Title: Help creating a lightsaber Post by: Simplerectangle on February 09, 2019, 10:37:39 PM Hello, new to buying and constructing sabers. I recently been gifted a lightsaber from a friend of mine and I have been checking out ultrasabers for quite some time now. I have been wanting to buy individual parts to build one but I have a few questions. The pieces for the saber I'm building are
- UltraEdge Heavy Grade Blade (36 standard size) - Dark War Glave Emmiter with claws - Empty Dark Apprentice LE V5 hilt - Dark Dorinian Pommel - 4 AAA Battery Holder - Modular LED System MLS unit Please correct me if I am missing any parts necessary for building a saber. I want to know if I am getting all the parts needed before buying, just in case I missed something.

However, if your plan is to take the emitter off of the Apprentice LE V5 and put the War Glaive emitter on it, it won't work. The emitter on the Apprentices isn't removable. When you're looking at hilts, the info thing on down the page will tell you if the emitter is removable: (https://evilgenius180.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/windowshot_2019-02-09_185434.png) If it doesn't say it has a removable MHS compatible emitter, then the emitter is likely part of the hilt. You can still remove it, of course, but you have to cut it off. Title: Re: Help creating a lightsaber Post by: Simplerectangle on February 10, 2019, 02:28:06 AM I didn't notice that at first. Thank you for telling me this! Guess I'll probably get Bane or Dark Shock, since the LED part doesn't seem to work with Apprentice V5. Thank you once again!
