The problem I face when deciding which sabers to make is considering the popularity of a hilt. I think Vaders EP3 saber is ok, and its nice they made one that never got used, and so it was kinda silly to even make it look different, but even though I'd sell maybe 40-50 of this saber, I'd be stuck with a few hundred that I couldnt really find homes for...
my minimums now at my machine shop are 250 of each, so if they'd allow me to just make 50 of 1 item, I would but making 250 of the EP3 Vader saber would just be a disaster for me, and 50 happy people....it would lock up my funds so that I couldnt bring the ones that people really want, like Duke 2.0, MW3 2.0, or AOTC-Anakin, or even new models we dont know about coming soon....
Thats the explanation, and it does not make sense to everyone, but there is a balance when it comes to getting cool product made for the benefit of others...and for you...all
