If you have ever wanted your own lightsaber, this is about as close as you can get. Like all FX lightsabers, the handle is made of proper metal so its a good replica rather than a toy. The blade lights up with LEDs so it is very bright and lights along the blade. The sound effects are the icing on the cake. They won't stand up to a proper fight, but they can take a few knocks if you fancy a careful duel.
Everyone I know has thought the same about these things. The first impression is 'well, thats a lot of money for a silly toy, I'm sure its a good replica but who needs it really'. However, as soon as they get one in their hands and turn it on you can see them thinking 'I have GOT to get me one of these'.
If you've already got one FX lightsaber, you don't need another, but if you are tempted at all, trust me, you want one. Do shop around though as prices vary wildly. The blue Anakin/Luke saber is quite common and cheap, as is the red Vader one. The Obi wan and green luke sabers are discontinued and hard to find. Yoda's is very small, and Darth Maul's twin bladed verion is understandably expensive. The most expensive is the Mace Windu purple one that is usually twice the price of the others.
