Hopefully, someone hinted at them being pretty epic.

Last time I checked, $103,489 raised, 308 backers and still with 34 days to go...

Looking forward to the reveal of those stretch goals. h2soy, you've gotten me pumped now!
Bowties are cool... And so are Lightsabers!

I was on the edge of my seat when it hit 100k and I ran to the FB pages and the Kickstarter page to see if they unveiled anything but... not yet. The anticipation is killing me!

Phil has been oddly quiet today so I suspect that they're prepping stuff for a reveal tomorrow! They've said they're gonna add Legacy custom saber pics and pics of the ASP parts once we're funded and here we are so I suspect they're scrambling to get pics and their plan together for the rest of the Kickstarter.

I'm an info addict so the lack of it has me jonesing pretty bad.

They're probably getting ready to release the Maul and the Bane here soon as well...

With all this ASP stuff I wouldn't be surprised if they pushed them back until after the Kickstarter is done. Or perhaps they have other plans...

I've been so busy getting all excited over reaching the 100k mark for the ASP System that I almost completely forgot about the Maul and Bane! I'm really looking forward to seeing a couple of photos of the finished version of the Bane.

I'd be completely surprised if they held them back quite honestly. There's probably still a lot to do for the ASP in terms of organizing all the parts, digitizing them, getting a site ready to be able to select and assemble all the different parts. Pricing lists, etc. I think there's a lot to iron out still. But at the same time. All the parts should already be in digital form for whatever machine shop they sent them to for fabrication.

For how long now have they been tweaking the Bane claw? It seems like that was the only hang up on which caused its release to be pushed back over a month already. I can't see them holding back longer than they would need to. Especially with it being their first curved hilt release. It will even most likely be a straight to production design and not a limited edition.

Phil is spending a well deserved weekend with his wife at home, so don't expect any updates on ASP or new releases until Monday :)

If you look at the upcoming releases thread here in the forums, the Bane is listed as a standard release, not a limited pre-release. So yeah.

Good. Getting a bit of down time is probably what he needs.

Good for him! Most entrepreneurs work 70+ hours a week so I'm glad he's taking some R&R.

But he did leave us a preliminary update:
First off we are just blown away by the amazing support from our backers, thank you all so very much for helping to bring Adaptive Saber Parts to market. We are working on stretch goals right now, please keep in mind they are tentative and might change, we will post the official stretch goal details as a project updated next week.

Since we reached 100k in only 5 days, with 34 days left our new stretch goal is 300k.

If we reach our stretch goal we are going to be expanding the initial release from 100 unique parts to 140 unique parts.

But that's not all, we will also be expanding our rewards.

225$-350$ Backers will get the choice of a free katana shaped blade or an extra ASP part.

450$-700$ Backers will get the choice of two free katana shaped blades or two extra ASP parts.

1000$ and up backers will get a free Bane curved saber hilt, empty and ready for ASP electronics.
1000$ and up backers will get a free Bane curved saber hilt

1000$ and up backers will get a free Bane curved saber hilt

1000$ and up backers will get a free Bane curved saber hilt

This was the new I was alluding to earlier in a non-subtle way. It gives a lot more value to the $1000 tier which has the fewest people donating. Also, the blades are exciting as well. $300,000 dollars is very doable if the data continues to trend the way it has. Long range projections put end $ at around $518,000.

Keep on plugging the hell outa this! The new horizon is $300,000, we're already 36% of the way there!
