This piece is extremely badass, you will not regret paying for this. But the light up feature, it seems there were some short cuts taken by the developer or some one (this is not Mighty ape's fault) i did some research after mine stopped lighting up and there are tons of people all over the world who's lightsabers have stopped working and its always the same LED. So if you are buying it just for the light up effect this may not be for you but either way its a very good buy and it look amazing!
