    Default how to disasssemble hasbro toy lightsaber?

    Hi, I have spent hours searching the forums trying to find help on how to disassemble a toy lightsaber but very surprisingly I have come up empty handed. I have a hasbro vader force action lightsaber that I want to remove the soundboard from but after removing all the screws I am stuck as the top part of the saber hilt will not come apart. I would like to know how best to take this apart with minimal or preferably no damage as i want to be able to continue using the toy without the sounds if I can. This is one area where you can't beat experience, I don't want to ruin the saber to learn how to take it apart so if i can benefit from somebody elses experience it would be much appreciated.

    i cut the saber emitter on either side, pretty much no other way to get the saber apart otherwise. you can still put it back together and play with it.

    they really went overboard on the glue - you'll have to cut or dremel it apart.

    Default where to cut

    Thanks, I thought if I had to cut i might be able to cut just one 1/2. So where is the best place to cut to avoid damaging the internals?

    Default still where to cut

    I have extended the blade so I don't cut through that when i use my hacksaw, now i just need to sort out where to cut, I'm thinking maybe just above the bottom black part of the hilt, just as the silver plastic starts?

    a hacksaw? O.o the board is right in there... try and cut along the seams of the main body parts, but only as deep as that outer ring.

    Hi Kiwijedi
    I live in NZ too and have been learing about making a saber myself. I live in Wellington, have done some research into what you can get here in the way of lasers etc seems like TCSS have far better prices than what we can get here eg jaycar. Just a mater of price of shipping from there to here.

    I have brought a hasbro obi wan to dismantle and plan to make a force unleashed 2 look a like.

    Default laser lightsaber?

    Hi Canister, by lasers I presume you mean led's unless you are doing something really advanced and exotic. Like you I have also just bought a hasbro obi and I got a vader as well, both are 2006 force action type, I think the toy itself sucks, there are better ones than this model, although for parts like we need it sounds like it is one of the best of the toy ones. I have only taken the vader apart so far.

    haha yeah I mean star Led's 3w and 1w, its worth checking out but they dont have the 5' lens.

    I have been playing with the MHS builder for almost a 2 weeks and getting close to ordering. Reading the posts its a bit of an unknown for shipping costs, have you got any further with that?
