouldnt have long to wait at all.

    This will be a great pick-me-up after the emergency root canal I had to get yesterday, I just hope my wife and I dont fight too much over who gets what. There is a small voice in my head wondering if the long wait time means one of them will be something real good, but I'm trying to expect nothing more than a few cheap stunt sabers.

    Cant wait to post photos of what we get and start customizing them!
    Stay patient if you can, guys. If not, good luck with the disputes I guess.

    We also got our order complete and shipping notification (as well as the fed ex e-mail as well) for our 2 MB order on 5/17! I logged in to my e-mail over lunch and I was shocked to see the e-mail! We had hit 7 weeks yesterday - still no e-mail or FB replies. I too am secretly hoping for something really good or unique ... but frankly as these are our very first 2 sabers, anything will do!

    As for those saber addicts out there, I can sympathize even as a first time buyer who hasn't gotten theirs in yet! I'm a history and theater major. I'm "pretty into" historical equipment and martial arts, and thus have built up a decent sized collection of quality swords both real and for larp/sparring. None worth more than 350 dollars by themselves, but it adds up. I thought that a heavy duty light saber would be a cool change of pace. I kind of splurged to the point the price rivals my more expensive swords, but I reasoned that "hey I'm getting a second one free so just look at it as buying two at once" lol.

    We also got our order complete and shipping notification (as well as the fed ex e-mail as well) for our 2 MB order on 5/17! I logged in to my e-mail over lunch and I was shocked to see the e-mail! We had hit 7 weeks yesterday - still no e-mail or FB replies. I too am secretly hoping for something really good or unique ... but frankly as these are our very first 2 sabers, anything will do!

    That's great news! These are our first two as well. We're expecting something fairly basic so they can be easily customized to our own tastes, sort of an Empire era "work with what you get" kind of feel. Honestly there are only a very few sabers I would be unhappy with, so the numbers are on my side.

    Still waiting on my empty Lost Gray and Consular from 4/10.  ::)

    On the bright side, I did get my Guardian and the Fallen.  I ordered them empty and loaded them with NBv4 boards.  I set up the Guardian as Arctic Blue-ish (pic 2, looks deeper blue than in person) and the Fallen is RGB (pics 3&4).

    Tomorrow is 8 weeks for the Dominicide and Friday is 10 weeks for the Phantom Initiate V4. I have sent two emails and nothing.

    From what I have gathered from small details from comments on this thread, I am assuming the Dominicide is Out of Stock and I have to be waiting on parts for my Phantim Initiate V4.

    I hate that I have to assume here. US has let me down and I was a faithful long time customer.

    Well... I have sent my order at 22nd of May for Dark Initiate v4, and so far nothing.

    I have contacted Customer support Thursday last week (30th of June), and no response whatsoever. I have sent them another message yesterday, that if they will not answer until Friday, I will have no choice but to open a CC dispute.

    I don't mind waiting, but I like to be informed. When I ordered it, they told me that expected waiting time is 4 weeks. This is my first US purchase, and since I will be shipping it into Central Europe, I am very cautious...

    Same for us. I picked up the HG blades as I suspect my son will be trying to beat the snot out of me. So when it comes to hilts, I'd prefer not a super ornate/expensive one that can take a few blows and drops as he/we learn to handle these things. At the same time, I'm not looking for anything too basic either. But see I'm in another pickle as well. As this was an order for my son's birthday - long since passed - I made a deal with the wife that he could open the box and pick the one he wants. I have no idea what his taste is going to be like. But I hope they are kind of opposites to make the duels that more fun. Ours have departed Houston, TX and are scheduled to arrive in Massachusetts on Thursday.

    Hey, I hope you get a response and it works out for you.  I know there are a couple companies based in the UK that make decent sabers.  But be aware most of the "other guys" generally have wait times in excess of 8 weeks NORMALLY and are longer now.  So if you are looking to get something faster you are probably not going to get it, unless you buy some of that aliexpress sketchy stuff.

    I totally get your feelings on them communicating... I'm waiting on an order from May 25th and it was a major pain to get in touch with CS.  Just know that they are working on the orders and you will get it (unless you dispute it obviously lol).  Look at all the posts in this thread of people actually getting their sabers.... It feels like things are starting to get out quickly again.

    Cheers,

    Seeing that black and chrome Fallen gives me the tingles in my naughty spot. It’s my Elenor also and seeing it delivered makes me happy. Let’s see some video of that beautiful beast.

    Uh, I’m gonna call bullshell on this. I ordered a saber from a superior company that offers a better product for a fraction of the price, while waiting (week 7 now) for my US order to ship. That company ships same day or next. I ordered my first from them on Wednesday, due to the holiday it arrived Monday. My second order made yesterday and it shipped 10m later and will be here Thursday.

    FoC, RGB color change on the fly lighting, 6 built in sound fonts, Recharge port, lighted AV switch, 3 different blade light settings (stable, pulse, unstable), 3 volume settings (off, low, loud), all of which can be changed on the go without a computer....... $149

    Oh and their customer service? Responds same day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  I would file a PayPal dispute with this joke of a company here, but my order was a group order and they figured after 8 weeks, might as well just wait it out. In the mean time we have way cooler sabers to mess around with.

    Hey man, I appreciate that you like the stuff from that company.  But you know they are just a reseller of the stuff from China right? When I was talking about 8+ weeks I was talking about companies that actually make their own products.

    I'm not defending US here, lord knows I have been waiting a long time with another 4 weeks to go (Yeah for the fallen!) but buying from any of the major saber companies that are not resellers is crazy long right now.

    It's not the length of time, it's the communication...... Well that and US electronics are outdated. I think they need to start using CFX or Proffie boards instead of their in house boards.

    I also recently ordered one of these other guys sabers. $160. FOC/ lock up/ pulse stable and unstable. RGB 6 sound fontsI can’t compare it to US as I’m still waiting on that order, but I’m very pleased with what I got.  The sound could be a little better, but it spins well, has windows in the emitter, and I will probably do some modding on the hilt.

    I could care less if they’re repurposing Chinese products, they beat the estimated 2 week processing, and the owner responded within minutes of me reaching out with questions. The way customer service should be.

    The best part is I have a saber to play with and help me bide my time while waiting for my dream US order.

    The only thing that scares me about some of those "fancy, multi-option but still somehow cheap" sabers is their durability and longevity.
    Before I choose US, I was eyeing one of those other guy sabers and, while cheap, I read some of the reviews about how the sabers would just stop charging after a while and the saber would be dead forever.
    Another review said in order to stop that from happening, you have to make sure to charge it every other week, even if you don't plan to use it.

    That didn't seem worth it to me.  US may not have the most up-to-date, bleeding edge tech in their sabers, but at least it's reliable by most accounts. And it appears simple enough to be easy to fix should something happen.
    Kinda of a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality, which I kinda like. The more bells and whistles you add, the more things can go wrong

    Ironically, one of the early review vids I watched was from our very own Lord Sidious at Sidious Sabers.
    My first reaction was that he was being a 'snob' saying that the "other guy" saber was just a toy.
    I mean, these are all toys. But after getting my own ultrasabers, I now realize he was right; true custom sabers don't feel like toys.
    But those cheaper sabers do.

    So far it doesn’t feel like a toy and I’ve had no issues with it. The communication I had with the owner assuaged any fears I had, not only will he replace it for free for a year, if I decide I don’t want this saber, he will allow me to swap it out for another he carries.

    By no means do I think the quality will compare to the Fallen I have coming, but the quick delivery and exceptional customer service made me happy with the purchase.

    My MB arrived today. Ordered 5/9. Shipping notice on 7/5 at 2:31 AM

    Aeon V3 in Guardian Blue.

    Not bad. Good construction. No sound. Has the standard 4 AAA set up instead of 2 AA that some people said they got. Weight balance tilts a little towards the blade end, but that may be resolved with a different pommel I suppose. Not uncomfortably so. I like that it lends itself to one or two handed wielding.

    Worth it from a product standpoint if you can overlook or excuse the complete lack of updates or customer service.

    Good luck to those still waiting!

    That's one of the ones that's been out of stock on the website, I can see why it took a while.

    I know, I agree.... a little communication of the fact would have been nice.  But, you got it.  Hope you enjoy it, friend.   8)

    I wish I had found this thread months ago. Placed the order on 5/30. Apprentice v5 and a Dominicide. Graduation gifts for the kids. What really sucks is my son wanted a Dominicide color they showed as out of stock, so he settled on a different setup that wasn't his first choice, but showed in stock so he wouldn't have the extra wait time.

    Then I waited patiently until four weeks were up, sent an email, and heard nothing. Then I found this forum, read about this, and sent another email, asking if there were things I could do to expedite (change hilts, etc.) the order. Still no reply.

    Emailed again one last time, asking for any update at all, or even a notice on expected turn-around. No reply.

    3 polite emails, waited well over the time they advertised, and not a single reply or update.

    For those of you who filed a dispute, how difficult was it? I'm not as passionate about this as some I guess - you don't advertise 3-4 weeks max on in stock items, take $600, and then go dark on a customer. I don't care how good the product is. I'll ride out this week, but come Monday, if they still aren't even going to bother with a reply, I'll push to get my money back.

    I'm assuming you're talking about the black Fallen; someone posted elsewhere here about a week ago that US notified them, they have a shortage of those, and the estimated time that they'll have more from their supplier is 4-5 weeks. 

    If you're open to getting a different color, I'd say keep emailing them; after all, your issue is a little more specific than "where's my saber??".  Make sure you include your order number in your subject, and keep it at least civil; they're surely slammed with emails these days.  Some of us have gotten replies, some haven't, some have but it's taken a while.  Try to be patient while you're being persistent.  Hope you get some good news.

    I think one of the reasons I'm not too worried is that I've been a medieval reenactor for decades and let me tell you if you think this is a waiting game try ordering a suit if armor from a man in the Ukraine who doesn't speak English and has to have his wife convert the measurements for him, lol.

    Sabers ordered: Dark Sentinel V5 & LE V5.

    Just received an order I places on May 27th.  Got my Spectre (obsidian v4 emerald) and 3 mysteries!!  loving the new sabers but I also ordered The Fallen on May 4th (a full 23 days prior) and that one is still processing.  I've sent a few emails, but haven't recieved any type of response yet.  Anyone know of any severe delays on The Fallen or should I keep impatiently blowing up email?

    I have been in contact a fair bit with customer service about the Fallen.  If you ordered a black one then they are definitely out of stock.  I got an email today saying that they expected it to ship in 3-4 weeks.  This was a response to me saying that I would stick with the black instead of switching to a blue or red.  I got the feeling from the email that those 2 colours actually are in stock and could ship right away.

    Of course I expect that 3-4 weeks to actually be more like 4-5 weeks... but I'm resigned to the wait now... :)

    After 10 weeks of waiting I finally sent off an email to check on the status. I know that it very well could be another 10 weeks before I get a response...

    My review of the saber is up at http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=45642.msg772957;boardseen#new (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=45642.msg772957;boardseen#new) if anyone cares to see it. I'll be doing a video review as well, where I'll touch a bit more on the recent issues folks are experiencing.

    For now, it's worth noting that it appears many of the folks who ordered in late April/Early May are starting to get their confirmation and shipments, so for those around that mark, I recommend sitting tight just a bit longer before cancelling/etc.

    I'm assuming you're talking about the black Fallen; someone posted elsewhere here about a week ago that US notified them, they have a shortage of those, and the estimated time that they'll have more from their supplier is 4-5 weeks. 

    Yup that was me. On July 2 I was told 4-5 weeks by Laura. However, another poster was told 3-4 weeks out for shipment on june 27th. So...im not sure which to trust. Just know they aren't receiving daily shipments and their weekly shipments are smaller.

    Depending on when each of you ordered it, and how high up you are on the waiting list for this hilt, both informations could be true =)

    The only thing that scares me about some of those "fancy, multi-option but still somehow cheap" sabers is their durability and longevity.
    Before I choose US, I was eyeing one of those other guy sabers and, while cheap, I read some of the reviews about how the sabers would just stop charging after a while and the saber would be dead forever.
    Another review said in order to stop that from happening, you have to make sure to charge it every other week, even if you don't plan to use it.

    That didn't seem worth it to me.  US may not have the most up-to-date, bleeding edge tech in their sabers, but at least it's reliable by most accounts. And it appears simple enough to be easy to fix should something happen.
    Kinda of a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality, which I kinda like. The more bells and whistles you add, the more things can go wrong

    Ironically, one of the early review vids I watched was from our very own Lord Sidious at Sidious Sabers.
    My first reaction was that he was being a 'snob' saying that the "other guy" saber was just a toy.
    I mean, these are all toys. But after getting my own ultrasabers, I now realize he was right; true custom sabers don't feel like toys.
    But those cheaper sabers do.

    Your concerns over some of the *earlier* 'toy' sabers is definitely genuine, I've messed around with a few that were downright cheap in feel and construction. But.. as with anything that's produced, evolution takes place. Many of the sabers that are produced by the well known 'cheap' Chinese manufacturers have evolved into as good, if not BETTER than some of the other vendors out there.. that's what encourages innovation. Some people have complained about the quality of their blades, the hilts, their sound boards... but now, you can actually order a number of them with Neopixels, Proffie boards, and most have moved to aluminum hilts a long time ago. Now, the next concern is always the fact that their 'neopixel blades are garbage'. I recommend looking up a durability test that one of the reps for the 'other guys' did with one of their neopixel blade sabers.. he beat the snot out of a steel chair with it, to the point he was dripping with sweat... we're talking baseball bat swings at that poor defenseless chair...lol

    If the previous poster is talking about the same USA based company, that I think he is, they're re purposing Chinese 'other guys' sabers, installing their own boards and the like.


    That said, these ones from that same 'other guy', generally feel well polished and handle well. They're no longer a single piece that can't be pulled apart (many of the older sabers were) They can be disassembled VERY easily (even though I don't recommend it, since it will void the warranty).
    Also.. we've been beating ourselves silly for the last 3 weeks with these things.... no tips popping off.. no warped blades.. the hilts have been dropped multiple times, we disarmed each other multiple times.. the things work well... and sometimes we get a bit errr.. too rough with them.. :) (1 smashed lamp, one broken steel ceiling fan, multiple dings and dents in the walls.... yeah.. my wife and daughter have issues with control :)


    As for the battery thing.. that's usually a recommended practice by a lot of the collectors/duelers out there. Either recharge it every few weeks, or pull the battery out to prevent discharge.

    Just because something is one way, right now, doesn't mean it won't change.. and that's the case with a lot of the inexpensive sabers, now... they're definitely not the same quality they were, years ago. (and that's a good thing)


    As for customer service for this 'other guy'... I agree 100% with the previous posters. The owner responds super fast, and knows enough about the product for me to be comfortable with the statement that they use the Chinese hilts, and a few components, but touch every item, themselves, to tweak and make changes.

    That said.. devil's advocate, here...one thing I'd like to point out, is that any company can claim they have great customer service.... and we take them at their word. (The whole 'Tommy Boy'  "Guarantee written on the box!", argument) However, it's not until you run into a real problem, that you start to see the cracks in the seams with most companies.

    I received one of that other guy's sabers in, yesterday, via one of their mystery boxes. It's literally, the EXACT saber I was hoping for with my last order of mystery boxes... I was about to do backflips...

    Now... there's a problem with this order.. the pommel doesn't come off for whatever reason. I'm considering removing the pommel, and buying another, and making a staff out of it. (Their products can generally be coupled together, easily) I've used grips, a strap wrench, and padded channel locks. I've even stuck this thing into a vice, and attempted to remove it.. it's stuck on there well and truly good.

    The owner and I were chatting about it, last night, and he told me to do what I can, and if it STILL doesn't come off.. he'll get me a replacement sent out immediately. Needless to say, I wasn't able to get the thing off. I can move it about 1/2", but it doesn't budge beyond that... So we're working out the details, right now, if he wants me to ship this one back or not. We suspect that when electroplating, the hilt (yes.. I wanted a shiny hilt) may have gotten a bit into some of the threads, and caused some binding. He pointed out that I can remove that part of the hilt by twisting it off, further up, if I need access to the battery right away...


    So... I have a problem. I got a response within 30 mins of my sending an email. They acknowledged there is a problem, and it's not my fault.. they offered up some suggestions, and then a temporary workaround. All while explaining exactly what they will do to fix the issue.

    THAT is what I expect from a company.. ANY company.. and as old as it's going to make me sound, here, that's the way customer service USED to be. It's somewhat sad that, now, we give a company A+ marks, just when they do what we expect of them, as their customers.


    Still, I HOPE, above all else.. this entire situation provides Ultrasabers (and all of their competitors) some insight into how they can improve their company, and highlight their weak spots.  Adversity breeds innovation (and improvement), after all :)

    still week 12

    but i came here to say... i ordered a saber from some "other guys" (i cant mention) on June 19th cause i was sad i haven't heard back from US... and just yesterday i got the shipping date for that order. Their wait time they said was 8-10 weeks and i was completely WILLING to wait that long since they INFORMED me. but i didn't even need too :) and I'm very happy and exTREMELY excited. (coughs take notes US)

    this new def shines a bad light on US, in mY opinion, being a first-time buyer from here (and those other guys)

    lets hope i hear from US soon or get a shipping date cause im very ready to jump ship here now that my other saber is coming. (i have faith US's product will be GOOD but its just this predicament im in where at a certain point i dont care about the product anymore cause of this unprofessional adittude US has...)

    don't get me wrong. if i get my saber form US (if i don't cancel out of annoyance) and its as beautiful as i imagined in my head I'm willing to forgive... buuuuutttt LOL you guys know.. I'm salty  :P

    I have to personally (yet respectfully) disagree.

    This may very well be the case in normal times when Ultrasabers would ship (and maybe even arrive) within the week, but for me those 10 weeks were excruciating, whereas these 3 days of shipping are just making me excited. Heck, the original delivery estimate was tomorrow and now it's saying it should be here within the next 2 hours. Sure, I'm just as impatient as before, but now it's a "good" impatient instead of an annoyed impatient.

    (I hope this doesnt sound too argumentative or anything, just trying to be lighthearted)

    I couldn't help but laugh at the mental image of your family destroying your living room...that'll be us too, I'm sure.  And I agree with your last point; I think US was caught completely with their proverbial pants down from this whole situation, but I think once the dust settles, they'll learn from this and be ready for the next time a dose of madness hits.

    Maybe.  Hopefully.

    Yes. I'm dying to see what's in the box. Fingers crossed there will be everything I ordered. My only issue now (and it's on my end), is that it is due to arrive tomorrow on my second longest day of work, combined with the fact that I have an online continuing education webinar scheduled from 8-10pm EST. I'd say I can wait to open them on Friday, but that's literally my longest day of work (8a ~ 8-9pm). So I'm not sure I can actually enjoy the unboxing until Saturday. I'd almost rather FedEx deliver it on Saturday. LOL

    So how long is really long enough? I've been waiting 10 weeks, have sent 10 emails and gotten no reply's to anything until I got an email from another company asking if I have gotten my saber yet and to reply to the email if I did. I have sent enough emails I feel and to get no response is beyond worried me now that I feel I have been ripped off. Its not like I ordered a custom. Simple Dominix v2. So how long is really long enough before I go to the bank and file a fraud charge? I'm not paying anything for something I cant get.

    Unfortunately that is up to you. Up until recently it seemed rare for orders to go past 2 months, which is when I intend to start emailing about my order.
    But I've started to see more accounts of orders going 10-12 weeks.
    I also ordered a V2, although it was an Aeon with the RGB option, which I fully expected to take some time for several reasons:
    1) The RGB option requires a special hilt be made
    2) It cannot use AV switches, so it could be waiting on Guarded switches if they are out
    3) It has to use the 4AAA holder as the 2AA holder will not fit in the hilt at all.

    Seeing wait I have from other accounts, I was fairly certain I'd have to wait.
    The fact that I had to research that on my own is a separate issue, but I feel I went in with the right expectation, so I do not intend to file a charge back dispute at all.
    But I may need to get a response to change my address if I move soon

    Well, compadres, I think I've officially done gone crazy.  First orders haven't even shipped yet and I'm already 6 or 7 sabers deep in my wish list on the US site.

    And I do plan on ordering these....just not all at once.  I figure, after the holidays, save up over a month or so and then *KA-CHING!*  Save up again and then *KA-CHING!*

    And I'm gonna make a deal with the kids: if they want a different emitter or pommel for the saber they get for Christmas, or if maybe they want to try an Ultraedge blade instead of the regular, I'll spring for it.  However, if they want another saber, they gotta save up the money.  Or at least, most of the money....knowing me, I'll probably chip in a little.

    Of course, the ones I've already ordered have to show up first before all this happens.  But still, it's fun to daydream a little.  8)

    LOL...it's hard to resist, isn't it?  I'm about 4 sabers deep into my wish list, but I'm not ordering anything else until after Christmas.

    Now watch, the way things are going, you'll get your tracking number tomorrow..... :D

    Just got confirmation that the renegade I ordered on 6/1 shipped. Stoked for that. The spectre and initiate I ordered on 5/4 is still processing and no response (yet) to the email.   I'm sure it's a parts issue that's holding up the other order but I wish I'd get an update on it. Feeling super guilty that mine is gonna show up before the wife and son's.
    The Spectre will blow your mind! So incredible

    Well, compadres, I think I've officially done gone crazy.  First orders haven't even shipped yet and I'm already 6 or 7 sabers deep in my wish list on the US site.

    Its incredibly difficult to resist making sabers om their website. The fact that MHS compatibility exists the saber combos are endless...unfortunately my pocket does end lol but gotta work more shifts and pick up more hours to support the saber addiction ☺

    Maybe.  Hopefully.

    Dude.. seriously..  If you've ever seen the video for the Oculus game, where it shows some gal utterly destroying her room... THAT is our living room.

    I keep telling my wife and daughter, if they break the TV.. that's when everyone is gonna be upset. ;) Honestly, I just need to get the hack saw out, and reduce the length of all the saber blades, some... *Shrug*

    Finally broke down and emailed them last night (as suggested by the delivery conformation email which we all know means nothing) and I actually heard back today, confirming that it has not shipped yet and they missed their shipping window, and an apology for that. He asked for a day or so to look into the issue and get back to me. Hopefully it seems that their response issues aren't as bad as they had been.

    My 5/5 order of 2 MB that shipped on Monday has finally arrived!
    My wife and I have chosen.

    She gets the Initiate LE V4 in Guardian Blue with windows and a silver non-illuminated AV switch, no sound.

    I get the Dominix LE V2 in Fire Orange with a black non-illuminated AV switch and no sound.

    Fairly basic, but that's what you get when you do MB so I can't complain. The only issues i have are that they seem a little...  unfinished... looking closely you can see the little ridges from the machining process and if you run your fingernail up and down you can feel them. Luckily I'm going to be weathering and wrapping both so that should help.

    Other issue is that I took out the blade and put my plug in, and now it is stuck. I think the tiny ridges may have messed with the diameter a bit or something. Damaging the plug to get it out isnt the worst choice since I always intended to get a custom plug eventually.

    So, a couple tiny issues, but given how fast they are trying to get these out, I cant be THAT upset about it.

    I've only had to wait 2 months on a single order before. Most of my others were between 3-5 weeks while a recent surprise of a 1 week order.
    My 5/18 order just past 7 weeks so hopefully not long now.
    This should be my last order for a while, but hopefully they are more caught up by the next time I order a saber

    Very cool! I like the opposing colors of the hilts and the blades. That's exactly what I'm hoping for. I hear you on the minor issues. And yeah, while we'd love a super cool MB or even sound...I think it's quite telling that right now with COVID and all the Super Delays that MBs are going to be based on what's available and likely lower to lower-mid tier. But the real question is, can your wife beat the snot out you and have fun doing so? Plus with the fairly basic hilts, you can work on spins and not have to worry as much about drops and about scuffing it up a bit. That's one of the main reasons I went with a MB. I'm too much of a perfectionist...at least I didn't pick these MBs so I can't bitch too much about what comes or the scrapes we put on them. LOL

    I got a $75 saber?  Looks like an Aeon V3, silver A/V switch.  I think it's Arctic Blue for the blade color.
    Nice! I like the upgraded AV switches. That should be a good hilt for spinning and customization on your end. It it's arctic blue that really cool!

    Side Question: Did you all get all that you ordered? I ask as I put in for HG blades and 2 circle plugs.

    Yeah, for a cheapo mystery stunt saber that's going to get scarred up in purpose and wrapped, it's not the end of the world and I can deal with it.

    If it had been the black Spectre with no etching and the programmable LEDs and FoC and premium sound that's in my wishlist, then I would be pretty mad.

    Someone on here, I think it was Galef,  mentioned that he got wind that US was short on guarded switches, so they were putting in the non-illuminated AV switches - an upgrade - for no extra cost.  Is that what happened with you?

    Yes that was my assumption because I have received about 5 sabers since March that all had the AV switch upgrade and I didn't order it.
    But the Crimson Scorpion I recently received did have the Guarded switch, so now I'm not sure

    really just the saber plug is what frustrated me, shortages of switches makes sense, and that could explain why the battery pack was different too, but i mean, the plug is too big, i don't feel like that should have been overlooked, I can forgive everything else

    Any idea how long it is taking for sabers?

    First tbing I'll mention is that this site is hosted by Ultrasabers, but none of us here are connected with the company.   We're just fans of lightsabers and Star Wars in general..

    Right now, the company is giving everyone an ESTIMATED lead time of 3-4 weeks to get the orders processed.   Some people have been getting their orders within that time, some have gotten theirs sooner - we had one member get his shipping confirmation the day after he ordered - but most people seem to be waiting about 6-8 weeks for theirs.  Some are waiting longer than that.

    My point is, it's a roll of the dice.  Orders ARE getting shipped, but the company is getting slammed from all directions; first because of Covid-19 affecting the work force, they're also dealing with shortages of materials, electronics, etc.  This is on top of them already getting slammed from a deluge of orders from Rise of Skywalker mania.  Theyre not processing orders sequentially, either; whatever they can get out as soon as possible, they ship.

    Not to discourage you from ordering, just be aware that you might be waiting a while for your order.  But you will get it.

    Got an apology email from Lauren about the delay beyond the 4 week mark and the promise of an update in a couple business days.

    I know this wasn't entirely cut/paste because I had asked to upgrade my shipping and she addressed that directly.

    Honestly this communication is all I needed to put my mind at ease. Back to twiddling my thumbs with antici.....pation.

    I'm still miffed we missed his birthday, father's day, 4th of July - all great days to swing some sabers. But we will make the most of it! I think it's cool that in all the new MB posts and new unboxing videos online, that most of the hilts are different. The only common one I've seen is the Aeon V3 (three of them now). No disrespect to those that really like that hilt - it just doesn't speak to me. But it's big game of chance and I'm just glad to be playing it right now.

    Really though, the only nagging thoughts I have right now is that given the all the delays, COVID, and parts shortages...there is virtually no chance of getting a saber with sound. And that's the highlighted perk for taking a chance on a $75 MB. So with it a near certainty of getting a stunt saber - it may have been better to simply pick 2 hilts in the MB price range that I like and fit them out accordingly. But we'll see - that's water under the bridge now.

    Actually, by some minor miracle, I've managed to keep them all under $400 (gotta have the recharge ports).  So maybe I'm only slightly mad.

    Unrelated note....this weekend will have finished week 6 on my first order.  Unless I hear something, I think I'll shoot off a friendly email just to see what the latest word is.  Just out of curiosity; for all I know, the Fallen that I ordered isn't the issue and it's something else that's easy to fix.  And I'll admit, I'm curious to see how long it would take for a reply, especially since I made out fine the last time I emailed them.  Stay tuned....

    New update from me.

    I ordered 1 Mystery Box May 11th, 1 Mystery Box May 16th (Some one to duel with), 2 Mystery Boxes + 1 Blazing Red Dark Initiate v2 with a  16" mini blade June 26th (gifts for family)

    I have now recieved my June 26th order in full, but not either of my May orders.

    In my June order I have received:
    1 Dark Initiate v2 with Black A/V Switch in Blazing Red
    1 Aeon v3 with a Silver A/V Switch in Blazing Red but it also only has a pair of AA batteries for a power pack and a couple scratches on the hilt (Odd, may have been meant as a Grab Bag rather than a Mystery Box?)
    1 Aeon v4 with a Guarded Silver Switch and Windowed Emitter in Blue Violet Amethyst
    All with Blade Plugs for Safety and Heavy Blades because I plan on someone hitting stuff with them

    They all feel good, but so far I like The Aeon v4 best

    If/When I figure out the picture thing I can send pics.

    I am quite curious where my May orders are though...

    Quick Edit: I have just looked at my E-Mail and have a Customer Service E-Mail from US. Apparently they are looking into it.

    Finally broke down and emailed them last night (as suggested by the delivery conformation email which we all know means nothing) and I actually heard back today, confirming that it has not shipped yet and they missed their shipping window, and an apology for that. He asked for a day or so to look into the issue and get back to me. Hopefully it seems that their response issues aren't as bad as they had been.

    This is a group of UltraSabers customers and fans, not a way to reach UltraSabers customer service.  Nobody here works for UltraSabers.  We can give advice, but we can’t provide specific information about your order because we don’t have access to any of that information.

    ORDINARILY, you would probably have your sober in your hand already, because their turnaround time was typically 1-2 weeks.  Lots of us old-timers have that as our default experience with UltraSabers.  HOWEVER... in early December of last year, thanks to all the fan excitement surrounding the last Star Wars movie, a new Star Wars TV show that apparently should have been titled “Baby Yoda” instead, the release of a new Star Wars video game, the Christmas gift-giving season, and a winter sales promotion, they began to have so many orders that they fell behind.  In January, there started to be issues with parts and components, because of the COVID-19 issues in China, where some of the electronic parts are manufactured, and they fell a little more behind.  In February, the fallout from COVID-19 started to have effects here in the United States, and some of their more-local parts suppliers fell behind, not just the ones in China.  As time progressed, and as social-distancing measures needed to be put into effect in the workplace (causing more than the usual scheduling issues of getting the right technician, the right saber, the right parts, and the right tools all at the right workstation at the right time, multiplied across the multiple suppliers used), the backlog continued.  On May 25, they lost all their emails prior to that date, and that has caused its own issues.  They have staff working 24x7 trying to catch up from the backlog, and some progress is being made, but they are nowhere near back to normal yet.

    Their overall delivery times have slipped quite a bit; although some folks still get their sabers in a week or two, some sabers take three or four weeks, and some take eight weeks or longer.  Note that the orders are NOT worked in a First-In-First-Out queue order; there are too many dependencies on various parts, technician skill sets, machine/workstation availability, and Lord-only-knows what else for that to be even close to efficient.  There have been entire books— heck, entire college courses,— written on efficient manufacturing-process scheduling, so there’s no way I can give a full explanation here; just know that it’s very complicated.

    The response times on the customer service emails have slipped quite a bit, too.  All I can say is to keep sending POLITE emails to [email protected] with your order number in the subject line, but I wouldn’t send an email every day; that will just clog up the Inbox and make it harder to find the emails that need an answer other than “Yes, we have your order, and it’s in the processing queue, but I can’t tell you when it will ship, because we are waiting on <fill_in_the_blank>.”  There’s nothing wrong with wanting an update, because you have sent them your money; just understand that right now, getting an update, or your saber, is going to take longer than normal, and longer than any of us would like.

    So my constant stream of emails finally proved fruitful today, as I got an email from a lovely woman named Nicole. Apparently she has found the hilt to fulfill my order and they will be making it ASAP. Thank God the wait is almost over. To any of you out there who are in a similar position it seems that some of their customer service staff has been gone for a couple weeks and they are getting to us as fast as I can. Hopefully you will all hear something soon , good luck y'all

    Well I came to say I got an email from a customer service rep (which was lovely and apologetic for the delay) and it seems the CS fairies have been visiting quite a few over the last 24 hours.  Makes me wonder if they were short staffed or there was a further technical issue that has now been fixed.

    Anyway, as you may recall (or not given it was my only other post) I had attempted to contact CS several times regarding some upgrades I desired.  As a newbie I ordered before fully understanding the options available (rookie mistake).  My last email to them was quite detailed in what I wanted changed and what to keep the same.  As a result it was a very easy conversation as the rep had the new detailed specs already and simply had to ask "is this right" and move onto payment.

    Now the CS may have been slow (which shouldn't occur, some allowances for the current situation but was still way too long in responding if you want happy and content customers) but when I did get them they went above and beyond.  In fact I was told my order qualified me for not 1, but 2 free sabers!

    I'm still not sure how much longer they will take to fabricate and ship but my order is now exactly what I want with some freebies so I am happy to wait.  Being about as far away as you can get globally for shipping from everywhere I am used to long waits already.

    Now to start looking for display options for these beauties...

    My brother has the Unspecial Edition and absolutely loves it.  I'll have to borrow it from him one of these days to compare it; I've only seen the Special Editions since, well, 1997.

    Unrelated note; based on some of the posts, it sounds like the customer service emails are starting to gain some speed after a period of stalling out.  Wonder if it was another technical goof, or if Coronageddon hit the company - sounds like Texas is getting nuked by it....again.

    Either way, maybe this is where the company turns things around, hmm?

    My wife was not a fan of SW at all, but she never once gave me crap over my obsession with it, she even fed it.  One Father's Day, I ended up getting a Lightsaber umbrella - the shaft lights up in 4 or 5 different colors.  I still have it and use it.  Probably would have given me that robe, too, if I was the kind of guy who wore bathrobes.

    She did fall in love with Baby Yoda, though, I will say that.  She never saw the show but she knew about him, LOL....

    This is really getting me some hope! I had the exact same problem and ordered something which I realized later wasn't correct. Since then I tried to reach them via mail and phone (which was interesting enough 'cuz I'm from Germany) but had no chance for an answer. Right now I'm just hoping that somebody reads one of the mails before the order is finished and sent out ...

    I've been waiting 10 weeks now.  They were out of the emitter for the dark mantis, and I made the mistake of asking if I could get a crimson mantis emitter instead and I haven't heard back from them in over a week now.  I will say mystery sabers usually arrive within 2 weeks, so I recommend starting with that, so you don't go insane waiting

    My Apprentice LEv5 with Lite Sound and Fire Orange blade arrived. Very happy with it - was a bit surprised that the brass/gold effect on the hilt is lighter than it seems in the pics on the site - there it looks more brass/bronze but it really is a more gold colour. Also wasn't aware that the strips for the windows are a separate insert that will also come out if the blade retention screw is fully removed. But that's not a major deal as I don't intend to have the blade out much - though nice to see my 3D-printed red blade plug does a great job of stopping the LED blinding you whilst also letting the orange colour out from the top and windows. Had to print another though as the dimensions of the US blade plug (or at least what someone here posted them as) would have made it too short.

    I'll post a vid/pics once I can get decent ones - most of the walls in my house are white and there's a lot of ambient light so the blade looks a bit faint, but I took a vid of it on the carpet that shows off how good it looks - just need to upload to the Tube Of You.

    One thing I would look at/suggest US do if they don't already is consider a pommel in the same brass/gold effect as the handle - it would really top this hilt off style-wise.

    I defo have the bug, so hoping the sweatshop allegations don't bear out - I would really like a Fallen, but it sounds like that'll be a long time coming. Maybe a Spectre or Grand Master (is that latter one based off a show version?)...

    The only issues i have are that they seem a little...  unfinished... looking closely you can see the little ridges from the machining process and if you run your fingernail up and down you can feel them. Luckily I'm going to be weathering and wrapping both so that should help.


    I also noticed that with my Aeon.. the hilt definitely isn't as smooth as all of my others.. I don't hate it.. in fact, I LIKE it, due to the fact it gives a little bit more grip, now. But still.. yeah.. was weird seeing it.

    I’m almost 9 weeks in now. This morning I woke up and checked my phone and saw an email from Ultrasabers and practically bolted up to read it. Very disappointed when I came to find it was asking for confirmation that my order has been delivered. The email says to wait 24-48 hours then email US if it hasn’t been delivered, which I will do, but some people have been receiving orders without getting a shipping number so I have a tiny bit of hope it might arrive soon.

    Well, my impetuous nature got the better of me; I sent them an email to find out what's up.  Week 6 ends tomorrow if going by business days, so I figured why not.   I was polite and cordial, made sure they understood that I was not complaining, I just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong that couldn't be fixed.

    We'll see what happens. I have a feeling that the Fallen I ordered is holding me up, but hopefully that's the only problem.

    Coming up on 4 weeks for my Empress order. Shot an email off into the ether. Let's see if I hear anything! Still trying to change my Blazing Red's FoC from orange to violent amethyst. But will probably be fine either way whenever it arrives.

    I'm a math teacher slated for 8th grade next year and am looking forward to using the sabers (Empress and free one from deal) to help illustrate graphing systems of equations (two intersecting lines). Silly gimmicks like this always seem to keep the kiddos engaged... Assuming it's even safe enough to have live classes, but that's another story!

    As far as I can tell, the AV switch is an upgrade from the standard guarded switch, so that's a bonus.  And I think, from what I read elsewhere on here, that they may be out of the AAA battery setup and did yours with the 2 AA batteries.  Take a look; are they regular,  or Li-Ion batteries?

    Okay, I was just curious.  But yeah, that's my guess; they used the AA setup cause they're short on the AAA setup.

    Yeah, it seems that they may be dealing with a shortage of the plastic 4AAA pack by using the plastic 2AA pack (same as Li-ions) in some stunt sabers.
    I've only seen/heard of this happening with Red or Orange as those LEDs require less voltage, which 2AA at 1.5v each can supply.
    Blue, Green and other LED colors require more voltage and thus 2AAs would not be enough.

    I got a Grab Bag DSI with the 2AAs and it's still fairly bright and still has the AAs it shipped with. I bought rechargeable, but haven't had to swap them out yet, so maybe the capacity in AAs is greater.
    I kinda wish other LEDs could use AAs just for that convenience

    Well, my impetuous nature got the better of me; I sent them an email to find out what's up.  Week 6 ends tomorrow if going by business days, so I figured why not.   I was polite and cordial, made sure they understood that I was not complaining, I just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong that couldn't be fixed.

    We'll see what happens. I have a feeling that the Fallen I ordered is holding me up, but hopefully that's the only problem.

    TWO HOURS LATER.....

    Reply from Nichole, she's going to look into it.

    Also, there's no way in hell that this was a copy and paste reply.  I'll leave it at that.

    Got an email response from my inquiry into my order.  Diamond Controller Fallen, mystery box, free initiate, free grab bag.  Should have an shipping update tomorrow, don’t want to jinx it, but as soon as I get the shipping notification I’ll fill you in on the Fallen details.  But there is a light synths end of the tunnel

    Coming up on 4 weeks for my Empress order. Shot an email off into the ether. Let's see if I hear anything! Still trying to change my Blazing Red's FoC from orange to violent amethyst. But will probably be fine either way whenever it arrives.

    I'm a math teacher slated for 8th grade next year and am looking forward to using the sabers (Empress and free one from deal) to help illustrate graphing systems of equations (two intersecting lines). Silly gimmicks like this always seem to keep the kiddos engaged... Assuming it's even safe enough to have live classes, but that's another story!
    Well this escalated quickly! I got an email response back less than 40 minutes later.....   :o  :o  :o  :o

    The rep that emailed me back basically said that they "got a hold of my order just in time to change the FoC color" and that my order should be "fabricated and ready to ship in the next 1-2 business days."

    So..... let's see what happens!  ;D

    Funny thing is that I was going to wait until Monday to send an email since that is when my order becomes 8 weeks old.
    But with so many getting email responses, I figured now was a better time.
    And I was right!

    However, I do want to temper my excitment until I actually get the shipping confirmation.
    I had a January order go over 2 months and when I emailed them about it, it turned out they were out of one of the hilts I ordered.
    They got back to me in about 3 days with acceptable alternative hilts, but in this case the hilt is very unique:

    Aeon v2 with RGB.
    The only alternatives to that are either:
    A) V2 in Tri-Silver with color discs, which is far less valuable than I paid or
    B) A Bellicose or Manticore in RGB, which is over twice the value I paid.

    But I really do have my heart set on a V2. So if they can't fulfill the RGB, maybe I can bargain for a Phantasm initiate v2 with 1 hilt Tri-Silver and one Tri-Blue.
    That's still cheaper than what I paid, but it'd be an acceptable alternative to get them sooner.

    Yep, same as the last time i emailed them back in June about the Frankensaber upgrades, and i got quick replies on that, too, from a different rep.

    I am both excited and dreading today.

    My Saber order should arrive today.

    The dread comes from the fact that despite emailing them more then 7 times over the last month, they shipped it to my old address. I had a falling out with my old landlord when I moved out, despite having a month to month lease and he does not want me on the property due to me "betraying him" so unless I can intercept the FedEx delivery out front it may be a real problem for me.

    I do not trust him at all once the package is on his property. I tried to have the package held at a FedEx location for pickup, but I guess Ultrasabers does not allow it.

    I am really nervous i will be unable to get my order.

    Should you be worried? I mean, it clearly doesn't fit in a mailbox. And I think they can't deliver it to someone without ID? But I get your problem... Is there anyone trustworthy there?

    Hi, I made my first ultra sabers purchase about 2 months ago during the may 4th sale and have not received my order. I purchased the Apprentice LE v5 and a Shock LE pommel. I have been trying to contact customer service to get a status update and to change the shipping address but I have gotten no response. I have tried emaiing them multiple times and sending them a dm on facebook. I am really concerned that I am being scammed because my friend has purchased and recieved 2 lightsabers within a week while I am still waiting to hear about my order. I am posting to ask for advice on what to do in this situation. I am considering canceling my order but if I do that I lose $88. I'd like to hear your guys' thoughts.

    I doubt you are being scammed. If you received an email confirming your oder, I'd say it will arrive eventually.
    They have stock issues on some items, so if your oder is impacted, it might explain the lead time.
    They were kinda slow to answer emails but some of us (not me though) have been lucky those last days. So you could try sending another email to [email protected] with your order number in the object line.

    Something else that might be worth a shot, try emailing them from a different email address if you have more than one.  For example, instead of the email you used to purchase the order, use the one you registered here with, if they're different.

    The reason I say that is, they had a huge problem with their email server back in late May (all the emails they had received up to May 25 were wiped out) and someone here either had a theory, or had heard something about some emails not getting through the phishing safeguards, depending on what type of email address it is.

    It's worth a shot, at least, right?  Just remember to include your order number in the subject heading.   And be patient; I'm one of the ones who has been lucky to get replies, so there are people on the other end.  Hang in there, and let us know how you make out.

    Scam i dont think so. if US was a scam why would it ship out a lot of sabers as shown on this board. would they just randomly choose an order not to fill NO. Its an inventory issue, yes their communication area needs work most here would agree there. contact them at the address previously shown give it time say a week ot so and try again

    As for being scammed. Not at all. Just a victim of unusually long wait times due to a number of factors none of us really know 100%. We are all just speculating at this point unless otherwise stated by US. Ive been told by Laura all of this is due to social distancing and limited staffing caused by it. Shipments aren't coming as frequently or in as high quantity. Your best bet is to just try to be patient a little longer. 8-10 weeks seems to be about the normal wait time. Unless its for the fallen. Then maybe a bit longer. Just keep the faith and as always, may the force be with you.

    No news yet from Nichole or whoever.   Although, to be fair, it hasn't even been a full 24 hours yet.  And they're at least a couple of hours behind me as far as time zones go.  It's just the anticipation getting the better of me, LOL.

    Wish I could have gone for the Emerald driver on my Fallen, only because I know that even if I order more sabers in the future  - and i do plan to - the Fallen is going to be my Number One.  Juicing it up seems appropriate.   But the price was too far out of my range, not to mention it wouldn't have been fair for the kids not to do the same for theirs, and that REALLY would have jacked the price up.

    Ah, well.  Don't mind me, folks, just thinking out loud.  I'll be happy enough if what I did order comes through 100% perfect.    ;D

    Got a reply from Nichole...no good juju for me, I'm afraid.

    The reason my order hasn't shipped yet is because not only is there a delay with the Fallen (rrrrgh, i knew it) but there is a delay with the Savior as well.  So I'm getting the double whammy.  I can either switch to a crimson or azure model of each, or swap out for a different model that costs the same.

    Here's my problem....I'm not a fan of the colored hilts of the Fallen, I want the black version.  And for the Savior, I went with the gold highlights because the blade is Violet Amethyst, and purple & gold are my son's high school colors.  Plus, I don't think purple would look good with the crimson or azure highlights.   Now, if the Dark Savior is available, that would work.  Not to mention, I could always swap his out for a different hilt; the Dark Arbitor looks rather nice.

    But the Fallen...THE FALLEN!  AAARRGH!!

    I've got some decisions to make....first I want to know what the estimated time is as of now for them getting back in stock, and I'll go from there.  Nothing good is ever easy, is it?

    Still.....Nichole did get back to me quickly, I gotta applaud that.

    Thats bad news for me too. :( Honestly I may just request swapping to the LE version. If it will help ship faster. I dont care for the red or blue. Still bad news for us both.

    Man, oh man....do i have an update to tell you guys about.....

    So I emailed Nichole back, asking if she could give me some kind of idea or estimate on when the Fallen and Savior would be available.  I was thinking, if it was only going to be a couple of weeks or so, I might just bite the bullet and wait it out.   If it was going to be longer, I would come up with a plan B.   Didn't hear back from her for a little while, I figured she was doing some digging to find out.

    Yeah, she was digging all right.  Digging up a 55 gallon drum of Good Juju to drop right on my head.

    It turns out that the version of the Savior that they ran out of is the one that doesn't have windows in the emitter.   I ordered the one WITH windows.  And as for the Fallen, someone who had ordered the black hilt recently swapped it out of their order for a different color, and she was able to snag it for me.

    KA-BOOM!!!

    She said it'll take a couple of days to fabricate everything because my order is big - 9 lightsabers - but as soon as it's ready to ship, they'll send me the tracking information.  Now the torture of waiting REALLY starts.

    My last question for her was to please make sure the upgrade order I placed for the Frankensaber was linked to tbis one.  Probably won't hear on that one until Monday, unless she's working over the weekend.

    Still...180 degree turnaround.   And if she hadn't taken the time to investigate a little further, I might have missed out on the Fallen model that I wanted.  THAT is customer service.

    I'm going to wait until the order comes in and I've checked it all out, but if everything is okay with it, Ultrasabers is getting a 5 star review from me.   And I will definitely be a repeat customer.

    WOO-HOO!!!


    Title: Re: Ultra Sabers Customer Service.
    Post by: Cyclops942 on July 11, 2020, 12:50:19 AM
    This is a group of UltraSabers customers and fans, not a way to reach UltraSabers customer service.  Nobody here works for UltraSabers.  We can give advice, but we can’t provide specific information about your order because we don’t have access to any of that information.

    ORDINARILY, you would probably have your sober in your hand already, because their turnaround time was typically 1-2 weeks.  Lots of us old-timers have that as our default experience with UltraSabers.  HOWEVER... in early December of last year, thanks to all the fan excitement surrounding the last Star Wars movie, a new Star Wars TV show that apparently should have been titled “Baby Yoda” instead, the release of a new Star Wars video game, the Christmas gift-giving season, and a winter sales promotion, they began to have so many orders that they fell behind.  In January, there started to be issues with parts and components, because of the COVID-19 issues in China, where some of the electronic parts are manufactured, and they fell a little more behind.  In February, the fallout from COVID-19 started to have effects here in the United States, and some of their more-local parts suppliers fell behind, not just the ones in China.  As time progressed, and as social-distancing measures needed to be put into effect in the workplace (causing more than the usual scheduling issues of getting the right technician, the right saber, the right parts, and the right tools all at the right workstation at the right time, multiplied across the multiple suppliers used), the backlog continued.  On May 25, they lost all their emails prior to that date, and that has caused its own issues.  They have staff working 24x7 trying to catch up from the backlog, and some progress is being made, but they are nowhere near back to normal yet.

    Their overall delivery times have slipped quite a bit; although some folks still get their sabers in a week or two, some sabers take three or four weeks, and some take eight weeks or longer.  Note that the orders are NOT worked in a First-In-First-Out queue order; there are too many dependencies on various parts, technician skill sets, machine/workstation availability, and Lord-only-knows what else for that to be even close to efficient.  There have been entire books— heck, entire college courses,— written on efficient manufacturing-process scheduling, so there’s no way I can give a full explanation here; just know that it’s very complicated.

    The response times on the customer service emails have slipped quite a bit, too.  All I can say is to keep sending POLITE emails to [email protected] with your order number in the subject line, but I wouldn’t send an email every day; that will just clog up the Inbox and make it harder to find the emails that need an answer other than “Yes, we have your order, and it’s in the processing queue, but I can’t tell you when it will ship, because we are waiting on <fill_in_the_blank>.”  There’s nothing wrong with wanting an update, because you have sent them your money; just understand that right now, getting an update, or your saber, is going to take longer than normal, and longer than any of us would like.

    2 full months of nothing. I sent another email yesterday after seeing that they were answering emails but nothing yet. This is my second order, I got my first in about a month but it's almost certainly my last. All I needed them to do was let me know what was going on. It's a toy, I've paid more for stuff that took way longer to appear, but not stuff that went dark for two months after the expected due date. This is ridiculous.

    I finally got somewhere!  I heard from Laura (she was super helpful) and it seems the issue was the Dark Apprentice LE v5 hilt I ordered was what was holding everything up.  She offered a trade for an Apprentice LE v5 and I took the switch.  I got shipment notification on Thursday (7/9) and they should be here Sunday!  The other hilt I ordered was the Initiate LE v5.

    This is really interesting as I ordered three sabers; two apprentice v5s and one dark apprentice LE v5. I ordered and have been waiting since mid April for any news and nothing so far. I did write an email that hasn't gotten a response yet but that was in the beginning of the week after the holiday weekend. Maybe, just maybe I can get this cleared up in the way it was for you and I can get my order in sometime soon. That would be very cool.

    I’ll be honest. I’m digging the hilt. While the Dark Initiate is wicked cool, the Sentinel has got a great weight and I’ve never spun a baton let alone a saber, and this thing just feels comfortable in the hand. Hard to put it down tonight. 😎

    Still waiting on my prophecy v3 order from may 7th. I understand I ordered right after may the 4th, Star Wars day, and I get COVID hit. But I’m aggravated that no emails have been returned, no mass email to their subscribed email list addressing the concerns and updating wait times. This is my first saber and have been excited. But needless to say I’m very disappointed in the customer service. Most companies would offer some kind of compensation of some kind and I can’t even contact anyone about an ETA. I work for a home improvement warehouse, and if we had customer service like this we would be shut down. Unless something is done ASAP on my order I can honestly say I will have to go with another company for any future purchases, which is a damn shame. Maybe I’ll get luck and someone important will see this and light a fire under someone’s ass.....

     Lots of  important people will and have seen your post!  Unfortunately, none of us works for Ultrasabers.

     So welcome to the forum and what kind of saber did you get? If it is a saber with customizable sound like V3, V4 or Diamond, you should be looking through the obsidian  order part of the forum!
     I'm one of the people that makes sound fonts. I sometimes take requests! Just saying.
    There are other things to do on this forum!


    A watched pot never boils.



     What are you listening to or watching while you wait for your order?

    May I suggest...

    While I am happy that you got what you wanted, this kinda irriates me. I am 10 weeks in on the Phantom Initiate V4. Which is just two Initiate V4s. And since you got the Black A/V switch as well it does narrow down what is holding that hilt. Either Tri-AS LEDs, AAA battery holders or Dark Catalyst pommels.

    I know my Dominicide  (currently waiting 8 and 1/2 weeks) will be out of stock for several more weeks...

    I hope my things get shipped soon. I heard Texas is on the verge of shutting down again.

    All in all, I am very disappointed. I was a long time, returning customer....

    To those of you who have been waiting 8, 9, 10 weeks and beyond with no replies to your emails, all I can say is hang in there.  I'm not trying to needle you or be sarcastic.   It must be irritating as hell to hear our good news with no news at all coming your way, and it's totally understandable.  But believe me, there are people on the other end of the line over there; I've been fortunate every time I've contacted them with some questions to get prompt replies, and six weeks after my order was placed, I was told yesterday that I should be getting my Golden Ticket email in a couple of days.

    Be persistent, be patient, and above all, be civil.  I honestly wish you giys the best of luck.

