Can't be upgraded or customized (except blade), sound effects poor, only one control button

Can't be upgraded or customized (except blade), sound effects poor, only one control button, doesn't come with instructions. POSITIVES: 1) The blade lights up plenty bright, and seems evenly illuminated. 2) There are many choices of color. 3) The hilt seems sturdy. NEGATIVES: 1) The sound effects are poor. They sound like about a 10-second recording in a continuous loop, except there is a gap in the loop so you can tell where the loop begins and ends. Furthermore, whenever you turn off the lightsaber, it says a word (lightsabers aren't supposed to talk!), and as near as I can tell, the word it says is "SLEEPING." 2) This saber can't be upgraded or customized, other than replacing the blade. 3) The blade is not very strong or thick. You'll need to buy a replacement blade if you want to do any dueling at all. 4) Only one control button to handle all of the myriad functions. 5) No instruction manual! You need instructions in order to use that single button to activate a half a dozen different features. The only place to find instructions is online, at the manufacturer's Facebook page, so if you're not a Facebook user, you're SOL because you'll never figure out on your own how to make ONE SINGLE CONTROL button do all the different functions! RECOMMENDATION: For less money than this, you can find a better lightsaber elsewhere, one with a sturdy blade, more than one control button, and instructions. For a little more money, you can get a much, MUCH better lightsaber elsewhere!
