For the cost, these things are really fun and durable. Very pleased overall with the quality and ability for the lighsaber to take abuse, so long as your not being extremely agressive or using it as a hammer. Reasonable jousting and play seems to hold up fine.

My son loves Star Wars so we got him the Darth Vader Ultimate FX lightsaber because it was a great price compared to the original FX lightsabers. This one is made for kids. The blade uses less leds than the fx lightsabers but are very bright. When they are swinging the thing around, you can't really see the individual led bulbs. The handle is plastic and is easy to turn on and off. He loves playing it with his sister who also loves Star Wars and has the Qui Gon version. They do stand up to quite a bit of abuse. My kids do not really swing at full force at each other, but even when you control the swings, sometimes they do make pretty hard contact with each other with only minor scuffs to the blade which cannot be seen when powered on. I wish I had this when I was a kid. I do have the FX lightsaber and even though it is more expensive I do play with the kids and hit my lightsaber against theirs but obviously I am more careful with my swings. I have attached an action shot pic, which looks very cool, but bear in mind that the actual lightsaber colors are very solid, (ie. solid red), but because of the way the camera handles exposure, it looks like the core is white with a red outline just like the movies!

My 7 year old son runs around the house with a towel draped around his neck and this light saber, trying to slay his sisters. We love this item.

I got 2 of these for my nephews for Christmas and I must say they are very very durable. The sounds they make are great to good and loud. My littlest nephew has a reputation for breaking toy swords with in about 10 minutes of getting them but his saber is still working and in one piece. The funny thing is I have found myself playing with them from time to time and not realizing how awkward it must look lol. I would recommend these to any one with a kid 5yo+.

Item as described. I've never been into the whole Star Wars thing, but I know my nephew will love this. The family coordinated gifts, so he'll also get a second lightsaber and the helmet. Great fun for a nine year old!

Let me son play with it for a couple weeks. He had an absolute blast. He's got a variety of sabers. Ranging from the Ultimate one to the basic ones, he loves this one the most. As mentioned in previous reviews, this one doesn't retract. So don't plan on sneaking through the forest of Endor with this by your side, and whipping it out as your assault begins. However, because it is a fixed "blade," it's also a lot thinner.
The power on and off effects are cool. It ascends and descends respectively. When you slice through the air, it makes whooshing sounds. And when you hit something, it makes an impact noise you recreate your battles.
All in all, the detail is pretty good. The blade has great effects and visuals. Plan on using it to crush the pesky Rebel Alliance.

Good but could be better

We liked the way on power-up the lights extended from the hilt to the end. It looks great in the dark (even better when one of the team used it on our weekly video-conference). There's a motion sensor that will give the whoosh noise when you swing it and a clash when it impacts on something (your co-worker wielding the Anakin saber perhaps?).
The saber "blade" is pretty rugged and has stood up to some abuse without any signs of damage. It doesn't retract like some similar products, so if you plan to use this with a Halloween costume, be ready to carry it's full length. Also the little plastic piece that looks like a switch actually isn't, though everyone wanted to press it.
The handle was a little awkward to hold. It's diameter is pretty big for even an adult hand and kids might find it a bit big for them. I think the power switch might be a little loose, because the saber sometimes likes to shut itself off.
Overall, it's good for those of you who need to get your inner Darth Vader on, but there are a few things that could be better.

Very nice lightsaber
Posted 10/21/2012
I like the way it makes its sounds such as "power up", and the "clashing" sound. It looks really cool in the dark too. And for people who don't know this, look at the base of the handle and you will find a three position switch for "off-tryme-on". Switching to "on" will keep the light saber turned on.
