And I just asked the original poster to join the forum and post some pictures here. Hopefully he'll do so. If he uploads pictures somewhere else I'll post the links here.

For you, dude?! Or was it posted on Facebook or something? As the old fashion internet rule says: pics or it didn't happen

Light and darkness, you cannot have one without the other. To achieve equilibriem you must be in harmony with both; the path between.

Naw, I'm from the IGG lot. But three people in the Kickstarter thread LDP linked have now said theirs have arrived.

Ugh, no pictures yet but I don't think the first guy understands his saber that well.
Under Update 14, my saber is the second one shown (under the black one as you scroll down). The only difference is that one of the buttons on the switch is not attached (came in an envelope). I backed at the $150 level.
That means his saber is this one: $150 tier for reference:
Pledge $150 or more
214 backers ASP Custom Saber Hilt From our wide selection of Adaptive Saber Parts you get to chose an emitter, pommel, body, and switch section to build your very own custom designed saber. You also get all three 11x17 SaberForge cosplay prints, a saber belt clip, a blade plug, and a gorgeous saber stand, a 275.00 value for a pledge of just 150$ Here's where it gets interesting:
Can't seem to post pictures here. With the plug out, the blade will only extend about a foot from the end of the handle. Also the switch has to be removed and can't be reinstalled without drilling a hole in the blade because the screw is long. Even with a longer blade and shorter screws or holes drilled, the emitter shield can't be installed and that alters the look of the saber. It is a problem that could easily be fixed with one more set screw added to emitted shield though.
And upon looking at Makten's Avenger review:
That is interesting. It shows the same part I have except upside down. The part where his blade come out is actually the pommel on my saber. I may have to reconfigure mine as there is no way to add a blade with light or electronics the way it is now. The blade would have to pass through the electronics, come out the bottom, or have a different part at the top added that had retention screws.
What I'm getting from this is that he ordered a separate 26" blade from the main site to use with his saber which is an empty hilt. Then, not knowing the blade is supposed to sit on top of the LED module, he tried to insert his blade into the hilt and thought "Oh, the switch screw is stopping the blade. Better remove it and drill a hole in the blade because that's the only possible way this blade will be secured!" On top of that, it appears that he thinks the Avenger emitter is the pommel of the blade. I think he's calling the pommel the "emitter shield" because I really can't think of how not using the blade plug would alter the appearance of the saber.
I'm an IGG backer, so I can't do it myself. But reading the ongoing saga of him trying to figure out how to put the blade in is making my everything hurt.
Exactly the case with me right now, to be honest :/ |

He...h-he thinks, the emitter, is the POMMEL?
  PLEASE, be a troll. Oh god, the first person to receive their ASP, doesn't even...? My brain hurts, as well as my zen & chill. He drilled into the saber? By the Force  Sorry, if I was rude, but I gotta go take some ibuprofen or a blaster to the head. Somewhere out there, Christopher Lee is rolling in his grave. Someone please help this man, I pity so bad. |

Breathe in...breathe out.
It shouldn't come as any surprise that the first person to get their ASP saber is a saber newb. After all, there are always those people who are constantly on the Internet and just do things for the sake of doing things. Check the parts, too. Very unorthodox, almost random parts. |

You would think someone experienced would have gotten theirs first, like Jordan, Shameem, Justin, Daniel.
Woe to this guy when he realizes he messed up, haha, he's going to be pissed! Embarrassing. OH CRAP, THEN he's going to put a review saying it was incomplete or that the set up makes no sense and sucks. Damn then there'll be MORE people bashing at SF! Its like the same people who are responsible for the removal of the initiate tier from Etsy. THIS is why we can't have nice things. |

I don't understand....he obviously used the ASP designer tool to design his saber...right? How could he not know what the emitter and pommel was? On top of that, putting the blade and LED into the creator will show it coming from the proper end.

*bashes head against table, repeatedly* The best part is: HE VOIDED THE WARRANTY BY DRILLING IN THE SABER! OMG ROFL

As a newb in all practical terms, Thank God I'm paranoid. I really pity this dude, his phrase of the week is going to be sob. Maybe SF needs to tape on top, middle and bottom. If someone really can do this?
 Not being a smart " you know", but this will have people who barely know SWs and really will have no clue. I do kind of pity the SF employees, getting more business should be good. Sounds like they crazy amount of orders would inundate lockeed

Guys, remember we've at least been researching sabers if we don't already have one.
This is a probably guy who saw the Kickstarter and jumped on it without really understanding what he was getting. Let's try and be understanding and help him  Lewis |

Idp, well said bud. You guys have helped me and my Saber isn't hear yet. Though I'm still really looking forward to it and wish I had gotten in on the early ASP donations

Gotta go first come first serve, who knows where the experienced ones are in the queue. Can't really justify skipping to #2,394 for good press when #1 hasn't gone out.
As for the warranty...as these are shipped disassembled, and not assembled working sabers, not really much warranty to void except on the drilled part. "Hey, the body got drilled, and even though the emitter is still in the envelope, that's voided too." I'd be genuinely surprised if a new piece-by-piece system didn't account for piece-by-piece warranty planning. |
