I don't know how long these have been in existence, but I recently came across this site while looking for an inexpensive lightsaber. I like their idea of simulating the extension of the blade with neon gas, but it sounds just a little too good to be true. Anyway here's the site so you can check them out. www.amazing1.com/star_wars_light_saber.htm

STAY AWAY FROM PLASMA!!!!!!! They look super cool, but they are ULTRA fragile!!!! So unless you want it to hang on a wall, I'd avoid the plasma blades. Currently, about the best thing you can get is EL blades like you get from Lightech Industries and Parks. You can actually carry those around with you and even whack em in moderate dueling.

Not that fragile. Can't duel with it but they look awesome in pictures when ignighted. A guy at Dragon COn had one(He was Qui Gon) it made my EL look dim in comparison and it was indoors with the lights on. Plasmas are good for photo shoots, and controlled environments like that. Around cons, keep if off and in your hand until you get photographed. It look about as real a sabre as they come.

Well if I can't fight with one then I suppose I shouldn't buy one. Isn't that why most of us buy the lightsabers anyway? However they do look neat. But as I said on the "Hilts" board I need something that is pretty cheap.

A dueling sabre is good. Now too bad we'er all farflung. Or the lot of us could practice.

You also wouldn't want to break you blade by accident.
Parks has a new saber that is supposed to be brighter than his other models. Anyone seen it?
