Star wars FUN for little ones
This is a brilliant toy.My 2 year old loves it.IT is not complicated, it doesn't make any noise, it is big enough for a toddler to handle but still offers action play. I think it is a great attempt at introducing toddlers to STAR WARS without it being a stuffed EWOK. I love Star Wars and I am thrilled to be able to share it with my children. My four year old likes this toy as well, so I think it will have a longer life span than most toddler toys. I also feel it appeals to boys and girls in that it is not designed in a gender specific way, as so many things are.YOu will be pleasantly surprised at its appeal and durability.This was a gift but I can see buying more in this series- check out the R2D2 and CSPO- they look awesome. It is especially nice not to worry about losing small pieces.BUY THIS TOY if you LOVE STAR WARS... Afterall, not EVERY toy has to teach you the alphabet. ... Read more

Awesome!!!

I just got both the VADER and ANAKIN models in the mail today. I ordered them without seeing any models in stores. Once they arrived, I carefully opened one of the boxes and withdrew my new toy.

The hilt is awesome. Looks and appears like the real thing (manufacturer disclaimer says they are slightly larger than the movie replicas to accomodate the electronics)with very shiny chrome and all the detail of the movie props.

Quickly I removed the end and searched for some AA batteries. Once I reassembled the hilt there was nothing left to do but throw the switch. It was late evening and the light in my house was dim. WOW!!! Fan-friggin-tastic. Amazing. Even my wife who could care less for Star-Wars said (in an honest-to-god awed voice) WOW! My entire living room lit up with a blue glow as the blade surged to life. The polycarbonate blade is filled with individual LEDs from hilt to tip and light sequentially for power up and down effects.

Then my wife (once again who cares not for Star Wars...tsk tsk) accepted my offer to duel. We fired up the VADER model (which by the way sounds more sinister when in idle mode than the ANAKIN model...it has an evil pop and crack type sound) and we began chasing each other around the living room and kitchen smacking everything in sight and clashing blades. Some of our blows were harder than intended and the sabers seemed to take our beating just fine, and the sound F/X are very cool!!!

To the other reviewer, who's dog cowered from sight of the blades, mine did too...=)

No STAR WARS fan should deprive themselves of this great toy.

The MACE WINDU model will be available again in the fall, I can't wait to get it. And I hope they release a Green one, too.

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

These are very cool big boy's toys!
I bought one Darth and one Anakin Lightsaber from Best Buy before the movie was released.They are supposed to be for my two boys (3 and 6), but I will be keeping them somewhere safe.Playtime will be short and supervised!!

The quality is fantastic and they look and sound great!

I was incredibly lucky to stumble on the Darth Lightsaber - they were only getting a couple a week and were being bought minutes after hitting the sales floor.Employees were buying them before they even made it to the floor in some cases.The Darth one was partially hidden and from the look on the salesman's face, he had his eyes set on that one.I grabbed one Anakin and the last Darth, payed for them, locked them in my car, then went back to finish shopping.

My son looks great with his Darth Vader voice-changer helmet and his new red lightsaber!

That guy is a faggot
The previous poster, who rated this toy a mere one star is a dirty sodomite who doesnt admire the beauty and elegance of this device. For one, i can say that it changed my life for the better. I recently divorced my wife to spend more time with my lightsaber which i have dubbed, Grenobulax. Late into the evening when i am suffering from night terrors that i developed during the great war,i reach out and grab Grenobulax for comfort fighting away invisible Japs. Sir, if you do not believe that teh lightsaber is the greatest invention EVER, i will personally fight you, and irish box you, then smite you crushing and burning your home, friends, family, children, childrens children, and all that you hold dear. I will force you to abandon all faith in whatever deity you worship. That is how much i love this lightsaber. Now i can die in peace as i will be buried with my newfound treasure.

Impressive, most impressive...
I saw this toy at the benefit premiere for Star Wars Episode 3 and let me tell you it was the best star wars toy I've ever seen in my life.The realistic power up and power down effects, plus all the different sounds, it's just amazing.
I'll be sure to get myself this one and the blue one as soon as they're available from amazon.com, get yours too...

