This Thing Is So Cool!!!!,

This review is from: Star Wars Clone Wars Ultimate Blaster (Toy)
My son bought this with his allowance money and it is the absolute coolest thing I have ever seen! You can basically take apart the whole gun into 7-8 pieces and everything, except the shoulder stock (& this funny handle thing that we never use), makes a fun clicking noise when you put it together. In addition, the ammo clip and sniper sight can be put on about 5 different places making even more differnet gun configurations. Each of the gun barrel configurations makes a different firing noise (one sounds like the AT-AT's main laser blast or a similar large laser cannon round and others are typical Star Wars gun sounds - all very different from eachother) and you can set the gun for single-shot action (plus huge explosion) with the clip taken off or rapid fire mode (plus huge explosion after 5-10 shots) with the clip in place. Also you run out of ammo after awhile sending it in to single-shot mode until you "replace" the clip (remove and put back on). I rated it as a 1-Star on educational because, you know, it's just a gun... I guess it educates you on Star Wars stuff.
My 8-yr old son has been wanting a Star Wars gun for ages and this one is so much better than the typical Stormtrooper/Clone Trooper rifle or Han Solo pistol. Theoretically you could buy 2 guns and start piecing everything together to some monster weapon, but my son & I haven't geeked out that far - yet... If they'd had this when Star Wars Ep4 came out 30 yrs ago, Kenner would have made a killing!!! This has to be my favorite Star Wars toy that I've ever come across and that's saying something. And the price is REALLY reasonable - the best of both worlds!

This review is from: Star Wars Clone Wars Ultimate Blaster (Toy)
Similar to the "Ultimate Lightsaber" kit that Hasbro released in recent years, this "Ultimate Blaster" kit is something that I wish I had when I was younger---and something that my son is calling his "favorite birthday present." While not completely universal, parts can be removed and swapped around to some degree to create a number of different weapons---and each configuration has a unique blaster sound effect in addition to cool "lock and load" sound effects as you assemble your custom weapon. Surprisingly, the pieces stay together well enough so as not to fall apart during play thanks to a nice "insert and twist" locking system and some discrete sliding lock switches. There are also nice sequential LED lights on the barrel section to simulate blaster fire and energy-charging. It's not completely accurate as far as a "movie replica" but the unique play value makes this a very cool toy for the average kid. My only complaint (not Hasbro's fault since I believe there are regulations on toy guns) is that it's not molded in black like a real blaster---I've got some spraypainting to do for my son!

This review is from: Star Wars Clone Wars Ultimate Blaster (Toy)
I had seen this blaster about 6 months ago here on Amazon, for $28.00, sold through an Amazon store, but not fullfilled by Amazon. If you go to Hasbro's web site, their suggested retail is twenty two dollars and ninety nine cents! (search for "build your own blaster").
I looked elsewhere online for this toy, and could not find. It seems that Amazon is taking advantage of this and of the fact it got such high ratings on their site. This is wrong in soooo many levels. I've worked in retail sales/price negotiations and there are rules to how you can price a product. I have never in my career seen such a huge deviation in price from the suggested retail. I would guess that this was not part of the pricing agreement with Hasbro. I have been an AMazon customer for over 5 years, and have not always been happy with the way I see they play with prices, but this is just apalling. I refuse to support a business that lacks the # rule: ETHICS.
