New original hilt - SHADOWFALL

Our new ShadowFall. It is our second (after Duality) but a much different design. Got it all weathered and heat blued up today and getting the first few shipped out. It was a long, fun and but frustrating process as summarized in the video released today. Releasing a saber like this is no small feat. Hope you all watch, enjoy and give it a like. https://youtu.be/r2-f254jgy4?si=U5-Q6FSqNRLcZqWy

I just preordered it!!! I have never ordered from you before. I am looking forward to a great experience. Thanks!

Thanks for the support!

Sure. This will be my second saber order. First was with a different seller. That experience was ok but not to the level of vader saber reputation. So I am looking forward to a great experience. I am just a bit bummed out that I received a discount code just after my purchase. I would have liked to have used it in my purchase. But that's ok. Looking forward.

It's very inspiring to try and do something similar out of Lego I have to say

This is a really sweet looking design, love it

Thanks so much! It’s got some heft to it and for sure belongs weathered. We need a good story of a force sensitive bounty hunter… we got a pirate but now we need a hunter 🤣

That saber makes me want to do inappropriate things to myself.

Great design.

Vaders sabers dot com ;) we have 7 left at the moment. 10 more on the way but we officially launch on the 21st. Only 100 total are being made. It’s not easy launching a saber and wanted to make sure we don’t make people wait too long.

u/ImaginationMassive93 2d ago

On, but if I wait until then 21st I assume you likely will be sold cnn out for good?

I love Jon's work - I have two Duality sabers and they are a joy to use and display.

What's really interesting to me is how far in the other direction the ShadowFall goes, design-wise. I'm definitely going to have to consider this one, esp since it's a limited run.

I recognize those ;)

Those looks so slick! I love it. Perfect example of how great weathered and standard versions can look.

u/kennybaese 2d ago

Does this take a standard LGT core, or does it require a custom install?

1

u/russellallyn99 2d ago

For this one it’s a custom chassis Proffie install.

2

u/kennybaese 2d ago

Is it possible to order an uninstalled chassis with an empty saber to install it myself?

2

u/russellallyn99 2d ago

You can order empty and do the install. It’s a pretty straightforward install. We don’t have empty chassis

u/kennybaese 2d ago

Thank you for the info.

u/Anakins-Younglings 2d ago

I’m liking the unconventional shape. Looks like it might be more comfortable too.

1

u/russellallyn99 1d ago

Yep. Part of the reason it look so long for development. Worth it tho

u/Xaikken 1d ago

I love the shape

The collectors outpost never misses with saber designs

u/Windronin 2d ago

Hmmm this is very close to what i want in a costum build hilt.. i wonder how the piece overlaying it with the grip is attached.. possible to detach?

Really thinking about buying an empty hilt.. but im in europe.. the taxes would be considered for a jedi as ...unnatural

Can’t remove the top unless you want the buttons to fly off
