$15 isn't going to break the bank in any way, shape or form I should clarify that I am on a limited budget (I'm making a fan film) and so $15 does make all the difference, especially when you factor in shipping to the UK.

Yeah, the shipping to Australia isn't much better. I just eat lots of Ramen to balance out the Force (on my wallet) lmao

I would do that too. Depends on how much adulting I have to do elsewhere in life.

This is a good point... I often need to use my car to do most of my adulting. I'm not sure yet how to make my car run on Ramen. She's greedy and always wants fancy petroleum distillate

My shipping is terrible too. But $15 for QDs isn't going to stop me from getting it. I will just wait till I have the money for it, and then buy it then. I'm good at waiting. I waited 3 years after I started looking for sabers to buy mine. I waited 3 months to send my saber in to fix it.

I like the look of this saber very much. Problem is I have promised myself Tri-CG for my next saber. Ho hum... Will have to think & wait a while(starting to get itchy trigger finger, not having ordered a saber for some time) Edit: Shipping is a pain in the wallet when you are not "Contiguous United States". Its a pity some compromise of perhaps reduced shipping for overseas customers, isnt possible with some of the deals!

If you ive out side the United States you could use a skybox which will give you a US address and then they will ship it the rest of the way at a lower cost.

Always nice to see someone from Trini on the forum (my mother's island). I live in the UK and it's not so much the shipping costs that are bad, it's the customs import tax. Fortunately, those costs are included with FedEx pricing on international shipments.

I think BH is perfect as is to recreate MJ's blade colour.
Thanks, Knox! Yeah, I really think you're right. I was looking at a whole bunch of pics about it comparing them to BH and pretty darn close. I don't plan on getting QD with any of my sabers. Means I have an excuse to buy more hilts in different colours.
One huge benefit of having QD's on multiple sabers is the more you have the more it works to your advantage because of the number of combinations you get by multiplying the number of QDs you have by the number of sabers you have. So 2 sabers with QD's become like 4 different sabers, 4 sabers with QD's become like 16 different sabers, etc. Pretty cool way to add more modularity to your sabers in addition to the MHS compatibility.

I understand the benefits of Qd, I just personally won't be getting it on my sabers. I only plan on getting maybe three sabers total and will have thought long and hard about blade colour before placing my order, so will have no need to change the colour. But like I said, that's just me. I'm perfectly happy being QD-less.

Yeah! That's right! I'm not fickle. I won't be swayed by clever technology and pretty lights.

Its a pity some compromise of perhaps reduced shipping for overseas customers, isnt possible with some of the deals! Or just simple stuff like stands or blade plugs could be pretty cool. But I guess it depends where the lines gets drawn on the profit margin. Free US only shipping on so much of the stuff I order is just one more reason that makes me want to move to the US though tbh. This deal still works out really well though for the other discounts and the fact that you can get a free initiate for a purchase over $500. So it's not like we miss out completely. We only miss out on ONE of the SIX perks

I do have a VA/purple grab bag saber & the colour is very nice. I also know enough to allow for the import tax now & fedex shipping has never been less than hyperspace quick & brilliant(I'm one who tracks it every step & it still suprises evey time).
