Poke the Force with Lightsaber styli

by Candace Savino { Jul 2nd 2008 at 12:30PM }

We're often wooed by game-themed styli, but never has the Force been with a touchpen so much as with these mini Lightsabers. Releasing on July 31st, these official Nintendo and Lucas Arts styli are sure to sell like hotcakes (we can think of at least one game they'll go well with). Yet if you plan to buy them, you'll have a tough choice to make -- should you get the three small replicas for $7.99, or the two slightly bigger light-up sabers for $16.99? Choices, choices.

So far we've only seen these beauties available on Amazon through seller BD&A, but we're sure they'll hit other retailers as time passes. If you're too cheap to make the purchase, though, be sure to check out our guide for stylus alternatives.

Awesome to be sure but really how hard would it have been to make the smaller ones fit into the actual lite stylus slot?! I don't carry a case for day to day trips so no deal : (

I'm all over these.

I wonder if they can be shaved to fit in. They're just plastic...

It's a shame that only the larger set lights up. They look so much more unwieldy than the smaller, more actual-stylus-scale set. I wouldn't really know, though; I've still never taken my humongous Palkia stylus out of the package. It could be better than what actually comes with the system.
