(im)Patiently waiting for my new _______!!!

[TadoeToad195]

I did not upgrade.  What hilt design did you order?

Dark Apprentice LE V4. Last i checked, it was still in stock

[brthegreat]

Okay, so my orders were both cancelled because Pay Pal never paid.....why Pay Pal never paid is beyond me, the funds are there.

Ouch. Happened to me once when I was buying guitar stuff on eBay. It got the order confirmation and everything and then it cancelled.

Ordered a Bellicose in Tri Consular Green with V4 Obsidian with a Heavy Grade Grab Bag in Sunrider's Destiny yesterday, was hoping I could get an estimate on when my sabers would ship.  I HOPE it doesn't come in March, but at least it's 5 months sooner than Saberforge ships.....

I placed a new order, but I seem to be having the same glitch I had before. If it happens again, I'll just pay with my debit card. lol

[Stovepipez]

Well I just got an answer.

To be honest that didn't clear anything, but if someone wanted to have some "news".

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.

Just heard from Brandon about my upgrade.  Added the 2 Li-Ion battery upgrade to my 2 grab bag orders! 

Reset the Excitement Clock  Mr. Wookie! Were going to Plaid.

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.)

Well thats quite upsetting considering the fact that I emailed Brandon 10 days ago about upgrading and he hasn't responded... Im just gonna assume he skipped my email by mistake instead of just ignoring it

I think after US catches up with the Obsidian LITE backorders and AAA backorders, the initial rush will be over. Seems like things are picking up in pace for everything but those items.

[marina_bonomi]

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.

Mivew128, you acknowledged the forums rules but you broke them already... we are not naming other saber vendors, just say "the other guys", please

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.  

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

Ordered two grab bags today.  If they arrived yesterday, they wouldn't have gotten here soon enough.
