Star Wars Episode 3 Electronic Lightsaber OBI-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber

This product was a hit with our friend's 3 and 5 year old boys - these were birthday gifts(one for each) the "clash" noises were very realistic. The lights were really neat too. They played with them for hours. The battery compartment is easy to get to with a phillips screwdriver. Ok - I admit it, I am 36 and I want one! Really fun, kid-friendly toy.

I have to agree with the review below, whoever came up with the idea of putting in a vibrating motor at Hasbro should be fired. Not only is the vibrating stupid (duh it vibrates just by striking something), but it makes this loud awful sound. Kind of like a vibrating cell phone. However, I found a simple solution. If you carefully unscrew all of the screws, beginning with the battery cover, and carefully pry open the two sides you can see the motor. Try and locate the red and black wires connecting to the motor and cut one of them. Make sure to either cut a section out or move the severed ends away so they don't rub and still complete the circuit. Voila no more annoying vibration, but still the sound and light. I understand some work is involved, however it's worth it. Maybe Hasbro will come out with a new one without the motor. I wouldn't be surprised if they've received tons of complaints. I bought this one and my brother bought the Anakin lightsaber. Why? because someone has to be Obi-Wan. May the force be with you.

Don't bother to shop. If you can't afford the replicas and this is for your kid, he will love it. But don't buy Yoda's or Darth's. They are all different in color, vibration, size, light intensity, etc. This is the one to buy. Don't bother with the others even if you have 2 or 3 boys. Just write their names on them.

My grandsons, ages 5 1/2 and 6, adore these lightsabers. They are great fun, the kids manage not to hurt each other with them, and they have survived a week of constant play. I don't know how long they are going to last, but so far so good. (Why would you require toys to have educational value?)

Lo Maximoooo, creo que me voy a comprar otro mas, jejejeje. Saludosss.

This lighsaber is an electronic plastic replica of Obi-Wan's lightsaber from Episode 3. I owned two of these and they ended up breaking, but I did hardcore dueling with them. I love this version because the thin neck is amazing, close to the real thing. If you want a cheap durable replica, this is the one for you!

Lasted nearly 10 minutes.
