Looks like the only thing announced was the Ultimate Maul. No Force FX anything. Maybe Hasbro is dropping the FX line and focusing on the cheap Ultimate series. We may have to rely on the readily available aftermarket saber manufacurers and customs.

Unfortunately, there was nothing announced regarding the Force FX line. First, nothing was shown at New York Comic Con, and now, nothing at Toy Fair. This is quite disheartening, and makes me a bit worrisome for the line.

I searched high and low all over the Net for any news on new Force-FX offerings and was disappointed to find absolutely nada. If a Qui Gon was ever a possibility, now would have been the time.  Looks like that's one saber we'll never see.

People have been saying that for years.  This doesn't bode well for the line.

The green UFX sabers aren't bad when it comes to the LEDs.  Definitely the best of the lot.  I just can't get over that plastic Qui Gon hilt!  >:(

Nah, Hasbro's done fine.  We got a few great sabers and a few terrible ones - who here even owns a Ventress? - but overall, they're kinda running out of well known lightsabers to make.  All good things...
