There were two saber booths at Wondercon. Ultra and Saberforge
Ultra's booth was FLOODED with people.
Saberforge didn't have hardly anyone at his booth the few times I walked by.
Ultra had techs building sabers there on the spot for customs purchased that day.
Saberforge did not.
I saw a TON of people walking around the con with their Ultrasaber.
The only Saberforge hilts I saw were from 2 people that had already brought them with their costume.
Ultra had AWESOME sale prices for the con only. He had a ton of stock, too.
Saberforge had ridiculously expensive hilts on display. From what I saw, he brought no stock with him. (although I could be wrong, but his booth was rather empty behind the tables from what I saw)
As a business owner myself, I feel Ultra had the best products and BEST overall layout there. You NEED to do con specials in order to sell mass quantities.
Based on what I said, you be the judge guessing on how well sales went.
BTW, cool pics, gchu149!
I had absolutely no idea Saberforge was even present at Wondercon 2011.
Oh well...
My only regret was not purchasing one of the Ultrasabers there, particularly a Bane V3, even a saber without sound. It felt so good and comfortable in my hands.
I only hope both Wondercon and Ultrasabers return to Anaheim, I will right the mistake from last year.