    Sent an email checking on the Dominix that I ordered for my brother as a Christmas gift....even though it'll only have been 3 weeks this coming Tuesday, my curiosity got the better of me and I did admit that in the email.   Just want to make sure things are on track and there are no unfixable problems.

    And, I'll admit I'm curious to see if my Good Juju holds out a little further.    ;D

    EDIT:  I did not email Nichole about this one; since it was a separate order and question, I emailed the [email protected] address.  We'll see what happens.

    Coming into week 9 on a MB.


    I think they had a whole stockpile of them at one time, but they've had an avalanche of orders because of the giveaways, Rise of Skywalker mania, and just plain old people stuck at home with nothing to do.  So now they're having to craft them from scratch as quickly as possible.   Throw in material shortages, work staff issues with Covid-19, and we got ourselves a perfect storm of chaos.

    You'll get your order, though; they ARE processing and shipping.  It's just taking a hell of a lot longer than we (or they, for that matter) would like.  Trust me, we can totally empathize with you.  Hang in there.

    Nice....

    Hopefully FedEx is on point, too; when I placed my order I didn't go for the 2 day shipping, thinking that's not always a guarantee these days so why pay more?  Maybe I'll be lucky and it'll go quickly anyways.

    I never opted in for 2 days shipping either but it left out on Thursday and I'm getting in today so maybe there's a free upgrade because of making everybody wait I'm not sure one can hope

    Mine is coming FedEx. Scheduled for Monday, but FedEx has previously been notoriously bad with my building (locked gate that needs to be buzzed). I'm thinking of just propping the gate open for them and hoping no one closes it!

    Okay, so "my order" arrived today. This is what I ordered Aeon LEV5, tri-fire orange, orange illuminated silver AV switch, arbiter/archon classic pommel, covertech wheel, OS Lite sound, 40 inch heavy grade regular blade with pointed tip; also the free initiate promo saber.

    The free initiate WAS NOT in the box, AND the saber I ordered came with a regular tip on the heavy blade instead of the pointed one I paid extra for. I love the saber, but that love is EXTREMELY tempered by this shorting by US. I have sent an email inquiring about this matter. I bought such an expensive saber specifically because there was to be another saber included, and I was planning on buying several additional blades and pommels in future but that's out the window if this isn't resolved.

    Sent an email checking on the Dominix that I ordered for my brother as a Christmas gift....even though it'll only have been 3 weeks this coming Tuesday, my curiosity got the better of me and I did admit that in the email.   Just want to make sure things are on track and there are no unfixable problems.

    And, I'll admit I'm curious to see if my Good Juju holds out a little further.    ;D

    EDIT:  I did not email Nichole about this one; since it was a separate order and question, I emailed the [email protected] address.  We'll see what happens.

    No replies today, either to this one or to my Frankensaber inquiry from yesterday.   Not too surprised, though...I mean, it is the weekend.  I'm sure the production crews are working their duffs off 7 days a week, but that doesn't necessarily mean the CS reps are.  Especially since Texas is going through Coronageddon 2.0 right now.

    Just gotta play the waiting game, plain and simple.   What else is new, right?

    So this is my first time ordering custom light sabers for myself and also my friends who put into the order with me. Me and my friends put in the order roughly 9 weeks ago and roughly once a week since week 4 I have emailed, asking about the current Status. I haven't gotten any replies yet and was wondering if there was anything else I can do to find out the status of my order.

    The order is a bit of a large one, as we all went into the order together and are hoping to get them before summers end. The order is for 10 sabers (I'll post sabers at bottom). Would they wait until all the sabers could be shipped at once or would they have them shipped as completed?

    I've been reading this Forum for a while and decided to post and was wondering what you all thought about our current situation or if this is just another case of waiting and hoping for the shipping.

    Not much else you can do other than what you've been doing, my friend.  When you email them, make sure you're using the [email protected] address, put your order number in the subject, and try to at least be civil.  They're getting bombarded with emails left and right, for sure.  

    There are a few things that are probably causing your delay: material shortages, the work staff affected by the Covid-19 regulations, the fact that yours is a big order probably has a hand as well.  They won't ship the order piecemeal, they'll wait until everything is done and then ship the completed package out.

    For what it's worth, you're among company here that completely sympathize and empathize with you.   One thing is definite, though; you WILL get your order.   Keep us updated, especially when you do get your Golden Ticket.   We love hearing that news.

    And by the way, sounds like you've got a good arsenal coming.  Make sure to get some pictures posted for us.  We love those, too.   ;D

    Yeah, I got incredibly lucky with it; someone who had ordered the black Fallen changed their mind and switched it to one of the other versions.   Nichole was able to snag that black one for me.  Right place at the right time.  Just hoping they got the Frankensaber upgrades like I asked for.

    No, I think you'll be okay...Nichole didn't say anything to me about a different emitter than what I ordered.

    If I do end up with the standard emitter when I wanted the combat one, I'm not gonna be too happy,  LOL.

    Since I see you getting the shipping e-mail notice, here is how my Fed-Ex delivery worked. Texas, USA to Ontario, Canada

    Notified on Saturday the 4th
    Shiped from Ultrasabers on the 6th
    I was called to pay duty fees on the 7th, which I paid as soon as I knew I needed to
    The box arrived on the 8th at about noon

    They may have long wait times but as far as I can tell their shipping is excellent

    They may have long wait times but as far as I can tell their shipping is excellent



    That's good to know, thank you.  And you're a further distance than I am, so that's another point I should remember.

    Best of all, I'm working from home, so when it does show up, I can grab it and hide it before the kids see it.

    I am planning another purchase and I have yet to receive my first orders. I keep building sabers on the website and placing them in cart then deleting them. I am running out of family that they are supposed to be gifts for when I am unlikely to ever give them away.

    I have narrowed my choices down to...  all of them!

    Not really. I can't justify that much spent on this hobby/obsession, since I still like to have the basics like food and shelter...

    Looking at a Dark Sentinal v4 Stunt Staff In Adegan Silver with a pack a color discs with Quick Release and a Dominix v5 Diamond.

    Good deal on the Diamond right now, but I just can't bring myself to buy another thing until I at least get a shipping notice on my orders that I placed in May.

    Just had to vent somewhere, and those of you here are less likely to look at me like I need professional help than those in my everyday life.

    So this is my first time ordering custom light sabers for myself and also my friends who put into the order with me. Me and my friends put in the order roughly 9 weeks ago and roughly once a week since week 4 I have emailed, asking about the current Status. I haven't gotten any replies yet and was wondering if there was anything else I can do to find out the status of my order.

    The order is a bit of a large one, as we all went into the order together and are hoping to get them before summers end. The order is for 10 sabers (I'll post sabers at bottom). Would they wait until all the sabers could be shipped at once or would they have them shipped as completed?

    I've been reading this Forum for a while and decided to post and was wondering what you all thought about our current situation or if this is just another case of waiting and hoping for the shipping.

    1x STUNT-AeonLEv3- Consular Green
    1x STUNT-Dark-Sentinelv5- Blazing Red
    3x STUNT-MysteryBox
    1x Empress- Premium Sound,Fire orange, Flash Pyrestone Orange
    1x STUNT-ApprenticeLEv5- Sun Rider's Destiny
    1x STUNT-DarkSentinelLEv5- Sentinel Yellow
    1x Free Initiate
    1x Free MysteryBox

    Good taste for the Empress' configuration =p
    And I'm sure the Dark Sentinel with yellow blade will be awesome!

    No, I think you'll be okay...Nichole didn't say anything to me about a different emitter than what I ordered.

    If I do end up with the standard emitter when I wanted the combat one, I'm not gonna be too happy,  LOL.
    Fingers crossed, but this shipping notice wait is seriously worse than waiting to hear from

    Did you bother to read any posts before you asked this question?

    This is a group of UltraSabers customers and fans, not a way to reach UltraSabers customer service.  Nobody here works for UltraSabers.  We can give advice, but we can’t provide specific information about your order because we don’t have access to any of that information.

    ORDINARILY, you would probably have your sober in your hand already, because their turnaround time was typically 1-2 weeks.  Lots of us old-timers have that as our default experience with UltraSabers.  HOWEVER... in early December of last year, thanks to all the fan excitement surrounding the last Star Wars movie, a new Star Wars TV show that apparently should have been titled “Baby Yoda” instead, the release of a new Star Wars video game, the Christmas gift-giving season, and a winter sales promotion, they began to have so many orders that they fell behind.  In January, there started to be issues with parts and components, because of the COVID-19 issues in China, where some of the electronic parts are manufactured, and they fell a little more behind.  In February, the fallout from COVID-19 started to have effects here in the United States, and some of their more-local parts suppliers fell behind, not just the ones in China.  As time progressed, and as social-distancing measures needed to be put into effect in the workplace (causing more than the usual scheduling issues of getting the right technician, the right saber, the right parts, and the right tools all at the right workstation at the right time, multiplied across the multiple suppliers used), the backlog continued.  On May 25, they lost all their emails prior to that date, and that has caused its own issues.  They have staff working 24x7 trying to catch up from the backlog, and some progress is being made, but they are nowhere near back to normal yet.

    Their overall delivery times have slipped quite a bit; although some folks still get their sabers in a week or two, some sabers take three or four weeks, and some take eight weeks or longer.  Note that the orders are NOT worked in a First-In-First-Out queue order; there are too many dependencies on various parts, technician skill sets, machine/workstation availability, and Lord-only-knows what else for that to be even close to efficient.  There have been entire books— heck, entire college courses,— written on efficient manufacturing-process scheduling, so there’s no way I can give a full explanation here; just know that it’s very complicated.

    The response times on the customer service emails have slipped quite a bit, too.  All I can say is to keep sending POLITE emails to [email protected] with your order number in the subject line, but I wouldn’t send an email every day; that will just clog up the Inbox and make it harder to find the emails that need an answer other than “Yes, we have your order, and it’s in the processing queue, but I can’t tell you when it will ship, because we are waiting on <fill_in_the_blank>.”  There’s nothing wrong with wanting an update, because you have sent them your money; just understand that right now, getting an update, or your saber, is going to take longer than normal, and longer than any of us would like.

    I got a similar Empress and heavily debated going Orange or Red. I personally ended up Red because it was my first saber of any kind (outside of plastic Walmart extendos from 20 years ago!) and I really wanted to embrace the sith feel of the black hilt. FedEX says mine should be delivered tomorrow! With my random free Initiate hopefully!

    As already stated, I don't like the ST. But that hilt... damn. So I went orange. Because yellow seemed too light. But... I'll get a Spectre with yellow. Eventually =p

    So after all the complaining pissing and moaning I did waiting very impatiently for My Sabre to get here all I can say is it was totally worth the wait, this is the most goddamn fun I've had since I was 12 years old. To anyone who is curious I ordered the Dark Initiate LE v5 with the diamond controller and as soon as I figure out how to put a picture on here all upload a few.

    The hilt IS amazing. My personal justification is since it's not 100% screen accurate anyway, I went red. I think the orange looks amazing, and may regret not getting it. But I might also just end up getting a screen accurate orange one later (finger crossed it ends up in Dok Ondar's at some point).

    That's what baffles me. They didn't prepare the new hilts (leia's, last rey's...) to sell them. This is suicide...
    US' empress was the first saber I saw that was based onto it and it looks accurate enough for me so far. I have since seen another one that could power on/off with the rotation switch... Oh well. It will be my first US =D

    So I went ahead and reached back out about my order that was supposed to ship Friday, no notification , so I started worrying. 

    My wonderful CS rep got right back to me, Turns our one of the newly employed shippers didn’t know where the new batch of mystery boxes was, and just set my order back on the shipping shelf. I was assured it is currently being packaged and I should get a shipping notice soon! 

    Now the bad news!  I’m flying to Vegas for a few days on Tuesday, so I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get the delivered notice and then have to wait til I get home to open it.  I’ve already made my daughter aware that if she opens the box before My wife and I get home I will disown her. 🤣

    There could be legal reasons behind making a 100% screen accurate version? I'm not sure. Either way, the inspiration and execution is clear whose is what. And it's an interpretation OF it. Which I'm totally cool with. Will be my first as well. :)

    That's exactly the reason, right there: all this stuff, images and likeness, have been trademarked from Day 1.  Frankly, I'm amazed that this company, or any of the others, can get away with having the likenesses be so close as they are without getting the merchandise rights.

    Disney being Disney, I'm sure they will....last time we were in Disney World was in 2018, and they had a TON of Star Wars merchandise for sale, especially in Downtown Disney, where all the shops are.  I'm sure they'll have Rey's and Leia's lightsabers ready to be sold before long, either the toy versions, or the Force FX versions.  Hell, they've got everybody else's.

    I mean, they very well could have. Shortly before the COVID shutdown, they released Ben Solo's original lightsaber (one I want BADLY!), and could have had more in the pipeline. But also, the official storyline of Galaxy's Edge takes place between TLJ and TROS, so thematically, they likely couldn't carry a real 'Empress' without changing that. However, they absolutely could carry a 'Princess.'

I realize my impatience may be a little unfair to Ultrasabers but as someone who works at a grocery store, these sabers were my treat, my reward  to myself for dealing with all the craziness this pandemic as caused me, long hours, stress to the max, etc.  And now I feel very disappointed  and let down, like I deserve no reward.

    I'm debating over adding the Thundercats saber to my wish list.  Which is already 11, 12 sabers full, LOL.

    What the people in that line of work (and therefore you) went through as everyone lost it in the whole effin world, I have no word for. Except thank you, thank all of you.
    Not that many doomsday crazies in France, still, people went crazy for toilet paper, pasta and rice...
    You deserve a reward. And you will get it. Eventually =/
    The people working on your reward might have to stop for a while. But you will get it.

    I second this.  You're definitely going  to get your order, that much is 100% guaranteed.  They're just having to deal with a lot of outside factors that are way beyond their control.

    I know you might not want to hear it, but you just need to keep being patient, man.   It's hard as hell, I know, but it's the only way.  You'll get your reward, and you've surely earned it.

    At this point I would just like some form of an update, it is going onto week 11 of my order and I have received only an email stating it’d take 1-2 days to look into my order, which was 4 days ago; if there’s something up with the hilt then why don’t they update the site so it says that that basic dominicide hilt is out of order? I’m gonna be moving sometime in August and would love to have it before then.

    I’m in your boat waiting for the black Dominicide. Today marks week 9 exactly for me. I know there’s a few other people waiting for their Dominicide too. According to the customer service rep I spoke to about two weeks back, Ultrasabers receives weekly shipments from the machine shop, so hopefully a fresh batch of Dominicides will come in soon. It really frustrates me that the hilt is still listed as in stock on the website too.

    I personally think they only ever put something out of stock if they are not going to make it anymore.  I bet they believe "In Stock" means we can get it and make it in the standard 4 weeks

    I don't tbink they would have let you drive up to get it anyways.   They're probably not open to the public.

    Trust me, I can relate; a few months ago, I had to wait 2 weeks for UPS to deliver a package to me because it was held up at their distribution center in my state; this was back when everyone was forced to stay home and was shopping online, UPS was overwhelmed.

    So my package was stuck for 2 weeks at a place that is a 25 minute drive from my house.  You can't make this stuff up.

    Hi! this is the first lightsaber that I order, it is a yellow sentinel stunt Initiate LE V5.

    I placed my order on June 8th, I know that most of you have waited for almost 10 weeks or more but I'm very impatient to get my lightsaber. I send and e-mail as politely as possible asking for any notice of my order, but nothing, I think I send it 3 or 4 days ago. I don't mind to wait other 4 weeks but I just want to know it. :c

    I wanted my own lightsaber since the first time a saw a SW movie, and I have save all I can so I can afford to buy one, I'm a Med Student and work as a Nurse on the weekends so... being able to finally buy one lightsaber means a looooooot of sacrifices to me.

    I'm from MTY, MEX btw. :D

    I ordered my first Mystery Box saber on June 9, 2020.  Before even getting it I got hooked and ordered several more.  I am now up to eight sabers on order.  It's been four weeks now and I still haven't received my first mystery box saber yet.  However, I ordered The Emperor's Hand on July 2nd and that was shipped out within a couple days.  Due to Covid I'm sure they are doing the best they can with the limitations.  We all are.  I just wish they would make an update to the website saying that, 'Due to Covid, fabrication times might be delayed'.  But eight sabers ordered, $2000 spent, and only one on it's way so far, and no notifications.  I'm fine with waiting, I just want an update.  But here's the other kicker.  The Emperor's Hand is being sent by USPS.  I opted for the free shipping on most of my sabers, but now I'm wishing I had spent the extra for FedEx.  My saber was being tracked for a couple days.  It's been saying now that it's "In the USPS system and on its way to the destination".  It's been saying that for nearly a week now.  Not Ultrasabers fault.  Totally the post office.  I just wish I could get in touch with Ultrasabers so I could pay the extra for FedEx on the remaining orders.  I also ordered a replacement Emitter and Pommel for one of the Scorpions I ordered just to make it different.  Those are set to arrive tomorrow by FedEx.

    I've ordered:
    Mystery box with sound
    The Fallen - Purple blade
    Spectre - Aqua
    Two Scorpions - Red and Yellow
    Reaper - Red
    Graflex - Blue
    The Emperor's Hand - Green

    First of all....good lord, that's an arsenal and a half.   Yikes.  We're definitely going to want to see pics of that haul.

    As for the shipping, all I can say is to keep trying to get in touch with them; make sure youre using [email protected], include your order number in the subject, and remember to at least be civil.  Not sure if you've seen on here, but they are bombarded with emails lately, and it's very easy, unfortunately, for some tp get lost in the shuffle.   Since you've got a valid concern, I'd say check in maybe once a week or so. 

    There's another email address for them that might or might not be in service,  [email protected], maybe you can try that one. And if you're unable to get the change done, you'll just have to wait it out, but you'll get your order.  Just keep that in mind.

    Took me 7 weeks and a PayPal dispute to get my order shipped. They don’t want to talk to you unless you try to get your money back, then you’re customer of the week, and your order is instantly prioritized.

    Or best case scenario, they miss the PayPal investigation and you get your money back and can go to a more reputable company that will sell you a much nicer product for a better price. Either way it’s an absolute win.

    I dunno, they talked to me just fine; I had a few questions about my order and the longest I had to wait for a reply was 2-3 days.  Quite a few other people here have gotten good results as well, as mentioned in this thread.  I'm not saying they don't have issues that need addressing, and I'm not dismissing your complaint, I'm just playing devil's advocate and pointing out that not everyone has had as bad an experience as you, that's all.  Hope things work out for you in the end.

    This is incredibly rude. Stop dismissing everyone who comes into this thread with legitimate complaints about Ultra Sabers lack of customer service. Their customer service is atrocious and unforgivable. I'm glad that they are talking to you, but they aren't talking to me and weren't talking to Hightower and they really need to be doing a lot more than what they are currently doing.

    Jedi,
    I saw nothing rude in your post either.  I too had excellent service from US other than the long initial response time. But everyone’s experience is different and I’d be pissed as hell if I’d had to wait as long as some people here have had to.  So I’m not dismissing anyone’s gripes, just didn’t see any riudeness in Jedis post.

    Golden ticket?

    So, I opened my email to send US a note asking if switching to a standard emitter on my FALLEN order might expedite things, and there was an email from US stating that my order was complete, and included a USPS tracking number!  The email is only 35 minutes old, so the number isn't active yet, but it's real. 

    I've heard about some generic third party automatic emails, but this doesn't look like that, and my account on the website has even been updated to "completed."

    Trying to not be TOO excited, as this is a secret purchase that was meant to be used with my son's dark initiate LE, purchased two days earlier, about which we have not heard a peep.  ARGH!  Since we're both home all the time, I can only hope to intercept the package and tell him that it's replacement bulbs for the fluorescent lights in the shop.  Talk about bittersweet!

    But hopefully this is good news about Fallen orders in general!

    What was rude? The immediate dismissal of Hightower's complaint and trying to make it about your experience was rude. The trying to walk back the dismissal by saying that you're not actually doing the thing that you're doing was rude. Then you turn around to dismiss Hightower's complaint one last time before ending the post, which is rude. If you feel the need to make such a post where you don't say anything helpful and just cover for Ultrasabers ineptitude, you really should just reconsider.

    I hear the the updates to your account on the website are sporadic.  The Quick disconnect coupler I received two weeks ago is still listed as "processing," and I never got any emails about it.  It seems strange that they would email to ask if you got your sabers... I mean, tracking numbers work both ways.

I'm glad that they are talking to you, but they aren't talking to me and weren't talking to Hightower and they really need to be doing a lot more than what they are currently doing.

    I have to disagree; there was nothing at all rude in Jedi_Phoenix’s post.  YOUR email, however, with its false accusations, is a different story.  Almost everything you said was demonstrably wrong.  Nobody’s legitimate concerns are being dismissed.  Nobody here that I have seen has said that UltraSabers’ current level of customer service responses is where it needs to be.  The only thing you said that was correct is that US needs to be doing even more than they currently are, and I don’t think anyone here would disagree with that.

    You’re upset, and I get that, believe me.  It’s incredibly frustrating to have been sending emails for months without getting a single reply, and then having to start all over again after the email debacle on May 25; I know this from personal experience, so I’m not just mouthing platitudes.  Coming here and venting is one thing, but coming here and accusing fellow forum members of being rude when nothing of the sort is occurring?  Nope.  Just nope.  That’s not right, and I’m not going to sit here and say nothing about it.  If you want to say that UltraSabers isn’t living up to your expectations, FINE!  You have every right to say that, and I think most folks here would think that disappointment to be justified.  But you don’t get to take out your frustration on other forum members by making false accusations; that’s just not cool.

Come on this board to vent frustration positively cool to do. but and i have to defend Jedi Phoenix has he posted some strong words as he awaits his order ..YES , has he attacked anyone no ... I humbly request that you retract the accusation and complain all you want but dont target members no one here is at fault nor employed by US. Sure there are alot of saber makers out there. each with their own approach and choice of components and prices go from cheap to out right insane. the consumer has the right to spend there money as they see fit.. Simple Buy from US or dont. I have seen comments here i have not liked but i just shrug and read next post. Stay safe.. stay respectful

    Well, I actually managed to get in communication with someone via email. They told me that the lightsaber I ordered is out of stock (although it does NOT say this on the website) and that it will take another 3-4 weeks for shipping to occur. This will put my total wait time at 8-9 weeks not including shipping.

    They did offer me a replacement saber but I turned it down because I really like the one I ordered and just want them to fulfill it. Oh well, back to the waiting game.

    still waiting on my 5/17 order... probably due for another "hi, any updates?" email to toss over the fence.  I'm guessing it's the Yari Pike that's holding things back... can't imagine a MB being the problem.

    For an order going that far back, yeah, I'd definitely give it a shot.  Let us know how you make out.

    Still waiting my my black empress diamond and my wifes diamond grand Master since May 5th. I did get an email the other day saying they needed 24 to 48 hours to see whats going on and today is day 4 and no reply. I'd love an update though. *sigh*  It's good seeing people getting replys and their golden tickets though. Give my wife and i some hope lol.

    It might be the MB, I ordered one a couple days after that, haven't heard anything. Sent three short emails, but radio silence.

    First of all....good lord, that's an arsenal and a half.   Yikes.  We're definitely going to want to see pics of that haul.

    As for the shipping, all I can say is to keep trying to get in touch with them; make sure youre using [email protected], include your order number in the subject, and remember to at least be civil.  Not sure if you've seen on here, but they are bombarded with emails lately, and it's very easy, unfortunately, for some tp get lost in the shuffle.   Since you've got a valid concern, I'd say check in maybe once a week or so. 

    There's another email address for them that might or might not be in service,  [email protected], maybe you can try that one. And if you're unable to get the change done, you'll just have to wait it out, but you'll get your order.  Just keep that in mind.

    I'm going to make unboxing videos and put them on youtube.  I've definitely gone overboard with that because I've created a title sequence, music, and everything.  If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing! LOL!

    I’m doing the same to help alleviate the pain of waiting.

    I’m creating a new YouTube channel and gonna try to spice up my videos a bit. I’ve been scouring the web for cool graphics and Star Wars sound bites.

    I plan on the typical unboxing and review of my US sabers and my other guys, as well as Star Wars cosplay, Galaxy’s Edge at Disney and anything else Star Wars related.

    Now that I’ve gotten my shipping notice it’s time to start busting my ass on getting this channel up and running

    I wouldn’t be getting worried, because they are definitely shipping things. 

    When you say “no reply since week 8,”  how many emails have you sent since that last reply?  What was the content of the last reply?  If they said in their last reply that they’re waiting on something, and you haven’t sent an email in the last 2 weeks, and they said it’d be 2 weeks or less, then yeah, send another polite email.  If, on the other hand, 4 of the 5 emails have been in the past 2 weeks, then please wait. If the last reply said they’d reply to you in 3-4 days, or something like that, then yeah, it might be time for another polite email.

    Basically, we hope you don’t inundate them with emails if they can’t give you a meaningful reply, but we also don’t want you to sit and fume and never ask a question when there IS something they could tell you that could either speed things up if you change something, or that could put your mind at ease (at least a little bit) if they could give a status update.  It’s a delicate balance.

    But no, I wouldn’t worry; your saber WILL come.

    My Empress was scheduled for delivery tomorrow, but was just updated to Tuesday.  :'( :'( :'(

    It's sitting about an hour and a half from me.  :-\
    Well I guess that's what I get for hawk-watching my tracking number.... after last night's shift to Tuesday, it was changed again to "out for delivery" today. Arrived not too long ago and WOW. As a first time buyer I am super impressed. Will try to squeeze in a video or something at some point, but greatly impressed. I think what I love the most is the Violet Amethyst Flash on Clash. Because the cool violet color is such a harsh contrast to the warm red, it creates a really jarring (but sweet) visual effect. I was hoping it would create a similar effect as when Kylo and Rey clash at the end of Force Awakens, and it DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!

    On top of loving my order, the free Initiate I got couldn't have been more perfect. I was hoping for as much of an "opposite" as possible, to juxtapose against my "sithy" Empress. And the silver hilt, blue blade, ultraedge blade does exactly that. Very happy!!

    No youtube channel for me yet; with my luck one of the kids would find my unboxing video.  So i'm gonna upload it to my Vimeo account and post the link here.  Already gave my mother the heads up, she's like, "Uh-huh, okay.  Looks like you found a hobby."

    Might do a second video as well, just summarizing my overall experience for anyone interested.   And maybe after the holidays and the cat's out of the bag, THEN I'll start my own channel.   Give me something to do when the free time comes around.

    Ordered May 7th. I have received 2 replies from US about my order of Fallen and Apprentice LEV5.
    Here's how it has gone so far...

    Order May 7th.
    **First email inquiry June 25th.
    **First reply June 29th. Brent: Sorry about the delay, give me 1-2 days to look it up....
    **July 2nd, follow up email sent after Brent does not reply in the time HE stated.
    **July 6th - Brent replies on monday:
    "I apologize for the massive inconvenience with your order. It appears as though we’ve ran into a temporary stock issue with your order however we are scheduled to receive a new batch of hilt later this week. Please allow me a few days to identify which hilts are coming in so I can try to get your order shipped ASAP, and again I apologize for the delay with getting your order shipped."
    So now its let me see if I can get info for you about your hilt this week.
    Whatever. They don't know what they have? Makes zero sense, but hey, times are weird, right?
    **Monday July 13 still no reply. I have sent another email asking for an answer or I will reverse charges and cancel the order.

    Here is my beef:
    I have seen more updates from other customers on this board than I have seen directly from US. I am seeing people on here with Fallen orders placed WEEKS after mine that are getting their sabers delivered. How am I supposed to feel good about this? What the unprofessional heck is going on at US?

    I've sent four emails, two weeks apart, that each asked for status update, and if they receive the pertinent info they asked me for, and haven't heard back once.

    It's especially frustrating because I do customer service and marketing for a living, and I responded to 200 customers today alone, and my team as a whole sent out about 1700 emails, and it's our busiest time of the year. The oldest email we have on file right now is from Friday. Just completely lacking in any urgency or prioritizing at all.

    I guess good luck, juju, whatever, is still on my side...FedEx has drop-off locations where you can redirect your package if there's an issue with it being delivered to your house.  Closest one is about a 10 minute drive from me.  Once I get the alert that it's been delivered,  I can just go sign for it, pick it up, and drop it right off at my parents.   The kids will never know.  *whew!*

    Honestly, most of the ones I've seen are just random of all the different initiate variations. I've only seen a couple v2s. Im sure it just depends on stock. I was wondering the same though.

    I ordered 2 mystery boxes with sound on May 4th.  They were finished and shipped July 7th, and I finally got them today.

    I did not get my free shirt though :(.

    If you're curious, both sound boards were obsidian, no flash on clash.  I got an Aeon v3 w/red light, and a Dominix v4 with orange light.  One of my blade tips was not glued in very well and is almost hanging out.  Not expecting support to do anything though, since none of my emails have been answered by them.

    Thanks.  That's what I was hoping to hear.  The randomness makes the wait more exciting.  I've also got a grab bag coming with my order so two randoms.

    I just can't decide whether to order the other blade I want now (with 15% off) or wait and see if another sale gives me something better (discount with lower threshold for a free blade).  the config I'm looking at is around $380 so too low for good freebies in this sale, but a decent chunk of change off.

    Hey, quick question - my saber came with a leaflet saying if you leave a positive review on these forums you can get extra reward points. Does that mean just posting a review thread (which I've done) or is there a "Rate Ultrasabers" 1-5 star section? If so, whereabouts is it? If it's just posting a thread, how do US know I've done it?

    To me, freebies are nice (got 4 of them coming, very excited) but a decent chunk off is always good.  Just keep all the factors going on in mind when you make your decision, and if you pull the trigger on it, just make sure you can afford to spend whatever you spend.

    So from the few replies I have received theyre blaming untimely orders on social distancing and the lack of staff because of the virus, and wait time for parts they need for fabrication. Some hilts(though unstated) are actually out of stock. Now they are receiving weekly shipments or hilts but not in as high quantity as normal. On that end, just be patient a little while longer. Your saber will ship. I ordered in early may and just got my notification yesterday of shipping and I live like 20-30 minutes from their shop. Lol they will come. As for customer service? I dont know what their deal is but it is very hit and miss. Sometimes its stellar, sometimes its radio silence. Whatever the cause i hope it is resolved soon. Also, i had to email like 14 times. Lol. So just keep the faith and as always may the force be with you.

    Also I like very much the respect and joy which are shared here - feels good, so thank you for that!
    And for now I want to order at least one more saber as a present and one for me ... the struggle is real! :D

    As for me I sent the third mail today (of cource in a polite way and it's always one week between them) and I'm still hoping that my order can be switched before sending it out the wrong way. But I guess we will see!

    Post by: Kyson on July 14, 2020, 04:45:49 PM
    So i am doing my best to be calm patient and polite about waiting for my order as this is a rather rough year to put it mildly but after 3 months (order places may the fourth) I expected something, no changed to my order at all just listed as “processing”. I got an email a few weeks back asking if i had received my order while it is still just “processing” when I check the order on my account and no emails I have sent have gotten any sort of response from them.
    Anyone else having this issue? If its more than just me I understand it more as again its a rough year but it is still just a little difficult waiting so long while feeling a little ignored

    That was a 3rd party email you received from the company that does the customer review surveys, unfortunately; a lot of people have gotten that, usually around the 4th week since US is giving an estimated processing time of 3-4 weeks.  Sometimes they can hold to that, depending on very specific circumstances, but lately it's been an average of 6-8 weeks for everyone, some people are going beyond that.  It's frustrating, yes, but unfortunately it seems to be a Sign O' The Times.

    They are getting orders out, though; if you look around this particular thread, you'll see that.  Everyone just has to play the waiting game, but when your order is ready to ship out, US will send out the tracking information themselves.

    Three weeks today for my second order.  I figure I've got another 3 weeks to go, unless I end up pleasantly surprised.   After that, I'll start some inquiries to see what's up.

    First order is officially on the move: it left the FedEx station in Houston at 12:47 this morning, arrived at the station in Cypress, TX at 4:08 this morning and left there a little after 12 noon.  So exciting....

    Once a week sounds about right.  My advice would be to put " ORDER #XXXXXX ADJUSTMENT REQUEST" or something as your subject. 

    And yeah, the excitement is palpable, isn't it?   ;D

    To put the order into the subject just makes so much sense and I read a some times now but didn't come that idea myself so I'm gonna change that for the next round.
    It's so obvious but well I didn't think of it ...

    Yes it is! And I love it :D

    but it sounds like i have no option?? I'm I'm scared to ask if i can keep it the other one in fear it'll take aNOTHER week for a response telling me "no" lol...

    I'm annoyed.. but at least my other lightsaber from ANOTHER PLACE COUGH came in and is keeping me distracted. i love it. but i wanted this one.

    And this is what is worrying me/pissing me off. I am 2 and half weeks behind you on the standard dark version of this staff hilt.

    At this point, I will accept losing 20% of both of my purchases. This lack of communication is totally unacceptable and I am about done. I think it is time to dispute with Paypal.

    I was so excited last week when I got an email response a day after emailing them about my order (placed May 5th, not a word since). He asked that I give him 1-2 business days to look into it...here we are 4 business days later, nothing. I shot an email yesterday asking for any info, still nothing. I was thinking of snagging a couple other sabers, but now I think I may just take my business elsewhere (I'm not cancelling, I really like the saber I ordered and I'm looking forward to having it in my hands) going forward.

    If they want any hope of getting caught up and reversing this landslide of bad vibes, the next promo with be NOTHING for at least a month or 2.
    But most likely 1 of 2 things are going to happen:
    A) They'll just extend the Summer Soundwave sale or
    B) They'll follow up with an immediate new promo, likely that Summer Raffle

    Probably another promo.  I agree, they shouldn't.   They should focus on getting caught up.  It would restore a little bit of the good will, for one thing.

    I remember reading earlier here that most of their promos are planned months in advance (including paying for ads and other marketing things that are paid upfront), so they likely lock(ed) themselves in. 

    But yeah, fingers crossed they don't have another one planned. I would hopefully like my Pre-ordered Princess before Christmas.  :D

    Which is fine except this particular backlog started MONTHS ago.
    And most of their promos are copy/pastes from prior years, so it isn't like they'd have needed to invest much each time after the first.
    Even if they'd lose the marketing/advertising money spent by canceling a promo, it would go a long way to helping to restore good will of the customers that are already waiting.

    I guess we'll find out on Saturday

    This is a group of UltraSabers customers and fans, not a way to reach UltraSabers customer service.  Nobody here works for UltraSabers.  We can give advice, but we can’t provide specific information about your order because we don’t have access to any of that information.

    ORDINARILY, you would probably have your saber in your hand already, because their turnaround time was typically 1-2 weeks.  Lots of us old-timers have that as our default experience with UltraSabers.  HOWEVER... in early December of last year, thanks to all the fan excitement surrounding the last Star Wars movie, a new Star Wars TV show that apparently should have been titled “Baby Yoda” instead, the release of a new Star Wars video game, the Christmas gift-giving season, and a winter sales promotion, they began to have so many orders that they fell behind.  In January, there started to be issues with parts and components, because of the COVID-19 issues in China, where some of the electronic parts are manufactured, and they fell a little more behind.  In February, the fallout from COVID-19 started to have effects here in the United States, and some of their more-local parts suppliers fell behind, not just the ones in China.  As time progressed, and as social-distancing measures needed to be put into effect in the workplace (causing more than the usual scheduling issues of getting the right technician, the right saber, the right parts, and the right tools all at the right workstation at the right time, multiplied across the multiple suppliers used), the backlog continued.  On May 25, they lost all their emails prior to that date, and that has caused its own issues.  They have staff working 24x7 trying to catch up from the backlog, and some progress is being made, but they are nowhere near back to normal yet.

    Their overall delivery times have slipped quite a bit; although some folks still get their sabers in a week or two, some sabers take three or four weeks, and some take eight weeks or longer.  Note that the orders are NOT worked in a First-In-First-Out queue order; there are too many dependencies on various parts, technician skill sets, machine/workstation availability, and Lord-only-knows what else for that to be even close to efficient.  There have been entire books— heck, entire college courses— written on efficient manufacturing-process scheduling, so there’s no way I can give a full explanation here; just know that it’s very complicated.

    The response times on the customer service emails have slipped quite a bit, too.  All I can say is to keep sending POLITE emails to [email protected] with your order number in the subject line, but I wouldn’t send an email every day; that will just clog up the Inbox and make it harder to find the emails that need an answer other than “Yes, we have your order, and it’s in the processing queue, but I can’t tell you when it will ship, because we are waiting on <fill_in_the_blank>.”  There’s nothing wrong with wanting an update, because you have sent them your money; just understand that right now, getting an update, or your saber, is going to take longer than normal, and longer than any of us would like.

    My last order only took two weeks so with this one being 2 months i thought it was just because i ordered a custom saber. I've emailed US but i've yet to hear back i did receive an email from shopperapproved asking if i received my order but on my account it still says processing, email siad i should contact US after 48hrs but seems they are just overwhelmed atm. I hope i get my sabers soon im still so excited i need something to perk me up after these last couple of months.

    I'm not quite sure that they're as locked in as people think - my work in ecommerce has us running Google Adsense stuff and Facebook, very similar to US, and you can adjust the spend on that stuff on a week-to-week, if not daily basis.

They said it would be another 8 to 10 weeks. Or having options of changing what hilts we ordered. At least I know what going on with my order. I think my wife is more angry then me.

    They offered a different color grandmaster. That one is the wifes so it will be up to her. For my empress they offered a similar priced hilt. I wouldn't know which would be considered similar because that one is kinda in-between the more expensive and the less. I think thats there only one that is the same price, but I could be wrong. And not going to lie I am almost thinking about just waiting. I mean its already been 10 weeks. I'm just happy to have gotten the answer that I was already expecting. I dont feel forgotten anymore lol.

    Thanks. Having numbers from a more experienced member is helpful. Even if just an opinion or guess.


    I'd ordered a Stunt Mystery Box on May 17th. Plus a Grab Bag blade to reach free shipping. Just over 8 weeks ago. I've been wanting to build one out, but figured getting my hands on a cheap one physically would help me imagine what I do want in a built saber.

    I check back here on this thread every couple of weeks to see where other people are at.

    Thanks. Having numbers from a more experienced member is helpful. Even if just an opinion or guess.

    Don't be surprised if it takes at least another week or two for those; from what I've read, they had a whole stockpile of mystery boxes and grab bags that they could just grab from and ship out, back when it only took them a few days to crank out the orders.  Ever since Rise of Skywalker, and with all the promos, those have been in such demand that they've gone through the stockpile, and are having to resort to crafting what they can when they can.  Part of this is just speculation, I have no inside information.

    You'll get them, and the actual shipping seems to be pretty fast; I didn't even opt for the 2 day shipping from FedEx, but my order left their shop yesterday and will be here tomorrow.

    NOOOOOOOOOO
    Sad sith noises
    So on week 10 I finally found out that both sabers my wife and I ordered are out of stock. One being the black grandmaster and the other black empress both with diamond controllers. They said it would be another 8 to 10 weeks. Or having options of changing what hilts we ordered. At least I know what going on with my order. I think my wife is more angry then me.

    I'm guessing that's probably the case with mine as well, but I don't know because the CS Agent hasn't gotten back to me after he initially responded a week ago. Oddly enough, I emailed one of the competitors today with a general shipping question, and I had a response that actually answered my question within 4 minutes. I'll be placing an order for a couple of sabers later today from that company.

    I'll freely admit, having someone say they'll get back to you in a day or two and then go a week without any further word is worse than having your email get lost in the shuffle with no response at all.  Even if he has no news, he should still send you something like, "Hang in there, I'm still looking into it, I haven't forgotten about you."

    Ordered tonight from a competitor, got order confirmation and a notice that it is already being prepared to ship, estimated arrival time of 3-5 days. Granted, I know it's not made from scratch more or less like US sabers, but the fact that I should be getting a saber I ordered tonight before the one I ordered on May 5th is a bit aggravating .

    As much as I'm all for being patient, if I was looking at a wait time that long, I'd probably throw in the towel and try to opt for a different hilt.   But, then again, things happen.   Who knows?

    I'm not sure if I would or not. The hilt I ordered is exactly the one that I want, not sure if I'd be happy with any other. But I've got 2 sabers (I got a 2 for 1 deal elsewhere) on the way. Gonna do some dueling with my nephew in the coming weeks. He's been depressed because of some stuff that's been going on in his personal life and the idea of doing some dueling is the only thing that's gotten him excited in months. And since the saber I ordered from here is mostly for costuming purposes, I can wait. Still annoyed by the complete lack of customer service here, but I don't really want any other hilt.

    After 10 weeks to then be told that it would be another 8 weeks would be too much for me.

    I was told after 5 weeks that my Fallen would be another 3-4 and even that was on the edge for me.... I can't imagine waiting 18 weeks for a saber that is listed as "In Stock"

    I hope so too; I'm already so into this hobby (frankly, I'm in need of a good hobby to get into) and there are a lot more products I'd like to get from ultrasabers.   It would be great if this was just a bad bump in the road.

    Oh, trust me, even though there are specific ones I want for a collection, these are not going to be hung on a wall.  My kids and I will be giving these things a proper workout.

    One thing I'd love to do is to buy a few of the lower cost, "plain looking" stunt sabers, and have my youngest son's cousin and best friend over to decorate and customize the hilts as a fun project, and then they can keep the sabers for themselves.  I'd try my hand at that as well.

    SO I had to change my 5/2 order since I was told that the Dominicide hilt would be another 10-12 weeks to get it in stock, so I lose a double blade but hopefully gain one of Revans hilts.
     Crimson Savior

    Choose Your Configuration: Lite Sound
    Choose the color of your blade!: Blazing Red
    Flash on Clash: No Flash
    Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration: Standard Setup
    Crimson Savior Emitter: With Windows
    Blade Length: 36" Standard Size
    Blade Option: UltraEdge Heavy Grade
    Switch Type: Red Illuminated Black AV Switch
    Obsidian Lite Sound: Obsidian Lite Soundboard
    Quick Disconnect: Nope.
    Choose Blade Tip Type: Round Tip
    Blade Retention Screw Wrench: Sure!
    Include Saber Stand: No Thanks
    Include Covertec Clip: No Thanks
    Which is such a shame as I was really hoping that I could get a dominicide but considering that I am moving within 2 weeks when I thought it was 9 weeks, I don't have many options.

    9 weeks and still nothing. What really gets me mad is that out of stock hilts are  still listed as being in stock and now I am reading that people who ordered after me are getting notifications that their fallen hilts are being sent? Am I reading this correctly? Because if that is the case I am done with this company.

    My wife and i decided to see if either of the other hilts we liked were in stock and would okay to change too them. She liked the dark savior and I like the emperors hand. We figured we could always order the other ones that are out of stock now later when things get better.

    Hope it works out for you bud! Im still waiting to hear back on my order from may 14th i ordered a DarkApprenticeLEv5 with sound i wanted to go with a better hilt but i live in UK so P&P for a saber more expensive then the hilt itself lol.
    I Ordered 2 MB's and loved them but that itch to get one with sound was to big to ignore so i ordered it like a week after i got my other 2 :P

    Some people who ordered the Fallen hilts with combat emitters are getting them sent with the standard emitter instead as a compromise.  Apparently the website should be showing both options and it's only showing the combat emitter - that's another case of the website not being updated correctly, more an IT issue than customer service.   As for me, honestly, the only reason I'm getting the one i want is because I was at the right place at the right time; someone who had ordered the black hilt swapped it for another color, and the rep who was helping me out was able to snag it before someone else did. Simply put, I got lucky.

    I know....it's frustrating.   I would email them about switching emitters, though, and see what happens.

    I am 9 weeks into this process and not actual reply or confirmation for my order whatsoever. I have tried to be patient, but at this point I'm just frustrated and want my saber or money back.

    Anyone have advice on what my next move should be? I need some help.

    I'm assuming you had ordered the black version....that's the model that they run out of frequently and are waiting on more shipments of.  If you're not adamant on the color, you could email them ("ORDER #XXXXXX MODIFICATION REQUEST") and ask for maybe the crimson or azure models.  Or, ask about the emitter itself.  Maybe going with the standard emitter instead of the combat one is an option; a few people here have had luck with that.

    I know email replies are hit and miss,, but my point is, you're not entirely out of options yet.  Let us know how you make out.

    Update to the quote below...I heard back from Brent just now. He apologized for the delay in replying and said the order should be ready to ship in the next 1-2 biz days. Thank you Brent for the new hope....(i had to make the worst joke ever, sorry).


    Ordered May 7th. I have received 2 replies from US about my order of Fallen and Apprentice LEV5.
    Here's how it has gone so far...

    Order May 7th.
    **First email inquiry June 25th.
    **First reply June 29th. Brent: Sorry about the delay, give me 1-2 days to look it up....
    **July 2nd, follow up email sent after Brent does not reply in the time HE stated.
    **July 6th - Brent replies on monday:
    "I apologize for the massive inconvenience with your order. It appears as though we’ve ran into a temporary stock issue with your order however we are scheduled to receive a new batch of hilt later this week. Please allow me a few days to identify which hilts are coming in so I can try to get your order shipped ASAP, and again I apologize for the delay with getting your order shipped."
    So now its let me see if I can get info for you about your hilt this week.
    Whatever. They don't know what they have? Makes zero sense, but hey, times are weird, right?
    **Monday July 13 still no reply. I have sent another email asking for an answer or I will reverse charges and cancel the order.

    Here is my beef:
    I have seen more updates from other customers on this board than I have seen directly from US. I am seeing people on here with Fallen orders placed WEEKS after mine that are getting their sabers delivered. How am I supposed to feel good about this? What the unprofessional heck is going on at US?

    Great news.  One thing I'll say in Ultrasabers' favor, when they say "it should be ready to ship in 1-2 business days", they are following through on that, pretty much without fail.

    Sorry to say, but that might be the 3rd party email some people get; it's from the company that tallies up the customer reviews.  It might mean that your order is close to being done, though.   I don't know for sure.

    Has anyone received any Apprentices or Initiates lately? I’m just over 11 weeks on my 4/26 order of a Dark Apprentice V4 and a Dark Initiate LE V4. One of which is for a friends birthday which has unfortunately come and gone now so I’m waiting to give it to him as a bit of a belated present, but I haven’t seen too much talk of those sabers on here lately so I’m just curious if anyone has had any success with those lately. I haven’t had a reply from US for 6 weeks now and am starting to get a little frustrated. I understand the situation with COVID complications and the backorders and such so I’m trying to avoid over-communicating or being too harsh. So just wondering if anyone has had any communication about those hilts lately?

    After 11 weeks, I think sending a weekly email to try and find out is reasonable and not over-communicating.  Just remember your order number in the subject, keep it civil, and see what happens.   Keep us updated.

    Yeah I’ve been sending a weekly email for the last few weeks and haven’t received any response. I always put the order number and date of the order in the subject line. Got a response at week 5 but it was pretty much just a templated default response, not complaining about it but it probably means that they didn’t look too specifically into my order at that time and I haven’t gotten anything since. Really trying to be patient and civil, as I had an order in February that was handled really well and I was very grateful. But at 11 weeks with little response it’s getting more and more difficult I must say.

    Yeah I’ve been sending a weekly email for the last few weeks and haven’t received any response. I always put the order number and date of the order in the subject line. Got a response at week 5 but it was pretty much just a templated default response, not complaining about it but it probably means that they didn’t look too specifically into my order at that time and I haven’t gotten anything since. Really trying to be patient and civil, as I had an order in February that was handled really well and I was very grateful. But at 11 weeks with little response it’s getting more and more difficult I must say.

    Oh, I can imagine it's getting difficult.   My guess - and please, this is pure speculation - is that a lot of the initiates and apprentice hilts were used in the grab bag and mystery box giveaways and that they've run out, or at least running very low, and are trying to keep up with the demand.  Hope your luck changes soon, friend.

    I had the same thought actually, I could definitely see that being the case. Most MB’s I saw were in the Apprentice/Initiate range. Just some communication on that would be appreciated is all. Approaching 3 months is tough.

    I think someone else had ordered the Grand Master & Lost Grey as well, and have run into the shortage problem. 

    I know...it would be better hearing it from them and not here, but that's my guess as to what the issue is.

    I'm glad that you guys got yours, I'm still waiting for some word from Ultrasabers about my order. I was promised some information in "1 to 2 business days." 8 days ago, and no response to a follow up email I sent Monday.

    11 weeks and my patience is beginning to run out.

    Just a quick preview. The box has been opened and my baby’s have arrived. More in detail pics and videos coming this weekend.

    I had to take my fallen outside to spin it a little and it is surprisingly light for such a massive hilt.

    I love my first US purchase !

    I'm gonna say hang in there, because that's the kind of guy that I am, but if you haven't heard from that rep who was supposed to get back to you and hasn't yet by Monday, send him another email and ask what's going on.  Getting lost in the shuffle of a gajillion emails is one thing, but that's a different story.

    I'm waiting for my Butcher and Grand Master staff. It's been a bit over 7 weeks and I'm getting a bit concerned. The order still shows as pending, and I haven't been able to get a response from emails. I have ordered sabers previously and never had any problems. I'm eager to see them and really hope they show up soon.

    If you ordered a black grandmaster it might be out of stock. I can't tell you for sure but my wife wanted that one and after waiting 10 weeks we were told that it would be another 8 to 10 week wait. Though they gave us some options.

    I'm jealous of people who ordered after me getting their sabers before me. Actually I'm kinda jealous of the people who can actually get in contact with US. I ordered on 4/15 sending weekly emails since 6/5 and nothing but promotional emails and the automated email asking if I have received my order (that was a month ago). I'm getting really frustrated.

    Oh, I know it's hard to wait; I've got a second order for a single lightsaber that I'm anxious about.  You'll get your order, though.   Refresh our memory; what did you order and when?

    Dark Apprentice LE v5

    [Choose Your Configuration: Lite Sound]
    [Choose the color of your blade!: Blazing Red]
    [Flash on Clash: No Flash]
    [Obsidian Lite Battery Configuration: Standard Setup]
    [Blade Option: UltraEdge Midgrade]
    [Blade Size: Standard 32" Blade]
    [Obsidian Lite Sound: Obsidian Lite Soundboard]
    [Pommel: Regular Vented Pommel (hole in bottom) [Recommended]]
    [Switch Type: Red Illuminated Black AV Switch]
    [Choose Blade Tip Type: Round Tip]

    and a MB ordered on May 14th would have like to go for a better Hilt but the P&P and import tax costs a fair bit being in UK.
    Im stoked though i got 2 MB's for my 1st order and i loved them but the lure of a sound saber was to great :P

    LOL...gotta dig that funky sound whenever possible, right?

    The V5s are nice, I like the black and chrome look; I've got the larger version of that, the Dark Sentinel, on my wish list.  And the red illuminated switch will go well with the red blade.  Nice choice.  You've probably run into the "material shortage" delay, either with the Apprentice hilt or the mystery box, but it'll get there.  If you haven't sent any emails checking on the order, though, I think you've waited a reasonable amount of time to start a weekly inquiry.

    Thanks :) Yeah went for a nice black and red theme with the saber, I have sent one email this week with no response as of yet i'll prob give it another week before i bother them again, i know they prob will have loads incoming and i doubt it will make my order go any faster if its down to the lack of parts.

    I'm guessing it's a stunt saber and not sound.   If it is a sound saber, you better lock your door, cause they'll be coming at you with torches and pitchforks, LOL.

    Either way, you got a steal of a deal with that one.

    So how hard is it to add sound or mod one of these hilts yourself?

    Just received an update on the sabers I ordered the first of may. Looks like its now a 4-5 week wait for the Fallen Black, The Empress Black, and the Graflex SE.  Here are the options that was given to me.

    Fallen alternate options:

    1. We can change the hilt to an Azure Fallen (Blue) or the Crimson Fallen (Red) with all other options on your order the same and get this order fabricated and shipped out for you ASAP.
    2. We can hold your order with no changes and get this shipped out to you when we have the Fallen hilts back in stock in 4 - 5 weeks.
     

    Empress alternate options:

    1. We can change the hilt to an Azure Empress (Blue) or the Crimson Empress (Red) with all other options on your order the same and get this order fabricated and shipped out for you ASAP.
    2. We can hold your order with no changes and get this shipped out to you when we have the Empress hilts back in stock in 4 - 5 weeks.
     

