Beautiful craftsmanship. I wasn't considering this saber at first... now that little temptation devil is on my right shoulder whispering in my ear... may not be able to hold out until the Count! but at the rate these guys are releasing sabers this summer, the wait may not be that long. Keep up the good work SF!

Does the new grandmaster REPLACE the old grandmaster? or is this a limited run?
I really want to get staff of it, but I can't for a month or 2 |

the light and dark side are two sides at the same coin
to walk between both is what it means to be an Rogue jedi |

Yes, the old Grandmaster design is being retired from my understanding, as it has not been a very popular hilt design. This is meant to possibly replace that design, depending on market turnout, AND.... If SF can lower the cost to produce these hilts. You may have noticed that the price for these is about $50 higher than other elite hilts. That is because of the amount of detailing and hand-work that has to be done to each hilt to assemble and finish it. So, on that note, Jordan Moll, who many of you know as the advance saber review guy, has said that this is IT. These are the only hilts SF will produce at this time. It's important to note that the design will always be in the vault, and they could bring it back later on if they figure out a more cost effective way to keep the design, or public opinion may sway them to make another run of these sabers. At the moment tho, this is it. This is what we have, so get em while you can! |

If something is in the vault, is it possible to, I dunno, pay extra or something to get it? lol There;s no chance in hell I'll be able to afford even the empty pair of initiates before they run out

I don't think so, cause they wouldn't have any of the parts/pieces available to build it. But that would definitely be a question to ask of SF directly... they may have something they could do that I'm just not aware of, lol.
My hope is that they'll end up doing at least one more, maybe even a couple more runs, since this one is pretty small (75 hilts in total, 50 of those being in staffs and 25 solos) because I really really want one myself and don't have any saber money just yet

I'm hoping too haha
 Because I have 2 consulars (1 warrior, 1 champion) 12w+ Cyan on the way with a coupler I was planning to get the grandmaster 1 warrior 1 champion in indigo or yellow and then when they arrived swap out the LED's with the consulars but after seeing the price I won't be able to afford that for a LONG time lol. It's £300 for 2 empty hilts. I'd ask to have my order swapped to grandmasters but the consulars came to £380 or so which would leave me with just the empty hilts and I'm after a usable staff right now |

I have a feeling this one will end up being very popular (how could it not be!), and there will be further runs, or other accommodations.
How do I know this? Do I have the inside track on salacious tidbits of information too which I alone am privy? No, far from it. However, just as it is with the cross-guard sabers (which also cost more due to the design), I there will always be folks out there willing to pay a little more for that kind of craftsmanship and detail. Also, as we all know, SF is a business. What does a business do to be successful? They supply what their customers want! If enough customers want this, they will respond. 'Tis logical! |

Imagine what you will know tomorrow....
