 Kids love it December 25, 2007
I bought 2 of these for my 5yo and 3yo. They are getting into star wars and they really like playing with these. SO far they have had a lot of fun. The toy seems pretty durable so far. All in all it was worth the buy.
Great fun for any age October 30, 2007
This is a great toy for any age (especially on Halloween, when anyone can
dress up !). The buzz and clashing sounds are realistic enough, and the ability to switch between the blue (Jedi) and red (Sith) colors greatly increases its value over the other lightsabers. Really for the price there are no complaints !
 A 30-year-old kid's review October 30, 2007

I was born the year the original Star Wars came out. So it's been in my psyche for a long time. I remember when they first started making these extending lightsabers, and when kids would put coloured cones on top of flashlights to compensate for their lack of a lightsaber.
Anyway, here I am, 30 years later, and I still love Star Wars (my wife humours me). I bought an older Luke Skywalker lightsaber from "Return of the Jedi" for my son, who is now 8. He's seen all the movies except Ep. III (he'll have to wait a while for that). I bought the colour-changing saber for me, so that we could duel together. We do, and it's always fun.
I like the sounds of this saber. For a $20 toy, it's not bad. Not Master Replicas quality, but I couldn't afford that. Still, the sounds are good. The lights are bright, thanks to LEDs. Not so much during the day, but at night and in a darkened room, they're great.
The only thing I didn't like is that the body of the saber (the grip, I suppose) is so massive. Length-wise it's fine, but it seems really thick. I know they've got those electronics inside, but if they can make it work with the thinner and more accurately detailed vibrating Ep. III sabers, I don't see why they couldn't make it work with these as well.
Still, if you can get one, go for it. Then you can battle Jedi vs Jedi, or Jedi vs Sith. It's a good time, whether you're 8 or 30.

Got this for our 4 yr old, but two days after we got it, I had to order another one for my 2 1/2 year old girl too. They love to play with them, night and day the ability for it to change colors is great. Then when we adults play fight with them, it is very good exercise and improves coordination skills.
Cool sounds and lights January 18, 2007
I bought the light saber for my son who is 5 years old. He loved it instantly even though the handle is bigger than I had expected. He has to use both hands to wield it. The lights (both blue and red) are very good at night and the sound it makes when hitting objects are very close to the real thing. When it is light, the red color is very vague but the blue is still pretty good. The only objection I can think of is that the plastic elements that extends to form the blade, seems to "wear down" too fast, so that already now (after one month of usage) they don't stick too well together anymore.
