Are these cool, or am I just a HUGE geek?

I've wanted one of these ever since I first saw one at Books A Million, but I was afraid my kids would break them. I've since found out that they're made of pretty tough polycarbonate, and people even spar with them. So, my mom's getting me one for my birthday.

If you DO think they're cool, which one should I get? They've got almost every Jedi and Sith, including different ones from different movies, like apparently, Luke and Darth Vader and Kenobi have different sabers in different movies.

They even make sound effects for power up and power down, and swinging and clashing. And they light up and power down sequentially.

So, what do you think? I was thinking about the Darth Maul staff one. That way, you get two for one, since you can disconnect them.

So, are these cool, or am I just a :ugeek:? I DO want you to know that I have NO intention of joining one of the "clubs".

They are cool, and you are a geek. (I'm proud to be a geek by the way.) However, since you are not joining a club, you are not overly geeky.

It's always cool to get something you love man. Own it and don't worry.

You won't reach geekdom until we find a video of you online, reenacting scenes from the movie.

I can PROMISE you that that WILL NOT HAPPEN. ;) I AM a geek, though. Maybe it's cool in a geeky way (

:ugeek: )? Is that possible?

I think that's pretty awesome.
I wouldn't mind getting one for my birthday.

You are a dork and yes it is cool. Definitely go with one from the original series. The Darth Maul one is cool looking, but come on, it's from Episode I

Get Vader's.

Dorks and Geeks are two different entities. Geeks are cool and nerdy, dorks are just nerdy.

Yea, but for the price of 1.5, I can get two. That way, I can fool around with my kids with them when it's separated. ;)

CB&B already said this, but the answer to the two-pronged question you posed in this thread's title is simply, "Yes."
