@@bluesarmory they make a good project, I actually learned how to do pipe welding by making them, I haven't managed anything exceptionally fancy in terms of electronics, just the sort of thing you could stick a broom pole in and whack each other with so far, did get told off over the PA at work once for fighting along the edge of an inspection pit, was fun 😂
On Aliexpress I bought a short "pixel" lightsaber that actually had a LED strip inside of the blade. It was around $25 so I had a lot of doubts that it was a "pixel" blade but it surprised me. Now I'm pretty sure its not exactly a neopixel, but it sure does 80% of the job for a fourth of the price of a budget neopixel. The sound was exactly like the sabers featured here and it came in either a grey silver or a black color. If you want a cheap LED saber, try and find that one. Cons are that the soundboard is shit and the blade is pretty short (which may be a pro, to each their own) Edit: It's a 21 inch blade last time I measured it
@@adamalarcon4973 sounds like maybe 1 step up from the ones I bought but I’ll keep and eye out for those, there are some deals to be had on these websites - if you get out The “Frugal Jedi” on RUclips he’s got some reviews of actual neopixel sabers from TEMU/Aliexpress that are actually legit for around 120 dollars
I have 2 lightsabers from Temu. The skinny grey one(with windows in the emitter)6:22. As well as another with a black hilt, smooth swing, and 4 sound fonts. The sound fonts include Luke Epi5, Obi-wan Epi3, Kylo Ren Epi8, and Ahsoka's white sabers from Rebels. I recommend getting the second one it's $27 to $30.
I originally got two gold sabers from temu which could be double bladed. They were ok but my issue was that the color never stuck meaning I had to manually change it every time I used it. Eventually they both died and I got a replica of Luke’s lightsaber from Saber Custom. It’s amazing and has so many color and sound options.
I live pretty pretty close to WDW so i go to galaxys edge pretty offten which means my lightsaber collection is always growing. I know with what ive spent on my entire collection i couldve bought 2 or so really high end neopixel sabers but i have a preference for official merch and about 90% the time my sabers just sit on display stands. They disney/hasbro sabers are at a good enough quality that id take the quantity over quality of a neopixel
the fourth lightsaber has been updated its on shien and from what i've heard from friends the sound is better now my two in one set arrives tomorrow so i guess i'lll see if the sound is changed otherwise i'll just take out the speaker i just need the light part for my fan film
Yer do a project. Would watch that. Could you put the electronics into a better hilt? Galaxys edge is fab. I didn't build my own saber as it was hard to justify the price to my other half! Ha.
I've thought about getting some electronics and making my own hilt as a project that might be fun. Also i got very lucky in that my lightsaber building experience was a gift from my other half!
Those to are junk. You get what you pay for. Can still get cheaper light sabers then the hasbro fx and disney ones that have more features, not all are junk on Temu or aliexpress, but yes have to watch what you buy
@@dennisrogers6786 yeah they are but I do think if you were buying them for kids to go whack around in the garden then they’re perfect I would have loved these as a kid
The disney and hasbro light sabers are junk, old tech compared to many of the cheaper ones from Aliexpress, etc, and come with sound fonts, colour changing and even some with an SD card, bluthooth or even programmable sound boards, as well as pixel blades, etc and many of these features are on the cheap lightsabers and run rings around the disney ones anyday
@@dennisrogers6786 I wouldn’t say the Disney sabers are junk especially as display pieces which are what mine are they look great. My Savis workshop saber will be my favorite saber always purely because of the experience and memories
@@bluesarmory While sure you get some memories buying them their effects and designs just cannot compare to third party lightsabers, not to mention the Disney lightsabers are RIDICULOUSLY overpriced.
@@finitoackermann yeah I agree that they’re expensive but all lightsabers are if I wanted to get the same Ashoka set from somewhere like Saber Theory you’re looking at like 600+ dollars and I paid 200 ish from the parks the ST ones are gonna be miles better but also it’s a 400 dollar difference so I’d expect that - the Disney Sabers do exactly what they need to do
NSabers and Galaxy sabers have some great budget lightsabers which are MILES better than anything on Temu, Alie express or Amazon. Padawan outpost is another great UK based saber seller
Honestly it's a little misleading saying neopixels are like $1000 when they're really more like $250+ (Usually looks to be around $250 to $500, though the super accurate replicas of movie hilts are pricy.) Still kinda expensive but not prohibitively so, but I think an important point. I've seen some people get them for crazy cheap from the right places. Good video other than that. I was surprised to see you only have 222 subs. Also you can technically build a neopixel yourself with about $80 USD for all the electronics, you just need to be able to solder. I'm planning to eventually install electronics in a bunch of my hardware store sabers. Anyways I'm a bit tipsy and rambling, have a nice day youtube man.
@@SpartanS117C yeah I totally agree I think my point was more how expensive they can get there’s definitely some more affordable options out there totally agree with you
@@bluesarmory I've seen some absurd prices for replicas, but most of those have been Graflex flashgun conversions. Saw one for like 3k and was flabbergasted. Could buy a car or some really nice music gear with that.
@@jaap1989 no I agree with that but I made this point in another comment is they're not meant to be super accurate (and expensive) sabers they're meant to be accessible sabers for everyone
5:55 whatever you do do not leave that thing alone when its charging yesterday it blew up on me making a loud and bright flash or spark before it died and heated up a shitton
@@MokurohGaming I do like Rey, do I think she was the best written character across the films, no. But as a character I do like her and the impact she’s had on kids and getting them into Star Wars
To be fair it is good to have a female protagonist buttt. I feel like Star Wars is getting a little more… girly. (Too many of this in nowaday Star Wars)
@@Dragonballuca Episodes 1-6, Andor, Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, Solo are all male dominated pieces of content, Star Wars is for everyone so if there’s some more female led content I see that as a good thing

A 21 inch blade is more of a lightmachete than a lightsaber
