Will these be available as a V2 option too? :)
Will you make me a v2 with a CF6 & CEX ????
If Not put me down for a PCv2 and when can i send you the $100
General,
If you are doing these, put me down for a MK VI, v3 with CS! Just let me know how to send you funds.
Respectfully,
Sanjuro
Sanjuro, the v3 version doesn't have those arrows as it has a graflex clamp.

Ahh... Which version has the arrows? I thought it was the v3 and the v2 has the clamp?
Respectfully,
Sanjuro
Hi there,
count me in for one MKVI Hero with a PC or CS board.
Moreove, I'd like to have the last spot for the MKIII, if still available. For this hilt I probably have to go with the basic option (otherwise I cannot afford it). If I can get the spot, is it possible to change the trim level later on?
Regards,
Tham-Sai
MKVI Hero with CS please, let me know if there's still a spot and I'll send the deposit :)
Tham-Sai spoke first. There is one spot. I will let both of you in. Send your deposits.Wow I was too excited to actually count all the replies, just saw Darthvix was latest... Thank you General Sir!

@Sanjuro...you want a V1/Hero (CF or PC can flash, CS will just light up). I will confirm with everyone before anything is built, so nothing to worry about for any of you.

General,
Very much appreciated! Yes, a V1/Hero. Might as well go all out this then. CF with FoC and CeX (if CeX is possible). Definitely LED flashing arrows. Touch plate activation?
Thanks again!
Respectfully,
Sanjuro
Is it possible to do a V2 with a visible crystal chamber? I'd probably just go with a PC as I'd like more of a canon hilt without blinkies.
Hi General,
I just sent you the deposit for the MKVI Hero (probably with PC maybe with CS) and also the deposit for the MKIII (probably basic version). It would be nice if you could confirm that you received the payment.
BTW, does the PC version of the MKVI Hero also have FoC and the blinking arrows?
I'm so happy that I made it :D.
Regards,
Tham-Sai
Ok No CEX :(
My order will now be a PCv2 or newest PC that is at time of build :)
Also will you offer the Tri leds ?
If i could order a custom i would totally pay the extra cost to get a GGR or GGB but if not the GGW will do me
Thanks
Just wanted to apologize to the General for sending him a PM regarding a slot on the MKVI pre order. I got excited when I saw the opening, so I PM'd you right away, without seeing this thread first. I was just asking about the opening of a CS slot, but if its not in the cards for one more slot to open, please don't fret! :)
Just confirming that you still have the deposit I sent for the MK's....a long time ago in a galaxy far far away...lol ;D
@everyone else, don't feel like if you don't send a deposit that you won't be able to get one. There will not "only" be 10. I opened a few deposit slots to help me keep track of the people who keep "bugging" me, lol. It is just hard to remember who I "promise" one to so this just keeps it above board. If 8 or 10 more people post interest here, I will think about taking more deposits (but I can't guarantee that I will).

Hi General. I'd like to show my interest if you do decide to open up some more slots for the MK VI.
Cheers.
Hey,
I just wanted to confirm that I want a Hero version MKVI with CS in it :)
Thanks :)
General, is touch plate activation going to be standard on all of them? cause I really want to get one but If I did I was thinking about getting the PC 2.0 version and I liked the 2 black switches on the side of the control box better, is this possible? I mean I know it's possible, but are you willing to do it? ;D
PM Sent.
Interested in a MKVI spot. If there's another spot available...I want in. That would make this a very Merry Christmas. Not sure on the specs I'd want yet.
Thanks much.

Yay! I just calculated my budget and I found out I had previously underestimated which means I can spring for a CF! I can't wait until we get closer to MKVI time. So excited.
How about a in-progress pic of the MKIII's?
Kinda like a teaser trailer...
Have you done a MkIII with a crystal chamber? Similar deal to the Yoda vintage grafflex.
hey guys can you take me to school what exactly does MK stand for, and the number behind it?
Thx General Grievous. You must have been a teacher in college because not only can I not spell , I need to learn to proof read as well. Yikes! thank you for understanding what I intended to write. I need to remember what my college professor would say "Write drunk but proofread sober" anyway as I am finding my way around the forum I discovered that your build log is closed for the quarter. besides taking part in 1 of your runs is that, and the occasional lightsaber that you post on your website the only way to buy a lightsaber from you?
Thank you For the explanation. Although I must say that the M, I would have guessed was master the K, I thought was Kenobi, no idea with the numbers stood for? well if this were colllege and this was organic chemistry I probably would have stayed at the C range 1 of 3, or 33%
66 percent that's definitely a passing grade!
I wish ochem could grade like this... ::) But noooooo, I get the hardest professor in the batch. -__-''
LOLWUT. In what galaxy is chem fun? :O
Aaaand I've officially derailed the thread. I might have to take this to PM and rage... ::)
*kneel* Teach me your wares master! I pledge myself to your teachings!

