2010 Economy Hasbro Anakin saber (August Release)

[Rhyen Skytracker]

I got one of the new, new 2010 economy hasbro sabers today. (The August 2010 release) The saber is exactly the same except in a different box and it looks like there may be a Yoda with this release. And the DVD is the same as the old one.  Anyway, here is a video of it.  Looks and sounds exactly the same as the earlier 2010 Economy Hasbro sabers.

That sound is indeed very impressive.
Unbelievable that this comes out that toy saber.
Thanks for sharing.

I've gotta feeling that if I were to build a saber, this would be the board of my choice (due to price and availablity).

I'm not surpriced if those 2010 FX soundboards and the new Economy boards are the same, except for the speaker and stuff.
This soundboards sounds really good.

These don't sound quite as good as a FX.  Plus these still have the very short time out feature and while on it will blink for a split second I guess to simulate an occasional flicker effect.  The LED output is VERY low and you have to use the transistor set up to power a LED.  I use the TIP42 PNP transistor and it works great.

well thanks for this post ryhan, the work and study you are putting into using this sound board as a good solution to the general sound card shortage is much appreciated , thanks.

No problem.  I am glad to help.  I try to pay back some of the help I have gotten form this forum.

Yoda is now available - saw one in Walmart yesterday.  Hilt is pretty big for a Yoda.

May go back and purchase it, if I do I'll post pics.
