SAVE YOUR MONEY
The sabres look cool and heavy duty, but are actually cheap in all aspects. The color of the sabre is presented by a colored piece of cellophane wrapped around and taped to the…
The paper covering the blades is for packaging purposes only. Once you put the batteries in and turn it on, you have a beautiful blue and red saber (blades are white when turned off). They are easy to use and make game play that much more fun. They are sturdy and have the look of a real saber hilt. I have purchased another brand of Wii sabers prior to these and they were way to fragile and broke within a couple days. Breaking them was my fault cause I hit something, but I have accidently done that with these as well, and they were just fine. I dont recommend hitting objects though, eventually they will break. These sabers are much sturdier and have a way better glow then the others. If you want a saber for your wii, then these are it.
The paper on the blades is only there to give the customer an idea of what they’ll look like after you take them out of the box, unwrap them and turn them on. The paper is not meant to be kept on!
I’ve had these for a few weeks. I bought them for my daughter and I to use when we play the most recent Star Wars games. They look very cool. Using them makes game play feel more realistic and enjoyable. It’s obviously not going to be as comfortable to hold as a wii remote is. My daughter really likes them too but she says it might take some time to get used to because they feel heavy. She’s 7.

These glow sabers rock!!!
Forget those ugly generic sabers they sell in the stores. These are so close to the real thing. They blow away the competition and the price is very competitive.
These are indeed some of the best looking toy light sabers out there on the market. The plastic glow tubes with LED lights fit well with a spring and twist action, then a collar goes over the joint and is secured with one or two screws – depending on the model, ensuring a good connection with the base and ensuring the blades do not accidentally fall off.
The Wiimotes when inserted into the handle, gives the entire thing some heft. That said… here are the disadvantages.
1. With the Wiimote in the handle, the cursor is disabled. Select your game from the menu before inserting the Wiimote. After that, you can use the D-pad to move through the selections.
2. Given that the Wiimotes are how the toy is balanced, it is easy to accidentally press the 1 and 2 buttons with the base of your hand.
3. Acceleration detection is sluggish. I bought this set for play with Force Unleashed. That said, saber combos are sluggish and I could not manage a Force Repulse with the accessory on the Wiimote.
Am I keeping them though? Yes. They are a kick-a$$ accessory for the kiddie’s Jedi outfits. Perfect size for a 5 year old.

What fun!
We loves these sabers. They cost a little more , but for $20 they are awsome! They are easy to put on and off so changing is easy. They dont fly off or have crappy parts.

DO NOT BUY FOR CLONE WARS!!
Do not buy these if you are going to use with Clone Wars lightsaber duels. It does not work. I am returning them. The sabers cover up the front of the wiimote.

Sabres are not worth the money, too bulky and didn’t work well with one duel game.
