Bought this item for my grand-nephew and he loves it. We bought a more expensive one a while ago and it cannot compare with this one. Has great sounds and color! Recommend it highly!

Star Wars Clone Wars Force Action Lightsaber Anakin

My gransons have the 'force action' lightsabers circled 3 times on their wish lists. I know that I will not disappoint them no matter what. But living on a 'retirement' income...I have to really search hard for the very best price tags. I also have to factor in any other related costs like shipping....taxes...and handling. I had 2 of these toys in my Amazon shopping cart today. I say almost because I decided to do a final comparison search. This is one of the few times that Amazon was not competitive this year. Turns out that Wal-Mart has all their'force action' lightsaber models priced at $15. Yes...I will have to pay a sales tax but it will not balance out the difference between the WalMart price vs the Amazon price. Amazon had only one of their LS models priced at $19.99 w/prime. All their other models were $21 and more. WAY MORE ! Guess it really does pay to comparison shop and then do the math.

The only problem I have with this toy - it's not bright enough. We had a couple of the older lightsabers that ran on 'C' batteries, these run on 3 AAA's. I was actually happy to discover this until I realized the thing isn't very bright unless the kids play in the dark - which they could do anyway. And these are spring activated, they pop out of the handle. Another issue - half the time when they pop out, they don't turn on, and you have to activate the light and sound by pressing the button again(same button, there's just one on the handle). If your kids would be fine with the cheaper ones, just go with that. They seem sturdy, but we just bought them, so only time will tell. If you need light, sound, and spring activation, go with this lightsaber, but you'll plunk down at least twice as much money.
Star Wars Clone Wars Force Action Lightsaber OBI-WAN,

I bought the Vader and Obi-Wan lightsabers for 2 boys (ages 5 and 8). They love them and play with them all the time. They were a little pricier on Amazon than other retailers but the convenience outweighed the difference for me. Absolutely no educational value whatsoever and I'm sure they won't last a year, but worth every penny.

The build and light/sound quality of this is great. Takes a good beating and has a realistic set of "turn-on", "turn-off", "swing", and "clash" sounds. Compared to the Rubies costume sabers, this model is rock-solid (Rubies' accessories are quite junky, even if they are cheap).

Two exceptions: 1) The lowest segment of the "blade" never retracts, I think this was to make room in the handle for the sound and motion electronics, but I've seen newer models that retract completely, 2) It turns off after about 3 minutes of not being used... this is great if you're in constant saber battles, but really? couldn't this have been a bit longer?

All and all, a great toy w/o the price of the replica models.

My boys each received one of these for Christmas, and they absolutely loved them! However, they are not very durable at all. I had to send one of them back because, after a couple days, it wouldn't extend any more. They refunded my money, but then I had to reorder. My kids had a blast with them, and the idea is a good one, but the durability is a drawback.

I bought all 4 versions of these lightsabers and they have been a huge hit in our house. This one glows (blue), makes humming sounds (one for idle and another for contact), and feels like a pretty durable toy (I have 3 young boys so it has to be pretty tough).

The only con I see with this toy is that the spring-loaded feature can be dangerous if it's pointed at anyone because it just jumps right out, and the plastic on it is not some soft, cushiony sort of plastic so I know it could cause some damage.

Even so, it is a great toy and a great value for something that my young kids can enjoy with their dad.

Lots of fun with this toy.Good price and arrived at a good time.One of the things I will enjoy for a long time.

My kids love playing with this toy. I wish they would stop redoing these things. They love the press the button it flings out thing. I own at lest 6 of these things in different colors they are about 2 yrs old now and still going.

When you are searching for lightsabers, the prices are a little crazy. We bought one as a gift for someone and didn't want to spend $80 or more for something that will be used as a toy. This toy runs on the large side. It's not for little kid hands. I would recommend it for 10 and up. The saber does spring into a wand but some of the pieces get stuck. The sounds and lights are cool. Overall, it did what kids would want it to do.
