Ok, so a Champion-tier saber is about $400.
If I got everything separate it would be $150 (hilt) + about $225 (Champion level parts) = $375. That would mean that saberforge only charges about $25 for labor to install everything. Does that make sense to anyone? Is there an advantage for DIY install vs Saberforge install? Thanks! |

easy change for LED's and the such, tidy professional job, don't have to worry about damaging components with over heating or anything like that.
Personally I mostly see pro's with the PnP kits, for the extra dosh it's worth it imo |

It's not that the labor only costs $25, but that most of the labor is already been taken into account when putting the plug-n-play kits together. The only real work left would alignment and plugging the electronics in.

If you throw out the PNP we are just talking total DIY, I can build a saber with ASP hilt, Spark2, custom LED, blade, everything, for between $250 and $350 depending on specifics. So it's cheaper to DIY, plus you get total customization. If we take it a step further and get raw MHS part, price drops even more, although I'd have to drill and tap holes myself.
