Star Wars Ultimate Lightsaber builds the experience

BYO Lightsaber

It’s not the first time we’ve had a lightsaber toy that kids can build, but this is certainly the next level of the concept. Tying in with LucasFilm’s THE CLONE WARS movie and TV show on Cartoon Network, the Star Wars Ultimate Lightsaber lets young Padawans experience their first right of passage as a Jedi – to build their own lightsaber.

BYO Lightsaber 2

That’s because the Star Wars Ultimate LIghtsaber is more than a toy … it’s dozens of toys. Hundreds. In fact, over a thousand different toys. A kit of various parts which creates nearly unlimited different light saber variants. The kit comes with 20 different interchangeable parts to build your own customized weapon, including 1 hilt, 2 blades, 2 emitters, 1 light bulb housing, 2 caps, 3 power crystals, 3 filters, 2 hilt sleeves, 1 adapter, 3 sleeve rings, 2 switches and instructions.

Kids can build Anakin’s blade, ObiWan’s, Count Dooko’s, even Yoda’s and Asz Ventriss. And beyond. That makes for not only great imagination, but when kids get tired of one design, they can break it down and build another. And another. And another.
Requires 2 C batteries to power the blade. Ages 4-8 (or more). Cost around $30 from Hasbro.