    Graflex SE alternate options:

    1. We can change the hilt to an Dark Graflex (with all other options on your order the same) and get this order fabricated and shipped out for you ASAP.
    2. We can hold your order with no changes and get this shipped out to you when we have the Graflex SE hilts back in stock in 4 - 5 weeks.

    I hope this helps.

    I opted to change mine for Azure Fallen. I waited a little over 8 weeks. Once I changed it shipped in two days. I will be getting it by 430pm today. It is currently 12:00pm. My patience has abandoned me. Walls are thin, halls seem long. There is no hope, only an empty doorstep. I fear I may not survive the temptation. The dark side of the force calls to me.

    Mine was delivered when I was halfway across the country. I kept pulling up the security camera footage of my living room to look at the box.  I understand your pain!

    Well after 9 weeks and two days on my Dominicide order, I finally got something from CS. I don't plan on changing this order as I have known they were out of stock.

    My problem is this email neglects to tell me what is going on with the Phantom Initiate V4 I ordered 11 weeks ago today. I rather have information on that hilt because I have seen people getting Initiate V4s as grab bags and mystery boxes.

    "We have been experiencing a higher than expected order volume and ran into a temporary stock issue on the Dominicide hilts but we expect to have them available soon. In an effort to avoid further delay, you can change to a similar hilt and get this order fabricated right away. Please let me know if this option works for you and we can get that taken of for you."

    I opted to change mine for Azure Fallen. I waited a little over 8 weeks. Once I changed it shipped in two days. I will be getting it by 430pm today. It is currently 12:00pm. My patience has abandoned me. Walls are thin, halls seem long. There is no hope, only an empty doorstep. I fear I may not survive the temptation. The dark side of the force calls to me. Please send help

    Nonsense, you do not need any help. Embrace the power of the dark side and take your rightful place among the Sith.


    I finally heard back from a CSA today, he again apologized for the delay in my order and said that they are having a temporary stock shortage with my hilt (which is what I had figured once everyone else on here was being told. He said that they are getting smaller shipments in weekly and that he'll get back to me on Weds when they get their next shipment in.

    Not what I was hoping to hear, but not unexpected.

    I guess the two sabers that I'll be getting Monday from elsewhere will have to suffice in the meantime

    I have a feeling I'm going to run into the same problem with the Dominix I'm waiting on; shortage of hilt/parts.  As much as I'd love to know, I'm only at 3 and a half weeks, so I'm trying to ignore my impulses and not send off an email yet. But man, it's hard, LOL.

    Yeah, I hope not. It kind of sucks. I ordered a Dark Sentinel LE V5 for my Sith cosplay. Chose that one because it is more or less exactly what I had designed (aside from a few minor details) when I was creating the character. I hope that the wait isn't too long or that they make me change it...if that's the case I'll just cancel outright. Not really interested in any other hilt.

    Graflex SE alternate options:

    1. We can change the hilt to an Dark Graflex (with all other options on your order the same) and get this order fabricated and shipped out for you ASAP.
    2. We can hold your order with no changes and get this shipped out to you when we have the Graflex SE hilts back in stock in 4 - 5 weeks.

    Thanks for sharing this! I also ordered a Graflex SE (together with other sabers) and this is the one which I made a mistake in the initial order. But if it takes so long until the hilts are back in stock maybe it can be changed for good.

    Laura send me an e-mail this morning, she apologized for the delay, and told me that they have experienced a much higher than expected volume of orders and fell slightly behind on the 4 week lead time on the website.

    I feel waaaaay better knowing that they are working 24/7 so they can ship every order (she wrote that too) so, well maybe I'll have to wait a little longer but now the wait will be much easier.

    So I was looking around the saber swinging community and recently saw that one of the Other Guys banned people from complaining about wait times. That's one pretty big positive about ultrasabers is they're not pulling crap like that and let people give their honest opinion on things like this. Just wanted to add a little bit in to hopefully make it a little more positive here since everyone (and myself) is worrying about their orders.

    Keep in mind (if it helps those waiting for hilts they see other people get first) that Grab Bags can have cosmetic flaws on the hilt...

    And I guess we aren't surprised about the new raffle...

    So I have an order that just qualifies for the Raffle and is actually something that I want, but since there has been no movement or information regarding my prior orders from May 11th and May 16th, I cannot bring myself to spend any more money.

    Everytime I check the website and find my orders are still "Processing" I play around and make up other Sabers that I would love to get.

    I think my next one has been narrowed down to a Dark Sentinel V4 Staff with a Quick Release Coupler and Blades of Adegan Silver, with a Yari Extension. One hilt full LE and windows, other completely basic. Plotting to make it a sort of 'Sleeper' staff with the plain hilt looking like it is just the butt of a spear. (I don't have any illusions that this is a new concept, but in theroy, in my head it seems cool)

    Well, that is my musing for now. I hope that the rest of you are receiving either proper information or golden tickets.

    I saw this myself...it's actually  - and let me see if I can explain the story in a little more detail without violating any of this group's rules - a Facebook page for custom sabers in general that's run by the owner of one of the "other guys."  The rule states that the group is only for saber discussion and sharing pics and whatnot, and no unrelated posts (memes and the like) will be tolerated.  Which, by itself is fine, and makes some sense when you think about it, but the rule actually singles out "commiserating about wait times."

    What?  Seriously?  You can talk about your custom saber but you can't talk about how long you waited for it?

    Boy, if this place had that rule, we'd  ALL be screwed, LOL....

    I'll admit, I had a bit of a chuckle at them falling "slightly behind,"  but yeah, I agree, it is good to know they're working 24/7 to try and get the processing back on track.  Texas has been all but nuked by Covid-19, it's got to be stressful as hell down there these days.

    Depending on the flaw, it could add a bit of character to the hilt.  After all, the original trilogy was supposed to have the theme of a "used universe".

    And yeah....not surprised about the new promo.  No more lightsaber orders for me, though,  at least for now.  After Christmas, I'm sure I'll be ordering more.

    and a MB ordered on May 14th would have like to go for a better Hilt but the P&P and import tax costs a fair bit being in UK.
    Im stoked though i got 2 MB's for my 1st order and i loved them but the lure of a sound saber was to great :P

    This is a good point for folks buying in the UK as it came as a bit of a shock to me, but expect an import/duty tax on your purchase on top of what you pay Ultrasabers - they do mention this and have no way of knowing what you will pay as it depends on destination country. I had to pay an extra £41.57 duty on my Apprentice LEv5.

Also, my friends family ordered like 6 lightsabers last month and got them a week ago so this whole situation has me feelin kinda stressed😳

    All right...pull up a chair....

    Prior to 2020, their processing time was about a week, but thanks to numerous factors - Rise of Skywalker mania, Covid-19 affecting their workforce and that of the companies they get their components from, shortages of materials, and so on - their manufacturing process is significantly delayed.  They've been telling people 3-4 weeks processing time, and are trying to hold to that, but these days the average seems to be 6-8 weeks.  Some have been waiting longer than that, as evidenced in the threads.  It depends on what you ordered, and if the components are in stock.  They are not processing orders sequentially, but are processing what they can, when they can.

    Adding to this madness are email and communication issues.  They had a big snafu that went down on May 25, resulting in ALL their emails up to that day being wiped out.  As of now, only one email address to the company works, [email protected], and because of the deluge of emails the company is experiencing, replies have been hit or miss.  Also, the website updates are nonexistent, no idea as to why.

    Basically, it's the Perfect Storm called 2020. 

    One thing I will point out though, is that orders ARE getting processed.   They have not halted any of that, they're just extremely delayed.  When your order is ready to ship, you'll get that Golden Ticket email directly from Ultrasabers.

    If you feel the need to, send an inquiry email about once a week to the address i mentioned earlier to see what's up.  Be civil, and include your order number in the subject.   And remember that it's trial and error, so some patience is required here.

    It's not right that things are this way, but some of this is beyond the company's control; I'm sure that the company itself wishes things were different as well.  This is just how it is for the time being.

    I don't know, I've never done one of these before, LOL.

    I'm not a big fan of multiple sound founts, so I'd say focus on the unboxing (that I love! and 9 sabers? Nice!) and maybe test one or two... But that's just me... The guy that won't take a diamond controller cause he doesn't want his sabers to change colors and would keep only one font on his saber anyway... xD

    Hey guy!

    I am a new saber enthusiast, and I ordered my first ever lightsaber from Ultrasabers. (Scorpion, black, purple blade). I did so on May 9, 2020, and I just needed to come in and vent, because this wait is killing me. Is it worth it in the end? I have had only one communication from someone from the company, and he just provided the generic "we are slightly behind on our may the 4th sale, but if your order hasn't shipped in the next couple of weeks, ask again." Which is a terrible response, given I am more than double the 4 week lead time. I sent the representative a message requesting more specific of an update, but haven't heard back. I also see the scorpion is out of stock on the website again. Is there anything I can reasonably due to get an update on when I might receive my lightsaber? At this point I am considering just cancelling it, because of the lack of communication. But this forum seems overall positive, and I want to be excited again, so, I guess to quote Padme "Help me, Saberforums" you are my only hope." Any advise or really anything I can do?

    I know the wait is tedious but believe me it is worth it when you get to get your hands on the sabers. Keep emailing them (be sure to put your order number in the email title) just be polite and understanding as it is not all necessarily their fault as they are waiting parts and supplies from other sources.

    I ordered on may 5, I’ve sent about 6 emails and tried calling 3 times. My order still says processing and I have heard nothing back from anyone in the company,m. I’ve seen their products and love them but this is the first time ordering from them for me and I’m currently on week 10 without any communication back from them.

    Sigh, over 13 weeks now. I ordered on April 17th, and the only info I've received since is "3-4 week lead time." I even got a shopper approved email a month ago and emailed Ultrasabers about it, but haven't gotten any response back. I think I've sent them 3 emails since getting that Shopper Approved email, but nothing. Still processing.

    For those wondering if it is worth the wait.

    YES.

    I am still waiting on orders from may 11th and 16th, both Mystery Boxes
    I am also waiting on a Diamond Aeon LE v5 from July 13th (15% was in my mind too good to pass, and too early to worry about time yet.)

    I had another order on June 26th that I have already received (2 MB and a DI v2). The mystery boxes were an Aeon v3 in Blazing Red and an Aeon v4 in Blue Violet Amethyst, both stunts, and I was thrilled.
    My trouble with these is that they are gifts and while I can hold them for a while, I do not get to keep them.

    It is awesome when you finally get your order. Do not give up.

    The customer service I have received is negligible since it is just automatically generated E-mails. So far.

    I have reached out using the basic contact E-Mail and I have no received any response in the week since I sent it.

    I have placed four different orders, and may place a fifth if I can get any information or advancement on my other orders.

    I do not regret any of it, but some people who know me think I am going a little farther than I should. They each have their own hobbies/obsessions that I have no understanding of so they can do their thing while I do mine.

    So, in conclusion to my rambling post. It is worth the wait.

    My only word of caution, when you finally get your Saber... Remember that swinging a three foot initiate inside is not bad, but you may want to find a spacious area to swing a full sized four foot plus saber and you definitely want enough room to play if you get a staff. Otherwise you end up explaining why there are dents in the walls (I have Heavy Grade Blades) and/or why the lamps are broken.

    Keep the faith. Keep trying to find out what is happening. Enjoy the Sabers when you get them.

    Ordered the prophecy v3 blazing red with orange flash on clash on may 7th. Wanted the dark prophecy but it was sold out. My first one so got the stand and all the cool stuff. I’ve yet to receive any kind of update to the emails sent. I understand that COVID has hampered them but jeez. Update the website to let people know the real lead times. Stop the sales that will back you up even further. Keeps customers updated even with mass emails just letting us know we are not forgotten. Was hoping to have this before my birthday this week but looks like that’s a bust. I only ordered it 2 months in advance. Guess I should have just waited. Lesson learned.....

    I saw this myself...it's actually  - and let me see if I can explain the story in a little more detail without violating any of this group's rules - a Facebook page for custom sabers in general that's run by the owner of one of the "other guys."  The rule states that the group is only for saber discussion and sharing pics and whatnot, and no unrelated posts (memes and the like) will be tolerated.  Which, by itself is fine, and makes some sense when you think about it, but the rule actually singles out "commiserating about wait times."

    What?  Seriously?  You can talk about your custom saber but you can't talk about how long you waited for it?

    Boy, if this place had that rule, we'd  ALL be screwed, LOL....

    While it might be run by one of the "other guys", in fairness it also covers US and most of the recent "commiseration" discussion has been about US (with a little of the "other guys" thrown in for good measure).

    To be honest I can understand wanting to keep a facebook group that is generally about sharing pics and discussions on lightsaber of all kinds positive and happy.  It's not like there aren't plenty of other places one can have a vent.  Positive happy places are even more important right now with the hell the world has descended into.

    But I'm used to placing my order and paying fully up front and then waiting up to and beyond two years for a Hot Toys figure so a few months for a hand crafted lightsaber is really not that bad.

    Please, stop me from purchasing a sentinel yellow spectre.
    Also, is it better to combine two custom sabers to get the free MB and only one raffle ticket or make two orders and pass on the free MB to get two raffle tickets? Hypothetically asking. You know. For a friend... And... Look over there!

    If it were me I'd go for the guaranteed mystery box with one entry.  But I'm only basing that on the number of prizes available and the apparent number of orders being placed weekly according to some here.  Really I got no idea  :D

    After 10 weeks of patiently waiting, my order has officially shipped.

    This is just a heads up to anyone waiting on an order.

    This is the first of two orders I have placed, I am still waiting on the second to ship.

    But realistically 10 weeks is probably what most of you will see.

    Order was placed in beginning of May and shipped July 18th.

    Honestly, I can deal with 10 weeks of waiting, but you gotta TELL me that it will take 10 weeks.

    When you say it takes 3 to 4 weeks and then it takes 10 weeks with zero official communication... I am not happy.

    I think that the majority of us here are perfectly okay with an extended wait time if we know ahead of time roughly what the wait time will be. Or I could be wrong. Just my opinion.

    So in examining why I am hesitant to order more, I have come the conclusion that it is simply because of the 2 Mystery Boxes. Since I cannot afford to get duplicates at this point, and I have no idea what I am getting, I have to wait until they arrive before ordering more sabers.

    I would like to see and hold them in hand to get a feel for the hilts and check out the colors, whatever they may be, before making the decision to get more. I like what I have received so I am happy to wait for the products, I just can't order anymore yet.

    10 weeks, that's cute. lol.  ::)
    I just passed 11 weeks on Friday for the Phantom Initiate V4. These sabers were stunts, with Tri-AS and Dark Catalyst pommels. Other than supply issues, I can not see any reason why it should take 11 weeks to make these sabers/staff.
    I hit 10 weeks on my second order on Wednesday (Diamond Dominicide). I heard from CS on the Diamond Dominicide. I haven't heard a thing about the Phantom Initiate V4. I have sent 4 emails since June 25th and nothing.
    Hence, my sarcastic 10 week comment.   :D

    In a nutshell, though.....OHHHHH, YEAHHHHHHH!  No problems with any of them!   My mother can't believe the quality.  She gave me an idea of another related Christmas gift for the boys: black gloves to protect their hands.  I'll track down some good ones, and those will be a gift from Grammy.

    Ultrasabers is getting 5 stars from me, that's for sure.  And I am officially hooked on this stuff.

    11 weeks and finally get word that there's a "stock issue" on a saber that they still have listed as in stock.

    Took a flier on one of the other guys, ordered on Tuesday (I think) and it will be delivered tomorrow. Definitely gonna be going with the other guys from now on (emailed them with a question, had a reply with an answer to my question 4 minutes later, where as I had to wait 10 days for a response from US when they had said they would be emailing me in 1-2 business days). They said they'll email me again on Weds with more info on the "stock issue," and their answer or lack of one will determine whether I continue waiting for my saber or issue a charge back.

    All right, I got Vimeo to work right, it's just taking a while for a long video.  When it's all set, I'll make my own thread in the review section  which I'll use for all the sabers I'll be getting.  For now, though, they're stashed away safely.

    Nope, I'm from about a week before that, haven't heard anything. Got the delivery confirmation email, but I don't have anything. Responded the same way I always do - I've got the order number, and I keep it civil, even though I think it's entirely unacceptable. Sent 5 emails before this one, three phone calls.

    Might as well ask your dog when it's coming, you're just as like to get an answer.

    I still have Mystery Sabers on my order list that have not been shipped.  May 11th and may 16th.

    They have shipped out some mystery sabers, I know because I had a couple in another order that I have already received.

    Beyond that, I don't know. 

    The product, when you get it, is quite good, but their customer service is currently quite horrible.
    The only E-Mails I have received have been autogenerated and there have been no answers to my own E-Mails

    Congrats on the Fallen!  I'm waiting for my own Fallen, but I have no idea when it'll get here.  I had some weird circumstances surrounding my order.
    When I saw the Fallen (and instantly had Fallen in love :) ) it was in stock, but a day later when I ordered it, it was out of stock.  One day later, it was back in stock again.

    I have no idea what to expect, but clearly I'm not seeing my saber until at least September.  Phoenix, how long did your Fallen take?

    Hello. I am posting in regard to an update on my ultra sabers order #761830? My wife placed the order for two sabers on May 4th, 2020, and it is now July 20th, 2020. We have not received the order yet. We have sent close to 20 emails, and have left 3 voicemails. Still, no word or update on the sabers. I have 2 brother in laws that ordered sabers after I did, one of which lives in the same household as I do, and both have received their sabers. One got theirs in 3 weeks, and the other in 3 weeks, 6 days. I am very upset at the lack of customer service and I am having a very bad experience with ultrasabers. If something isn't done soon, then ultra sabers will be losing a potential lifelong customer for good. I will also be leaving a very negative review and I will spread the word to my star wars friends about the terrible experience I have had.

    This is a group of UltraSabers customers and fans, not a way to reach UltraSabers customer service.  Nobody here works for UltraSabers.  We can give advice, but we can’t provide specific information about your order because we don’t have access to any of that information.

    ORDINARILY, you would probably have your saber in your hand already, because their turnaround time was typically 1-2 weeks.  Lots of us old-timers have that as our default experience with UltraSabers.  HOWEVER... in early December of last year, thanks to all the fan excitement surrounding the last Star Wars movie, a new Star Wars TV show that apparently should have been titled “Baby Yoda” instead, the release of a new Star Wars video game, the Christmas gift-giving season, and a winter sales promotion, they began to have so many orders that they fell behind.  In January, there started to be issues with parts and components, because of the COVID-19 issues in China, where some of the electronic parts are manufactured, and they fell a little more behind.  In February, the fallout from COVID-19 started to have effects here in the United States, and some of their more-local parts suppliers fell behind, not just the ones in China.  As time progressed, and as social-distancing measures needed to be put into effect in the workplace (causing more than the usual scheduling issues of getting the right technician, the right saber, the right parts, and the right tools all at the right workstation at the right time, multiplied across the multiple suppliers used), the backlog continued.  On May 25, they lost all their emails prior to that date, and that has caused its own issues.  They have staff working 24x7 trying to catch up from the backlog, and some progress is being made, but they are nowhere near back to normal yet.

    Their overall delivery times have slipped quite a bit; although some folks still get their sabers in a week or two, some sabers take three or four weeks, and some take eight weeks or longer.  Note that the orders are NOT worked in a First-In-First-Out queue order; there are too many dependencies on various parts, technician skill sets, machine/workstation availability, and Lord-only-knows what else for that to be even close to efficient.  There have been entire books— heck, entire college courses— written on efficient manufacturing-process scheduling, so there’s no way I can give a full explanation here; just know that it’s very complicated.

    The response times on the customer service emails have slipped quite a bit, too.  All I can say is to keep sending POLITE emails to [email protected] with your order number in the subject line, but I wouldn’t send an email every day; that will just clog up the Inbox and make it harder to find the emails that need an answer other than “Yes, we have your order, and it’s in the processing queue, but I can’t tell you when it will ship, because we are waiting on <fill_in_the_blank>.”  There’s nothing wrong with wanting an update, because you have sent them your money; just understand that right now, getting an update, or your saber, is going to take longer than normal, and longer than any of us would like.

    Same for me. Standard emitter wasn’t an option. When I emailed about my order after a month the rep told me that the combat emitter was what they were waiting on and that if I wanted the standard emitter they could do that.   I preferred the standard so it was a win for me

    Glad you were able to get a response on that!  Sorry, I know this is getting a little off the topic, but do you think that the standard is sturdy enough, or would you have preferred combat-ready?  I'm beginning to wonder if I should request the same thing.

    Six weeks total for my order, but to be honest, I got lucky; someone who had ordered the black Fallen with the combat emitter swapped it for a different color, and the CS rep helping me out was able to grab it for my order.  After that, they were able to get everything put together and ship it all out within 2 days.   Pure luck, plain and simple. But it is so worth the wait, believe me.

    "OOH, when you order the gloves for the kids, like we talked about, make sure you order gloves for [my youngest son's] friends for when they come over, they'll be able to use them with the extra sabers you've got.  And make sure you pick out gloves that will protect their wrists, too!  Not just their hands!"

I've waited 11 weeks as of tomorrow so hopefully if these are in stock it won't be too much longer. So in preparation of them hopefully coming, where can I see how to do a review and/or unboxing video? I am very new to forums.

    First of all, great choices, even if they are your "Plan B's"  I have the Savior myself, it really is a nice one.

    As for how to do an unboxing video, go to the Reviews page if you want examples, they're all over the place.  I have one there myself.   Best advice I can give you is to be honest, be yourself, and have fun with it.

    Finally got a reply on my May 1st order. Apprentice v5 and Dark Apprentice V5 are out of stock for the next 5 weeks. :'(

    What really tickles the boat is I emailed about May 1st, got a reply about my May 28th Order (Mystery Box), it was sent out, then got a reply about my May 1st order. Now I am reading that people who order Myster Boxes before me have yet to get others. Feeling a little guilty. :-X

    And to top it of!!! ::)

    Myster Box arrived (Dark Liberator v3- Stunt- Blue) and  AV switch is not attached to hilt and only hanging on by the writes. Hopefully my (only recent (1 week)) luck with communication will hold out and this will be fixed.

    Fingers crossed that Joshua gets back quick on the fix and what hilts can replace the May 1st Order! ;D

    You'll get your saber, that's a guarantee.   I know the email replies have been hit or miss, but I'm sure they're absolutely swamped with the amount of emails that come in on a daily basis.

    A weekly email seems reasonable to me, especially if you're at the 8th week or beyond.  Just try to be patient; there's a lot of outside factors at play here.

    That's par for the course. I've sent biweekly emails since week 4, tried two different emails, and called a few times. I have no doubt it'll come, but I wouldn't hand them any more money at gunpoint. I'd rather go with a competitor, even with a similar wait, if they can tell me how long I'll be waiting. Responding to emails isn't difficult, I do the job every day, so it's exceptionally frustrating for it to be bungled so badly.

    Four weeks as of today for my second order (Dominix LE v5).  I figure i'll give it a couple more weeks and then see if I can find out what the word is.

    Placed my order on May 14th, well over two months ago.

    Sent multiple e-mails, have yet to receive a response to any of them.

    Getting pretty frustrating, I'm currently buying a house and that seems to be going faster than my saber order.

    Oh, what the Sith... I've taken the plunge after my Apprentice LEv5 and ordered the main course - Spectre with Lite Sound, Consular Green blade (Silver FOC, quick disconnect MLS), windowed emitter and D-ring - plus a mystery box.

    Hope they are reading emails as I used the summer raffle code but got distracted double-checking the hilt is available and forgot to add my forum username, so replied to their order confirmation email with it...  :-[

    First time buyer here.  Is it normal to get a “did you receive your saber?” email before you get any shipping info and the saber still shows as processing on the US website?  I totally understand we are living in a pesky pandemic world and things are weird.  I just need to know if I should be worried (or possibly excited) or not.  Thanks!

    I wouldn't get too excited. I made my order about two and a half months ago and got that "did you receive your order yet?" e-mail a little over a week ago.

    Still no saber, still no reply to any of my e-mails.

    It's an email sent by the company collecting reviews. Nothing related to the state of your order (processing or shipping info).

    I'm just going to go ahead and post this, because I am getting pretty damn sick of all this whining about "where's my saber?" If any of you have a real solution to end the prolonged paranoia that is crippling the economy, I am all ears. Honestly, ask yourselves if ANYTHING has gone right in 2020. Ultrasabers does NOT machine their own parts. They do NOT anodize their own parts. They do NOT manufacture the internal hardware they use. They do NOT produce the fasteners used to assemble certain parts. They do NOT extrude the polycarbinate tubing used to make the blades. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see where I'm going with this. There are any number of factors that can interrupt Ultrasabers' production flow and put them well beyond behind schedule. They are dependent upon other VENDERS and OUTSIDE PROCESSORS. So if their SUPPLIERS fall behind in meeting orders, guess what?....

    Then there is the issue about emails. They might have CSRs trying to answer 5000 emails apiece....if they even have any reps left. And because people have no patience and/or couth, these emails exponentially pile up. HELL'S BELLS, I placed an order back in May, for an emitter. I then sent an email enquiring if part orders were as backed up as full saber orders. I got my order before I got a reply, a week and a half later. So stop and think, would you rather they drop everything to answer the endless flow of emails, or just keep plugging along in an attempt to fill orders?

    So PLEASE remember, 2020 has been the absolute definition of $#!%show. Be cool and remember that NOTHING is running like normal. Patience and understanding are in short supply (like toilet paper). I'm sure the good people at Ultrasabers will appreciate it.

    Thanks for reading.

    I talked to the customer service rep today and my order is completely updated. Last thing I wanted was to change the gold covertec wheel on my Emperors Hand for a black one. He also said that my order should ship in 1 or 2 days. With that being said should I tailor my excitement a bit or do yall think I will actually ship in 2ish days?

    It'll ship, trust me.  They've just got to finish assembling the full order and you'll get that Golden Ticket in a day or two.  If it takes longer than that, I'll be surprised.

    Hey Man,  I get that you are frustrated reading all of the posts on this thread..... but I would point out that this thread is Literally about complaining while waiting for your saber.  And the mods have deliberately pushed people who are complaining into this thread to stop them from going all over the board.

    Second, I would say that you are correct with everything you said about supplies.  But you know what isn't being effected by their supply issues? Them communicating with their customers.  Them changing their website to appropriately indicate when things are out of stock.  Them constantly running new promotions. Them taking new orders when they know they can't fill them.

    All of that could also be fixed by literally updating the website to say that the expected delivery date is 8 weeks - That would take them 5 minutes.  They just don't want to do that because they want to claim being the fastest to deliver sabers over all of the other custom shops.

    So that part is on them.

    So that part is on them.
    Let me give you a little forum history. This thread was originally created as a place for member to facetiously gripe that they had to wait like a week for delivery. OMG! It's so terrible. ANd we literally would "complain" that we only had to wait about week, maybe 2 for large orders to be filled and shipped. Seriously, I have ordered a saber in the morning, had a shipping confirmation the same afternoon, and held a brand new saber within 4 days. That was a best case scenario of "normal" years back. We knew that our wait times weren't going to be unbearable, so this was a place we could announce to other members that we scratched our itch again, and let them know what we ordered, and how anxiously awaited our new pieces of tubular awesomeness.

    The real issue here is that most of came in at the absolute worst time to order. Ever since Ep7, US has gotten catastrophically back logged around Christmas: once over due to the Christmas shopping season and/or Christmas money spending season; and twice again because of every nerd and their brother wanting a new saber to celebrate the next crappy movie to be released. This would usually set them back into February before orders started getting caught up. Fast forward to March 2020. The economy is half shut down and struggling to get back into full production. PLUS, a bunch of dumbasses thought it was a good idea to tell people to stay at home, bored off their asses, with nothing better to do but order awesome crap online. And I've already stated the possible and most likely probable reasons why US is not looking so favorable to the current batch of customers. Give the situation time to mellow, and this company will truly WOW you.

    I know the mods have pushed people here, but that's so we don't have a million different threads being created with the express purpose of bitching about slow dleiveries/shipping/email response, etc.

    I did address that. If they are currently short staffed, what would you prefer they dedicate their limited manpower towards: building sabers, or answering a million bitchy emails?

    And what happens when more hiccups in the reopening process further impede, and new customers start griping yet again that "You said it would only take 8 weeks."

    Be happy I'm not in charge. I would shut down order entry until orders are caught up. Then nobody that didn't order before April would have anything to complain about and an equal amount of things to expect in the mail. Look at the bright side: you have ordered from another company....but you'd have paid 2 - 3 times the price, AND mostly likely still wouldn't have your order.

    I've been on this forum since 2014. Believe me when I tell you that this company is legit and will eventually deliver......global economic collapse notwithstanding. 2020 has truly prevented them from bouncing back the aforementioned Christmas season. Last year at this time was all flapjacks and gravy. Everyone excited about what they were going to order for the first summer raffle.

    Here's a question for everyone.  Some people have received sabers quickly, while others have had to wait.  I've ordered a number of sabers.  The fifth order was The Emperor's Hand.  They shipped that within a couple days and I have already received it.  But I've heard nothing about the seven other sabers I've ordered before and after The Emperor's Hand.  Are they simply out of stock of certain parts or sabers and that's what we are all freaking out about?  I'm curious on which sabers are shipping and which ones are on hold.  So, What did you order that you've already received?

    The black version of the Fallen is a real hot commodity, with a delay of several weeks, but some people are having luck switching from the combat emitter to the standard one.  And I was told by them that the emitter of the gold Savior without windows was out of stock; i had ordered the one with windows, so I caught a break there.

    Oddly enough, the Raven hilt is out of stock on the website, but I'm pretty sure they used one of those for my Frankensaber that i got last week.  Go figure.

    Sooo, I've got a problem.....my sabers have arrived and I need something else to think about and obsess over.  Besides more sabers, I mean.  What to do, what to do?

    And then it hit me.....I've got to come up with a place to keep this eventual (hopefully) big collection!

    I've already got a plan in mind...clear a spot in my bedroom for a nice, quality wooden bookcase to set up, and the sabers can sit all nice and neat on the shelves.  Attached to the bookcase can be a little basket for the blade plugs and allen wrenches.   And next to the bookcase can be an umbrella stand to keep the blades.  When I need to arm myself, just grab a saber from the shelf, pop out the plug, pop in the blade and I'm good to go.

    Oooh, the potential is so exciting.   The problem is I CAN'T DO ANY OF THIS UNTIL AFTER THE HOLIDAYS!  DAGNABBIT!!!

    Seriously, though, it is nice to have some things to look forward to.

    So I'm coming up on week 10 for my order. It was a pretty sizable order with 10 sabers total. Me and a couple friends decided to go into this order together and get some for ourselves. The wait like most has been killing us, but I'm not too worried about not receiving them.

    7 of the sabers are mine and I'm distributing 5 of them to some more of my friends/family so we can all be Idiots together. Most of the sabers are stunt ones, and I've been getting an ever increasing urge to get a nice Emerald with sound one for myself. I've been looking at the Manticore and everyday I can feel my will slowly crumbling. I've never gotten a US Saber before or even a Custom saber so I was hoping to see how the stunts and my Friends Empress with premium sound turned out before I went and bought it.

    I don't know what a saber is like with the Emerald driver, but my first order that came in last week had a Manticore with sound in it, and it's a fine saber.  It might not look as flashy as a saber like the Fallen or the Spectre, but sometimes the simplicity of the hilt is the appeal.  Plus it's got a really nice emitter with a lot of detail to it.

    I did a video of the unboxing, it's over on the reviews page if you want to take a look.  I had quite a few sabers in my order so if you want to see a good variety, you'll get it, LOL.

    I have sent three emails and all three they have answered them the next day, today I got one in which they told me that they are currently receiving weekly shipments of hilts from they machine shop and that those are more frequent but smaller batches of various hilts.

    And that they are experiencing a delay with some of the most popular hilts and this includes mine :( but they told me that they can assist me changing my order.

    Originally I order an Initiate LE V5 but now Idk if change it for a Sentinel LE v5 or an Apprentice LE v5

    I got the Apprentice as a free grab bag.  It's a nice saber; ideal for using one-handed, but you can use it two-handed easy enough.   The Sentinel, as far as I can tell, is just its "big brother," definitely a two-handed saber.  It really just comes down to what size hilt you want.

    I had ordered one mystery box on May 11th and another on May 16th, and I have recieved Fed-Ex  Tracking Info for Both today, July 21st.  Expected date of delivery is July 23rd.

    I sincerely hope that there are others out there who have received good news today as well.

    Of course, now that I have tracking info, the hardest wait occurs.

    Specially since these are Mystery Boxes and could be totally epic diamond or emerald sabers or simple stunt sabers. (Yes, I know the odds are very much that they are just stunt sabers)
    Also I don't know what the hilts are... (Again I know they are likely Sentinal/Aeon/Apprentice/Initiate Styles)
    But you get the idea.

    To make the wait worse, these ones are meant to be mine. Not gifts I am holding for someone else...

    Enough ranting for now, I have a Fed-Ex Tracking number and a new website to stalk for the next few days.

    I'll let you all know what I got when I know what I got.

    I dont think they give Emeralds and Diamonds away as mystery boxes, so you're out of luck there.  But, yes, you could very well end up with a sound saber.  And as for the hilt, who knows?

    For example, I ended up with the stunt version of the Shock with the Silver non-illuminated AV switch as my mystery box, and that was a $170 saber as a free giveaway.   You might get something similar, you never know.  But, I also got an Apprentice as a grab bag, and even that is nice.

    Trust me, the first time you feel the weight of that thing in your hands and you realize, "this is no plastic toy", and you hit that switch....it's awesome.   Enjoy the excitement.

    I agree with JP these are truly combat ready sabers , i have taken my saber staff up against hardwood staff pretty dam hard and after alot of matches it has only a few minor scratches and of course a battery will come lose once in a while

    Yeah, they should be nice.

    They are gonna have a 36 inch Heavy-Duty Ultra-Edge Blade each, so I do plan on actually using them.

    No point buying something like this (in my opinion) unless you are allowed (or encouraged) to play with it.

    Kinda hoping for sound on one, or at least a hilt that I haven't already ordered as a follow up.

    Whatever I get will be worth it. My family thinks I am crazy, but still worth it.

    Surprisingly, the customer service of ultrasabers has been so nice with me,

    I have sent three emails and all three they have answered them the next day, today I got one in which they told me that they are currently receiving weekly shipments of hilts from they machine shop and that those are more frequent but smaller batches of various hilts.

    And that they are experiencing a delay with some of the most popular hilts and this includes mine :( but they told me that they can assist me changing my order.

    Originally I order an Initiate LE V5 but now Idk if change it for a Sentinel LE v5 or an Apprentice LE v5



    I was told that they are only getting bi-weekly shipments and they are really small shipments.

    Either I wait patiently or lose 20% and get a refund.


    To echo, Logos stance on if he were in charge, I hope they do stop taking new orders, at the very least stop the mystery boxes and grab bags so actual custom orders can be fufilled. But that is just my opinion.

    Seriously considering just saying "the hell with it," and going for another saber to enter this raffle going on.  Not worried about the wait time since it would be put away until after the holidays anyway; it would actually be fine if it took a while to get here. 

    The main reason I'm thinking about it is, the excitement and anticipation of this last order really did me good after the way this year's gone down.  I really needed that.  Add in the excitement of maybe winning a prize on the raffle....

    I dunno. We'll see.

    I have a USPS tracking number that originally forecast yesterday as the expected delivery date. 

    The current status shows “In Transit, Arriving Late” — arrrrrrrrgh!  So what does that mean— did the semi-truck crash somewhere after leaving Houston?  Did the truck driver take that “wrong left turn at Albuquerque” that Bugs Bunny always complains about?   Did some flunky of the Empire intercept the truck and confiscate my saber? 

    Oh, the pain of partial information!

    Same thing for me.  they were over-zealous with their estimation, and the delivery date only got the package to the local distributor, with it going out the next day to me.

    It shipped Friday, and USPS provided the “Tuesday by 8:00pm” delivery estimate by Saturday.  It has been in the current “In Transit, Arriving Late” status since Monday.  The last meaningful status was when it arrived at the Houston distribution center early on Sunday morning.

    Again... <insert frustrated rage meme here>

    It's Weds., the day that I was told that I'd have to wait until to find out more info about my order that was placed on May 5th. Shockingly, I've heard nothing. In the meantime I've ordered a few sabers from elsewhere. I ordered my first 2 on the 15th. I had them in hand on Monday. I ordered another one today. I would have spent that money with US, but I have no confidence that I'll actually get my orders.

    Got a mystery box ordered on May 6th shipping today, should be here tomorrow. Out of my last 4 orders this has taken the longest. After speaking to one of the CSR's though I understand that it is as speculated that they are out of their stock of mystery boxes. They are being made one at a time like custom sabers so as soon as they get a random bunch of hilts  in they are fabricating them and getting them out ASAP.

    Just received and update from Nicole, if anyone has been exchanging emails with Erin she has been out of the office for a few weeks and Nicole is trying to catch up her inbox.

    The Dark Initiate LE v4 hilts have been delayed from the machine shop.  She is trying to get me an estimate on when they will be available again.

    Do you guys know if they always wait to send everything in the same shipment or do they do partial shipments?

    As far as I know, they don't do partial shipments.   They wait until everything is assembled and ship it all at once.

    No, I get that. Didn't receive the update as promised though. The last time it took over 10 days to get the response that was promised in "1 or 2 business days." I've been patient, I've made excuses for their lousy customer service. I've defended them elsewhere, but now I'm beginning to lose my patience after getting nothing but delayed responses and non answers. Particularly when dealing with someone else with outstanding customer service. 4 minutes to receive an email response that fully answers a question that I had.

    US needs to do better, or they'll find that they will lose out on repeat customers.

    I got a Princess during the last 15% sale! Went with a combo of Crimson hilt with Guardian Blue blade, Violet FoC. What is yours?

    But after getting and enjoying my Empress and free Initiate, I have been bit. In addition to that Empress, I have in my cart waiting to check out 3 more Stunt sabers that keep changing configuration. At least one for my little daughter (Dark Initiate v4, slotted, w/Bane's Heart), one more for me (Sentinel v5 w/Sun Rider's Destiny), and one.... because if I got to $250 I get free shipping and raffle.... (Initiate v4, slotted, w/undecided color.... torn between Consular Green and Fire Orange).

    The struggle is real...

    I kept mine simple this time around...it's the golden Princess, but i didn't opt for sound this time.  Purple blade; I went with the 24" blade because this one will be for display only.  It won't be used by anyone.

    It's for my wife, to be honest; she died unexpectedly earlier this spring. We'd been together over 25 years, this summer would have been our anniversary.  It's hard to explain and it might not make sense, but getting a saber for everyone else in the family but not for her didnt feel right to me.  She wasn't as big a fan as me and the kids are, but I really think she would have enjoyed having her own saber.  She did like Leia, and purple was her favorite color.   So, when this opportunity came around, I decided to take it.  It'll be kept in my room, in memory of her.  I guess you could say it's something I needed to do for myself.

    So now you all know why I lost my mind and bought $2000 worth of lightsabers for Christmas; it's to try and give my kids a happy day when it'll be hard as hell to go through.

    And now you all know why I'm not sweating over the issues Ultrasabers is going through.   As long as they get my family's sabers right, the rest is trivial to me.

    Part of my motivation to pick up more is my little one. I only have one so far; a daughter coming up on 20 months. She has been giggling with glee over my sabers, including using some more age-appropriate toys to "battle" me. So the little pink one will eventually be for her, and in the meantime, she's playing with my $20 Walmart ROTJ Luke and OT Vader sabers from the mid 90s when I got them in middle school.  Ever since her, the joy and excitement of others has become one of the most powerful motivators.

    I can't even imagine a situation like that. But I'm also only in my mid 30s. Family support always helps!

    As much as I know that the people still enduring the long wait for products don't really want to hear it (Or see it, since this is text), I can't help myself.

    Been a ten week wait for a couple mystery boxes and they are slated to arrive tomorrow, sometime before 8:00 PM, this feels like Christmas used to feel, Specially since I have no idea what is coming. Long awaited presents are going to be here soon and I almost don't want to sleep.

    I am keyed up and twitching back and forth on what I hope to find when I get to open the boxes. I'm not disciplined enough to wait and do a proper unboxing video but I will do pictures when I can. With the array of options available I have all sorts of wishes going on right now, for what is in the boxes, often contradictory ones.

    Had to vent somewhere and as I have stated before, the folks here don't think I have completely lost my mind like the people I live with do, so this is a safe place to post/say this stuff.

    To all those Jedi waiting...  Trust in the Force. You will get your order. It just may test your patience.

    To all those Sith waiting...  Stop breaking stuff, and leave those subordinates alone. I know torture can be rewarding, but you pick the right people and Bob from accounting hasn't had anything to do with this delay. Leave him alone!

    Hmm, wonder if I could be cheeky and if my mystery box is the hold-up, suggest I don't care which hilt I get as long as they stick sound in it? ;)

    Suspect the Spectre will be the delay if anything though.

    My 12 year old ordered his saber(s) first; I ordered mine to duel with him.  I feel guilty that I got mine already.  So I'm hiding it.  I think I may be more anxious for his to arrive than I was for mine!  It's a good thing that he got a pair, as well, because my wife picked up my Fallen last night and got a really big grin on her face.  😁

    They are here!

    Two Mystery Boxes.

    First: Bellicose with Short Groove Pommel and Silver A/V Switch in Sunrider's Destiny (I think) without Sound
    (Not sure on the blade color but the LEDs are blue and green, and I suspect the Arctic Blue would be Blue and White)

    Second: Archon v2.1 with Standard Pommel and Silver A/V Switch in Guardian Blue without Sound

    I am thrilled! The hilts are Awesome and ones that I would not have considered buying myself.

    But now I Nit-Pick:
    They were shipped with Ultra Edge Mid-Grade Blades, I requested Ultra Edge Heavy Grade.
    The Bellicose Blade is also slightly bent, though I suspect that that has occurred in shipping.

    I can switch out the blades for ones that I have already, but I have to say I am slightly disappointed.
    I plan on using the Sabers and I know the Mid-Grades will not hold up to what I intend.

    Finally got my sabers today. While they are very well made I stand by my decision to no longer support US as they are now. The customer support is horrible making the entire experience overly stressful for a product that should be fun. I'm not a fan of not knowing what's going on with something I pay alot of money for.

    I only got the basic dark initiate v2 with silver blade/color discs and a dark initiate v2 LE with the same blade. I like them alot. And if thier support changes in the future would order again. A message goes a long way.

    It's now been almost 3 months since I placed my order. My patience is starting to thin out. I should at least get a free Frankensaber for the long wait......Ugh!! OH....If you try to cancel with them...They will charge you a 20% restock fee. Just a heads up.

    If you need to you can reach out to your credit card company and explain the item never arrived. Often times they will cover you 100%. Honestly if they would just do some PR and reach out to people who have been waiting months it would do a great deal to help.

    Just got a note from Jake at US that the Initiate V4 (specifically the Dark initiate LE, but this may apply to others) is slated for 3-4 weeks for parts delivery.  This seems to be a standard time frame, but I'm hoping that this goes the way my Fallen hilt went, which means we should see shipping information in 2-3 weeks.  Nothing wrong with optimism!  We're waiting for two identical sabers, one purchased in May, one in June, but they've said that they will combine the orders and ship them both out together.  

    Fingers crossed, because until these get here, I have to play with my Fallen in secret.   :D

    Keep sending emails.  I get the feeling that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.  Or at least information.  Typically I get one response for every 2-3 emails.  No more than one a week.

    Here's the question....do you people want them to spend their time answering the hundreds, if not thousands of emails they surely get every day, or do you want them to put most of their energy into getting orders processed as quickly as they can, while trying to work around Covid and material shortages and the rest of the mess, and answering emails as time allows?

    And before any of you tell me both, uh-uh.  That's only possible in a perfect world.  And right now, this ain't it.

    EDIT: Apologies if I sound a bit ornery,  but it's been one of those work days....

    I am not angry at all, but respectfully, the customer service people and the shop people are not the same people.  Two different jobs.  I'm not sure why "both" is unreasonable.  If it was a 1-2 man shop, I could see your point, but US is not that.

    I think expecting at least 1 e-mail a month on the current status of your order is not asking too much.  I'm at about 10 weeks and haven't heard anything on a $1300 order.

    Well many of us have not heard from them even once since our orders were placed over 3 months ago. Not once have they told us anything about supply shortages, or COVID staffing issues, or anything. So yes. We would like some sort of feedback rather than sitting in the dark for over 3 months. Maybe they need to hire a PR manager who can handle the emails and such. Just a thought.

    True enough, but according to Owler.com, only 13 people work at the company.   According to other similar websites, their total staff is "less than 50."  We're not talking about a staff of dozens and dozens here.  And right now, Texas is a Covid-19 hot zone under very strict business regulations; only X amount of people are allowed to work in the building at one time.  And if Ultrasabers does indeed only have a total staff of 13 people, compared to the amount of customers they have to deal with regularly...see where I'm going with this?

    Look, I'm not saying they don't have problems, and I'm not trying to sweep anybody's problems under the rug.  I'm just trying to bring to light WHY there are problems,  and WHY the solution may not be as simple as one might think.  

    This thread, as far as I know, is supposed to be a place to share the excitement and anticipation of getting one's lightsaber in the mail, a place to share the fun of the experience, and it's just become a hotbed of complaints.   It just gets tiresome after a while, gang, that's all.

    Can anyone help explain please? I put my first ever big boy Lightsaber order in on May 22 and I'm super excited. I received the email confirmation of the receipt and my bank account was charged. The problem is that it doesn't show up in my orders in my login and there is nowhere I can find to enter an order number. I've tried calling and emailing both the shipping and info emails, but haven't received any responses. I'm trying to remain calm and patient, but the inner sith wants to come out, lol. If you guys know anything I should, please help me.

    This is my EXACT situation. I entered an order on May 15, 2020 for a 75$ Mystery Saber. I figured this is an easy order to fulfill, however I received the receipt email and the charge in my bank account but countless emails, Facebook messages, and forum posts have gone unanswered, likewise the order does not show up in my pending order list for my profile....I want to give the benefit of the doubt, but it is difficult when I am watching custom build saber orders being completed and shipped in this thread.

    If anyone has experienced this and has any insight on what to do please help. I really don't want to have to escalate actions over a mystery saber.

    I'd just like a response in the time frame promised. If I told someone I would contact them with more information by such and such a time, and I didn't follow through with that, I wouldn't have a job. They already have my money, I'd like to at least be treated like a customer and have some communication in regards to my order which was place 3 months ago.

    Valid point.  I can't argue with that at all, and I'm not trying to, not with you or anyone else.  The reason for my...stance/attitude/whatever, is I'm trying to be reassuring, even if I'm not getting it quite right.  Yes the waiting sucks, yes the lack of communication sucks, yes 2020 sucks (can I get an amen on that, at least?), but it's gonna get better.  This crap storm isn't going to last forever.   At least, I hope not.

    I really hope your fortune turn for the better soon, guys.   And when it does, don't let the experience sour your enjoyment of the sabers.   Cause, really....this stuff is pretty cool.   8)

    Even just updating their FAQ would be nice.

    Quote from: https://ultrasabers.com/faq/
    Due to high volume, our sabers currently have a 3-4 week lead time (15-20 Business days), but any Ultrasaber’s customer knows we nearly never take that long. In non-peak season, orders typically ship within 1-3 business days.  If you need a more definitive time frame for shipping, please email us at [email protected] and we can tell you more specifically when a particular saber you are ordering will ship out.

    They "nearly never" take the 3-4 weeks?? Seems like the norm. If that changed to "we currently have a 3 month lead time" I would be happier. At least there was some communication.

I was 10 when when the Clone Wars began and I instantly fell in love with Ahsoka so, when I saw these sabers, I had to have them. I’m also looking forward to spinning them and seeing if my Colourguard training comes in handy XD It’s been 9 weeks but, I’m patient. Though, I did send an email just to check in. :)

    Nice choice.  I'm also waiting on Fulcrum and Lost Grey, but I decided to go with the season 7 Tri Arctic Blue.  Ahsoka is also my favourite Jedi, but I was somewhat older when Clone Wars started. Maybe I should have sprung for the top of the line with colour changing to get both but this is my first saber purchase and didn't want to spent that much.

    Just an update.  Seems they have a new stock of Mystery Boxes. At least a few.

    I had ordered one mystery box on May 11th and another on May 16th, and I have recieved Fed-Ex  Tracking Info for Both today, July 21st.  Expected date of delivery is July 23rd.

    I sincerely hope that there are others out there who have received good news today as well.

    So, It looks like they are up to the May orders.

    Based on what I've been reading from people's posts who have received their sabers, it looks like UltraSabers are up to the May orders.  With few exceptions is seems like that is the time frame they are in right now.  So those of us with June/July orders, our numbers are coming up.

    Welp, I just passed 10 weeks for my initial order and I have Ignored the multiple deities that tried to stop me from ordering another one. Ended up getting A Manticore with Emerald and sound. It only took my credit card account being completely frozen for the next week as they try to determine that yes, I'm the Man-Child who is trying to buy A Custom LightSaber with my card. This is the second time in a day my account got restricted trying to purchase.

    So Instead of taking the hint and listening to the very aggressive and blunt Gods trying to halt my advance I turned to my good friend PayPal to loan me that good Sugar Daddy Money.

    I Regret Nothing.

    Manticore
    Emerald Driver with Sound
    Blazing Red
    Flash Pyrestone Orange
    Pulse to Pyrestone Orange
    36" For her pleasure
    UltraEdge Heavy Grade For that sweet beating Durability
    Low Profile to stay sneeky
    Silver Non-Illuminated AV Switch
    No add-ons
    I'm in the Raffle Baby!

    Sentinel v5 - Sun Rider's Destiny, Covertec on side
    Dark Initiate v4 - Bane's Heart, slotted emitter holes
    Initiate v4 - Consular Green, slotted emitter holes

    Depending on how it affects my costs, I may drop the green and give the Sentinel sound. Just hoping to stay around the $250 mark for the free shipping and raffle ticket.

    Also waiting for whenever Princesses start to ship. Got a Crimson red one with Guardian Blue blade (Violet Flash on Clash)

    The addiction is real....

    Nice selection of colors, there.  The Princesses will be shipping in "early August."  Time will tell as to whether they get whacked with the same shortage problems, although hopefully not...they've had time to plan for this one.

    Hope is always good these days.   It'll get shipped; quite a few May orders seem to be getting filled recently, so it's only a matter of time. And yeah, it would be helpful if those sales did get postponed, but...eh.  It is what it is, I guess.

    Exactly the same for me! :) I could imagine that there are a lot of requests for them right now because the last season just aired... I'm really exited to get them, just as I am for the Graflex. And as I'm waiting I work on both of those cosplays simultaneously :D

    Well. I’ve been getting regular emails now from customer service. Woohoo! Turns out my saber I ordered is fully out of stock and won’t be in stock for a while. But she told me they have a Fallen LE premium sound saber set aside for me if I want to upgrade so I bit the bullet and it should ship out shortly.



    See, this is what's upsetting and why I'm glad I filed that claim with my cc weeks ago. I've emailed them 4 times over the course of 5 weeks asking about my order (Fallen LE, obisidian sound) and have yet to receive a reply.

    Good for you though. Looking forward to some pics/vids.

    Oh boy.... I gave in to temptation and bought another saber before my first 1 from June even arrives lol. Got a Fallen LE premium sound guardian blue and now a Dark Mantis with claws in blazing red inbound.... Both sides of the force secured

    Well. I did it. I just ordered another ultrasaber! I knew I would, but was just not sure WHEN I was going to, but... we have plans to go to WDW soon and were going to build sabers there.

    And thanks to COVID, that is something they are not doing right now. Actually a blessing in disguise, really - it was more for the “experience”. I’m not crazy over the saber choices.

    So, I put that $200 plus a little extra toward an Initiate LE v5 Basic sound saber. Hot pink 36” blade. FOC. Orange Illuminated Silver AV Switch.

    ... definitely not a saber I’d get at WDW.

    With 10% off and point redemption, I got it right at $254 so JUST enough for a summer raffle entry, too!

    Now... the waiting game begins.....  ;D

    You will have to post the full cosplay set when your done.

    I got a reply from US and the Lost Grey and Fulcrum are current 3-6 weeks out while new hilts are machined.  They offered to swap for alternatives but I ordered what I want.  If I wanted something else I would have ordered that.  I'm fine with this wait.  It's just good to have a time frame.  Hope this helps others with these hilts in their orders.

