My goal here is not to sound like a know-it-all but to help anyone who needs to know something about an FX. I know im not a mod or anything, but here i think is a good idea to post any questions etc. on Force FXs. I own 6 and have some since '04 and i know quite a few things about them. I know that there are many things about Force FXs that i dont know and i think it would be great if some other people (mods, or people that know a lot about Force FXs) could come and help out with any problems people are having. Just thought it was a good idea MTFBWY

I will try to help out as much as I can. I currently own quite a few Force FX sabers and in many cases, multiples of the same ones. I have really only had problems with them after dueling with them too much. I have had many "dark spots" from dead LED's from playing too rough with them. I do have one question. I bought an Obi-Wan FX when it came out not too long ago. My Obi-Wan is brighter than my Anakin which was also brand new. Is the technology in the Obi-Wan FX superior to the Anakin ROTS?

About being a "know-it-all", hey, if you are knowledgeable on a subject, don't accuse yourself of being a know-it-all. If you have knowledge, by all means use it. I know alot about costume sources but I don't think of myself as a know-it-all, I use my knowledge to help others achieve the look that they strive for. That is my true goal. To help others on this site. Believe it or not, I am still searching for the manufacturer of a Yoda sleeper costume I saw on a baby this year. I have had several of my friends ask me about it and I can't seem to find the source. It is crazy that I know where to find canon costumes, but yet cannot find the source of the Yoda sleeper costume. LOL!

i have both obi-wan and anakin and i see the slight difference in blade brightness. i do think the obi-wan is a little more advanced than the anakin, but im not sure. make sure your running a fresh set of batteries on both bc i just put fresh batteries in both of them and the difference is even less..my anakin is from last year around this time and i think MR upped the technology for the Obi. If anyone knows anything about this, please post! thanks

Hi guys!! I have an obi-rots and an anakin rots and I don't think one is brighter than the other. The big difference is the sound .I think my ears are telling me that the anakin is much louder than the obi-wan.Just my thought.DaJoQuim

i agree...the anakin sound is more aggresive and the obi sound is like a purr compared to the anakin.. i think the brightnes problem im seeing is an illusion due to some little dark spots in my anakin from dueling

What would be better when it comes to battles, the MasterReplicas or UltraSabers. I know UltraSabers are quite costy and have more choices, but MasterReplicas look a lot better.

MR sabers are better looking and more true to the films then the ones that ultra sabers make from scratch. MR sabers can get broken leds if you duel too much and there are not good for dueling. you can duel with them, but they will get beat up..i duel with mine and i dont mind a few scuffs on the blade. if you send a MR saber to Ultrasabers or Jedi saber smith, they will hook it up to be the ultimate dueling machine. It will have an MR hilt and the company you send it to will put an extended emmiter and you will be able to attach and detach blades that are very sturdy for dueling. the company will put a bright luxeon system into your saber, and with a fiber optic blade, they look awesome. go to Jedisabersmith.com or Ultrasabers.com or even FX-sabers.com to see some of these guys work with MR sabers. it is 100 on Jsabersmith for a conversion and im not sure about anywhere else. good luck and MTFBWY

If you don't want to send your lightsaber to ultra saber to convert;you can buy the whole saber from them for about 189.00.Check out their web site and you'll see what I'm saying.DaJoQuim

I'm getting a FX Saber for Christmas, and I plan on sending it to UltraSabers as soon as I pop an LED. I was wondering which saber was better all-around, the Darth Vader Ep. V, or the Obi-Wan Ep. III?
