I'm trying to look at it like the glass is half full.  Granted, there is no reason for them to use Vadersfx,  they might as well have recorded sounds of the Millenium Falcon taking off and used those.  But everything else about the saber is great.  Optimism.  The sounds can be changed, but it will cost money to get the parts from another FX.  That's the only downside I can think of.

I agree, Malak. At first I was really disappointed about the sounds (I still am). Like I said before, if MR can acquire access to Lucasfilm's props to create their LEs, then there's no reason they can't nail the proper sounds for a FFX. And then to go on and market the sounds as being from TPM is flat out false advertising. But that aside, I am excited to have a new red saber... and a double-bladed one at that! I'm sure I'll get past the sounds once I try it out and see how cool everyone that's reviewed it says it is. I really can't wait until it comes out next week. :)

It did take me some time to get over it.  I just thought about how great everything else about the saber is.  MR still hasn't made a perfect one(each one has flaws, some worse than others).  In this case its the sounds and that's it.  I don't guess we should have expected Maul sounds after the Luke ROTJ sounds disappointed.  Just having the Maul is going to make me really want the rest of the TPM sabers to be made into FX form.  Just think how awesome an Obi TPM FX will be.  Something about those big red buttons on the TPMs I just love.  I hope they don't make the AOTC version instead.

I think we get the point now that you dont like the sounds of the MAUL.

Actual sounds from TPM wouldve been nice but I dont understand this deal with I already have another Vader, blah, blah blah. This isnt a Vader, this is a Maul. It may have Vader sounds, but its a totally new hilt, new sound/battery pack, improved blade and so on, yet its still just a Vader? C'mon man, it may reuse Vader's sounds but to keep calling it just another Vader is selling it far short. When all you can say about it is that it uses Vader sounds, over and over and over, your not helping anyone anymore.

I understand being dissappointed, but when is enough useless posts about "oh, its got vader's sounds" enough? 5 or so is understandable, but 15 or 20 saying exactly the same thing is a waste of everybody's time.

In case you have not noticed I done saying what I needed to say about the Maul, if you get it congrats, if I get and I say if, I will post a review whether you agree or disagree with it is up to you, now I am done talking about the sounds.
