Has anyone bought the new Hasbro FX sabers yet? I need to know if they are the same as the MR ones as far as conversion kits etc go.

They are rumored to be exact copies of the MR sabers. I haven't seen any threads posted by people who have actually taken them apart though

Hasbro has them as well (.com).
As near as all my sources told me... it's simply all the back stock of MRs "repackaged". Gay as heck... but... I'm going to imagine that they are identical for conversion purposes. Still... I don't know for certain, although I'm sure a "review" video will pop up on y-tube soon enough.

I know someone on fx-sabers has one maybe they could be persuaded to disassemble it for dimensions.

I bought two of the Episode V Vaders and two of the Episode III Obi-Wans. I took apart one of the Vader sabers using the conversion tut here. I found that they are the same as the MR sabers. There was only a slight cosmetic change on the outside of the hilt which allows you to skip a step. I hope that Hasbro is making them (using the same molds and electronics) and that they're not just MR backstock relabeled/reboxed. IMHO they are not something that should be discontinued.

I thought I read that Ultra said the existing conversion kits would work in the new ones. Don't know if he meant his DIY kits or the metal bladeholder types.
