Also, for the sake of putting info out there:
If you go to the store, you will notice that the telescoping hilts (the non electronic style) have new packaging but there are also some changes:
- The hilts are no longer painted silver. They are now bare molded plastic which is more towards the gray side. Good because kid play will not show as much wear. Bad because you see the swirling imperfections in the plastic.
- The red permanent arrow on the switch plate is gone.
- The Anakin hilt has added black paint detail in the little charge/prong hole near the emitter.
- The Covertec style knob is not a smaller style that would work in US style cell phone carriers. It is now closer in size and appearance to the actual Covertec knob. However from the look of the small gap on the knob, it does not look functional. The stupid hook is still there.
