5.0 out of 5 stars Vault Edition Is Awesome
By MrDerp on September 22, 2018
This arrived in perfect condition. It was placed in a shipping box and shipped that way. I've read reviews of others who say Amazon just shipped it in the box it comes with. I was absolutely ready to return it if that was the case, based on principle alone. But that didn't happen, so very happy about that.

It's an amazing piece. And I'm thankful it got re-released. Works fine, no problems. The included batteries were dead when it arrived which scared me at first but replacing them was easy and it functioned properly, with sound/lights afterwards.

The Holocron Vault takes two AA batteries. Mine works perfectly as it should. Just push the button on the front then it lights up, opens and out comes the book on a tray. Care is required as this is all mechanical and the gears are likely very fragile. It's sounds are kind of loud but the entire process only lasts about 10 seconds from a closed state to open.

It looks most impressive, making a terrific conversation piece. The book is filled to the brim with interesting content. There's six sections of journal entries about various Sith Lords spanning many centuries. It's just overall very interesting to me and very well put together imho.

There's little extras included between random pages of the book that are appreciated and add value to this. And it really makes you feel like you've got something historic and darkly powerful regarding the "knowledge" that it contains. Although that's just me letting my imagination run wild, obviously. But it's still really cool.

Buy this now before it goes out of stock, because when that happens the 3rd party sellers will be the only ones offering it for ungodly prices. I'm talking upwards of $500. Ridiculous. I got it for $60. Which is a great price imo for what you're getting here. There's also (among five other vaults: Jedi Path, Bounty Hunters Code, Imperial Handbook, Rebel Files, Smugglers Guide) a Rebel Files Vault I'll likely be buying as well although it's slightly more expensive atm.

I'm tempted to get the stand alone book (same book without the Holocron) because the cover of that one has the words and tribal design colored black. Which looks really nice, as opposed to the one that comes with this set that has a slightly deeper red for the words on the cover.

David Wallace, the author of the book is a really nice guy, I've seen his comments on YouTube reviews of this and he seems to generally care about it. I think he did a fantastic job and look forward to more content from him. 5/5 stars. Totally worth owning. No regrets whatsoever with my purchase. Very pleased and highly recommend for any SW fan or those interested in Sith lore.
