Moved to Forum: Original Link

Reason: Listing error, items not as described. Amazon customers have been receiving a Play-Doh Kitchen Creations set instead of Star Wars Obi-Wan FX Lightsaber.

Another pre order pricing error from Amazon (RRP on these are $499)

Credit to the discord ping

Release Date: 1 October 2022

Be careful: I have placed an order but the order detail shows an image of Play-Doh but the title is for the light saber

Here’s a listing proof for Amazon chat later :)

      Same. I’ve wanted a lightsaber from this range for ages but just couldn’t convince myself to pay the asking price.

    • djmm on 14/09/2022 - 13:54

      Why wouldn't it be honoured

      • dogboy on 14/09/2022 - 18:18

        Obviously a pricing mistake. They are more like $500.

    I'm concerned after ordering it that the picture in My Orders shows as some kind of Playdoh set 😂

    • sh4hp on 14/09/2022 - 13:51

      And I was wondering why the buy together were all playdoh stuff LoL

    • bleemo on 14/09/2022 - 13:51

      Oh boy, I hope I don't receive $60 of playdoh…

    • Borris on 14/09/2022 - 13:51

      Yeap mine too, the Item model number is F4372 which if you type into google it shows the "Play-Doh Colorful Cafe Playset" which is what comes up at the pre-order picture…

    Yep model number (F4372) shows up as playdoh on a google search. Placed one anyway! Worst case just Amazon request that I return it and get a full refund. Best case I get the lightsaber. Second best case they just say to keep the playdoh and give a full refund.

    Worth the risk, Thanks OP

    • avivadz on 14/09/2022 - 13:58

      For people who collect lightsabers - the $500 ones are considered cheapies for the bottom end of the market.

        Not sure why you're downvoted?

        People are under-estimating Star Wars nerdsfans. There are people who pay $2000+ for custom made, high end lightsabers from bespoke craftspeople that are made as close as possible to the hero props from the movies, AU$500 surprisingly doesn't get you that far even from one of the more mass produced (non official) makers.

  • uzz30 on 14/09/2022 - 13:54

    Ordered one

    Should I have ordered two for authentic lightsaber battles?

    • shabaka on 14/09/2022 - 13:56

      order 4. sell 2 for $300 each and get some beers for the aforementioned authentic battles

    Guys we know it's a playdoh ASIN etc but why does play doh even have pre-ordering? Is that even a thing?

    • daven1985 on 14/09/2022 - 14:00

      I think it is a light sabre, but someone stuffed up and linked it to the wrong system. Hence details are right but order number is wrong.

      Worst case a refund and some free play doh. Best case a cheap sabre!

    • Hinee on 14/09/2022 - 14:44

      Does reselling it not imply that there are plenty of other people who would in fact pay more than $60 for it? You wouldn't but I sure as shit would (and did)

      I believe you're thinking this is something like one of these and if so, you are very mistaken. These are high quality collectors items. Even some adults buy things many would consider "toys".

    For those wondering if this is worth $60, let alone $500, here are my 2 cents.

    In my opinion, it is worth more than $60 but definitely not anywhere near $500. The old Force FX line used to be sold around $300 and often go down to around $200. It was based on the sabers from Master Replicas. These are not the cheap plastic ones that you see in typical toy stores.

    Years ago Hasbro also has the Ultimate FX line and I think they were around $100 (which are intended for child’s play, and they sit between the cheap toy sabers and the old Force FX line). The Ultimate FX has light and sound (makes lightsaber sounds with movement and when blades clash). They are cheap alternatives and are pretty fun to play with.

    I haven’t been keeping in touch with the latest versions of these Force FX “Black Series” or “Elite” sabers but I just don’t see how these are worth $500 when the old Force FX was around $200. I don’t doubt they have improved the quality of these but the RRP is just ridiculous.

        Taken out of context anything looks dumb and useless. They're just skeptical of the RRP, which given their experience is valuable information.

    • DiscoJango on 14/09/2022 - 20:06

      Completely agree, i have the hasbro darth vader lightsaber, was around $200 and at that price, totally worth it. The next series they suddenly doubled in price to around $500, ridiculous. But all the nerds who live rent free at home happily pay it so now its the normal price.
