$200 Lightsaber
So when I saw that Disney had a $200 lightsaber at Galaxy's Edge I was like "Pffft! That is RIDICULOUS! $200 for a lightsaber?!?!".
I have just watched some videos on it and damn it looks like a cool experience building it and it looks awesome! Am I nuts for wanting to buy one?! |

I always live by the philosophy that you regret what you didnt do far more than the regrets you have for what you have done.
Go for it i say |

Saw a vlog on the droid yesterday and just wondered how you would get it home 🤔. Not sure regarding the batteries fitted.

I wonder what issues there will be getting them home. I believe the blade by itself is 34" long so greater than the diagonal on a max size checked case and hand luggage limits (eg Virgin). Would it be classed as another item (e.g. purse etc) that they allow in the cabin?

Unless I've forgotten pythagoras, they'll fit diagonally (max size of (35.5h x 29.5w x 16d) gives a diagonal of 40.5) - I know we've managed to fit Chris's crutches in before.
And yeah - before videos, "I'm not spending $200 on a lightsaber" After videos? "Shut up and take my money!" /Mo |

Ah - flew Air Canada last year and my case just fitted their total linear limit of 158cm. Hadn't spotted Virgin was much more generous. My dusty old calculator gives 48.8" as (external) diagonal. Case does expand so may have to resort to empirical methods (with a cutdown old broom handle) to see what fits. Not travelling until November so no doubt will find out peoples' experiences in the coming months

I'm getting myself a lightsaber too, may look at getting it shipped home if virgin won't let me take it on board as cabin baggage, they didn't reply to my tweet asking them
