Greetings - once current run of MPP 2.0, DV6, OWK, K4, and DM1 wraps up soon. I am looking towards next year. Confirmed are LS6-V1-Hero-Reveal and considering the Revisit to Crossguard 2.0 with lots of changes.- possibly upgrades are 1 inch main blade, larger internal size, straight side quillions, has the damage/wires...just better in many ways to version 1.0 - hoping to start these in March of next year to be ready end of the summer.
These are just preliminary images, this is not sign up thread but interest thread, if I can get 75-100 interested, we'll make them

and like I say - my first priority now is filling all pre-orders for the 2016 current run, we will be finishing those before doing new runs, this is just to see if there is enough demand for next year...for some cool new product.

The screen accuracy looks like it's getting a major bump! Very interested.
-
I'm in
-
It would be awesome if it had that exposed broken piece where the wire comes out of..and some of that detail in the crack.. I am in either way!
-
I am interested too, but first let's see current run how it ends.
-
looks like lots of people are on board with this one. but this is not going to happen until Q1 of next year...and only once the current run of 5 units are all shipped and that run is concluded...
so the Crossguard revealed 2.0 and LS6-V1/V2 reveal sabers are part of next years line up.
so keep on letting me know if your interested, I can only do the run if we get 75+ people lined up to help me bring this to reality. Also, these are prelim, and lots can change...so prototype is the word of the day..."work in progress" but it looks like you like what you see so far?

Hi, I'm new to the hobby, will this be black like the movie prop? Or do I need to paint/weather it myself?
Cheers!
-
Definitely keen on you're upcoming hilts
-

Cheers!
The last ones came white, so I assume this one will as well.
-
The machine shop in China just makes the product in what looks like unpolished metal, so I have a method using a chemical process that turns in the rustic black-ish look, for a very small optional fee. MORE on that later...
-
Count me as intrigued
-
Interested in Crossguard weathered!!!
-
So next years projects/runs are looking like Crossguard 2.0, LS6 V1 & V2 and SID 2.0 and Duke 2.0?!?!
-
I'm definitely interested.
-
Count me as interested/in if the run happens.
-
So next years projects/runs are looking like Crossguard 2.0, LS6 V1 & V2 and SID 2.0 and Duke 2.0?!?!
yes, it does....the only thing that could bump Sid 2.0 and Duke 2.0 would be if we see any new sabers coming from the Dec 2017 movie coming out...I think brand new sabers appeal more than the older sid/duke versions, but we'll just have to see

We'll probably through Sid2.0 in with two toned powder coating, and adding a LS6-V1-Hero saber, along with a fourth SURPRISE saber never done before, that will make you pee your pants...but I cant reveal it until FALL...
Does that mean that the fourth surprise saber that you mentioned previously is the Crossguard 2.0?!
-
Interested!!!!!
-
Very interested
-
Definitely interested in this! Sign me up!

SO much interrested :)
-
I'm interested in one!
-
Ok, I am still filling orders from the current run - MPP 2.0 / DV6 / OWK / K4 and DM1 - but while I wait for them to arrive so I can send them all out and my run is then complete, I can at least do some speculating on the newer runs
I see there is a lot of interested people who want to get in on the Crossguard 2.0 - so we WILL be making these available, and I wish I knew a price now, but unfortunately, we were not able to share our designs with our friends in china before they went on Chinese new years, so we wont have a price until March, but we've learned a lot since working with them, and many of the things that caused delays in past runs, are now fixed, and so things will go more smoothly.
Crossguard 1.0 was $275, so my goal is to try to keep pricing at least fairly close to that so we should not have to go higher.
The participation will need to be fairly high as in order to make this run live, we need a fair number of saberists who want to join into the run.
But the Good NEWS, we will make this and it will be in our hands in the Sept/Oct time frame. We'll open up pre-purchases in March, so please save up and if you are interested in multiples, we can arrange special pricing.
The goal or reason I want to make a new Crossguard 2.0 is because 1.0 was a great success, but so many things could have been done differently, so its like we get a second chance to do it better and much more accurate. So many who own 1.0 - will want to replace theirs with this 2.0 model, and those who are newer to the saber hobby who missed out on the crossguard 1.0 run, can now join in and have a nice hilt for the STAR WARS EPISODE 8 - The Last Jedi premiere in Dec. -
So in 6 weeks, I'll present a price and features and you can add one to your collection - Thank you again for letting me have the opportunity to serve the saber community.

Really looking forward to this hilt Randy, as well as the LS6. Thanks for bringing us all these lovely sabers.
-
put me on the list

Very interested in one, possibly two Crossguard 2.0s. Fingers crossed for a fall release. Definitely want one for Episode 8.
-
Interested! put me down for two.
-
I'd be interested in one

definitely interested

I seem to have enough interested people now. Again, this run for the Crossguard 2.0 is going to be much like a crowd funded saber run, where you help me make this item possible by your purchases, I need 65 people to purchase, and then from there, I will kick in the rest of the funds that allow me to place the funds down to get the project off the ground. If people purchase and we don't hit the required amount, then the funds are returned, but based on the interest here and a few other places, it looks like we have over 100+ people who want this newer and more accurate Crossguard 2.0 saber hilt.
The goal is to get these into our hands within six months of starting the saber run. So I will make a list soon of all those who said they would participate. I don't have a price yet, but I am anticipating it costing pretty close to what the last Crossguard cost. $275-$295 range...
so I'll start collecting payments once I started a new thread revealing the pricing structure...probably towards end of this month
-
+1 from me for a Crossguard 2.0 (I mentioned this interest in another thread).
+2 from me on Sidious 2.0
+1 or +2 from me on Count Dooku 2.0
-
I can't wait to see how these turn out. Korbanth has great hilts!
If this new version will have the capacity to be able to withstand full contact dueling, then I am definitely in.
Also interested to know if these will have a functional belt clip included.
-
I am interested!
