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

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
