Customer Reviews

Great toy, ours is still in one piece
This light saber is a toy, not an adult model, and I can't believe any child wouldn't love it. My son loves all the sound effects it features. It has distinctly different noises and recognizes the movements your child is making. One noise for opening or closing the lightsaber, 1 noise for being slashed through the air, and a 3rd noise when your child strikes something. Yes, this toy IS made to be battled with and it makes a cool "clashing lightsaber" sound when you strike something (hopefully another lightsaber and not Grandma's knees) with enough force. My son is 7 and a Star Wars FREAK!!! (gets that from his dad) and he loves this toy. I'm sorry that the other reviewer has 1 that seems to break, but ours has proven to be durable, exciting and a new favorite toy. PS My son owns about 10 lightsabers of varying quality and functionality. This one is by far the best and well worth the $20 we paid for it at a major discount retailer.

Fun but not durable
My 5 year old son loved this lightsaber. It is spring loaded, lights up, and makes sounds. So far we have owned four. They have lasted from zero days (broken when we took it out of the box) to two weeks. Maybe my son is a bit rough with it, but how can a 5 year old boy resist play fighting with a lightsaber?

So, if you buy this lightsaber expect it to break. Have fun with it while it lasts and tell your kid that it will break so that they are prepared for it when it happens.

My only real suggestion is to make sure to buy the lightsaber from a store with a good return policy.

Cool toy a definite buy
I have never had any kind of problems with this lightsaber. I am going to buy another just because it is so much fun. Don't let bad reviews discourage you they just got a bad toy which happens. So go to a Wal Mart and pick this up.
