I just got my 3rd official lightsaber yesterday and wow....
I'm appalled at the poor quality.
It is a 2010 MR FX Luke ANH removable blade.
I have a MR LE Anakin ROTS hilt as my main 'baby'.
I've had a 2005 MR FX Anakin ROTS fixed blade for years now and have always loved it. I'm in the process of converting it to a removable blade actually.
But the basic feel of the hilt itself. It feel twice the weight of the 2010 and metal itself seems of such higher grade.
The 2010 feel....cheap, for lack of a better word. I'm actually regretting spending $130 when it feels like something that would be closer to half that price.
Unscrewing the pommel then screwing it back on actually takes some time for the thread to catch. The battery/speaker pack feels like $0.99 squirt gun plastic.
The blade plug is the same. It feels like if my 2 year old daughter were to squeeze it it would snap.
I'm just really, really disappointed in the quality of the 2010 after having the 2005 for so long.
I'm almost considering returning it.
