If thats the case they should wrap it in a big sheet of paper that reads "Warning lightly assembled for shipping purpose only, please check and complete assembly before use."

I concur. It'll be a good idea so people won't get pissed about "Oh my saber came in all loose and I broke it. It's SF's fault." Y'know what I mean you guys. There's always going to be people dumb enough to do that.

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

I once would have disagreed. Then SF had to take Initiate tier sabers off of Etsy because people complained they had no electronics. I'm not so sure anymore. |

To be fair, if a persons only exp with sabers is a MR FX saber I can see why they'd make the assumption

I think it just bothers me so much because it breaks the first rule of shopping. When you're buying a tomato, you squeeze it and look for spots. You check the quality of what you're buying and make sure it's what you want before you buy it. Just seems irresponsible to me otherwise.

Awesome point Snakeeyz99. I am the same about buying things. I have looked through SF's website and watched countless you tube reviews prior to making my first purchase. I am pretty sure that I will get exactly what I expect.

GreyjediDude your post had me
 I didn't pledge but I know that there is some assembly required. Amazing that there will be a few with that type of reaction. I havn't watched the unboxing vid. Is there a piece of literature involved that gets thrown aside and not read? Might be some info on it refering to the condition it's shipped in. JUST SAYING... |

It blows my mind how people can drop this much money on something without any sort of research. If I knew nothing about lightsabers or SaberForge, and I saw the Kickstarter or IndieGoGo pages, the first thing I would have done after watching the video and hearing that SF was a pre-existing business would be to google them and then check out their website, which would then lead me to the forum, where I'd be able to get the information that would prevent the issues some of these people are having (like the guy that was drilling holes into his ASP saber because he didn't know how to put it together). |

Exactly. It's sort of the same situation. People don't read the fine print, and then it causes trouble from their part but they refuse to admit they were wrong and instead blame it on the company. It happens in all places, not just here but in other businesses too...and it annoys me so much.

Huh.. just went for a second look and the video is down.
Wonder why? |
ASP Reviews incoming!! 3 months 3 hours ago #44422

Weird. I left a comment on the previous vid asking why.

Uh oh, looks like somebody didn't want us to see this. Or maybe because now its causing people to get worried or suspicious about the condition of the sabers they're getting, so they had to take the video down? Well, at least I saw it. So its too late for that haha!

*sassy Princess Leia eyeroll*Baseless speculation is baseless. SF isn't the KGB in the 1960s. For whatever reason the youtuber removed it. Contact him directly if you're curious why. Otherwise stay on target with the thread topic please. |

Pretty nice looking saber. I've always liked that emitter. I really want to see an unboxing and full review of a Champion Tier though.
|
ASP Reviews incoming!! 3 months 2 hours ago #44434

That emitter looks much nicer to me in the video than it did in the builder. I'm really loving these reviews. Hope they continue!
|
|
No matter what happens now, you shouldn't be afraid. Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.

Ugg. That last "video" is pretty crappy. How can you call a series of still shots (that don't move in rapid succession) a "video"?
I wish someone would do a proper review and show each part up close and show the process of putting it together etc. Earlier I heard that a guy didn't get his "extras" with his ASP saber because they were trying to just ship the sabers out fast and ship the extra stuff later but it looks like that guy in the vid has his saber stand there so it must have just been a fluke for one guy. Anyone know what that long metal looking tube is that he has sitting on his stand beside his saber at the end? (its also in the shot at the beginning off to the side) |

I'm guessing the tube was a spear extension.
|

|
ASP Reviews incoming!! 3 months 2 hours ago #44439

My guess is that tube is a staff extension. As for quality reviews my guess is that you will see a few once the higher tiers come out.
My guess is that most people that are big in this hobbie and will create reviews the quality your looking for are in the higher tiers or ordered empty hilts and will review after their own installs. |
