My gut says "no" with all the shenanigans going on (ASP, baby, training, queues, etc.).

I was thinking that, but there's no harm in asking either way ha hopefully someone more knowledgeable can give a definite answer I'm like halfway through a wait at the moment and all I can think about is getting another one. |

I'm holding a "just in case" stash just to be on the safe side

There won't be; we are entirely focused on expansion and starting the ASP. So no sales until next year.

Yeah, just going to venture a guess that they already have so much business, they are working hard at meeting demands via expansion etc. So, I would much rather them continue that effort, and bring lead times down, than generate even higher demand with a sale. Especially at this time of year when demand would be higher due to Christmas, and when you throw the opening of "The Force Awakens" in the mix, it just goes through the roof.
So, just keep on with the facilities/personnel improvements, and know that I will be taking advantage of the improved process soon! |

Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

Sure but aren't we going to have Rogue One next year around the same period? Won't that be another reason for the demand to go through the roof? |

However, their expanded facilities should be fully staffed, trained, and pumping out sabers at a frantic pace by then. So, they will be better able to meet that increased demand.

I had heard the Fett one was dropped because Disney deemed it too complicated to make Boba a likable character considering he's ruthless and would basically kill anyone for the right amount of money.
Not exactly values Disney wants to push forward

Yeah, what was already stated. Tho next year should also be (comparably) busy, we do suspect the market will even down from the frantic shark-like feeding frenzy it is currently, and we will have Etsy down to a 1-2 week lead time and be keeping it there, and the Main site should be down around 4-6, and be kept there, and ASP... well. I'm not sure what those lead times are going to be like. I know what our goals are, but first we're going to have to see what kind of demand starts rolling in once it releases to see what else we need to do it keep it there.
Phil has personally stated this is the LAST year lead times will be a problem for SF; we're deadset on getting lead times cut down to normal margins and doing away with the backlog. |

I look forward to seeing that post announcing those goals have been reached...and I know they will be. I love being a SF customer, and a part of this community!

And besides, I don't have any more money. I don't need a deal dangled in front of me like a carrot.

Don't forget Episode VIII follow Rouge One by only about five months, so I would not be surprised if the orders spiked round this time next year--especially if Episode VII is everything we all hope it will be. Though there are two other factors to take into account as Kyntiri has mentioned, 1. more trained staff at SF by that time and 2. the lack of the ASP thing happening at the same time.
Silly me, I had to drop my order at SF busiest time ever---I seem to have a knack for knowing when to order things while companies are having insane rushes on their products. I did at least just finally get the App controlled BB-8 I ordered for my wife. She thinks he is so cute and that took a bit of the edge off of me buying two sabers.
