Greetings all -
First of all, let me apologize in advance for my lack of info/knowledge in the area.
I want to buy a Light Saber as an upcoming special gift for a Star Wars fan to mark a special occasion. I am looking for some basic guidance and assistance. I have been doing some Google searchers over the past little while gathering information, when I discovered this site. Hopefully I can get some direct insight and feedback from the members of this board who might be able to help me out.
Based on my research to date, I beleive that "Master Replicas" used to make the FX light sabers, and now Hasbro makes them. Is that correct? Since I am on a tight budget, a highly "Collectible" (i.e. expensive) older Master Replica Light Saber is not an option. I am therefore guessing that a newer Hasbro option is my best choice?
Also, the biggest issue is that I am located in Canada. I am therefore looking for a place to buy a Light Saber online, that won't cost me a fortune to ship. Amazon.com doesn't ship these products to Canada, which is unfortunate as their shipping prices to Canada are reasonable.
Therefore, I am looking for some basic suggestions. Where should I be looking to buy? Any suggestions? Any recommendations as to which would be a good Light Saber to get? Or one to avoid? Anything else to look out for?
Thanks in advance.
