This saber has provided hours of "battling" fun for our Star Wars loving kids. First, it "pops" out (spring loaded), glows, and "hums" while being used. We bought 2 and the boys (7 and 9 yrs) love to battle, and they fight the correct way, not to hurt, but to have tons of fun. Great price ($10), 1/2 of what they are in the store, with no shipping or tax to boot!

don't know who loves these things more, the kids or me. We have three of them (Luke, Darth, Obi) and they are the coolest. They can take a good beating too...within reason, of course.

The 'blade' retracts completely into the handle. The package makes it look as though it doesn't, but it does. Also they are pretty long when extended. The sound effects are pretty good too. Of course, the best part is that the effects are motion and contact sensitive.

Great toy for the child (or adult) who is into Star Wars (or just likes beating the tar out of their sibling).

My boys absolutely love these lightsabers! We've owned them for several months and they do not take it easy during their duals. I'm impressed with the durability of the toys and there's just something about hearing that snap-hiss sound that comes with the "blade" springing out of the hilt. Obviously, I play with these as much as my sons.

I bought a blue and a red light saber for my nephews for Christmas and then another two for myself and a friend for a Star Wars party recently this year. They are really fun. They made noise and lit up. My nephews didn't pay attention to any other gifts on Christmas morning! Also, all of my friends enjoyed playing with the other set at our party. The only downside is that they aren't very durable at all and are easily battered. But really, I had expected that when I bought them.
I think this item is a good deal. It's fun to play with, doesn't cost much, and won't annoy you for too long! haha.
Good buy. I'd recommend it.

The construction is solid. A button activates the sword by extending the saber and turning on the lights/special effects. It is a safe toy and I don't forsee immediate danger, except for defeat of the evil wielders of the Force. Sound effects are realistic and the lights are a great touch. My daughter loves it and I don't mind sword fighting with her, either.

Pros:
Button actuating the saber
Sound effects
Solid construction

Cons:
None

This is a great addition to your Jedi's collection. I highly recommend it.

My kid (5 Yrs. old) loves this toy although I'm a bit dissapointed that the light is not as strong as I expected it to be.
In order to realy see the light of the lightsaber, you need to activate it in the dark and even then , it won't be strong enough.
After 3 weeks the sounds stopped working (probably because my kid and I conducted many battles :))

This is the second lightsaber I bought to my child. The first one was bought (through Amazon) a year and a half ago, and it was one of the favorite toys of my child. Alas, in a hard battle with my sofa the first lightsaber was broken. For months, my child tried to create a lightsaber by herself, but it was not easy to make it light, so I bought another Hasbro lightsaber. My child is happy, me too. (Sorry for my English, this is not my native language.)

We bought this for my 4 year old son for his birthday. It is a little big for younger children, but he has still enjoyed it a whole lot. It is the kind of toy that is kept of out of reach when not being played with though. I dread to think what would happen if he his two year old sister got her hands on it.

Overall a very fun toy and adults like it as much as the kids.

Other than the fact that you're going to be yelling at your child to "Watch Out for the Whatever" about forty thousand times while you own this toy (we just opened ours this morning and I've had to say it about sixty times) this is a winner with my son. Little boys love these kinds of swords. Lights and buzzing noises just make them feel like they are a Star Wars guy.

I put brand new brand name batteries in two light sabers (Obi-Wan's and Darth Vader's) to test them and they worked fine. I put them back in the boxes to await wrapping. About 1 - 2 weeks later, I took them out to show my sister and the batteries in both were dead. If you buy them, I would suggest putting in batteries when you want to use them and taking them out of the toy when not in use. This is a little bit of a pain in the neck, because the battery compartment opens with a tiny phillips screw driver. Otherwise the toy is pretty much exactly what I expected.
