I've wanted one of these since the original film was released way back in the 70's. Other replicas have either been way too expensive or way too cheap and nasty. This replica is just amazing. All metal hilt with rubber inserts, nice weight, amazing sound and a reall power-up/power-down action, and even comes with a display stand - powers off 3x AA bateries. Fantastic price. Arrived withing 2 days of order. Mine will sit nicely alongside my master replicas stormtrooper helmet. So, if you want to own a fantastic replica of the first lightsabre to inspire the Jedi in all of us, then this is the item for you. Buy one now before its too late!!

Bought this few days back and it arrived today... Superb condition and fast!!! Good one from play.com, so fun to play with, and the whole unit feels solid, with real stainless steel at the handle.... I would expect something less for the price but it is indeed very neat n fine in detail!!! Grab one before they sold them out, i missed out my darth vader saber...

Fantastic product - much research and thought went into this purchase as it was for my 6 year old son, but it's a great price for what you get. The blade lights up and turns off exactly like it does in the film! The sounds are great and I can't fault it.
Only negative point is the way that it was packaged by Play - a small silver bag wrapped round the middle, which considering it was a Christmas present kind of gave it away. I thought at least it would have been totally covered.
