Dear David:
We have received an updated shipping schedule for our Luke Skywalker "Reveal" Lightsaber from*our manufacturing partner in Asia. They are now scheduled to ship the lightsaber from Asia at the end of October.
The machined*parts are still on schedule per our last update, but the electronics vendor is late in delivering the electronics for the blinking arrows and the glowing crystal. Since summer is "Christmas" for*manufacturing,*unfortunately, 1000 pieces was not on the top of the electronics vendor's "to do" list and as you know, electronics*are the primary components of many toys and consumer products. However, they will be delivered in the next few weeks or so and the*assembly can begin.
We have*received*and approved the final production sample including the electronics. We will be updating our website early next week, including a video of the working*blinking arrows and glowing crystal. Please always check our website for the latest updates. The information in this update can change at any time.
We will contact you when your lightsaber is in stock and ready to ship. At that time, you will be able to select to pay the balance in full or choose our lay-away plan. If you want to make any changes to your billing and/or shipping address, you can also do that by logging in to your account and make the revisions. For credit card changes, that will be done when you receive your notification that your lightsaber is in stock and the next payment is made.
If you know anyone who purchased this lightsaber from one of our authorized retailers, please feel free to pass this update on to them since we do not have the names or e-mail addresses for those who did not purchase directly from our website.
As usual, we thank you for*your patience.
If you have any questions or be of any further assistance, please feel free to e-mail us at
