HALO 3 FX Sword

  Spare a moment in your day today to mourn the loss of the cherished FX Lightsabers from Master Replicas. MR lost their Star Wars license, so they are no longer allowed to make or sell those serialized LED rays of perfection. What's that mean? It means that once the stock of FX lightsabers on the market clears out, there will be no more. Oh, the humanity.

  But weep not fot the FX technology, dear friends. Master Replicas may have lost Star Wars, but they haven't lost FX. They have just released for pre-order a beautiful reproduction of the Energy Sword from the blockbuster video game HALO 3.  

For those of you who have played the game, you know it's one of the most powerful weapons available (albeit, with a very short range). It's also one of the cooler ones that a Spartan can use. For those of you who have not played the game, well, frankly, we're disappointed in you.  Have you no regard for your own safety? What happens if by some freak of the space time continuum, you find yourself in an interstellar war between 26th century humanity, led by the United Nations Space Command, and a collection of alien races known as the Covenant? What would you do then? Having no experience with the Covenant, or a portable gun turret, or even an M41 Rocket launcher, you would be completely lost and would probably be vaporized within minutes. Really. You owe it to yourself and your family to play this game. For safety's sake.

The new HALO 3 Energy Sword replica will have all the goodness of previous FX products -- Serialized LEDs, various digital sound effects triggered by motion and impact, rugged construction, etc.  I imagine that, with the fall of the FX lightsabers, this will be an extremely popular item.
