Great Lightsaber This is a great lightsaber. The ability to make your own lightsaber hilt and give it three different colors to choose from is awesome. The blade color is bright and clear in most lighting condition, like indoors and low light conditions and the sound effects are great. I'm a huge fan of Star Wars and getting to create my own lightsaber is great!!! I'm not sure some reviewers think this lightsaber is so bad.
fun my brothers and i all have one and we get out and clash them together quite a bit doing some sword play. they are stronger than you think but i wouldn't hit them on anything other than the sabers
Complete your training I first bought this procuct at a Radio Shack for $[...], it was exciting to create my own weapon. Also you cannot acurately create all of the lightsabers from the movie which is ok because you are not a true jedi until you have built your own weapon and copying is cheating. Finally I created a 90% acurate model of Luke's lightsaber from Return of the Jedi. I was very happy with my purchase and I am planning on buying another one for a movie I am making soon.
A great gift for the adult Star Wars fan! This product is great! It was actually purchased for a friend, but I've swung it around a few times myself...heh heh. Great attention to detail, superb quality...the absolute must-have for any die-hard SW fan.
Complete Your Training I have to disagree with the other reviews of this product. While not "movie quality," one has to remember that the official movie props are just metal hilts with colored wooden dowels as a blade. The "lightsaber" effect is put in during post-production! So to say that this lightsaber is not movie quality is a bit like comparing airbrushed cover models to real women. It's simply special effect.
This lightsaber construction kit is definitely a thrill, especially since I got mine at Radio Shack for 25 dollars! The power on/power off sound effect is especially realistic, and the hilt (which features metal emmitters as well as metal pummels) feels heavy and "real" in your hand. I love the interchangeable parts, allowing the user to truly customize the lightsaber, like a "real" Jedi would as part of his/her training. The light within the blade is very strong, and mine goes all the way to the end. All three colors are vibrant and incredible, although I'm currently practicing with green. The display in the store didn't light all the way to the end and the sound was weak, so perhaps a battery problem is to be blamed for any negative reviews.
In all, compared to what I've always had (a generic white toy store version with telescoping blade), I feel like a real Jedi! I would suggest this kit to any fan who wants a truly realistic Star Wars experience, not to mention an incredible amount of fun!
