Light sabers. Durable?

[set1208]

My boys got very excited when they heard that they can build their own light saber in downtown Disney. I am curious to see if they were durable or if parts fall off. If they break easily, I'll steer them towards another toy.

Thanks!

My son built one about 2 years ago, and It has held up great!

Our DD built one a year or so ago. We have 3 very active kids (and their friends) who play with them frequently - the pieces can be taken apart very easily, but don't break easily. There is one part with a little door and the 3 gems inside - the door on ours has broken when someone tried to close it with the gems in the wrong spots.

It's a large/heavy lightsaber, IMO, the smaller lighter Mickey lightsaber is much better for the 5 and under ages - for size reasons only - but if your son is older, then the build your own is great.

We have done build your own light saber several times (have 3 Star Wars obsessed boys) and they have help up great. They really loved that you can make a double-blade like Darth Maul.

Okay, that's very cool. I've just added this to my "must do" list.

Thanks everyone! They've been so excited about making them that I'm glad to know we won't be disappointed.
