Force FX Lightsabers

[plantman]

Hi,

Who has one and what do they think of it, ive been toying with the idea of getting one (ill tell the missus they are ltd edition and will be worth loads)

all reviews look tempting!

The Master Replicas ones were very good (I can't remember if eFX were taking over their production or whether Hasbro got the deal). At some point I was planning to modify one with a luxeon LED set (much brighter) and detachable blade but I never got around to it.

Play.com used to sell them very cheap but don't know if they still do.
I had an Anakin ROTS one (same as Luke Episode IV one really) which was nice but ended up selling it.

I got a darth fx one from mem a year back for £40 - it's great. A totally unjustified purchase but it's got to be done

The kids are very jealous :lol:

I have the Vader and ANH Luke one got them 2 and 3 years ago and they still work mint!

 

[plantman]

So they are worth getting then? they have them on play.com for £50 free postage.

I may just get one anyway.....

 

[spoons]

get two

 

[jaymassive619]

get two

Spoons is right you have to have two! Me and my house mate had a street battle last xmas after ton of vodka i was darth he was luke.

All the nieghbours came out and started cheering! I think my GF has the video on her phone.

Cool, ill blame it all on you guys then if the mrs kicks off :lol:

firing away with one now!

I have the Mace Windu one.

It's on display in my living room, much to the disgust of my wife.

As Spoons says, an unjustiied purchase but it's a must really.

They are well cool...

i have vader ANH, Luke ANH and Yoda - they are brilliant fun....shame I dont have the rest though!

 

[paulaura]

I bought these as they were released, the only one I would like another of is the darth maul, so I can double it up. 8)

I reckon i'm gonna get one of these soon (maybe/probably followed up by a second one). Still being a (older) kid myself i reckon that there'll be some dueling done at some stage.
Are they up to contact (with each other probably quite hard)? I've read that they aren't, but there are plenty of videos of people smacking them together on youtube.
The other option is to get a custom one made (better lighting too). Anyone gone down this path? I reckon i'd stick with the MR EX soundboard (rather than a hasbro one).

I got the Yoda lightsaber and i have to say i was mightily impressed in a child like way, i was whoossh it about with a big grin!

The missus was unimpressed but hey, who cares
