I just did this last week and all I can say is it was definitely worth it for me. If you are a Star Wars fan and always wanted to build a lightsaber, you should take advantage of this awesome experience.
I’m going to Disney in May with my boyfriend and we’re going to do this. We’re doing it for the star wars experience rather than the actual light saber, so I’m glad you came out with this video because we were scared it wasn’t going to be worth it for the price. Are the light sabers heavy or do they feel like store bought ones? Also, is it mainly for children or is it an experience that we can appreciate as well?
It truly is an experience that anyone can enjoy. Especially Star Wars fans. The light saber quality is actually amazing. I was taken back how good the quality turned out to be. Not disappointed after spending $200. The show, the experience, all of it, got me right in the feels.
Also I am very excited to hear that you are going! I get excited when friends go on these kinds of trips because I know how much fun they’re going to have!
@@TheCampbellChronicles Oh wow that’s awesome!! I’m very excited! If we like it we’re going to do the build a droid experience at the Droid Depot the next time. It was too costly to do both LOL!
DISCLAIMER: I just got mine. He didn't really elaborate on the quality. I say just save your money for a top-market 600 dollar one. The Saber ignites in segments quickly, it is NOT a seamless ignition, and the waving doesn't register to the Saber sometimes, it's extremely dim (very very disappointing), and lastly there's a bad delay on tapping things and half the time it can't tell you're hitting anything. The experience was pretty cool. I'll shout that from the rooftops. The experience was, well, quite an experience, but the product is just shit.
I just did one. Really my son just built one two days ago. We’ve gone several times to Disneyland and gotten a few legacy lightsaber. He’s never gotten to build one. So we’ve went to Disney Hollywood Studios and built one their. The build experience was far worth it, just seeing my Kid’s expression. However, the your description on quality is spot on. Maybe I’m a bit OCD but the parts don’t really align perfectly with parts put together. Although they screw and lock tightly together. The internal chassis and the decorative external pieces flex/wiggle at the joints. Just doesn’t feel solid when saying it around. Another thing thing to note, these things are heavy once put all together. Much more than any of the legacy sabers we own. Like mention above, the ignition isn’t seamless nor does it register all impacts. Our sabers spend more time as display pieces rather than in use, so no big deal to use. Another thing to note, they raised the price. It used to be be $219.99 for most legacy sabers / build experience 6 months ago, but now it’s $249.99. Also, for the price I wished they gave the option of choosing the blade length. For my kid, I like him to have the 26” , so it’s easier to stuff in the luggage.
Quality wise ? probably not. You can get more durable sabers from other companies but the experience of building it even though its a short presentation was worth it to me.
I'll be frank. Disney sabers are garbage. They still use two decades old tech that Master Replicas developed in 2002. Disney made no major improvements other then the removable rgb blades. The custom saber community has gone leaps and bounds forward with the same tech and offer much higher quality playback and overall experience. There are many options priced at or just above Disney sabers if one isn't inclined to spend more on the really good sabers. With the existence of these sabers Disney saber are simply not worth anyone's time. However from what I seen the Savi's experience does look really nice. I would go just for that and sell the saber.
Got to do mines 2 days ago on my birthday and it was a fun experience. Definitely right about some of the peaces looking better or different in person. Watched some videos on what I was going to build but ended up building something different than what I imagined in my head.
i feel like you're paying more for the experience than the saber itself, it is SUPER expensive, i think the cost for the saber should be around $80 for the materials but you're paying for the exclusivity
@@TheCampbellChronicles thanks! i’m going to the USA this summer, (i’m from Belgium) gonna be there for 3 weeks. And staying in LA for 5 days. Will be going to Disneyland too. I think i’m going to take the change to go to Savi’s workshop. Even though it’s expensive, i think it’ll be the only change i’ll ever have.
Im a big starwars fan and am relly interested in the experance but i can’t justify 200$ when I can get one from imperial workshop that’s neopixl and smooth swing and all that good stuff yes it’s not fullly custom and it’s not the full experience but I’d rather have a crazy realistic Luke hilt with 15 fonts I think maybe more and quick color changeing for 275 they do have one that shows the crystal and has a light that changes with the blade that looks relly cool and it being full metal yah you don’t get to see the kyber crystal and get the full experience of the workshop but that’s just my opinion
