Texas won't be shutting down any time soon and our county only has 12 cases of CoV, so it's unlikely we'll get a "shelter in place" directive. We're washing our hands and using contact precautions while running 3 full time shifts 7 days a week to get the sabers out. Everyone is working hard for yall; it's like a bee hive. Since I have a moment, I just want to say that I'm extremely gratified to see yall exercising so much calm and patience during this time of national disaster. I've honestly never seen anything like this. It really makes me proud to be a member of this community. Right now, with so many of you stuck at home, we need each other more than ever, and I'm incredibly thankful for each and every one of you. When this plague is over, we should all go get a drink together. I'm sure there's a pub around here that can accomodate all of us

I don't typically drink, and Texas is a long ways away for a pint, but if I could swing it I'd be down for it. Once we toast that beer, we could head out to the parking lot and have one hell of a lightsaber fight club. Confuse the ever living crap out of the rest of the patrons.

I know this is been crazy and you’ve probably got a few extra gray hairs for it but we all really appreciate it. Texas isn’t that far of a drive to go for a drink, maybe just a day and a half or so.

I don't drink, so I call designated driver. Hey Ultra, you wouldn't happen to have a motorcycle I could borrow for that would you So, once again, not adding another month to order times.

Dallas county placed a shelter in place as of midnight last night but that's due to 24 new cases but Dallas is a large city so I'm not surprised. Fort Worth is normally a few days behind so I'm sure they will follow suit. I am happy to see that people here do listen and will follow suit into what's recommended. Thank you, Ultra, and everyone at UltraSabers for working hard, I've heard from a member that he/she received an email from someone at 2/2:30 in the morning responding to their emails so we appreciate that. We know that UltraSabers have been working around the clock (literally) to get everyone their sabers. I volunteer as a designated driver since I don't drink Good to hear everyone there is healthy. I don't drink, so I call designated driver. Hey Ultra, you wouldn't happen to have a motorcycle I could borrow for that would you So, once again, not adding another month to order times. Agreed and I also volunteer as a dd since I also don't drink

Anyone driving from and toward Europe when we're going to that little gathering in Texas? I could use a ride.

Here in my country the situation escalades. Since tomorrow we will be in total lockdown. We can get out of our houses just for shopping food and medicine, and we can go to work only based on a permit, if our presence there is mandatory. Since I work as a prosecutor, i have to go sometimes, we still have urgent matters, some people choose to commit crimes during this state of emergency. Today I stayed at home, so my Emperor's Hand was a good companion. Finnally I had the time to practice more than an hour. Thank you US for all your hard work. It sure is a good way to pass time at home, spinning and practicing with a lightsaber. P.S.: the USA is some weeks behind my country with this pandemic, so please, i urge you, stay at home, stay at home if you can. And take all the hygene measures. It is not a joke. Better spend 2 weeks at home, than going with this for months. We made this mistake, and now it will cost us.

To everyone that this crisis has impacted, know that we are with you. My wife is an RN at a hospital on the front lines of this crisis. As much as I'd like for her to stay home, she has an ethical responsibility to her patients and dutifully marches off to work every night. I worry about her constantly. I sympathize with all of you.
This, too, shall pass so let's keep our heads up! I'm serious about the Ultra Sabers Pub Crawl! I think the Texas Renaissance Festival would be an excellent venue for this. Then we can just camp that night and sleep it off! I'll discuss it with Emory.

Our sabers have been keeping the two kids sane as well; they love showing them off to their friends on chat (kids are so technically connected these days) Even the stunts are amazing, but when they reveal the Dark Apprentice, they look so smug
So, thank you, Ultra, for enabling our desire to look jedi-like a reality.

Yes, I was one of the many who placed an order as well during that time. What I meant was that I hope parts/sabers that were paid for were being sent out to the customers who ordered them rather than being made to wait longer so raffle winners could get thoise parts/sabers for free.
With rare exception US has always followed a first-in/first-out policy. This goes for out-of-stock delays as well. When you're waiting for a particular part or hilt to come into stock you go into a queue and they fill them as the parts come in, oldest to youngest. I went through this when the Obsidian Lite boards were back-ordered by the manufacturer during the order frenzy leading up to "The Force Awakens". Took a good while to get my order, which was a pretty basic saber outside of the Obsidian Lite, which was new at the time. The only cure is patience. We're all in this together, and US has always done a good job of filling orders as quickly as humanly possible and fairly.

I've got a long wait ahead of me but I was fully prepared for it when I placed my order during the last giveaway. I have two diamond Empress sabers on order, a couple of batteries and blades, as well as all the free sabers from the last giveaway (initiate, grab bag, mystery box, and frankensaber). But, you won't hear me complain. They will get here when they get here.
Oh, and while I'm not into the whole "Ren-Fair" scene, I'm down for sharing a beer as long as there is some good 'ol Texas BBQ involved.
