Yip,... I received mine thids evening.
At first when I took it out of the box, it felt cold so it looked like metal.
Also it felt verry big.
Yes, when you put the Ani side by side, it is a bit shorter, but that's also makes him look thicker.
Also the grips give it an enormous big feeling.
I thought this saber was smaller than the Ani, but NO.
It is verry light, and that makes the blade to heavy for it.
When I swing with it, it sounds like it would snap off the hilt verry easy.
It is verry creacky.
After holding it in my hand for a while the hilt gets warm, and yes,... it feels verry plastic.
I'm not entirely sure of it, but when my kids hold it in their hands, they say the same thing.
We all are verry glad that I didn't sold my Ani, because I've putted this new saber back into the box and place it on the internet for the same amount that I've payed for, including shipment and tax.
That's €106,-- it is much cheaper than buying it in a store here for €139,--.
My son didn't dare to play with this one, because he was afraid it would brake easely.
He always played with the other sabers.
It is better than the Hasbro's because of the electronics, but that's it.
The brightness is a tiny bit better than my Ani but only because of the inner film, but it's almost nothing.
I expected more, because of the two year time difference between this Luke ANH and my Ani, and progress that they could have made.
The sound is dimmer than my Any too.
When I think about the battery 'bottom-cap, I would say,... this hilt has to be aluminium, because its hard to put the cap in and I think it wont survive a five times battery change when the hilt is plastic and the bottom-cap is metal.
I'm not going to check this again because the box is nisely closed now for the selling, and I don't care anymore.
This saber was a real bummer for me.
It gave me a lot of respect for my Anakin ROTS do.
I have the later version.
The first edition was verry light too.
I did hold it ones in a moviestore.
I would say I give it a 4 out of 10.
I also would advise, not to buy this one.
I'm going for a Obi-Wan ROTS now. That one is fully metal.
Ohh and YES I also received my full Maul and that one is awsome.
It feels like the real thing.
