Do they fit in the little DS Stylus Compartment Thingy™ ? If not, then it would be a waste of $17, because I'd lose them in a heartbeat.

MykalBloom

i like them but, i hardly play my DS much anymore, and its kinda huge no ?

but they light up ! but, darn, stuck again

Mr.Sad

Do want!

demonknightinuyasha

How fun!
A bit expensive though...I'll be fine with my boring black stylus.

.em.

Nice try, really, but this ain't my Green "Zelda DS Feather"

Booken

@Jtn: I'll stick an LED light in there...if you want buy 1 pack of Star Wens for 99 Cents and get another pack COMPLETELY FREE! THAT'S RIGHT! Not one, but TWO packs, all for the price of 99 Cents *in a really fast voice* not responsible for sticking styli in orifices, up nose, or in animals.

...Happy?

Smash88

Hey, these would give me a reason to play my DS! Alright!

DoomDoomDoom

@Smash88: Yes, but would those LIGHT UP?

Jtn

So $17 for a cheap piece of coloured plastic and a cool light saber (Star Wars Themed) theme - man what a waste of money. If you want, I'll make it for $1 shipping payed. I'll get a plastic tube, and put a weird metal tip on the end and put Star Wens(TM)(See what I did there?).

Smash88

Are the ones in the three-pack smaller, or are they just scaled down?

Huge size difference if not.

Crisu

Ninja Gaiden sword was cooler. But I am a sucker for cheap plastic so I might pick it up.

Foggynotion

Do they fit in the DS light?
Cause I would totally be on those

ItsSuperEffective

They look okay. 17 dollars for a stylus is a bit much for me(a non-star wars fan).

AngelMayLaugh

Technology these days...

Jtn

Those things look a little small to flog a dead horse with.

oskarkeo

...look like mini dildos to me....

albinogoldfish

Well... before I had a kid, I'd easily slap down 17 big ones (in this case, NOT penises... peni? Peni is funnier, despite not being correct).

But now? Even 8 big ones (once again, not peni) is a bit much... But they're really, really cool. So why not?

2NinjasTapedTogether

@Donutta: That's rather narcissistic, isn't it? It's sounds nice till you realize you'd be fighting over control of your games, wanting to both play at the same time.
I think I might end up buying these. Also, depending on the quality, there are 300 yen ones that light up, and there are six kinds, that would work perfectly well as a stylus... Unless these fit inside the DS lite I'll stick with my old stylus.

Herabec

I saw this and told my fiancee I was buying the light-up ones. The look she gave me was priceless.

Ah... If only I could date a female version of me. :P

Donutta

This is cool and all, but the price seems to be too ridiculous.

ninjacubed

Does nobody else think it would feel weird to hold a light saber by the "light" part? I mean, yes, it's a stylus, but...but the colored part is the part that cuts people in half!!!

rockasocky

The guy on the desk next to me thinks I am looking at novelty dildos...

dazzlerboi

Seriously though, those things are freakin' awesome.

budash2

@Booken:
Green? Mine was white...

@Luke Plunkett:
Yeah, actually you hold it like a little tiny pen. If you want any sort of fine control, that is. If you want to feel like you're painting your house (or Tom Sawyer's fence), then the hilts are the way to go.

Purple Dave

@rockasocky: Uh...you dont hold the light part, you hold the handle...

Luke Plunkett

I want the Luke one, but this introduces an issue, I have a DS classic.

LuppyLuptonium

And for $30, you can get a one-pack that lights up and vibrates!

Ghede

*jaw drop* I..want..

o.O Shiny.. so shiny plastic.

*drool*

Mizuki

My father wanted me to have this when I was old enough, but my uncle wouldn't allow it...

Shiryu

I haven't been tantalized by Star Wars merch in a loong time.
I may have to stockpile these.

cynopt

That's pretty cool. I looked at them incorrectly at first and hadn't read the article so I totally thought they were sonic screwdriver styluses (which would be awesome). I need to take a break from the television. ><

ArgentAngel

Light saber stylus? No thanks.

I wanna chop ninjas in half, not my DS.

Billkwando

"Most Impressive!" /Vader

Ooooh boy! I don't care if they're practical or not, I want them! Both sets! EEEEEE!

Salen

uhm I live in the UK where thee world eez very bland and be very lucky if we didn't get a "special edition" smack in de face.
So where do you buy these wonderful delights? I don't mind importing.

damienchowder

uh saw the non light ones on amazon... they don't fit in the DS... I don't see the point then.

damienchowder

Wow.

Willy105

Aaaaack. All I need is to feel compelled to quote Star Wars every time I open my DS. "I thought they smelled bad... on the outside!"

PositivelyGreg

What people are failing to mention is that the $17 pack comes with two..... you know what that means?

LIGHTSABE DUELS WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!

EndwaterAngry

Good thing there isn't a game based on Dentists...

bcrich999

i hope oil reaches $500 a barrel so we can stop wasting it on crap like this.

F22

I want one, but would it fit the ds stylus slot?

kingme

I love getting stupid shit for my DS. I've got a Pikachu stylus, a New Super Mario Brothers cellphone strap, a desk stand, an oversized 'comfort' stylus for use at home, some "print club" (purikura) stickers on the bottom... if I ever see these in the store I'm sure I'd pick up the light-up ones... who cares about Star Wars, just the fact that it's A STYLUS THAT LIGHTS UP is enough to justify instant purchase

I also have a makkurokurosuke dangling from my PSP

Jonathan in Kichijoji

I have to admit that I hardly ever use my ninja sword stylus because it doesn't fit in the DS stylus slot, and I'm terrified that I'll lose it. I can foresee a similar problem with these. They're damn cool, though.

ach77

SOLD!

EnigmaNemesis

best title ever

mariospants

Hey guys. Unfortunately, I looked at Amazon.com, and according to them, the smaller Styli will not fit in the DS slot. That was a deal breaker for me too... But Since they were just announced today, it'd be cool if someone who wants one regardless could let us know for sure.

PresidentSimmons

I'm not even that big on Star Wars, and I want these. If the light-up ones fit in the Lite that would be awesome. Pew pew pew!

June

Wh0re out that franchise, Lucas! lol, sad.

That being said, I'll take a pack of each! :D

malio

I need a stylus that calls out "Yo, I'm under the couch, countin' yer missing socks" when I whistle for it.

Knukleur

The hilt end looks very heavy, if you try holding one of these to actually play a DS game, it will be unwieldy. Not to mention the inability to fit it into the DS stylus holder.

mikeha

Maybe I'll get them sometime in the future. $17 is quite a lot for a stylus.

Banjo-Kazooie

uhmmmm i dont know about a lightsaber, but how about a quil? I think that would be much cooler.

Cmdr.Trehugr

Kids these days with their hula hoops and fax machines...

pewpewlazer

@Cmdr.Trehugr: Phantom Hourglass already did.

@Crisu: compare the NintendoDS logos, and it doesn't seem like it's scaled down/up.

Alucard

Hot damn.
