This was a gift for a four year old boy.  I was going to buy a different light saber, but I read a review that led me to this one and I am very happy that it did.  Not only was my nephew excited with this, but so were his dad and his uncle.  The only thing that I was a little disappointed with(my nephew didn't seem to care)was the actual light wasn't very bright in the daylight. But the way it pops out and the noises it makes were quite fun.
