Doesn't your blade hold it tight?

The thing on my wish list is a set screw for the LED assy. to keep it from rattling around in the emitter.
What model do you have? |

I have the Sentinel LE v4. I'm not saying i'm not happy as hell with it but I don't think you should need to force it into place and use the blade to hold it in place. if it moves this can cause flexing in the wires attached to the LED. The more the wires move the more likely you are to have issues with the connections or getting a wire pinched. Maybe it's a non issue but I have an electronics degree and did board level work for years. It's just a possibility that could be eliminated with a 1/4-20 set screw.

That would actually be a cool idea. How about a smaller size crossguard saber of some kind? Like either Sentinel or Dominix V4 variant type thing. Just an idea though

I would suppose, if you're careful, you could pop the MLS out and drill and tap another hole where you want it. But I think that kind of mod voids the warranty. |

Meh.. Not too concerned about the warranty. It's nice they have one but it's a stunt saber so it's just an LED, battery, switch and some wire. If I ever pop the LED or anything I'll probably just do the work myself. And a set screw shouldn't do anything to the structural integrity of the emitter.

The LED actually lower than the emitter, like down in the neck. There should be just enough wire to get it out the emitter, or at least out of the way. Then to put it back, I recommend pulling the battery harness out the end keep the wires out of the way while reinserting. |

Not sure if this has been suggested yet (tho I'm sure it has been) but I'd really like it if they made an LE hilt option that has black where there is gold. I'd be all in for that!

I like that idea. Reverse color contrast. But how about a more sorta accurate Anakin ATOC hilt done? I know the Prophecy is close but that would be a cool one to do too though =]

Kinda like they offer 2 types of CE, normally. Like in the case of the Manticore or Monarch, the CE is both Silver or Nickel, and you choose what you want. Only you'd be able to choose LE1, LE2, LE3 depending on how many options they offers. I wouldn't mind an Apprentice LE in red.  |

Maybe they could make a "Crimson Apprentice" for Christmas or something and see how it sells? |

Staggered activation! After seeing the Kylo Ren FX, I think we need this for the Flamberge and Renegade. |

Different battery options. Like being able to choose between the dual 14500 or a single 18650. I think a more rugged style chassis system would be good as well.
