@neveraging i can’t stand when toys large enough to take big boy batteries take a gillion watch batteries instead. For one it’s a lot harder to impossible to find rechargeables.
I recently found my original darth maul saber like this. Felt really good doing the classic spin-extended. Surprised at the condition, looked at getting it up to snuff again. Felt really old when I realized it was far enough back to use small lightbulbs rather than LEDs. Closed back up for now until I decide what to do.
Tracking says my order was received at a local post office on Nov. 30, but they haven’t delivered. How do I find out what’s up with that? Tracking: 92748902711486543400609111
The Farce is strong with this one.
@mehcuda67 you are talking Irk, aren’t you?
@mehcuda67 I sense a disturbance in the Farce.
@mehcuda67 @hchavers @bmf Strong, it is!
Requires “six 1.5v a76 batteries”
What in the living hell are those?
Sounds like after one day of leaving these things on all night, kids’ are going to have to be satisfied with daytime lightsabering.
@neveraging 76 Alkaline battery is equivalent to LR44, A76, PX76A, V136A, AG13, L1154.

@neveraging Thanks for pointing that out. I was gonna blindly buy some for kids. Not a chance for watch batteries.
@neveraging would have bought, then saw this. Thanks!
@neveraging A76
Roughly a buck a battery for brand names on Amazon. And they probably last for minutes in a kid’s toy.
Whatever happened to Saturday night?

@simplersimon Found it, you did!
You’ll poke your eye out, Ralphie!
@ThunderChicken Poke your eye out, you will!
@2many2no watched this recently. It’s too bad you need a giant backpack to wield it.
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!
@RiotDemon If I could wield it, I wouldn’t care, backpack or not.
The End.
@blaineg Didn’t quite work for professor Proton.

Sound effects are user optional.
@hchavers Optional, they are!
@hchavers @ThunderChicken Hey, when I watched original movie and was about 10 years old, we would just wave sticks around and go “whoosh!”
@pmarin Thanks so much for making me do the math and realize how long ago that was.
@hchavers @pmarin @ThunderChicken No, pretty sure the correct sound is, “RRRROWRMM”.
If these were real, I’d be in for one. But these plastic knockoffs aren’t going to chop anyone’s arm off.
Holiday shopping has begun!

(stinky-ignorant-kraken)Hell I might try to rewire them to take 18650 batteries. If I screw them up I’m only out six bucks…
I already have a fat stay of toy sabers, so I have no value in this one
@WilhelmScreamer Have them, you do!
Will these slice through 4” of steel? My saw is brokenness
@bugger 4" steel will slice thru these.
Slice through, they will!
@ThunderChicken Ginsu knife, it is not
Good for the Toys for Tots collection box

I think I saw these “apprentice” models at Five Below, so this is a comparable price.

Moff Gideon approved.

I want to see Irk kick the dark lord’s ass! and Darth Vader’s too.
Obi-Wan: It’s over Anakin! I have the longer lightsaber blade by 0.7".
Anakin: You don’t know my power! My hilt is bigger by 0.9"
@Rueki hilt more important at than length?
@swarthytype
Length was more important.

@mweb202 Visit your local post office and ask about it with the postmaster. Usually that’s the person handling the PO Box window.
I just received this today. Ordered 11/22. Package has been around the country a few times.
Just now reading the required battery issue… sigh