    That would be nice.  My CS rep said I can check in weekly if I'd like as they usually get the list of what's coming in each Wednesday (and in smaller batches then they would prefer but what ya gonna do when the apocalypse is on your doorstep).  I won't bother her that often.  Maybe in 3 weeks.

    I have to say, when you do get a rep, they are so incredibly nice and helpful (well mine has been).  I feel for the guys (and gals) still with no contact.  That's really hard.

    Well... I caved on my order cart and placed another order. I was hoping to wait for the points I'd get for my video review (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=45807.0), but with all other delays, who knows when that could be. Plus I can just combine those with the points from this order in a future order. The cycle continues....  :D ;D

    So in addition to the Princess pre order from about a month ago, I have added as of today:

    Sentinel v5, Obsidian Lite, Sun Rider's Destiny, Silver FoC
    Dark Initiate v4, Stunt Saber, Bane's Heart, Windowed Emitter

    I was torn between the Sentinel v5 and Aeon v4, and liked both nearly equally. One of the things that sold me (besides the extra little near machining details of the Sentinel) is that the base price of the Sentinel vs the Aeon is only $5 more, but includes the windowed emitter and silver metal switch automatically. To add those to an Aeon, it's an additional $20 (5+15), making it a total base price $15 above the Sentinel. So the decision maker between them was value!

    I'm sure it's ready to ship, it probably just hasn't been picked up, yet; I got the alert on a Friday and the Golden Ticket the next day, but FedEx didn't pick it up from their building until Monday.  And even then, it didn't go fully into transit until Tuesday.  Hang in there....

    ALL RIGHT, FINE!  I HAD A WEAK MOMENT AND SENT AN EMAIL, OKAY? DON'T JUDGE ME!

     :D

    Actually, it paid off; got the heads up from Aria that, yep, the Dominix is indeed delayed.  She told me they're getting shipments of hilts and parts every Wednesday and told me to contact her then, she should have a better idea of a time frame.  So, we'll wait and see.

    My wish list has now grown to include many many more sabers than I can reasonably afford.

    I still think I need to wait, or at least attempt to wait, until my other orders are delivered.

    On Order are:
    Aeon LE v5 Diamond -Based on current wait times- Expected late September
    Sentinel v4 Staff AS - Expected early October
    Sentinel v5 Obsidian v4 CG w/FO FoC - Expected Early October

    Wish list
    Empress, one each finish -Black SY w/AS FoC-Red PO w/FO Foc-Gold BVA w/AS FoC-Blue BH w/AS FoC-
    Aeon LE v5 BR Stunt -Trainer for the Diamond-
    Sentinel v5 CG Stunt -Trainer for sound saber-
    Fallen, not certain which color, at this precise moment, azure or crimson, but that changes by the hour
    Dark Monarch Haven't narrowed down the config maybe emerald sound or diamond so don't have to choose
    Crimson Reaper BR w/FO FoC (I have a hard time seeing that a light side hilt right now)
    Catalyst
    Dorinian
    Various Sentinel/Aeon/Initiate/Apprentice Blades
    Dominicide or Renegade
    Mystery Boxes! -To see what I can get-

    I need to not visit the site any more.  I need help.

    Hella Addictive Hobby! My family thinks I have completely lost it.

    Hello all! I recently made my first purchase and am having trouble getting a response from US. I have read many reviews, watched YouTube videos and some of the posts here. Is this becoming common practice for them? I am really patient, but I feel like the crazy ex when trying to get a reply on lead time. My order was pretty simple and I can appreciate all factors for the delay ex: COVID, order volume and the like. I do however think a point to giving customers a heads up would be most appreciated. Also, I live in Texas so its only going on week 3 but the raffle started a week after my order. Will this push my order back further or is it a first come/serve deal. Thanks in advance for any help or info and apologies for grammar errors.

    Well, it was just over 10 weeks from ordering and 5 weeks after my initial email before I got a reply. I guess that they are working 7 days a week cause the reply email was sent on a Sunday. She explained the delay, apologized for having me wait 5 weeks for an email response and offer me a different option to get my order done within a few business days. It's all about patience I guess.

    They can't update the website to say what is out of stock, since that includes EVERYTHING! Or so it seems.

    Cheers mine was ordered a few weeks ago but I'm patient and have a few sabers to subdue me for now

    I too ordered an empress on May 5th and was told it was out of stock (black with engravings) 2 weeks ago. I was given the option to change hilts which I did to the Emperors hand. Figured this was going to be a hobby of mine for awhile and would buy an empress later on. I have so many hilts that I want and want to also learn to build them. My wifes saber was also sold out. And ill be getting hers later on as well (2 black grandmasters).  Good luck this week everyone. Hopefully we all get some good news.

    Oh wow, that's really strange. I talk about my buying process in my video review (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=45807.0), and definitely bought an Empress well after that (June 14th), and managed to get my hands on it about 5 weeks later, accounting for shipping times. I emailed them July 9th, heard back that it was being made and fabricated in a few days. No mention of out of stock, so that's super weird.

    Just curious as to how you managed to obtain an email response. I have tried the info@ and the shipping@ addresses for my May 23 order and all I have heard are crickets. Any suggestions for success are appreciated.

    Luck and timing, I guess? As I mention in the video, I emailed them about a week after the order, twice, and heard nothing. Then at around the 4 week mark, I tried again and got a response almost immediately. *shrug*

    As much as I am dismayed by the time lag on getting the sabers, and by a recent error on two of my orders, I still wanna buy more stuff.

    I am still enamored by mystery boxes and do not entirely know why, even though I know they are not usually all that great. Or it might just be a form of gambling for me, I'm not sure.

    Still impatiently waiting for customer service and my other three orders that are processing.

    On an odd note, my father, who does not understand any of this hobby/obsession, is thinking that a silver (white) apprentice/initiate sized saber would be great for camping. Adding in a heavy blade to potentially use it as a self defense item as well as a light source.

    Cheers

    Based on what I've been reading from people's posts who have received their sabers, it looks like UltraSabers are up to the May orders.  With few exceptions is seems like that is the time frame they are in right now.  So those of us with June/July orders, our numbers are coming up.

    I hope that means the end of April and start of May. My order was back in April and things are still processing. 2 emails 2 weeks apart without a reply with a 3rd email typed and saved but not sent because I really just don't want to add to their inbox or be a complainer.

    I ordered 2 Apprentice V5 and 1 Dark Apprentice LE V5 as gifts for 3 friends working in hospitals who all have had Covid as a thank you but by this point, they may just be Christmas gifts...

    Yeah, actually, I've wondered about that......seriously; some people here have told me stories about how they've seen others actually get injured from a heavy grade blade.  Has anyone ever had to legitimately use one of those in a home defense situation?  You probably could,  LOL.    :D

    If a heavy grade blade can duel against a bokken, I highly suspect that it could be effectively used to defend oneself.

    Though it sticks in my head how humorous the police report could be, specially if it had sound...

    Or a news follow up...  And in other news, it seems the Jedi are here, Steve Jones when confrounted with a home intruder proceeded to defend himself using a Lightsaber...

    Somebody please help me! I put in my order on June 3, and have literally heard nothing from Ultrasabers since then. I have tried calling them repeatedly, and sent FOUR emails over the last 2 months, and nothing. Nothing to even confirm that they are receiving my messages.

    I know that circumstances are making it hard to fulfill orders right now, but I ALREADY PAID THEM nearly $400 for this product and it's making me seriously uncomfortable to think that I'm not hearing a word from the company.

    Somebody please help me. I don't know what to do anymore, and I'd really prefer to not start treating this as a legal matter.

    First things first, settle down and take a breath....everyone's in the same boat here....

    Prior to 2020, their processing time was about a week, but thanks to numerous factors - Rise of Skywalker mania, Covid-19 affecting their workforce and that of the companies they get their components from, shortages of materials, and so on - their manufacturing process is significantly delayed.  They've been telling people 3-4 weeks processing time, and are trying to hold to that, but these days the average seems to be 6-8 weeks.  Some have been waiting longer than that, as evidenced in the threads.  It depends on what you ordered, and if the components are in stock.  They are not processing orders sequentially, but are processing what they can, when they can.

    Adding to this madness are email and communication issues.  They had a big snafu that went down on May 25, resulting in ALL their emails up to that day being wiped out.  As of now, only one email address to the company works, [email protected], and because of the deluge of emails the company is experiencing, replies have been hit or miss.  Also, the website updates are nonexistent, no idea as to why.

    Basically, it's the Perfect Storm called 2020. 

    One thing I will point out though, is that orders ARE getting processed.   They have not halted any of that, they're just extremely delayed.  When your order is ready to ship, you'll get that Golden Ticket email directly from Ultrasabers.

    If you feel the need to send an inquiry email to see what's up, keep it limited to once a week.  Be civil, and include your order number in the subject.   And remember that there's a chance you might not get a reply.

    Is it right that things are this way?  Definitely not.  And I'm sure that the company itself wishes things were different as well.  This is just how it is for the time being.   Hopefully things will straighten out soon.

    Go to the Reviews page, or search YouTube, there are unboxing videos all over the place.   Best advice i can give is to be yourself, and if the excitement bubbles up, let it.

    Jedi Phoenix said it best. I had to wait 12 weeks for my shipping confirmation. And the best thing to do is not panic and try to not get upset. Yes they are slower then normal but they are still shipping. They also aren't able to run at full capacity. Their customer service is drowning in emails. You can also try sending them a Facebook message, but don't send one everyday. They will eventually reply. I had an immediate change i wanted to add and I took 3 weeks to get a reply. Then it took another 4 or 5 weeks till I started getting regular-ish replies from emails. So dont be discouraged. They are doing about as well as the rest of the world is able to do right now with everything going on.

    I don't understand why they have ad campaigns EVERYWHERE - FB, email, insta, phone ads.. but they're clearly backed up for about a quarter.  I got my May 4th order on July 12th, but a lot of people have been waiting since April.

    Ordered March 11

    Got an automated eMail on July 10 (from shopperapproved.com) -> Ultrasabers Delivery confirmation which said i should either confirm the delivery or contact Ultrasabers.com

    My order is still "processing" in my account.

    Answered to [email protected] on July 13 that nothing has arrived

    Repeated the answer to [email protected] on July 21

    Didnt get any answer but tons of advertisments.

    Seems i have (at least) kind of a schroedingers saber.... Its either gone missing (and no one cares but me) OR the automated delivery mail was a mistake, the saber is not missing but not yet ready (and no one cares but me).

    I dont have a problem with long production cycles (although i really ask myself how long it takes for the saber crystal to grow), but at least any information would be nice (we talk about around 470 $ so i really care)

    I believe that was the automated 2nd party email.   Best bet is to email [email protected]. Put your order # in the subject line and hope for a response.

    As an additional, potential, delay ...  Dallas Area is getting pounded by a tropical storm and is at risk of flooding.

    On the good side that is a temporary thing, bad side it still takes a couples days out of production, maybe.

    You will have to post the full cosplay set when your done.

    I got a reply from US and the Lost Grey and Fulcrum are current 3-6 weeks out while new hilts are machined.  They offered to swap for alternatives but I ordered what I want.  If I wanted something else I would have ordered that.  I'm fine with this wait.  It's just good to have a time frame.  Hope this helps others with these hilts in their orders.


    Thanks for this update! I haven’t received any word on my Fulcrum or Lost Grey and this at least gives me a time frame. Honestly I just want it to come in before Halloween. Seeing as it’s unlikely we’ll be able to do our annual haunted house, I’m hoping to dress up for my residents and I think they’d get a kick out of it :)

    Five weeks today for the Dominix I ordered for my brother....it's fallen victim to the dreaded material shortage.

    Hopefully tomorrow I can get an idea of how much longer it'll be; if it's just gonna be another couple of weeks or so, I'll just deal with it, but if I'm looking at 5-6 weeks more, I'll probably look into an alternative, if it's possible.   Just anxious to make sure everything is still in the green.

    Right now we are all going through the long wait times.  I've ordered nine sabers.  I've only received one so far.  But when you read through the forums, it looks like they are backed up to the April/May orders.  Also, Ultrasabers seems to be getting only limited parts from their machine shop.  All thanks to COVID.  So they are behind on their orders, but chugging through them.  Since I've ordered so many sabers I can deduce by the order numbers that they have a lot to go through.  My first order was on June 3rd and my latest order was July 28th.  Between those two dates there are 14,095 orders, and I hear there are only 13 people working at Ultrasabers.  That's just two months.  Not even counting all the orders before that they are still trying to push through.

    I had to look online for which saber goes with who.  But you can kinda work it out based upon the names.  Like The Fallen is from the game Fallen Jedi.  The Chosen One is Darth Vader.  That sort of thing.

    Back on July 23rd Nicole at Ultrasabers told me that I had the option to split my shipment so I went ahead and paid the extra $13 in shipping to split the Catalyst since they had that hilt in stock.

    Today I received an email from Ultrasabers telling me my order from June 1st is complete, showing the whole order AND, I got a Fedex email with my tracking number and estimated delivery Friday.

    Will it just be my Catalyst? 

    Will it be the whole order with the Dark Initiate LE v4 and the free Initiate and Grab bag sabers?? I guess we will find out Friday!

    Five weeks today for the Dominix I ordered for my brother....it's fallen victim to the dreaded material shortage.

    Hopefully tomorrow I can get an idea of how much longer it'll be; if it's just gonna be another couple of weeks or so, I'll just deal with it, but if I'm looking at 5-6 weeks more, I'll probably look into an alternative, if it's possible.   Just anxious to make sure everything is still in the green.

    That's what I ordered about two and a half months ago, still waiting for it or a response to any of the e-mails I've sent.

    Hello ShadowofArbacas, first off nice Fallen and I like the Funko in the background too.
    Second, embedding Imgur pics can be tricky but is possible if using Windows. What you need to do is open your gallery where the image(s) is and hover your mouse pointer over the image - right click to access the drop down menu and select "Open Image in New Tab". You can the copy and paste the URL from the address bar of the new tab which only contains your image. Then paste that URL into the Img tags in the post editor and remove the "s" from HTTPS  so it reads http://

    So hopefully this works...
    (http://i.imgur.com/fYjuoZ0.jpg)

    You would need to do the above process for each image you wanted to post. Using the URL you had used tries to post the whole gallery page not the image.
    Unfortunately if you're using a device with anything other than Windows (or mobile device) I'm afraid I can't help.
    point for the Fallen and Funko combo!

     I think it was you that suggested that I see if I can switch the hilt.  When I asked she offered that they could split the order.

    Still waiting for a response from customer service, they promised me an update last Wed, and crickets. I sent them an email last week, and another today, and not a peep. I'm really getting fed up. I had some folks that were looking for sabers, and were looking at US, but now they'll be going through someone else. Unfortunately, this will be my last saber with US. If I ever get the thing. Starting to look at disputing the charge with Paypal.

    The ones coming are:
    Guardian with Tri-Cree Blue
    Mystery Box with Sound

    I'm really excited about the mystery box!  I wonder what I'm gonna get?

I have a buddy who ordered the same day, and his also started moving. Both were Mysteries, but I think he had a few extra things ordered as well.

    Yeah that sounds about right. I had mystery boxes from May 11th and May 16th ship last tuesday July 21st and arrive last thursday july 23rd.  I can honestly say that their shipping, with Fed-Ex, is quick.

    Let us know what mystery you receive and good luck.

    ...I am getting real tired of people who ordered mystery boxes getting their sabers before those who actually ordered custom sabers....

    It's most likely because the custom sabers require specific components that they have shortages of.  For the mystery boxes, they can just slap a saber together using whatever's available and ship it out.

    I know, it sucks.  Hopefully things will change sooner rather than later.

    Yeah, I was supposed to get an update a week ago yesterday on my order placed May 5th. The CS rep gave me that deadline himself. Not a word. I sent an email either Thursday afternoon or Friday after hearing nothing, and I sent another email yesterday, a full week after the promised update, and I haven't heard a thing.

    I work in customer relations myself, and if I missed my own set deadlines and failed to follow up with customers they way that this guy does, I'd be (rightfully) out of a job.

    GREAT luck on the Mystery Boxes, getting essentially Frankensabers like that !  It does sound like they are making MB's to order from what's ever available.   Gone are the pre-COVID days when MB's were built in advance and stacked in boxes, waiting for orders (remember the video of Emory standing in front of a huge stack of boxes?)

    It's officially a month since I ordered and still nothing yay! Seems like most people are getting their orders 2 months minimum right now. They really need to update the wait time because they promise under a month but it looks like the 2 month thing has been going on for the better part of the year. I'm fine with waiting but it's annoying being mislead like that considering they know it's gonna take way longer than what they promise.

    Well, this is going to be bitter sweet for most people... I placed an order for a Dark Mantis on the 24th of July and just got the email saying it’s shipping out today.... 7 days later.

    This is amazing! It also proves a theory I had been working on in terms of why some sabers are taking so long compared to others. I can’t speak for mystery boxes or grab bags or anything like that, as those should theoretically just ship right away.

    However, for custom sabers, it looks like they are fulfilling orders based on what they have available in the shop. I imagine their supplies are somewhat limited due to trade restrictions due to COVID. Because of this, they are fulfilling orders on a “able to build with what we have” basis.

    This point is further proven by the fact of my original order being an AEON LE V5 ordered on June 4th never being fulfilled and me having to eventually upgrade my order to the Fallen LE you guys saw in my photos. The Fallen LE took a day or 2 to ship after I paid for it.

    Again, I think this also comes down to how you customize your saber. Do they have that specific soundboard in stock? Do they have that blade in stock or that switch or colored LED etc.

    Anyways, I hope this sheds some light on your mystery. Now the refresh of my fedex page begins 😂

    Damn, son, talk about Good Juju!  Congratulations!

    I think some of the pricier sabers might be more available than some of the others; the Dark Mantis isn't exactly cheap.  Might be a matter of popularity, too.

    Anyways, hope it's a quick shipping time for you!

    Thanks for this update! I haven’t received any word on my Fulcrum or Lost Grey and this at least gives me a time frame. Honestly I just want it to come in before Halloween. Seeing as it’s unlikely we’ll be able to do our annual haunted house, I’m hoping to dress up for my residents and I think they’d get a kick out of it :)

    Fingers crossed these come in time for that.  I'm in Australia and Halloween isn't big here.  But in recent years it's been getting a small upturn in people participating.  Nothing like over there though.

    I just made my first ever order on the 29th, going through these threads makes me nervous! Don't know when I'm going to see it... Sent an email to support regarding my order - Forgot to sign into my account before placing the order so no reward points or tracking lol, I'm so dumb. Not sure when I'll get a response but judging from everyone else's experiences... not anytime soon.

    Ah and for those wondering I ordered an Apprentice LE V5 Sentinel Yellow, Obsidian V4. Nothing fancy, it's my first ever saber. Been wanting one since I was a kid haha.

    Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    You may not get a reply, but you'll get your saber, it just may be a longer wait than you would like; some of the hits are hotter tickets than others, depending on the configurations.   The Apprentice is a nice hilt, though.  Good choice for a first saber.

    I can still get in the building till the 8th, though, and I'm only moving across the alley, so...

    I don't even know why I bother check my email anymore. CS has completely ignored me after giving me a deadline on when they would contact me with more information on my order...I check today, see an email from US only to realize after a split second that it's a promotional email bragging about the 105 free sabers they're giving away...

    All I want is an update...an update that they promised me and have yet to make good on.

    Seriously rubs me the wrong way

    Well, this is going to be bitter sweet for most people... I placed an order for a Dark Mantis on the 24th of July and just got the email saying it’s shipping out today.... 7 days later.

    This is amazing! It also proves a theory I had been working on in terms of why some sabers are taking so long compared to others. I can’t speak for mystery boxes or grab bags or anything like that, as those should theoretically just ship right away.

    However, for custom sabers, it looks like they are fulfilling orders based on what they have available in the shop. I imagine their supplies are somewhat limited due to trade restrictions due to COVID. Because of this, they are fulfilling orders on a “able to build with what we have” basis.

    This point is further proven by the fact of my original order being an AEON LE V5 ordered on June 4th never being fulfilled and me having to eventually upgrade my order to the Fallen LE you guys saw in my photos. The Fallen LE took a day or 2 to ship after I paid for it.

    Again, I think this also comes down to how you customize your saber. Do they have that specific soundboard in stock? Do they have that blade in stock or that switch or colored LED etc.

    Anyways, I hope this sheds some light on your mystery. Now the refresh of my fedex page begins 😂

    I've come to the same conclusion.  I've ordered nine sabers so far.  Two of them were shipped out within a day.  The rest have had a long wait, most likely due to supply issues.  (F.You COVID!)  Also, I've read through the forums and it looks like they are still getting limited supplies and they are taking care of older backed up orders first.  I'm totally fine with that and I think it's very fair that those people should get their orders first.  But logic dictates that if they have a specific saber sitting around and enough product to fill a new order, then they will ship that one out to help clear out the queue.  The truth is, everyone has ordered custom sabers but there aren't enough parts to make them.  My first order was in early June.  My last order was on July 28th.  If they do order numbers sequentially there were 14,095 orders between my early June and late July order.  Thats over 200 orders to fill per day and less than a dozen people working at Ultrasabers to fill those orders.  And that doesn't even count all the orders before June.

    Been waiting since May 12 and I received my $75 mystery stunt lightsaber earlier today. I love the dark catalyst hilt, but the color not so much. I'm cool having a flashing light sword (white color blade). I did found a green disk I owned and some thin clear light blue sheets. Now, I'm loving my saber even more since I'm able to change to any unique color I want. Just wish they give you a set of color disk for getting a silver color blade.

    This is my EXACT situation. I entered an order on May 15, 2020 for a 75$ Mystery Saber. I figured this is an easy order to fulfill, however I received the receipt email and the charge in my bank account but countless emails, Facebook messages, and forum posts have gone unanswered, likewise the order does not show up in my pending order list for my profile....I want to give the benefit of the doubt, but it is difficult when I am watching custom build saber orders being completed and shipped in this thread.

    If anyone has experienced this and has any insight on what to do please help. I really don't want to have to escalate actions over a mystery saber.

    I was initially very conflicted about this post, but after consideration I have decided to come back.

    I received my mystery saber today, after receiving the shipping notification a few days ago. It should be noted that I was just as frustrated about this as others here, and that I noticed how certain orders and customers were getting more attention from the customer service staff than others. I emailed them maybe 4 or 5 times over the last few months with not a single reply being received.

    With that said, I am here to post a positive review because I did receive a decent saber for my money (Cyan Overlord, Stunt). Most notable however my shipping label was printed at 3AM in the morning, to me that signifies that they are doing the best they can to process orders. I can appreciate that and I do appreciate their handwork in shipping my order. To those who have not received theirs just yet, just be patient like people were telling me, I know it's not easy.

    Hey guys, I ordered my First Saber, Basic Sound/Stunt-GD Blue-Spectre   ;D ;D ;D  , It does show it's processing, Although the Money/Receipt was taken/received within 30 minutes, I Ordered it on June 27th of this year, so I know it's only been a little over a month and some have waited 2 months+ and Some are still waiting. So I Was just wondering if anyone had any updates on how things are progressing over there? Or Maybe about their Supplies on The Spectre Model? I only recently ( 2 days ago ) Sent in a Email with my Order # and Fourm ID and Am now waiting
    (Im) Patiently  ;)  For my new Centerpiece <3

    Trying to wait patiently but my patience has started to wear thin. I ordered a Saber on June 3rd as a birthday present for my 13 year old and as most people know children have even less patience. I’ve also sent 5 emails with no response and tried calling numerous times. Their phone message says to email them for a quicker response which is a joke. Now when I call the phone number it just acts like it’s been disconnected or something. If it wasn’t a birthday gift I would probably just tell them to shove it. As a business owner myself I must say they have very poor customer service. I’ll not be doing business with them in the future.

    Fingers crossed these come in time for that.  I'm in Australia and Halloween isn't big here.  But in recent years it's been getting a small upturn in people participating.  Nothing like over there though.

    Halloween is one of my favourite holidays. I always like to make my costume (plus it provides good practice for future cosplays). But ya I've heard that Halloween isn't as big in other countries as it is in Canada and US

    Unfortunately, many of their orders are backed up due Covid. My order was place back on May15th and I am still patiently waiting. These things take time. I would much rather they take their time to make a good saber rather than to rush it out with little care. Your order will come. Patience is a virtue that is best taught through experiences like this.

    So here is my main concern. I'm Coming up on 12 weeks now for my order and have heard nothing back about it. The 2 other people that went into this order have also heard nothing back about it. We put in for a $1300+ order and have heard nothing about the products our collective money went into.

    In total we are getting 9 Sabers and as I've been reading on this forum, I see others who are around our wait time. Most however are waiting on just 1-3 sabers. Our order is for 10 so I'm concerned how long our order is gonna take and the fact that I can't do anything to make it easier, because they won't respond. I would like to see which sabers are holding up the order and see about changing them around or if I could get the giant order shipped in parts instead of as a whole. I've got Friends that put money down and family I plan to gift some too asking questions that I can't answer. This forum page has given me more information into the current state of the company and also helped to alleviate my concerns during the wait. At the same time however It's increases my concerns when I think about everyone waiting on just one or two sabers or those who are waiting on a MB that should be one of the simplest things for them to ship.

    Good news today woke up to find my order from may 14th has finally been processed will take another 6-8 days to get here but my sabers are finally on there way!

    Im just so happy to finally get to this point although the wait has been long and tough it hasn't dampened my enthusiasm for the products, Gone back into lockdown where i am so this will give me something to do with a unboxing vid and for my daughter to finally get a saber she can call her own without pinching mine lol.

    I wonder if multiple orders will be combined.... I pre-ordered a Princess about a month ago, and then about a week ago, ordered two more regular sabers. Given lead times and shipping, I imagine it would cost less to ship one box, but are they known for combining multiple orders placed at different times?

    I understand your concern, and I don’t blame you for it, either.

    Really, though, the best advice we can give is to send an email every week or so with your order number and a BRIEF problem statement in the subject line, and with a polite, brief inquiry in the email body.

    Finally got a reply from CS today. I asked to see if there was a saber that was holding up my order and how long the wait time would be until completion. So out of my order the Aeon LE v3, Dark Sentinel LE v5, Dark Sentinel v5, Apprentice LE v5 and Empress are delayed and are expecting to have them in 3-4 weeks. So total time of my order is going to be around 16 weeks as I'm on week 12 now. The 4 MB and the free initiate are hopefully all set and ready to go. I'm just gonna wait it out instead of trying to coordinate with US and my friends on what sabers they want to switch too and what ones are actually in stock at the moment. If it was one saber maybe, but trying to change 5 sabers on my order is just too much hassle.

Seems from this thread that they've started getting through mid-May's orders recently so I hope to see my saber in the next 2 or 3 weeks. Patience is a virtue, and these sabers are absolutely worth the wait!

    An update on my order.

    I ordered a Stunt Box and extra blade on May 17.
    I got a reply on July 27 to an inquiry on my order sent on June 15.
    July 28 I got an email that my order was complete.
    July 31 my package arrived at my door.

    This weekend was Gen Con, so I finally opened the package yesterday and am happy with the results. It's nothing special and not what I would have picked out for myself, but I picked it up entirely to see it in front of me and help me decide on what I do and don't like for my custom build.

    I like the spare blade I picked out and had delivered. My wife liked the blade that came with the stunt saber better. So that alone is very useful in picking out our blades for our custom build. There are things about the hilt we like and don't like, some things I never would have thought to even think about if it weren't in front of me to see.

    It was a long wait, but now I can go back to looking at parts and going shopping for my custom builds.

    Trust me, no one's cool with the current situation....I think 2020 is going to be the new euphemism for when things go totally off kilter: "Oh man, it was okay for a while but then things went completely 2020."

    Waiting since April, though...my sympathies, man.

    6 weeks as of tomorrow for the Dominix I ordered.   I've been told it's one of the hilts affected by the shortages, but no word yet on what time table I'm looking at.  To be honest, though, it's low on my radar, I've got other things in the foreground to dwell on (back to school chaos, a tropical storm rolling in tomorrow, and so on and so on and so on......)

    Thank you for the update on your response regarding the Dominicide. I ordered one back in early May, and have received zero response to any email inquiry. At least you got an update that the delay is due to supply/COVID related things. Its frustrating, but being thrown a bone every now and then does help.

    Grand Master (Black) w/ Silver blade, Grand Master (Red) W/ Artic Blue blade, quick disconnect for dubble bladded action, and a Mystery Box. Made the mistake of ordering stunt sabers for the Grand Masters instead od the Diamond or Emerald sound. So to avoid confusion, or cancellation, I later ordered the Obsidian sound board v4 for both.

    Thank you for the update on your response regarding the Dominicide. I ordered one back in early May, and have received zero response to any email inquiry. At least you got an update that the delay is due to supply/COVID related things. Its frustrating, but being thrown a bone every now and then does help.

    No problem! I ordered mine back in early/mid May myself!

    Hurray!!!!  I know it’s not (yet) the email you want, but I’m so glad you got a response!  Aria was the one who worked with me to get my Frankensaber upgraded, too.

    Nothing yet but I am hopeful!!

    Okay everyone!  I just received my Mystery Box that I ordered on June 9th.  It ended up being a Dark Catalyst with sound.  On the same day I received The Guardian that I had ordered on July 28th.  So I got my first and last saber.  For everyone who is worried about it, just relax.  Yes, it's taking longer than normal.  We've all been spoiled by two day shipping from some places.  But yes, I can get on the band wagon and say that even though you may not get an email response, you will get your sabers.

    Here are links to my YouTube unboxing videos.

    At 12:43 am, I got my shipping notification for my Phantom Initiate V4.
    I am kinda numb right now but I hope it gets here sooner than Saturday as estimated. I am curious to see if this real or fantasy.

    Week 17 ....

    after a while of waiting and taking a break from this forum... i FINALLY got shipping number (not date yet) for my Phantom Initative V4.

    this... this has been long and hard. and i hope the wait was worth it. but i do know this for sure...

    i wont be coming back to ultrasabers because of this experience.. only after a while i suppose and maybe if one day they fix their act but for now i rather pay the other guys who do CHARGE more, but have better customer service.

    this is just my news. its good and bad. its been so so sO LONG and i hope no one else has to wait as long as i did.

    i wish you guys luck. hope you enjoy your products. stay well. i might come back if i get it and i really like it (or if i don't..)

    anyway.

    may the force be with you.

    Well, figured i could re-order another Consular later so I changed my order to an Archon 3.1, keeping the Dark Princess of course. Now I just have to patiently wait for it to come in and look through my stuff for my spare graflex clamp.

    Seriously, you ordered in April when EVERYONE was bored and stuck and home with nothing better to do than buy $#!% online, on top of ordering during the worst year in my living memory for being allowed to ANYTHING, the economy is crippled and the work-force is diminished, and you wanna blame US for slow deliveries? #$%&, dude. I can't even go to Wal-Mart and buy a damn bag of pretzel rods.

    Unfortunately I didn't receive any answer from US until now and to be honest I'm a bit tired of asking and I really don't feel good about bothering them every week because I know that they have more than enough to do. Otherwise this will result in getting a wrong saber but maybe I just have to look at this as a lesson for the next order ...

    This forum is provided and hosted by Ultrasabers, but it isn't moderated by them; there's a separate group of individuals for that which do not work for the company itself.   If you had a post deleted, its content must have been some kind of violation of the rules.  I don't know what and I'm not gonna speculate why because I'm not a mod and didn't see the post in question.

    bro.... it wasn't even that. it was the customer service.

    i went 14 weeks with NO INFO on where my $150 package is or whats happening. no one responded to my emails. I'm a first time buyer and i just wanted to /know/ what was happening and where my purchase was. but they couldn't even do that. others complained bout their service too so I'm not the only one,

    call me "childish" or throw shade whatever.. but when i made a big purchase like that.. lead times 4-10 weeks or whatever it may be... i WAITED quietly till i got concerned. yea. I'm gonna be upset. I've never bought from them before, i didn't know about this forum till much later, i was in the dark for WEEKS.

    you compare a bag of pretzals to a $100+ order... i think your not comprehending the situation. But in the end i gladly waited even more once i FINALLY got a resonce after week 14 about where my order was.

    i came here with good news. i said i would consider giving them another chance later. don't kill the vibes, bro~ yeesh.

    wish yall the best, still.

    Well, seeing as how this is not a customer service forum, and it’s not monitored by UltraSabers, I don’t blame the mods if that’s why they removed your post.  It helps NOBODY.  Rage posts are strictly prohibited.”

    Everyone is telling you these issues you are reporting here - no one here works for ultrasabers or can help you. You might as well knock on your next door neighbor’s door and tell him, he will be just as helpful.

    Sorry if I was harsh. You are one of many noobs that has been griping about customer service. And as a forum elder it gets really old hearing all the negativity. No I'm the type to blindly believe that US is without fault. I've had my dealings with them. It is my conservative estimate that for every buyer that we see on the forum there are another 6 that we never hear from. So you can imagine how much bitching US customer service is currently dealing with. Unlike most customers I have a very good idea of all the processes that saber parts go through before they are assembled and shipped out. If there is a snag in any of....50 different suppliers delivering to US, that means any of 50 different ways your order can be delayed.

    I've posted here not too long ago that 2020 is what is casting shade. Go back 2 years ago and you could have had a saber in hand within a week of ordering with all proper notifications.

    The reason I compare your order to a cheap bag of pretzels is because pretzels are easy to produce. Wal-Mart doesn't even have their own brand stocked, and I've been to several Wal-Marts in the area. Nada for over a month. So my point is, if the simple to produce things aren't even making it to distribution, how much more so will a customized lightsaber made of precision machined parts be to get shipped on time?

    It truly sucks, and I feel your pain, but this is not entirely US's fault. I'm happy you got some good news on this front. Provided all this stupidity ends in a timely fashion, I recommend waiting until about next March to try another order. This will avoid the usual slowdown due to the influx of Christmas orders. Just feel lucky Disney won't be releasing another crappy SW movie this year.

    Hope you'll be happily spinning soon.

    I'm still waiting for my May 11th order.  I understand that 2020 has been the perfect storm of issues that has delayed lots of orders.  The part I have trouble with is the complete silence from customer service.  I would have an easier time waiting if I knew that 2 of my hilts are out of stock and will be another 3-4 weeks.  I have sent 1 polite e-mail a week for the past 7 weeks and have heard nothing.  I see others getting responses and offers to switch hilts to get the order out quicker.  I haven't even been given the chance to change my order.  I'm just venting like everyone else here.

    I do at least have something Star Wars to help distract me, a new Premium pinball machine that arrived this week.

    I can't say with any amount of certainty, but I heard one of their main CSRs is no longer with the company. I don't know how many they have/had, but I know that Marlena busted ass to answer customer emails. So with her gone, that may explain why customer service has taken a turn for the worse.

    Indeed it is another Frankensaber. A Manticore with a Renegade emitter. Absolutely a sick looking build, congrats!

    If this keeps up I can legitimately see some of us ordering MB's just to possibly score a unique hilt. Certainly opens up the possibilities.

    Thanks, I thought the hilt was the Manticore but I couldn't find the emitter, I love the cut-outs.  Now having checked it out I think these Sabers are worth the price and may go build one with sound or maybe just order the premium Mystery with sound.  :-\

    thank you, dude. I def know what you mean about the negativity. This is just the only spot i can "vent" about it cause if i tell my family they just dismiss it as "nerd toy who cares" LOL (they arent wrong but it means a lot for me being my first "big purchase" for something i love which is star wars)

    i just wish there was more info like you provided about whats going down and how long. A simple mass email saying "orders are delayed indefinitely" would've been SO simple to send out or even the info about the parts that's are missing, just something for us consumers so we can "worry less". cause in the beginning i thought processing meant they were processing my PAYMENT, so i was super confused at first. Just a simple communication fix would be great, ya know?

    either way, I'm still EXTRMELY excited and i hope my lightsaber will shine some light on this company again. I have hopes. :)

    Wish you well, bro

    I have placed two orders since this whole pandemic has started, the first one was right at the beginning and my order took about a week to arrive. My second one was placed on 6/24 and is still possessing which is really infuriating. Both times I ordered 2 sabers. And over the last month I have sent atleast one email trying to get an update a day, and I have yet to get a response. Hell, I sent in my grandmaster in for repairs and it came back in just over a week.

    thank you, dude. I def know what you mean about the negativity. This is just the only spot i can "vent" about it cause if i tell my family they just dismiss it as "nerd toy who cares" LOL (they arent wrong but it means a lot for me being my first "big purchase" for something i love which is star wars)
    You're welcome. I completely understand your frustration, and am glad that you understand mine. As you can see by my signature, I have been a happy customer of US for some time. You can always look at the bright side: you could have bought from another smith, paid way more money, and been waiting this long on average. :o

    Well, as I tried to state, these are reasons I suspect. I don't work for US, so I don't have all the answers.

    I can tell you they are worth the wait. I just wish you could have spent the extra $100 or so for sound. The first time that puppy lights up and you hear that iconic <snap hiss>.....uuuuuuhuhuhuhuhuhuh. So good. Just for the sake of convsation, what did you order?

    I am fairly certain that you will love it once you finally receive it.

    LMAO...first time I saw Star Wars was a re-release in theaters back in 1978, 1979, somewhere around there.  I was only 2 or 3 at the time, it was the second movie I ever saw in the theater and I was never the same.  I know exactly what you mean.

    My dad had bootlegs of 4 & 5 from HBO, my first theater experience was at the age of 2 for ROTJ. SW can pretty much be summed up as my first love. Anything metallic and cylindrical was potential saber.

    Hi!

    I wake up today and was super exited because i recieved an e-mail from US about ''Delivery Confirmation''

    At first I though it was my tracking number, but apparently it is the third party e-mail :( this week it's my 8th week waiting, Laura told me thou that I'll have to wait for another 3-4 weeks because my hilt is out of stock. And that was 2 weeks ago.

    My doubt is: What do I do with this e-mail? If i haven't recieved my saber I don't have to answer anything right?

    I'm still waiting for my May 11th order.  I understand that 2020 has been the perfect storm of issues that has delayed lots of orders.  The part I have trouble with is the complete silence from customer service.  I would have an easier time waiting if I knew that 2 of my hilts are out of stock and will be another 3-4 weeks.  I have sent 1 polite e-mail a week for the past 7 weeks and have heard nothing.  I see others getting responses and offers to switch hilts to get the order out quicker.  I haven't even been given the chance to change my order.  I'm just venting like everyone else here.

    I do at least have something Star Wars to help distract me, a new Premium pinball machine that arrived this week.

    No response on my orders from May the 4th.  I agree, I'll be patient for an INCREDIBLY long time if you communicate with me, but I've tried 6 times now to get a response to an e-mail with no luck (each 2-3 weeks apart) and it's been frustrating.

    I have much more confidence since I signed up for this forum, but I still would have liked an e-mail blast that said something.

    I definitely believe I'll get my order, and I know they are a great company.

    Got an update on the Dominix LE v5 that I'm waiting on...not from Aria, oddly enough; usually she's Quick Draw McGraw when it comes to replies, hope she's okay.  This one came from Dannielle, and it looks like the result of an audit of their outstanding orders.  Whatever the reason, it's an update and for that I am thankful.

    Because of the pandemic affecting all business worldwide, there's a bottleneck in obtaining the parts and materials they need for orders.  They expect to have the Dominix back in stock in 3-5 weeks.  In light of that, they gave me a couple of options.  If I can wait the 3-5 weeks, they'll ship my order out as soon as they can and they'll give me a 20% coupon with no expiration date that I can use toward a future purchase.   Or, if I'd like to go swap for the Dominix V5 or the Dark Apprentice LE V5, they'll get my order out in 1-2 business days.

    Decisions, decisions.....actually, this one was easy.

    The alternatives they offered are fine, but I really prefer that Dominix for my brother.  And if it goes the full 5 weeks, that'll only be mid-September or so, and this is a Christmas gift.   I've waited this long, I think i can handle a few weeks more.  Not to mention.....a 20% off coupon with no expiration date?  I can definitely put that to good use!

    One last thing on this subject....some of you who have been waiting a long time for your orders and have been really frustrated by the wait.  Let me share with you the last part of Dannielle's email to me, I think it might as well be addressed to all of us.  This is word for word, copied and pasted:

    "Again, we greatly apologize for this delay.  It is Ultra Sabers bread and butter to be able to get our custom lightsabers in our customers hand with great speed.  It is extremely disappointing to have this pandemic tarnish the record we created and have upheld since we started making sabers 15 years ago.  Rest assured this is a temporary hiccup and we will be back to shipping custom lightsabers at lightning speed before you know it.  Thank you for your patience with all this."

    They're trying, guys.  It may not be pretty, and it may not be perfect, but they're trying.

    Just sent another email to the info address since now I'm going on 3 weeks since my promised update with the CS Rep that had initially answered my inquiry with nothing but complete silence. I'm patient, but at this point I'm beginning to get angry. Since the last time I had communication from US, I've ordered 3 sabers from a competitor, 2 of them arrived, a 3rd saber arrived and was returned as my saber and another guy's got their shipping labels mixed up, and I ended up receiving a really great saber, just not the one I had in mind, and the correct saber will be here on Monday.

    Yet, still not a word from US about my order placed on May 5th, not even after promising an update almost 3 weeks ago.

    I'm really trying to fight the urge to file a dispute with Paypal, but I'm not sure how long I'll be able to do that.

    Hey, so they sent me an audit e-mail today.

    The Aeon LE v5 I ordered is out of stock. 3 to 5 weeks before it will be available.

    The offer was a Dominix v5 or a Dark Initiate v4 w/Windows & A/V Switch, or wait it out.

    I couldn't wait. So I accepted the Dominix v5. This is supposed to be my Diamond Saber, so it should keep me busy for a while. Should be a few color combos and such to play with.

    I also have some blade supplies coming from one of the other guys. Gonna make a couple Photon Blades and maybe some Blade Plugs, if I can cut the blade material nicely enough. I need to seal my wooden display shelf and then I'll have somewhere to place my sabers that is not the back of my closet.

    So, basically a 'Heads Up!' that the Aeon LE v5 is out of stock for now.

    Growing up in the era of mailing in an order (with attached postal money order voucher) and waiting 3-6 months for it (which is forever when you are under 10) with no indication if the order was even received let alone when it might come, and now being a collector of Hot Toys which are now preordered up to two years in advance (and the store I get them from having you pay in advance) with constant delays and no idea when they might actually release and then waiting months after the release in Hong Kong to make it to my local store has made me patient for good things.  This era of instant gratification has made all you kids soft.

    Now excuse me while I get back to my rocking chair on the porch and yelling at kids to get off my lawn while I watch for the postman.

    Of course, I don't think that's the case here, people are getting their sabers and that's awesome. Looking forward to getting mine. And I'd be fine with the wait if CS would stick to their own established timelines and give me an update when promised

    "Again, we greatly apologize for this delay.  It is Ultra Sabers bread and butter to be able to get our custom lightsabers in our customers hand with great speed.  It is extremely disappointing to have this pandemic tarnish the record we created and have upheld since we started making sabers 15 years ago.  Rest assured this is a temporary hiccup and we will be back to shipping custom lightsabers at lightning speed before you know it.  Thank you for your patience with all this."

    They're trying, guys.  It may not be pretty, and it may not be perfect, but they're trying.
    Thanks for this update. I’m guessing I won’t hear from them anytime soon—I ordered my Fallen LE on June 26th—but it’s good that they are reaching out, which is all we can ask for.

    The delays vary, depending on what you order.  Ultrasabers has been hit with material shortages for quite a few of their hilts and components, not to mention their work force has been impacted, all as a result of the world pandemic.   Some people have had to wait 6-8 weeks for their order, other longer, others less.  They're also sporadic with replies to emails lately; that's a whole different issue.  I should also point out that this is not how US usually operates; veteran customers will tell you that before 2020, their turnaround time was only a week or so.

    As for if the sabers are worth it, I would say absolutely, but I'm just one person.  If you have your eye on a particular saber and have the funds, I say place your order and be aware that you might end up waiting a while for it; weeks, perhaps a few months.  But they are processing orders and shipping them out.  It's just taking a lot longer than anyone would like.

    It's been said on here before, but there's nothing like the first time you turn on a sound saber, is there?  And a dark catalyst for a mystery box is pretty sweet.  Congrats, man.   8)

    Orders are going out on an irregular schedule. Some get them within 2 weeks, others are waiting more that 12 weeks.
    The average seems to be 8 to 10 weeks due to this new COVID world we are all living in.

    As for worthwhile investment...  I can't say. I think that is a more personal thing. Depends on what you are looking for.

    For me, they are absolutely worthwhile.
    The hilts are all beautiful and sturdy.
    Some need a minimum of tinkering to help them. I had to secure the batteries in couple hilts. Just Velcro Tape.
    And I buy them to play with. Which can include full contact heavy sparring or just my little nephew trying to chop up a fallen tree in my back yard (So far the tree has resisted the light saber.... Must be strong in The Force). Heavy Grade blades are must for me just to take the abuse. Mid-Grade is great for the more coordinated folks out there.
    The hilts are solid and have easily taken the abuse.

    I have no complaints about the products.
    The wait time is not optimal, but then this is now COVID world.
    The customer service, in my experience has been slow to get to me, but once we are talking things are resolved quickly. And they seem to be catching up, I think.

    I would not consider these perfect in any way, but for me they are very worthwhile and I am saving up for my next order now. If I can figure out what I want to order first from my list.

    Is the delay really as long as the haters say? And is buying from Ultrasabers a worthwhile investment?

    Right now, the wait times vary depending on the hilt model. My May the 4th order from March 19th took ten weeks and one day from order to arrival. My most recent order was placed on July 27th and is scheduled to be dropped off today. The former was four sabers, two of which are an extremely popular hilt model, so the delay was due to waiting on additional hilts. The latter was for two grab bags, which are random stunt hilts with cosmetic defects. One of my friends ordered a grab bag after me and already received it, getting a v3 initiate in blazing red.

    As far as are they worth it? It depends. I get Ultrasabers because of the price point, and I use them as beater sabers. I do choreographed saber fights, and we’re rough on our sabers. Case in point: my fight has a dual-saber “force pull”, which equates to my partner and I throwing/tossing our hilts at one another. I’m not gonna sweat dropping a $70-80 dollar stunt hilt. If it breaks, it’s easy to fix. On the other hand, if it were one of the $500+ hilts from “The Other Guys”, I’d be more nervous. For a Shelf Queen? I’d probably end up going with The Other Guys for the canon designs.

    Hello there fellow european.
    Do not worry about your order. You will get it eventually. They are backed up from the last "sw" movie, their promotions and so on. On top of that, the covid situation makes it hard for them to get their materials and they work smaller shifts around the clock to get back on their feet and still maintain social distancing for the workers.

    I do have to say that I am getting more and more impatient as it has been 2bmonths (ordered on June 5th) since I ordered my black Fallen. I LOVE that hilt so im definitely waiting haha. Worst part is I have 2 other sabers that are not functioning and I ordered replacement parts with this order (wish I could at least get those). But I understand things are crazy right now and I keep telling myself this is something I dont exactly need haha no matter how much it would make this quarantine easier. That and trying to find a job haha was laid off a week before Christmas then the world stopped.

    P.S. Anyone know of any companies in the California Bay Area that are hiring for a Payroll Specialist (worked for a payroll company for over 12 years before they axed me because I was the only one out here in Cali) DM me!

    P.P.S. Sorry for the solicitation these hiring freezes and rejections are starting to take their toll mentally... wish I had a shiny new saber to take my mind off things haha

    I have 2 fallens (crimson and Azule) that i order 2 months ago. My MB order i placed on the 3rd came in 4 days. I think they are trying to have the Fallen made as fast as possible. But it will be some time for them to be back in stock it seems. Hopefully soon

    Just wanted to try to ease minds a bit. I know the turn around is pretty long but it is so worth it.
     I don't know details of which ones we ordered without going back to look. (I have 6 teenage sons that work to save up money to build their collection.)
      Our first Ultrasaber order was 2 years ago, and we received within 4 weeks.  I ordered 3 sabers in January (2020) and received them at the beginning of May. I placed another order for 4 more, plus other accessories on June 28th. We haven't received and, from experience, we're not expecting for another month or so. It's not just COVID issues in the US but also the challenge of finding suppliers as some of their parts came from China.
       I understand the impatience of getting something that's as big of an investment - believe me, I'm asked daily by at least one of my guys to check the status. But there hasn't been a time we've been disappointed with our order. It's worth the wait! (And- for first time orderers-  they aren't scamming you! )

    Your English is fine; no need to apologize.

    Here is a longer answer to your question...

    This is a group of UltraSabers customers and fans, not a way to reach UltraSabers customer service.  Nobody here works for UltraSabers.  We can give advice, but we can’t provide specific information about your order because we don’t have access to any of that information.

    ORDINARILY, you would probably have your saber in your hand already, because their turnaround time was typically 1-2 weeks.  Lots of us old-timers have that as our default experience with UltraSabers.  HOWEVER... in early December of last year, thanks to all the fan excitement surrounding the last Star Wars movie, a new Star Wars TV show that apparently should have been titled “Baby Yoda” instead, the release of a new Star Wars video game, the Christmas gift-giving season, and a winter sales promotion, they began to have so many orders that they fell behind.  In January, there started to be issues with parts and components, because of the COVID-19 issues in China, where some of the electronic parts are manufactured, and they fell a little more behind.  In February, the fallout from COVID-19 started to have effects here in the United States, and some of their more-local parts suppliers fell behind, not just the ones in China.  As time progressed, and as social-distancing measures needed to be put into effect in the workplace (causing more than the usual scheduling issues of getting the right technician, the right saber, the right parts, and the right tools all at the right workstation at the right time, multiplied across the multiple suppliers used), the backlog continued.  On May 25, they lost all their emails prior to that date, and that has caused its own issues.  They have staff working 24x7 trying to catch up from the backlog, and some progress is being made, but they are nowhere near back to normal yet.

    Their overall delivery times have slipped quite a bit; although some folks still get their sabers in a week or two, some sabers take three or four weeks, and some take eight weeks or longer.  Note that the orders are NOT worked in a First-In-First-Out queue order; there are too many dependencies on various parts, technician skill sets, machine/workstation availability, and Lord-only-knows what else for that to be even close to efficient.  There have been entire books— heck, entire college courses— written on efficient manufacturing-process scheduling, so there’s no way I can give a full explanation here; just know that it’s very complicated.

    The response times on the customer service emails have slipped quite a bit, too.  All I can say is to keep sending POLITE emails to [email protected] with your order number in the subject line, but I wouldn’t send an email every day; that will just clog up the Inbox and make it harder to find the emails that need an answer other than “Yes, we have your order, and it’s in the processing queue, but I can’t tell you when it will ship, because we are waiting on <fill_in_the_blank>.”  There’s nothing wrong with wanting an update, because you have sent them your money; just understand that right now, getting an update, or your saber, is going to take longer than normal, and longer than any of us would like.

I sent another email to the info address just hoping to get an update, and still nothing. Not gonna lie, really disappointed with this company and have purchased several sabers from one of the other guys since my initial order with US, and 2 of those already arrived, and the 3rd is due in tomorrow.

    Still waiting on a response from Ultrasabers, and kind of find it to be a slap in the face that I can't get an update on my order which was placed nearly 14 weeks ago, yet I keep getting emails promoting their current sales

    I am with you. and the worst part about it is I sent my grandmaster in for repairs after this whole thing started and i got it back in a week. My last full order was placed in may and was 2 sabers and it I got it in a matter of days. So the fact that my second order has been waiting for 10 weeks is getting tiresome. I have purchased several sabers from them over the years. and they all came in within a reasonable time.

    ORDINARILY, you would probably have your saber in your hand already, because their turnaround time was typically 1-2 weeks.  Lots of us old-timers have that as our default experience with UltraSabers.  HOWEVER... in early December of last year, thanks to all the fan excitement surrounding the last Star Wars movie, a new Star Wars TV show that apparently should have been titled “Baby Yoda” instead, the release of a new Star Wars video game, the Christmas gift-giving season, and a winter sales promotion, they began to have so many orders that they fell behind.  In January, there started to be issues with parts and components, because of the COVID-19 issues in China, where some of the electronic parts are manufactured, and they fell a little more behind.  In February, the fallout from COVID-19 started to have effects here in the United States, and some of their more-local parts suppliers fell behind, not just the ones in China.  As time progressed, and as social-distancing measures needed to be put into effect in the workplace (causing more than the usual scheduling issues of getting the right technician, the right saber, the right parts, and the right tools all at the right workstation at the right time, multiplied across the multiple suppliers used), the backlog continued.  On May 25, they lost all their emails prior to that date, and that has caused its own issues.  They have staff working 24x7 trying to catch up from the backlog, and some progress is being made, but they are nowhere near back to normal yet.

