Or the ability to buy a shroud individually.
Email. You ask nicely and they'll pretty much sell you anything. Downside is that non-standard parts are severely marked up.
I wish more of the parts were available on the storefront as independent purchases. I'm glad the new Fallen parts are being released as separate purchases, but I wish MORE saber parts would be released this way. Reaper emitter and pommel, both with and without claws would be particularly nice... And...
Here is a repeat of the request to see a "visualizer" tool (perhaps with the ordering process) that will apply all the selections you choose to an image of the saber, so that we could see the effect of mixing an Azure Dorininian hilt with, say, the Malice pommel, or so that we could see black claws on an Aeon LE v5, or the impact of various colors of buttons, screws, gewgaws, and gimcracks on the appearance of the saber.
This in conjunction with expanded functionality for pre-built FULL-CUSTOM sabers would be amazing.
-Pick a hilt
-Pick a pommel
-If the hilt supports them, pick neck and/or emitter
-Pick internal electronics, blade colour options, windows if the emitter has window options, and all the other usual things.
-Get your pre-assembled full custom job. Parts are charged at marked-up prices from their standard rates, or there's an extra flat fee for the build being a full-custom saber.
I feel like it's kind of weird that the "basic" sabers have more options with them than the premium ones, and now sometimes the older models have more options than the new. Covertec wheels come standard on a lot of sabers, but with the cheap sabers, they're an optional extra. What if I don't WANT the extra knobby bit sticking out of my hilt? I prefer the "clean" look of a saber without it, and I find it more comfortable in my hands when I can more freely move them. Making the wheel a "standard feature" on the fancier hilts is great and all, but what about a "remove" option? Include it in the price, but if the customer opts out, don't include it on the build. It's a shame I can't easily save myself the trouble of removing this attachment, particularly since I live in a country which DOESN'T use American measurements and in which getting American tools to adjust such things requires extra effort. Similarly, you look at most v4 sabers, and you can get them with or without windows, while this option is missing on the v5 version, and guarded switches as well as AV means there's a distinctively different switch option from any v5 saber too. The lack of window options will save people money on the v5 Apprentice/Initiate models, but other sabers are no less expensive than the v4 sabers with those options paid for. And what if someone wants the Apprentice v5 or the Dominix speciifically WITHOUT the windows? Why not have them as the standard option, and a NO COST alternative option of getting them without? And from v3 up to v5 versions of the basic saber models, you can swap out the plain pommels for a whole mess of fancier pommel options - though a significant number of designs are (once again) notable by their absence. Premium sabers? You get what you're given. You don't get those options as OPTIONS any more, you have to buy them as EXTRA parts alongside the parts that come pre-fitted, and pull things apart to modify them for yourself (which, to be fair, is an easier kind of fun to have when it's simple "screw off/screw on" process without needing extra tools as well).
Also, and I'm sure it's been said before, I'd love to see more slanted and/or irregularly-angled emitter shrouds. Things like the shroud on the Spectre (but on an emitter without the guard), the Bellicose, the Reaper, and the now-old Prophecy v3. Not necessarily just the straight-line slanted options, but some with curved or otherwise-shaped shrouds that cover only one side of the blade. When the v5 range was showing up, I was hopeful there would be something new that filled this niche, but alas, no such luck. At least not so far.
