Putting in my weekly-ish wish for the parts and stuff, but I'd also like to make another small request -
Round Caps - you know:
https://ultrasabers.com/product/round-cap/These? Between the kids and myself, we're starting to accumulate quite a few blades. We're also starting to set up displays and stands and stuff, which means the blades are going to be coming off.
I would like to see the Round Caps offered in maybe 5 or 6 different colors. For us, that would make it easy for me and the kids to determine which blades belong to who and especially which blades are cut for thin neck and which are not. (This isn't a problem for me, but the boys tend to not pay as close of attention.)
I've been using tape with markings using a sharpy on the "Round Caps" so far, but it's kind of janky looking.

More love for DIY
1) Pricing on parts.
Example a cart with 1x buckpuck, 2x batteries, an illuminated AV switch, LED Module (basic, not TRI, no FOC), the battery/speaker holder w/speaker, and an Obsidian v4 sound card comes out to $227.
A Dark Apprentice v4 w/buckpuck (batteries only), illuminated AV switch, and Obsidian v4 soundboard comes out to $235.
That’s only $10 difference and includes a hilt, all wired up and ready to go. And it doesn’t include any discounts.
I would just like to see the pricing on parts be a little more reasonable where doing it yourself can actually save someone some money.
2) That being said –
I’d love to see DIY kits. Board, Buckpuck, Batteries all wired up and using JST connectors or some other quick connect for EZ install and modular use (can be easily removed and installed into any hilt). All served up in a nice neat easy to install and remove little chassis.
Maybe even a complete 4 piece kit, with switch and LED. Choose your switch, LED color and holder type.
Even better, these kits offered for Obsidian v3, v4, AND DIAMOND.
I know all of this can be done DIY, but let’s make it easy. Wink
3) if number 2 could be a reality, offer empty hilts with the switch installed with the wires and connector so that if we had a kit mentioned in (2), we can unbox, plug it together, and get at it.
4) MORE PARTS, MORE PARTS, MORE PARTS - More MHS bodies, pommels, and emitters!
5)
Include parts/electronics in sales.
