HasbroUniversal Trends SW94729 3 – FORCE FX LIGHTSABER Obi-Wan with Removable Blade

I love using this, better than I expected and goes well with my Star Wars costume which I hope to show off later this year.

I bought this as a display piece, as I am a star wars fan. It was quite a lot of money to pay, and I did feel a bit guilty about paying so much. It arrived well packed in a large brown Amazon box, with loads of brown paper stuffed inside to protect the other box the sabre was in. In this second box, the sabre was in Polystyrene foam, so it couldn't move about. When I opened the second box I thought, WOW, it was very impressive to look at, and feels great to hold. It has a removable blue blade, start up/shut down sound, idle hum and clash sounds. there are some plastic parts, and some annoying stickers, which are easy to remove, but leave a sticky residue which takes ages to remove. You also get a plastic stand and belt clip to wear the hilt round your waist if you are into cos play. I am very satisfied with the sabre, but I do think it is a bit expensive. I am usually very happy with Amazon, but in this instance, I am not. First of all, they say, free UK delivery, and usually dispatched within 3 to 5 days, well it was dispatched within 5 days, but I didn't realise it was coming from Japan, so after I ordered the sabre, I was told it would arrive in about 5 weeks time. In the end it arrived after 2 weeks, so I can't fault the supplier. Secondly, I had a letter from Parcel Force Worldwide, on the Wednesday, saying my parcel had arrived, and would be delivered the next day, as soon as I pay the customs charges, of £41.61 These charges were not mentioned at all, even now, I can't see anything saying I will be expected to pay custom charges. This has pushed the price up to about £205 had I known it would cost this much, I may not have bought the sabre. The advertised price should include any extra charges, or extra charges should be clearly shown, Before you click Buy. I rate the sabre 4 stars, the supplier, 5 stars, and Amazon, 1 star.

Looked cool but sound didn't work so was disappointed

Brilliant replica made by Hasbro, and so much nicer than the cheap "toy" lightsabers they make too. Sound effect are spot on and the light up/down looks great. Only issue is that mine seems to have some glue leaked on an area, but that makes the saver look a little battle worn so it's ok. The blade is sturdy, but the end cap doesn't look fixed on centrally, so hope this wont affect the durability of the blade.Overall though, a worthy addition to any Star Wars fan or Jedi wanna-be.
