This is the replica of the famous Jedi and Sith weapon from the epic Star Wars® series, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the original film's release. Its sturdy glowing blade is composed of a string of bright LEDs encased in a shatterproof polycarbonate sheath, and when turned on it reproduces the actual initialization sound used in the films. As it powers up, the LEDs illuminate in sequence, providing the illusion of a focused beam of energy emanating from the hilt. Built-in motion sensors detect blade movement and generate authentic sounds; it emits its classic hum when idle, makes a swooshing sound when swung, and produces the same clashing sound heard during the films' battles when it taps another object or lightsaber. The hi lt is crafted from durable aluminum and polyethylene, and faithfully reproduces every detail from the original movies. Ages 12 and up. Blue bladed version from Star Wars® Episode IV-A New Hope. Requires three AA batteries. The manufacturer has confirmed that this item meets U.S. Federal toy safety standards for lead. 44" L x 2" Diam. (1 lb.)
These are $119.95 each
Should I get one?

You know I have always wanted to get one of those. I am such a Star Wars geek :P
If you really want one go for it as long as you have the money to.
Now that I'll be moving to a place that's a LOT cheaper I'll have some extra cash. I just got paid from my second job so I really want to get one.
"shatterproof polycarbonate sheath"
TEST IT, PROVE THEM WRONG :D

You should some kinda Sith hottie outfit to pose with.
hmmm.....There aren't a lot of female siths though....
Real lightsaber :|
*well exepct that it can't slice through anything*
Meh, I have one of those. Went to the Star Wars III midnight showing and me and my younger brother (with his saber) did a very short choreographed "fight". It's not a toy, it's a replica, so don't treat it like those plastic ones that you see in toy stores. Never swing it as hard as you can. Whether it will shatter or not, I haven't tested, but if you're rough with it, you CAN damage the L.E.D.s.. some will be dimmer.. while some will go out completely.
Mine have a few dimmed here and there.. it's a little bit noticable.. while my brother's may act like this:
(=======)=====OOOOOOOO=========
And it looks like a detached beam since not all of them light up anymore.. @_@
Overall, it's fun, but it's really just for show. I have mine on display in my room.
Just choreograph some "fights" in your backyard. I think putting on something like that is the best, but other than that, you're likely to damage the L.E.D.s.

LOL I'm a 26 year old female. I don't think I'll be going around bashing things with it XD nor will I be having fights XD
You're too happy. And make one topic about things you want, instead of just copying and pasting the summary of the item from the site in different topics.

Makoto - Sith Babe..........No
Makoto - Sith Miss...........Nah
Makoto - Sith Hottie........Blech
Makoto - Sith something.....There has got to be something catchy I can think of.
You look like a sith in your profile when you have the hood on. Ooo maybe when you get it you should wear a hood over your head and real baggy pants and hold the lightsaber and take a pic of it. Than you'll look like a sith lord.
Are you feeling ok Andrea, You seem more random today.
Anyway remind me to post a pic of mine when I get it(Don't ask which one its modeled off of since I have connections)

Not that's evil publicity.
I have the Yoda one. Its smaller then the others, but I like how it is smaller in size and easier to use with speed IMO (I don't have the force to help me move fast...). As a whole it is cool but the ability to not retract the blade kind of get annoying sometimes. It eats batteries like crazy too.
You can get em at Hastings for $99.00 I bought mine when they first came out. It Darth Vaders and Lukes from RotJ
Makoto, I'm a star wars geek, and I have like 3-4 of these from various christmas's and Channukah's :P I have Darth Maul (Epic one), Windu, Vader, and green luke somewhere.
DO IT!!!!
If I had that money I would.
The lightsaber will soon be in my hand.
LOL at causing a mutiny on NS2 XD. I'm just going to sit back and see what happens now and then right a parody based off of it as a Star Wars fan fic WOOT

I would so save up to get those 2!
