I was just wondering one thing, it might sound dumb, but do the luxon mod FX sabers still light up like they do in the movies, like a igniting effect?
I figure they don't, but just thought I'd ask... I'd love to see what one looks like when it does light up, as this was the major appeal for the FX sabers for me. But now I've broken out several of my LED's from duels and even cracked my ESB Luke's blade (some clear packing tape holds it together now), and so I'm considering just taking it apart and re-soldering the LED's and replacing where necessary.
I actually do have my own Luxon stars that I bought back in 2002 when I first heard about this sort of thing on ASAP Dewback wing, but wonder about the light up effects that may have advanced since I last read about LED saber blades.
Any advice? I'm strongly considering a new blade casing, the FX ones are too brittle for my needs. And I really love the light up effect and the sounds of the FX, perhaps a beefed up blade and redundant soldering would make it better?
