Absolutely understand where you're coming from.. that's how I felt when I started seeing the spring giveaway orders get theirs, with the mystery box included.

Hope they get yours sorted out, soon, too.. and hope you get something awesome Smiley



~ Casp


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.   Cool

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.

Today I got the dreaded nothingburger Delivery Confirmation email that so many of us seem to have gotten. The optimist in me hopes that this means I'll be getting actual information soon. But having been on these boards for awhile now I know that this isn't necessarily the case.

Hey, 5 weeks later and I haven't even gotten that.  I'm feeling left out.    Cheesy

I don't figure it matters much to the grand scheme of things, but my order that I received tracking on actually does show as completed instead of processing on the website.  *shrug*

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.... Cool

 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.
