Fortunately, BioWare has made it more possible than ever to enjoy the illumination of an omni-blade as safely as possible with this newly announced Omni-blade shaped lamp. Standing 10.5 inches (26.67 centimeters) tall and made of wholly transparent die-cut acrylic, this imposing light comes with the flexibility of being powered via a USB connection with an included cable or three AA batteries, not included. Perhaps the best part of this highly collectible piece is that at $23, apre-order for Marchseems especially affordable to any die-hardMass Effectenthusiast.
