When they say 8-10 weeks is that meaning 8-10 weeks until its shipped or is it until its built? I am sitting at 10 weeks I believe and haven't received any info on it. Just curious if anyone knows.

The lead time on the saber forge website is usually an estimation of how long it will take for your order to hit the build queue. From what I'm seeing it's taking about 8-12 weeks for orders to start being built. This all depends on parts availability and other factors I'm sure. I do know that thin-neck sabers have had a bit longer lead time lately due to lack of parts but SF has been making strides to try and cut down lead times for the future!

Hope this helps clarify some. If it's been 10 weeks with no status change from confirmed, you can try to send an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and they'll give you an update as soon as possible!

I know that feeling. I ordered Jan 22, making today week 10. I received and email from etsy march 23rd saying my saber hit the shipping stage/a shipping label was printed. So hopefully it will be in my hands in the next 1.5 weeks. Until then, i'll just surf the forum and custom saber facebook page and keep thinking "that will be me very soon"

Once the status of your order will change for "shipped", that will mean your saber is now on the workbench. From that moment, you can count from 5 to 10 business days before it ships. Hang in there buddy, the wait's almost over, and your patience will be rewarded :)!

Is it me, or are the Etsy orders slightly ahead of the standard website orders by about two weeks?

I kind of doubt that. I ordered from etsy thinking/hoping it would be faster (comparing it to my friend's wait time of 15 weeks for his Acolyte but it was ordered just after Thanksgiving. Holiday season plus TFA movie hype definitely affected his order). But from the post I've seen, the lead and total wait times have been the same as the main site orders.

It has been stated (not to insult anyone's intelligence) by the Big Red Knytiri that the ultimate intention for the Etsy shop will be to have a large stock of premade sabers ready for orders to have ridiculously short lead times. People can order their saber with tier, standard or weathered finish, blade length and blade color, and receive it within 1-2 weeks, which is pretty epic.

Again, I've only heard this from Knytiri, and he's not here to confirm or deny anything anymore.

Well when I ordered my saber it said the wait time was 6-8 weeks only after I waited 8 weeks and heard nothing from them was I informed it went to 8-10 weeks. A little frustrating but I understand, but now I am at 10 weeks and have heard nothing. Im about to move out and the first thing I wanted to hang on my wall at my new house was my saber hopefully that can still happen.

Hey hart,
I completely understand. I hope you get it soon and that you post a picture of it on the wall for us here at the forum. The lead times do fluctuate and it is probably longer than normal now as there has been an increase in demand the last 6 months.
I have heard people say they have gotten them very quickly, but this has not been the norm. I think the hardest part for me is the 'not knowing' ... the complete inability of a specific date or arrival. That being said I continue to hear from people about the great product quality, attention to detail, durability, and fun when it finally arrives. The overwhelming majority say its worth the wait.
Best of luck to ya!

Yeah I believe im in the same boat as you, I hate not knowing a specific date. I know it will be well worth the wait. I just want the wait to end, im to impatient sometimes.

I just placed my first order a few days ago, so I've got a very loooong wait. Probably wont see anything until the summer.
