What’s better than a Jedi lightsaber? A Sith lightsaber, of course! Sith lightsabers are red, which are so much more visually striking than the regular Jedi lightsabers. It’s no wonder that everyone wants to be a Sith Lord when it comes to lightsaber battles. The Sith are also much more creative with their lightsabers, what with double-bladed lightsabers, lightsabers with twisted hilts, and now a lightsaber with bladed hilts. The Jedi only have boring old blue, green or (rarely) purple lightsabers.
So for all aspiring Sith Lords out there, the Kylo Ren Electronic Lightsaber is the best way to mimic the latest Sith Lord. It’s part of the Bladebuilders series, which is like Lego for lightsabers. They give you a selection of different components for you to custom build your very own lightsaber.
This version comes with fewer parts than the Jedi Master Lightsaber, but they’re all red. It comes with lights and sounds too, with an activation sound when you switch it on, and parrying sounds when you hit something with it. So yes, if you and your friend each get one, you can enact epic lightsaber battles together!
It comes with this unique piece that serves as a connector between the Sith blade and the dagger. It can also be used with other lightsaber components in the Bladebuilder series, but it’s obviously designed to match the red lightsabers in this assortment.
And here you have the small hilt blades to form Kylo Ren’s lightsaber. It’s specifically for this Sith lightsaber, so it’s not really compatible with any of the other lightsabers. Then again, it wouldn’t go too well with any lightsaber that isn’t red right?
There’s also a short red lightsaber dagger that comes in the package, which provides you with another option when it comes to build your evil Sith lightsaber.
And the actual red Sith lightsaber itself here!
And here you have everything! You can only really build Kylo Ren’s lightsaber, or a double-bladed (but uneven) lightsaber. You’ll need to get another lightsaber if you want to get creative with how you build your lightsaber, or maybe even a second copy of the same toy.
Here’s Kylo Ren’s lightsaber! That’s the first thing you’re going to build with this set, really. It’s in the name of the toy after all right?
And this is what you get when you use all the components provided in the set. A cross between Kylo Ren and Darth Maul’s lightsaber. It’s best gripped with both hands and used as a greatsword, rather than just in one hand.
But the magic happens when you combine it with other lightsabers in the Bladebuilders series! If you’ve never been quite sure whether you should be a Sith or a Jedi, well, this lightsaber configuration is for you. Of course, you’re going to earn the ire of both Sith and Jedi, but if you want variety…
Combining it with parts from the Jedi Master Lightsaber set means you can build lightsaber claws! It’s the closest you can come to being an X-Man, and you can always recycle this for next year’s X-Men: Apocalypse.
Finally, if you try to use up every piece in both sets, you’re going to end up with a giant three-quarter circle of a lightsaber that will stab in every direction. It’s hilarious to wield since it’s so terribly impractical, but it’s actually quite deadly since you slash something everywhere you turn.
You can be a Sith Lord for SGD $69.90! But then, the real fun in getting the Kylo Ren Electronic Lightsaber is so that you can fight some do-gooder Jedi. So use the Jedi mind trick on your friends to get another lightsaber, and you’re off to slaughtering Jedi!
