RandomSabers has closed off orders for 2 years. I found this new saber on Parks' site yesterday. I like it better than his other designs. Didn't realize it's association with Quilan-Vos (I don't read EU) initially. I thought it looked a bit like Qui-Gon's turned upside down.
Anyone actually have it yet?

Well, I ordered the Q-V! It won't be here for D*C as delivery is estimated at 8-10 weeks. I've delayed for years, so a few weeks more is fine.

Yeah, Ryan stopped taking new orders last month. It'll take him about 2 years to complete the current orders he has now. After that, he doesn't forsee making any more Good thing I got in my order about 14 months ago, my saber should be ready by the end of this month!

At the 12 week mark ("please allow 8-10 weeks for delivery") I emailed Parks about my QV. Received an almost immediate response that it was shipped this week and the delay was waiting for more green blades. It'd be ever so good to have it in time for Halloween. The porch decor this year is Star Wars!

The Parks QV arrived today. I ordered it Aug 5th. Here are photos: public.fotki.com/Kait/star_wars/parks-qv-/It does seem very bright. It was dark by the time I arrived home with it. It will be several days before I can see how well it shows up in daylight (I live very far north and I leave for work in the dark and it is nearly dark by the time I get home). The hilt is excellent. Well made and it fits my (small) hands well. I'm just a bit concerned that the switch seems a little flakey. It won't always turn on or off when depressed yet when I just graze the red knob with my finger it will sometimes flicker. the switch is one that is depressed with the red knob. The Parks I've handled before have a blade that's held in by a thumbscrew. This one "clicks" in place and there is no screw. If waved forcefully, the blade wobbles. I don't think I'd want to duel very much with it. My friend here who has 4 Parks really can hit hard with them. I don't know that this would take it.
