I was wondering if there was an update on when the ASP shop will be opening. I know currently Saberforge is probably still working on the last of the Kickstarter and Indigogo orders, but I didn't know if there was a set date for the ASP shop to open. Will there be any specials for people purchasing during the grand opening?

Also, will we be able to purchase electronics packages through the ASP shop as well if we would like to add to an empty hilt. The plug and play kit that came with my Kickstarter backing is a great starter kit. Especially for those without the tech savvy to do it ourselves.

The last offical word was that they planned to have all KS and IGG orders shipped by the end of april.

They just started shipping IGG orders in the last week or so (3-5 total reports).

Many KS backers are still without shipping notice.

My guess would be July if not later.

If they can maintain their current output, I don't believe it will take that long. :)
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

As always, I try to extrapolate possibilities according to the information we have. With their current output, and barring any unforeseen parts issues, I feel like it won't be as long as all that. Do I have any official info. No. Is this anything more than an educated guess. No. Am I being the eternal optimist. Absolutely!

Like you guys, I would love for it to be sooner than later. The truth of the situation is that it will be, when it will be. It's like waiting for that first saber. Tough while its going on, but so satisfying when its over and the saber is in your hands. Just keep the faith guys, and know that despite however much time has already been, and whatever might be yet to come, you are down for your ASP reward, and the shop will open to the public as soon as that is the case for everyone.

  • Attatchment is forbidden. Possesion is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, essential to a jedi's life. So you might say, that, we are encouraged to love.

I don't mean to crush anymore dreams but I've read on here and on the kick starter that there could be a few hundred people left in kick starter without sabers and there estimated saber out put is more how many numbers they go up in the Que. not as much how many sabers are actually made.... That is more speculation I feel but the people left I think is more realistic anyway.

I personally hope that is not true and they can get it up soon as I'm still waiting on my saber also and I want to have the most faith in saberforge as possible

Cloud, still trying to decipher what you actually meant there - but I can say that SF's business has grown so quickly they are playing catch-up in terms of orders to fulfill, while trying to manage(perhaps 'harness' might be a better word?) the supply and logistical nightmare that the speedy growth has necessitated. Remember all the while they need to (especially important in times of rapid growth) keep a tight rein on QA in order to maintain a reputation for quality.

Sometimes 'go faster' isn't always the best way to increase output efficiency. (the Titanic went full steam ahead to please the investors and arrive early, they cut corners and look what happened to that particular ship!)

Be patient, they will get there.

Edit: As someone who is also waiting for sabers I have ordered, I understand your frustration and the desire to get hands on new toys - but patience is the only way forward. Do you want them to rush it through to save a day or two and then have the crushing disappointment that because of the hurry your saber is not as good as it should be?

I see what you did there. I forsee that the work for the forge will not slow down just because the pledges are done. It's a nice concern to have.

I appreciate that they're doing this push to get everything done (etsy, KS, IGG) before launching ASP. IMO it's the right call. They're also wrapping up the KS Legacy Tier hilts, Daniel Lane contacted me to confirm the final version of my build before getting started. He said it should be done by the end of the week. B)

I agree as a KS backer at the $700+ tier who has not gotten shipping notice or any word other than your in queue as of February. I can definitely say KS is not complete.
