I think we can all agree these have been mad times we live in. Up until now there have been only minor supply hiccups. Unfortunately It looks like the CFX sound card may be hard to come by in the coming few months. I am working with Erv and the team on solutions. For now, I will take my sabers out of stock and begin making a few special CFX sabers for sale on May 4th (May The Fourth Be with You).
I will post more info as it becomes available. Thanks again for following my work!

#MayThe4thBeWithYou is almost upon us. As many of your know I usually sell special RTS (Ready To Ship) sabers to celebrate this day. This year I have fewer sabers that are more high-end. Here’s how it will go on Monday May 4th…

1. Starting at approx 10 AM Mountain Time, I will post on the GCS facebook page the special sabers for sale. I will post them one at a time approx each hour. There will be a code with each saber (like AG-2 or something). The first person to email me with that code in the SUBJECT LINE of the email will get the right to purchase the saber. Full price is due within 24 hours or the next person gets it. Email me at madcow.genesis@gmail.com

2. Sometime in the morning I will put on on this website 10 spots for the New Speeder saber design.

3. The Bane Legend auction will start Friday and end in the evening of May 4th.

I’ve been streamlining my systems around what commission jobs to take on in an effort to me fair to those of you who wish to have me design an build you a lightsaber.

1. I will only be open to requests in the first 2 weeks of each quarter. In those two weeks I will decide how many commissions I can handle for those 3 months, and which requests I will take. I’m sorry that I can’t accommodate everyone. If I choose not to take your commission I will explain why and give you some options to continue your search.

2. New sabers for sale will be listed in the For Sale section on this website, the first person to email me and arrange payment wins. The last one sold within 36 hours of being listed. If anyone want a little advanced notice of what will be put up for sale – follow me on Twitter.
