Newb Question for Lightsaber Build

[KayleeJade]

I bought a cheep lightsaber because it was smaller and fit my hands better than most others. Now I'm finding cheep may be biting me in the butt. It does not light up nor does it have sounds. How would I go about moding it so that it does? I've tried unscrewing the bottom of the hilt, but it appears as if it does not come unscrewed. I'd also like to replace Vader 's red blade with one if my own making. Are there any good tutorials on how to go about that?

For the price of modding, you could just go to Toys R Us or target and pick up a fully working one for under 40 bucks... they're like cheaper version of the EFX (is that right...?)... the ones that light up and have sounds...

Agreed. There is a lightsaber in every price range, and some pretty cheap ones with both light and sound, I'd save yourself the headache of modding the cheap one unless there was something very specific you liked about it that you couldn't find elsewhere.

Check out fx sabers.com, specifically their forum. There is a ton of info over there, and all your questions will be answered. Just out of curiosity, what saber are you wishing to mod?

Can you post a picture of what you bought to be able to help us see what you're working with?

I posted pictures in a different thread, appears my ap wasn't notifying me when people responded.
But for those who are interested, I picked this saber because it is smaller around and fits better in my hand, and the blade completely retracts.