That’s totally fair! I get it. Having done the experience it would be hard for me to want to do it again. Although I did just pick up their dark saber. That thing is pretty awesome. I want to get a new video of that up but it’ll probably come after I get this most recent trip edited.
The lightsaber build does not include the price of admission to Disneyland or Hollywood Studios in Disney World. Sense I made this video prices have gone up sense then. It is now $219.99 at Disneyland and $249.99 ant Disneys Hollywood Studio’s in Florida. It includes your choice of one of the four factions and a carrying case (if they have the cases in stock).
Do you get to choose your kyber crystal color? Or is it more of a first come first serve thing? Like if I want to build a red lightsaber, but all the red crystals are taken?
Great question. They always have enough of the color that you want when you first build. (Blue red green and purple) If you don’t see it right away just ask one of the cast members and they can help you out. With the exception of white black and yellow. They only sell those colors separately.
Is your UA-cam name based on Campbell, CA? If so, that’s awesome, because I just moved there earlier this year and happened upon this video by chance! I’m a big Star Wars fan, and my wife and I are going to Disneyland in December, where I plan on building my own lightsaber!
It’s based on our families last name. Haha. Although we used to live in California and we drove through Campbell a lot! Beautiful area! You’ll love the lightsaber building experience! Tons of fun!
Great video, questions on the rancor tooth is that only available with the elemental kit? Can't mix with the power and control parts? Also is there a way to carry the rancor tooth end on your belt with a clip holder wasn't seeing a d-ring on that?
That’s is correct. Only available with the elemental kit. Although…don’t quote me on this as I know supplies are limited. When we were there during our latest trip I saw a rancor tooth hilt sold separately. And to your second question yes! The do sell a specific belt clip for these! I had to buy one!!
We had a blade go bad on us after our plane ride home. We were able to email them and get a replacement. It’s worth a shot if it hasn’t been too long since your visit.
6 year olds? 💯 durable. As long as they are slamming them on hard furniture and what not. They should hold up just fine. That being said, when we “dual” with them we do slow-Mo duals just to save fingers and blades from breaking. 😆
Getting it home is pretty easy. It’ll count as a personal item on a plane. As long as they have them in stock it comes with a carrying case. The blade itself is made of a color changing led strip surrounded by a very sturdy plastic. This allows an epic saber battle!!
Yes the blade is removable!! They do come with a carrying case. Although some times they are out of stock. We were able to get all our lightsabers on the plane as a personal item. The airline we used didn’t charge any extra. However I know some airlines do charge extra for more than 1 personal item. Check with your airline just to be sure.
@@TheCampbellChronicles Thanks so much that really saved my day, now I just have to fight my way to a reservation XD did you guys have trouble making a reservation aswell ? bc I really can´t figure out were to do it XD
For the cost of them I wouldn't use them as a duel saber. They're not prone to breaking but excessive for and your $200 saber is now dead. I'd recommend picking up one that is more made for it. for campbell chronicles, people have begun basically fencing with lightsabers, I believe your family is dueling with them I just wouldn't put them full grown person force against another one.
what was your experience booking? how in advance do you need to reserve your spot to build a lightsaber? is it something that can be done same day or do you need to reserve a spot a couple weeks in advance?
You need to book this as soon as possible. I booked mine 60 days in advance. If not then do it as soon as you know you you want to. You might get lucky and find some a couple weeks in advance but it is pretty rare to find any the day of. This is also contingent on the time of year you go and how busy the parks are the days you plan on visiting. This is why you should book the 60 days in advance.
Fun fact for star wars fans: Yellow sabers most typically were wielded by sith Dread Masters, and are seen as a more inferior crystal to the typical Red, Green, and Blue ones. The purple crystal is seen as stronger than the 4 mentioned. Then the white one, which I don't believe is cannon, is most closely related to the translucent-bladed Ghostfire Crystal, which if I'm not mistaken creates THE most powerful lightsabers in existence.
the new canon is kyber crystals are living in a way. red crystals are "Bled" by a dark user pouring all of their anger and hatred into them. Ahsoka got two of these sabers in her battles and purified them into white sabers.
I just did this last week and all I can say is it was definitely worth it for me.
If you are a Star Wars fan and always wanted to build a lightsaber, you should take advantage of this awesome experience.
With you 💯 Eric! I couldn’t agree more!
How much was the total cost including tax
So I want to say it was $217-$220 after tax. But those kyber crystals were I believe $16-$17 a peice.

