I was browsing another forum(Penny Arcade forum I think) when I found this Link and thought some of you guys would get a kick out of it. I can personally attest for these things(Received one from a relative for one holiday or another). They are damn near indestructable. When told how durable the company said it was, I actively tried to break it, and the damn thing is still tickin'.

 

By the way, the pictures of them do not do them justice, they're absolutely beautiful.

by relatively indestructible..do you mean I could buy two, give one to someone, and then attack them with it without breaking it?

 

Or do you mean the handle is nearly indestructable?

 

just curious you know.. :) I want one so badly.

 

I loved the "not associated with Lucas Films, all are original designs" and half of them look like direct rips from the film. Don't remember the name but they had Luke's saber in there, also had one that kinda looked like Kyles.

They are designed for you to "Duel" with them - both the "blade" and the hilt can and will take alot of sh*t.

 

I hang mine over my bed for a nice reading light sometimes. Green is the brightest.

 

This is the one I got(but mines green:))

One more question (would be too nervous buying one to try breaking it without someone else also having done it..of course, if I destroyed it I could sue for false advertising and get a new one :) )

 

Anyhow, just how hard did you try to break it? Did you go at it with a hammer? Or just slam it as hard as you could against the floor? Or did you go full jedi and block bullets with it?

That should answer most of the questions, I found it on their "High Tech Features Page". As for how hard I've tried, I've slammed it on corners of a building(Civic Center) made of concrete, hit it with all sorts of tools, and what not, all with all my strength(I'm a rather strong fellow) and the fking thing is still going. I think I'd have to run it over with a steam roller to break it.

 

And yeah, it cost alot, but cmon ITS STAR WARS for crying out loud :) I'm lucky, mine was a gift :p I'd buy a Darth Maul type saber if the guy was ever to design one.

 

And about the red tip, yes it comes on all of them, but ya know what, that is way easy to break off(its just plain orange plastic).

 

If I could I would buy every sabre there with every colour combination! (thats a lot of sabres! hehe)
Hmmm got any family In America that owes any favors?

No, the blade is hella strong, breaking the orange plastic with puny Pliers is of no concern to the mighty blade. I am pretty sure a bullet will hurt it. Like toy guns, the plastic tips are on there, because the laws say they have to be there.

 

***Edit Yes, but the scratch is so small, you have to have your face 2 inches from the blade, and actively looking for it to notice.

It's probably there for cosmetic purposes like the orange ring on the barrels of toy guns. basically just screams out to people "I'm not a REAL lightsaber, don't worry, you're safe..unless I hit you really hard and bludgeon you to death..but then I'd get blood on my new pretty saber wouldn't I?" or something like that..possibly with none of the stuff after 'you're safe'

Handsome things always cost handsome prices.

This applies too,in this thing.

If I had the money,all seven would have been mine.

I just wonder what makes them so expensive.It's crazy.

And the top isnt there for other reasons?

 

For instance, maybe the saber is fragile on top ?

 

 

 

 

ps.

 

Sorry for all these posts. But I really think of buying one :)

No, it has no function. It is only there because our laws state that all fake weapons are to have that on the tip, or it is illegal to sell them.

 

No need to feel sorry, I'm most likely the only one of the bunch of us that has one, and I brought it up to you guys, thus its my duty to answer these questions.

 

BTW, Con. Snake = Consolidated Snake - Board wouldn't let me have my full name.
