Coming this Fall, Hasbro will release Star Wars Bladebuilders. It is a brand new toyline that will allow children to build their very own lightsabers.

"Star Wars is such a magical property and in particular the lightsaber is — and I think everyone would agree — the most iconic weapon of all time," Kim Boyd, senior director of the Star Wars brand for Hasbro, told USA Today. While the company has offered various roleplay lightsaber toys over the years, "this is the first time we've given kids the chance to customize through an entire system."

The main Jedi Master Lightsaber set (for ages 4 and up, $49.99 includes a lightsaber with lights and electronic sounds, a pair of lightdaggers, an expansion hilt and a variety of connectors.

From there, kids can mIx and match from three other assortments with connectors and lightsaber blades tied to various characters. The electronic lightsaber ($19.99) comes in Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker flavors, the foam lightsaber ($14.99) has Yoda, Vader and Luke variants, and the extend lightsaber ($9.99) offers something for Luke, Vader and Anakin Skywalker fans.

Sounds great! I love that more and more companies are supplying children with toys that they can customize. It is a great way to expand your child's imagination. Parents, put this on the top of your child's Christmas list. Who am I kidding, there is no when any child will be able to wait until Christmas to get his hands on this.

Check out the Star Wars Bladebuilders below.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens arrives in theaters December 18, 2015.
