Thread: Ordering Different Parts within the MHS

  1. #1

    Default Ordering Different Parts within the MHS

    I was wondering if it's possible to order the MHS with different parts to those normally shipped with it? For now, this is only really relevant to pommels, I guess, but I was thinking of when the new emitter designs are released as well. Say I wanted to get the full MHS kit, but with a different pommel and different emitter, would I have to buy them separately, or could I have them replace Emitter 1 and Pommel 1 listed on the site?

    Good question! Tim! Paging Strydur to thread.

    It could be an option for alternative pommel in a pulldown menu for +$ for pommel 1, 2, etc...

    I think he should have an "Electronics Starter Kit"

    Including,
    -LED
    -Resistor thingy
    -Heat sink
    -Battery holder
    -Switch
    -Quick change (Optional)
    -Blade (all components, unassembled)

    Edit:
    -LED Lens


    Then you can buy any hilt body parts you want and not worry if you forgot to get something for the guts.

    Keep the same options (LED Color)

    The only thing that would change would be that no hilt body parts would be offered in the Electronics Starter Kit, and the blade would be added.

    Then you click on the body parts you want as you would normaly do...


    It would save you from trying to click on all the electronic parts you need... Getting them... and realising you forgot the Lens!


    Damn the lens! I for got that! See what I mean!!!

    I will figure out a better way to handle this..for now just order all of the parts seperately using the MHS starter kit list to make sure you get it all.

    It's more than that. There's lens angle, battery holder (AA or AAA), Switch type, etc...

    I think that should wait until we get a complete "hilt designer"

    You're kind of "Over Thinking" my idea...


    Duplicate the MHS Starter kit... Options and all...
    Take OUT the body parts... Put IN a blade (kit)...
    Then let the customer pick and choose the body parts they want.

    It's a "Starter Kit" for a reason.

    If they want more options than offered in the kit, THEN they should order it Piece-Mail.


    Think of it as the next evolution of the MHS Starter Kit, brought on by the advent of so many body part options.



    Say I wanted to build a new saber (and I want to) I could order, for example...

    -Electronics Starter Kit
    -Pommel style #2
    -Ribbed section
    -Hilt Syle #1
    -Emmiter style #3

    There's my new saber... (I have no idea what that would look like...lol)

    Simplicity at it's best just print the parts list for the mhs kit then sub the parts you want to change.

    The main reason I ask this is because if I want a different pommel and emitter (not counting any extensions like the ribbed piece) I've got to shell out an extra $25.99 at least, assuming the new emitters cost as much as emitter 1, and I'd still have a spare pommel and emitter which I'd never use. Plus the extra shipping, which is rather a lot to the UK.

    Is there any way, Strydur, that you'd be able to do me a custom order of the MHS, minus the original emitter and pommel, plus the ones I wanted? Even if it costs extra (as the new pommels are more expensive than pommel 1)?
