Now does Pilot Luke include the electronic lightsaber, too? IIRC, the MH version of Hoth Pilot Luke has that winch backpack. And I believe I had seen word of an electronic lightsaber version of Luke, too. But they can't have combined the two features into one figure, right?
I got Pilot Luke yesterday (before the mob attacks, I wanted another pilot Luke figure and figured I might as well for for a different one) and there is no light-up saber. I too remember hearing that it would be light-up, but I guess it didn't pan out on Hasbro's end or it was just mixed-up reports from other parties. Hopefully we'll get a light-up farmboy Luke sometime soon... I'm not sure how well Luke's other outfits would work with their skinny appearance.
Yeah, it seemed like it would be odd if that figure would have both the grappling line feature AND the electronic lightsaber.
I'm thinking that the electronic lightsaber Luke is probably going to be a ROTJ Luke. Farmboy Luke has the lightsaber, but never really used it in any kind of a fight on-screen.
The thing is there are actually some semi-interesting things in the Movie Heroes line like these figures. But I think that most of the collecting websites have pretty much ignored the MH line since Hasbro basically told us that the line was simply a vehicle for getting those kid interest figures out to market.
