Still waiting on my pack shell, but I see they just announced another item that will be available soon… but no preorders on the item yet.

I asked Arron about these. If you’re buying all of your parts from this kit from Mack’s Factory, the labels for their respective parts will come with them. So save your $53 if you’re getting the whole kit & kaboodle.

Too cool. I might just pick one up just for backup. Any idea on when we will actually be able to purchase the labels?

No. They were available a couple days ago. I almost bought a set until I asked Arron about them. Probably will have a new run of them up soon, I’d guess.

Wow, they already sold out? That’s a little frightening. Will it be this way for all parts? I would hate to venture into this build not knowing if I can get all the parts. There needs to be some sort of notification system setup. Having to check multiple times everyday will get old fast.

I think they just sold out of the rest of their on hand supply.

Just saw Mack’s Factory listed the front and [side knob](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/ecto-goggle-side-knobs) for the nuetrona wand for sale. If you are planning to do the whole build is it better to wait for the small kits for knobs etc?

Yeah, I’m wondering the same thing. I have both knobs in my cart, but I’m thinking about waiting to see if they offer the knob kit soon.

So, a savings of 98 cents for the kit. 🙂

I’m still waiting for my pack (#86 on the list) and it’s hard to start thinking about wand parts when I haven’t been able to buy the shell yet.

I wonder why they each come with two screws. I have heard no mention of electronics for this kit, I wonder if they plan on us just using the current kits available for the full size packs. I’m thinking it would be cool to use one of SpongeFace’s incandescent kits for my build.

Strange how the electronic kits don’t show in the shop unless you do a search.

So I’m noticing and didn’t see any reference of it…but foam packs? Might we finally have Ann option for stunt packs? 😱

Another addition…

- [PP119 - Synchronous Motor Mount (Bumper) - $64.99](https://macksfactory.myshopify.com/products/pp119-cross-bar)

I have to say, I’m not too happy with the way they are releasing these items. So far I have a bunch of stuff that I can’t attach to anything. Still waiting on the shell at #86 on the list.

I’m thinking I may have made a huge mistake buying all these parts as it looks like it will take years to get these things out.

</div>

I haven’t bought a single item as I won’t until I have the shell…I also won’t buy anything for the thrower until I have the thrower main body.

I just hope by time my turn comes for the pack these items won’t be out of stock and I face a lengthy wait or worse the items will be discontinued.
