Thrustmaster's lightsaber Wii peripheral on sale at Amazon

by Justin McElroy on Mar 25th 2010 3:45PM

We want to meet the person at which this this Thrustmaster lightsaber sale at Amazon is targeted. "Are you kidding me? $35 for a fake lightsaber handle that I stick on my Wiimote? What sort do you think I am? I'm a grown man! ... Wait, what? It's only $20 now? Well, if you're going to twist my arm ..."

Listen, we're being crabby. Buy it, go ahead, have a great time. But just know that every man has a price at which value outweighs his dignity, and yours is fifteen dollars. ... What? Why are you laughing at our half-off horse armor receipt? What are you trying to say?

No...I'll just keep that money for real things I like.

They do realize their company name is thrustmaster right? If so, then they have a great sense of humor

The funny part is how they once offered good joystick products.

Long.. long ago.

Bah. Cheap knock-offs. There's no way you are going to gut a tonton with that thing.

Tontons don't exist.

We all know they're Tauntauns.

Maybe not, but you sure can put a hole in a TV.

Fair enough, Tre.

Crap, it took me years to assemble my own from parts I could scavenge.

$10 says Cody buys 4 of these and tries to pretend he's General Grievous.

I'll take that bet.

Although he probably already has them...

Cody? You mean that douchey Cody?

Let's hope he makes a video of it too, and forgets to erase it for someone to find. ZOOM SLASHHH BAMMM

"Thrustmaster"? For $35 it better have some moving parts (if ya know what I mean)!!

*$20

But i was going into Tachi Station to pick up some power converters!!

Awww, someone beat me to it!

Just don't make me drink any more of that blue milk!

It's a more elegant Wiimote, for a more civilised age.

KEWL!

20 dollars for 50c worth of plastic?!

WHAT A DEAL.

50c worth of plastic and a light!

prolly made in china, so you're no doubt getting some free lead in any paint on the plastic.

we'll just call that a bonus and keep it betweenst us, m'kay?

wow, free lead and a light!

GOLLY GEE

I'm gonna be reeeeeeeeeeeeeal dissapointed if this doesn't light up!

You think that image is doctored? What kind of world do you think we live in??

Next thing I'm going to hear is "3D TV" is just a gimmick.

woah hold on, Thrustmaster? Are you sure this is meant to enhance to your wiimote? No wonder Miyamoto is always smiling.

You could probably get two lightsaber toys off ebay and mod them to fit the controllers for less :\

Thrustmaster was my nickname in college.

A lightsaber that's MORE clumsy or random as a blaster.

Great. All I need now is a decent Star Wars wii game.

The Force Unleashed beckons...