    Their overall delivery times have slipped quite a bit; although some folks still get their sabers in a week or two, some sabers take three or four weeks, and some take eight weeks or longer.  Note that the orders are NOT worked in a First-In-First-Out queue order; there are too many dependencies on various parts, technician skill sets, machine/workstation availability, and Lord-only-knows what else for that to be even close to efficient.  There have been entire books— heck, entire college courses— written on efficient manufacturing-process scheduling, so there’s no way I can give a full explanation here; just know that it’s very complicated.

    The response times on the customer service emails have slipped quite a bit, too.  All I can say is to keep sending POLITE emails to [email protected] with your order number in the subject line, but I wouldn’t send an email every day; that will just clog up the Inbox and make it harder to find the emails that need an answer other than “Yes, we have your order, and it’s in the processing queue, but I can’t tell you when it will ship, because we are waiting on <fill_in_the_blank>.”  There’s nothing wrong with wanting an update, because you have sent them your money; just understand that right now, getting an update, or your saber, is going to take longer than normal, and longer than any of us would like.

    Comprehensive, but I would also add a word of warning given their statement that they saved up a whole year to afford this purchase - because they are in Germany, they should expect an additional expense (levied through FedEx) for local import and duty charges. Ultrasabers aren't responsible for these as they differ by country (they do mention this in the shipping T&Cs though, so you were warned but it's easy to click past).

    For example, I was charged an additional £40 import tax on my Apprentice LE v5, about a week after delivery. If the user is cash-strapped, the delay in delivery may work to their advantage as they can plan to save up for these additional fees.

    Quite right. I always assume that by now everyone knows about import taxes. And I shouldn't. It can add quite an impressive amount...

    Lol, its not the meds. Ive come to figure out that there is no such thing as grown ups...
    My college roommate had a similar theory. When presented with the logic, "The only difference between men and boys is the price of the toys," he countered with:

    "The only difference between men and boys is how well they hide their immaturity."

    I have the same issues whithout the meds ;)
    I got off of them when I was your age. Before that I had been on them since the age of 6 or 7. And due to the nature of tolerance, my dosage had to increase as I grew. By the time I attended university I was on 80mg of extended release Ritalin.

    Darth, my best friend growing up had a similar experience. Always enjoyed his company more when he was off the meds. The Ritalin just seemed to smother his fire.

    But i remember being younger and looking up to guys my age, thinking they had it all figured out.
    Now im that age, and i know it's all a lie!! Lol

    Got an update on the Dominix LE v5 that I'm waiting on...not from Aria, oddly enough; usually she's Quick Draw McGraw when it comes to replies, hope she's okay.  This one came from Dannielle, and it looks like the result of an audit of their outstanding orders.  Whatever the reason, it's an update and for that I am thankful.

    Because of the pandemic affecting all business worldwide, there's a bottleneck in obtaining the parts and materials they need for orders.  They expect to have the Dominix back in stock in 3-5 weeks.  In light of that, they gave me a couple of options.  If I can wait the 3-5 weeks, they'll ship my order out as soon as they can and they'll give me a 20% coupon with no expiration date that I can use toward a future purchase.   Or, if I'd like to go swap for the Dominix V5 or the Dark Apprentice LE V5, they'll get my order out in 1-2 business days.

    Decisions, decisions.....actually, this one was easy.

    The alternatives they offered are fine, but I really prefer that Dominix for my brother.  And if it goes the full 5 weeks, that'll only be mid-September or so, and this is a Christmas gift.   I've waited this long, I think i can handle a few weeks more.  Not to mention.....a 20% off coupon with no expiration date?  I can definitely put that to good use!

    One last thing on this subject....some of you who have been waiting a long time for your orders and have been really frustrated by the wait.  Let me share with you the last part of Dannielle's email to me, I think it might as well be addressed to all of us.  This is word for word, copied and pasted:

    "Again, we greatly apologize for this delay.  It is Ultra Sabers bread and butter to be able to get our custom lightsabers in our customers hand with great speed.  It is extremely disappointing to have this pandemic tarnish the record we created and have upheld since we started making sabers 15 years ago.  Rest assured this is a temporary hiccup and we will be back to shipping custom lightsabers at lightning speed before you know it.  Thank you for your patience with all this."

    They're trying, guys.  It may not be pretty, and it may not be perfect, but they're trying.

    Heard back from Dannielle, got confirmation of the 20% off coupon, and verification that they'll ship the Dominix out as soon as tbey can.  No word on the Princess, yet.  So now, it's a waiting game, times two.

    I am glad I found this forum.  I feel a LITTLE better knowing I should eventually get my son's saber.  I hate knowing it may still take a lot longer before it gets here.  i have emailed and called and so far have not had a response from them. 

    There has to be another company he can order from.  If there is, I am sure he will find it.  I just don't know if he will spend his money on this company again or not.  Guess will wait and see if he thinks it is worth waiting many months for his saber.

    Like others, I am getting very irritated with all the sales emails when he has not received his purchase.  I know I can (and will) opt out of them... it is just the fact they are pushing and pushing sales and can't complete the orders they already have.

    Glad you got an update. Still haven't heard back from Brent on the update that he promised me 3 weeks ago. I emailed the general email account again last week, still haven't heard anything. Sadly, after this I think that US has lost my business going forward. I'll probably stick around here because I like the community here, but I can't see myself giving this company my money again after this mess.

    I'm sure other companies are suffering the same set backs. After collecting for 6 years I've never been disappointed with US. Yes on rare occasions there has been the odd oops, but they always fix it, and promptly. I've dealt with other saber smiths. One in particular has issues with delivering what was promised, delivering in a timely fashion, and charges more for lesser quality.

    Okay, I know I've been singing the company's praises, but I can't defend that.  Not about the general email, I know that's a crap shoot...but for that guy, Brent, to leave you hanging for three weeks straight after he told you he'd get back to you?  Unless he's on a severe sick leave or is no longer working there, there's no excusing that.  Even if he has no news, he should at least be checking in.

    Update-no-update: still nothing, I've lost count to the number but I'm 0 for
    • in terms of responding to my 5/17 order.  2 parts and 1 MB... I thought I'd get it in time for my birthday next week, but that's looking highly unlikely.

    On the plus side, with corona the way it is, I wouldn't be showing them off at any bday get-togethers anyway, so it's all good.

    OH THE AGONY!!!

    Hi!

    I've got bad news today.

    Well, this week is my 9 week waiting for my saber, and today I've recieved an e-mail from US telling me that because I'm from mexico they can only accept pays via PayPal, I paid trough credit card, and my order has been cancelled. :(

    Don't get me wrong, they told me that they will refund the 100% of the money, but my question is; How long does it takes to be reflected? anyone knows? and... is it worthy to make another order (now paying via PayPal) will I have to wait again 4+ weeks?

    they also say that they will be able to proceed with processing my order if I do the right payment method.

    Sounds like if you switch to PayPal your order will be completed immediately. I’d just reach out to them to clarify.

    What EagleSentinel97 said, reach out to them for sure and I can't imagine that if you switch to paying with Paypal that you'll have to wait weeks for a new, separate order to be put together a second time. Though, it is a bit silly it took 9 weeks for them to find out that you paid in a method they didn't support.

    Yeah, I agree. I'm about to shoot them another email since I've still heard nothing after going back to the general email. It's the lack of communication that's bugging me. I can wait for the saber. It's something that I want for Halloween/cons to really complete my costume. Hell, if for some reason it's not available for me to use for this Halloween, it's ok, I've got a backup plan. But the thing is, they took my money, and have effectively ghosted me. Definitely unprofessional on the individual employee's part, and a bad look on the business.

    All I can say is that I have faith that you WILL get your saber.  I know it feels bad to have no communication, especially after they’ve gotten their money; there’s no denying that.

    they also say that they will be able to proceed with processing my order if I do the right payment method.

    I got a similar email... on the 4th week after placing my order I sent a polite email asking about the "Processing" order status, and they responded saying that they cancelled my order "we are only able to accept payment for orders shipping to Mexico via PayPal", Why after 4 weeks?...interesting Customer Service. (also I checked on AMEX and the payment was accepted  :o)

    I responded the email asking when will the refund be applied, because I still want to get my sabers, this time paying with PayPal  ::)

    I guess if this is a way for US to get some "air/space", another "4 weeks"  maybe... still waiting for another comment from US
    At least I'm not the only one in this situation  ;D

    UPDATE: US responded  :o
    If/when I place my new order using PayPal, they offered to manage my new order so that it can get it shipped within 3-5 business days for sabers currently in stock... I hope, lets see

    Mostly correct, I’d say.  It’s only a holiday TO YOU if you choose to celebrate it.  I’ve never heard of most of those, and I’ve certainly never celebrated them, either. Quite the education, I’d say.

    Anyone any idea where they are up to order wise? I ordered 2 in mid May as a birthday present (birthday was end of July!!) and have received nothing.
    The no answer to my call or any of my emails is bugging me. I'm out of patience at this time and close to cancelling the order and getting it elsewhere. Good Customer service is not difficult, I deal with customers every day.

    Honestly, it depends on what you ordered.  They're not processing orders sequentially, and they're facing a lot of problems getting parts and components in stock.  It's gotten to the point where they're apparently giving out the exclusive Frankensabers as mystery boxes (wbich is a great solution, i think). 

    That being said, it seems like quite a few early May orders are getting shipped.  Really, it's just a matter of the waiting game.

    if someone has recently posted updates about the Empress, forgive me. I just received an email from US today and wanted to pass along what it said.

    I had ordered an Empress empty on 23 Jul and today was told by Laura that the Empress I wanted was out of stock and yet I could select from the Crimson or Azure style of that hilt if I didn't want to wait.  She had apologized for the order taking longer than the stated 4 week lead time on the website, which I considered a form letter introduction as in my case it has been less than 3 weeks.    Anyway, I was not surprised that the version of the Empress resembling the movie prop is the one that is out of stock.  I thought to myself, hmmm what would the azure hilt look like as an alternative?  I am not really after replica color anyway, when it comes down to it.

    Anyway, that's an update on the Empress.

    So randomly cause I wanted to see what would happen (Yeah that's the real reason) I ordered a trio of Grab Bag Sabers on the 9th of August.

    And they are on the way now. The 12th of August.

    Which tells me that they are boxing up what they have, but some of the specific hilts are things that they do not have yet.

    I am waiting on my Diamond Dominix v5 (formerly an Aeon LE v5), a Dark Sentinel Staff v4 and an Obsidian v4 Dark Sentinel v5.

    So it seems like they are trying, but supplies are just not there for the special one of a kind sabers that we all want to have the day before we even ordered them.

    On the other hand, if you want a basic, random saber that may or may not be the perfect thing for your collection, they have a few of those.

    They have been slow in contacting me and replying as well, but as far as I can tell they are making the attempt.

    Have faith and trust in The Force.

    And now that the semi-positive rant is over....  I hope one of the Grab Bags is a Silver one!  :P

    Honestly, it depends on what you ordered.  They're not processing orders sequentially,
    This.

    I'm still waiting on EMPTY hilts (Consular and Lost Gray) from 4/10.

    Well, maybe I just ordered one Grab Bag because I want to have one of those beauties soon to have at least one saber I can do some work with :D
    I chose the silver blade with color discs and I'm curious how that will work out!

    This message was moved from the Summer Raffle Thread

    No idea if I'm entered or not - I was distracted by double-checking the availability of the Spectre hilt and forgot to put my username in the Comments box. So I emailed [email protected] to tell them and which order number it went with, but as is expected these days I've had no response.

    Please email Ultrasabers again with the subject line of: Checking availability of xxxxx Order#: 1234567 and add your username in the body of the message to [email protected] and give them time.

    I got a similar email... on the 4th week after placing my order I sent a polite email asking about the "Processing" order status, and they responded saying that they cancelled my order "we are only able to accept payment for orders shipping to Mexico via PayPal", Why after 4 weeks?...interesting Customer Service. (also I checked on AMEX and the payment was accepted  :o)

    At least I'm not the only one in this situation  ;D

    UPDATE: US responded  :o
    If/when I place my new order using PayPal, they offered to manage my new order so that it can get it shipped within 3-5 business days for sabers currently in stock... I hope, lets see
    +1
    I was waiting to pass the 4th week, and received one of those emails...
    My order status is now "refunded", and now I'm planning on placing the order again, maybe adding another saber  ;D ...

    I got that email today as well, and 2 hours later I received a sort of update from CS. He told me that my hilt is currently out of stock, and that he can go over options with me to get the order out quickly, or I can wait for the saber to come back in stock. So I replied asking what my options were, and if they had an ETA for the saber I ordered (which you can still order on the site, btw).

    Not sure what I'm gonna do, I kinda had my heart set on the saber I ordered, anything else will just be settling and to be honest, a major disappointment.

    If you get an Emerald with sound, you might as well spend a few extra dollars and get the Diamond board.  Seriously, look at the numbers.  Having only the one physical interface and having light effects and sound effects integrated is a huge bonus for the small price difference.

    So, the website updates don't seem to mean much in terms of improving order tracking at our end. I assume they meant at theirs, but that's kinda worrying if their tracking system was that whacked in the first place.

    I was hoping we might get other results than "Processing" or "Complete".

    Or am I wrong and others are seeing "Building" or even "Nearly There, waiting on an LED"?

    Sadly, it means nothing at all.

    This is a third-party email that gets sent out based on UltraSabers’ OLD delivery times, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with your order status.

    Finally got her headstone in place, though, so there's that.  Five months later...talk about impatiently waiting.

    I ordered on June 16th, but part of the order was a Princess, so I knew it wouldn't ship until this month. What does have me concerned is the extra Manticore emitter I ordered. A few people posted videos/pictures of Manticore bodies in their mystery boxes - I hope that isn't due to a shortage in emitters.

    I did receive my June order, but it was only a Dark Initiate v2 with a couple Mystery Boxes. I had it within two weeks.
    I believe higher end, more popular hilts are taking a significantly longer time than normal.

    My July 13th order just shipped thursday, a Dominix v5 Diamond, but it is a substitute for the Aeon LE v5 I ordered as the Aeon was 3 to 5 weeks before they would have stock at the time they contacted me (August 7th).

    If there is an issue on their end, they will contact you and regardless of how frustrating it is, they will ship your saber... eventually.

    I got an e-mail last week from US saying that the empty black Empress I ordered on July 23rd was out of stock, and if I wanted to substitute the azure or the crimson version they could send it right out. Got the azure Empress hilt today.  I know it's not black like Rey's but I will make do.   So anyway, some of the Empress hilts are available now.

    Sadly, the site suggests 6-10 business days... I wouldn't have selected this if delivering to the UK as the FedEx option is both considerably cheaper ($33 versus $64 for a single saber) and faster (3-6 business days). However, the site is annoying in that the USPS option appears first and you have to enter your country/postcode and click "Update Total" to see the different shipping options.

    Note also you will have to pay import tax on the order to the courier after its delivered. For a single saber of ~$200 cost, I paid an additional £40.

     So most of my orders from late May and early June. Mostly MB’s, nothing special. I really do love every single one of them, same as my son and nephew! Now that I have a decent arsenal now and found that I could use a coupler or two. And different blades.

    My question is would my parts order going to take the same lead time as an actual order?

    I’m hoping not, but expecting the same time frame. Halloween is right around the corner.

    This is all you WILL see until you get your Golden Ticket.  Yes, it stinks.  Welcome to 2020.

    UltraSabers is shipping sabers every single day, from what I can tell just here on the boards.  We know they are working literally 24x7 to fulfill orders.  As unpleasant as it is for you to hear this, you will just need to wait some more.

I had to laugh the other day cuz my stepmom and I were talking about my order and somehow in 3 months i NEVER told my dad that I bought them and he was like "you bought lightsabers? Why? You're 23 years old what could you possibly need those for?" And I dead panned looked at him and replied "YOU introduced me to star wars. YOU created me." And my stepmom added, "would you rather it be drugs cuz it could be drugs" 😂😂😂 (my mom still has no idea and is under the impression that she talked me out of it)

    All in all im just very eager to finally recieve my sabers lol

    Finally heard back from Customer Service after our correspondence last week. Not really good news. Basically the only option they gave me was to downgrade my saber to a Dark Apprentice, which is not the saber I want. And to be honest, if that's my only option I'm just going to cancel my order and stick with the sabers that I got from the other guys.

    And if I do have to cancel, they're crazy if they think I'm paying the restocking fee...especially since they don't have the saber I ordered in stock, yet are still showing it being available on their site now.

    Update.

    Ordered: May 28th

    Emailed: June 26 to address concerns and upgrade shipping.

    Contact: July 8th. Was informed that my order did not ship within posted lead time. Required 2 additional days for associate to have "printed order in front of me" before we could discuss upgraded shipping.

    Contact: July 15th -16th. Associate apologised for delayed response and instructed me on how to upgrade shipping. Back and forth ensued to exchange information.

    Contact: July 21st. Associate reached out to me to let me know that my shipping had updated and to offer to exchange the sabers I had ordered for two other sabers that would ship right away. I told the associate I would rather wait for what I had ordered.
    Associate told me that they would hold my order until reafy to ship in 3-4 additional weeks and would email me with a tracking # once they shipped.

    Today: August 18th is the 4 week mark. As of 3:20PM I have received no tracking number or notifications about my order.
    I am expecting (hoping) to hear something soon.

    I will update again with any news.

    Finally heard back from Customer Service after our correspondence last week. Not really good news. Basically the only option they gave me was to downgrade my saber to a Dark Apprentice, which is not the saber I want. And to be honest, if that's my only option I'm just going to cancel my order and stick with the sabers that I got from the other guys.

    did you go through info@  or did you get connected with a CSR directly?  I know everything's supposed to go to info@, but I've tried multiple times and it's been crickets.

    Good news everyone, after many weeks and emails I finally got a response to my order issue (not getting the pointed tip I paid for and my order entirely missing the free initiate saber I qualified for and put the code in for). They had me send pictures of what I got and that they would decide what to do from there. After a few days of no update I emailed again, but several days after that a package arrived, and it was containing my missing saber, and the pointed tip.... attached to an additional 40 inch heavy grade blade like I had gotten on my fancy saber originally! It came with the regular initiate blade too, but that the big one is much more epic. Maybe that's the standard response to tip mistakes since they do glue the threads, but it's appreciated nonetheless. The free initiate is in Adegan silver, which is actually super cool because I'm a theater-history major, and have easy access to Lee Filters that can make this have any color I want now!  edit: oh lord for some reason the images are gigantic lol never mind that then

    Keep trying [email protected]; I know from personal experience how frustrating that can be, but doing anything else will simply gum up the works for everyone, including you.

    Unless they had anticipated this sale before the current situation. Someone stated they have already paid for avertissement on their promotions, this one could be part of them.
    Although, many people got dark catalysts as MB those last months...

    Alright, they are really working as fast as they can.
    Just got my shipping information for that. Tracking says it should arrive next friday - I'm curious if this is going to happen. But I'm totally excited for it!

    Instead arriving on friday my package came two days earlier - I'm just overwhelmed over the speed!
    From putting my order into their website until holding the package, travelling from Texas to Germany it took six days and one hour. That's just incredible!

    I was really exited about opening the package (made an unboxing, which I still have to cut and made some pictures, which I have to upload), but while doing it I had to realize, that they did a mistake with the order.
    I ordered and payed for the silver blade and color discs because I wanted to try how this works out. They send me the color discs but instead of silver I got a green blade. It really looks great, but still I'm a bit disappointed that two of two orders did not go well. I'm going to write them to ask for a refund, but I think there will be no answer as before. I totally understand what they're struggling with but nethertheless it's cutting down the joy for a bit ...

    Sucks that they didnt get it right, but I'd see what they offer you to try to fix things first before asking for the refund.  A lot of places, if they're worth their salt, will bend over backwards to get back in a customer's good graces if they mess something up.  See what happens.

    Yeah, this is worth the effort to send emails... this should be made right somehow.  Be patient and persistent, and keep that order number in the subject line.

    The Fallen, with the black hilt, is one of their hot ticket items that's on backorder.   I had ordered mine on June 1 and waited 6 weeks - the only reason it didn't take longer is because someone else who had ordered the same one swapped it out for a different color hilt, and the CS rep helping me out happened to be checking at the right time and was able to grab it.

    Delays aside, you will get what you ordered.   Just need to play the waiting game.

    For me I don’t care what color the hilt is. I placed the order expecting it to arrive sooner rather then later and I have sent several emails trying to get an update because I need the order before September 1st for work. So the whole no response is what it really driving me nuts.

    I ordered a Fallen LE on June 26th.  I’m just riding it out, for now.  At the current rate I’m seeing here, feels like probably October.

    I've been kind of working with one particular CSA. I say "kinda" because he drops off the face of the earth sometimes for weeks at a time. When it had been almost a month since his self imposed deadline for an update had passed, I emailed the info address again, and sure enough a couple days later he got back to me.

    With an offer to downgrade my order, which I have no interest in doing.

    I definitely think so. For an empty hilt I could see maximum 2 weeks depending on the style. Since they do have to fabricate each hilt.

    In normal times I'd say yes. But in covid times, with parts shortages and such, it really depends on which hilts you ordered. Some are notoriously backlogged. (Black and LE fallen, Black and LE empress, ...)

    I received an E-Mail today, er yesterday, regarding my Dark Sentinel v5. Apparently they are out of stock at this time and expected back in 3 to 5 weeks. So September 9th to 24th ish before they get back in stock before they can assemble the Saber.

    I am cool with the wait, and honestly had planned for it to be about that long anyway, my estimated time to shipping was September 29th which was an educated guess. Ordered on July 20th. I am not pleased with COVID world but my powers here are limited.

    The offer was a Dark Apprentice v5 or a Dark initiate v4 as alternates. Both nice sabers, but I am sticking with my Dark Sentinel v5.

    So passing on the info incase others get lost in the junk e-mails or such

    Much less impatient at this point because I know that the sabers I have ordered are coming, just delayed, and because I have a Diamond Controller to figure out for now.

    My curiousity is quite peaked as I have won a second prize in the Summer Raffle, a random hilt with random features and obsidian sound. I hope that they get creative with the color of blade (and FoC if they grant me that) as well as the features they add to the hilt. In theory this could be a Guardian Blue Intiate v4, or a Hot Pink Omen, the possibilities are myriad. The way they stressed RANDOM in the raffle also makes me think thay may just bash something together out of whatever parts they have on hand, which could be really interesting. We'll see later on.

    AARGH!  They got me again!  I hadn't planned on getting another saber, but after my son got his 2... 
    I fell for the flash sale.  Been wanting a Catalyst as a duelling saber, as I find the Fallen to be slightly awkward.  So I ordered a Dark Catalyst with a HD 32" blade (for contrast, as the Fallen has a mid-grade 36").  Stunt, Adegan Silver with discs.  Might get a coupler in the future for a freakish staff.

    Update
    Ordered May 28.
    Sabers: 1 Dark Sentinal V5, 1 Dark Sentinal LVEv5

    Reached out yesterday. Got this response...

    "I apologize for the continued delay in your order. We apologize for any inconvenience with this. Due to the current global pandemic affecting all business worldwide there is a bottle neck on obtaining the necessary parts and materials required to make our custom lightsabers. We are exhausting all resources to get this resolved and will get your order shipped out asap.

     

    Please let me know if you would like to make some changes on your order to have it shipped out faster or if you would like to continue to wait for your original order."

    This was after I was told they would be "ready to ship" in 4 weeks... 4 weeks ago.

    No dates this time, just "Asap"
    I hate this. I've been patient and optimistic, but the experience is trying hard to sap all the joy out of it.

    What's worse is these were gifts that the recipients know about and I just look like a chump making excuses for US at this point.

    I hope I get what I ordered, but even if I do it's unlikely at this point I'll bring my business back to US.

    I got an email from my CSA today in regards to my Dark Sentinel V5 LE, and he said that they are expecting to get that particular hilt back in about 3-5 weeks, which is fine by me. I ordered on May 5th, what's another month?

    I even asked about adding FOC as when I ordered I didn't include it because being the newbie to this I was, I didn't understand what it was. But after getting my sabers from the other guys that come with FOC, I don't think I want to be without it.

    So I'm a little past 14 weeks for my First order. It's a big order with roughly 9 sabers so I expected it to take longer. That being said I got some good news today. I won a fourth place prize in the summer raffle, and the saber, my Emerald Manticore that qualified me for the raffle, shipped out today. Should see it by Sunday if all goes smoothly. My Nintendo Switch also arrived today as well. Finally got one after months of being sold out.

    Well, I can confirm Ultrasabers is working hard everyday. The new flash sale is for ready to ship sabers. I ordered a Guardian with Diamond controller yesterday evening. Got a shipping notification with additional FedEx tracking info just over 24 hours later. This is Awesome! I ordered 3 $75 mystery sabers for the summer raffle and am excited to get them but I know there are many issues and am not stressing and have not emailed them at all. I am trusting in the force.  Very excited for this to be my first saber! Thanks Ultrasabers!

    I ordered a dark catalyst stunt saber (had been debating between that and a catalyst as my next saber, anyway).  Not quite 24 hours for me.  I was cynically wondering if they really were ready to ship.  This is encouraging!

There's a mystery box waiting too as part of that order... maybe they'd let me use the 20% discount to ship it separately?

    Agreed - if that or the Grand Master was an option I would have jumped at it! Or a Fallen, but we know the issues there.

    I'm not saying any of those options are bad-looking blades, but I love the ornate workmanship on the Spectre and the Grand Master. The others are largely cylinders with some bling at one end, except the Guardian (and the Monarch, but that looks like it belongs in a sex shop). Good hilts, but not a vast improvement in manufacturing over my Apprentice LE v5.

    I've asked them about the "instead of the coupon, ship the mystery box separately" option, will see what they say.

    It's a very nice blade, but for me the US standouts are the Fallen, the Spectre and the Grand Master. So ornate. Worth waiting a bit longer for... I ordered the Spectre with Lite Sound as that's perfect but quick disconnect in case my choice of Consular Green (Silver FOC) doesn't work out.

    The Spectre is just about at the top of my wishlist for future purchases, the Grand Master isn't far behind.   Happy to say I already have the Fallen.

    I like the Guardian because it's my favorite Obi hilt. And upon closer inspection, I find out it was accurate enough for my tastes xD
    I'll end up with a Fallen or two eventually.
    As for the Grand Master I'm not that big a fan of Satele Shan, but it's a nice hilt.

    The only thing against the Grand Master is a review vid I saw that said it was top-heavy and didn't have much actual hilt to grab onto while spinning. But since I can't twirl a blade worth a damn anyway (I'm basically Luke in his first training session on the Falcon), that's acceptable.

    I ordered a dark catalyst stunt saber (had been debating between that and a catalyst as my next saber, anyway).  Not quite 24 hours for me.  I was cynically wondering if they really were ready to ship.  This is encouraging!

    And OMG, it just shipped!  And I noticed that they aren't using USPS anymore.  While I am a big supporter of the Postal Service, I don't want to wait another 8 days for delivery.  Woo-Hoo! 

    While this was listed as one of their "ready to ship" sabers, they still had to assemble it to my (admittedly spartan) specifications.  I'm happy.  Hopefully, this is a turning point for the company.  NOT that I'm planning to order anything more than parts for a long while.  I'm eyeing the 3.5" tsuba from TCSS to make a lightshinai.   ;D

    Yeah, i had my heart set on the Graflex, the ten year old inside me was upset at first, but the more i looked at the Guardian, the more i fell in love. Darth Paradigm on Youtube has a good review on it.
    His enthusiasm for the hilt is infectious!

    Well I decided while waiting for my first order (14 weeks and counting with no contact) I would see if the Guardian on the Flash Sale is actually in stock.  So I ordered a Guardian with a Guardian Blue blade and Lite sound.  Maybe that will tide me over until the big order gets here (if it ever does).

    Don't see why not.  The sound from one or both sabers would be coming from the same place: the vented pommel.  Not sure how FOC would look.  I totally plan on doing this, though with unlike hilts.

    Well, I have just checked to be sure they are implying the non-engraved will be ready earlier, as the wording was ambiguous... also, they offered a free circular blade plug for my MB, but I should already have one coming via the 350PLUG option and (tbh) I can 3D print plugs... but checking if this means I'll get two.

    As suspected but since my main blade doesn't have FOC anyway this wasn't an issue - does the blade hit sound still register though? Or is that what you meant? To me, FOC means the colour change, not the blade hit sound.

    I'd think that they would be linked.  The lockup is done with the button, the FOC happens with blade strike.  So yeah, I'd imagine that the blade strike sound wouldn't really work well.  Swing works fine.

    Well, they said the non-engraved one will begin fabrication immediately, but that COULD still mean they need to wait for the hilt to arrive... paranoid now lol. They did comfirm I'd get two plugs (my 350PLUG one plus a freebie to make up for the $10 difference in cost between the engraved and non-engraved versions).

    Quite simply, nobody knows, and guesses range from “shipping in under a week” (there have been several of those lately)  to “way later than you could possibly believe or should ever expect” (and, sadly, we still have a few of those stretching out).  Given that it’s a Mystery Box, my money would be on the shorter end of that scale, but— again— it’s just a guess, informed by nothing more than watching what people post here, and my own experience of having a one-week turnaround time on a Diamond upgrade.

    Just ordered a stunt v4 Apprentice in Sunrider's Destiny with a Spectre pommel w/D-ring. Kinda going for something (very) vaguely reminiscent of the shape of the LEGO lightsaber pieces. Like I said, though, very vaguely lol. Also it just seems like a cool combo.

    This'll be my third saber. Now the wait begins...

    Not quite before April 17th, but i ordered a spectre on April 23rd. They recently told me they arent gonna have the parts for 11-13 weeks, and to either wait or choose between a few sabers.

    Begrudgingly swapped it for a guardian. At this point I just want a saber, even if I did pay for a saber more expensive than the one i'm getting.

    Update on Lost Grey and Fulcrum:

    The 3-6 week wait from around 5 weeks ago has now become an additional 16-18 week wait.  Bad news for all waiting on those hilts.

    OOF.  I just got the dreaded out of stock notification from Danielle.  My Fallen LE is now another 10-12 weeks.  I have been given a number of options, and I am tempted to go to the Shock LE (though my heart, and my backstory will suffer for it).  Question:  Does anybody know if any of the soundcards can be programmed from iOS? I got rid of my Mac and only own an iPad. The answer could make a difference in my choice. I’m leaning to waiting out my Fallen, but I got it with Obsidian Lite and have been 2nd guessing myself.

    No joy on iOS.  You need the USB connectivity (which does not exist on iOS or iPadOS), and you need the software written for that operating system.  Right now, the software exists ONLY for Windows and MacOS.  This is one reason I will be replacing my MBP once it will no longer run the latest version of MacOS (but not the only reason).

    Well I decided while waiting for my first order (14 weeks and counting with no contact) I would see if the Guardian on the Flash Sale is actually in stock.  So I ordered a Guardian with a Guardian Blue blade and Lite sound.  Maybe that will tide me over until the big order gets here (if it ever does).
    Well at least the Flash sale sabers are actually in stock.  Ordered on Friday, had a tracking number on Sunday and it was handed over to FedEx today.  Should get it on Thursday.  Ordered another couple today.

    It would be nice to hear this from US themselves.  Still no e-mail response to any messages.

    The exact wording from US:

    ...due to the current global pandemic affecting all business worldwide, there is a bottle neck on obtaining the necessary parts and materials required to make our custom lightsabers.  We are exhausting all resources to get this resolved and will get your order shipped out asap.  It looks like both the Lost Gray and Fulcrum that you ordered is currently out of stock due to this supply bottle neck.  We have been told by our manufacturer that we should expect to have both the Lost Gray and Fulcrum back in stock within 16-18 weeks.

    It's very much a template letter (seen previously in this thread) with just the name of the hilt and expected duration updated.

    Yeah, pretty much what I figured.  This is likely the only saber I’m going to buy, so I replied to them and told them I would hang on for my Fallen LE and just hope I get it before Thanksgiving.

    I’m highly considering trying to replace my Dominicide order with a pair of Dorinians and a coupler. I really want a saberstaff but the Dominicide design isn’t my favorite, so I’m really leaning toward a swap. Hopefully a CSR gets back to me before the flash sale ends...

    I got the same template letter letting me know that the Battle Ready Fallen (Black) should take another 9-11 weeks.

    I wish the 20% off coupon could be applied to this current order, but I suppose restricting it to future orders does make it more likely that customers will order again.  The bottleneck might clear faster if they updated the site to be accurate to these numbers, or at least showed the Fallen as being out of stock.  It says it's in stock right now.

    I'm gonna hang on, though!  It was a graduation gift, and since my commencement has been pushed back to December, maybe it'll arrive in time.  :D

    Okay, wow ... Thanks for sharing this! This is something very different to the "3-5 weeks" estimations which we could read for the other sabers. Until then I have time enough to think if I want to upgrade them with sounds or not. But this really hits hard ...

    Yep it's hard news.  This really puts it in the possible 2021 receipt basket.  As for sound, I initially ordered as a stunt but decided that they really needed to have sound to have the whole experience and its not like these are any hilts.  They are Ahsoka's so should be done right.  I went obsidian V4 so I have the option to mute the sound.  If I were you I'd consider the same.  Alternatively an empty and pay for something like a neopixel install.  But that's not cheap either and adds even more time to the wait for the finished set.

    Just to let everyone know, I sent a follow-up email to Cade after I got the template letter, and he sent a very courteous response within a day of my email.  We're not just talking with robots; the Ultrasabers staff are reading our emails and responding, even though it must take awhile to sort through the mountains of letters they get every day.  There's hope yet!  :)

    I have given up on these people. Contacted my CC to reverse charges as well. BBB rating is "F" and customer ratings are 1.25 stars. I am through with Ultrasabers.

    I can't speak from personal experience, but from what I've heard from long-time customers who have had good interactions with US, the situation this year is way, way worse than the normal Ultrasabers experience.  This may not be the best time to judge them as a scam, especially with the pandemic going on.

I understand that a lot of people have ordered during quarantine, but I just wanted to make sure my order wasn’t lost or forgotten, considering how big and expensive it was. Anybody else experiencing this? :-[

    Quick question for those who've modified their orders to get something sooner rather than face delays - did the order change on the site under My Orders? Or did the new saber just show up?

    I told them I would accept the Spectre without engraving but it's still showing as with on the order form. I don't know if they would bother with such a minor amendment, but it also makes me a little paranoid that the change hasn't made it from customer service to manufacturing and I'm still gonna end up waiting 11-13 weeks for the engraved one... :/

    Yeah well its a combination of my only two not-so-great experiences with UltraSabers.  Almost 60 sabers, and the Archon 3.1 was the only one that had a malfunction.  Before that, I broke my Manticore and sent it back, they fixed it for free (not even a warranty issue) and had it back to me in 9 days.
    My Empress came with the wrong color switch, so I felt confident sending back both the Archon 3.1 and the Empress.
    Unfortunately, now they're MIA.

    I'm in the same boat.  15 weeks on a $1350 order and no response from customer service even with weekly e-mails.  So far the only e-mails I've gotten from US are the automated ones.  I understand they are busy but 1 status e-mail a month doesn't seem to be too much to ask.
    Others in the forum have gotten responses from [email protected], but I'm not sure how.

    For the sake of comparison, Katrina was a Category 5.

    You obviously have not read anything in this thread, if you are honestly asking this question.

    This is a group of UltraSabers customers and fans, not a way to reach UltraSabers customer service.  Nobody here works for UltraSabers.  We can give advice, but we can’t provide specific information about your order because we don’t have access to any of that information.

    ORDINARILY, you would probably have your saber in your hand already, because their turnaround time was typically 1-2 weeks.  Lots of us old-timers have that as our default experience with UltraSabers.  HOWEVER... in early December of last year, thanks to all the fan excitement surrounding the last Star Wars movie, a new Star Wars TV show that apparently should have been titled “Baby Yoda” instead, the release of a new Star Wars video game, the Christmas gift-giving season, and a winter sales promotion, they began to have so many orders that they fell behind.  In January, there started to be issues with parts and components, because of the COVID-19 issues in China, where some of the electronic parts are manufactured, and they fell a little more behind.  In February, the fallout from COVID-19 started to have effects here in the United States, and some of their more-local parts suppliers fell behind, not just the ones in China.  As time progressed, and as social-distancing measures needed to be put into effect in the workplace (causing more than the usual scheduling issues of getting the right technician, the right saber, the right parts, and the right tools all at the right workstation at the right time, multiplied across the multiple suppliers used), the backlog continued.  On May 25, they lost all their emails prior to that date, and that has caused its own issues.  They have staff working 24x7 trying to catch up from the backlog, and some progress is being made, but they are nowhere near back to normal yet.

    Their overall delivery times have slipped quite a bit; although some folks still get their sabers in a week or two, some sabers take three or four weeks, and some take eight weeks or longer.  Note that the orders are NOT worked in a First-In-First-Out queue order; there are too many dependencies on various parts, technician skill sets, machine/workstation availability, and Lord-only-knows what else for that to be even close to efficient.  There have been entire books— heck, entire college courses— written on efficient manufacturing-process scheduling, so there’s no way I can give a full explanation here; just know that it’s very complicated.

    The response times on the customer service emails have slipped quite a bit, too.  All I can say is to keep sending POLITE emails to [email protected] with your order number in the subject line, but I wouldn’t send an email every day; that will just clog up the Inbox and make it harder to find the emails that need an answer other than “Yes, we have your order, and it’s in the processing queue, but I can’t tell you when it will ship, because we are waiting on <fill_in_the_blank>.”  There’s nothing wrong with wanting an update, because you have sent them your money; just understand that right now, getting an update, or your saber, is going to take longer than normal, and longer than any of us would like.

    Thank you for your response. I just wanted to confirm that you wanted to switch to the Scorpion WITHOUT claws. Please let me know and I will asisit you on making these changes and shipped out to you ASAP.

     

    Thanks for choosing Ultra Sabers.  Please feel free to email us here if you have any other questions or concerns.

    No, they offered me the SPECTRE without engraving instead of my order of WITH engraving.

    I mean I guess they both begin with S but so does the answer to S in "What the F is this S?!!"

    EDIT:I've apologized to the CS rep for my harsh email in case this is a mistake. Not her fault. But I don't want a Scorpion...

    After 17 weeks of waiting, I have received the "Golden Ticket" email today. They are being sent with FedEx which is great since USPS troubles had me worried about delivery.

    I ordered two Apprentice v5; one with an amethyst blade and the other with a blue blade as well as a Dark Apprecntice v5 LE with a red blade. All with sound.

    While I have emailed 4 times over the course of 17 weeks, I had no response to any of those emails so this is a great turn around on a subject that I was very close to canceling.

    Now, with the estimate of a Monday delivery to my employer, I wait for a little longer...

    While I have emailed 4 times over the course of 17 weeks, I had no response to any of those emails so this is a great turn around on a subject that I was very close to canceling.

    Now, with the estimate of a Monday delivery to my employer, I wait for a little longer...

    I know it sucks getting no reply, but that Golden Ticket trumps everything; congratulations.   We look forward to your review and photos/video.

    I also ordered the Apprentice V5 with the amethyst blade 11 weeks ago and just got my “Golden Ticket” today! I have also emailed 5 times with no response so to see the shipping email today was pure bliss! It’s an overdue (because I didn’t know it would take this long to arrive when I ordered) birthday present for my husband. He knows I ordered something for him and that it is taking a while to get here, but doesn’t know what! It’s his first saber! I have been a reader on this forum for quite a while as I waited for my purchase to ship and I hope those of you who have ordered and have yet to receive them will be getting good news soon! My heart is with you all!

    Hurricane Laura may have it's say in the whole process too which would be according to the rules of 2020 so far. Hopefully everyone in Texas is OK and the sabers get a minimal delay without getting knocked around too much.

    Pictures and maybe a video will be a thing once I get those boxes in my hands!

    I'm in the same boat.  15 weeks on a $1350 order and no response from customer service even with weekly e-mails.  So far the only e-mails I've gotten from US are the automated ones.  I understand they are busy but 1 status e-mail a month doesn't seem to be too much to ask.
    Others in the forum have gotten responses from [email protected], but I'm not sure how.
    Well after posting this yesterday I did finally get a response from Laura at Ultrasabers.  The reply was to an e-mail on June 22 (6 weeks after my order was placed).  She offered to split my order and send the 2 Grand Masters first and then the freebies and Lost Grey/Fulcrum would ship when available.  I replied yes and got a response right away.  So I'm at least getting part of my order.  I've also ordered 3 sabers from the Flash sales that have already shipped.

    She did say that the Lost Grey/Fulcrum will be back in stock in 16-18 weeks.  Maybe they need to source some more Kyber crystals.  :P :)

    Got an email today about my Sentinel/Apprentice letting me know Sentinel parts are out of stock. I was given the option of waiting 3-5 weeks for the parts and a 20% off coupon, or taking an Apprentice LE v5 (basically same thing, shorter, and gold) instead, and if I picked that, it could ship in 1-2 business days. 

    I emailed back and opted for the swap. I was hoping for the full size, but I think the gold will look sweet with the Sun Rider's Destiny color, and will evoke the look and feel of the upcoming High Republic stuff.

    No word back on Princesses, but I mentioned in my email asking about that order as well. Will update if I hear anything.

    So I am waiting on two orders yet.

    A silver Dark Sentinel v4 Staff, and a green Dark Sentinel v5 with Sound. As a bonus I have a Random Sound Saber coming as a second prize from the Summer Raffle, and I am hoping it will be epic!

    However, at this point, I do not care about that.

    I know we are all waiting for something that we bought and that we want to have as soon as possible. I know we paid our hard earned money for something that for many of us is taking many times longer than promised or expected. I know the delays get tiresome and we are getting frustrated.

    But there is a Category Four Hurricane headed for Texas. I think our problems are very much secondary in this case.

    I'm not sure if UltraSabers is in the line of Hurricane Laura, or not, but I hope that everyone in the danger area of that storm gets their butts to safety.

    If UltraSabers is in the line of the storm, I can wait longer for my Sabers, I just hope everyone down in that area stays safe.

    Even if the company isn't in the line of fire, some of the employees may be, who knows?    Either way, their problems are bigger than ours right now.  I sent them an email wishing them luck and hoping they can stay safe; it'll probably get lost in the shuffle of all the other emails, but it seemed like the decent thing to do.

    Yep it's hard news.  This really puts it in the possible 2021 receipt basket.  As for sound, I initially ordered as a stunt but decided that they really needed to have sound to have the whole experience and its not like these are any hilts.  They are Ahsoka's so should be done right.  I went obsidian V4 so I have the option to mute the sound.  If I were you I'd consider the same.  Alternatively an empty and pay for something like a neopixel install.  But that's not cheap either and adds even more time to the wait for the finished set.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I think I will take my time to really compare the different types of soundboards and decide how big I want the change to be and how much more money I want to spend :D And of course you're totally right, that those are special sabers!  Because of that I'm still thinking about upgrading it to an Emerald, so I can simply change the colors to fit for season 3-5 or 7 :)

    Order made - July 29th, 31st.

    Order received - August 24th.

    The silver one came with a charging port (not on the order) so I'm assuming they're just sending what they have in stock. My brother is sure happy about that haha. Hopefully you all receive yours soon! I'm in the process of making my Diamond prize win saber, The Empress. Wonder if that one will come just as fast!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200827/8db04bc00bec45ff0ee5774c79664074.jpg)

    Wasn't expecting a reply, but believe it or not, I just got one, LOL.  Aria says that it was touch and go up until yesterday evening; the storm shifted just enough so that they just have some breezy weather today.   A few employees did need to evacuate because they live close enough to the water that there was a concern about the storm surge, but they checked in, they're okay, and will hopefully be able to return to work soon.

    Very nice - can you do me a favour and swap the pommels? - I think the Apprentice LEv5 would look fantastic if they continue the gold striping onto the pommel but, as I said in my review video, you could order an Aeon LE pommel (like yours but with gold flanges) and achieve the same effect... but looking at your pic that pommel might be too big to look sensible...

    Still waiting on the initial order with the 10 sabers for me and my friends from Early may. HOWEVER the saber that I ordered during the raffle and the raffle prize I won just arrived today. After getting held up at my local fedex for 5 days they sent it out on the truck today. Luckily I was able to get it at work when the usual Fedex guy stopped by and said he had it on the truck. So I was able to open the box at work with my coworkers (They loved it, and are probably getting their own).
    The saber I ordered was a Emerald with sound Manticore in Blazing red. The saber I won was a stunt ELECTRUM WIND, with a corvex clip in what I believe to be the Blue Amethyst Violet color. That one is my roommates until his arrives.

    Oh very nice idea to have the option for green and blue.  I've just got the blue in mine.  I might consider another green representation down the track.  But for now (well 16-18 weeks plus shipping around the world plus any further delays now) these will do.  I have a set of the Galaxy's Edge Rebels version on the way so excited to have both represented.

    I think I also so an Ahsoka themed sound font in another section of the forum.

    Well, I got my tracking information for the Princess, extra midgrade blade and a few extra blade plugs (for the free sabers that I got with my first order).  Hasn't been picked up by FedEx yet; once it's in motion, I'll have it rerouted to a drop off location nearby so that it doesn't come to the house.  Now all that's left is the Dominix; i have a feeling it'll be another couple of weeks or so for that.

    I will admit, opening up that Princess is going to be a little bittersweet, but still, I'm happy that it's on the way.  Just hoping there are no problems with it.

It's a $10 option - processing fee?) instead of the free plug for some reason but hey-ho. Now just got possible wait till the 7th Sept for delivery (I'm in the UK, but FedEx did get it to me quicker last time so fingers crossed).

    And hoping for a bit of luck with the MB (any idea how often they can have sound? but even just a >$75 hilt would be cool, though really I just want an offhander for my main).

    Most likely it's one of those 3rd party emails.   When your saber does ship, you'll get tracking information from both Ultrasabers and FedEx, and your order listing on the US website will read as "complete".

    It's just a third party e-mail from a company that knows nothing about the status of your order. They just send an automated e-mail after a certain amount of time to get a review out of you.

    No update on my package; apparently FedEx hasn't picked it up for delivery yet.  I'm guessing I'll start getting notifications on it tomorrow.

    Now that I think about it, if it does get picked up tomorrow, and delivery is scheduled for Wednesday....that's pretty damn quick considering I opted for FedEx ground and not the two day shipping.

    So exciting.....

    Glad to hear Phoenix. I finally got an update from a new CSA the other day, so I'm guessing the guy I had been working with might be gone...not to say I'm surprised if that is the case...

    I was again offered a downgrade, or to wait another 3-5 weeks for my hilt to come back to stock..though they did give me a 20% coupon for a future order which doesn't expire.

    Maybe I'll buy another saber when they get their act together, maybe I won't.

    The Dominix is delayed; I ordered one on June 23, and around August 7 I was notified that there's an estimated 3-5 week wait on it.  It's been three weeks for me now, I'm assuming it'll be the full five.  Hopefully not longer than that.

    I keep seeing people say the support email doesn't work so what email should i use to ask about my order? thanks

    The support email, [email protected], does work.  It's just that replies are inconsistent; doesn't help that they're bombarded daily with emails, they don't really seem to have enough staff to handle it all.  The only thing you can do, at least that i suggest, is to limit your emails to once a week, and include your order number and the date of your order in the subject line, and keep it civil.

    If you ordered less than 6 or 7 weeks ago, I honestly wouldn't even bother yet; the average wait time seems to be around 8 weeks right now.

    Glad to hear Phoenix. I finally got an update from a new CSA the other day, so I'm guessing the guy I had been working with might be gone...not to say I'm surprised if that is the case...

    I was again offered a downgrade, or to wait another 3-5 weeks for my hilt to come back to stock..though they did give me a 20% coupon for a future order which doesn't expire.

    Maybe I'll buy another saber when they get their act together, maybe I won't.

    Yeah, I had a feeling something happened with that guy you were dealing with; you had gone way too long without him getting back to you.

    I opted to wait and take the coupon.   I do plan on ordering again later down the road, it'll come in handy.

    Thanks I just emailed them because it's been over 10 weeks since I ordered but I've seen people get the same orders in mystery boxes that they ordered after I did so I know it's not out of stock or they wouldn't be sending them out in MBs really doubt I'll order again because the lack of transparency is unbearable.

    They do have several service reps that are really on the ball when it comes to answering the emails, the problem is that there's so many emails for them to answer.  It's not the proper way of doing things, I agree...but there's nothing proper about this year.  At all.

    I wish I had more advice for you other than try to be patient; the one constant is that orders are getting processed.  Hopefully they'll be able to right the ship sooner rather than later.

    4 months, no saber, no response to multiple emails. Again, I get pandemic/supplies/hurricanes (I live in Florida), but this is getting a bit crazy. Yes, first world problems, but 3-4 week expectation ending up 3x that much (and counting), one is allowed to be a bit frustrated.

    Frustration is natural.  Frustration is understandable.  All we can say is that our experience says you WILL get your saber, and it’s obvious that US is shipping sabers now, every day, and they’re working literally 24x7 to get things done.  COVID has done a number on EVERYONE’s supply lines.  We all get it.  I don’t think anyone is telling anyone else not to be frustrated, but I do think that, as unpleasant as it is to hear, we all need to be more patient. 

    I haven’t liked being patient, ever.  It’s a struggle for me.  Mail-order was always unpleasant until Amazon brought next-day and even same-day delivery.  And then this happens.   Bleaahhhhh...  BUT... EVERY time I have ordered from UltraSabers, they have delivered, and, up until this year, response has been amazingly quick to the emails.  Even this year, once I got a response, all the follow-up emails were very quick.

    All I can say is try not to let the impatience overwhelm you; your saber is coming.

    The only thing I'll add to this is that the sabers are worth the wait.  I never had anything like these growing up, lucky for my parents; I would have shredded their bank account over these things.  Trust me, your patience will be rewarded.

    Hey all, I haven't been following this thread for a while now and it moves super fast.
    Are we hearing more accounts of quicker times? The last sabers I ordered a few months ago came fairly quickly (3 and 5 weeks respectively if I recall correctly).
    I want to order another stunt saber tomorrow (waiting to see what the next sale/promotion will be) and want to set my expectations accordingly.

    I plan on ordering a Dark Initiate V5 in either Tri-AB or Tri-GB. It doesn't appear that there should be a super long wait. Their FB page seems to have more positive posts than a few months ago, so I'm hoping it won't be long.

    Just when I was about to throw in the towel for today, my phone buzzed at 5:15...my Princess has been picked up by FedEx and is on the way, new estimated delivery date is Thursday instead of Wednesday.   That's still a hell of a quick shipping period.

    All I need now is a golden ticket for the Dominix and I'll be in seventh heaven.

    If you bought the $75 mystery box, odds are it won't have sound, although there's always a chance.  You'll at least get a saber worth $75, but you might end up with one worth more than that, even if it's a stunt saber; I ended up with the Shock as my free mystery box, and that goes for $154. No sound, but it's still pretty cool.

    Well, I've done it again. After 2 months of not ordering or waiting for orders, I bought another saber.
    Simple stunt Dark Initiate LE v5 in Tri-AB and 36" blade.
    We'll see how long it takes.
    Fortunately, this one will be a replacement for my wife's Dominix LE v3 in AB (just upgrading the style and brightness) so we've got a saber for her in the mean time.
    As much as I love the V3, it's too long for her and more useful as a spinning saber, which she doesn't really do much.
    Her saber is more of a display saber, so we want the added flair of the v5. I also want a Tri-AB in our collection.

    The current September Summer Saber Sale is a good one to get a few small purchases. So I may order something else before the month is over but I don't know what.

    It all depends on what you ordered, but it could be the mystery boxes holding your order up; the company, from what I understand, has burned through their stockpile and are having to craft from scratch as much as they can - at one point they were even sending Frankensabers out as mystery boxes.

