I would add:
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/In...ring-P965.aspx to hold the Pommel Insert in place
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/St...-pad-P483.aspx to hold the LED star to the Heatsink
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Sw...Jack-P822.aspx to recharge your battery, + one of the kill plug options for use in conjunction with this
http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/20...stor-P847.aspx if you want to make the Accent LED on your swtch light up

And the LED you have listed is RBlue/RBlue/White... If I understand your title correctly, you want a purple blade, which means you will need a RBlue and a Red led on your tri-star

And you should not need the extra SD card, the Nano comes with one already

Awesome! Much appreciated, Cire. I'll revise my list. You don't think adequate space will be a problem do you?

The MPS clip doesn't work with the MHSv2 parts. You want the o-ring that Cire linked to hold your pommel insert in place.

Also, the Nano Biscotte does come with an SD card installed. You can get a spare if you like, though it's not needed.

May I also add that a 40" blade will be too long for a 4yo. The average blade length for adults is 36". Were you planning on getting a too-long blade and then cutting it to length yourself?

Exactly. I'm going to cut the blade to length to suit her, and also planning to make some design embellishments on the hilt. I'm fortunate enough to have a bandsaw, and a lathe which is only accurate enough to manage some surface customization, not so much matching threads.

I honestly do not know space-wise, I have not used MHSv2 parts yet.
