So I see a new update on the ASP Kickstarter page about 12W+ LED's, so the question is... Will the new LED setup first show up on ASP orders or will they make it's way to Etsy and SF orders first?

Nevermind... Looks like it's ASP then SF/Etsy per Shameem.

"The new 12w+ LED will also be replacing the current 12w LEDs on the saberforge website and etsy shop later this summer once the ASP system is officially released to the general public."

My order is currently "confirmed" at the 4week mark from the SF website, what do you think the chances are that it'll take long enough that I have a chance to get the 12W+ LEDs instead of the standard 12W? lol

Very very low. I doubt they have plans on implementing new LEDs on current orders until current stock runs out, and current stock/orders are generally/typically enough to cover all current orders and be a bit ahead of schedule. So, ASP releases later this summer/fall, I very highly doubt any orders (even if submitted today) will be outfitted with the new LEDs. Few weeks from now... perhaps. Better chance of it then.

I asked if my Bane could be delayed until the release of the 12w+ and it was intimated that it would be awhile (at least a month, maybe two) and only certain colors will be available. How long/what colors wasn't made clear and I didn't want to pester them too much (and delay my Bane further) so I didn't ask for clarification.

Fortunately, the saber I am waiting for likely won't be out until later in the summer. That would be the Regal. So, my chances are likely pretty good!

Yeah, when I had that conversation with them they said they have a lot of learning to do for the colors, learning how to resistor the new led's properly and the like, hence the time frame and limited availability of colors to start out with this early lol

I asked Phil for more details since I have to answer these kinds of questions via email. Here's what I got from him:

The 12w+ is in the prototype phase and is currently only available in the different blues, standard green, red, blood orange, white, pink, and purple.

If you want to upgrade your pending order to the new 12w+ in one of the available colors, the cost is $20.00 to add one of those colors now, this includes quick connect installation. There is an extra cost to upgrade now because their quantity of 12w+ LEDs are limited. You also have the option of having saberforge hold your order until the new 12w+ LEDs are officially released in all colors, this will be in approximately 10 weeks, and if you choose this route there is no upgrade cost since they will have received their large quantity order by then at a lower cost.

Hope this helps everyone.

No amber until later? That seems odd as I understand that amber is a "base" color.

So if I already paid for the quick connects, would it only be $10 more dollars? Or I may just wait and get the new CREEs later. Mine is being built this week. :D

So how does this apply to the Kickstarter pledges?
Does the "currently only available in the different blues, standard green, red, blood orange, white, pink, and purple" apply to the Kickstarter as well or are all colors available for the kickstarter pledges? Will our order with the kickstarter be delayed if we want the new LED's or just current saberforge website orders?

Thanks

I'm actually wondering about this myself as I ordered my saber on Memorial Day and I was already considering requesting the original color I ordered (arctic blue) be changed to light blue.

$20 additional. So, if you got quick connects... still $20 additional, it doesn't subtract from the fee.
So how does this apply to the Kickstarter pledges?

The new LEDs will launch with the ASP system, as it says in the kickstarter updates. All ASP sabers will have the 12W+ LEDs.
