The last time I pre-ordered a saber was for the Empress (which was 2019 or early 2020).  I paid when I placed the order, not when it shipped.  I do want the Brylark.  I've wanted one like it ever since Gungi built it in "Clone Wars".  It's totally different than anything else and right up my alley.  But, I hate having money tied up on pre-orders (though I do understand why it is done this way).

I did the free initiate promo in the past; they were Initiate V2s (not sound capable) as expected.  This time, however, the offer is a bit different:

"(Free Initiates are grab bag style, random version and finish hilts with electronics installed and 24″ Initiate blade attached)"

I checked with customer service; if you do the $50 dollar sound upgrade to a free saber promo, they are not sending a V2. I imagine it will be an Initiate V3 or V4 ("free initiate") - but I am crossing my fingers that random means grab bag style random (anything is possible).  Either way, this is a saber with sound for $50 when you when you spend $300.  I don't think you can beat that price anywhere.  Worst case, I give it to my nephew; best case I keep it for myself I will let folks know what I get! 

Rules seem easy. Hello, excited to get my sabers!

Updated my spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QrI7It5WS_4svXAzBJIPxDNiK85gT5Q2/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=105993519565216584772&rtpof=true&sd=true

I like that they are incorporating new things like the wood grip.  I like the look of it; ornate with a hand made/non mass produced vibe.  Kind of like comparing something made in 2023 to something made in the Victorian era; "they don't make'm like that anymore" etc. 

It doesn't jump to the top of my list for next few buys; but I do hope to see more options for wood handles/ornate design in the future!
