Sorry for posting here for traffic. It's our son's birthday and he really would like a replica Obi Wan lightsaber. I have no idea where to find one. Seen some on Etsy but they are 3D printed and may be just made of plastic? Anyone here have any knowledge where to buy a decent metal replica that's isn't expensive ? Thanks. He will be 14 so not wanting the toy shop type

I think you will struggle if it needs to be inexpensive. There are lots of decent ones- especially on American sites but, sadly, they cost hundreds.

PickUpAPickUpAPenguin · 30/05/2020 17:16

How inexpensive? Had a quick look and it looks like you'd have to import from the US which means customs charges on top.

My husband has a Force FX from a company called Sideshow I think. Sideshow dont stock them any more, but its fucking awesome.
Think it cost £££. But, well. It's a lightsabre innit

How much are you willing to pay?

Feellikedancingyeah · 30/05/2020 18:30

Was hoping no more than £100

Sorry to high jack. Does anyone else’s young DC call it a “lightsaver”?

pkyoursuitcase · 30/05/2020 18:32

Check out the website Forbidden Planet .Sells loads of stuff like that .

@Stannisbaratheonsboxofmatches Makes sense- when you switch it off, it saves the light inside Grin

StrawberryJam200 · 30/05/2020 18:38

Yup to lightsaver!

TerrorWig · 30/05/2020 18:40

@Stannisbaratheonsboxofmatches my HUSBAND calls it a lightsaver! Grin

Stannisbaratheonsboxofmatches · 30/05/2020 18:45

Oh good I’m glad it’s not just here that it’s called that!

7ofNine · 30/05/2020 18:51

Shock @TerrorWig. That's a divorcable offence!

Feellikedancingyeah · 30/05/2020 19:58

That's unforgivable !

We’ve got a force FX one too from forbidden planet, I don't remember but they weren’t dramatically over £100 at the time. They’re replicas, really well made. But still just a glorified toy 😂

Clymene · 30/05/2020 20:08

My DS has one from ultrasabers which is very good quality and definitely not a toy. Probably just over £100 once you factor in shipping

VimFuego101 · 30/05/2020 20:12

ForceFX are really good quality. I think they're more like 200 pound range though.

My husband is currently waiting for delivery of his from Ali express (sigh) and apparently the reviews are good but it will take a while to arrive.

Feellikedancingyeah · 30/05/2020 23:44

Forbidden planet sounds good.. Website down at the moment so will keep trying
