    Hey I too have a saber comming, and I just want to get it all strait before I order parts: I have the Mace Windu MR saber en route, so I need from this store:

    -The Conversion Kit (Mace specific)
    -The LED itself
    -The Lense
    -THe Lense holder

    -NO complete blade?
    -NO electronics kit??

    Perhaps you see my confusion - I don't want to have to order things seperately, I want to get it all at once. Please help, thanks.

    yes you will need the conversion kit +
    led 3 watt
    lenz holder
    lenz

    You can use the stock blade by sanding down the end a bit.
    You are using the original electronics and sound from your Mace saber.

    I beleive that is all you need, I will be getting my Vader conversion kit Mon.

    Yup all correct... You can reuse the MR blade. Just about any blade is better, but you don't need another one.

    No electronics kit either... the board of the MR will run it fine. Check out the tutorial here.

    Ah, but here's the crux of the problem:
    My saber comes w/ a "slightly used" blade, and I want a superior one that can handle bashing around. Which one do I got with from this site to minimize cost?

    You can save a few bucks by getting the blade components and building it yourself but for the money, a complete blade is the way to go.

    Also, it is typical for TCSS blades to need to be sanded a bit to fit in to MR blade holders, MR blades normally are loose in TCSS holders and some times even need a small bir of tape.
