Gaffi Stick Pommel for Savi's Lightsabers
The way to attach the blade is actually kinda similar to how u would attach a katana blade to the handle. I find that really cool since this saber is looking like a katana.
The difference is that you're not meant to remove and attach a katana blade regularly. The design itself if sturdy and very katna-like. But the usability as a toy, ot so much.
Update: Looks like the non-signed Clone Wars sets will be released on the 19th at 8am Pacific. No word on whether or not D23 Gold is required. And the leftover Chosen One sets are now available at Dok Ondar's at Disneyland (not Disney World).
So you have to have gold membership for the signed version?
@@Coolbear101 Yup. And no word on whether that will be required for the non-signed version or not.
Hopefully the music for the chosen one box will be the credits from EP1. Where it is Anakin’s theme turns into Imperial March with breathing.
@@troumo I was voting for Weird Al. But it went your way not mine.
Sorry Im a little confused, so the Clone wars LE lightsaber set is only available online at August 12 for Gold members only and they will be signed? Then later on, we dont know when, the rest of us can buy it also online and all 3,000 sets will be signed? Am I getting it right?
You're right to be confused as the official communication around this has been really bad and changed a few times. Based on what we know now, the first 100 have been signed and will be abailable at the link in the description at 8am Pacific on the 12th. Once those sell out, there will likely be a separate listing for the other 2900 non-signed sets. Whether or not you'll need to be a D23 member for those, and exactly when they'll become available is currently anyone's guess. I'd recommend keeping the browser bookmark for a "lightsaber" query on DisneyStory.com readily available and check back often.
@@Fanporium any update for tomorrow?
@@TheRockster27 Nothing new. Just get online 20 minutes before it goes live, make sure you're already signed in, and keep refreshing until it puts you into the waiting room. Then hope for the best.

@@Fanporiumthanks, so those ones arent going to be signed by all 3 characters? Then for me is not worth it...
I really want the Anakin Padawan lightsaber for my attack of the clones set
I'm really hoping that one comes out as a grey box set after these sell out. But no idea if they will do that or not.
They should since they had the vote on that one 4 years ago and realessed all the sabers on that first vote except for the Anakin padawan and the other ornate saber
Good lord I wish I could get the Chosen one. I don’t know anybody going to D23 though
I would be surprised if they sell out at D23, considering how much other exclusive merch is there too, competing for people's dollars. With the D23 Obi-Wan set, it went to Disneyland about a week later and took several weeks to fully sell out. So the chances of finding a "smuggler" to get one for you from there should be better. Happy hunting!
My screw doesn't go all the way through the blade 🙃
You have to line the blade up to the groove and then make sure it's pushed all the way in, so that the hole in the blade connector lines up with the hole in the metal.Try wiggling it around a bit so the screw goes through without the hilt, then try it with the hilt.
@Fanporium so I tried sticking it through the blade by itself and it wouldn't fit. So I had to use a drill bit to make the hole bigger and now it's fine. Thanks for the advice though. Must have been a defect
@@apvalles34 very strange.
Dude this is so cool! I've spent the last day looking at the different options from different videos thinking of which set I want to build so this is super helpful 🔥💯
I'm so glad you're enjoying it!
a question. If I change Ahsoka and Obi Wan's sheet, does Ahsoka's sheet turn blue and Obi Wan's sheet white or how is that?
a question. If I change Ahsoka and Obi Wan's sheet, does Ahsoka's sheet turn blue and Obi Wan's sheet white or how is that?
@@MetalExtrem if you mean the blade, yes, the color is defined by the blade as it is colored plastic with white lights inside.
im very mad that the 35 dolla toy wont wont turn on when you try turning it on like the movie
The darksaber blade has been out of stock on the online Disney store for some time with no plans to restock it at this time. It is also impossible to find on the xecondary market.
True. But it's still available in the parks.
The elf version is very nice and imo worth the extra price.
They need ROTS anakin saber
@@thepickleanic Isn’t that what the blue “Rey” one was modeled after, and just mis-labeled since it was released at the same time as the sequels? www.disneystore.co.uk/disney-store-rey-detachable-lightsaber-toy-star-wars-461062071993.html
@@Fanporium on the US version of the disney store I cant find it
@@thepickleanic Yeah it’s been out of stock in the US for about a year. Only the non-removable-blade version is available in the parks. My theory was they were getting ready to rerelease it under Anakin branding, now that the yellow Rey one has that name. But it hasn’t happened yet. So we’ll see.
@@Fanporium hope it does
Dont need batteries?
@@diogodoutor1 It has a built-in lithium ion battery, which you can charge with the included USB cable.
I found out, the Kylo Ren blade does fit into the Rey hilt, but not vice versa.
@@lewismisselbrook5558 Fascinating! I’ll have to give that a try.
