I mentioned a couple pages back that the shipping window for the pre-2019 TFA FOTK preorder got quietly shifted to Q4 on their web site. There was apparently a small statement to that effect on their FB page, but I'm hardly ever on FB and didn't see it. So they haven't gone over without comment -- they're actually well within their current window, with a month and a half to go. Given a nonzero number of people have gotten at least partial kits (with the lion's share apparently going to Disney for "Rise of the Resistance" extras), it's no longer complete vaporware. I have faith I'll get something eventually.

So we ready to close this thread out and assume we are never going to receive anything?

Pretty much nailed it. [emoji41] Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Looking good, I've got a recruit starting a build and I know exactly where to send him for referencing

I like the idea of a built in coffee dispenser, though.

Thank you for the review JustJoseph, I really appreciate it. I think I need to give that calf a bath if I'm going to correct the symmetry problem there. Seems no matter what I do it defaults to that position when closed. The belt had popped off it's snap and I really wanted pictures so I just let it be after fighting with it a while. Seems I may have been a millimeter off when I put the snap in the belt and it comes unsnapped easily. Thinking I've seen some folks add a little velcro under there to assist in keeping the belt in place. As for EIB I still need to assemble a blaster that's in a box. Planning an easy build to get a grasp of it then trying a second build to make a more realistic one.

Congratulations trooper

Well, hope you all are finally enjoying The Mandalorian, it's getting exciting. We still haven't had our episode air yet so we can't say anything but we got to see a few more episodes last night at the premier and you are going to love what's coming next week. Can't wait for you to see more so we can start working on some cool new costumes.

Arrrhhhhhhh

Looks GREAT!! The connecting line (see arrow) is a bit askew, but this is no biggie. As long as your cover strips have an equal amount of space on both sides you are golden!

I have MTK armor and I love it! He is the only vetted seller from EBay. Mike Appling from Trooperbay runs MTK armor. He’s based out in San Diego CA with the Imperial Sands Garrison. His armor is top notch and of high quality. Thicker armor than Anovos. I highly recommend him. There are a few troopers here who have MTK as well. You can follow him on IG or Facebook to see his work. I don’t understand why he is not part of the vetted seller list on FISD. You’re in good hands with MTK. Good luck!

Been a while without an update... have been working on the build and making progress:

Here's a great recent thread from @justjoseph63 on return edges which may be of help

I have a feeling we can get to level 2

I kind of gathered the stuff I needed over the summer without thought of a build thread. Her’s some pics though. They were taken after a troop, so things are not as tight as when I geared up. Damn pack is drooped sideways on me I see now haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
