Customer Review: Darth Maul wannabes, get this toy!
Summary: 5 Stars
My brother and I love sword fighting each other, but we usually fight with sticks that break after 10 seconds, give or take. So I bought this double-bladed light saber and my brother bought the Qui-Gon Jinn light saber and we've been having a blast! The plastic on this toy is unbelievably durable, so you can hit the other light saber as hard as you want and it'll last. There is one fixable flaw, however. This has been stated many times, but I have a solution. The on/off button that controls the strobe lights and sound is right in the middle of the handle and can easily be pushed off when fighting. To fix this, I simply looped a string twice around the underside of the on/off and reset buttons and taped down the excess string. It takes more force to push down the button this way, but when your fighting there won't be enough force on the button(s) to push them off. I gave this toy an educational rating of 2 stars because it is educational in the art of sword fighting, but we don't exactly use this knowledge in everyday life, unless of course you are a jedi ;-).Customer Review: Bad Buttons
Summary: 2 Stars
The on/off buttons as well as the reset button are fully exposed on the handle of this toy making it impossible to use without accidentally turning it on and off all the time. I had to make some rubber guards to protect the buttons from being accidentally hit so the toy would stay on as long as it was being played with. My kids were completely disgusted with this toy until I fixed it. If you buy one be ready to fix it.Customer Review: The greatest toy ever built even better then a BMW

Summary: 5 Stars
These lightsabers are of much higher quality than the ugly, fat, short, cheap, flimsy, and unusable versions I have seen. I admired my lightsaber for its strength, sleekness, and simple dignity and functionality. Its appearance suggested it to be a tool of speed and precision. Unfortunately, several design flaws were quick to point themselves out. First, the on/off switch that activates the device is a sensitive push-button in the middle that is too easy to toggle on and off when one is spinning the lightsaber defensively. Also, while the flashes that are produced whenever one of the blades strikes an object is impressive, I prefer the constant glow that indicates where the blade is in the dark, which is where the lightsaber must be used to observe the full effect of the flashes. This glow is absent in this model of lightsaber. These problems are easily remedied by removing the batteries and using the lightsaber as usual. I no longer have my intact lightsaber, because life imitated art and it broke in half. I recognized however, that I could use it now as two single-bladed lightsabers and just buy another, as I am eagerly waiting to do. I recommend this toy to any Star Wars fan or quarterstaff and broadsword enthusiast looking for a cool toy.Customer Review: Jedi Knight from Brazil reviewing the Sith weapon
Summary: 5 Stars
I must say that the detail on this saber is amazing. however, there are quite a few problems, being the blades being good, but not excellent in terms of resistance. Other one is that there are two functional buttons, one that toggles on/off and other that only turns the toy off, and both are in the way of the hands, so the saber turns off very often. Mine has broke in the middle of the handle, and I think that it was a plastic problem, but in all, it is a great toy. I am looking forward to buying a new one to replace mine.
