This thread is to show ORDER Status - if you purchased, then find your name on this list and make sure I have your Pre-Order correct.
I still have Sid 2.0 sabers left to be able to give anyone who wants the buy 2 sabers get a free sid 2.0 promotion. I have about 40% left of what I
am being sent...remember, I really wish I could sell them, but many people are going in 3 ways or 2 ways with others who might only want 1 or not care as much
about the Sid 2.0 - find those people and we can work a 2-way or 3-way deal - Here is the lists - after 3 days of preorders, my hopes were to presell 75 of each saber so we could get the run going...I thought it would take weeks or a month, we went past our goal by double in 3 days. So it looks like this will be a good sized run...if you are seeing this and wondering if you can still get in, you can...pre-ordering is still open by clicking Korbanth.com ? Lets fund these things! (http://www.korbanth.com/2017)
thanks again for letting me work these up for you all - I am glad so many really like them. Duke 2.0 is next along with some other surprises

I'll be picking up a Duke 2.0! When the time comes. If you ever happen to get a Mace Windu in mind, I would be all over that one as well. :grin:
-
I hadn't noticed that the pre-order had gone up for these. I've just put in an order for a Crossguard 2.0 :smiley:
-
Will the cross guard 2.0 have a larger diameter than the first one?The first one looked great,but appeared to be very slim
-
How do you paint the cross guard black and why doesn't it already come this way? Couldn't they use the same black metal material they used for other sabers like the inner core of the owk?

Painting is usually done by 3rd parties with things like this because the crossguard is a hilt with various finished preferred and obtained by various people. Phoenix Props, a renowned prop-making company, has also released a Kylo hilt, and theirs is not finished in black because many prefer to finish them in their own unique style. Black metal is achieved by anodizing or powdercoating, which increases prices. Further, the saber may end up having different coloration than what is depicted in the render, so parts of it could end up being black (like the K4 emitter ended up black).
-
Thanks, any idea where might be a good place to have the cross guard sent to get it painted?
Or alternatively how to do it myself?

Korbanth said there would be an optional black rustic darkening available. He offered this in the CG 1.0, if you take a look at the thread for that run there are pictures.
-
I've scanned through all 54 pages and no pictures with a black crossguard. Maybe they're on photobucket?
Graflex 2.0 saber run- July 7 update last page (https://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=46738.795)
-
It was a thread for the people who preordered the first run. I can't find it right now on my phone. Maybe it was deleted recently? Maybe someone else had pictures, I'll take a look when I get home tonight.
-
Im pretty sure i have the right thread. Its for the crossguard too
-
I think you have the wrong thread.
This one has pics of a weathered version:
Left over Graflex 2.0 and Kylo Crossguard sabers - Feb 10 update (https://www.fx-sabers.com/forum/index.php?topic=48448.0)
-
Thanks! while not exactly what I was hoping for its nice to see a different finish. I'll look into painting it and what might be involved. The Phoenix props one looked amazing.
-
Thanks for finding that, I knew I saw it somewhere. I love the way it looks, with some TLC on the side emitters it will look great.
-
IceSaber you could probably paint it with pretty standard Rustoleum paint in a spray can, otherwise you could look at getting a base black powdercoat and then painting on other colors over it (like the blues and golds and reds on the side emitters).
-
All I know is if can hardly wait to get that SID!!! :grin:
But ah,,,,,,, what's all this buzz about a Duke 2.0???? I just spent $8,000,0000 on a Duke and had a NeoPixel string blade with an igniter 2 put on.... should I have waited?

Hi anyone who wants to split on an order I amin. I want to purchase a LS6
-
I just placed my order for 2 Qty. Cross guard 2.0's and 1 Free SID. If you could please add my name and order to the list Randy.
Thank you for making these amazing hilts!
Psab
-
Was ready to place order via your site,but it says your account was suspended.If we order from TCSS do we still get the free hilt if we order two?
-
my site is fixed, someone tried to hack it and it got hung up..
Korbanth.com ? Your home of the Saber (http://www.korbanth.com) is back up, and in the upper area of the screen where is says 2017 new saber run, is where you can preorder the
Crossguard 2.0 or the LS6-Reveal-Gullwing and I have only 40 left of the free SID 2.0 to give away with any 2 saber purchase

Randy these look phenomenal!
You won't see my name on the list but I'm in :). Combining resources with friends to grab one of the new crossgaurds, can't wait!
Hey Icesaber, you can chemically get a cool finish like that really easy. I've started it on my kylo 1.0... that build (personal) got WAY back burnered cause I'm doing a lot of work for people. Depending how detailed you wanted it- could take some time but it's not hard- only thing you'd need would be a piece of sanding sponge/ paper/ etc, a bottle of aluminum blackener, and a bottle of gun blue (like maybe $10 each). With the gun blue especially, it can do some interesting things depending on the alloy- cast aluminum is diff than the machined stock usually- you can get a really nice finish on it. Like vintage gun barrel- deep 'blueing' effect and you can even get that beautiful orange/ bronze/ rust colour that you sometimes see splashed around the quillions.
I have a few pics of what I've barely started but I don't think this is the place really- I'll get a thread up soon'ish.
-
Thanks. I'll look those bits up.
-
Already ordered mine, looking forward to meeting them

