One question that I do have is if the sabers listed on Etsy could quite possibly be, in some cases, sabers assembled from ASP parts?
*leans back in chair to think*Yes and no. Some Elite builds like the Epoch are designed differently (emitter, switch, and body are different than ASP). Pommels are pommels whether ASP or Elite and some emitters don't have any noticeable differences. I do suspect that each Elite hilt has a prescribed threading length that minimizes the sanding they have to do to align all the parts up. I have a hard time imagining that they would want to swap parts around (other than pommels) between ASP and Elite, there are too many subtle differences. |

Loooove that gunmetal hilt, but hate that mini switch. That shattering looks great too; more natural looking than a lot of what I've seen.

I've been noticing that switch on a lot of the new sabers. Not o big fan of the look of it much like the kill key. |

There's a "stunted graflex pin" switch that looks alright, but this target one looks a bit chintzy. The lit switches look generally better IMO.

Actually it does. The Electronics Selection Tab shows the option of Hero RGBA (dropbox) however what appears confusing is there is only single colour selection available for Blade Colour where formerly the procedure was to select RGBA for both Blade1 and Blade2 Colour.

But when you select that option on the main site, the price increases to 770 |

Agreed. I don't have the answer for this discrepancy. The $20 difference between Main Site and Etsy is (as I referenced above) the absence of selecting RGBA for both Blade Colours or just to select for that matter. This isn't a Hilt I considered so didn't explore possibilities further, so your conclusions drawn will be as good as mine. It seems unlikely (but not impossible) that the Etsy Listing would still provide you with a Spark Color2 Board but limit you to a dedicated Colour instead of Multi. I will presume that the Etsy Listing has an error based that the Templar return appeared on Main Site first (after the Etsy hiatus and SF Price increases).

And this is why I didn't go ham wild. Emailed Etsy after 5 working days preship/7 days after order with no movement, asked if there was a delay or a glitch, got this:
Our records show it was completed as expected and was handed off to USPS on Friday 6/17/16. However, USPS is not showing any movement on this package. We have opened an investigation with USPS.
That said, we will not make you wait longer, and have put a new saber into production for you. We will complete the replacement saber today and have it shipped out by tomorrow. Your new USPS tracking number will be: I will also be adding a free saber stand to your package as compensation for the unexpected delay. We apologize for this situation, and look forward to getting this into your hands shortly. Thank you for your understanding, and may the Forge be with you!

Glad to hear that it got resolved really easily! Oddly enough, I'm considering the Etsy route for some really basic stuff for some other people if I'm as pleased as it seems I should be with the Main Site order.

I wanted to order 3 regular blades (two 26" for ultrasaber initiate hilts and one 32" for a consular 12w yellow). The day blades would be great for the initiate hilts as I have no idea what the wattage is for the LED's but they're not as bright as my SF hilts. But I think the consular would be fine with a standard v4 blade. Two days before I have the money for 3 standard blades, they're sold out and the day blades are added...
In an effort to save on shipping, I'll wait a few more days to see if the standard hilts are added again. |

So I heard back from saberforge on the Etsy thing for anyone in the same boat. Honestly, I really appreciate the detailed reply. Kudos to them.
Hello! I'm very sorry for the frustration this has caused you. The reason we cannot use Etsy stock to fulfill main site orders is because we are required by Etsy to keep the two inventories separate. We had to list a specific amount of hilts on Etsy, and those have to be sold through Etsy. We are not able to take from Etsy inventory for your order. Our main site is completely separate, and has a different lead time. If you would like us to cancel your order so you can place a new one through Etsy, we will be happy to do so. Etsy orders are 3-5 business days to complete, not including shipping time.
May the Forge be with you! Melissa A contractual obligation with Etsy makes perfect sense, and explains why they can't mix the inventory. The more you know

I thank you with updating your correspondence exchange. What's your decision moving forward specific to your circumstance and Order? You shared that SFCS offered you the option to cancel from Main Site and re-Order from Etsy in attempts for quicker delivery. Will this be your action or given the time that has passed already (7/8Weeks IIRC) are you staying?

given that I've seen reports of current wait times reaching upwards of 14 weeks, and the fact that I would really like to have the saber in time for a convention in a month, I decided to cancel and reorder through Etsy. Just waiting for the funds to came back! |

That seems to be the place to go for stands. But who knows, maybe they'll have some batches of ready-made stands to sell through etsy. |

PSA: Prodigal Son V1 (Standard Finish) has been added to Etsy's Lineup. If you've Ordered one recently and your Status remains on 'Confirmed' and hasn't changed to 'Shipped', an option may be available to you for sooner delivery.

What's the difference between the V1 and the V2? Asking for purely academic reasons since it isn't like I'm extremely tempted to order another saber at the second (please don't see through my lie). |

V1 is standard finish(polished chrome look)
V2 is weathered finish (worn black anodizing) |