    That's just speculation, of course.   All I can suggest is to keep trying with emails, don't forget your order number and date in the subject line.   And as frustrating as the situation is, try to keep it civil; the situation is a mess but they're not doing this deliberately.  Hang in there; your Golden Ticket will come.

    Dont know how it is going for some people, but i ordered a dark apprentice v4 and apprentice v4 stunt sabers on june 4th, 2020 and still have not received anything. Order is still processing. I have sent numerous emails and called a few times but have yet to hear anything back. I get that they are busy, but going on almost 3 months with no info is slightly frustrating. I do not want to cancel the order but some information would be greatly appreciated. So i guess my point is, for those of you who are in the same situation as me, i hope you get your order soon. fingers crossed for all of us.

    Well I'm up to 5 sabers received between the flash sales and 2 from my original order.  Unfortunately it looks like one of them has to go back.  It turns on and then immediately turns off.  Customer service has been responding to my e-mails so hopefully the turnaround to fix this one won't be too long.

    I have no doubt the saber one day will arrive, and be worth the wait. I own several Ultrasabers (nothing overly fancy as of yet), and this one was for a very special project. Thus my excitement to eventually get it. Timing is just rough, and the silence again, adds to the frustration. Just going to sit and wait, hoping one day to check my email and see the 'your saber has been shipped' notice.

    I placed my order back in early June (about 14 weeks ago). I have called and reached out to ultrasaber many of times to just get any kind of response to feel that they are ya know not just ignoring my order but I have only received the emails about sales and deals. The order was put into processing status and paid for immediately and has remained in that status for the last 3 months. I am super worried that something has gone wrong as I get no response on twitter, phone, email, ect.  I am not one to reach out to the community as I am wary of large groups of people. But perhaps someone can shed some light on if I should just keep being patient for another 3 months or if I can get a response from some one or do something for peace of mind?

    I put in an order for the scorpion, apprenticeLEv5, and the empress. All stunt level.

    I put in an order for the scorpion, apprenticeLEv5, and the empress. All stunt level.

    Speaking as someone who's ordered 3 times from them since the madness of 2020 started and has gotten 2 orders delivered already, I can reassure you that even though your emails aren't getting replied to - a problem that many people on here are having; the company is just overwhelmed right now - your order is not being ignored and hasn't gotten lost in the shuffle.  Besides work force restrictions due to the pandemic, as well as material shortages, a lot of hilts are delayed to some degree, depending on what you ordered.  I'm pretty sure, from what I've read, the Scorpion and Empress are affected by this.

    The thing is, they're not processing orders sequentially, they're processing them as they can.  Some people have waited as long as you, some have gone quicker, some are still waiting.  They don't ship incomplete orders, they wait until the entire order is ready to go, then the send out the Golden Ticket email.

    All I can suggest is to email them a out once a week to ask about your order, and include your order number and date of the order in the subject line.   And keep it civil; as frustrating as it is for us customers, it's got to be one hell of a stressful time for the employees.

    But I will repeat, with absolute 100% certainty (and the veteran customers can back me on this) is that you will get your order.   It's just a matter of playing the waiting game these days.

    One piece of advice that seems true from my experience, but I'm not 100% surecis true, but single saber orders seem to go out faster.
    Or at least reduces your chances of being delayed if part of a multi saber order isn't ready.

    The longest lead times I've had were on orders for multiple sabers while single saber orders have been made fairly quickly. I don't think I've had to wait more than 1 month on any of mine in 2020, while my multiple sabers orders all have exceeded 1 month

    I'm not sure what's going on with FedEx, but my order delivery was delayed a day after it got to my home city. Reading through various threads, it seems like a few people are having the same issue, in addition to bent blades.

    Tell me about it... FedEx kept the package stopped for no apparent reason (it cost them to storage), and l am still waiting on the complaint result for the bent blade
    But by the way, US responded my email  saying they will replace the blade, but haven't received the tracking number yet 😬

    Thanks for the update, and it's good to see that US is quick about making you whole; now let's hope that they deal with FedEx and get themselves made whole.  Please update us on the FedEx complaint.

    SO, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!!  I've ordered a number of sabers from Ultrasabers.  I get the notification that FedEx has picked it up.  I watch it cross from Texas to California quickly.  But once it gets to my local distribution center it seems to take just as long if not longer than it did to come the last 20 miles as it did to come a thousand miles from Texas!  I was expecting an order yesterday and now today.  I finally got an email saying that the delivery was delayed due to weather conditions.  WHAT WEATHER‽!!  It's not storming or windy, it's just hot out today!  So yeah, not loving FedEx, right now.

    Yay they arrived! Will post pics/vids tomorrow as I have family visiting, but am very happy. Spectre is beautiful and came with a longer blade than expected (in retrospect I think I got a 32" with my previous Apprentice). The mystery box was an Aeon v3 so nothing too funky but it's fire orange so it matches my Apprentice as a dual-wielder. It also had the longer 36" blade so I've swapped it over to the Apprentice so the two have roughly equal reach despite the Aeon being a longer hilt. Gonna look into some rubber O-rings to fit into the hilt grooves on the Aeon to customize it a bit.

    No news from the FedEx damage claim, but today I received the FedEx tracking number for the blade replacement, as the US CSR offered last week by email.

    Didn't get the chance to do an unboxing of the Princess over the weekend; too busy taking care of some back to school stuff for the younger three.  Can't believe we're into September already, seems like I blinked and missed summer.  But that's a whole different topic, LOL.

    No news on the Dominix, though.  Fingers crossed that it ships soon...

    WOW! I ordered an Initiate v2 in Tri-Red and a blade-less Grab bag (had to get the order past $100 for the current sale) on Sunday and it's already done and on its way.
    That's a 2 day turnaround!!!!
    I've gotten saber orders completed quickly in the past, but that's a new record for me.

    Still waiting on a Dark Initiate v5 in Tri-AB I ordered 9/1, but that's just barely past 1 week.
    I usually set my expectations around at least a month, but if they can get a stunt and a GB out that fast, it makes it that much more exciting that my older stunt order will be done sooner too.

    Yeah most of my orders since I started collecting in Dec 19 have taken at least the advertised lead time, with a couple going just past 2 months.
    But I've had 3 orders take a week or less. One was just a GB without blade that shipped in 4 days, another was my Crimson Scorpion that shipped in a week. And I had placed both orders on the same day back in June.
    I was shocked that the Scorpion was done so fast since it was a custom order.

    This order surprised me because it includes both a GB and a custom saber, albeit just a stunt.

    Hopefully that means they are getting back to their fabled good turnaround times pre-2020.
    We'll see if my 9/1 stunt saber ships soon

    I agree, sometimes the picture doesn't do the blade justice.  It's bright, though, even with an overhead light on in the room.

    Nice choice. I thought it was VA but I thought it might have been BH too. Could be the overhead light making it apear more pinkish. Looks amazing either way.

    Might tear into it and see if it’s just a wrong resistor. I don’t hate the color, but it isn’t quite what I asked for. Is a rechargeable stunt, so that might be it too. I don’t know.

    As Cyclops942 would Say...
    This is a group of UltraSabers customers and fans, not a way to reach UltraSabers customer service.  Nobody here works for UltraSabers.  We can give advice, but we can’t provide specific information about your order because we don’t have access to any of that information.

    The response times on the customer service emails have slipped quite a bit, too.  All I can say is to keep sending POLITE emails to [email protected] with your order number in the subject line, but I wouldn’t send an email every day; that will just clog up the Inbox and make it harder to find the emails that need an answer other than “Yes, we have your order, and it’s in the processing queue, but I can’t tell you when it will ship, because we are waiting on <fill_in_the_blank>.”

    Now. On a personnal note, denying payment via PayPal, for a couple greebies that seems... Disingenuous. I doubt the amount of money for a couple of blade plugs and wrenches reach the amount you spent on the sabers themselves...
    If your intention is to start a claim to withhold payment of the amount of the blade plugs and wrenches then it's only natural. If not...

    Ultrasabers has done it again! Just got my shipping notice from my 9/1 order.
    My 9/6 order shipped on Tuesday and should be here today or tomorrow and the 9/1 order hopefully by Saturday.

    Super excited!
    Just 2 stunts with Tri-cree and a Grab bag. Nothing too fancy.
    I know it's been hit or miss for a lot of people because some orders are going way longer than others, but have faith they'll arrive.
    I got lucky probably because everything in my orders was in stock and ready. But I still think that's good news for those still waiting.
    If they can get in stock orders out this fast, it shouldn't be long now for orders waiting on parts/hilts.

    Still waiting. At week 3 of my "3-5 week" window for my hilt to come in. They've literally missed every deadline window they've given themselves thus far, I'm not overly hopeful that they'll meet this deadline.

    It's only been since May 5th.

    18 Weeks, I've order 3 sabers from elsewhere and received each of those in under a week (aside from one that was mixed up with someone else's order that came in the same time as mine, he got mine, I got his. I sent that one back and got the correct saber in another week).

    Honestly, that's what crossed my mind when I was told about "3-5 weeks" for my Sentinel V5. They had given me the option to swap for something they had in-stock, or wait the "3-5 weeks" and I jumped on the swap.

    A lot of things on their supply side may just be out of their hands. I don't know if they physically machine everything in-house, but it appears that they get the raw aluminum, and then send it to a 3rd party to be cut and machined into various designs, and then get sent back to them for final assembly and shipping. So any stoppage along that line could cause massive delays for particular models that need to be manufactured.

    I don’t know the details, either, but what you’re describing sounds very much like what I had been thinking of.  ASSUMING that this is close to reality, your point is dead on... MUCH of the delay is completely out of UltraSabers’ hands.

    I ordered my Sabers on July 24th. I wanted to take advantage of the raffle they had as well as the Saber Sale. I got two sabers, one Azure Mantis and one Dominicide. I wanted to go all out and got Diamond for both.

    With Diamond on both it got them over a thousand dollars so I could get the free initiate saber, the grab bag saber, the mystery box, the blade plug, and the t-shirt.

    These are the first lightsabers I have ever bought so I am really hoping for them. Unfortunately, all I know is that they are Processing. I want them soo bad.

    See, I had the opposite reaction when they offered to swap for me...  but what did they offer to swap your saber out for???

    Because they offered the Initiate v3 or Dark Apprentice v5 for what I ordered -  an Initiate LE v5.

    And those just look NOTHING similar lol - had it been the Apprentice LE v5 (not Dark) or one of the other Initiate LE sabers.... I STILL would have said no, but at least I would have thought about it or been tempted, you know? So I just said I will wait.

    Also, the saber I ordered is a $90 saber and the others they offered are $65 and $75 sabers - but they made no mention of any sort of price adjustment in the email... so... ??? I think that is weird.

    Since I did not even consider it based on looks and said no, I didn’t look at price until later - but now that I have, I am kinda annoyed that there is no mention of price adjustment or site credit or anything to make up the difference if I did choose one of those less expensive sabers. That doesn’t really seem fair.

    To charge more than what the saber is listed for on the website, when it isn’t even what the customer ordered or really wants, and you already made the customer wait weeks after the promised processing time to even tell them it was this or wait at least 3-5more weeks? I dunno... that irks me now.

    Nonetheless, I already said no by the time I realized this, so I didn’t bother asking and I guess I won’t. I am just waiting for my original saber and it will be beautiful (I hope). I have already waited 14thousand years, what is 6 or 7 thousand more?

    I thought the same thing, but my price difference was a $5 cheaper saber. I asked if they would throw in a free blade plug for the difference, but they replied that the difference would be refunded back to me. Lo and behold, once it was marked as shipped, I received the $5 refund. So... maybe that's the case?

    Hey all, I'm totally new to all this.

    I placed an order. Chose the Amazon Pay option cause I'm from Europe and you know... credit card and stuff.

    So ... My credit card was declined - I solved that...I typed in a new credit card at Amazon...
    Now my payment is in status Pending. Amazon says that US has to now do their magic and take my money.

    So what's your experience? It's been 4 days since I made my payment available.
    Almost looks like US don't want my money   :D
    Maybe as a first time purchase?
    I sent a couple of emails asking for guidance to US, but no response. I read that's pretty common.
    I don't care about the wait for my sabre...just wanted to make sure that the money is where it should be.
    Thanks for sharing your experience.

    HI, please bare with me

    New to the site and just placed an order with UltraSabers. I saw the lead times for the sabers i built, but then i watched a few reviews on youtube slamming UltraSabers for their shipping time saying id be lucky to get the sabers in a 3 months?

    Does anyone know how accurate that is? The lead time for the ones i built was 3-4 weeks and i was hoping to have by Halloween (which is 6 weeks out).

    HI, please bare with me

    New to the site and just placed an order with UltraSabers. I saw the lead times for the sabers i built, but then i watched a few reviews on youtube slamming UltraSabers for their shipping time saying id be lucky to get the sabers in a 3 months?

    Does anyone know how accurate that is? The lead time for the ones i built was 3-4 weeks and i was hoping to have by Halloween (which is 6 weeks out).

    I will say i emailed them 2 days ago about the order with a question and have not got any reply yet?

    Please help.
    If you read a bit around the forum you'll see that due to the covid situation and a huge amount of orders, they are having trouble meeting their old lead times. Though, if you are lucky and ordered something they have in stock, it will ship quickly. So really, it all depends on what you ordered.
    For exemple, I ordered a black empress without engraving in early June. And I still have at least two months to wait to get my order. Same for the spectre with engraving I ordered mid July.

    Please note that they are also having trouble getting through all the emails they get. So you might wait a while for an answer.

    Did they offer you sabers that looked anything like what you ordered? Because.... my options were not. Lol

    The sabers I was offered to downgrade to were garbage. I also had ordered a Dark Sentinel V5 LE and was offered a significantly less expensive saber, which I turned down. I figured "hey, I've already been waiting since the beginning of May, what's another 3-5 weeks?"

    I'm at the 3 week point now...so who knows.

    Just a little sign of life from me. I'm on week 17, still waiting, but got an email recently: Delivery could take a little bit longer than 4 weeks. Uhm, really? I'm surprised.  ::)

    I'm sorry to hear how hit or miss orders have been this year.
    It seems like there's no reliable way to tell if something is truly out of stock, and if it is, you won't know until after waiting well past a month.
    That sucks.

    But on the flip side, if what you ordered is in stock, every single hilt and part of your order that is, than it looks like turnaround times are actually pretty good.
    I've made 3 separate orders in September and all 3 are already completed.
    For reference, these are my orders:
    Dark Initiate LE v5 stunt in Tri-AB - ordered 9/1, complete 9/9, arrived 9/14
    Initiate v2 stunt in Tri-Red & Grab bag - ordered 9/6, complete 9/8, arrived 9/10
    Phantom v2 in Tri-GB & VA - ordered 9/11, complete 9/14, estimated delivery 9/17

    Those are by far the quickest turnaround times I've ever experienced.
    All were stunt sabers with only 1-2 sabers per order and none were "Premium" hilts.

    Given what I've heard, it looks like Grab bags are a better buy if you want them quickly.
    I think Mystery boxes are so backlogged that they have to be made to order and there's a long line.
    Grab bags, however, seem to be ready to go.
    And it's a good thing they don't just start using GBs as MBs since GBs have no chance for sound and can have minor blemishes.
    But if you don't mind that and just want a saber quicker, GB are better at the moment it would seem

    I wouldn't say that the alterates i was offered were garbage, but they weren't what I wanted and so I also opted to wait.  But still, at least the company is offering alternatives that they have in stock within that comparative price range - you're not going to get offered a $185 saber as a substitute if you had ordered a $100 hilt - instead of deliberately letting you twist in the wind.

    I am not trying to be pessimistic but do not expect by Halloween.  It sounds like orders come all together - not delivered separately - so multiple sabers in one order may equate to a longer wait.  If you expect a long wait (3 mos?) then anything sooner will make you happy.   
    I really do hope you are one of the fortunate few to receive quickly.
    the force will guide you - trust in it.

    So...I placed my order April 27th.  I got a double bladed and a single bladed, both stunt sabers with just the lights.  I submitted an update request May 20th, July 23rd and August 13th, with no reply.  I have tried calling at the number listed on the website, but no answer either.  Seeing that other people are ordering sabers they ordered less than a month ago...is a bit frustrating, especially when the two I ordered were for birthdays that are now both over a month past.  Any adivce?


    The only advice I can give is to keep trying to reach them at the [email protected] address; at this point, I think you'd be justified in emailing them once a week instead of once a month.  Remember to put your order date and number in the subject heading, and try to keep it civil.   They're bombarded with emails lately which makes it hard for them to reply to some people.  I wish I had better advice - it sounds like what you ordered is hampered by material shortages, but you should definitely keep trying to get some news, especially if your order was that long ago.

    Yeah, I wouldn't expect a massive upgrade. But something similar or at least within the same price range. I wasn't interested in the garbage sabers I was offered, and if that had been my only choice, I would have cancelled my order. And if they think I'd pay the 20% restocking fee, they're outta their damn minds.

    Well....yeah, I can't really argue with that.  Paying a restocking fee for something they don't even have in stock at all seems like a hard sell to me.

    But the V2s & V4s seem to be safer bets than the more premium hilts.

    4-5 months is super lame. I wish there was a way to get some transparency on what's truly available.
    I've made 3 separate orders since just the beginning of this month and as of today, all 3 have been completed and delivered.
    All stunt sabers though.

    Hilts that are taking MONTHS to fill orders should just be taken off the site entirely until they are back in stock for real

    Agreed. The hilt that I ordered back in May and is out of stock is still listed as available on the site. It's not right at all. At this point they're misrepresenting themselves at best, and are outright using false advertising at worst.

    Yeah, not cool.  Like Galef I've had some good luck with ordering recently, but that would certainly test my patience.  I, too, think some accurate stock availability on the website would solve most of the frustration. :-\

    I ordered a Sentinel  LE v4 on July 10th. So that puts me at 10 weeks out with no contact whatsoever as of yesterday.  Well other than the much dreaded “ Delivery Confirmation - Response Requested” email.  Sigh

    Reached out to them on August 7th. with no response.   A bit frustrating, as I padded the time I needed this for a gift by two weeks.  Hoping that was enough.  At this point I will be “happy” if I see it before Christmas.

    No word on the Dominix yet, so I'm guessing either none came in this past week, or the few that did come in were crafted for others who had ordered before me.  C'est la vie; I'll wait until next weekend and send an email to see what the story is.  I'm just anxious to get it here and make sure there are no problems with it, so I can tuck it away with the others.

    Hopefully it's not a situation like with the Lost Grey, and it's a 16-18 week wait.  If that ends up being the case, I'll see what my alternate choices are, but I'm hoping that won't be the case.  I really want that Dominix for my brother.  Fingers crossed...

    I'd think they'd save time marking out of stock items instead of answering a mountain of emails. Though I suppose simply not answering saves time as well.

    Trying to go through all those emails must be like trying to empty an Olympic sized swimming pool with a child's beach bucket, but I really doubt they're choosing to purposely ignore them.  That really wouldn't be kosher.  I think  they're just overwhelmed and trying to do the best with what they've got.

    No news from the FedEx damage claim, but today I received the FedEx tracking number for the blade replacement, as the US CSR offered last week by email.
    I hope FedEx get it right this time :-/


    Just an update on this one, US sent the replacement blade, the complaint with FedEx was approved (just waiting for the refund notice), and now The Guardian looks as it should

    Can't help but be curious; there can't be that many people still waiting on orders from this past spring, are there?  I mean, yeah, I know there are a handful from April and May who had ordered a hilt like the Lost Grey that's backed up 16 weeks or whatever it was, but there can't be too many of those, can there?  I'm guessing most of the outstanding orders now are from the summertime.  And yes, I'm one of them, so I'm in the same boat as you guys.

    I only ordered the one saber—Fallen LE—back on June 28th. I got word, about 4 weeks ago, that I’m looking at early-to-mid November. Hopefully, they might get things in earlier, but I stopped holding my breath.  It will be here when it gets here.

    I placed an order 07/28 for an Empress (No Engraving) and Apprenticev4 Staff - Sound on both. No updates yet. From the sounds of it, I am not counting on them for Xmas. I have noticed part/supply/stunt orders are moving very quickly. My orders for extra blades and couplers shipped within 2 days. I am anxious for the Pandemic to resolve, because I want to place a couple of more orders, but it will be 4+ sabers w/sound.

    Man, you know you've been bitten by the bug badly when you resort to watching your own unboxing videos...

    Sent a reply email to Nichole asking about the status of the Dominix; I figured it's been two weeks since I was last contacted about it, so it's worth looking into.  Hopefully the end of this road is coming up soon; I'm not planning on ordering again until after Christmas.  At that point, however long my order(s) take to get here won't be an issue, because I can stop hiding my arsenal and actually enjoy the things, LOL.

    Hey everyone. I received my mystery box sabers today! I ordered 3, $75 mystery boxes for the summer raffle on July 28th. Got my box today and am super excited! I will get pictures up eventually but wanted to let everyone know what I got.

    First up is an Aeon V3 with a silver, non-illuminated AV switch in Pyrestone Orange! Very cool!

    Second is a Prophecy V3 with a silver, non-illuminated AV switch in Guardian Blue! Super sweet!

    Leaving the best for last is my super upgraded $75 mystery box, a Raven with lite sound,  Blazing Red blade with, what looks to me like, Hot Pink Flash on Clash, red illuminated black AV switch, and a covertech wheel! This thing is a beast and so badass! This is amazing!

    Full retail for the 3 sabers I got is about $550. I also got a stand, blade plug, and some wrenches and payed $251 for everything! Ultrasabers is amazing and it's well worth the wait. So excited right now!

    Congrats on those sabers! That's a real nice surprise you got there!

    Pictures are much appreciated ;)

    Can't help but be curious; there can't be that many people still waiting on orders from this past spring, are there?  I mean, yeah, I know there are a handful from April and May who had ordered a hilt like the Lost Grey that's backed up 16 weeks or whatever it was, but there can't be too many of those, can there?  I'm guessing most of the outstanding orders now are from the summertime.  And yes, I'm one of them, so I'm in the same boat as you guys.

    Still waiting on my May 13th Dominicide

    Still waiting on my May 13th Dominicide

    I forgot about the Dominicide, that's one of the really delayed hilts.  Hope you get some good news soon

    Post by: Galef on September 25, 2020, 03:51:41 PM
    I kinda feel like they should just remove a 4 variants of Dominicide from their catalogue, fill the outstanding orders they have and then just stop offering the Dominicide all together.
    As cool of a hilt as it is, it's very different in its construction to all their other hilts and I think that's a reason it's so hard to get it back in stock once it's out.

    Just about any pair of Initiate/Apprentice hilts coupled as a staff would match the length of the Dominicide (particularly the Initiate V5s), so the only thing you'd lose is the aesthetics.
    But hey, they could keep the emitter/pommels in their catalogue if you really wanted to match the aesthetics.

    I guess my point is that if US reduced the variety of hilts they have, it'd be easier for them to keep in stock the ones they do still produce.
    I feel the same about the V2s. As much as I love the V2s, they are the only non-MHS, non sound compatible hilts they offer.
    I'd gladly give up the ability to get more V2s if it meant they could keep the V3s in stock for those that like them.

    Man, you know you've been bitten by the bug badly when you resort to watching your own unboxing videos...

    Sent a reply email to Nichole asking about the status of the Dominix; I figured it's been two weeks since I was last contacted about it, so it's worth looking into.  Hopefully the end of this road is coming up soon; I'm not planning on ordering again until after Christmas.  At that point, however long my order(s) take to get here won't be an issue, because I can stop hiding my arsenal and actually enjoy the things, LOL.

    Heard back from Nichole; the Dominix is still delayed.  She offered me the Dark Initiate LE v5 as an alternate, or if I'd rather wait a week, she'll hopefully have some news.  I'll admit the substitute offer was tempting, but I'm gonna give it another week and keep my fingers crossed.  If it turns out that there will be a huge delay, then I'll probably swap, but if there's still a chance of me getting it soon, I'm willing to wait a bit longer.

    Still waiting on orders from July
    Dark Sentinel v4 Staff AS/AS from the 20th
    Sentinel v5 CG foc AS Obsidian v4 + a Second Prize Saber (Random with Sound) from the 21st

    Contacted me 5 weeks ago about the v5, said 3 to 5 weeks to restock.
    I know stuff has been happening so I am flexible with the timing but I'd really like to get these soon.

    In my random wanderings I fell to the allure of some of the other guys.
    Found a nice looking belt clip and some wrap material for my customization attempts.

    I think I am done buying sabers for a while. Need to find the proper accessories to go with them now.
    Robes, sheathes, tunics, etc. If I am going to walk around with a saber in public I want to look the part.
    Debating on full robes or something more tactical looking for an agent appearance. Probably get both.

    Yeah, I thought so.

    I think I need a Pike Extension or two.

    The one hilt is an LE with windows while the other is basic black no windows.

    The concept was a staff or an over large hilt with a hidden blade in the nondescript simple hilt on the bottom/pommel.

    Still puzzling through what I need to do to customize it. Maybe find some nice wrap for the grip. I don't think this one is supposed to be flash or battle worn.

    If I knew where to find some good stencils I could engrave it somewhat, just need to find the right image for it/them.

    Currently awaiting my first order which is a Sentinel LE V5 in Fire Orange with Obsidian V4 and also added a mystery box.
    Have been told the Sentinel will likely take 5+ weeks waiting on the machinist however I choose to stick with it over getting a Apprentice LE V5 replacement which would have come quicker. 
    Luckily a friend has left his Dark Initiate V5 at my house and has still not decided to take it home which i'm happily allowed to mess around with for now.

    Try emailing the [email protected] or the [email protected] with the order number as the summary.
    Got quite a quick response, found out my hilt was likely 5+ weeks awaiting stock and got offered alternative that could be shipped quicker.
    I've seen a lot of people noting waits on the Dominix hilt so that may be the reason it's taking so long.

    I ordered the Dominix on June 23; it is indeed delayed.  I'm week to week at this point but if I find out it's gonna be delayed past Christmas, I'll pull the trigger on an alternate.

    Even though I'm telling you to hang in there, and it'll be awesome when it arrives, I still wouldn't blame you for being a little salty about it, even if it's not Ultrasabers' fault.  That's a hell of a long delay to deal with.

    I'm at 21 weeks now. I may give them to the end of the week and then I may just open a dispute through Paypal and use the money I get back to get a saber that I've had my eyes on from one of the other guys

    I wish they'd at least change the lead times on the website to be a bit more accurate so that new customers know the situation.  I'm afraid US is going to keep getting flooded with orders if they don't see something.


    Title: Re: (im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!
    Post by: Darth Kalis on September 29, 2020, 07:53:41 PM
    I just looked at my papyal account and basically, I have until Nov. 1st to file a claim (if I'm reading it correctly). I really don't want to cancel, because the saber I ordered is one that I really want, but I may be forced to. 21 weeks is a bit ridiculous, especially when they are still claiming a 3-4 week turnaround.

    Plus when you take into account of the lack of customer service, and the generous offer of a significant downgrade, I'm more or less done with this company. If I don't have either the saber in my hand, or at the very least a shipping confirmation or even an update by Friday, I'm just going to dispute it with paypal and get something that I really like from one of the other guys

    Of course, I'll probably stick around here because I kinda like the folks that hang out around these parts

    So, I just got a Ultrasabers.com Delivery Confirmation - Response Requested in my email this morning, but I have yet to receive any notice about my order being shipped. Either on US main site or an email.

    I am wondering, has this happened to anyone else or is something wrong? The email came in this morning and said to contact US if nothing arrives in 24-48 hours (and this is not me asking if they sent it). I just want to know if something is up or this kind of email arriving before a shipment is normal.

    Those are a third party e-mail. They come about four weeks after you order.
    It is not US and it has nothing to do with your order being shipped.
    They just show up automatically. I received two myself yesterday.

    If you want to contact US [email protected] is the address that seems to work the best.
    Place your order number in the subject line, be polite and allow about a week for them to respond before sending a follow up e-mail.

    I intend to do as instructed and tomorrow send an E-Mail to see what is up with my order.

    Just to repeat. This was not from US.

    I'm on week 19 now and had a nice conversation with Laura from US the last days. Spectre with engraving is out of stock, The Butcher is out of stock and the Phantasm V4 is out of stock.

    And I should be prepared to wait another 11-13 weeks for the Spectre with engraving. Maybe I have luck and will get my spring sale order right in time for x-mas.

    As expected, they missed their latest deadline. So I sent off an email just asking for an update. Will I get a reply, who knows. But I decided to give them the full week, so if I don't have an update, or better yet, a shipment confirmation by Monday, I think I'll be filing a dispute with Paypal. If they think that I'm paying a 20% restocking fee on an item they didn't have in stock in the first place, they're out of their minds.

    Impatiently wait...nothing gigantic. Just a couple of pommels and a MB. But that’s the beauty of a MB isn’t it...it might be anything!!! I’ve bought a few more customized sabers over the years, but I always end up coming back to that first saber I bought in an US MB box and want to recapture that feeling. Plus it’s affordable and I can’t afford all those bells and whistles very often. So I return to the dog that first bit me :D

The last update I got was at the beginning of August, and that was a few weeks on my hilts. I just sent another email asking for an update and hopefully some lead times.

    Pretty much. I'm glad to have found another company to get sabers from in the meantime. In fact, if I have to dispute, I'm just going to take my refund and get another one from those guys

    Even though wait times have been extended, the community has always helped. I remember those fall raffle purchases that would get wrapped up and put under the Christmas tree...and waiting like a kid to open them. We would all chat about looking forward to that day. Nothing in my adult life ever quite made me feel like that except lightsabers.

    So not all the waiting has been unpleasant. But the company of other collectors was a big part of that.

    First time poster. I guess I got lucky with my first order and got a Azure Grand Master (gift for my wife) and it shipped 2 days later. Excellent and like I said lucky.
    There was a sale with a free random Initiate for fall, so I placed a second order for a Fallen LE on Sept 1st.
    Later come to find out about the lead time, increased orders they are handling, and back order of parts. So I'm sitting at 4 weeks and after reviewing this thread, decided to email to inquire.
    They replied the same day and advised that US has a lead time of 4 weeks for all orders. Of course I see everyone here with longer wait times, so I will just sit here and wait to see what happens.

    The two day turn around was fairly typical for US prior to last Christmas. At which point, no one really beat their turn around time. And while other companies frequently took 4-6 months on a good turn around, US is still beating that in many cases in spite of the pandemic. The problem is that they were normally so much faster than the rest...so they are competing with themselves, actually.

    They also had a stock of pre installed, wrapped mystery boxes on hand as well that usually went right out. So people see those MB videos with the super fast turn around and think that’s how everyone works, and how US is still working because in spite of the pandemic, they can magically build sabers to any specification on the spot.

    Nothing custom, just a MB and two pommels. If anything, I wondered of the pommels would be something out of stock. They’re both V5s for Dominix and Aeon to switch out some plainer pommels on other US hilts.

    I sent a follow up email in on this Sunday past (September 27th, 2020) as this was now past the 11th week from the initial order on July 10th, 2020.  I got an reply the next day (September 28th, 2020) from Customer Service.  Looks like my hilt was out of stock, and I had two primary options:

    “It looks like the Sentinel LE v4 that you ordered is currently out of stock due to this supply bottle neck.  We have been told by our manufacturer that we should expect to have the Sentinel LE v4 back in stock within 3-4 weeks.  I would like to present the following options to see how you would like to proceed in light of the delay with getting this hilt back in stock:

    1). If you can patiently wait the estimated 3-4 weeks ,then we will get this order shipped out as soon as these hilts are back in stock.
    OR
    2). We can substitute the Sentinel LE v4 for the Apprentice LE V5 OR Aeon V3 and get this order shipped within 1-2 business days for you.”

    Kinda figured that the hilt was out of stock, since the delay was already 11 weeks.

    I ended up going with the Apprentice LE V5. It shipped out the next day (September 29th, 2020). 

    And I am happy to say that it arrived today (October 1st, 2020)!


    Just got done testing it out to see if everything works, and it does! 
    Now I have to repack it and gift wrap it.

    I sent a follow up email in on this Sunday past (September 27th, 2020) as this was now past the 11th week from the initial order on July 10th, 2020.  I got an reply the next day (September 28th, 2020) from Customer Service.  Looks like my hilt was out of stock, and I had two primary options:

    “It looks like the Sentinel LE v4 that you ordered is currently out of stock due to this supply bottle neck.  We have been told by our manufacturer that we should expect to have the Sentinel LE v4 back in stock within 3-4 weeks.  I would like to present the following options to see how you would like to proceed in light of the delay with getting this hilt back in stock:

    1). If you can patiently wait the estimated 3-4 weeks ,then we will get this order shipped out as soon as these hilts are back in stock.
    OR
    2). We can substitute the Sentinel LE v4 for the Apprentice LE V5 OR Aeon V3 and get this order shipped within 1-2 business days for you.”

    Kinda figured that the hilt was out of stock, since the delay was already 11 weeks.

    I ended up going with the Apprentice LE V5. It shipped out the next day (September 29th, 2020). 

    And I am happy to say that it arrived today (October 1st, 2020)!


    Just got done testing it out to see if everything works, and it does! 
    Now I have to repack it and gift wrap it.



              * Art *




    They offered me the same for my Sentinel LE V5 however I've chosen to wait because I prefer the length though the Apprentice looks amazing and I think if I ever want to dual wield/make a staff I would go with two of them

    Got a reply to my email today, basically apologizing for the continued delay but offering me absolutely no information as to when I might be able to expect it. It was suggested that I email again on Wed. to see if they've gotten anymore information.

    I might do that. But at this point I'm pretty fed up and I might just dispute the charge with Paypal.

    I hope you don’t feel compelled to go that route, but if you do, then you do.  Here’s hoping that you get a quick reply that is to your liking!

    As a review for you all, I ordered a Fallen LE Combat on June 26th.  I got the audit email from Danielle on August 24th.  I was offered about 5 different options, or wait out a delay of 10-12 weeks, putting my shipment out to November.  I chose to wait it out, as it will likely be my only purchase and I really want this particular model.

    I just sent the “polite email with the order number in the subject line” follow up email, a few moments ago.  It is more or less to find out if that timeframe is still pretty firm.  I mean, I’ve waited this long, another month or so is okay, so long as the end remains in sight.

    I’ll let you all know what’s happening, once I get a reply.

    I ended up with the same. If I had changed the Spectre to one without graving and took a colored Butcher, I had got my order shipped within one day. But I have waited for 19 weeks now so I will wait some weeks more to get what I wanted.

    btw: The Fallen is a really nice saber (have the standard/black version). I have used it on some close up combat trainings. Maybe it's not the best to handle, but looks amazing. ;)

    Is it fair to assume that they don't have as many parts as they used to so Frankensabers might be a bit forced or not as varied as they used to be?

    That's one of the third party emails that get sent out; the company that runs the website that hosts all of Ultrasabers' reviews sends those out.  It's not from Ultrasabers directly, but it's not a spam/hoax either.

    I'm impatiently waiting for my Aeon v4!  ;D Even though I just placed the order a few days ago, I wish it was here already. I am so excited!! It's my second saber. It'll be guardian blue, have basic sound, be 32'' long, etc. I didn't do many add ons, because that what I did with my last one. But still, I can't wait to hold it in my hands!!!! I've heard only good things about the Aeon v4 and I can't wait to have one myself!!!!

    May the force be with you as you meditate to find where in the process your saber is in being made/shipped/delivered!

    Sent an email to Nichole, hoping for a status update.  I'm guessing the Dominix is still delayed since there's no word on it shipping out, so at this point I'm just hoping to get an idea of how long the delay is.  If the Dark Initiate LE v5 is still on the table, I might take it as an alternative.   I also asked if it would help to modify the configuration  - gold claws instead of silver, for example.   It's a long shot, but it's worth a shot.

    Stay tuned...

    So as I already know I'm still looking at about 4+ weeks for my lightsaber and due to spending time on this forum since ordering I'm now awaiting a response to see if I can modify my initial order from the below;

    Original
    Sentinel LE V5 - Premium Sound V4, Fire Orange, 36" UltraMid, Silver AV Switch, Circle Plug, Covertec Wheel
    2x Standard Blade Plug (For friends who bought before me but didn't get plugs)
    Mystery Box (Actually already added this a few days after intial order)
    1x Blade Plug (Summer Promotion which they added after adding mystery box as would have qualified if done in initial order)

    To the below which I now want the order to be
    Sentinel LE V5 - Premium Sound V4, Fire Orange, Silver FOC, 36" UltraMid, Orange Illuminated Silver AV Switch, Circle Plug, Covertec Wheel
    2x Standard Blade Plug
    Mystery Box
    1x Blade Plug (Summer Promo)
    Dorinian Pommel/ Dominicide LE Emitter (Not decided which I'd prefer for my sentinel pommel yet)
    Coupler with Vents (So I can make a staff with the mystery box if I wanted to)

    And hopefully if they can the Summer Promo Free Initiate as the changes would qualify me for it though I'm not expecting them to add it, rather hoping. Would give me 3 to display and let me have 2 lightsaber for if I got to a convention while allowing my missus to have one as well

    Good news ladies and gentlemen...I got an email!

    It’s not THE email, granted, but it basically says they’re out of Bellicose for now. On the other hand, they only list a 4-6 week delay, and that’s not bad considering it’s a Christmas gift. Less than 3 months and I’ll have them!

    Not bad, hopefully it won't go beyond the 6 week mark for you.  If it does, I'd consider an alternative, otherwise you're gonna be cutting it close.

    Trust me, it'll be worth the wait; I've got the black model, combat emitter...it is EASILY one of the best hilts they have, both as far as looks, and how it handles - to me it's not as heavy as you would think it should be, given the hilt's length.

    Thanks, Phoenix, that's reassuring to hear.  I ordered an identical one and was starting to get cold feet.  I even considered selling it after it arrived, but hearing how beautiful it is helps to set my heart at rest!

    I ordered the black version on June 11th (I think) and got an email on August 24th that the Combat Fallen would be back in stock in about 9-11 weeks, putting the late-date in mid-November.  I'm not sure if it's the same for the LE, but I hope that helps!

    If you go into the review section of the forum, my "arsenal" thread has a video unboxing that shows the Fallen, and a bunch of others here have similar videos as well.  The only real negative comment I've heard about it is that it's not 100% accurate to the one in the game, which is something I honestly could not care less about.

    I received my reply VERY quickly, which seems promising.  Brian informed me that the good news is that the Fallen LE Combat delays have not slipped.  The bad news being it is still 5-7 more weeks. I replied with a thank you for replying so quickly.

    So, still looking at before Thanksgiving.  Given I’ve waited over three months and we’re now in October, I take this as a positive.

    The reply might be hopeful news for you. There is still a 5-7 week delay in US receiving the hilts.  So, if you ordered on September 1st, I’d say your delay might not be a frustratingly long as it has been for me and for others before me.  Hang in there.  It sounds like the end is in sight.

    Just a small update. I was told that Dark Sentinel v4 and Dark Sentinel v5 are out of stock and looking at a 3 to 4 week restock.
    I was told this yesterday (October 2nd).

    This was holding up my orders, so when they offered to switch to Dark Apprentice v4 and v5 for my respective orders I accepted.
    I haven't heard back from them yet but I am looking forward to getting my Dark Apprentice sabers and the Second Prize from the Summer Raffle soon.

    My MB and pommels were picked up by the USPS yesterday and delivery is scheduled for Monday. That will make the total turnaround time from placing my order to having it in hand 5 days. Since I haven’t ordered a MB from US since early in the year, I’m excited to see what arrives. Will it be something good? Honestly, just hoping it’s a hilt I don’t have. I wanted to check in with US and be supportive since we are all having our own brand of issues this year. And some of the hate videos really ticked me off. Best way to respond was be supportive even in some small way since my finances aren’t exactly great right now either.

    Besides, I wan’t to start doing some installs of my own soon as finances permit and having some stunt sabers to play around with I think will be a great way to start. I already have a Standard Issue battle Saber that is at the top of the list for an install. Unless I get something I like better :)

    They told me 5+ weeks a week ago for the Sentinel LE V5 so that could be promising for me as I didn't take the switch and I assume the dark and LE would be on the same wait As a LE V5 Apprentice was offered to me as a switch meaning they have both dark and LE apprentice hilts in stock

    Just ordered a Mystery Box to help tide me over.
    Put my Summer sale order in on August 6th. At this point I chose to believe the 3 to 4 weeks for fabrication stack. Four sabers plus two freebies equals 24 weeks so, I'm expecting mid-January. Hopefully I will be surprised.

    Stay tuned...

    No word from Nichole yet.  But, to be fair, I did send the email on Friday; she might have had the weekend off.  I can wait.

    Meanwhile, my head is spinning with what to do after I let the cat out of the bag and give these sabers to the boys...starting a YouTube channel, for starters, then coming up with a display area in my room to keep these things - I know exactly what I want to do with that, it's just a matter of getting the stuff.  Then, I figure once a month, order a saber from my wish list until I have the ones I want, and finish things off with a couple each of the $75 and $200 mystery boxes.   It'll all make for some nice unboxing videos for the aforementioned YouTube channel.   I'll probably peruse what some of the other guys have as well, but Ultrasabers isn't losing my business at all.

    Yeah, I'm getting ahead of myself.  But dammit, it's fun!    ;D

    Point for you...not sure if you prefer light or dark though. Let me know and I’ll switch up if i got it wrong.

    My love of MBs have not diminished. I’ve ordered 6 at this point. Which is nothing compared to those people unboxing 20 at a clip. But even I could spend that much on lightsabers in one fell swoop, I might get at least one really good saber with some bells and whistles out of the deal. Then order those MBs separately to tide me over during the wait as you said :)

    I'm waiting on my Diamond Dominicide and a Diamond Azure Mantis. I ordered them on July 24th, and it has been 10 weeks now, and I was really hoping for my order to be here by now. I went with the full summer sale so I could get 5 sabers and just really hope I get something good out of the mystery bag.

    Though with the new V5s, does anyone know if those will be part of the initiate grab bag from when I ordered or will it be one of the earlier versions?

    I know the Dominicide is one of the hilts that's affected by the material shortages; one member on here has been waiting longer than you have.  I think the Mantis is as well.  You'll get them; I have yet to hear of anybody's order getting flat out canceled, but it's gonna be a waiting game for you.  You're certainly in sympathetic and empathetic company.

    As for the V5s....it's hard to say.  I got a free Initiate with my first order and it was a v2, but the grab bag saber I got was the Apprentice LE v5.   My advice is to expect one of the earlier versions, but if you get one of the newer ones, huzzah.

    Just for comparision:   A buddy of mine ordered a custom saber from one of the other guys.   High end, fully custom, so not really in the same bracket as US.  He ordered his saber a week after lockdown, on March 28th.   He's still waiting, but he thinks he might get it in time for May the 4th of 2021. 

    Not really an apples-to-apples comparison but I wanted to throw it out there.  In the words of the old proverb: It could always be worse...

    Yeah.  I was shocked, too.  Especially when I considered what he's PAYING for it.   LOL     But its a 100% custom job, custom design, lots of bells and whistles.  Sort of a a McLaren 720S where US is building Mustangs.   The Mustang is nice, the Shelby GT350R is amazing ... but its not a McLaren.  :-)

    Put that way, I can see why it's taking a long time, but to wait over a year for the thing?  That's jedi discipline on a whole new level.

    Confirmed that the Fallen is 11-14 week delay due to manufacturing backlog as a result of...you guessed it...the PANDEMIC!  it is unfortunate but at least i'm alive and will motivate me to be safe so I can be when it gets here.

    Just got my second additions to my order sorted out. 
    To give a timeframe Original Order 20/09, Emailed 23/09 to get an idea on timeframe and also add a mystery box, Resolved on 24/09 and advised 5+ weeks for Sentinel Hilt, Emailed on 01/10 as decided wanted to make a few other additions, first response on 05/10, resolved on 07/10.

    So for me they are doing a great job with responses, have asked whether the 5+ week estimate has decreased in the 2 weeks and awaiting this reply.

    Also for an idea of the number of orders they are receiving my original order was on 20/09, the first addition order was on 24/09 and the order number was 700~ higher, the order today (07/09) was 2,650~ higher than the 24/09 order (so 3,350 higher than the original order in just under 2 weeks).

    You mean that the Fallen is delayed 11-14 weeks from today?  Because I got an e-mail about 4-5 weeks ago saying it was a 9-11 week delay, which would mean about 5-7 weeks from now.

    Thanks for making me clarify - i was being a bit lazy to not check for more details prior to posting.
    As of October 1, for the Fallen with Standard emitter, I was told 12-14 week delay. 
    I am taking the range as general a timeframe for when to start following up again.

    That’s good information to know. Planning a video where i discuss a few of these things from a business standpoint. I’ll probably get a fair amount of haters, but collectors and even casual buyers aren’t thinking about US as a small business with that many orders coming in while trying to stay open during the pandemic. Which makes them heroes to some and a target for others. And there isn’t really a lot of middle ground or logical perspective applied.

    Good point.  I have a lot of sympathy for US during this insane backlog they're having to deal with.  I do think it would help them a lot--and it would be responsible and fair to future customers--if they would at least put some notice of their situation and COVID delay on their website.  Maybe they should even consider not taking orders for awhile until they can get their backlog sorted out, as some other companies have been doing.

    I am sure though that they're fighting hard to keep up with demand, and I'm thankful for all they're doing.  I just wish they would take some steps to stop the bottleneck from worsening.

    Warning of delay/putting out of stock on hilts or components that are known to be backlogged would be a good idea however they are still getting some orders out quickly for stuff that is readily in stock so it would be a bad business move to stop accepting all orders. 

    I think the best thing would be to put a warning message on items that are on backlog along the lines of "Warning, this item is currently in backlog, please be aware including this item in your order may delay the order. Please email [email protected] should you wish to find out when this item should be back in stock"

    This would help people decided whether they want to choose another hilt or even split their orders so they can get the other items sooner.

    Well-said!  Light-side point incoming.  You're right, I forgot that they do have some hilts in stock already.  I do agree that the hilts that are out of stock should actually be listed that way on the website, though.  It's a little misleading to say that they're available in 3-4 weeks.

    Appreciate it and I feel there is a reason some of the hilts have been marked as out of stock and others that are known to have delays such as the Fallen noted above are not. Without inside insight it's always going to be assumption game however I have a few theories though they would only be that. 

    - Ones marked out of stock have been confirmed by suppliers to have long delays and thus the website has been updated.

    - Ones with waits but not marked out of stock have a given timeframe for shipment and likely they get the shipments sent in bulk and the amount sold on the website is still less than the number that will be shipped in this bulk order. Once this point is reached they will either mark as out of stock or possible try to increase the size of the bulk order likely saving them on cost (suppliers tend to give bulk buy discounts in tiers)

    - Ones marked as in stock weren't expected to be delayed as much as they are and it is the suppliers constantly pushing back the ship date rather than having said there would be a severe delay causing these hilts to not be marked as out of stock.

    - Hilt isn't out of stock but certain component has become out of stock though this is unlikely in the situations where they offer alternate hilts.

    - What's in stock and what's not is changing so fast that outside of some definitely confirmed out of stock hilts it's difficult for them to update their stock levels. A lot of companies still rely on manually updating rather than scanning and a CRM to update.


    As noted they should add a warning but I feel a bit of it may be down to wanting those orders to come in so they can keep running as a business, if they have people working around the clock to answer email backlogs etc they need to be able to fund that.
    Getting "preorders" for hilts likely also as noted helps bring down the cost of each individual hilt and it may not be the machinists ability to make a load of hilts quickly that is the issue, it might be they are waiting on the materials the make them.
    As someone noted in another post, there are way to many moving parts related to making each lightsaber, this is probably why people get estimates that increase or X+ weeks. If they give a timeframe they have likely been advised that by whoever supplies the part causing the delay and the supplier may be the reason this has increased. If they give a X+ it's likely they do not have a specific timeframe but have a general idea of the minimum it will likely take.
    Also people need to remember it's not a Amazon Warehouse where they are stacked up waiting there (maybe GB & MB are) and even Amazon it taking longer than normal at times during this Pandemic.

    My one advice for anyone looking to order would be, if you know what you want, order it but expect it could take awhile, if you want to know how long, email them before ordering. If you want something delivered fast, email them and check what hilts and configurations would be shipped fast currently.

    Sent an email to Nichole, hoping for a status update.  I'm guessing the Dominix is still delayed since there's no word on it shipping out, so at this point I'm just hoping to get an idea of how long the delay is.  If the Dark Initiate LE v5 is still on the table, I might take it as an alternative.   I also asked if it would help to modify the configuration  - gold claws instead of silver, for example.   It's a long shot, but it's worth a shot.

    Stay tuned...

    Heard back from Nichole; they still do not have the Dominix, but there's no concrete timeline yet, either.  It's still week to week.  As to me switching things around, it's the hilt itself they don't have, so changing the configuration isn't an option.  So, I'll just wait and check in next week with fingers crossed.

    Good theories.  You might have hit the nail right on the head there.

    The thing is, a lot of this stuff we only know because people have been discussing it on the forums (delays, hilt exchanges, the way the company functions, etc.).  A new customer or even a returning customer that's not on the forums wouldn't know anything about US's situation before buying a saber, and to me, that seems misleading.  There ought to be some sort of obvious disclaimer on the site, even if it's just a message saying that the situation is changing on a week-by-week basis.  Someone new to the saber market would see "3-4 weeks" and, without anyone to advise them, would probably end up frustrated.  I want so badly to advocate for US, but there are some things they can do to improve.

    Oh, trust me, even those of us who are fans of the company will readily agree with you...a little edit on their website will go a long way.

    I agree that they should do something to better portray the potential waits, why they haven't already I do not know. I doubt time is the issue with all the sale updates etc so it feels like a decision that has been made not to make any changes.
    Hopefully the fact that it appears their email response time has improved will help alleviate some of the complaints over the last few months.

    Lots of great points. I agree that marking hilts as being out of stock would not only help customers, but cut down on emails asking about orders.

    I also agree it would be bad for business to shut down at this point. If they did that initially...maybe it wouldn’t have had as many negative repercussions, but with all the unfilled orders from the holiday movie season, people still would’ve cancelled orders left and right. At this point, however, the haters would have a field day and probably even more cancelled orders would ensue.

    We also have to consider that Emory was planning upgrades like Neo pixel...which has probably been delayed at this point due to the pandemic. But if he doesn’t maintain an influx of cash it would likely jeopardize his plans and his business further. Because this is a necessary step if US is to keep up in the market place.

    I would also suggest in terms of marketing that they reassert the fact that they are, and always have been, a combat saber company as well as being an affordable saber company...more durable than fancy in many cases. But with other companies coming into the fold with a lot of features, including sound sabers on every tier, including MBs, US upgrades will likely have to consider these thing going forward. And that usually means an investment of cash up front if the decide on any sort of overhaul.

    This last part being mostly speculation on my part, but Emory has done well in offering options other companies did not in the past. So my thoughts are he is considering how to innovate for the future. That’s just good business sense.

    Yeah, doing it early would have helped.  I actually said it wrong; I didn't mean they should shut down completely, but that they should stay in production but stop taking in any more orders until they've gotten through more of their massive backlog.  One Malaysian saber company is doing that, and it seems to be working.

    I took this as your meaning in my earlier reply and stand by my prior reply that a full stop on all orders would be bad as they can still get certain hilts out quickly. At most stop orders on any hilts which are on a timely delay (Anything over their 3-4 week lead time maybe).

    However as they're still doing promotions and I made use of their Summer Sale to order my Sentinel which was on a 5+ week wait at the time this would have actually negatively effected me if I could not have order it at the time so there is always pros & cons to any decision.

    Some good points here; I especially like the notion that the company has upgrades and overhauls planned, and that the money coming in from all these orders is helping to provide the cash fuel necessary to implement them.   Granted, the madness of 2020 is hindering their forward progress, but I like to think that this is all part of a plan besides making more money.

    I will say this, and I think it tends to get overlooked...when you order from Ultrasabers, you get your order. You may end up waiting for longer than you'd like, but you get your order.  I've lost count of the number of times we've had an order from Amazon just up and get cancelled without warning because it was out of stock, or some other reason.  Used to drive my wife nuts, and it really sucked when it happened around the holidays.

    For all the complaints I hear about Ultrasabers, I've never heard of them flat out canceling an order.   Only time someone doesn't get what they ordered was because they took an alternative that was offered.  Which is another nice touch; shows that they are making an effort.

