4 out of 5 stars THE COLOR PAPER ON THE BLADES IS ONLY FOR IN BOX DISPLAY!   November 12, 2008

The paper on the blades is only there to give the customer an idea of what they'll look like after you take them out of the box, unwrap them and turn them on. The paper is not meant to be kept on!
I've had these for a few weeks. I bought them for my daughter and I to use when we play the most recent Star Wars games. They look very cool. Using them makes game play feel more realistic and enjoyable. It's obviously not going to be as comfortable to hold as a wii remote is. My daughter really likes them too but she says it might take some time to get used to because they feel heavy. She's 7.




5 out of 5 stars Best sabers availble for now   November 10, 2008

The paper covering the blades is for packaging purposes only. Once you put the batteries in and turn it on, you have a beautiful blue and red saber (blades are white when turned off). They are easy to use and make game play that much more fun. They are sturdy and have the look of a real saber hilt. I have purchased another brand of Wii sabers prior to these and they were way to fragile and broke within a couple days. Breaking them was my fault cause I hit something, but I have accidently done that with these as well, and they were just fine. I dont recommend hitting objects though, eventually they will break. These sabers are much sturdier and have a way better glow then the others. If you want a saber for your wii, then these are it.

The look and design of this saber is actually pretty well done but when you start using the saber it feels heavy and chunky you will get tired of it fast! The paper covering the blade that has been mentioned by other reviews was intended to be removed before play, there are actual LEDs inside the blade that lights up red for one and blue for the other, so it is not as cheaply made as they said. With the saber attached to the Wii remote it makes the remote none responsive to the screen, you might swing the saber a few time before it moves one time...I have return this item... Do not buy it!!


3 out of 5 stars Using The Wii Force   November 6, 2008

When it comes down to the Nintendo Wii, many gamers love the way we can play our games. But, for Star Wars fanatics, they really want to feel like they are using the force on the Wii, because of the acclaim of the new Star Wars: The Clones video game. The Thrustmaster Glow Sabers for the Wii, which were designed specifically for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, bring in a excitement of gameplay on the Wii that hard core Jedi's had wanted, but there honestly here is a lot of limitations with the sabers. While the efforts of seeing them glow in the dark, make it exciting for Wii gamers, they are very clunky, and are hard to control when playing the game. While they cost around $30 for the Wii, they just don't completely feel like you are using the force with the Wii.

1 out of 5 stars Very cheap and junky!   November 4, 2008

OK wow are these cheaply designed. The actual "color" coverings are a piece of paper taped, yes taped with 2 pieces of scotch tape onto white plastic. They are designed so poorly, as soon as we used them the color paper covering flew accross the room and the dog got it! HAHA they lasted all of 5 minutes. Dont waste your money!! What a piece of junk!
