I’d be in, if we don’t get too crazy on the price.
in for one too
updated the interest list.
Please confirm if I got interest from you on facebook.
If you guys can also confirm the quantity I have written down is correct.
IMPORTANT UPDATE
PLEASE READ - -
I'm looking at adjusting my pricing as there are two distinct options available.
This is actually the result of a mistake on my vendor's part while making the boards. They ran out of the material that I had supplied to fill the order and went hunting for more blue stock. They found it, super deep in their warehouse... to use it to finish my order... yet this has created an interesting dialogue between me and them... and in turn means I can offer two 'products' for the time being. I'm trying to split the prices in a way that makes sense for what they're offering and how much it costs me... and the longevity of production for both since the 'old stock' option is limited quantity.
Option 1: $18
'True Blue'.
- modern production board. 1/16" thick w 2oz copper. Blue substrate saturation. This is what the 7chambers FX MoM Hero is getting. I will be able to make more of this in the future if quantity demands.
Option 2: $25
'Old Blue'
- Found, 'old stock' vintage substrate. The hue is VERY similar, but a tad greener/ a single shade darker. The board is actually also a hair thinner, matching the vector board thickness more closely. This will be limited as it was found in deep storage by my manufacturer. Once those old panels run out... it is gone.
Regarding the 'Old Blue'
- FX builds may require some added thickness under the card (like clear tape along the edge) in order to maintain tight friction on most currently available FX hero hilts.
- Static builds should turn out perfectly assuming you are using L stock
Regarding both.
- They have the same exact custom surface traces and custom solder-mask treatment on both sides so from the top you'll really be seeing the same thing. The edges are slightly different.
When Verity Cosplay go about the STATIC run, I will be making and reserving 'Old Blue' boards for that run... as there will be a more limited quantity... but I do anticipate creating extras for people to add into their other sabers.
I'll do comparison photos soon.
HOW TO RESPOND:
Considering this new information, can you update your initial interest post with specific quantity(s) if that has changed for you and I will go through and update the interest list accordingly.

Updated my original post. Would like one of each please.
Okay: here is a *pretty* close color depiction between the two.
True blue up top
Old blue on bottom.
I would like to note that, applying a bit of paste wax on the edge of the true blue will darken it up a bit and give it a nice sheen that resembles Old Blue

I'm still interested in 3 but can I get 3 old blue? Thanks.
List updated: Thanks for the response.
It looks like "old-blue" is the clearly outpacing "true-blue". (I'm not surprised, it's theRPF, haha)
considering that:
General Update 2:
I'm going to cap old blue at 100 for the time being. I'll update the thread as soon as we hit that (if we do)
I want to make sure I have reserves to include in the future STATIC MoM run.
There will be an opportunity to make more if I reserve the remaining old-stock at the factory but won't be able to do that until I have new capital to do so.
I talked with the partners working on the MoM run and I've got approval to begin selling despite wanting to wait until after release.
Just give me some time to determine the best way to do that and I'll update ya'll with how to pay and how shipping will work. Probably sealed/stamped envelopes without tracking unless you want to pay more for that. I need to look at international as well assuming that's a necessity.
I have some shipping supplies but I will need to get more at some point so bear with me when that happens.
I'm probably home the majority of the next few weeks so I'm hoping to get these processed sooner than later for those interested.
Lewis at 7Chambers will be getting the full number for the 7Chambers, Magic of Myth FX Cave Build run on Monday in the UK, so this is the rest of what I will have for the time being. (please don't ask him for extras... I have them haha)

Well, I wasn't going to worry about it... but dammit - old blue for me as well, please 
I’d love an old blue, but at the moment I can’t spare the cash give how things are. Is it likely that old will be available in a couple months when hopefully things have started to get back to normal?
