I went into Kabees to look at their SW stuff, and I think I found a mistake! They had two kinds of saber that weren't boxed, so you could try them while they were still packaged and all that. The hilts were exactly identical to Obi-Wan's and Qui-Gon's, but Obi-Wan's had a green blade and Qui-Gon's had a blue blade. Either there's gonna be some jedi with those sabers in EII or they made a mistake. Do mistakes make items more collectable?
Also while I was in the store, I also saw Anakin's and Count Dooku's lightsabers. It was really cool. They light up, make sounds, and the blades even looked metallic! (Imagine that when they light up!) Count Dooku's looks almost like a gun though, because it has a curve like those pirate pistols and it has a button that looks like a trigger. LOL

Those lightsabers aren't mistakes! I think they just decided to come out with a bunch of cheaper lightsabers for the kids, that didn't make noise to drive parents insane ;D! Wal-Mart had the same ones, and they were on the offical toy release lists. What I want to know is, where is Obi-Wan's lightsaber? Anyone find one?

So take out the batteries? When TPM came out they had cheapy ones that didn't make noise too, but they were still the right sabers. That stinks.
Haven't found Obi-Wan's, unless you like green blades. (I looked.)

There is supposed to be an electronic Obi-Wan lightsaber, to go along with the Count Dooku and Anakin ones. It was really hard to find the TPM Obi-Wan one too, and I wound up buying it on eBay for $50.00 . I have yet to live that one down with my husband. I just hope they don't limit the AOTC one, cause it's the only one I really want!

I saw the electronic Obi-Wan saber at a KayBee Toy Works today. It was $24.99 though.

I think i'll stick to the ones from TPM. I've already got way to many weapons in this place. I dont need anymore.

Guess what? I went to the Star Tours store in Disneyland and found out what's going on with the LS. They had alot of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon LS there, but they all had different colored blades. So it's just a mix-and-match. I'm alot happier now, 'cause I got my green, Jonathan got his blue, and we got his little sister a purple one.
LS=lightsabers, just easier that way

I got the 'LS'. I didn't get the 'Johnathan'. Boyfriend?
There a bunch of LS's, the cheap ones, with different color blades. Actually, not that cheap-- $8!! I want a purple one! Does anyone know if Hasbro will be making Mace Windu's saber?

Sorry, I thought I mentioned him before. He's my best friend. (Boyfriend... yech!)
The closest I've found to Mace's is the one that comes in the Jedi pack with the belt, binoculars, and headset. Blue blade though, I don't know why. And if you're getting a purple one to fight with, I suggest getting Qui-Gon's. That thing on the end of OB1's is murder on the wrists!

I got my Obi-Wan saber ! Yipee!!!! Had to go to the Celebration to get it, but I found it (the electronic one). Apparently, they only made a limited number of them. Figures !!!

[shadow=purple,left,300]Alright, here's all the info I have on the new toys, plus a list of the ones I have.
FIRST! Obi-Wan's is NOT limited. There are PLENTY of them out here by me (yes the AOTC electronic one) for around $25. If anyone's still interested, I can probably pick one up and you'd just have to pay for shipping.
SECOND! There are two different levels of "cheap toys" that have been made. There are the cheap ones that are all the same model with 4 different color blades, OR the Rubies version that are true to characters and only light up. Rubies HAS made a Mace Windu purple lightsaber, (very nice) and they're on eBay now. You can pick one up for around $25 and they retail for $10 or so. The OTHER hilt that looked like Mace's that had a blue blade ACTUALLY makes sense! In Ep 1 his lightsaber was blue, and in Ep 2 it was purple. There's a story behind that that you can read about at StarWars.com in the Ask Jedi Council section. I think it's under June or July to Jocusta Nu.
LAST! My lightsabers! ;D -Anakin Electronic Blue (ep 2) -Count Dooku Electronic Red (ep 2) -Cheap purple general one (ep 2 line) -Qui-Gon Jinn Electronic Green (ep 1) -Rubies light up Qui-Gon Jinn (ep 1) -Darth Maul Electronic Red (ep 1) -Rubies light up Darth Maul (ep 1) -Luke Skywalker Electronic Green (ep 6) (broken) -Gold plumbing equipment suddenly become. . . A JEDI'S WEAPON! My own creation.
That's all I got. [/shadow]

If memeory serves me [which half the time it doesnt] the reason Mace had a different color saber was because the one in E1 wasn't his. It was acctually one of the others jedi's sabers and they each got their own back before E2.
