LOL, yeah, I'll post a pic. I'll need to get a disposable camera first. I think they're out of the red Sabers, so I might have to get a blue one. But I want, and always wanted a red one.
If I can't find one here in my city, I'll use my brothers paypal to get it off the net, since I don't have one. And that would suck because I'll have to wait even longer.

If you can't afford the light sabers you could always find two sticks and set them on fire. The sting would probably be more realistic, anyway. _________________ [url=http://starrust.com][img]http://starrust.com/images/linksout/starrust2.gif[/img][/url] |

I finally got one! It's not [i]as[/i] cool as it looks, tho.
The goods:
-Very nice handle. Looks alot like in the movies.
-It's heavy, so you know it's not all cheap with plastic crap inside.
-it does everything thinkgeek.com says it does.
-it only takes 3 double A batteries.
the bads:
-The light (I got the Darth Vader one, so it's red) is a little dull.
-the motion sound effects are [i]really[/i] slow.
-you must hit it hard againsts something to get the 'clash' sound effect.
-you must swing it hard to get the 'swing' sound effects.
-you basically have to almost break it to get any sound effects.
(I think they have most, if not all pictures on thinkgeek.com of the Light Saber in the dark because the light is too dull)
Alright, the light/beam is ok, when you turn it on it shoots out and the sound effect for it is timely. BUT, when you turn it off, the light retracts with hesitation. You can see it skip as it retracts. But the sound effect goes good with it tho.
If anyone has any more questions about it, just ask. I might end up selling it on eBay. I got this one at GameStop a little while ago. It was $100 USD, and I still regret getting it. If Will want's it, he can come and get it. It's yours, buddy.
BUT, If I had gotten the double edge (I think there is one) I would keep it, no matter how much it sucked. Come on, it's Darth Maul. _________________ "edit : i luv james" - Layzcarter |

sorry but look at the bright side, it was [i]my[/i] money spent. And you don't have to spend any money. _________________ "edit : i luv james" - Layzcarter |