The preorders continue - Since April 14th - Many saber fans have provided their pre-payment and bought into the run for these cool sabers coming to me
in just 3-4 more months...
here is the stats
Crossguard 2.0 saber - I still have about 40+ preorder slots left before I will have sold out my 2017 batch. They can make me more, but I wont get the encore batch until April 2018...and depending on the need, I might not place an order unless there are enough people.
LS6-Reveal-Gullwing - is basically the same as above, except 48 sabers are still left in the run that you can preorder.
Sid 2.0 - I'm being given only 250 free ones, and all of those have been allocated so I wont have any more to give for free with purchase, but I will have 100 of them for purchase if anyone wants to do that. (reach out to me privately if you are interested)
A few announcements - I have added a removable crystal chamber that will insert into both crossguard 2.0 and LS6-reveal that will give it some life, normally a $75.00 add on peice, but now is free for anyones pre-order purchase...this crystal chamber is a plug that slides into either saber and when you open up the reveal area, the crystal is shown, and with a touch of a finger, it will light up and pulse...you can change from blue, to green to red...I want to show pictures, but I need to wait until closer to august to show a final version, but it will knock your socks off.
So go to Korbanth.com ? Your home of the Saber (http://www.korbanth.com) if you still want to preorder any of the product coming soon. My thoughts are, I will be completely sold out in next few months, or well before the product comes in. Thank you again for allowing me to serve your saber needs

Will the crystal reveal chamber come with pre-orders that have been purchased through tcss? or exclusively to Korbanth pre-orders?
-
If I pre-order (a LS6) now, will I get one of those crystal chambers, too, or are those only for those who already have pre-ordered?
-
yes, anyone who continues to preorder with me at Korbanth.com ? Your home of the Saber (http://www.korbanth.com) or TCSS - will get the reveal crystal peice
-
yes, anyone who continues to preorder with me at Korbanth.com ? Your home of the Saber (http://www.korbanth.com) or TCSS - will get the reveal crystal peice
Perfect, thanks for the clarification :azn: !
*Disappears in direction of pre-order page*
-

Nice.Thats a great deal.Im gonna order mine (LS6 & CG 2.0) from TCSS next week.Thanks to Korbanth for offering all this stuff.Every Korbanth hilt Ive bought has been great.Ive currently purchased the K4,MPP 2.0 and Graflex 2.0 and all are great quality.So hopefully people will continue to purchase these,so Randy can keep putting stuff out ;)
-
Just to clarify, both myself Korbanth.com ? Your home of the Saber (http://www.korbanth.com) and Tim over at The Custom Saber Shop (http://www.thecustomsabershop.com) will be offering the same product at the same priceing - I have run out of my promotion of buy any 2 of the new sabers and get a free Sid 2.0 saber, but tim still has those promotional sabers.
so simply you can still buy from me whatever you want on the Crossguards 2.0 and LS6-Reveal-Gullwing saber, but I have no longer any of the promotional free sid saber. I will however have about 100 to sell for $225 each if you want to purchase one, to secure your spot.

Can I update my order to:
Luke LS6 Gullwing
Crossguard 2.0
Free Sid 2.0
Thanks, Nathan A.

In the start of this thread, I tried to keep up with a list of people who've bought what, but when this list is now over 700-800 people, it just is hard to manage openly
so I have all my orders safely recorded in a spreadsheet and back it up every week, so once the sabers come in, late next month or so - I'll know when you start getting emails to pay your postage that means I will be making the postage labels and preparing for palettes of cool product, so the Korbanth 2017 run is nearing the end...
Thanks for the 700-800 people who've put their trust/faith in me
-
Spreadsheets are great. I practically organise everything using them. It takes some tweaking to maximise it's use but it can be a great tool. Looking forward to the sabers.
-
Randy, you mentioned a weathered option on the Cross guard 2.0. Will you have pics of this option soon and how long do we have to request this prior to your shipping them out?

Got the payment email today for the shipping of this run, and wanted to ask a question if there will be any finishing options for the Crossguard 2.0 and Sid 2.0? I know it was discussed prior and sorry if it has already been answered.

Also received shipping email but haven't paid yet. Wanted clarification on finishing options(especially for the crossguard) before these get shipped out.
-
Spoke with Randy this morning and he will have details on finish options in the next week or 2. I went ahead and sent my shipping payment since I was having him hold till all 3 are in anyhow. Hope the info helps.
-
Hello.
I hope I'm not late to the party. I just ordered the LS6-REVEAL-GULLWING SABER in an utter frenzy after seeing The Last Jedi today ^~^"
-
Is the final LS6 going to have that seam down the middle for the doors and those screws? :/
-
It looks like the seam would be behind the clamp ring and the control box. Just the way it looks to me.

Hi Randy, when you can, please post a pic of the new Cross Guard 2.0, with weathering option.
Thank you.