Hope you guys have a great time there this month!

The only thing that makes me _not_ want to get one is the price. It's kinda hard to spend 200 bucks when you're a teen with no job
I get that. That’s a fair point.
Same
Quality wise ? probably not. You can get more durable sabers from other companies but the experience of building it even though its a short presentation was worth it to me.
i wanna do it for the experience of the work shop, but the quality of the sabers seem very sub par compared to companies that u can find online.

Going to Disney next month and I am considering doing this. Not as big of a Star Wars fan as I use to be, but I will always love it.

I’ll just pay for neopixel
It’s $260 now 😢

I would agree with that.
@@TheCampbellChronicles and they just recently increased the prices :/
im finally going back to disneyland after 9 years and im 100% getting the lightsaber, thanks for this review
No problem! I think I might be getting another one! Although I am bummed they raised the price…
what if the batteries run out? can you charge it?
It takes 3 AA batteries. Easily replaceable. The hilt comes apart and you’ve got to remove a couple screws and that’s it.
@@TheCampbellChronicles thanks! i’m going to the USA this summer, (i’m from Belgium) gonna be there for 3 weeks. And staying in LA for 5 days. Will be going to Disneyland too.

That is so exciting!! Yes it is definitely worth it!! Especially if you are not gonna have the chance in the future. Very excited for you!

Worth it but ashokas was discontinued when i went.
Oh no!! Her rebel blades or her Jedi blades? Or both?
@@TheCampbellChronicles both
Oh man! Sad news! We were hoping to get her Jedi blades next!
I went there for my birthday it was fun
is it like full price 200$ like enter and everything or just to build a lightsaber? and if not how much is enter and lightsaber combined?

It’s about the experience. Expensive but I don’t regret it 😍

Going to Disney in 3 months definitely gonna do this
It’s totally worth it! Heads up on their price change!
I would definitely do it but I can't go to Disney world anytime soon
What type would you go for? Power and control? I think that’s the one I want next.
Looks awesome, but how would you get it on the plane to go home and what is the blade made of?
Getting it home is pretty easy. It’ll count as a personal item on a plane. As long as they have them in stock it comes with a carrying case.
The blade itself is made of a color changing led strip surrounded by a very sturdy plastic. This allows an epic saber battle!!
$200 per person?
Yes. And you may bring an observer with you at no additional charge.
Going to go there soon, but I’m coming from Denmark so I have to get it back home, so my question is, is the blade removable?
Yes the blade is removable!! They do come with a carrying case. Although some times they are out of stock. We were able to get all our lightsabers on the plane as a personal item.

@@TheCampbellChronicles Thanks so much that really saved my day, now I just have to fight my way to a reservation XD did you guys have trouble making a reservation aswell ? bc I really can´t figure out were to do it XD
We booked it literally the first day we could which I believe is 60 days out. Otherwise it gets tricky.
in july when i graduate me n my friends gonna go the disney land ive ben saving for 2 years ill be left with 7 dollars haha but its worth it
Haha. That’s what my son did and he doesn’t regret it! Hope y’all have fun!
@@TheCampbellChronicles thx!
Np
oh nice! i really wonder what is the feeling of holding a Lightsaber like that?
It’s a lot heavier than I thought it would be! The quality of this build is surprisingly great!
@@TheCampbellChronicles ohhh nice!
It’s kind of heavy
Are the blades duel grade?
What do you mean? If you are asking if you can duel with someone else then yes. My family and I duel all the time!

Agree 100%. We started doing “slow-Mo” battles. Saves the little ones fingures and you save the blades. Just as fun for us!
It was a blast doing it. You and I have the same lightsaber
Right on!! They are so cool!
The experience is worth half the overall cost for me!
The all down fall is how fast it go through batterys
I don't think it is expensive....I thought it would have quite a lot more.
