Hey everyone!

I'm new to saber collecting, and I'm extremely excited as I just ordered a standard 12W+ Champion edition Prodigal Son. Now when I ordered my saber just a bit over 4 weeks ago, I got an email with confirmation saying the wait time was 12-14 weeks. I then emailed saberforge asking what the wait time would be just in case, and they told me it was 6-8 weeks. Now I'm not too sure what to expect. In just a few weeks, or maybe even 2 more months? Any advice on when I should be expecting it? I am so psyched!!

Thanks for any help you guys can give me!!

Current wait times have come down to 6-8 weeks, so you should be seeing it sooner than later.
Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

I will say this, the first time you are waiting for a SF saber will drive you insane. Just keep yourself busy, and it will arrive to you in no time :)

Yea the first one is rough. However the 2nd one is easy since you have the first one to play with B)

And that's why I'm glad to have my Ultrasabers for when I finally order my Saberforge!

Did you PayPal them an extra $25 for the 12W+ upgrade? I only ask because I ordered a Prodigal Son a week ago after being told that all new 12W orders would be automatically upgraded to 12W+, but was recently told that 12W+ is currently unavailable, and that there is no guarantee I will get 12W+ with my order. If you paid extra for it, I would send them a message just to ensure that you get the upgrade you paid for. All that said the Prodigal Son is a great looking saber. It's always been one of my favorites, right up there with the OG Graflex.

Alright, thanks everyone that helps a ton. I can't wait, Luke's ROTJ saber has always been my favorite.

Well I actually didn't pay any extra I had just heard what you heard about how all 12W are now 12W+. If it is unavailable, that will be a bit of a let down but I can get over it because of how awesome the prodigal son is.

LSkywalker3 i too ordered a prodigal son around the same time you did. I emailed saberforge a couple of weeks ago inquiring about the 12w+ upgrade and they told me that if you chose the 12w option for $30 when you ordered it it will include the 12w+......i hope the 12w+ is not currently unavailable.

I'm with you DK44. I payed $30 for the 12W option so I really hope that what they said is true.

So many conflicting reports. They've said that you can't pay them extra by PayPal for any customization anymore as PayPal had some kind of problem with it. They also said that all 12w are now 12w+ automatically. But then someone said they emailed support and said that that wasn't the case. It's all very confusing.
