Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We have three-quarters of a year of good lightsaber fighting under our belts (with kids) and I can say that the extension mechanism and the translucent cylinders work reliably and are stronger than I expected. The electronics, however, went off-and-on within the first few weeks of use. We have one lightsaber that works most of the time, and another that finally died before I decided to cut it open (see below). This is unfortunate because the light and sounds add a lot to the drama of using these things. I would still purchase these toys, but design-wise, I think there is a mismatch in the reliability of the various components.
For Do-It-Yourselfers: I spent two hours one evening repairing one of ours. I don't recommend this for most people. Even though there are screws in the handle, Hasbro glued the half shells together at the top. So to do this properly, you really need to cut through one of the shells to open it up, see what needs fixing, and then meticulously put it back together. There is a small circuit board, two contact switches, a motion sensor, the battery pack, a speaker, LEDs, catch/release mechanism, one large spring, two small springs, the outer switch and, of course, the translucent tubes. Where our lightsaber was having trouble was with the main contact switch. I removed the small piece of foam between the contacts and it has worked well since. I closed up the shells with a band of hot glue around the cut (ringing the hilt).

Every heroic Jedi should always travel the galaxy with his very own lightsaber. This battery-operated version features a spring-activated blade that extends to more than three feet long at the press of a button. Authentic power-activated humming sounds buzz, adding a realistic effect, while a glowing arc-wave energy blade illuminates the way just like Anakin Skywalker's.Great for costume parties or Halloween. Warning Choking Hazard! contains small parts, not for children under 3.
