My saber just went into pre-shipment!!! For reference:
Ordered: 1/8 Status Change: 3/26 (11 weeks 1 day) Pre-Shipment: 4/3 (8 days) At least the wait will be easier starting Tuesday when I can watch TFA on endless loop.

That would equate to one really long sentence though right, if without parts  Is a crime not being committed then by dividing the Code into Articles?  That's an awesome R2, what is that 90cm tall and I see your well placed 'Anduril'.

The code, if put on regular 8 1/2 x 11 pages, is 357 pages long and contains 3568 articles which all contain between 1 and 76 lines.
Yeah I keep Anduril right by the door, in case "that day" would come, ya know !

Alright folks, now im gunna need some clarifications.
My order status changed on the 30th of march and i guess im in the "pre-shipment" phase since the tracking number isnt active yet. Can some one explain to me why some people had a status change then go into "pre-shipment" and also how much longer do you think my wait will be since my status just changed to shipped four days ago. |

When your status changes, you get a USPS tracking number. At that point, if you check the USPS site, it will say that the tracking number is not found. When your saber is close to being ready, Saberforge will submit information to USPS, at which point your tracking number will show up on the USPS site and will show that it is in "pre-shipment." You won't get an email for this from Saberforge, and the status will only show on the USPS site.

Congrats, You're in the home stretch. A couple more weeks and you will have taken your first step into a much larger world. |

I ahh's to send back my saber for repairs. So I've been trying to find a way to fill the void in my life. However, all it seems to do is make it worse.
This is a white flashlight. If I hold it up to the blade, the blade lights up. Of course, it's not as bright as a SF 12w+, but on the narrow-beam setting, the blade lights up fairly evenly. Just as evely as our dear 12w+ module, I might say. 
I can adjust the spread of the beam, so I can have however much base flare I want, which is nice. But I have to hold the blade and the flashlight together with no help. Geez, I thought I had blade wobble when I first got my VF. So yeah. Slowly going insane already. What's interesting is I didn't go insane when I was waiting for my saber the first time around. I think. 9 out of 10 voices in my head say I'm not insane yet. The 10th is humming Rey's theme. |

If you think about it, the lead times are going to shorten when they catch momentum with these new prices. Hence the ability to increase productivity and make it more likely for people to shop here. |

Plus when the Etsy shop comes back from "vacation" it's new focus will be on ready to ship sabers, which will help those who don't want to wait. |

I hope that's the case! but doubling the original lead time and now raising prices are not making me as a customer want to jump on another saber in the foreseeable future i have to be honest but you'll never know... When the lead times are at a steady 4 - max 6 weeks i will definitely buy another one
but 12-14 in my opinion is unacceptable especially after saying 6-8 weeks in the first place... If it said 12-14 weeks on the website i wouldn't be so annoyed haha!All the best though! I'm getting closer and closer to getting a notification i hope just got my display stands in today from darklyte and can't wait to get my Prodigal Son and Graflex 2.0 displayed side by side! Killer combo

Nobody likes to pay more for things. However, in this case, the increase is to give their workers a living wage, and benefits. Some will be used to improve operations to reduce wait times, but it seems aimed squarely at making SF a good place to work for their employees. As reasons go, that is one I can agree with.
As for wait times, they should come back down once their resources are not being split between satisfying ASP backers rewards, as well as the regular orders. Once the Etsy store returns, the intention is to stock it with pre-made sabers, where there will be little to no changes allowed, but will ship VERY quickly. I believe when all of this comes together, you will find a lead time between those options that will satisfy.

Thankfully I don't yet have sufficient saber funds. I'm waiting and hoping for this change to come soon (perhaps by summer, maybe summer's end) to get a saber. I'd prefer to not wait that long, but with worrying about grades and Track, I haven't gotten much time to strategize and really see what sabers I want.

Week 13 and unlucky for me! Still only at confirmed. On the upside it has given me time to develop a whole new hobby of building lightsabers. Really can't wait for the real thing though!

So I just bit the bullet and ordered a Tier 3: Champion Weathered Bane with Red 12w+ LED & Crimson Soundfont.
Always loved the look of this unique saber since watching Shameem's HR Giger Alien review on YouTube. Now the long wait begins...!!!  Lucky I have some US hilts to play around with to pass the time

Approaching ten weeks now and trying to not do the rocking back and forth, dribbling, clicking refresh on my orders page every ten minutes thing.
Need to find my zen place man. Need to find my light side calm. I have found new meaning to the phrase "I cannot wait". I literally cannot wait for my 12W Champion Disciple . Maybe... maybe they don't know it's for me? I'm sure if they knew who it was who is waiting, they'd do something about it. Right? |

For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.

The only thing worse than the wait when you get the notification you're in the build queue...is getting a message that they're waiting on parts and it's going to be an extra 2-3 weeks.
Bwaaaaah.

Sorry to hear BZArcher, hopefully it's sooner than that. What do you have on order and when did you get the notification about the parts? |

My tracking code is active now, so I guess it's in the pre-shipment building phase. Kind of curious as to how much longer it'll be now.
At least it'll be warm by the time I get it.  Was in an accident that hurt my neck the other day, so it makes waiting a little easier knowing I can't swing it around just yet anyway.