    Exactly. 2020 has been insane. 1 in 5 businesses have gone under. The fact that US is going steady in spite of tough times is really a Herculean effort on their part. And there’s certainly a co-dependency in terms of sales.  I completely understand the concern of customers. But there’s nothing US could really say at this point that isn’t on the boards. So I think if you place an order, it’s pretty clear you could be waiting a while. In most cases, that wait is still a better turn around time than some companies. So unless folks are ordering from a company that manufactures runs of ready to ship stock, there’s a wait. Then consider the long breaks in getting new stock even for those companies. Lightsaber collecting has never been like collecting model cars or action figures. Time and supply is always subject to build time, how many sabers in each run, and a number of other things that require planning. Some smaller companies have spent months designing and processing before their limited runs are available. I know some folks who waited a year after placing an order. Lightsaber companies are all small indie companies with a handful of employees or individual builders and installers.

    I have not tried to do an unboxing video before, I might have to try. It will be hard to do if it comes on the scheduled day, Sunday. I am hoping for an early delivery on Saturday.  I have to fit sleeping in with watching my Browns play.

    My second prize from the summer raffle.

    (https://i.imgur.com/gwe8sbM.jpg)

    Azure Mantis GB, Obsidian Lite, no claws, silver A/V, squared pommel, left side Covertech

    Pros:
    The color! This is a thing of beauty and the GB works so well with it.
    The aesthetic. This thing is elegant (IMO) like it is designed for dueling one handed, very much like proper fencing.

    Cons:
    No Flash on Clash
    No volume control
    One Sound Font

    All my sabers are now here and there will not be any more for a while as my wallet has sustained several significant wounds lately. However, I will be watching for flash sales and other good deals.

    Apologies if this is not quite the proper place for this post.

    Beautiful saber, Starflicker!  What's it like holding a curved saber?  Does it take some getting used to, or does it feel natural?

    And no worries; this thread is for all of us who are gasping and crawling through the Desert of Delay™, and every time someone makes it to the Oasis of Arrival™ is cause to celebrate. :)

    Post by: Starflicker on October 09, 2020, 08:01:08 AM
    The curved saber is kinda odd.

    The way the button is set up you pretty much have to hold it the way that you see Doku hold it in the prequels.
    Seems very much a 'fencing' style saber.
    The bend where the body narrows before the shroud is a natural choke point for me.

    Also the Mantis seems heavy to me.
    The balance point with the UEMG 36 inch Blade seems to be just ahead of the silver shroud. About 1/8 inch.
    The double body (Silver Ribbed body with an Azure Shroud) below the curve and the large pommel give it significant (IMO) weight.
    To me this seems to allow me to move the blade very naturally around that balance point, but does not seem to allow me the powerful strikes (not that power generally matters when wielding a barely leashed bolt of plasma).

    I'm not sure how one would effectively use it two handed, but that may be a failure of my imagination, also I haven't really found a comfortable point at which to spin the saber. I had to leave for work soon after unboxing it and, without a volume control on the Obsidian Lite, I cannot use it around my house after others have gone to sleep, so my practice with it has been limited.

    It feels to me like it is more about control and speed, rather than spins and flourishes.
    While it is a nice saber, I think it is also quite limiting.
    The shape limits my stance and range of movement with the blade. This could be a failing in my own training, since I have no sword skills at all.
    The weight also would be a limiting factor, since it feels like it would tire one out relatively quickly.

    The Guardian Blue looks amazing with the Azure anodizing.

    The Left Side Covertech is perfect. I just need to procure a proper belt clip now.

    This is likely to become a project saber for me, or I might just buy one with proper electronics.

    I now regret not chipping in the extra cash to make it a Diamond, or at the very least an Obsidian v4.
    The Obsidian Lite board is seriously limited, even if it is wonderfully loud and clear with the sound that it does produce.
    An Arctic Blue Flash on Clash would have made this absolutely awesome.

    I remember reading somewhere that Christopher Lee had some background in fencing, so the curved hilt was designed with that in mind.  I think you'll get used to it over time the more you use it.

    Hi Jedi Phoenix and Starflicker,

    Yes Christopher Lee was very experienced in fencing (having had around 400 on screen duels iirc) and he talks about some of them in this YT video (apologies but I diidn't know where to post this so both members could see it - so if the Mods want to move it somewhere more appropriate I understand)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef4njNsDVos# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef4njNsDVos#)

    Finally to Starflicker, congrats on winning such a neat saber. Hopefully US will come up with a new curved hilt one day.

    Love the Christopher Lee video!  I didn't realize he even had background in fencing, but I guess it makes sense.

    Very detailed and well-thought out analysis, Starflicker!  It definitely sounds like a specialized saber.  Does the Obsidian Lite not come with a mute mode so you can use it without waking everyone up?  I thought that all sabers had that.

    One thing the video doesn't mention; Lee was John Carpenter's first choice to play Dr. Loomis in Halloween, but Lee turned it down.  He later said that turning down the role was perhaps the biggest mistake of his career.  What could have been, hmm?

    Loomis would’ve had quite a different attitude, that’s for sure. Although hard to imagine anyone but Donald Pleasence reciting those lines at this point :)

    Okay, now I know I've got it bad....I've got a notebook open and I'm writing down a shopping list of all the sabers I want, including writing down the specs and configurations and prices for future reference.   And not just Ultrasabers, there are a few of the other guys' sabers I've got my eye on.  I have a feeling my future youtube channel is going to be very lightsaber heavy, althoughI do have a few other ideas for it.

    It certainly is a fun hobby..... ;D

    Point for you...not sure if you prefer light or dark though. Let me know and I’ll switch up if i got it wrong.

    My love of MBs have not diminished. I’ve ordered 6 at this point. Which is nothing compared to those people unboxing 20 at a clip. But even I could spend that much on lightsabers in one fell swoop, I might get at least one really good saber with some bells and whistles out of the deal. Then order those MBs separately to tide me over during the wait as you said :)


    Light? Dark? It's all about balance!

    Ordered the MB on Sunday, arrived on Thursday. Aeon V3 in blue. Not entirely sure which blue it is. It's lighter than my old Force FX Skywalker blue. Same saber as my first MB, just different color and finish.
    Sent customer service an email in response to the "delivery confirmation" message. I'll pass on any info I get back.

    Aeon v3 is a very nice saber. IMO.
    Simple, nice balance, easy to spin, and lots of potential for customization.
    Blue is a great bonus, because if you get a Photon Blade the blue will make it glow amazingly.

    From Sunday to Thursday?  That's a pretty good turnaround time.   Sounds like you might have gotten Arctic Blue for a color if its a lighter blue than normal.

    US was always a good company. The present lag time and certain opinions circulating have little to do with reality. But that’s just it, it’s an opinion. And no one is twisting their arm to buy from the company. I’ve seen guys with three lightsabers acting like experts on what’s going on in the world of lightsabers and US specifically. I’ve also seem some who have been collecting a while who have been saying the same things about US for years...with a hefty dose of bias. Thing is, if you have enough cash to by the high end stuff, you’re probably going to thing US are pretty basic. However, not all of us have a grand or two to drop on those high end pieces. It’s a whole other realm of collecting...but doesn’t mean other sabers aren’t fun :)

I got the fallen azure with premium obsidian sound and adegan silver with rgb color discs because jedi fallen order is one of my favorite games and the lightsaber design is so awesome in my opinion. I’m already thinking about my next saber purchase which will be more dark side influenced. I’ve heard great reviews about ultrasabers so I’m glad my first purchase is with them. If any of you experienced guys and gals have any have any pointers or advice on anything I’d love to hear it! Have a great day everyone and may force be with you! ;D

    EXCELLENT choice for a first saber; I've got the black Fallen in tri-cree silver and LOVE IT.  It's easily my favorite from the site.

    Best advice I can give you is to have some patience; there's a good chance you'll end up waiting longer than the 3-4 week estimate that the site says, only because the world is rather topsy-turvy lately.  I think the azure Fallen is one of the hilts that's on backorder.   That being said, you WILL get it; I have yet to hear of anybody's order getting straight up canceled by the company itself, no matter how long they have to wait.

    When it does arrive, we'll naturally expect pictures and/or a video.  We're rather fond of that kind of stuff, as you may have seen.   ;D

    Today I received an email from customer service saying that unfortunately, they have yet another delay with the hilt that I ordered on May 5th and that I can downgrade (to multiple V4s and V3s of sabers that I do not want). So I opened a dispute with Paypal.

    At this point, I don't want the saber anymore, and will just get a saber that I've had my eye on from one of their (superior) competitors. To be honest, the thing that bums me out the most is that I had ordered a sweet blade plug and the covertec clip. I can get the clip elsewhere, but that plug is sweet.

    But sadly, Ultrasabers has lost my business, and I don't think that there's much that would bring me back to buy from them again. I'll stick around here though, because I really enjoy this community. I'll just be getting my sabers elsewhere from now on.

    I'm sorry for you. I had the advantage to know about the shipping delays before I had made my order. But I can understand the frustration.

    In my opinion the biggest issue is the lack of communication about real shipping times. As I have made my order 6 months ago, all sabers are listed on stock. Now I know they are not and I have to wait at least to the end of year. That said, I got an offer from customer service I could change to a ready to delivery saber marked as out of stock since beginning of the year. But others - not available - still listed as on stock.
    I know there are a lot of options you can make for a custom saber. But after you made your choices it should be easy for a reasonably up-to-date system to calculate the availability. And with all orders and reservations and reasonably maintained supplier data this system should also be able to calculate an approximately delay of delivery time.
    But yeah, to say all parts are on stock and ready to ship 4 weeks later is easier than to admit it could take 40 weeks.

    EXCELLENT choice for a first saber; I've got the black Fallen in tri-cree silver and LOVE IT.  It's easily my favorite from the site.

    Best advice I can give you is to have some patience; there's a good chance you'll end up waiting longer than the 3-4 week estimate that the site says, only because the world is rather topsy-turvy lately.  I think the azure Fallen is one of the hilts that's on backorder.   That being said, you WILL get it; I have yet to hear of anybody's order getting straight up canceled by the company itself, no matter how long they have to wait.

    When it does arrive, we'll naturally expect pictures and/or a video.  We're rather fond of that kind of stuff, as you may have seen.   ;D

    If it works like editing posts, you can only delete a post within a certain amount of time after you first publish the post.  After that, only a moderator/admin can change or remove a post.

    Looking forward to your unboxing video!

    "It looks like the Dominicide that you ordered is currently out of stock due to this supply bottle neck.  We have been told by our machine shop that we should expect to have the Dominicide back in stock within 2-3 weeks."

    So just a heads up for anyone ordering one of these.

    Give it a day or two and then if no response just forward your last email saying your checking it came through to her.
    My last conversation for changes I got 1-2 replies a day in the chain and next reply would usually come the next working day so don't worry

    So, as many of you know, I've been waiting on a Dominix LE v5 since late June as a Christmas gift for my brother.  I've been checking in with Nichole on just about a weekly basis, including an email I sent about an hour ago.

    Just heard back from Nichole...and my faith and patience have been rewarded; they received a large shipment of those exact hilts yesterday, and my order is currently being fabricated.   It'll ship in 1-2 business days.

    So I shot an email to check the status of Lost Gray and Fulcrum (knowing they are still a ways off but wanting to check there have been no further slippages) and the reply as of this morning is 9-11 weeks (longer than what's posted above).  So the chances of having by Christmas are slim to none despite ordering "in stock" items (which have remained listed as in stock this entire period) with a 3-4 week "fabrication" window in May.  Now I get Corona has impacted world supply chains, but 1 month vs 7 months is not really acceptable.  Especially when they know full well they are out of stock but keep selling them.

    Now by complete coincidence, the blades for some hilts someone bought me from Galaxy's Edge and shipped to Australia via USPS in August arrived today (the hilts last month) so at least I have something to play with.

    And in a further coincidence, I also got a shipping notice today for a full Neopixel set up I ordered in late July from one of the "other guys".  They disclosed a 16 week lead time at the time of ordering and have delivered in 12 weeks (US is now on week 21 with at least 9-11 more weeks to go).

    I am sure I am going to love my US sabers when they finally arrive, but, the purchasing experience has not been a good one.  Every other company I've seen is being transparent with their timeframes at the point of order and not taking orders for hilts that are out of stock.  Setting an expectation and failing it seven fold is not good business practice.  I will say the US customer services has been great (once able to get in a conversation with them).  They have been friendly and helpful, offering apologies and alternatives (the only other blades I might be interested in are also well out of stock).  I know CS are working their butts off and probably dealing with a lot of anger so I hold them in the highest regard maintaining such a friendly and positive attitude to the customers.  They all deserve pay rises.  The decision makers who chose to keep taking orders they know can't be delivered within promised timeframes (either by not marking "back order" and by choosing to keep saying 3-4 weeks fabrication), well I don't have kind words for them.

    I think this has been my biggest detraction to US so far. Why quote 3-4 weeks for fabrication when it ends up being way longer. If it had said 12-16 week fabrication when I ordered, I would have had a better idea of what to expect as a realistic time frame.

    I agree 100%. That sets realistic expectations. I also ordered from a competitor company since I really liked one of their hilts. They straight up said 12-15 weeks.
    As it stands, I ordered Sept 1st and I was told on Oct 8th that mine was still 9 to 11 weeks away.

    Fair point there!  IF mine ships on Monday, I'm not totally sure when I'd receive it.  I opted for the free standard shipping, so I'm hoping by the end of next week, but hell it may be a whole week out!  If yours does come in on Wednesday I'd say you have a decent chance of beating me to the punch XD

    My last two orders were Free Shipping, and I've never had a problem; they were picked up at the company by FedEx on a Monday, and I had them in hand by Thursday that same week, and I live in New England, so it's a bit of a hike from Texas.  The difference between free shipping and 2-day is that you have to wait maybe an extra day. 

    To be fair, things might work differently if the order is going overseas, but in the continental U.S., I don't think the extra cost for 2-day shipping is worth it.

    Well said, Momaw.  This is exactly what I've wanted to say, but haven't known how to say it.  They've got good customer service, but really irresponsible business practices and downright misleading information on their website.  I hate to say it, but as much as I appreciate US's hard work in this crisis and their beautiful hilts, this is probably the last time I'll be buying from them.

    Sure, they're getting more orders by listing backordered sabers as in-stock, but is it worth losing future customers and making a bad name for themselves?

    To be fair, some items are still being shipped not only within 3-4 weeks, but some within 1-2 weeks.

    HOWEVER, having said that, giving a longer timeframe to set expectations would (I would hope) go a long way toward alleviating some of the frustration, and would certainly go along with the old saw about under-promising and over-delivering.

    Yes, this is the most puzzling thing. AndI’ve wondered why they just didn’t take a few minutes that would likely save hour for customer service.

    I’ve also thought about the above mentioned hilts being listed in stock when they are not.

    Then I thought about how sometimes when they have listed hilts as out of stock they’ve shown up in Mystery Boxes.

    The only reasonable conclusion I’ve come to in all of this comes under the question: why would US make more work for themselves and add to their own frustration? My best answer is it’s about production...from the machine shop to be precise. The metal bars used to make hilts would have to be in different diameters for the various sabers. So they order what’s available. Some are probably more plentiful than others. The Lost grey, for example, seems to be a larger hilt and has experienced more delays. So I’m going to reason that thicker steal bars are not as plentiful currently.

    Add that to the average orders from US and what’s the most equitable runs...meaning, what’s the most cost effective to make based on the amount of sabers ordered because the machines probably need to be broken down and/or reprogrammed for each run. So orders for a few sabers aren’t going to take precedence for those which might constitute a larger run. I.E.: the time it takes to do a number of small runs in a day and getting less produced Vs. larger runs and getting more out in a given day.

    Something along those lines is usually how factories work in terms of production. And being short handed and overwhelmed by the number of orders coming in from US, I can almost bet those smaller runs are getting shuffled between the larger orders and this is why the orders sent out by US has no sequential order, why others are delayed longer, and the control over this from one shipment to the next probably isn’t entirely in US hands.

    They can call and ask, but if the steel isn’t there like is was prior to the pandemic in the quantities it used to be, I’m thinking it’s a bit of a crap shoot on some of what they get from one shipment to the next.

    I could be off base, but something in this ballpark would certainly account for US not doing the simple task of updating their site because if supply and demand is in constant flux...they may not actually know until the machine shop gets their shipment and lets them know what’s possible for the next month or so.

    That was long winded...hope it makes sense :)

    Yes, this is the most puzzling thing. AndI’ve wondered why they just didn’t take a few minutes that would likely save hour for customer service.

    I’ve also thought about the above mentioned hilts being listed in stock when they are not.

    Then I thought about how sometimes when they have listed hilts as out of stock they’ve shown up in Mystery Boxes.

    The only reasonable conclusion I’ve come to in all of this comes under the question: why would US make more work for themselves and add to their own frustration? My best answer is it’s about production...from the machine shop to be precise. The metal bars used to make hilts would have to be in different diameters for the various sabers.

    A email I had today from asking if the machinist had given a updated timeframe on the Sentinel LE V5 might back up what you've just stated

    "Thank you for your patience. Due to the current state of the world our machine shop that machines all of the hilts is running behind right now. We are trying to get all order filled as quickly as possible but with these delays it makes it hard. It appears as though the Sentinel LE v5 Hilts have been delayed further from the machine shop but I can assist you with making any changes necessary to your order to get it shipped as quickly as possible if you would like. If you would like to wait for the hilts to return to stock that is an option as well. Please let me know what option works best for you so I can assist you.

     

    Thanks for choosing Ultrasabers.  Feel free to email us here with any other questions or concerns.

    I have emailed back to just confirm there is no timeframe as current which is some ways may be better than an inaccurate one (the timeframes may be purely based on what they have been given by the machinist themselves) 
    I have also asked whether they can split shipping the order because you never know however I feel it's unlikely especially with me being in the UK, but you never know unless you ask., just ask politely if you do.

    This can be very frustrating, but it is very likely that US doesn't have a good update from the machinist.  Not a good situation all around, but the only cure for it is patience.

    This might be the actual problem, or at least one of them; Nichole told me they expected to have the Dominix LE v5 hilts two weeks ago but only got them this week.  They really hate that they've got their customers waiting like this.

    To be fair, some items are still being shipped not only within 3-4 weeks, but some within 1-2 weeks.

    HOWEVER, having said that, giving a longer timeframe to set expectations would (I would hope) go a long way toward alleviating some of the frustration, and would certainly go along with the old saw about under-promising and over-delivering.

    Absolutely. Being up front on lead times and coming forward when they've experienced a delay would go a long way in preserving the customer base. 

    I've been thinking today that upgrading/updating their order system on the website would also be a MASSIVELY worthwhile investment.  I know my order is currently being finished/prepped to ship but it still just says 'Processing' on the order tracking page.  At the very least they could have multiple stages (Received, Processing, Fabrication, Quality Checking, Delayed, Shipping, etc.), but honestly either adopting a system or creating their own that tracks SKU's would save them hundreds of man hours and open them up to fully tackle this backlog.
    I just wish the website was actually up to date on what was out of stock and in stock. I want to order some emitters but I also don't want to wait until 5+ months.
    Batmike, my best advice would just be to email CS about the specific emitters you're after. I emailed yesterday asking about the Initiate V5 hilts I intend to order for my kids, and Cade(CSR) emailed back within a few hours and confirmed that they would be available immediately.  So it looks like they're getting better about email response times, at least!

    This is very encouraging, especially since it's not the same one rep answering emails, but instead it looks like they're all making a collective effort.  I don't want to sound like a cheerleader, but I really hope this means they're starting to turn things around.

    Guess who just got his Golden Ticket? 

    *Renfield laugh*

    My guess is it'll be picked up by FedEx tomorrow and will probably be delivered Monday or Tuesday, I'll have to reroute it like I did the other two orders.  Stay tuned...

    The package has been picked up.  Scheduled delivery date is Wednesday.  Now the waiting gets really difficult....

    I did notice an odd trend, however.

    Laura, the one that seems to be handling my order, only responds to my emails once per day, regardless of when my response was sent; conversely Cade and I exchanged 4 emails inside of 2 hours.  While I'm not one to complain about how fortunate I was that my Spectres just happened to be in stock, in reality the emails we've exchanged regarding my pommels/upgrading my Frankensaber could've been exchanged within a few hours of a single business day, which means that ultimately my order could have shipped a couple of days prior to whenever it is set to ship currently.  Like I said, not complaining. Just odd.

    Ye in truth it seems the delays are purely the machinist currently and not other parts like battery packs. This likely is what leads to the difficulty for US to say what is in and out of stock as likely they are relying on the machinist to let them know. Likely the ones "Out of Stock" on US the machinist has flat out said they will not be able to produce for a while for one reason or another.  

    This could also give cause to the lack of website updates by US, they cannot stop selling because they need to pay their employees, if they were to suddenly stop taking orders now they'd likely have to stop paying workers and I'm not sure what the US plan for this is (like the UK Furlough scheme) but it would in the very least mean no one would be answering the emails then so the orders that are active would become radio silent.

    Anyway without proper insight into the company it's really hard to give a true reason for all their choices and unfortunately people need to remember we're in a pandemic which has turned the world upside down and while people are excited to get their saber (like myself, I cannot stand the wait), remember it's a luxury item and waiting for it won't kill you.

    Hopefully things will change for the better soon

    I don't know about the United States, but in Australia this practice is highly illegal - misleading and deceptive conduct under the Trade Practices Act.  Selling items they don't have to keep the lights on may even be trading while insolvent (an accountant would know the answer to that one better).

    There's a simple solution that would save so much angst on both sides.  Add a status of "backordered" and description that says, "Products on backorder are not currently in stock for fabrication.  These items may be ordered but the timeframe for delivery cannot be guaranteed.  Please contact Ultrasabers before ordering if you would like an indication of timeframes for any backordered items".  They could even add something like "Due to the popularity of this product, it sells out quickly.  Additional hilts are on backorder...".  Gives people reason to get in the queue or risk missing out again if they wait.

    Then they can have their cake and eat it.  They can maintain their "fasted" fabrication and delivery rep (as backordered wouldn't factor in), they can keep selling these hilts in the meantime, and customers would be more informed and bombarding them with less emails and anger. 

    Surely that's not a hard implementation?

    First ... illegal?  Lets stay away from making those kinds of inflammatory remarks.   I think everyone can agree that US is doing their utmost to get everyone's orders out as quickly as possible.

    And to that end, let me postulate a hypothetical, to hopefully illuminate just how complex this situation is.

    Today, I go to the website and I decide I want to order a saber.   I look, and after some internal struggle I finally decide on an Aeon V4 LE with Obsidian Lite, a lit AV, and a Consular Green Tri-Cree LED.

    And I place my order.   On the day I place my order, US just got a shipment of Aeon V4 LE hilts in, so there's a whole bin full of them....

    ....but there are also a lot of orders ahead of mine in the queue.

    So, my order sits in queue for 2 weeks, and the day comes to assemble my saber.   Yay!  Except there's a problem.   There are Aeon V4 LE hilts available, but the last shipment of lit AV switches in the color I ordered was short by 100 units due to issues with the supplier.   The guys on the line check, there's another box coming in a week.   So my order gets set aside for a week.

    The week goes by, and about half-way through the week my order gets picked up again.  This time there's an AV switch, and the the hilt ... but now there's no Obsidian Lite cards available.   The shipment from the supplier that was due yesterday is late.

    Again the order goes back into the queue.

    Another week goes by.   Then two.   Then three.   And the Obsidian Lite cards finally come in, a half-shipment, but better than nothing!

    The hilt comes down the line again, gets to the assembly, and...    No green Tri-Cree LEDs.

    And now there's a quandary on the line, because they're running low on Aeon V4 LE blank hilts, which are also overdue from the machine shop.  So the decision is made to use "my" hilt to fulfill another order, identical to it except it has a Guardian Blue LED.   It goes out the door ... and my order goes back into the queue. 

    The customer who ordered the blue saber gets his saber in 9 days.  He is very happy.

    Three days later the Aeon V4 LE hilts come in, but now (again) there is a back-order on the Obsidian light cards.   The manufacturer of these cards struggles to get their orders out, and finally gets it out 5 weeks later.  They are over a month overdue.

    All parts now in-hand, my order comes up in queue again and the saber is assembled and shipped.

    I've waited 11 weeks for my saber, but it is finally on the way.

    Now....   At what point did the Aeon V4 LE go out of stock?   Even if US kept the website completely up-to-date on a daily basis on whether the green tri-cree LED, or the Obsidian Lite board, or the green lit AV switches were in-stock or not, it wouldn't have had any effect on my initial order.

    These are CUSTOMIZED orders.  They are built to-order, and there is some lag between the order placement and fulfillment.   As I said before, there is no cure for this except patience.   US customer service is doing their best to keep people informed when there are delays, but they're also a small specialty shop.  Bear that in mind when you start wondering why they're not doing this or that.

    Oh, I do believe it.  Probably including some unflattering language as well.

    Incidentally, I get what you're saying about the availability of multiple components affecting the sabers' overall availability as well as the hilts.  The actual hilts are a big part of the problem, I'm sure, but it's easy to overlook other factors.

    I don't know about the United States, but in Australia this practice is highly illegal - misleading and deceptive conduct under the Trade Practices Act.  Selling items they don't have to keep the lights on may even be trading while insolvent (an accountant would know the answer to that one better).

    Not quite what I meant but my wording was likely poor. The part regarding stopping selling was due to people having in the past suggested they stop taking orders all together.
    In regards to selling items they do not have it is more complex than that. Due to the size of their business they probably do not pre-buy large amounts of stock and keep it in a back room like Amazon would. They likely get orders for certain hilts and make a order for the parts with possibly a few extra if it causes them to go over a mark which would give them a bulk buy discount.

    As people have noted there are multiple parts to make one lightsaber and they could get 100 orders for the same hilt but with each one being different overall.
    They'll make the order for the hilts and the machinist will make them. Now if the machinist has delays, for example they order the materials but they get delayed, or the machinist has less people working due to social distancing meaning not enough space/not enough money to pay all employees to work for example then all these lightsabers will get delayed. 
    Now as an example again of this, you email US for an update, they contact the machinist for an update who then contact their material supplier for an update and then you get your update, however as people have seen these updates change. Now this could be the machinist has got the supplies but found it's going to take longer for their work or the materials have been further delayed due to x or y. US now has to update the customer of this and because US is customer facing they will get the backlash and blame even if it is out of their control. 

    Now lets say the hilts get a timeframe and they come in, this doesn't mean all the other parts are there, even if they were at the start. If they are unsure when your hilt will come in but one of the items for your lightsaber they have is the missing piece to get another order out the door they are likely to do this because they want to get as many orders to their customers as possible.
    This is why you get people with 20+ week waits and other shipping in under 2 weeks.

    They are likely not saying the hilts are out of stock because to their knowledge they aren't, the machinist has them as available to make. As I noted the out of stock sabers are likely the ones which the machinist themselves have advised they cannot make for one reason or another.

    And now there's a quandary on the line, because they're running low on Aeon V4 LE blank hilts, which are also overdue from the machine shop.  So the decision is made to use "my" hilt to fulfill another order, identical to it except it has a Guardian Blue LED.   It goes out the door ... and my order goes back into the queue. 

    The customer who ordered the blue saber gets his saber in 9 days.  He is very happy.

    Three days later the Aeon V4 LE hilts come in, but now (again) there is a back-order on the Obsidian light cards.   The manufacturer of these cards struggles to get their orders out, and finally gets it out 5 weeks later.  They are over a month overdue.

    All parts now in-hand, my order comes up in queue again and the saber is assembled and shipped.

    I've waited 11 weeks for my saber, but it is finally on the way.

    Now....   At what point did the Aeon V4 LE go out of stock?   Even if US kept the website completely up-to-date on a daily basis on whether the green tri-cree LED, or the Obsidian Lite board, or the green lit AV switches were in-stock or not, it wouldn't have had any effect on my initial order.

    These are CUSTOMIZED orders.  They are built to-order, and there is some lag between the order placement and fulfillment.   As I said before, there is no cure for this except patience.   US customer service is doing their best to keep people informed when there are delays, but they're also a small specialty shop.  Bear that in mind when you start wondering why they're not doing this or that. 

    There’s probably more truth in this than most people realize. Point incoming :)

    It's also encouraging to see that not all the free Initiates are V2's.  I'm hoping for something MHS-compatible so I can screw it onto my other saber.

    LOL....unless they've changed it from my last two unboxings, the sabers are just rolled up in the wrap and the end is taped off.  Cut the tape with a utility knife and then you just need to unroll it.  No problem.    8)

    Some good news on my part, Laura has confirmed with me today that upgrading to the Crimson Fallen (Standard Emitter) from my Sentinel LE V5 and it will be shipped in 1-2 business days.

    I would have preferred the Combat Emitter but it has a 10-12 week delay as of todays email so I may buy this later depending on price.

    Just paid the requisitions so just waiting for the final confirmation

    And my order is shipping with ETA of 28/10 (to UK). In the Endgame now, got a Crimson Fallen Obs V4 Sound, MB, Free Initiate, Free Blade Plug, 2x Blade Plug for friends, Dominian Pommel, vented coupler coming :)

    Got the confirmation of the changes by Laura about 3 hours ago and order completed came in about 30mins ago.
    Laura's been great for me (the change to the Fallen was my 3rd requisition order due to changes) though I feel she likely has more emails coming in to her personal work email than some of other people answering emails as some times I would get one reply a day so I recommend still emailing the info email not her directly unless your responding to her already.

    And I agree about the emails; if someone is helping you with a specific issue, then yes, keep in contact with that CS rep, but once that issue is resolved, use the [email protected] address if something new pops up.  Don't burden these people more than they already are.

    Those all look amazing, that Frankensaber also looks like it would be a great double bladed lightsaber if you could get a matching emitter and an led at the pommel end.

    Let me know how the quick disconnect couple is, I ordered a vented coupler and only noticed the quick disconnect after my order shipped so might have to get one later (as would fit being on the fallen i've ordered)

    The Spectre is a long saber, and this thing is just huge.  Gotta be pushing close to 18".

    That was my first thought with the Frankensaber, too!  The grips at both ends would make it perfect.  I may have to see if I can find someone that will modify it for me.
    Until then, I will be having a lot of fun with pommels and emitters :D

    The quick release coupler is great!  If I had one complaint, it would be that they rotate pretty freely when connected, but even that is just a small gripe.

    Them sabers are making my mouth water... XD  Congrats on finally receiving your three enchiladas!  Modifying the frankensaber to be double-bladed is an awesome idea if you can find someone to do it for you, although I suppose it would drain the battery twice as fast and you'd have to machine some holes for the speaker sound to get through.  Looks like you're going to be having a lot of fun either way!

    I sure hope so!

    Unfortunately, I'm already having to perform surgery on my Frankensaber.  I hooked it up last night and uploaded a new sound font to it, and when I put it back together, something is binding somewhere and the saber loses power.  Comes back on when I loosen the pommel, but when i tighten back up same thing happens.

    Shoot, sorry to hear that.  Maybe when you screw on the pommel it's causing the battery case/motherboard to twist and strain the cords?  Maybe you could try slightly twisting the battery case the opposite direction of the direction you screw on the pommel.  Still, I don't have any experience with fixing sabers, so I dont want to mislead you.

    So my order got to the Uk on Friday, got to my local deport at 1am on Saturday but annoyingly had special handling of "Weekday Only". They attempted to deliver today but annoyingly just after I left for work and before my partner woke up so hopefully they will retry tomorrow.
    The closer things are the worse the wait gets, next two days of work are going to be agonising.

    I've tried just about everything I can think of, short of trimming the wires inside the hilt; there just seems to be too much wiring that is causing strain.  However, that has now taken a back seat to the fact that one of my Spectres just lost its red LED diode :/ super bummed that I'm probably going to have to ship it back for repair.

    I had sent customer service my wish list to see if they had anything on-hand that would help keep me occupied while I wait for my August order.
    These colors just aren't me, but if anyone is interested, the Crimson Scorpion, Crimson Omen and the Crimson & LE Grand Master are in stock.

    Hey, I was hoping someone could give me a quick update. After I received my saber earlier in the year, I haven't followed anything regarding US. In starting to think about another purchase, I'm just curious if things have picked up in production times and customer communication?

    Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks all! :)

    Customer service has from what I can see and the production time is really dependant on what you order, I recommended emailing a list of hilts that interest you to find out if you'd be expecting a wait or almost instant ship similar to what Toolmaker16 did in the post above yours.

    And my partner has messaged me to say the parcel has been delivered. Will do an unboxing when I get home, will be my first ever attempt so hopefully will come out alright.

    Great info!  thanks for sharing.

    On a related note, i started a new thread/topic with a nice little table consolidating ETAs gathered from customer service and posted on various threads across this forum.  The intention was to give people an idea of expected wait times in order to make an informed decision and hopefully reduce the amount of customer service contacts required for ETA requests.  Now i cannot find the topic.  Could it have been removed?

    It's one thing to say "we expect to have it in X amount of weeks," it's another to give an actual target date.  That's very encouraging if they're starting to do that.  Here's hoping the Great Big Turnaround is nigh!

    Wise decision to wait!  They offered me a different hilt back in September, but I hung on for the Fallen and don't think I'll regret it.  Hope yours comes fast!

    Yes I did, sorry for the delay!  The Fallen and the Initiate finally came.

    (https://i.imgur.com/Azz7sGT.jpg)  (https://i.imgur.com/lIaJA5e.jpg)

    The Pros:
    Fallen
    • The Fallen in tri-cree Guardian Blue is a very long, majestic saber to behold.  The color and size are mesmerizing and magnificent.
    • The long, detailed hilt is great for a two-handed stance, and both the pommel and emitter have a tight, secure fit.
    • The black grip is very easy to hold, stopping just short of being abrasive.  It's a comforting feeling to know that it's not going to slip out of my hands!
    • The sounds are loud and crisp, even louder than my previous Ultrasaber!  I meant to select Obsidian v4, but the sound quality of the v3 seems just as good.
    • Ultraedge, in my opinion, is definitely the way to go for the blades, since it gives a very even, full blade while still being beautifully bright.

    Initiate v3
    • The free Initiate I received is a v3!  That makes me especially happy, because it means I can couple it with another saber to make a staff.
    • The icy blue is gorgeous!  It was a wonderful surprise to get Arctic Blue since I thought it would be limited to basic colors only.
    • The silver A/V switch is a very nice touch.
    • The short Initiate blade and lack of sound make it very good for practicing stunts, especially indoors.

    The Cons:
    Fallen
    • I'm 6'1" and I've got large hands, but the Fallen is still a pretty big chonker.  It's gonna take awhile to get used to the size, and it's not the kind of saber you could easily wear on a belt (unless you're very tall).  If you've got small hands, I'd probably consider a different hilt.
    • The emitter is so deep that the blade plug falls past the retention screw, and if I hold it higher using the screw, the LED slides up and down.  The circle blade plug also has unshielded holes in the center, and it can be blinding to look at.
    • The pommel is cool, but it seriously amplifies treble sounds to the point where it's a little painful to turn the saber on and off.  I had to change the soundfont before I was comfortable (it's much better now).  Insulation inside the pommel might help?
    • The A/V switch casing is slightly too big and clicks around a little.
    • The rectangular box above the A/V switch is a little sharp, and it can hurt after awhile if you grip it wrong.  Wearing gloves fixes this, though!

    Initiate v3
    • The AAA setup allows the battery casing to rattle around inside the Initiate.  Otherwise, the saber is very nice.

    To be perfectly honest, I haven't gotten that far yet; right now it's tucked away until Christmas with the blade still in the hilt.  I'm sure others on here could be able to chime in on this issue.

    The blade plugs I had I found as long as you put the top flush with the top of the emitter covers the side holes also. You do need to keep it in place while you tighten the retention screw however. Also be careful letting it fall the whole way down, a circle I had was fine when it did but a standard one got stuck, luckily unscrewing the emitter let me get it out undamaged.

    I did try that and it looked fine, but the LED still rattled up and down a little.  I may need to cut a length of PVC pipe to fix that problem.
    The Fallen sure is a beautiful saber, I just wish it were about two-thirds as big as it is.

    You know, I think I figured out a way to jump the mental hurdle of the Fallen seeming too big.

    It's patterned after the Fallen Order lightsaber, and that saber originally belonged to Jaro Tapal, a hulk of a Jedi.  It only makes sense that the thing would be huge!  That's why it feels so big, because it was designed for someone half again as big as we are! :)

    You're right!  Putting together two real Fallens would create a weapon almost as long as its blades. XD

    My led doesn't seem to move at all, seemed the emitter is holding it down so I cannot comment on that.
    I actually find the size great. It's not the greatest for spinning, mainly for me due to the box and also the grip which I love however it does scratch the hand a bit on lose hand movement. 
    But as a fighting saber it feels great to use

    So... I've heard back from US about my orders status.
    Spectre with engravings, a first batch is expected 1-3 weeks from now. BUT Spectre without is available and my order could ship in 1-2 days.
    Black empress without engravings, further delays, no lead time so far. BUT Black empress with engravings is available and my order could ship in 1-2 days.

    So... What the f do I do.
    I wanted my Spectre with engravings. And 1-3 weeks isn't such a stretch since I ordered in July.

    As for the black Empress... I don't really like it with the engravings. But it wouldn't matter because I'd most likely add wrapping to it. So... to get it sooner, and without further informations about how much longer I'd need to wait, I'm quite tempted to swap it...

    you are considering guarantee vs possibility.
    given the timeframes and your plans for customization, my recommendation is to wait for the spectre but take the empress alternative.

    So... I've heard back from US about my orders status.
    Black empress without engravings, further delays, no lead time so far. BUT Black empress with engravings is available and my order could ship in 1-2 days.


    I also received an email from US CS about Empress availability, I also ordered the Empress w/out engravings, and a Aeon v4
    "We have received our Aeon v4 hilts from our Machine Shop, so we are just waiting on the Empress now. We are expecting a shipment of Empress WITH Engraving on November 20, if you would like to change your order to WITH Engraving"
    So I changed my order, and then got a response "Once we receive the sabers from our Machine Shop, all orders will ship out in 2-3 business days"

    Maybe it was a misunderstanding, or different batch  ::)... please keep us updated if you change your order and US ships it to you as commented

    Nope you're right. I thought it was the same for both the Spectre and the Empress. But the email says black empress with engravings around 23rd of November. So we have the same info.
    I'm still hesitant. I think I'll wait a bit to see what's up with the no engravings Empress.

    I'd wait. That Spectre with the engravings is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I know some people like the plain look,  but if the  engraved saber is what you've always been wanting, you won't be satisfied with anything else. You'll look at it and say, I really like this saber....BUT.... Get the saber you want, it will be worth the wait. Just my two cents.

    It really depends on what you order... Some hilts are available, others are... Let's say out of stock. And won't be for a while. Each saber has an estimated delivery.

    Ahhh so they are back on schedule then?  Back in Febuary they were notorious for not updating those estimates. The pages said 3-4 weeks, but due to massive demand really meant 10-12 weeks...

    Still says allow 3-4 weeks for fabrication. Best emailing them which hilts you are interested in and see which ones are quick and which are not

    I can tell you the Lost Gray and Fulcrum with the 3-4 week lead time I ordered back in May (and still saying the same) aren't due to arrive until either just before Christmas or more likely the new year.  So I definitely second the recommendation of emailing for a list of what is in stock.  It seems, anecdotally, that the more elaborate hilts, the ones loosely based on canon or legends hilts, are all out of stock with some trickling in over the coming weeks, but probably not a safe christmas purchase.

I am already hoping for the "your order has shipped email" and it has been maybe one if not two hours since I placed the order.  :D Thanks to everyone who gave me tips about this decision!! I can't wait to share pics when they come in!!

    I feel for you - hang in there. 
    My delivery by USPS from UltraSabers was not the problem - it was subsequent delivery experiences that made me choose rather to pay.  Along with the lack of reliable tracking. 
    USPS is still too 'low tech' for me - feel like i often say "well, its in the system...but not sure where exactly that may be..."
    They get it to you but it's not quick :)

    Thanks! I picked out everything about the Fallen LE. I love it. The Initiate V3 was the free with purchase one. It's cool. I need to look at upgrading to add sound, but I like it.
    Both feel excellent in my hands. My only issue with the Fallen is the button placement to turn it on. It feels too low, but it is still a cool saber.

    Agreed!  This seems to be standard switch placement on most models.  I was hoping to get an empty hilt with no holes in the grip for just that reason but customer service answered in the negative.  I really haven't given up...just waiting until i can find Emory and ask him directly to make it happen ;)

    Did you happen to get a recharge port?

    My Fallen LE came in!  I had about 10 minutes to unbox it and check it out before I had to go back to work.  Unfortunately, it was missing the Covertec Wheel, or else I would have snapped a couple of pics.  I sent them an email a few minutes ago, and once I get a replacement, I will take some pictures.  I will say, it looks and sounds great, even with the Obsidian Lite.  I took the pommel off and pulled the battery pack down, but  the batteries are wrapped in black tape.  Am I supposed to remove the tape and just use the Velcro strap to hold the rechargeables in place?

    First...Congratulations!  ;D

    B...i recommend to take pictures anyway for your records and reference to customer service.

    Finally...others may like to see the saber even without wheel in case they plan to remove and use a d-ring (somehow).

    Really final...i do not know about the battery situation but i would expect you need to replace them at some point.  I do not have that set up but expect that replacing tape should be easy enough in case it is required.  **Take care not to damage the circuit board**  I'm sure others will reply with more direct answers to the battery question.

    So I just finished talking to US Customer support and they helped me change my Dominicide to a Flamberge V2. Since it will take 2-3 months before the dominicides to come back I didn't want to have to wait another 3 months. The process was very smooth and John from Customer Support was very helpful.

    Now all I need is for them to assemble the Azure Mantis and Flamberge v2, both Diamond. My free initiate, mystery box, T-shirt and once they ship it it should bet here within 1-2 days.

    At this point, I'm just impatiently waiting for the holidays, and not just because that's when I'll finally be able to give my kids their sabers; this has been a rough year for us, and the holidays will be bittersweet, but I have plans in mind to try and make them as good as possible, and I'm anxious to start putting those plans in motion.  I'm tired of all the crap going on in the news and whatnot, and being able to focus on decorating the house, wrapping, etc....that will all take my mind off of it.

    I got a quick reply from service, who asked me to take pics of both sides of the saber to show them the hole for the missing wheel. I still haven’t had time to take any real pics of the Fallen, but it is a beauty!

    After I picked up and charged some AAA Nimh, I did get the black tape off the battery pack (I suspect it was just to keep the board protected during shipping).  The Velcro strap will hold the batteries in place just fine.

    Did some really bad Obi-Anis and tried the windmill that the amazing Michelle C. Smith demos on YouTube.  I’m an old fat man, so I promise my windmills will never look like the amazing Michelle C. Smith’s windmills. That said, the Fallen, for its size, is remarkably light and, once you find the right balance point, it is easy to spin. I’ve been practicing for months with an old wooden katana.  It is heavier than the Fallen, so it feels very comfortable.

    Pics someday, I promise.

    At this point, I'm just impatiently waiting for the holidays, and not just because that's when I'll finally be able to give my kids their sabers; this has been a rough year for us, and the holidays will be bittersweet, but I have plans in mind to try and make them as good as possible, and I'm anxious to start putting those plans in motion.  I'm tired of all the crap going on in the news and whatnot, and being able to focus on decorating the house, wrapping, etc....that will all take my mind off of it. 
    word!  we're all in this together - even if we are distant :) - and we have to find the joy or make it happen by force

    Annnnd, just like that, I got the following email from Laura in customer service:

    “Hello Gregory,
     
    Thank you for providing the photo. I was able to confirm the Covertec Wheel was not shipped with your order. I apologize for this oversight on your order. We will have this missing item shipped to you asap.
     
    Thanks for choosing Ultrasabers.  Feel free to email us here with any other questions or concerns.

    glad you received a quick reply and hopefully have the hex bit to screw it in :)

    Does anyone else get a little flutter in their chest when the email notification sound goes off, and eagerly wait to see if it is an order confirmation from ultrasabers???? Especially when I get an Ultrasabers newsletter type email and I flip out soon to realize that that is all it is. Impatient is right! Can't wait for my order!!!

    I'm patiently waiting, well, not really. Waiting for the 3 mystery box sabers I ordered for myself for graduating college and for the raffle results to come in soon. Here's to hoping! Ordered on November 6th and am fully aware of the lead time, just so hard to wait for something so cool! I hope to get them before graduation day on December 11th.

    Still waiting on my big order from May 18th.  I understand that it is 2020 and things are a little crazy, but I'm starting to feel like we've just been forgotten.  We had bought these sabers at the beginning of the pandemic to have an activity as a household.

    Two Dark Apprentice LEv5

    Dominix LEv5

    Phantom v4

    Four free sabers from the spring promotion

    Did you enquire about your order at [email protected]? They are quite fast at answering at the moment. Don't forget to put your order# in the object/subject line and specify the content of your order in the email. They should be able to tell you what is holding it and provide estimated delays or replacement options.

    Sad news for those waiting for the Fallen (black hilt) with standard emitter - unless you like waiting...
    From Customer Service on November 19:
    "We have been told by our manufacturer that we should expect to have the Fallen with Standard Emitter back in stock in an additional 20-22 weeks.

    They gave some really great alternatives:   
    Arbiter  https://ultrasabers.com/product/arbiter/ (https://ultrasabers.com/product/arbiter/)
    Catalyst https://ultrasabers.com/product/catalyst/ (https://ultrasabers.com/product/catalyst/)

    Shock LE https://ultrasabers.com/product/shock-le/ (https://ultrasabers.com/product/shock-le/)

    ...but i only want "the fallen" hilt. 
    I used the new chat feature on the main site about 1.5 weeks back just to try it out (its a person!) and found out the fallen with standard emitter and recharge port is in stock.  Well, it is not what i wanted but i want even more to not wait 6 months. 

    Now i wait for the shipping confirmation.   :-\

    I sent a message to customer service but want to see if anyone here has recent info on availability for the following hilts:
    Dark Initiate LE v4
    Initiate v3
    Initiate LE v2

    I searched (promise) but didn't find any recent posts.

    Just received my response from customer service.

    Katelyn said the Sentinel V5 and Dominix V5 are at 3 to 5 weeks.



    Over five weeks have passed. Emailed for an update, Dominix V5 is STILL five weeks out and since I ordered a black Yari Pike extension, It is now an additional 16 weeks out!
    I asked if I can pay shipping & get my other three sabers seperately. I don't want my whole order held up another four months because of an accessory.
    I'll pass on any responses.

    Okay, got a response. They did come up with a Dominix V5. The only thing holding up my August 6th order was the Yari extension. I asked them to flip it to the silver one & send it! I'll place a seperate order for the black Yari and maybe see it in April.

    Shipping next week:

    Dominix V5 - Obsidian, Tri Blazing Red (might check on local anodizing for the Yari extension)
    Arbiter - Obsidian, Sunrider
    Sentinel V5 x2 with Q/D coupler - Emerald, Consular Green/Guardian Blue
    Free Initiate
    Free Mystery Box

    Is it sad that I almost forgot that I ordered sabers? I’ve been waiting since May 15th but I chose to wait longer for my Lost Grey and Fulcrum sabers because if I’m spending the money, I’m getting the ones I want. But ya, the thought just sort of crossed my mind at like 1:30 am like “oh yeah” o.O

    It's not sad, after all you will get the sabers you want. But I'd hope their machining shop learn a thing or two about running during a pandemic to shorten the wait for everyone.

    That saber does not have an emitter that can be changed, though the pommel can be.

    I've just got an update on my Aug. order (Empress & Aeon v4 + Summer raffle 4th prize)
    "We received our Empress hilts from our Machine Shop, but they arrived disassembled. This has slowed fabrication on them by a couple of days because our team is having to assemble them before fabrication. You should receive any email with tracking information either at the end of this week or beginning of next"

    So, a little more wait  :o

    Got the Golden Ticket for my Fall Raffle entry.

    4 Sabers on the way.
    3 Mystery Boxes, cause I like to gamble and have no idea what to order.
    And a fourth place prize, a Grab Bag Saber. I will know it by the longer blade.

    Hopefully one is Blazing Red, and with four coming the odds are pretty good.

    But it is a holiday tomorrow in the United States so instead of a Friday delivery, it is Monday!

    Regardless, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Stay safe and stay healthy.

    Hi there!

    I just reached out to Laura again to ask, if my order would still be shipped at the end of december, like I was told in september.
    Therefore I got some update on the Fulcrum and Lost Gray:
    "We were recently updated that the Fulcrum and Lost Gray are expected to arrive late January or early February."

    I'm honestly thinking about changing the order ... I waited so long for it but also took the time to do some research and found some sabers of the other guys where the hilts of Ahsoka's sabers are much smaller and theremore more fitting for her. On the other hand those are not made especially for fighting with them and I'm afraid that they might get broken too easy.

    I really don't know what to do at that point.

    Did you ask the turnaround regarding the Empress on the chatbox before ordering? They received a batch of engraved empresses but I'm not even sure the batch supplied all the orders made this summer. I'm still waiting on a black Empress without engravings from June.

    I did not because I can't find this chatbox (am I just blind or is it hidden somewhere?) and wanted to take the advantage of the coupons. Well, right now I know that I wouldn't have to rush, but you can't never know this before.
    Anyway, the Empress is the only saber fitting for her because of reasons, so even if it's coming later, it will be okay. But thanks for your thinking along!

    After being delayed by Thanksgiving I have received my winning order from the Fall Raffle.

    Here are Pictures.

    (https://i.imgur.com/6rquBXX.jpg)

    Left To Right:
    4th Prize: Apprentice v5 with silver A/V Switch and a Catalyst Pommel
    MB: Initiate v4 with Windows and Silver A/V Switch
    MB: Apprentice v4 with Windows and Silver A/V Switch
    MB: Prophecy v3 with a Silver A/V Switch and without a Covertec Wheel

    (https://i.imgur.com/qqg56FT.jpg)

    So once again, Left to Right:
    Apprentice v5 in Consular Green
    Initiate v4 in Guardian Blue
    Apprentice v4 in Fire Orange
    Prophecy v3 in Consular Green

    This is a great set of sabers in my opinion, but does sort of need some extras.
    An Apprentice/Sentinel v5 Pommel, to switch it out with the Catalyst pommel.
    A Silver Quick Connect Coupler for the pair of v4s, it would be an asymmetric staff but still very cool.
    A Covertec Wheel for the Prophecy v3 and maybe put the Catalyst Pommel on it
    Minor issues all, so great results for the MBs and the 4th prize.
    Didn't get any with sound, but they are awesome.

    Here is my fall raffle winning order
    Left to right:
    -Dark Apprentice v5 in blue violet amethyst with a Dark Dorinian pommel and a black AV switch

    Fall Raffle Prize-Aeon v5 LE in Consular green with a silver at switch

    Mystery box- Prophecy v3 in Blazing red with a sliver about switch and no Covertec wheel

    Mystery box- Aeon v4 in Guardian blue with a silver At switch

    All in all happy with my order and all the hilts I got obviously the Dark Apprentice is my favorite as it was a custom ordered saber but I love the Aeon v5 LE and the v4 both very nice and comfortable hilts

    I also ordered a circle blade plug with my Dark Apprentice v5 and I got a circle blade plug with the promotion, I also got a covertec clip for my Dark Apprentice v5 and a black finish vented quick release coupler for a staff I plan on getting

    No, Spectre with engraving and The Butcher (black/silver standard hilt). Maybe some others are waiting too of this hilts?

    At the end of September it was expected we have to wait 11-13 weeks, so hilts should be back on stock at mid/end of December. But now it looks like another 8 weeks more.

    I'm also waiting for a Spectre with engravings and I enquired about it yesterday. It seems someone did receive one recently. So there's hope.
    As for the Butcher, no idea about its lead times.

    After being delayed by Thanksgiving I have received my winning order from the Fall Raffle.

    Here are Pictures.

