This will be LONG but for the casual buyer I hope it helps. I didn't REALLY understand the difference between RGB or Neopixel but I do now. While I DID completely understand RGB was for the "budget" shopper, honestly, I was surprised at how much they gave you anyway.

Hilt: I did know it was metal but honestly a higher quality than I expected. It's NOT a "cheap" thin feel but well, far more impressive than I expected.

Blade: we this is the unexpected but still OK part. The RGB does NOT have anything inside the blade. It's essentially a lightsaber looking flashlight that changes colors. At first I admit I was like "OH NO" but it IS bright. OK not "neopixel" bright but for the budget end: Honestly NOT BAD. Now you are NOT going to have the igniting base to tip slow movement of the light and turning off, it will not slowly return to the hilt. After all it is a flashlight with nothing inside the blade. However they include the awesome ignite sound and the awesome turning off sound to still make it very cool.
Also, the blade quality would make for LIGHT dueling, it's rather thin and would not take much Id imagine to dent it or worse. It is held in place by two micro sized screws that an (included) allen wrench is used to tighten them. They even give you extra screws which is actually very generous.

Sounds: This was MOST impressive. Many sounds to choose from for the part we desire most in the experience. Great "crackling" saber sound while you hold it still and a nice selection of saber "whooshing" sounds when you swipe it back and forth.

Effects: The blade has several choices to just "on" to almost a strobe effect. Mentioning RGB had noting in the blade tube I was VERY pleased to find they made an effect that kind of makes the blade bright-slightly dim-back to bright, to essentially try to imitate a shimmering effect.

Colors: LOTS to choose from and I think anyone will be happy with the selection.

Easy to recharge and VERY happy the batteries can be replaced (I did not try to see if this was easy to do but it says they can be replaced).

Summary: If you want more of a professional experience then go with the other two neopixel options. If you want a pretty impressive saber for the money. I have to admit, they gave us that. Pretty generous options and quality for the money. SURE I'd like it to be brighter (and my picture honestly was in a very dark room and "looks" brighter that in truth it was. Still, it's bright enough to be happy with it.

Thanks for reading! :-)

This lightsaber is very well balanced. I can spin it easily without any problems bringing it back up from the lowest part of the swing. All the weight is in the hilt, so it makes it really balanced.

I got my lightsaber within a week, as they promised. I am really happy with it. I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so I'm very satisfied with the detail of the lightsaber.

I purchased the Luke lightsaber w/Proffie soundboard. Received the item in one week… (that’s FAST)

This saber is a fantastic blend of form and function. Is is great on its own, but is also a fantastic canvas for the force wielder looking to make a statement with their hilt! I'm very happy with mine and look forward to using it in battle!

Dueling was never this much fun before i bought this saber. It has brought me a new wave of excitement and I am really very happy and satisfied with the product.

It seemed like i was going to waste my money over this product because I did not know anything about this store. But when I received my order, it was finely packed with proper care and the product was as per the description, really loved and enjoyed the saber.

Cool, best addition to my lightsabers collection and guess what, still it has a lower price than many of the sabers in my collection. Recommend you guys to buy this wonderful gadget.

Star Wars fan?? buy this saber if you really want a great duel with your lightsaber. It makes dueling more joyful with its flashes and sounds. Shop it!!

This is my first Neopixel lightsaber and I'm in love! I'm over 30 and feel like a little kid again! I had Luke's ROTJ hasbro extending lightsaber when I was a kid and boy am I glad there are companies that make these realistic Sabers! A must have for true Star Wars fans!

Most accurate budget replica of the return of jedi luke lightsaber, a must buy for any fan of luke! The display emitter and pommel make it so real. I wouldn't swing it too hard though because there is little blade depth. It is is only flaw. It comes with 27 soundfonts of several star wars character including luke of course.

The saber is great. The colors and sounds are pretty slick.

Outstanding service and communication. Product was perfect, couldn't be better. So much thanks.

The craftsmanship of this replica is absolutely remarkable. From the hilt's intricate design to the blade's vibrant glow, every detail has been meticulously recreated to resemble Cal Kestis' iconic lightsaber from Episode IV. Holding it in my hands, I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement, as if I were about to embark on a grand Jedi adventure myself.

Great sound and great durability. Its quality is incredible. The sound board is top notch and the charging ability is so nice. The tricks and moves are really smooth. Its brightness is incredible. Best working. Thank you.
