8. Functionality. Does what it's supposed to do, brilliantly.

7. Class leading. The brightest light with the smallest size and weight, in the world!

6. Design. Beautiful, gorgeous lights.

MBI products are miniature, portable doomsday devices. Delivering death dealing blows to darkness globally!
And who wouldent want their own doomsday device?

Oh ya, and their AWESOME!

And products like the 'Torpedo, Nuke, and HF' would totally be something Invader Zim would use.

Thanks for the brilliant posts!

At this rate, I may have to adjust the title to the "Top 100 reasons!"

Save some time and just go for "Top reasons to own an MBI product". We can always have a vote from the enumerations and keep the top 10 or 4000 for post 2

I also forgot:
shipping packaging also usable as an accessory

1.) Been waiting 2 years for it.

Guy, thanks for the XM-L head and the extra switch. I am sorry that I haven't written you yet (there is a little note on the corner of the monitor, among other notes...). I'll do that somewhere in near future. That is a promise! I also have quite a lot of pages in HF and Torpedo threads to read, they are very active... And perhaps I haven't been that active here lately.

Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

Pumping Iron (1977) is a great movie about Arnold Schwarzenegger training for the Mr. Universe contest. At one point, they ask him if he likes women and his answer is classic: "I like tall women and short women. I like skinny women and fat women. I like blonds and brunettes. Etc." I'm the same way with lights. I like throwy lights and floody lights. I like bright lights and dim lights. But just as history has shown that Arnold has a weakness for Mexican maids, I have a weakness for small lights. Especially small bright lights that have a great design and excellent fit and finish.

I don't have 10 reasons as I just got my HF-R SS in the mail last night but here are a few:

1) Because, in true entrepreneurial fashion, you had a vision that almost everybody here said you could never achieve and you did it. You had your own batteries made that could handle a high current load in a tiny physical size. And you persevered until you achieved your goals. That is something to be proud of.
2) You've got THE brightest dang little light out there.
3) You came up with a really cool switching mechanism (you better patent that baby fast as others will steal it!)

That's all I have for now - can't wait for the X run to come through.

I've been waiting on HDS to catch up for about the same time too, which raises another point:

Reason #2: LED emitter updated even before release

I am not sure but is 1 of the reason not to buy it cause its expensive?
