The ultimate piece in every STAR WARS fan’s treasure chest is the lightsaber…the ultimate galatic weapon that offers no excuses, only answers.
Hard-core fans that can speak Huttese immediately snatched up the hyper-realistic but expensive MASTER REPLICAS Lightsabers when they first came out in 2002.
Then Hasbro launched the Force FX Lightsabers for the masses. Although they still maintained its authentic look with die-cast metal parts, the prices still made most parents shutter ($120).
This year, to the excitement of millions of young boys and girls wishing to be JEDIS, Hasbro unveiled the latest and most affordable series to date:
The STAR WARS ULTIMATE FX LIGHTSABER series.
This incredibly realistic lightsaber will excite any child (or adult) when they first see the blade glow after power-activation and start to hear that glorious humming sound.
With every swing and slice, you’ll hear even more motion-controlled authentic sound effects. Each impact will also generate clashing and crackling battle sounds. After you’ve defeated your enemies, power down your trusty lightsaber (with sound effect) and get take a well-deserved snack break. After all, even JEDIs like cookies.
If you have a child that loves STAR WARS, this is definitely a must-have toy for this holiday season.
Compared to the higher end lightsabers, this one strikes the perfect balance between price and value…especially for younger JEDIs in training!
