It's a nice replica toy for children. Good work with the full retractable blade, but not very shinny (the similar saber created before shines much more). a little big for kids, but fun to play with. my son loves it.

This product, in concept, is amazing. However it did not last more than a couple extentions before the spring loaded blade bit the dust. My little guy was so excited about his lightsaber and very careful with it as well I might add. It just was not built to survive :( We saw it light up once, the sound never did work and now it will not extend so it's officially a gallactic flop with my little boy.

My 3 boys (ages 4, 7 and 9) love their lightsabers so the idea of a spring activated version was too hard to pass up. Imagine the disappointment when the fragile spring/force action is only good for about 3 tries and then it falls apart with no way to get inside and fix it. We have 3 of them (Darth Vader, Obi-wan and Luke Skywalker). Vader was done before 9am Christmas morning. The other two are hanging on by a thread and now the boys have to be "very gentle" when they load the saber. The worst part is that the light up feature is tied to the spring so it does nothing now. These are not rough kids and it's just a matter of time before the other springs get jammed. Stick with the original light up sabers and forget the force action.

this item is great i got this about two months ago and it still works just fine i have been making movies with my friends for awhile now and we always have lightsaber fights and we hit as hard as we can and both of my friends that i make movies with have the others and they both as well work just fine and they've had them for longer but the only problem is that the waving sound is a little sensitive and even is who needs the batteries any way it shoots up by is self thats good enough for me.

This is the BEST lightsaber ever! It lasted for about a year without having to change the batteries! It's super strong and DID NOT brake into pieces, and the spring is fine. In all, I say this is a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very great product!

Good: Spring action works great and the open and closing sounds are right on the money. Nice log blade

Bad: Light not nearly bright enough perhaps the plastic blade could have also been glow in the dark. The motion activated hum as you swing the blade is very slow to respond.

Overall great conversation piece for my game room.

The product is decent, I have the Annakin and the Darth version and regularly engage in battles with my 7 y.o. son, but $85 is ridiculous. These things are fifteen dollars at the bullseye store, and only 20 at Sam Walton's. It's not enough these folks stick you for 4x the price, they have the audacity to charge shipping on top of it. Sheesh.

This lightsaber is very good i just got it today. Here is a pros and cons list.


Pro:very durable
great sound effects
great lighting


Con:huge hilt
batterie compartment easily jammed



This is a very good saber I recommend it and especially vader's because the light blends together.

This is a great toy for those who are interested in Star Wars. I bought it for my 6 yr. old grandson and he loves it.

Not a lot more to be said than that . . . Just loads of fun, especially if you are a huge Star Wars fan!