@@Fanporium do it, I’m curious because of the “H”fitting Reys has, maybe other blades will fit in the hilt? Would love to see your video covering it and trying to sand down the fittings to put any blade in any hilt. Much love ✌️
Hear me out… the forge are lightsaber lego. They are so cheap that you don’t have to feel bad about modifying or painting it. If you’re trying to make your own saber, and don’t really want to copy a character, then the forge are actually better than the Dstore sabers. The Dstore are second to none for Larp and are very cost friendly, but they aren’t compatible with each other, let alone the forge. I’ve even come up with a new electronic kit for the forge that runs off an arduino nano, a 28mm high quality speaker, an accelerometer, and a retractable full light blade(it uses small LED and flexible wire). So long story short: for LARP/cosplay/ playing with your kids: get the Dstore sabers. If you want to experiment with custom lightsabers and don’t want to spend $400 for a proffie/neopixel setup for each saber the the forge is worth it. By my math, you can have more than a dozen different lightsabers with the upgraded electronics for $500, or the price of one adult “proffie/neopixel” saber. So for the saber enthusiast who has $500 to spend you have 3 choices: all of the Dstore sabers, a dozen lightsaber forge and a decent “lightsaber lego” kit, or one adult saber.
That's a very fair point.
Only reason I bought the Disney Parks version is because the second lightsaber was included 😂
In my opinion, I preferred his one her double LIGHTSABERS in DUAL OF THE FATES
is there a way to get old parts?(the pre 2023 versions). i want to make a "lightsaber lego kit" and i need at least 2 of the frames. whats the cheapest way to get hooked up? i only have about $1,000 to spend.
Not from Disney directly. You're pretty much stuck with third party marketplaces. eBay usually has a lot available, but at very steep markups. Craigslist and Facebook can sometimes have some good deals, depending on who near you happens to be selling something (and how much they know about what it's worth). The Galaxy's Edge Discord has a retail+20% cap on what can be sold there, but that translates to the high demand things showing up less often. And there are a ton of Facebook groups and other places that I'm less familiar with.
I went there last month and missed so many things to buy.😭 My route was explore the galaxy’s edge and go on some rides and browse store along the way, then I remembered there should be a build your own saber somewhere, and asked one of the staff to take me there, which was my final activity in galaxy’s edge. When I did some research on the Savi’s saber today I wanted to see light sabers made by others, then I learned you can buy kyber crystals and saber mounts and more in the store, by the time I saw them I thought they were just some decoration items… 😭😭😭
Some of the items you can buy off Disney Store dot com (inventory changes frequently). But yeah, for a lot of the smaller items it's a matter of either getting them in the park, having someone else pick them up for you on their trip, or overpay for them on eBay/FB/etc.
This was an amazing review. I wanted to buy my niece a toy saber but had no idea what to get there are so many versions in the market even chines knock offs I searched for a toy saber review and your video is exactly what I needed
I'm so glad I could help! I just updated the video's description with links to the other sabers in this line that have been introduced since this was filmed, with both reviews and purchase links. Happy hunting!
Omg! Omg! This is a must for me! The chunky hilt from disney is very noticeable. I appreciate the comparison.
Sweet video! I Would love to see black series Kylo ren review!
I probably won't review the Kylo saber, as I'm not a huge fan of that hilt. But I have collected everyone else's reviews for each saber (including comparisons to other brands of the same hilt) over here. Enjoy! sabers.fanporium.com/pd/hasbro/force-fx-elite/kylo-ren-supreme-leader
Every time I've seen a review on a Hasbro Black Series saber, there is usually a ring that has to go over the blade to secure it. It's more work than it needs to be, but I guess the blade is secure. The ring can scratch up the blade over time. Though some sabers do come with a neat kyber crystal blade plug. Those blades for the Legacy and Savi's are nice: just twist and lock. If you have a Savi saber then you don't need to buy a blade since it'll work with any Legacy saber.
I have to give the slight edge to the Disney one. Easier to put the blades and even tho it’s a bit larger, the fact that for $40 more you get the shoto I feel it’s a no-brainer. Hasbro does kill it with how the blade ignites tho. Great comparison!!!
I don't understand getting only one Ashoka saber when it suppose to be a set. Also that finish doesn't do it for me. It looks like a Matte paint in the video. Great review though!!!
@@robertcruz5507 Teah, they did the same with her Clone Wars hilt. I’m disappointed but not surprised. At least with this one you can kinda justify it by saying it’s Ahsoka after her shoto was destroyed. But I doubt they knew that was coming when they made this.
I dont understand CZcams honestly. I type in; "Black Series Force Fx Ahsoka" then I filter to uploaded this week. And your video doesn't appear. But when I turn off the recently uploaded filter, scroll down half a page of old videos, your video is there amongst them.
@@Ding-2014 Probably because I don’t have “black series” as a keyword and the date limit likely makes it get more selective on a full match. I’ll add that in later today and see if it makes a difference.
