Limited Run Accurate RotJ Force Pike - Weapon of the Emperor's Royal Guard

This looks fantastic. When are you looking to close the pre-order window?

Just letting it ride at the moment, plan is when we get enough sign ups I'll give the factory the go ahead and probably when I can see a prototype I'll set a closing date for the pre-order. There will be defnitely be some extra pikes available after the run but likely not at the pre-order price :)

I posted on a few groups/boards where I'm member on, I know there are RPF members there who might have missed your thread.

Hey Tom, if there is still room on the list, I’d love to buy one, and possibly another after I receive the first(if that is possible)...pm me, and I’ll paypal you the $100 deposit...

Certainly there's room! I'm intending to have some extras made so getting a second one after the first is a possibility for sure :) PM incoming
 
Well guys I have some news. The machine shop have decided, now, to kick up a fuss about the steel hob being too difficult to machine and want to do a higher quantity.

I have a quote from another machine shop and they have no problem with any of it and are ready to go. Downside is they are more expensive and the current numbers mean I would be making these at a loss.

I see two realistic options, one is to set the final pre-order price at $225 and I can give the factory the go ahead and get things moving on manufacturing. This would be $25 over my original price estimate. Not much but I understand it could be frustrating for some of you.
The second option is to continue to wait on pre-order sign ups and see how things go. Obviously this would mean the timeline for getting these into your hands shifts by an unknown amount.

I'll be sending this info out as an email to those who have paid deposits so I can get your thoughts on our options :)
 
I’m ok with an extra $25.

I certainly don’t want you to take a loss. And the fact that the other vendor has an unknown ETA.
 
Option one. I'm totally fine with another $25 to switch to a shop that isn't going to jerk you around like that.
they should lose your business