May I ask, if there still is the last slot open for an MKVI? I would like to buy a MKVI and it should have features like: Blinking-Triangle-Arrows, Movie flicker and FOC in a second color, would the PCv2 the correct choice?

I'm sorry but those 15 slots are all full. This information is posted in my build log ;) Now, just because you don't have a pre-order slot doesn't mean you will not be able to get one. I will produce more than 15, I just don't feel comfortable taking more than 15 deposits, especially since this is still a number of months from even starting ;)

Thank you for the information. How will I be able to find out if I will be able to get one of the MKVI? I do not like auctions very much due to the fact that I like fixed prices (easier to calculate with) - so I hope there is an other way of buying them?
You can switch me to a CFv6 too. If neither of the top three want a CF MKVI from the original run, I'll take it. Is the stick switch arrangement the one where the black buttons on the side of the box turn the saber on? That would be extra cool if it that was the case.
Edit: Just curious, but how much more would keeping the copper have cost?
Copper hovered at about $1.50/lb. in 2005 it jumped to $4.00/lb. except for a brief period in 2009 when it returned to $1.50/lb, the price has stayed at $4.00/lb. if the copper parts went increased from $50 to $150, that makes sense -- if each saber uses 30 lbs of copper each. (I just made up the $50 value; I have no knowledge of the actual costs.)
My point is that the price of copper went up greatly, but that does not explain the price jump. There is more to this story. Maybe your supplier is gouging you. Maybe the factory that makes your particular stock shut down... I don't know, but it would be interesting to find out.
Another PM sent
I am fully aware of the reasons 'why'. Unfortunately there is a ton of waste on each neck AND each box top (meaning you need double the piece size plus extra to cut) and there are certain size/minimum requirements to purchase it. It is also "machinable copper" which is much more expensive. Anyone who machines copper knows this and knows why you don't use 'regular' copper to machine parts from ;) It is what it is. I chose not to do it to keep the saber costs to my clients the same. I am not willing to take a $85+ hit on each saber. If I had to do that, I would simply not do them at all.
PM sent.
Just curious... Will mine or any of these come with real copper cards in the control box? or is that an upgraded feature?
I know I have seen a few with the real copper cards, I just wasn't sure if that is standard now.
Bummer I was looking Forward to aluminum to keep cost down for me. No choice I guess.
Put me down on the waiting list. :D
I will be posting them this week for all to see.
I will be posting them this week for all to see.
One phrase comes to mind as I read this: giddy as a schoolgirl.
Can't wait to see it. I'm especially curious at how the amber flash on clash turned out.
Being that it is now time for ME to pay the deposit on the new batch of MKVI's, I will sell one of my two personal MKVI hilts. These are from the original batch and have the copper neck and box top. Remember, the new run will have aluminum PC'd copper parts so I don't have to raise the prices (copper is wildly expensive at this point and nearly double what it was last time).
Here is how it is gonna go. I want this one to be a CFv6 build. Why? I need cash to pay for all the new ones, lol. that means I will offer it to the people on the list starting at the top. The top spot does indeed happen to be a CF build, as does the second spot. The Second spot will most likely take it if the first doesn't because that dude has been waiting like 2 years. I would also prefer to use the stick switch arrangement on this build. I just did Spaznick's today with the stock switches and it functions very well. Finally, this will NOT be a V2.
Since those are the only two on the list for CF MKVI's, if neither one takes it I will build it and auction it. If someone from the list buys it, I will deduct their deposit from the final price.
...and here is the list:
1.Darth Smorgis (CFv6).--LOCKED & FINISHED
2. C. Zhang (web) CF
3. Sanjuro (CSv1...Hero version)
4.Jin (CF)--LOCKED & FINISHED
5. Kamakazykid
6. scottjua PC
7. VVENOM (V2) PCv2 Pommel leds...TBD
8. Mac23-PCv2 w/FoC
9. DarthVix PC for now
10. Tham-Sai PC or CS
11. LUKE SKYWALKER
12. J. Lund (web) V2
13. Force Maverick
14. Kenobi2185
15. ScruffyNerfHerder PC (details later)
Ready...set...go. :o Darth Smorgis is on the clock...you have 3 days to decide.
Just out of curiosity, does that mean all the MKVI are going to be cf only or am I having a blonde moment?
Cant wait for these to be finished, and its super cool they will have real copper, its so worth the extra $50!
Thanks GG for putting so much thought into these, they are gonna be the hit of my collection.
I'd buy it if I were on the list. But then, I'd buy almost anything... I'm an idiot.

- getting his dome nearly blown off in your X-wing,
- nearly drowning him on Dagobah,

Just because I haven't come across the 9W before, what are the major differences the 9W and the Tri-Rebel and which company are the 9W from? If there's already been a discussion about the pros and cons of the 9W can you link me to it?
