Anakin Force FX Lightsaber Part III

OK, this morning, I have successfully removed the saber blade completely. I was hesitant because of the two metal pins which after trying to figure it out, the Internet just said to use a hammer and a rod.....

Circuit board which houses the sound effects.

Ribbon cable is to light the LEDs in the blade.

LEDs in the blade. Aha!

Epoxied the smash sensor. Now its more

sensitive. But still a bit weird. No point

going out to find another sensor as they

usually do not fit in there.

Finally, at 16:58, it is more or less complete. All I need

now is some weak glue to put the panel and the two

buttons together. End result is that the toy is more

responsive than before but occasionally, it has its

moments. One day, I shall go and have a look at

this sensor but not right now. I am tempted to get

one for myself but then again, there are other things

to think about.

Wife did have a look at the toy and tested it. But no comments, except after a few swings and hits, was her, "Is that it?". I had the same moment when I held it, swung it and hit it for the first time too.

"Is that it?"

Then again, maybe I am not a real Star Wars fan. Its just business.
