Review coming... VERY SOON!!

The battle sequence feature is a great start. I could see third parties changing the game by reprogramming EVERYTHING so that the blades can interact with each other. Imagine two Artsabers with new tech that would allow clash patterns to match with another blade. The lights and sounds would react accordingly with another. Proximity sensors to distinguish how bright a clash flash would be, etc.

Hey, Obi-Dad. I actually asked Disney about the loose blade on my Savi's Workshop saber, and what was explained to me is that it allows for dueling. If the blade was rigid/has no wiggle room, it would break. So definitely, if you don't plan on dueling, tape trick all the way.

Hey SW! I really appreciate that man, thank you so much for the thoughtful comment.

Regardless of your intention, be it for display or casual "play", if you were to only purchase either the Elite or the Legacy, which one would you purchase? I am on the fence with these because I REALLY like the Hasbro stand, but I think the retaining ring and the side screw are both just unnecessary. I like the easy concept of just insert and twist to lock in the blade on the Legacy. The Vader bundle is currently on shopdisney. But I also have the ability to pick up the Elite for around $160 after using some rewards points.

The big decider between FX Elite and Legacy for me was down to one thing; the ability to slot in a Jaymoo's Playground custom blade. It brings the Legacy hilts beyond the one-blade-only FX hilts with a bright, smooth unpixellated blade that flickers. And there's far more legacy hilts in the catalogue than FX.

For me as a Canadian I got this for exactly 300 cad normally it’s 430 here and I’m not going to Florida anytime soon but even factoring the conversion plus shipping this is actually cheaper then the galaxy edge

I actually used to own the original Master replicas Darth Vader lightsaber and recently picked both of these up for pretty cheap. $180 for Black series force elite and $140 for the Galaxies edge. One thing I felt like was happening when I hit the blaster effect which I now think is actually built into the way the thing works is that once the button is hit 1 time then when you swing it seems to do 4 to 5 times if you keep swinging circularly. Probably will mess with it a bit more but so far that seems the case. I agree with the couple criticisms (not loud enough and also flash on clash is WAY too sensitive to the point that it messes the experience up a bit). LOVE the videos generally and look forward to more.

With the Black Series, I like how the blade is removable. I don't really care for the extra sound effects. I don't need the kyber crystal. The only better feature is the stand. The Master Replica's stands would hold the lightsaber horizontal and after time, the blade would begin to droop. Also, the price for the lightsabers used to be around $130 tops. Now they're upwards toward $300? That's crazy. I'm glad I got mine when I did.

Yes and no, it's modelled after the post production ESB MPP. The Elite saber has a few inaccuracies to the one shown in Rogue One, however they got most of it right. It's also very hard to make a 100% screen accurate Rogue One hilt because of the lack of reference photos. I've noticed a theme with the Hasbro and Disney line up, they basically take the coolest features from each version and mash 'em together. See the Skywalker legacy lightsaber, which is loosely based off ESB and TFA Graflex.
