 Good, but with limits Nov 01, 2010
By K. Hackworth
My boys are really into Star Wars right now and to have a "light saber" that actually lights up is wonderful. But my boys are tough on these swords -- they aren't just for show! They "fight" each other with them, they fight "droids" with them (i.e. - the vertical blinds), and otherwise beat these things to death!
These swords are inexpensive for a reason, though. The plastic handle will break when abused. The electronics are easily disconnected. I have bought and inexpensive soldering gun so that I could repair some of the loose connections. The LEDs tend to lose their connection the most, which results in a sword that only lights up halfway. Nonetheless, the electronics are simple and easy enough to repair should the sword get shaken violently or beaten against something ... repeatedly!
I would recommend this product, but be advised that you will be getting an inexpensive item.

Good for Light, Bad for Fight Jul 22, 2011
By Master Yoda
I bought these sabers because I was going to a rave-party and wanted to put on a show. Turns out, they were pretty good for this, but I wouldn't recommend dueling with them. With enough force, the blades will break right out of the hilts and the LED connections will snap.
Pros
-Bright. They have a string of 22 LEDs inside each blade.
-Small enough to dance around with or for little kids to hold.
-Come with batteries and an access panel to replace them once they run out.
-Good base to start modding off of. The whole thing is put together with screws and easy to disassemble. The blades are a much sturdier plastic, similar to detergent bottles and won't break easily. The handles and LEDs are what you have to be careful with. I'm replacing my handles with custom PVC ones, and cushioning the LEDs with some hot glue.
Cons
-Relatively fragile. Not for dueling even with handle replacement. The LED string inside the blade won't hold up to constant beating.
-Evenly spaced dimmer areas on the blades from LED spacing. I was ok with this, but depending on the application, you may or may not be.
-On/off button is easy to push on accident. This isn't too big of a deal if you're careful, just something to consider.
As far as price goes. The price is ok. About 18 bucks with shipping for three sabers. You'd spend way more in time and materials trying to make swords like this yourself. I would've been happier spending less, but at the same time, I'm ok buying another set, paying the same amount.
Have fun!

 Purchased for a twist.. Oct 16, 2011
By ItzieBella
I purchased these to add a twist to my wedding ceremony. I had the wedding part hold them up as we walked from the alter out.
They were great for that purpose but the blue swords both would not stay lit and quickly turned off.
They are well packaged wrapped in bubble wrap and packing tape. Their a good size for small children but do not hold up if clashed against each other, or anything really.
Over all they function well for the price.

 AWESOME lightsabers Sep 01, 2011
By Susan Galvan
"Susan1310"
My sons are SO thrilled with these lightsabers. I took heed of the previous reviews, as my boys can be really rough on their toys. But, these are really sturdy. We've had them for at least a month, and they're still like new! They've been played with outside and in, and are my sons favorite toys.
This is a great seller. We will be back, for sure!
Thank you!

 No good Oct 27, 2011
By JGG
"JGG"
Poor quality, as is to be expected, but only one out of the three even worked. One arrived with a broken off handle.