OK it is very durable here is why!
I bought this for my 6 year old who will not take it outside to play...I wouldn't allow it for one, and the other kids might be a bit jealous for another.ANYWAY, I was showing it to a co-worker (about 10 minutes ago) and to show how the sounds work (when striking an object) I told him to hit my arm "kinda hard".Well he hits me like a baseball and stung me pretty good (I was expecting a bit of a 'tap').It is still solid as a rock and works perfectly.I have a red mark on my arm 4 inches long and 1 inch wide.

Indoors or outside in the evening/night this is the most amazing looking light sabre ever.100 bucks?I'm going to buy another.

Wise old Yoda could teach all the young trick-or-treaters athing or two. His costume is a long robe in a neutral brown plaid with asash. Yoda's mask is also included, and it's a realistic representationof his pale-green skin, winning smile, and those lovable leprechaun-likeears. --Marcie Bovetz ... Read more

An OK Model
This obviously is a re-release of the OLD "Empire Strikes Back" kit released in the 80's.

A decent size kit (approx 15 inches) it gives an experience modeler a good opportunity at super detailing.

The kit is relatively easy to build out of the box, but it has many inaccuracies most notably the inaccurate sensor/bridge deflector DOME on top of the ship.

These inaccuracies can be addressed by looking in the Internet for replacement parts and articles on addressing those inaccuracies.

However, the kit is worth the price.

My only disappointment is the kit is not in scale with the new "Republic Star Destroyer" from "Revenge of the Sith".The new kit for the new movie is over 19 inches long.In order for this kit to be in scale with the current movie version, it would need to be about 24 inches long.

Hopefully someone will make the "Imperial Star Destroyer" to that scale.

A Green Classic Trilogy Lightsaber
Off the bat, it makes me think of Luke's from ROTJ. This thing is durable no matter what you do with it. I always loved the Skiff and Sail Barge battle in that move and I act it out with this. This is a beautiful replica of Anakin's lightsaber, and I do think a green blade is better then a blue or purple one, but red is better then any. That is just my opinion, however.

This packs the old activation box, which I just love. It does get in the way some times, but if you can find a good grip on this it is awesome. ... Read more

Thank you Mr. Lucas!
This is a wonderful series of figures.My 4 year old son wants everything star wars and the regular figures and toys are too complex and pose chocking hazzards to his 2 year old sister who wants them too.This new line of toddler toys are wonderful!They are cute and chucky just perfect for little hands and mouths!Luke Skywalker's helmet is even attached by a string.And the light saber actually lights up.My son even gave it the highest toddler honor... he took it to show and tell!Check out the X wing fighter so cute! He loves it!Does anyone out there know where you can find the battleship and the droids?They are sold out everywhere.Thank you Mr. Lucas from a Mommy an artist and a teacher for developing such wonderful thoughtful toys for your littlest of fans.

Great Star Wars toys for toddlers!
My 3 year old loves this. It's larger than the regular figures and doesn't have any small pieces to get lost. The helmet does fit loosely, but it's attached by two strings on his back, so it never gets lost. The light saber is almost big enough that he can pretend it's a full size one (without hitting anyone or knocking stuff over). It is a little hard to fit in Luke's hand, but he doesn't mind. We also got the X-Wing Fighter, which is also great. These are sturdy toys and should get a lot of use. Can't wait to get some more from this series.

frustrating toy
This toy is very frustrating to my 4 and a half year old son.The helmet doesn't fit in such a way that it "snaps" on, it sort of rests over Luke's head and falls off continuously.The light-saber is really cool because it lights up, but it is very difficult for my son to get into Luke's hand.The little space suit that comes with it is just a piece of junk, it doesn't fit his waist properly and snaps off all too easily.I'm frustrated with this toy since I'm constantly having to put the light-saber back in Luke's hand or fix the space suit.My son does enjoy putting him in the X-wing that you can purchase separately, which we bought first.But I wish we had instead bought the smaller model that comes with Luke and R2-D2.That has less parts, would probably be less frustrating for all of us.

Like all the 'kiddie' Star Wars toys - great.
Excellent, sturdy and poseable toy.Fits in the large X-wing fighter toy and comes with a light-up lightsaber and some kooky escape pod/helmet accessory.

These toys are wonderful for toddlers.Jointed knees, waists, heads, wrists and fully poseable shoulders allow for quite a bit of expression and variety in play.Will fit with many Rescue Heroes toys and playsetsto boot.

Great toys.Don't miss Darth Vader,the droids or the X-wing and speeder bike.Lots of fun for a little kid or their parents. ... Read more
