With the reviews for this Lightsaber what are the chances of getting one that isn't what it should or wrong?

Sir, the possibility of successfully receiving an incorrect lightsaber is approximately 3,720 to 1.

I received the same thing. I would rather have received the one pictured. I'm not sure if Ace Martial Arts is even aware of there bad picture. Its a nice sword though.

I don't have the Luke Skywalker blue lightsaber, but considering it was a "hand-me-down" from "Dad", I would think they would be identical or close to it.

That would be where the strip of led lights connects in the middle. Most of the replica lightsabers are constructed in much the same way. It is visible to a certain degree but should not be that noticeable.

Nope. Sorry. Its expensive to buy a removable blade lightsaber. Try ulrtasabres.com. with no sound and no upgades it should be affordable. Plus they have a belt holster system that is really great.

I have question about returns on this item-do you have any problems if I don

Yes, it is! It's very good. The only thing I didn't like was the fact we can clearly see the blue leds in the saber, even when it's dark. Maybe it's a battery issue but...

I would have to agree with E.Salmon on this one too. My delivery date says March 19th, but I doubt it will actually arrive then if yours was slated for next day delivery. More than likely it's another way for amazon and similar sites to keep customers interested in the product by hinting that they had it "in stock" at one time. I would just click the "Notify Me" button at the Razer site and await confirmation. Grrrr

This can definitely be used for reenactments! We actually used it in a few lightsaber battles. Its very sturdy and will handle the typical saber combat. I wouldn't obviously strike it against a hard surface or anything. The one thing I would say is that the handle is more susceptible to marks. My husband actually dropped his on the ground, and it got a scuff mark on the handle, but for the height he dropped it from and the surface, it really only got a small mark and it's hard to notice if you didnt know better. Looks more like a "battle scar"! Anyway, I'd say as long as your sensible about how you battle, this is the perfect lightsaber! This can definitely be used for reenactments!

There will always be a bad apple whether its the product or the person reviewing it. Sometimes people just have bad luck with products. But we haven't regretted our purchase for even a second. We love it. Good luck with yours if you get it. Just be sure to do the support on the bottom the proper way and I think you'll be really pleased with it. We may have gone a little overboard on the framing of the base but that's how we roll. Lol

Thanks for this info! Some of the reviews are very conflicting on this point.

I bought one after the bad reviews, and have had no problems. I am entirely pleased with the product. That doesn't answer your question, I know, as clearly it wasn't a 100% failure rate.

It's a gamble if you do not purchase directly from Amazon. There are a lot of bootleg versions of this figure, and resellers may or may not even know the difference.

I, also, received the translucent orange weapons, rather than the correct ones shown in the photo. I reached out to Hasbro's Customer Care and they confirmed that there was a inventory issue that they were investigating and said they would get back to me with a resolution. 20 days later I haven't received any further information.

I can't speak to what other reviewers received but I can tell you the item I received a was a Doan's. My advice is to stay away from sellers that are way below the price that other sellers have the item listed at. If the deal seems too good to be true than it probably is and you should look elsewhere. Good luck to you and I hope you find what you're looking for!

Not so good for Dueling, it's definitely a prop/collectors item. You'd want to look into the custom saber builders for ones that can be used for Dueling.

Given the number of bad reviews of dead batteries by reliable Amazonians, I'd say that what you see (March 2014) is likely to be what you get--at best. Caveat Emptor and complain to Amazon. They do make it good. Probably people are giving this vendor a free ride he does not deserve.
