 Great Concept, but needs to have weight balanced for gameplay November 15, 2008

My wife and I purchased these and, although they are bright and would be fun as props or for a costume, they are not practical for gameplay. It makes the entire apparatus top-heavy and causes arm pain after only a few minutes of play (my wife is a bowler and has fairly good forearm strength already, so it's not just a matter of needing to work out the muscles). If the Wiimote had been placed in the middle, allowing for the batteries to add weight at the back of the hilt, this would be a much more useable toy.
 my six year old won't put these down! :) October 21, 2008

I'll be honest - we don't even own a Wii - so I cannot rate the game; but the Glo Swords are awesome! My ex bought a two pack at Sam's (red & blue) thinking they were the coolest prop he could find to accent our son's Halloween costume. We have been out at night with them - and they are wonderfully (blindingly) bright! I'm now considering buying the Wii - based on my son's love of this accessory alone! How much more would he love playing the game ... right? :)
 Glo Sword are nice extras for your Star Wars games October 19, 2008

Before reviewing....I'll add to All the complaints about Amazon's mishandling of the product...I didn't get my Force Unleased on time because of this, then canceled my Amazon order of the Glow Swords and bought the 2-pk from Sam's for less per Sword @ $35 total, but this is only for the RED and BLUE Swords.
The Glo Swords are beautifully lighted, a striking clear Glow almost as nice as those full-length replicas that were offered, these are only 12"
swords as not to bust-up the living room or blind your friends. They are nicely weighted, although this will effect your saber-skills at first.
The Glo Swords fit nicely on to your remotes, even those with CHARGERS like mine (although removing them is a chore).
Duel mode on UNLEASHED is lots of fun with twin Glo Swords especially at night! Temptation to actually fight with the swords may be to great for younger users or (let's be honest) goofy teens... so be warned!
One problem with use with FORCE UNLEASED is some menu options aren't as convenient with the Swords attached, so you may wish to start the game before attaching.
Could someone please review the ITEM not the customer service? October 17, 2008

Has anyone actually used this product? Would you recommend the Glo Sword or a different kind.

I had pre-ordered this in June for my brother's birthday in July it was delayed into August and then September, but I got email notifications each time. I also go a notification for the $5.00 promotion with the message that they will not be carrying the item. My guess for this decision would be repeated failure by the manufacturer to deliver the product as agreed.
To make up for the horrid inconvenience they offered it for the same price as the other ones would have been regularly. Yes it is more than the $19.99 that I originally reserved 1 for, but I'm now getting 2 of them, dropping the price to about $15 each, and they look cooler. I do not see a problem with this, because Amazon is not the ultimate source of the problem, if you're going to be mad and boycott something why not the manufacturer for not meeting demand?
