They have motion sensors in them as well. Probably more for the faint of heart since this is <b>much</b> more involved. However the pay off is worth it, since you can say YOU BUILT YOUR OWN LIGHTSABER!!! Have you seen those fx lightsabers they have? They have motion sensors in them as well.

It's really cool to see a father and son work together and share their love of "Star Wars." My dad doesn't even know what "Star Wars" is! Very, very cool job, guys. It’s really cool to see a father and son work together and share their love of “Star Wars.” My dad doesn’t even know what “Star Wars” is!

I might have to try one of these. If for no other reason as to compare it to our TCSS creations. Plus it'll allow me to try adding a Hasbro soundbroad :) And if you go to the <a href="http://www.saberforge.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">Saber Forge website</a>, you can see that their lightsabers are expensive as well (esp if you have them add electronics and sound).

But overall, the TCSS forums are a good place for newbies to begin learning about saber-smithing. Yes, I have heard of modifying a MR saber or stealing parts from a broken one. We might give that a try as a future project. Dave ThePhantomMenace,

I Don't like TCSS allot of the members were very very harassing towards me on the forum because i didn't agree with someone's opinion on a rivalling saber technology company. I repeatedly told them to Stop bringing it up, but they persisted and upped the vulgarity, till i retaliated by unleashing the horrors of Japanese shock imagery because it was just escalating to disgusting levels of vulgar abuse and pestering over something that wasn't a big deal in the first place (Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and just because the person in question was a founding member doesn't mean i should have his view on Hyperdyne forced upon me) Nice you two had fun building your sabers at least. you can allways convert the MR sabers, or put the MR soundboards in them did you know about that? I have to disagree with you.
