Been dying to get this saber since I first saw it on the website back in January. I've never seen it listed as "in stock". Really want to get both SS options with Violet Amethyst and a Yellow illuminated Silver A/V switch. I've checked forthis saber every week for 6 months. I don't care what promotion is in play when it pops back up, I'm pulling the trigger. Any rumors?

I was lucky to get my Super Sith Raven when I did. Its so odd that it's been out of stock for awhile.

It's not odd, there's a shortage of machined parts. Based on the main ordering site, I'm going to guess that they're out of claws and/or the part the claws screw into.
I'm also going to guess that they're trying to get parts/hilts for higher volume hilts first, meaning that you'll likely see the Initiate/Aeon/Dominix v3's back in stock first.
It's funny, you can look at the site right now and have a pretty good idea which hilts are the most common in Grab Bags.

True, and maybe also surmise why MB's are taking weeks to process. I was also lucky when I went through my MB phase when dozens were indeed stacked behind Emory in that video on the website. I got my tracking number the following morning after I'd ordered, and it arrived a few days later.. Now it would seem they are making MB's as they need them, in the general production process (although I hope the hilt is picked in a somewhat "random" fashion}

This right here is what has been of my mind lately. It's a thing to pick one random "box" from a shelf, though I do believe they know what is inside, it is an entirely other thing to build a "random" one from scratch. So how do they decide what they build to ship as MB is the question =)

The Raven will be back in stock at some point, I'm sure.US hasn't been in the habit of discontinuing hilts for some years now. Not since the V3's came out has this happened, and that was 8 years ago now, so it being discontinued is very unlikely. It's just a victim of the many supply issues they're having at the moment.

I have always wondered how "random" the Mystery Boxes are. I guess I'm just suspicious, but I have always wondered if they keep a proper ratio of value in there. I wonder that about everything that is "hidden", of course that's the rage these days. At least with major companies they have to post the actual ratio of things they put in the boxes. with US we are all just kind of hoping that they are actually putting the more valuable stuff in there on occasion. Didn't stop me from ordering a couple though....
