Hey guys
does anyone know if the Grandmaster is coming back? It's another one of those hilts that I missed out on and would really like to add this to my collection. Missed the Bane before Christmas but now it's back I'm ordering one on Monday Got the Arbiter on order, ordering the Bane and plan to buy the Chosen when it's released and 2 ASP hilts to make a staff that I intend on naming "The Twins" |

I'd love to see that, too. I'm not as big into non-canon character sabers, but Satele's lightsaber is like a character unto itself.

The last I heard was that it was extraordinarily complex to manufacture, and that it was a design that was being "vaulted" after the initial sell of stock. There could have been later word that I missed, or it could have changed, but that is where my understanding currently sits.

It was pretty ridiculously detailed, so I'd understand.

I think the Grandmaster was the only one of the the limited run sabers that hasn't either had at least one restock and/or been integrated into ASP. Someone point out if I missed any:

Interesting about the Grandmaster (costly to make, complex etc.) and if it does not return, I think it has all the qualities to make it a SF rare collectible.

And, when you add the etching that was one of the defining features of Satele's saber (which some of the owners have had done, and turned out VERY well), it would become even more collectible/valuable!

I also wish the Grandmaster would do an encore. Wanted it soooo bad when it was around but didn't have the funds to make it happen. If it returns hopefully I'll be better prepared.

I saw one for sale recently on the Custom Saber Owners Facebook page. I believe it was just the hilt, with no electronics. I have not checked to see if it is still there, but you might want to look into it. It was a single hilt, so no staff possibilities.

That one sold. I would have snatched it up, but I did not have the money to spare at the time. I really hope there is another run in the future. Amazing Saber!

No matter what happens now, you shouldn't be afraid. Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.

@Jaden Korr
What's your understanding of Vengeance and its inclusion in that list of yours? Remaining hopeful and optimistic Vengeance & GrandMaster graces us with their respective presence. |

Thanks for the reply guys, most helpful. It's a shame it might not be coming back, I too didn't have the funds when it was available (halfway through building a PC at the time!)' May have to opt for a Reborn DT instead, like the Bane I'm ordering tomorrow it'll be just the hilt then add electronics later when the ASP is launched.

The Justicar was an older design that has been retired. |

The Justicar was an older design that has been retired. You never know. Sometimes things return in a redesigned form with the same name, and they typically encompass the "spirit" of of the original in design. Since they no longer telegraph their upcoming releases, from this point on, anything that comes out will be a nice surprise. Granted, there are a few left on the list of sabers that were pre-announced, and they will likely finish that list, but we don't have any idea when that might be either. |

Hi Thorngren,
Here are a couple of pics posted in 2012 of a purple Justicar I hope these help you, I got them from another forum (did a Google search then went spying!) For Tyeth ps If these pics are wrong then let me know but were described as a Justicar. |

Ya know if ya really wanted one I don't think it would be too hard to ask Justin and the customs shop when they reopen to new commissions. If they made it once I'm sure it would be possible to do so again just might cost a bit more that way.
Doesn't hurt to ask...