    (https://i.imgur.com/6rquBXX.jpg)

    Left To Right:
    4th Prize: Apprentice v5 with silver A/V Switch and a Catalyst Pommel
    MB: Initiate v4 with Windows and Silver A/V Switch
    MB: Apprentice v4 with Windows and Silver A/V Switch
    MB: Prophecy v3 with a Silver A/V Switch and without a Covertec Wheel

    (https://i.imgur.com/qqg56FT.jpg)

    So once again, Left to Right:
    Apprentice v5 in Consular Green
    Initiate v4 in Guardian Blue
    Apprentice v4 in Fire Orange
    Prophecy v3 in Consular Green

    This is a great set of sabers in my opinion, but does sort of need some extras.
    An Apprentice/Sentinel v5 Pommel, to switch it out with the Catalyst pommel.
    A Silver Quick Connect Coupler for the pair of v4s, it would be an asymmetric staff but still very cool.
    A Covertec Wheel for the Prophecy v3 and maybe put the Catalyst Pommel on it
    Minor issues all, so great results for the MBs and the 4th prize.
    Didn't get any with sound, but they are awesome.


    Ooh, shiny!  And I love the colors.

    Yikes!  I'm glad I ordered my Spectre at the end of October without the engraving.  Got it within a week.  Very happy with it.

    So. I've been censored. Oh well.
    Spectre with engravings : 4-5 more weeks.
    Empress without engravings : 7-9 more weeks.
    I switched for the empress with engravings. I'll wrapp it anyway. And it's allegedly in stock. I'll see if I get the same turnaround I had with my apprentice. Fingers crossed.

    That's happened to me before on several occasions.

    You have to be careful how you phrase things on this board as to not come off overly critical of US.
    I'll admit to actually being hurt a bit when it's happened to me, because in the past I've come to the defense of US time and time again. But the few times I've wanted to vent my frustration over a long wait (I'm human afterall) those posts get deleted.

    Yeah. I've also been defending them a lot. And I'm still pleased by the speed in the answers lately. And they really try to help. But I couldn't help being a bit disappointed by the new delays which have been piling up for quite some time. So I may have ranted a bit. Anyway. The new info is there.
    I took the swap for the Empress. I hope they'll ship it fast. (there also a free initiate and free grabbag).

    I have a sound MB with my Spectre. And I'm hoping for a guardian since they are still in stock. But I won't get my hopes too high. I may end up ordering a guardian soon ^^'

    did you break one of the forum rules?
    deleting a post solely because it is critical would be...disgraceful. :(

    i experienced a similar issue - created a new thread to consolidate all the replies from customer service on estimates based on posts in this thread and others.  It was deleted without any explanation.  i meant it as a way to help customer service by reducing the workload of checking on pre-order wait times and status checks. 

    i suppose it could have made some people choose not to place an order based for those with long wait times but i'm all about freedom of information and setting clear expectations.  i was butt hurt about that move but also giving the benefit of the doubt that it was not a representative of Ultrasabers.  although...  ::)

    Yeah I feel you. Somehow those hilts seem to be pushed further in time . Either because they are in high demand and the batches too small or because it's harder to machine and parts are still missing. I wonder if US could explain a bit more on this.

    Finally!!
    This wait started on Jully 11th, so after 21 weeks, today I received my Empress (changed from Without Engraving to With Engraving), and Aeon v4, and with the order came a free initiate, and the Summer Raffle 4th prize (Grab Bag)
    (http://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=15XQwfrbnXurfV1Fgj44Cwj7jDlWBgH8y)(http://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1wYL86eFBJQ_mbEQpj3mHwmyYXFgA14mR)
    From left to right, Grab Bag, Free Initiate, Aeon v4, and Empress

    I'm a little disappointed with the quality level of the hilts...  :(
    All of them have sharp edges, and the free initiate and Grab Bag have scratches at some spots

    But ok, at least I got them, right?!

    What part of the hilts are sharp?
    the grab bag is advertised as "may have cosmetic flaws" so that should be expected.  Yours appears to be the apprentice v5 - very nice!

    I also switched from without engravings to with engravings. I find it kinda strange that adding something to the hilt (engravings) still makes it available faster.
    Is it just me or is USPS' tracking... useless? I mean... Three days of "on its way to the next facility. No cities, states or countries...

    And yeah. Grab bags can have cosmetic flaws so there's that. Nice sabers nonetheless.

    this is why i pay shipping to use FedEx even though USPS would be free.  If you think the tracking is bad just for you, try calling the post office directly - they are just as clueless because of their own system.

    Oh I wouldn't try calling since I live in France ^^'
    But yeah. I'll stick to FEDEX next time. It's not free for me even with USPS =p.
    I guess once it's in France I'll have tracking through local post services so I'll know where it is and where it's going.

    Maybe some of you who have ordered here before can enlighten me on this process: I ordered the Prophecy V3 over the weekend, because it showed as an "in-stock" item. I understand that it will need to be constructed according to my specifications in the order, and that's part of the lead-time. The item page shows a 3-4 week lead time. Is that inclusive of the construction time? Meaning I don't have to wait for parts to be manufactured - I just need to wait for the saber that I've ordered to be assembled?

    Thanks in advance!

    Best thing is to ask on the zen chat if the hilt is readily available. The site does not reflect stock reality.

    DarthRondoudou is accurate in that it saying "in stock" doesn't ironically indicate the specific model you want being in stock. I had to wait extra time because I wouldn't change from the one I wanted/ordered. Some LE versions are available when the normal aren't, and vice versa. Contacting them is the fastest way to know for sure.

    FYI for anyone waiting for Lost Grey or Fulcrum I asked for an update on my 2 from May 11th and was told they would get them from the machine shop in Late January/early February.  Not sure why these 2 seem to be harder to produce than just about anything else.

    I have had good luck getting some hilts quickly with some recent orders, including Fallen and Dark Catalyst.

    Thanks

    On the emitters, most of the windows edges.
    But on the Empress, almost all the edges a somehow sharp on the emitter and pommel
    I will have to do some refining/sanding, I didn't want to go on the weathered finish road, maybe I will paint the hilt afterwards, not sure.

    That's the exact same thing that happened to me! I was contacted saying my order could ship within days if I chose to go with the LE version of the one I ordered instead. Or choose to wait a month and a half (roughly) till the one I ordered arrived on their end. I guess either people order more of the engraved ones, or the opposite happened and tons of people bought all the standard versions out and the engraved ones were what was left on hand? Either way it's funny several of us experienced this. Unlikely coincidence, must be the will of the Force... or supply and demand. I'm still too excited waiting around forever is building savage anticipation.

    At this point I want to buy stock in US because they sell sabers like Russia made AKs, maybe my Sith is showing in wanting my lightsaber with a side order of profit. Have your cake, eat it too, buy the bakery while you're at it.

    I had to update this, in the time that passed since I'd last checked and today my order had already shipped days before now. So really from the time they contacted me originally via email till my completed lightsaber date was only about a month! They didn't have my part in stock, and didn't promise it arriving before Christmas; but the Dark Side commands my weaponry to come forth. I am pleased, quite pleased. Also get to be surprised by the "free saber" too. So if you live in the States and ordered before mid November you may still have hope even if it wasn't available at first... It's like my birthday, Xmas, and new years all at once. May the Force serve you all in your plights as well.

    Ouch, I don't know if I can really offer advice if you used the Postal Service (since they are a mess right now, and it's their heaviest volume time of year on top of the "new issues" they are experiencing). I got lucky and ordered enough to qualify for that free shipping, and chose FedEx because I wanted to avoid the nightmare the USPS is right now... But if you're seriously in the continental US and it shipped to you starting on the 11th, I'd have to wager it's getting close? I hope it gets there in time for your daughter's sake. Especially since you're an awesome enough dad to have purchased that kind of Xmas gift! I'm totally rooting for you to be the hero of this story. Let us know when/if it arrives from within the abyss. FYI, mine arrived with blades and batteries inserted and ready to go, so you could probably cut open the top, slip it out and ignite it to make sure it works properly; then re-package it and throw wrapping paper around the box. Best present ever.

    It's weird thinking the US Postal Service sends things to France. I mean I get that international mail has been a thing for a long while, but it's just odd to think of the USPS handing it off to French customs and their/your version of a postal system? I know it's not like the "friendly neighborhood mailman" is journeying to Europe to deliver a lightsaber... but it's just interesting thinking how much it has to go through to get to it's destination. Versus a multinational company like FedEx or UPS or whatever. I'm happy for you though, since you've been waiting so patiently, try not to use DoubleSlap on whoever delivers it. No killing the messenger!

    That's exactly what they do though. I already have a tracking for the French postal service. So it's shipped to the airport in France where it's picked up by the local postal services.
    Seems it was a mistake to go with USPS though. Oh well.

    ...yea, they've experienced some "troubles" recently. I'm sure you may know if you've watched news related to it or could look up what happened within recent months. Sadly I can't go into detail without violating rule 7, so I won't. But it is tragic how it'll even effect others worldwide, Christmas gifts, many many things/people overall. But that Empress is a beautiful saber. Best of luck.

    I have not purchased an Ultrasaber for several years, but my wife has recently been bugging me about her old saber's soundboard dying, so I decided to take the plunge and get a couple mystery box sabers (with sound) - one for each of us. I have had a great deal of enjoyment from mystery sabers in the past (won an awesome one with sound in a raffle a few years back). Now comes the hard part, the wait!

    So the sabers I ordered for my kids' Christmas gifts have been sitting at my parents' house since July, I think tonight will be the night I mosey on over, get the batteries put back in, and let them charge up overnight.  Then tomorrow, I'll head back over and box them all up to be given out on Christmas morning.

    Can't believe it's finally here, after all this waiting...seems surreal, in a way.

    Can't believe it's finally here, after all this waiting...seems surreal, in a way.
    OOOOOOOOh it's time. Finally. =D

    It all depends. Some hilts are in stock and ready to ship in 2-3 days, others are on backorder to the moon and back (Lost Grey and Fulcrum for exemple).
    Grabbags are a different story. I don't know how they manage their grab bags inventory/stock.

    I'd guess, and it's just a guess. That they are pre-made ready to go OR made on the spot out of random parts. But since I remember seeing video of a pallet with tons of boxes stacked on it for something I vaguely remember being like "grab bags" I'd bet pre made (possibly it was a raffle and I'm mistaken). I'm betting you won't have to wait super long since FedEx is pretty expedient, and it'd almost be absurd to not have grab bag supplies available... Only way I can see that happening is if they had so many orders for them that they ran out and have to make more. Either way post some pictures of it when you get it, so we all get to be surprised. They show like 15 hilts so even if some are "out of stock" it probably just raises the chances of others. (Honestly from the description it sounds like some are "mistakes" made with custom sabers of higher value. Like a slight error, it gets dropped and has a "light but definite scratch", or something similar.) I'd be cool with a rather expensive hilt with a possibly odd defect for much cheaper... Just add some paint, or distress it to give it a war torn and weathered look. Members have posted awesome custom work along those lines. Good luck Ashy, nice choice on a random surprise saber.

    I have not purchased an Ultrasaber for several years, but my wife has recently been bugging me about her old saber's soundboard dying, so I decided to take the plunge and get a couple mystery box sabers (with sound) - one for each of us. I have had a great deal of enjoyment from mystery sabers in the past (won an awesome one with sound in a raffle a few years back). Now comes the hard part, the wait!

    Epic act of husbandry right there, with any luck you'll both get something cool. Although I bet you could look up how to replace that soundboard too, or pay someone to... If it's an amazingly cool lightsaber or has sentimental value anyway. It may be a "quick fix" with the right tools/parts and in the right hands. A bit of research could do the trick. I'd kill for a wife that begs me for a lightsaber. Heck I'd propose with an engagement ring custom built onto a "gift saber" in that case. (Yes others can feel free to steal that idea if it hasn't been done already.) OMG you could preload the soundboard to say "will you marry me?" when it ignites! ...master plan in the works, now I just need the proper willing participant.

    It's done, they're charging.

    The only problem I ran into was, one set of batteries didn't seem to be working the way they should; I'd put them in and the "Obsidian" audio cue would go off, but the saber wouldn't light up - tried the same set in two different sabers, no good.  Luckily, all the other batteries seemed to be okay, so it's only the Frankensaber that's without power for now.  Later on, I'll check the batteries further and order another set if I need to.  Everything else seems to be falling into place.

    Pure awesomeness, sounds like it will be very cool... if you're lucky no death battles will ensue as a result. Although your signature seems to imply they are accustomed to lightsabers around and won't engage in warfare immediately following unwrapping them. + point for parental awesomeness level

    Also a little ashamed I'm only now thinking this, your name just made me think of Jean Grey in Phoenix form wielding a lightsaber... truly horrifying. She's powerful enough, that's the definition of overkill.

    I've created a monster.  Several of them, actually.

    The Big Reveal of the sabers for my kids was every bit as epic as I hoped it would be; they couldn't believe I had held on to the secret for that long.  I showed them how to switch sound fonts and they were off and running - Episode 6 and Ancient Saber are a couple of favorites.   My 15 year old loves the Shoto style of the Initiate and is saving up for a Dark Initiate v4 with Bane's Heart.

    Once I told them about swapping out emitters and pommels, it was all over but the shouting; we've already got a shopping list going that I'll probably order today, my treat.  As for me, I'm waiting until the next raffle and then I'm pulling the trigger - FINALLY! - on the Spectre.

    Time to start living our best lives.  The long wait is finally over.

    Sounds great, I could see them going "I like your pommel/emitter better can we trade?" and making some interesting "customized lightsabers" that way. Mixing and matching sure can add that personal touch. Funny that some started getting motivated to buy their own now, that's awesome! Glad your surprise went off without a hitch and was such a hit. That sounds like it was epic fun indeed, and hey no decapitations or severed limbs is always a win right? You will be able to film your own full scale choreographed battle sequences now that you have your own small army. But it's just fantastic they were all so thoroughly pleased, I'm sure that was one serious win for the history books. Hope you got a sick X-mas card photo out of it for next year, or to post to your social media or whatever.

    The order has been placed...a Crimson Dominicide emitter, a Malice emitter, a Dark Dorinian pommel, a Dark Grand Master pommel, and an Archon pommel.  Plus a few accessories I needed for my batch.  All of it even qualified for a free Initiate, but I haven't told them that yet.  Heh, heh.

    Now let's see how long this takes to ship out...

    It didn't go completely without a hitch; the Archon charging port has a short in it or something, and a wire connecting to the speaker on the Aeon snapped somehow.  I've already emailed Ultrasabers about both issues, but my kids are okay with waiting for the repairs, and I have enough extras for them to borrow if need be.  But yeah, they thought it was the coolest thing ever.

    It still sounds idyllic, and like you wound up as the hero. Epic Dad moment/family moment for sure, nothing is perfect but that sounds close as it gets in that department. Guess you could surprise the son saving up towards an initiate with the free one if he somehow paid it forward to his siblings, but it's hard to say if he wanted a different version or something. Who knows, but it's still a great story regardless. I envy the interest there, my family never would have gone for such a thing... good on yall for the bonding moment anyway.

    I love that Empress, I've wanted one because of how savage it looks... That thing looks angry, and ready to claim souls. Very nice. I think it's funny the Initiate is basically pure silver. And that blue colored blade must be even more impressive in person. Glad they were beyond worth the wait.

    Btw, now you could probably look into getting a set of color discs for the Initiate and be able to tint your blade color as desired?

    Finally got my Fulcrum and Lost Grey and 3 freebies from my May 11th order. Worth the wait. I’m guessing the outer sheath for the hilts was the reason for the delay.  33 weeks from order to delivery. Here’s hoping my Diamond Spectre doesn’t take that long.

    In a rare stroke of 2020 luck, my sabers arrived today (new years eve here)  ;D

    My order was for a Lost Grey and a Fulcrum.  Silver switch box with blue illumination, red side buttons and tri-arctic blue (to match Season 7 look). Premium sound.

    I also received a free Initiate V4 with emitter windows and a free Sentinel V4 with emitter windows.  Both stunt configuration.

    But I know we are all here for the saber porn so enough talky talky and here are some pics.

    Just received an email out of the blue from Erin at Ultrasabers; the Archon Classic pommel that my youngest wanted is out of stock for a few weeks, but they were offering to substitute either the regular Archon pommel or the Spectre pommel - all three are the same price so there's no downgrade.   Talked it over with my youngest and he decided to switch to the Spectre pommel.  Erin said they'd be able to ship the order out in a day or two if we switched, I just emailed her back so I have a feeling I'll be getting a Golden Ticket soon.

    I only placed the order 8 days ago.  Not too shabby.....

    At least this time the whole clan can share in the waiting/anticipation along with you! I don't know for sure if this is a good or bad thing... but it's great that the alternative option was well received. US gets such a bad wrap sometimes for not "being perfect" but I sincerely believe they do pretty good within their capabilities or at least as best they can. I have yet to have a truly souring experience. I'm a relative fan of how their customer service has serviced me thus far. Even if I'm "just one of the lucky ones" in the eyes of some.

    That's the thing; I have yet to have a bad experience with them, and I don't count having to send a couple of the sabers back to be repaired as a bad experience, only because they were so quick to get back to me about it.  And I know their electronics and whatnot may be older than what other companies are doing, but hey...I like what I like and I plan on ordering more from them.

    As for my kids, their attitude is basically, "They light up and make the sounds.  It's all good."

    I received an update on my June Lost Grey and Fulcrum and it’s going to be an additional 4-6 wks. I was offered a swap but I’m holding in there. The lovely pictures above affirmed that choice so thank you.

    Looks like my mystery package, whatever it is, will be delivered sometime Saturday.   I could always email them and ask, but I'm kind of enjoying the suspense.   In a twisted way...mwah, ha, hah...

    Yeah, since those sabers are quite unique, had you been hesistating I'd have said to keep on wainting for your order. I've waited a while for my empress and my spectre and they were totally worth the wait.

    Yeah too bad you weren't a part of the "wave" of completions that rolled out and got shipped. I suppose these super popular "newer" sabers based on popular modern show/movie/game designs are just soooo hot that the current supply chain issues limit meeting the crazy demand. I just started playing Fallen Order and now I want a Fallen in crimson or black pretty bad to add to my collection. But I'm a firm believer in sticking by your design as intended. A lightsaber is supposed to be highly personal and have true meaning to it's wielder/owner. So if you want "that design" that much you just have to have patience to wait it out, even through unforeseen delays or backorders. It may be a bit hard at times or for some, but when it arrives I feel like it's completely worth it. I still have to order a curved hilt to modify into a custom IMO what Darth Bane's lightsaber "would look like". Or a Dooku variant would be cool. I have too much on my wish list but love it.

    So the winter sale ends today, I'm guessing the winter raffle is next.  If that's the case, I'm going to pull the trigger on the Spectre and the Scorpion; two separate orders, I'm not going to worry about when they'll arrive.  My 15 year old's birthday is this month, my parents want to get him the Grandmaster that he has his eye on, so that'll be another order.

    I'm feeling like a kid again, and I'm loving it.

    Oh, I HIGHLY recommend the Fallen.  It's long, so it's not easy to do the Obi-Ani twirling, but it's not heavy enough to be completely cumbersome.   And as a display piece, it's gorgeous.  I'll do a video review when I kick off my YouTube channel, I'm just waiting for some tech supplies I ordered to come in.

    I'm honestly more about sparring than pure showmanship, but I do enjoy spinning. I admit it would make a beautiful display piece or 2 of them coupled into a saberstaff! But I'd probably only make it "display only" if I got it signed by the actor at a convention or some such. I had watched him previously on TV and was stunned to see him in SWU. (Especially considering the style of show he was on, not very Disney but I loved that show all the way through) Some of these lightsaber designs based on games are an easy sell to a nerd like myself. But whoever designed that in game knew how to make an attractively aggressive looking concept for sure! I can't wait to buy one. Plus the casting in that game was stellar, many of the character models/voice actors are some iconic individuals in acting. I can easily see why "Eno Cordova" would participate since as an actor he spent years in one of my favorite Sci Fi series, but man is it a well done game overall. I guess I hope to own many such iconic lightsabers eventually, probably more so for display with some "less functional" designs that are more form than function. Especially when you try to grip or swing them. Like I'm told the Graflex is stunning but "harder to grip" or "hold onto" with it's big ridges.

    On another note, switched from Phantom LE v4 saber staff to just the Phantom v4. There were supply issues due to Covid, but they got the regular Dominix hilts in so I was offered to switch and not wait...and let's face it, I'm impatient, so I said yes!  Just waiting for the golden ticket that it's on the way!! Can't wait to share when it comes! Are 32" blades going to be too long with a staff, and should I order some 24" just in case?

    That depends entirely on your height. This is discussed at length (dang, no pun intended) in this topic: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=46428.0 (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=46428.0) which IMO is a good base rule and one I more or less agree with. My own personal saberstaff is a bit "beyond the norm" described but I expected as much upon design. Also if you want to ask further questions or discuss it further I suggest relocating there. I'd gladly participate as well.
    Basically quick answer: I use 32" blades in mine, but personally it also depends on total hilt length and your height as well...

    I've had a Phantom  V4 staff with 32" and 24" blades.   24" look ... wrong.   They're to short.   32" are a little long but they look great and its still short enough to handle. Ideal length would probably actually be 28", but they don't make them in that length so I'd go with 32" and if it is to long you can use a pipe cutter to cut the tube down to 28" and a razor to cut the diffusion film. 

    And the Phantom staff is ... just beautiful.   :-)  Though I prefer the V3 to the V4 for staff work.   :-)

    Well...the FedEx app apparently had it wrong; the mystery package has been delivered.  Turns out it was the two sabers I had sent back to be inspected and repaired, and they both seem to be good to go.  Not including delivery/shipping time, it only took about a week.  Not too shabby at all.  Thank you, Bobby F!

    So now the question is, what's up with the emitter/pommel order?

    I'm considering the raffle. Though I'm unsure what is more interesing between a huge order to get the mystery box or multiple small ones to get raffle tickets.
    I was quite happy with the 2 free initiates I got with my previous orders. But do I really want another? and I like sound sabers better. So a free mystery box without sound... Might not be so interesting.

    Up to you, but one advantage of multiple small orders is, besides the multiple raffle entries, you don't need to worry about one saber on backorder holding the other ones up.

    That is actually very true!! I mean. Free stuff is always nice. But, I had a lot of luck with the sound mystery box I ordered. Not so much with the free initiates and grab bag. Even though I like the initiates V4, I probably would not have ordered them.

    That's right, but if you have to pay $ 50 shipping for every order it gets expensive very quickly.  ;)

    Ouch, that's unfortunate. I usually try and capitalize on free shipping when/if available.

    And may I ask what you ordered? It's a bit crazy it's taking that long. I'd have guessed you were in that Lost Grey/Fulcrum crowd, but one never knows with these things. Maybe just a big order and one item wound up Out of Stock due to Covid or who knows what reason. Either way, that is certainly rough, but glad you're hanging in there. With luck you'll feel it was all worth it in the end.

    Of course. Are the sabers on my sig, marked as "Processing": Phantasm V3, Butcher and Spectre.
    I had got an offer to change my order (other color for Butcher, other type for Spectre) to make it sooner, but after I have waited 6 months already, I have decided to wait longer to get what I really want.

    Dully noted, thanks for the reply. I am one to fervently stand behind the original design vs changing it to get it faster. I feel it will be less fulfilling that way ultimately. But I get it, free shipping across that distance is apparently not as feasible. Also I missed that in your sig, thanks again for the info. I hope it all gets to you sooner rather than later. May the Force serve you well in acquiring your lightsabers.

I understand it may take a while to see my order get passed "Processing", but does anyone have any idea on the current estimated time it takes to finish processing or receive word from them?

    It all depends on which hilt(s) you ordered and when. If you already sent an inquiry email then wait for the answer.

    As DarthRondoudou said. It only depends on your current configuration and only US can say about delivery (but even they misjudged my order by a few months). And don't trust the stock information on the online shop. "Out of stock" doesn't mean the saber is out of stock (Indeed I got an offer from US to switch to a hilt that is constantly displayed "out of stock" because it was available). And "on stock" doesn't mean you don't have to wait months either.
    Response times to emails can be a bit difficult too. In fact, I seem to have been lucky, at least so far, because I always got a - always very nice - answer within a few hours or days.

    Well, I said I wasn't going to order more Ultrasabers, but I just placed an order for an Aeon v2 in GB for my sister-in-law. I just sent my sister a Dominix v2 for her b-day, so I wanted them both to have sabers

    I also ordered a Quick Release coupler and some pieces from TCSS. I think I figured out a way to make non-MHS hilts compatible with those, so I can use a QR coupler on the V2s if I wanted to (or on my non-US lightsabers)
    Of course, I'll share that video with you guys ;D.

    Yep. I still think US is good for stunt sabers and since my nephew and sister now have stunts, it only made sense to get my sister-in-law something similar.
    Otherwise my OCD would require I get them all sound & rgb sabers from the other guy I've been buying from.

    That, and no other saber company makes a QR coupler that compares to Ultrasabers.

    Ooooh, so it's done processing and shipped out to you? Awesome, now is the really fun part then. Anticipating the arrival of your lightsaber finally. It's the Initiate V2 right?

    Still waiting on any word on that emitter/pommel order I have out there...the last I heard from Erin, she was going to get my substitution filed and the order would be shipped in a day or two.  That was back on the 12th, and that reply came a week after I emailed her asking for the substitution in the first place.  I emailed earlier today to try and find out what the scoop is.

    Can't help but wonder if there's something going on down there.  This is the first roadblock I've run into when dealing with the CS reps.

    It may just be that the order is taking longer than expected to process, and that Erin is waiting to get back to you for that reason.  Or she forgot.  Or there was an issue with the email going through.  Or they're that busy.  Since you sent a follow up, we may find out soon enough.

    Silver and gold one is the Princess, US take on Leia's lightsaber in the so called ep9.
    Black one is the Empress. US' take on Rey's final lightsaber in the so called ep9.
    Frankensaber is depicted above =) quite nice I might say.

    Funny how interesting lightsabers only appear in the last one of disney's try(hard)logy.

    I'm not going to lie I'm super jealous of all the pictures of everyone's sabers. I bought my first Saber January 4th, just a Mystery Box, nothing terribly special but I got the shipment notification today and its expected to be here by Saturday. I've been lurking here for a while after seeing a bunch of bad reviews but glad to say from what I've read the last week or so and now that I've gotten notification that it all appears to be unfounded, from time of order to shipping that's just over 2 weeks so hopefully that means things are getting back to normal. Totally excited and can't wait! I'll probably end up with the most generic hilt and a blue blade but I won't care because I'll have a LIGHTSABER!!! lol

    Still waiting on any word on that emitter/pommel order I have out there...the last I heard from Erin, she was going to get my substitution filed and the order would be shipped in a day or two.  That was back on the 12th, and that reply came a week after I emailed her asking for the substitution in the first place.  I emailed earlier today to try and find out what the scoop is.

    Can't help but wonder if there's something going on down there.  This is the first roadblock I've run into when dealing with the CS reps.

    Well, whatever the reason for the delay was, no point in lingering on it any longer; just got the Golden Ticket.   If past performance is anything to go by, FedEx will pick it up tomorrow and it'll be delivered by Monday.

    Woo-hoo!

    i ordered one on the 24th of December and it arrived (in Australia) on the 6th of January. Was really hoping i'd get lucky with another speedy delivery XD

    Well... If you ordered during the raffle, it won't ship before they announce the winners... Cause they ship prizes with orders.

    Got a FedEx update on my shipment, it should be here some time on Sunday.  Which surprises me, I didn't think they'd deliver on Sunday.   Not that I'm complaining; the boys are excited to be getting their emitters and pommels, I'm curious to see what type of Initiate is coming my way.

    Debating on pulling the trigger on an Emperor's Hand as one last entry into the raffle; it's on my wish list after all.  Maybe when February 1 rolls around, that'll give me some time to budget it in.

    Meanwhile, the emitter/pommel extravaganza is set to arrive tomorrow...it's nice to be able to pass the excitement down to the kids.

    The package arrived earlier today....my youngest got a Spectre pommel (with D-ring!) to try out on his Aeon, my oldest got a Crimson Dominicide emitter and Dark Dorinian pommel to dress up his Manticore,  and my 15 year old got a Grandmaster pommel and Malice emitter (with long blades) to spice up his Savior.

    The Mailce emitter is a flippin' beast.  When I saw how big the blades would be, I ordered a 40 inch blade to go with it just in case he wanted to compensate for how much blade he'd lose from the emitter blades.  With all that added on, the Savior is a little front heavy now, but he loves it.  He's not a small guy, so he's able to swing it well enough, even if he does have to change his technique a bit.

    As for the free Initiate that all this qualified for, it's actually an Apprentice V4 with a 24 inch blade. I'll do a review comparing the V4 with the V5 when I have the chance, but I'm liking the V4; goes well with a 32 inch blade.

    Bottom line: they're happy, I'm happy.

    I'm in agreement with Darth Rondoudou it'd be awesome if you posted a pic of those lightsabers with the new customizations added somewhere... I want a Malice long claw emitter badly, and I agree on probably needing a bit "above standard" blade too since those claws do eat up some for sure. Although I guess it's accurate they don't reduce distance to opponent so really striking ability remains the same relatively, more blade to impact with is always preferable to me. Those little ones have good taste in mods, pretty savage if I say so myself. You'll have your hands full training that lot!

    Holding you emotions in check and not unleashing a Force Storm ripping apart the whole place due to all the pent up emotion sounds quite taxing. A Sith might have taken a different route, or simply stated "none shall stand between me any my lightsabers!" and returned home with all haste. Safe to say you've chosen to take the high road with patience instead, yes money and continued employment can be viewed as beneficial. After all, these things lead to more potential lightsabers. Enjoy unboxing them, and show us all your prized possessions afterward.

    DarthProdigal, you really are a Sith's Sith.  Keep rocking that dark side.  I'm a big believer in balance in the force, and you balance out three or four blue bladed Knights or Padawans. I enjoy their company, too, but it's good to see a proper Sith kicking around.

    Not so patiently waiting on new stunt Consular in consular green. Yeah, I know, I'm a boring old man. I'll live with it.  Ordered the 27th, shipping to the swamps of northern Florida.  Trust me, you'll hear me grumbling and keeping everyone updated on the progress.

    HA, thanks JB, that's one heck of a compliment. I do try to make moderately earnest reflections of my nature or humor throughout. But on case by case basis, different things are called for and one must adjust accordingly. I surely know how to blend into polite society if needed or abide my rules as necessary... but if I were to go pure Dark Side lets just say it's felt zipcodes or states away if I'm absolutely done reigning myself in for a while. But survival supersedes most other things, and pure darkness doesn't always suit that end I've found this to be true anyway. Better to let people think what they will at times and what they must at others. Let alone the fact that keeping allies solely through fear is a fragile alliance at best.

    Though I must say, waiting for a lightsaber can be a brutal test of patience. I grew mighty anxious waiting a relatively brief time for mine, and am chomping at the bit to order more. So you could say I'm patiently waiting for my new funds to accrue to necessary levels to pull the trigger on a Fallen, Mantis, Malice, or possibly a Spectre, Empress, or Grand Master if I really want something a bit more ornate. Heck, even a combination of any of the above is possible. Safe to say I really am fond of several of the designs of these US hilts. I'll likely make a Fallen, Spectre, or Grand Master saberstaff eventually (if not all 3) and one of these varied options with a BA sound board will be a must have as well. Only limited funding is delaying expanding my arsenal, but for such glorious weaponry I can be rather patient. If I was more impulsive I'd likely have pawned actual weaponry by now to quickly achieve these goals, but I have iron clad rules regarding trading such things for slightly less practical things overall. As you eluded to, Sith at heart but eminently practical.

    Thus I mostly tend to curb others anxieties/concerns to pass the time instead, and attempt to reinforce the foundations of our little community rather than shake them terribly. More lightsabers in hands and satisfied owners adds it's own sense of fulfilment/satisfaction. I prefer a world covered in lightsabers. Feeling this reinforces interest, promotes epic videos and thus greater levels of achievement. Selfishly also hopeful for meaningful combatants to one day challenge, since I'm less apt to have followers. I'm combat addicted, even losses can teach or be exhilarating. But all things in good time.

    Perhaps recent news will help to alieve alittle of the anxiety about long wait times for in stock sabers.  I received an email at 1 in the morning last night saying that my Consular was completed and scheduled to be shipped on Monday.  I ordered on the 27th.  Perhaps receiving an email on the weekend shows that US has ramped up weekend and overtime shifts to complete orders.

    I respect your stance, DarthProdigal. I really don't want to abbreviate your name.... More sabers in hands definitely up our chances for (positive, reinforcing) confrontations and clashes.  I'm just a cranky old outcast from the Jedi order, but I can still fight!  Bring it on Siths and Council!  I'll show you what a cranky old coot can do! (btw, I'm 38, but I'm preparing for old coothood early. I figure more practice now will make me better at it, then).

    Especially because a green bladed saber will shortly be in my hand, equipped with a heavy blade....

    For real? That's disappoiting. I got most of my order related answers by email. But the zendesk chat was really quick to answer about other stuff. Can't recall if I asked about my orders or not.
    Soooo just asked about guardian availabilty.
    Here is the answer I got after they told me to ask by email and I asked what kind of questions could be asked on the chat :
    "The live chat is to provide information about the website or products that we offer."
    Strange... As I thought I asked a question about a product they offer. But oh well =/

    Post by: DarthProdigal on February 02, 2021, 01:46:20 AM
    Yes, I believe the Zendesk chat is simply supplemental information assistance. Not entirely dissimilar in ways to the manner help is provided in many places here (albeit unlicensed and more informal here) they are (at least as I believe/understand) performing like a supplementary assistance function. They aren't tied into tracking orders specifically, relaying those details, or having control over that... to the best of my knowledge. So think of it more like separate "departments" of a company in a way. Accounting couldn't tell you about freight schedules. They simply answer/field a lot of basic inquiries within the realm of their ability, and then have the ability to push relevant inquiries and concerns higher up the ladder to customer service reps when necessary I suppose. I mean this is all from my point of view only, and just my experience mixed with my take on it. But they can be rather helpful if you ask the right questions or have seemingly simple concerns. Its a way to get some quick and easy responses or let someone know the relevant reasons you might need an e-mail instead if warranted.
    It did help me out when I had some questions and got some quick answers.

    4 MBs nice. I wish I could enjoy ordering something like that... I got lucky with the MB I ordered in July, but... It's too big a risk for me since I don't love that many sabers ^^'

    That sounds like quite the venture and an interesting gamble. You could all pick at random and just "stick with what you get" or open the floor for trading to any who want to after unboxing. Or do a much more Sith mentality thing and open them all, choose yours, and parcel out the rest as needed maybe following the previous ideas afterward. So many options, and it's interesting when dealing with blind chance. I wonder if you got the sound mystery boxes, regular, or a mix coming? Also interested as well what order you placed that's delayed currently. I mean these may tide you over till your order ships put eventually... they get produced eventually, although sometimes after a prolonged wait. Glad you're handling it well and figured out a productive and fun stop gap measure. With luck you all will love your new lightsabers and all enjoy practicing or training. It's a good bit of fun.

    Even more sithy would be to claim your precious. And gift each one according to your own wish, using the disappointment and resentment of your disciples to gain more power and push them more on the path of the Dark Side.

    All these temptations from the Dark Side... It's... Intoxicating.

    My June order was two sabers, one being a Blue bladed Bellicose with all the bells and whistles since I figured "go big or go home". The other saber is an Orange bladed Scorpion without sound for my brother.

    Ha, I love that, well said. Literally not trying to please them at all, but just sowing seeds of envy and hate leading to anger and discord between them! Seeing which they like and the looks in their eyes/faces and then denying them outright and putting it just out of reach. MAN, that's one way to create some infighting and conflict if you wanted to gauge their abilities and find an apprentice or something along those lines... That's DARK and worthy of a Dark Side point from me for such a purely savage suggestion... That's some over the top, Sith Lord, pure Dark Side type of plan. I could never advise doing such a thing to one's family IRL of course, since I can't be liable for the potential fallout... but wow, I'm impressed it's not just my mind that can produce something so vicious. Someone has studied the ways of the Dark Side well. That's soooo wrong, but it made me smile.

    I got a response from Brent about my June order!
    From the sound of things, my Bellicose should be ready to go, but the Scorpion is what's out of stock and holding up the order. According to the forecast from the manufacturer, they expect to have it back in stock in 10-12 weeks. I was offered some other hilts to substitute for the Scorpion however but it wasn't my saber to decide. My older brother said he's a patient man so we decided since we've waited this long, what's a little longer for the sabers of our desires?

    I'm new to this whole game and just ordered my first, A Dominicide, with money I got from a very long fiasco with a pair of Bose Sunglasses. I ordered it as a "Birthday" present back in September, and I still wait to this very day. It's a good thing that life keeps me occupied, or else I'd probably be chewing my fingernails off waiting for the thing :D

    Thank you, Prodigal! Through my Karate class I was actually trained in basic Kendo and some minor Sword Arts snicker

    The rest came from playing probably WAY too much Soul Calibur. But then again, motion captured swordsmen and the best character creation around is a good combo. Even made my profile pic in there!

    Oh, I played the heck out of SC so I can follow you there! I mean there was even the version that had Yoda or Vader as playable characters if I'm remembering it right. Fun and fluid combat mechanics, lively characters and game modes, and you're right about it having had pretty stellar character creation... Soul Edge consumes all, now that'd be an interesting lightsaber duo. Soul Edge and Caliber.

    Anyway, yes it's great you got some sword training out of your experience! That's one of the reasons I could ultimately justify my lightsaber in the first place... No, it's not just for fun, it's training equipment I swear. Yeah the nerd in me just likes it a bit better this way. That'll be why I'll go with a fancy sound system and FOC in the next round, fully satisfy that craving... but we'll see how long I have to patiently await these funds accumulating. I'll probably have to roll a D20 by then to decide what will win out, off of my ever growing wishlist. Too many hilt options I like, and people here keep showing me more I now covet. Ah well, I'll have my hands on them eventually. Till then, as you say, we train.

    Recently put in my fourth order. Figured it was time to splurge a little bit and ordered a Graflex and a Fulcrum, both with sound and arctic blue blades. I know arctic blue isn't quite canon but I like the lighter blue a bit better anyway. Also threw in an extra mystery box to hit the free initiate tier. Pretty fresh order so I may be waiting for a while longer still. Can't wait to hold that graflex though. Eventually I'll get around to getting a Lost Grey to go with the Fulcrum.

    Got a heads-up earlier today that the sabers I ordered - all three of them - are on backorder for the next 4-8 weeks.  They did offer me substitutes, but after thinking about it a little bit...I want what I ordered.  Since I've been perfectly fine with playing the waiting game all this time, no reason why I can't wait some more; the end results have been worth it.

    Doesn't change the fact that waiting sucks, LOL.

    It's such a great feeling for sure. I remember shouting "YES!" and I think probably jumping in the air... it was a shameless celebratory moment, like winning a nice bit of money on a lottery ticket or something. It's a great moment for sure, especially for those who are waiting on their very 1st lightsaber! Good luck containing your excitement while you wait.

    Great to hear, and see as well!

    It's good you all sorted out a reasonable way of doing things, and were sufficiently pleased with how things turned out as well as your lightsabers themselves. I can't argue with a red blade, and I don't see that hilt as often, I'm a fan of it overall. Your emitter windows look rather interesting, and I enjoy the grip from that style of grooves on my personal hilt.

    It's at times odd how a lightsaber can feel different from a traditional sword or other training weapons, yet very much the same at others. Maybe it's just tactile sensations warring with muscle memory when adopting different grips, flowing through movements, at points in striking, or in various transitions. At any rate, have a wonderful time with your new acquisition and as a group in your endeavors. It'll be interesting which paths you each walk. Have a blast and feel free to keep us updated if you wish.

    WE HAVE MOVEMENT!  Scheduled delivery date, according to FedEx, is this coming Wednesday the 24th.

    I share this because, to borrow a phrase from World War Z, "Movement is life."  If FedEx is back to picking up packages down there, it means that they're all working on rebounding, however slowly, from the meteorological calamity that they've been going through.  From a humanity standpoint, that's good news.

    I just put in a small order, cashing in some of my reward points and taking advantage of the Winter Soundwave sale. While I know how to do installs, it's sometimes nice to have a saber that just works when you pull it out of the box. Plus, saving 15% is always nice. Also, I have a back log of installs to do, at least 4 Ultrasabers that need boards, one needs a complete install.

    So, to that end, I ordered a Lost Gray. I used to have one and technically still do, but I turned it into a Frankensaber that doesn't resemble a Lost Gray anymore. So, I decided to get another one. My raffle prize came with Obsidian Lite, which I really like, so I decided to order that setup. Violet Amethyst blade, all of the decorative buttons in black and a black AV switch. So, I'm looking forward to that. I saved $29.75 on that beauty. Another thing I ordered was an empty Aeon V3. I used to have one of those that I pulled from a grab bag, but I messed up the hilt trying to customize it. So, I ordered one. That will be a quick stunt build for spinning/playing purposes. I don't know what color I'll wire it up in, it might depend what LEDs I have on hand, or I may order a new one for it. I can't remember if I have any latching guarded switches, so I ordered one of those and a couple of 32" midgrade blades. All said and done, I had over $86 in reward points which, added to my sale savings, had me saving over $126 on my order.  8)

    So, yeah, looking forward to this. Definitely not impatiently, though, given everything going on in Texas right now. I hope everyone down there is staying safe and warm.

    That's pretty cool, got to admit that sounds awesome. You must have some very nice builds done.

I wonder if they've got backup generators going, or simply got lucky. I mean lots of tools don't necessarily need power; and lighting or traveling to and from work safely may be the main concern for the moment... I don't have any idea, but it's amazing that they keep it up through everything in the last week, month, year. Pretty impressive IMO anyway.

    I got an e-mail that my order was going to take 3-4 weeks. But, if I changed the Aeon V3 to the Aeon V4 or Sentinel V5, they could ship it out in 2-3 business days. So, I e-mailed back for them change the Aeon V3 to the Aeon V4. Technically, I have one of those, but it's an LE and I put sound in it. I want something that doesn't bother my neighbors when I spin it at 3 in the morning. ;)

    So, yeah, they're definitely operating right now. I've found over the years that it takes a lot to shut Ultrasabers down for long. Even Hurricane Harvey a few years ago, which definitely hit where they are, didn't keep them down long. The tools to build sabers definitely require power. Soldering irons, heat guns and hot glue guns, mostly. Plus, plenty of good light. Not to mention I personally wouldn't want to do it without heat. So, I think they must have power to be operating. Whether it's a generator or they're just back on the grid.

    Today should be the day my package is delivered; it's in my region as of 1:45 this morning.   Figure I'll post the unboxing video here and give each saber its own separate review, pictures in the appropriate places, and so on.   ;D

    Love the Aeon v4! It is by far one of my favorite sabers, and it has the best balance. Congrats!

    No delivery today; delivery scheduled date has been changed to "pending."   Never mind the fact that - according to the app - it's in Connecticut, about 90 minutes from where I live.

    It's definitely one of my favorite sabers too. I have both an Aeon LE V4 and a Dominix LE V4. But, I wanted an Aeon V3. I have every other model of Aeon but not that elusive V3. But, such is life.

    It all comes down to what you order and if it's available immediatly or not.
    If they have it in stock, I had an order shipped to France in 4 days.
    If not... You have to ask directly if what you want is in stock or not, and if it's not when it should come around.

    Yep, it is the nickel shroud.  They offered me the upgrade and I figured I might as well get exactly the one that I wanted.  I'm shocked they were able to fill the order so quickly, to be honest; from the time I got the notification that I won until the time I got the Golden Ticket, it all took less than a week.

    That sounds awesome, good luck with that. I'll reiterate the previous answer. They've been surprisingly fast on some orders for sure, even recently. But it's all so case by case relatively that it's hard to say anything with a degree of certainty before you commit and see for yourself. I really love the idea you're working around though so I want it all to work out for you. Small groups should be endeavoring to get some good exercise and fun safely... May the Force serve you well in this goal.

    Does that mean customer service has become more responsive?  Or is that hit-or-miss also?  I remember it depending greatly on who picked up your email.

    It all comes down to what you order and if it's available immediatly or not.
    If they have it in stock, I had an order shipped to France in 4 days.
    If not... You have to ask directly if what you want is in stock or not, and if it's not when it should come around.

    Well, they weren't kidding when they said if I switched to the Aeon V3 to the V4 I'd get my order soon. I got it today.

    (https://i.imgur.com/iv4C2fP.jpg)

    I love the Lost Gray, though I knew I would. It's in purple, though it looks white in the photo. The Aeon I'm mildly annoyed at. With the V3 I ordered, I ordered a guarded switch hole. I even have a guarded switch in the baggie there. What I got was not only the (expected) different hilt, but the (unexpected) different switch hole.  ::) I haven't decided if I'm going to build that as a stunt, as intended, or as a sound saber. Even if I do put sound in it, the sound board will have a mute function.

    I'm glad you're all excited, and receiving or soon to receive those orders, the "haters" of US never seem to make vids about these turns of events. Beware, Ultrasabers can sometimes amaze you with their turnaround times and customer satisfaction levels... yep, that'll be the day; seeing those vids. Someone please title an unboxing video with something to that affect, I would but don't have anything on it's way.  :'(

    It sounds like exciting times for both of you, looking forward to seeing some pics.  8)

    I've always found the shipping times to be really fast from Ultrasabers. I know they have some slowdowns, like when a new Star Wars movie is releasing. But, I've mostly experienced 2-3 business day shipping times, with the obvious exceptions of raffle orders and preorders. What happens after they get it into the hands of the shipping company isn't their fault, of course, but Ultrasabers is usually really fast on their part of the deal. With some companies who shall remain nameless due to forum rules, you're lucky to get your order within a few months, with some you're lucky to get it the same year.

    It really depends. They've had a really hard time with the begining of covid and faced HUGE delays. But they shipped everything (or close to. Is there anyone still waiting on something from 2019/first half of 2020?).
    If what you've ordered is available, it's just insane. I got a saber shipped to France in 2 days and fedex got it in my hands in 3 days.

    Right now, it seems they are shipping the winning orders and prizes over other orders placed by the same people. I'm still waiting on the Guardian when I've seen many people getting one either as their winning order or prize.

    Feeling frustrated is perfectly understandable. And justified.
    Though, as you stated, different sabers ship differently.
    I don't recall seeing many chosen one being posted lately so yeah, this particular hilt might lack one or more pieces that are on backorder =/
    So there are people still waiting for june 2020 orders =/
    Similar consecutive delays have impacted other hilts and orders. Lost grey and Fulcrum for exemple. The black Empress without engravings kept beeing pushed back so I switched to an engraved one.
    There is nothing we can do as the forum is mostly saber enthusiasts. If you still get answers from US, stay tuned. Ask regularly. And be patient. You'll love it when you get it =)

    Well, good to hear you got them all now. Since I think part of that order was the one you were waiting on for a while? They all look pretty great.

    Looking good, and I think it'll be interesting if you setup that two tone saberstaff. It sounds like what you intend, so do post a pic when they're connected. That'll look interesting.

    Archon Classic pommel is out of stock. I got the choice of the normal Archon pommel and the Shock pommel. What they have in common, I have no idea. I chose the normal Archon pommel. I'm also waiting for my 32" Ultraedge saber blade, cut specifically for the Archon v3.1. Hopefully they don't fv2K up my blade any day now.

    April 1, huh?  Two thoughts come to mind:

    Happy birthday to the Weasley twins

    Hope it’s not an April Fools Day joke

    I'm starting to wonder about that; the last FedEx update that I got was that it was in Cypress, TX as of 1:30 in the morning on March 30.  No further updates since then.   Delivery was supposed to be today, we'll see....

    Well, I went and did it again...treated myself to a double order, the Lost Grey and Fulcrum.  Thanks to all the points I saved up, plus the 15% off sale, I ended up getting a rather nice discount.

    Yeah, I know I'm going to be in for a looooooooong wait for those two, but it was either use the points or lose them.  I pretty much bought two for the price of one; no way could I pass up the opportunity.    8)

    You guys aren't gonna believe this.   In fact, I'm not sure if I believe it.

    I placed this order two days ago - for the Lost Gray and Fulcrum, remember - and just got the Golden Ticket a few minutes ago.

    TWO. DAYS. AGO.

    My head is spinning.  

    EDIT - Estimated delivery date is Wednesday the 28th.  That will have been exactly one week since I placed the order.   Wow.

    Maybe they finally got them and someone ragequitted just before they received the hilts? This is crazy...

    They changed the delivery date; it'll be here Monday the 26th instead of Wednesday.   

    As for the Spectre and Scorpion, no further updates so far, so I'm guessing I still have a few weeks of waiting on those two.

    That works for me, I ordered the one with the etching.  And with windows in the emitter, that's holding it up as well.

    Got an email from customer service; they got a shipment in of Crimson Scorpions with the claw and recharge port, and they offered me the chance to switch my order to that hilt.  My original order was for the regular Scorpion, but I have a lot of black and chrome hilts in my lineup already, maybe a splash of color would go nicely, you know?   ;D

    Welp, long time, no post I know.

    I'm coming up on almost a year of waiting since I put in my order for the Bellicose and the Scorpion...

    I know it's the Scorpion that's holding it up and my brother is "patient man" but I can't wait any longer. I know the black and silver design is what he wants on it and not a colored one but the substitution options the gave us two months ago weren't anything he wanted.

    At this point I just want to check in on the order and see if there's been any movement on the Scorpion but I'm not sure how to ask without sounding like an inpatient 5 year old...

    I'd say something in the lines of "hello, I would like to enquire about order #XXXX I passed on "date". Do you have an updated lead time on the scorpion? best regards" is both factual and polite. Not too "5yearsoldy"

    Agree with this, i do.  Though i include a request for an estimated time to completion and will follow up weekly until i get that info.
    Once the estimated date is provided i wait until it is reached.  One week after the date passes with no update or item in hand, i once again contact the customer service with the same request - this time including something about "previous estimate was <date> but it has passed and <all the rest> "

    Hey first time buyer here from Canada. I ordered my first sabre back on May 4th of this year. Every time I check the website it says the order is being processed. I've sent emails to the company asking what's going on but I've gotten no response yet. I'm just wondering if this is normal or if I should cut my losses and try to get a refund on the sabre.

    You asked for advice, so I’m going to tell you what I would do, and that it’s based on being an UltraSabers customer since 2014.

    Don’t give up.  Do like nunya and DarthRondoudou (above) recommend.  Follow up, politely and consistently.  They will get you your saber.

    I just did my first order in a long time!  I snagged a set of empty V3 initiates to make a stunt staff with!  Grabbed another quick release coupler too. 

    I dumped my points and used the sale code and didn't even break $100 shipped.  Can't beat that!

    I've always wanted a set of those v3s but it seemed like they were always out of stock.

I have been trying to keep my nerves from firing like should say a lightsaber with flash on clash.  I have been distancing myself with music. Thankfully the dreams have not started. I did have one around the time I decided to order. May the force be with you! Already planning on getting another few in the future.

    Make that I did go all out and now have a diamond Azure Fallen on order. Now the dreams have started. Had one last night. Just had another today. First one was funny but this I just had has me up and feeling upset and frustrated. Find the first one on my dream thread here on the Fan Fiction and Art thread here. Ironically I should get back to sleep.

    I ordered 3x mystery boxes the other day :D

    I've known about Ultrasabers and have wanted a saber for years and now have the means to get one. I had seriously considered getting a saber with sound but when looking at the price, and realizing just one saber wouldn't be as fun as multiple to mess around with friends, I decided 3x mystery boxes would be a great sampler before I get something specific. I'm fully expecting to get 3 simple stunt sabers, but at least I'm entered into the raffle, to make the most out of my purchase.

    My sabers should arrive on the 18th.

Love the first two that I've gotten from mystery boxes and took the plunge to get one with sound. I may spend the entire christmas break whizzing around the house and letting the saber woosh and hum ... and letting the dogs decide if I am light side or dark side ... mwahahahaha!

    I just ordered one myself. It's a no-brainer with the 50% off deal right now. If I had known UltraSabers was selling Xenopixel hilts from other vendors and could get in on a sale, I would have purchased my Ahsoka Tano "Rebels" hilts thru them instead of from overseas, even though I'd be getting 36 inch blades instead of 32 and 26.

    How are those Ahsoka sabers? I was quite impressed with the Emperor hilt. I'm still in the middle of the moving so I haven't played that much with it, but it's a beauty.

    Getting a Phantom Initiate v2 LE staff in BVA; hoping to start bringing it to cons with me for some friendly sparring (and maybe some casual spinning at the raves if I decide to actually go, lol--I love the vibes but can't stand that level of noise for very long).
