>>5349149I've got Vader's and Luke's and they're awesome. Luke's suffers a little bit due to it being easier to make out the separation between the LEDs in some parts of the blade (I read somewhere that this is due to blue light not being as vibrant as red, though that could just be mumbo jumbo). Not a big deal, but just something I noticed between Vader's and Luke's.
The detail of the hilts is great and the metal construction makes them feel quite nice. The sabers respond well to your motions too, playing the appropriate vrmmm vrmm sound depending on how quickly and how long you swing the saber. It's pretty darn fun to turn out the lights and swing 'em around in the dark, haha.
Definitely try to get them on sale though, I paid about $105 plus tax for each of my sabers and I'm very happy with that price. The MSRP of $150 plus tax on the other hand, is overpriced in my opinion.
>>5349337I watched a video of a guy purposely destroying a Force FX saber by whacking it on stuff, and it actually put it with a fair amount of abuse before LEDs started going out. I remember the LEDs would blink out on impact but then flicker back to life. He ended up whacking it against a metal bar full strength and that immediately knocked out half the LEDs, heh.
Still definitely would never want to purposely whack things with these if you can help it, because you never know what could happen and I know that LED strip is delicate.
