I also found bubbles in all of the lightsabers I got with my 7110 Landspeeder,
7130 Snowspeeder, and 7140 X-Wing Fighter.
All of the early-vintage transparent antennae I have (15 or so, in red, blue
and yeller) all have bubbles as well.
It seems to me that I read somewhere in an industrial fabrication magazine (I
was bored) that the type of ABS used in making transparent injection-moulded
castings is prone to voids (bubbles) in areas that are close to the center of
the piece, and far from the injectors.
