I must say, I love mine, too. It's my first non-toy light saber, and it's kinda remarkable to think Hasbro made this thing, The activation switch feels toylike. But, the rest of it is very solid-feeling. The triangular indicators are pro-looking; embedded in the aluminum like they were real indicator lenses, and not just stuck on the surface. The screws next to them are real. The sound is great, too, both in level and quality.
Got the kid a pair of the $30 plastic ones while we were at Disney, too. Cause he wanted to duel and I couldn't imagine banging away with my 15-year old using a brand-new ROTJ...
The toy ones seem to have a surprisingly sophisticated electronics package (performance-wise, have yet to open one up) in them too for the price. Impressive.