Great review! That blade system is AWFUL! Was looking forward to mine arriving but can already see the rage blackout coming when I go to connect the blade mid-review 😂
@@order66collectibles It’s really a shame, too. Because other than that and the price, it’s a really nice saber.
Great review! Always appreciate the comparisons! I’m still happy with my v2’s, as it spends the majority of the time as a display piece, I don’t mind the size, it makes them more visible from a distance. More accurate is always ideal, but it’s at least good value deal!
I am very interested in seeing if dremeling out the post allows other blades to work!!
Can you please release the video that enables blade switching?
I used to have all of these when I was a kid, now they’re all lost in time like tears in rain…
The good news is they're all still available. AND they have removable blades now. AND they've added a bunch of new hilts. Adulthood can rock sometimes. sabers.fanporium.com/pd/disney/toy-fx-removable-blade
@@Fanporium Holy crap, that's so awesome!!! I can never find these things anywhere! Thanks so much!
@@couchpotato274 Glad to help! Most of them are usually available on DisneyStore.com.
You could also try using a hair dryer to warm the glue under the sticker before trying to peel it off.
NO F'KING WAY!!!!
Yes way!
@@Fanporium That is sick, dude!
@@Fanporium More prequel love!
The fact that the US and EU stores don't carry the same sabers is so annoying. Yoda's and Kylo Ren's have been out of stock almost since they were released over here, but are available in the US store. Kylo's is a nice to have, but Yoda's is a must, specially since it is so far the only green blade available. I have all the others and they are Disney's best offering. I agree that the different connectors are silly. There is a non-destructive way to switch blades. The base of the blade can be disassembled. Then you only need to swap the pieces and it works. I've tried with a few and they all work just fine. Some blades are harder to disassemble though.
I've had mine since it was released and it's probably the best one they've made so far.
I got the General Release version, and I LOVE it! Definitely one of my top five favorite lightsabers I have in my collection, my first crossguard lightsaber, and I can use it with AND without the side blades when the main blade is installed.
It really is a fantastic saber. Can you believe the box set version is on sale for £180 on the UK right now? Shame they won’t shop overseas.
@@Fanporium Wow. Won’t even ship overseas? That’s crazy.
@@thomasselbe2892 It makes sense. They have the US site to ship to US and the European site to ship there. It’s just a little annoying when the thing you want is in stock one place and not the other. Although with a discount like this it’s almost enough to keep an eye out for a cheap flight. Almost. lol
Dooku, Quigon, Padawan Obi, Padawan Ani, Sidious, CW Ahsoka
do the lights and sounds stay on? mine keeps turning off automatically after a few seconds
You probably still have it in demo mode. There’s a switch on the hilt for on / demo / off.
@@Fanporium found it thank you! galaxy’s edge guy didn’t mention that!
You missed one important part. The idle humming constantly stops and restarting in every 5 or 10 second maybe? I cant remember. Which is so annoying, when you didnt move or hit someting. Just turn on and hang up to your table. For me, its very dissapointing.
Ahh, I see that you mean. There's definitely a slight dip in the audio when it loops, rather than a continuous background hum. The other ones definitely do a better job of masking the transition. Good catch!
Both look horrible inaccurate. It baffles me that Disney can´t do what custom saber shops do for years right.
What do you mean inaccurate? That is Darth Maul's lightsaber.
Product development is all about tradeoffs. Custom makers don't have to worry much about usability or liability, as they target a very small market of mostly adult enthusiasts. So they can get away with thinner hilts that use teeny tiny retention screws for blade attachment. Disney targets the mass market and is under extreme legal scrutiny, so they have a higher usability and liability threshold. That's why you see them using the thicket but easier to use blade push-and-twist blade connectors. Doesn't require metal tools or swallow-able screws, but means you get a slightly chunkier hllt. The tradeoff also usually involves doubling the price of the third-party sabers, as Disney uses simpler electronics and mass manufacturing to keep costs as reasonable as possible, while third party manufacturers can't scale as effectively. And for kids, the third party market doesn't have anything even remotely as accurate of feature-rish as these Disney Store toys FX ones at anywhere close the the $34 price point. They're a pretty phenomenal bang for your buck, if you ask me.
What are you expecting? For a cheap $35 toy to have multi hundred $ custom made saber quality?
I’m hoping to get this one for my birthday. I got the Obi Wan lightsaber at Goodwill for $5 and it works perfectly. Best $5 spent.
Would love to see Disney release a Palpatine and Count Dooku Lightsabers.
and a qui gon lightsaber
@@joedaylighttrains ...oh yeah, Qui Gon be a great one too.
Temple Guard toy version sounds fantastic
Just finished collecting these when they were on sale a couple of weeks ago. Love them! I, too, hope they would make Luke's green saber and Dooku's curved hilt.
Red Anakin 🤔
Fun fact. Hasbro's old Ultimate FX series (which these ones are Disney's version of) included an Anakin saber that would let you change the black color from blue to red and back.
