Buying Guides
Pick a saber for your budget, your hands and the way you will use it.
Buying a lightsaber means choosing between blade types, sound boards, hilt builds and very different price brackets. These guides help you match a saber to what you actually want to do with it, whether that is display, cosplay or sparring.
Picks rest on published specs, prices and warranty terms, and each buying guide carries the date they were last checked.

A neopixel lightsaber has an LED strip inside the blade, so the glow is even from hilt to tip and the blade can animate. Entry models start around $180, mid-range around $320 to $400, Proffie sabers from about $400. Duelling needs a tougher blade.
