ok those demonstraters are pretty bad at fighting, sabers look decent though, Im wondering how durable they are though.

[Keeloth]

Yeah, Darth Maul and Obi-Wan, they ain't. :-D  I imagine the sabers probably can't take a whole lot of force behind a swing, not without risking the electronics inside.  Still, I love how bright the sabers are.  They look lit even in bright daylight.

[Arawn]

Darth Maul? Thats Darth Nihilus.

Can't be Master Kenobi either because he wasent even born when Nihilus roamed the Galaxy.

[Keeloth]

I know who the Sith is supposed to be.  Was referencing Darth Maul/Obi Wan due to their acrobatics and such, as opposed to just tapping the other guy's lightsaber gently back and forth and spinning it around occasionally :-D

[Arawn]

Hahaha true.

Never been a fan of light-up sabers personally, they can never live up to a video of a roto'd one. So a good hilt would do me fine.

I'm a fan of the ForceFX lightsabers.  I've got two of the original Master Replicas models.  The ForceFX line is now made by Hasbro, but they're every bit as good as the Master Replicas models, if not better.  Hasbro has even expanded the line to include removable blade models.

And they're all ~$100 and have sound.

but can you duel with them?

If you want a duelling saber you'll want one of these. Pricey but the best.

[Ghisteslwchlohm]

That's cool and all, but they don't light up. We need a combination of the Novus' durability and the ultrasabers lights.

Ain't really gonna happen, any material that lights up is not going to be durable enough to duel effectively with.

[Anathamas]

I'm working on it. :p

You tell me.
