I'm in the UK but am originally from the USA. I know what you mean with the shipping costs. Phil who owns and runs SF seems very accommodating to his customers. I think in time they will catch up with the demand. One thing that puzzles me though is the number of new hilts coming out. I am all for new products and they look awesome but won't these new additions actually slow down production rates? I'm no expert but if turn around time on the 10-15 hilts they offer now is 8-10wks , what will it be the turn around time when they have 25+ hilts to decide from. It's only logical more time would be needed to address the new designs. Anyway I don't mind the wait if the product is quality. And that is the only thing I keep hearing about SF "Quality "
The way I see it is once Phil has enough of the new hilt design to release to the market at once, then they can be released and added to the shipping wait time. Ordering off of Etsy helps with the wait, but I'm at 6 weeks now ordering off the website. Any way you look at it, I believe it's worth the wait, but the day it shows up is the day I scream like a little girl with excitement.

Looks a lot better that what i imagined, Darth! When I first heard of your idea I wasn't so sure it would look too good, but it actually looks good now that I see it!

I ordered my first saber about three weeks or so ago. I assume it will take the full 8-10 weeks, but that's ok. I would rather the job be done well than just have something slapped together for time. I have heard a lot of good things about saberforge and the quality of the workmanship put into their product, that's why I chose to purchase my first saber from them. Yeah, I am excited and can't wait to see my Monarch, but that's all part of the thrill of collecting and the joy of being a part of the Star Wars and sci fi experience.
p.s. I took advantage of that 15% off deal and purchased an infinity blade. Just got it in Yesterday. |

Sounds awesome. That Monarch is gorgeous. I need to buy some new blades, too... I did just get a brass blade plug yesterday, though. And it's awesome.
I'm only 4 weeks into my new saber wait. It's always hard to wait for stuff... |
