With a little ingenuity there probably is a way to do it. Without causing damage to the blade itself or the hilt, I really don't know. I myself, am going to play it safe and not remove the blade until the EL craps out after 1000 hours of use.
Now for those of you in Flight 1, if you could possibly tell the rest of us in later flights about how long it takes to get the thing once you get notification that the flight has left. I know, a stupid redundant question, but we have been waiting almost 6 months for the frickin things.
As always more reviews / pics are alway welcome.

I was labeled "Flight 2" and I got my email notification today (Sept 27) that it was shipped yesterday. It arrived at my door today! Of course, I live in Pasadena, CA and it was shipped out of Burbank, CA. It was shipped via FedEx.

That's cool that you finally got yours, JediRacer. I too, recieved email confirmation today that my saber had been shipped yesterday in Flight 1. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Ok.. here's my review of the long awaited Anakin FX saber. Overall, it's a cool toy. I also have a Parks Saber that lights up, so I'll compare it to that. The blade of the Anakin FX is pretty bright, it's a lot thicker yet shorter than the Parks. The brightness level is about the same as the Parks, but since the blade is thicker, therefore more EL material, it seems brighter.
The sound is ok. It's what you could expect out of a 1" dia. speaker. At first, the sound wasn't that loud, but now it's ok. There's probably a loose connection in it somewhere. All the sounds are cool. I especially like the startup and powering down sounds. The idle "hum" can get a little monotonous after a while. The moving "whoosh" sounds are pretty neat, since it only makes it when you swing the thing around. You gotta hit something pretty hard to make the "crash" sounds.. I wish it had a little more bass, or low frequency sounds, but what can you expect from a small speaker. It does sound better than the plastic Hasbro Electronic lightsabers.
The handle or hilt is a little too shiny for me.. it's polished chrome. It is practically the same size as the Electronic Anakin Lightsaber from Hasbro. I like the size and machined aluminum look of the Parks saber better.
Overall, I'm not disappointed with the Anakin FX saber.. it's a nice addition to my ever increasing SW collection. As MR says, it's not a true replica.. but it is a neat toy (although the box says it's NOT a toy).

Well, earlier today I finally recieved my lightsaber, and I am 100% satisfied with it. Now that I have my Anakin saber, I can't wait for the Darth Vader FX saber. Hopefully, after that, MR will make a green one(Qui-Gon's saber would be nice)

I would advise trying to remove the blade. It is permanatly attached for a reason. The main reason is safety. The saber was originaly design to have a removable blade but the LFL lawyers advised against it since this is something that is planed to be sold at toy stores. All it take is for some kid to put his eye out some how with a removable blade and there would be lawsuits galore.

Ok.. I think I figured out how to post pics. Here's one of the Anakin FX saber (on the bottom) compared to my Parks Saber.
Here's another one close up of the Parks Saber, Anakin FX saber, and the Hasbro Electronic Anakin Lightsaber.
You can see that the Anakin FX and the Hasbro toy are about the same size.

JediRacer,
You have the old "visions" parksaber I see. I have one of those, and one of the new Eschelon sabers as well. I like the new ones much better as the hilt even lights up and has blinking lights. JeffParks will soon be coming out with his new "brighter" blades using a new double-battery system. As soon as he does, I am getting my third Parksaber! Woot!

MaraJade,
Thanks for reminding me what model Parks Saber I have, I totally forgot! I got it a long time ago. I know he makes better EL blades now. His new designs are a little too flashy for me, I like the simple "old-school" designs. I like this Anakin FX saber though. The sounds make it fun to swing around.

Has anyone in FLIGHT 2 or 3 received shipping emails yet?
Master Replicas still only has Flight 1 on their site as the only one shipped/departing.
I'm starting to think that the "All orders placed will be shipped by the end of October" may have been a bit optimistic.
