Star Wars Clone Wars Ultimate Blaster
Get ready for battle with your own customized blaster! Will you take on the enemy with a pistol? Will you become a clone trooper and blast battle droids with yo

My son bought this with his allowance money and it is the absolute coolest thing I have ever seen! You can basically take apart the whole gun into 7-8 pieces and everything, except the shoulder stock (& this funny handle thing that we never use), makes a fun clicking noise when you put it together. In addition, the ammo clip and sniper sight can be put on about 5 different places making even more differnet gun configurations. Each of the gun barrel configurations makes a different firing noise (one sounds like the AT-AT's main laser blast or a similar large laser cannon round and others are typical Star Wars gun sounds - all very different from eachother) and you can set the gun for single-shot action (plus huge explosion) with the clip taken off or rapid fire mode (plus huge explosion after 5-10 shots) with the clip in place. Also you run out of ammo after awhile sending it in to single-shot mode until you "replace" the clip (remove and put back on). I rated it as a 1-Star on educational because, you know, it's just a gun... I guess it educates you on Star Wars stuff. My 8-yr old son has been wanting a Star Wars gun for ages and this one is so much better than the typical Stormtrooper/Clone Trooper rifle or Han Solo pistol. Theoretically you could buy 2 guns and start piecing everything together to some monster weapon, but my son & I haven't geeked out that far - yet... If they'd had this when Star Wars Ep4 came out 30 yrs ago, Kenner would have made a killing!!! This has to be my favorite Star Wars toy that I've ever come across and that's saying something. And the price is REALLY reasonable - the best of both worlds!
