30% off the Guardian now. (no, I didn't buy one, I'm just saying) Ultrasabers is going all out this Holiday season.
I too got an Archon 2.1 shipping notification. Man, that's fast. Two days. Sure, I asked them not to assemble it, but that's beside the point. The last "other guys" order I did was an empty hilt, nothing else. Took two weeks to ship. Nobody does it as fast as Ultrasabers.
