I don't remember inflatable lightsabers. I had the plastic lightsabers with the semi-flimsy blades that, when you swing them through the air, they would whistle. I used to unscrew the cap holding the blade to the handle and just carry the handle like a shut-off lightsaber and then I would attach the blade to a flashlight so I could get it to light up. Imagine my joy when they released the sabers in 1995 that actually extended (to a degree) and had a built in sound box and lit up. I was in hog heaven. My friends and I would shut off the lights in the lounge of our dorm and have lightsaber fights in the window so that all the other floors and buildings could see. We were geeks. But we weren't the only ones.
