Hello All!
Just wanted to post a quick message, my status got changed today to "shipped" So that means my Prodigal Son is being built! I'm 8 and half weeks in so this puts it right on time to the estimated lead time saberforge gave me (saberforge you guys rock!).....anyways, can't wait till it arrives--i'll post pics when I get it!

Actually its late for the lead time. If they told you 6-8 weeks they meant that its 6-8 weeks for the full time from order to delivery.

I used to think it was the same as you are assuming, that 6-8 weeks meant that amount of time until it entered the build queue and then another 2 weeks or more until delivery. But then Knytiri posted that I was wrong and that 6-8 weeks is the FULL time they are claiming for an order to be delivered.


So your order is officially late by quite a bit. If its 8 and a half weeks and you just got your first change since "comfirmed" then you just entered the build queue and it will be another 2 weeks probably till you get it. So it will end up being a few weeks late when you get it. I'm not sure why they haven't updated the lead time to reflect this as most people have been reporting lately this exact amount of time frame: confirmed to shipped(build queue) right at about 8 and a half to 9 weeks.

I think its just confusing people that they still say 6-8 weeks for the full deal.

Likely because there are variables with some orders than can (though not necessarily will) have an effect on the total time it takes for an order to be delivered. We are typically not aware of these issues, and so long as the majority of orders are meeting the stated criteria, there is no need to back track on the stated lead time.

If such a thing becomes necessary though, they will say so, just as they did when things were going so crazy at the end of the year.
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

When i ordered mine back in December the current lead time was 10-12 weeks (or 12-14 I can't remember). And then about a week after my order was confirmed the lead time got changed to 6-8 weeks on FAQ page.

LSkywalker3 sounds like you ordered your PS right after I ordered mine, you should be getting your status change very soon!

Makten that's awesome, your very close to getting yours! Which saber did you order? Post pics when you get it

I ordered a Champion Avenger with 12w Arctic Blue on Dec 7th. I got my shipping notice on Feb 10th.
I will try taking some pics of it and post up a review when I got some time.

Hoping that they did upgrade the LED to 12w+ (Since Knytiri did say they no longer have 12w to ship) and that the edges are not too sharp.
