Are there silver lines down the side of your Relic pommel? If so you did receive the standard finish; it differs from what the saber builder looks like.

The file size is probably too big. I've had to crop down photos on my phone to get them to upload

Nice saber phoenix1222! I can see why the unpolished outer parts of the pommel make a difference in the overall look. Have you sent a email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. yet to see if you can get the issue resolved? I know from other post they have not been matching the builder but that is clearly all black.

What LED color did you pick Afadir? I like how the bottom half is more black than silver, and then the top half is more silver than black; it's got a bit of a yin-yang vibe to it.

The Reliant switch control box being black is strange, since it doesn't match the version on the prebuilt hilt. .

Red, as the design was based on a saber from the old Star Wars Galaxies MMO, that you got from killing an Emperor's Hand on.. one of Naboo's moons, I think? I might get a Mint Green LED for it later, though, as I'm kind of in love with that color lately.

Yeah, so far, mine is the ONLY Reliant switch I've seen with a silver body and black box. Might have just been a mix up during building where someone screwed a black box on to a standard switch housing. I'm almost thinking about leaving the box black now, just because it makes the saber a little more unique, you know? :cheer:

The pommel being black is mildly annoying, but nothing I consider a deal breaker. I was trying to go for a saber that was silver on both ends and black in the middle. The orginal build in the builder looked like this:






Though, I also kind of like how it came out having the "yin-yang vibe" Jaden mentioned, seeing as how my half-baked in-universe persona is a "dark gray" Jen'Saari-turned-Inquisitor.

All-in-all, I'm far more worried about getting a working speaker and being able to align the parts right than any cosmetic differences. I feel my design is solid enough that the colors don't matter, and I've got the parts lined up properly using rubber O-rings right now.

The amount of issues I'm reading about on this thread alone is getting increasingly concerning... :blink:

More so for me as I'm based in the UK, so problems like the shims/charger/screws being missing, or defective components etc aren't going to be a quick thing to resolve

The way I'm figuring it is that ASP orders probably have several stages they go through (Hilt assembly/packing, electronics kit packing, clock ring packing, stand packing, prints & other misc extras packing, boxing, shipping), and since they're in such a rush to get these all out, some sabers are accidentally "skipping stations" on the way to shipping, because one station or another is lagging behind a bit. With the way they bubble wrap/bag everything, it's hard for the guy at the final packing/shipping station to tell what exactly's in there, so some stuff gets missed. They're pushing a pretty fair amount of product out per day, and IIRC, most of the ASP crew are probably fairly new employees. So, mistakes will be made.

Everything I've heard indicates that SF is trying really hard to solve any problems with missing or defective pieces as quickly as they can. So yeah... doesn't really make the transit time any shorter for you, but you can at least be sure they'll jump through the hoops to get it there as fast as they possibly can, if a problem does come up.

Actually *defective* parts, at least, seem to be fairly rare. I'm the first person I know of who got a bad speaker, for example.

That's probably pretty accurate to their process. The bulk of the orders missing shims/other accessories seem to have started around their big push to complete all the preorders.

True. It seems that the reasons most parts were sent back/replaced have stemmed from either parts not matching the builder (and therefore SF was letting people swap them), and user-end wiring breaks (the most common being tightening the LED retention screw before screwing the emitter on)

hmmm... So i've received no build notice, not shipping notice or anything (wasn't expecting to for a few weeks to be honest) but I've just received a DHL delivery notice from a package originating in Wells Fargo.

That's near Saberforge right?

If so it's supposed to be delivered today (shipped on Friday) and as far as I can tell it had no customs charges?

It's a mystery...

After holding off sending an inquiring email on the progress of my saber I finally broke down and sent one last Thursday. I'm IGG backer 950 and I just received an email from Melissa stating that my saber is in the build queue and should be done very soon. Excited is not a big enough word for how I feel and before anyone rains on my parade about "that doesn't mean anything" know that I will force choke you until a Smurf says " Damn dude, you look kinda blue" :lol: The wait is nearing an end. All is proceeding as I have foreseen it.

I had mine less than a week after I got the build notice.

SF is based in Oregon City, but I can't say I've heard of any US city or town called Wells Fargo. Plus any internet searches only bring up Wells Fargo the bank.

In any case, keep us posted!

I'm in the 880s, so I really hope that means that mine is also almost done, as opposed to them just having your saber parts in stock and ready to go.

Gah. I've been pretty chill during the wait these past 5 months, but now that it's is almost over I'm getting super anxious!

It might actually be a false alarm :( Wells fargo bank is opposite saberforge in Oregon.
I've got something bank related being sent to me that might have gone out that day.
Weird coincidence if it came out of that particular bank.

Anyone else crossing their fingers that the Vanquish body gets added to the ASP builder with their update? I really want to see what a curved hilt with a thin neck emitter looks like (among other things).

I just checked the status of my order on the IGG page, and it now says "order locked". I'm hoping that means it's shipping soon.
