Last week, a potential new weapon for tuna roll conquest was unveiled via Rebelscum and Gizmodo. Photos taken at the Star Wars Celebration Japan showed off some amazing items… including the Chopsabers! These chopstick-lightsabers were on display at Kotobukiya’s booth and caused quite a ruckus among the legions of fans who demanded to know where and when they could purchase a set of their own.
We contacted the good folks at Kotobukiya to obtain details about the production and availability of these amazing items. We were told by Koto that “Plans for the CHOPSABERS are not official.” Furthermore, Koto would like to know how interested fans are in obtaining these items and what a reasonable price point might be.
So, here is your chance! Do you want a set of Chopsabers of your own so that you may epically battle your chow mein? How much would you pay for a set of these tools of dim sum destruction? Which lightsabers do you want as chopsticks? Let Kotobukiya know by commenting below this post or dropping a note in our Lounge!

If these go to production they will be out of their minds if they don’t make purple Mace Windu chopsabres…

Please sell these! My husband is dying for them! I’m sure he’d pay at least $15-20 for them.

Would I want a set? Absolutely without question. I’d drop at least $20 on these without a second thought. I have promised my wife that if she buys me a pair of these, I will eat sushi with her… and I really am not much into sushi at all!

I would definitely pay up to $30 for a set of mixed chopsabers! They are a neat talking point, and an excellent addition to our sci-fi collection.

I would absolutely love to have a set of these (if not several), would pay $25-30 for a complete set. Functional AND a conversation piece!!
