    This is currently better than half price @ €21.87 in Argos.
    Seems to be a genuine half price offer too , going by Amazon etc.
    Decent availability around and can be ordered too.
    Sorry, don't know how to post link.

    These are great quality by the way. My kids have two for the past two years and they're still going strong after a lot of abuse. They look and sound great too.

    They are a good price in comparison to Amazon, they were actually this price before the 3 for 2 week too though, the price bumped up for that, and dropped back since.

    Argos link, from Checkargos looks like stock in most stores or can be ordered.

    My son was looking for one from Santa, so the price being what it is, and my local store finally having stock again means I can cross it off the list.

    Are these like a Master Replicas one or are they very plastic like?

    I'd say it's decent toy level but not replica standard. Looks and sounds pretty cool I thought. Never seen a Master Replica though so can't be more specific I'm afraid.

    No worries, I'm a Star Wars geek and have a Master Replicas light saber, I'm thinking of getting this for my nephew.

    Not even close to Master replica's standard but leagues above the normal telescopic fare. They are all plastic with tough polycarbonate blades and fun sounds. The blades light up quite bright with LED's.

    This particular version is the Anakin to Vader one. It's a blue blade and if you hold down the power button for a couple of seconds it, in dramatic fashion, flickers over to a red blade and you hear Darth Vader breathing.

    Not for kids, I've seen these melt solid steel doors and slice arms off

    Excellent, would advise removing batteries before giving to kids.
