>>5949857They're well-made with bright blades, and are fun to mess around with due to being surprisingly responsive to your movements (swing it slowly and get a low hummmm, swing it fast and get a quick vrmm vrmm!). I got both of mine for about $100 each and I'm very happy at that price, $150 is a bit much imo, but as
>>5950141 pointed out Target has a $25 off coupon right now that makes things more reasonable.
I'd suggest Luke's IV/V blade (which is really more of ANH blade, as I think there were changes to the hilt made for ESB that aren't reflected on the FX) over the VI. Don't get me wrong, I love the VI blade, but the FX saber has a couple issues. First, Hasbro used the same saber sounds on the VI blade that they used for the IV/V blade. This is mostly noticeable on the ignition sound. The 'real' VI saber has a distinct screech to it when it ignites, and it really stinks that Hasbro didn't bother to replicate it accurately.
Second, the neck of the FX's VI blade hilt is way, way too thick. I'm sure there's some practical reason for it (structural support or something), but it's just totally inaccurate and really messes up one of the notable features of the VI hilt.
If you aren't too hung up about accuracy, and just dig the green ROTJ blade, then I think you'd still like the FX (almost picked one up myself when I saw it at Target earlier this week). But if you can't decide between the IV/V and VI blades, I say get the IV/V just because it doesn't have the VI's glaring inaccuracies.
