Also of note, when I first bought this original AM kit from a Trooper who was upgrading, I removed rivets that were misplaced and filled the holes that remained with ABS Paste and sanded that down.

Spurs Star Wars Night in less than a week!!! See you there! - Berbs

So... what if there were two CRL's; like the ANH Hero / Stunt? Could they be split, with one being NDA and the other FISD? - Berbs

... Come to think of it, isn't it only approvable WITH the Bucket? How could they NOT make it part of the FISD? (well, you make a good point about EU) But, you're absolutely right! It IS approved!! - Berbs

"No Detachment Affiliation"?!? When did that happen? I thought it was definitely going to be an FISD Costume w/ or w/o the helmet. Weren't folks saying here that it should be here? - Berbs

Clint! Another option for Gloves ---------------- Try them on at the store to ensure a good fit. The palm side is textured, and the back breathes and the handplate will cover the logo. Also, you could tighten up the elastic on the handplates, and if you only have one elastic strap on them that goes across the palm, add another that goes around the wrist. The benefits are two-fold: stability, and you can wear them with any set of gloves (or rotate worn-out gloves) since they wouldn't be glued. Even if you decide to go with latex handplates in the future, you'd have these as an option for any given event. And I have elastic strap suspenders that snap on the inside of the ab and kidney plates. - Berbs

Thanks, Paul! But it's not only me. Hopefully, we might even see more tomorrow... I doubt it, since I figure that we've analyzed it far more than the plan to do on the 'Inside The Force Awakens' feature which is gonna air on Disney. But one can hope. http://www.epicstream.com/news/504/%27Inside+The+Force+Awakens%27+To+Air+After+Star+Wars+Rebels+Marathon - Berbs

Congrats, Clint!! - Berbs

Pulling a bit from Tim's (Dark CMF's) Thread Labelled : Episode VII Trailer Reported To Post At 10:15 EST as this seems to be the more appropriate location and would help with more consolidating. Also, here's one of the many links out there to some screen grabs. - Berbs

Niice!!

Have the best I could grab over here: https://flic.kr/s/aHsk6AA2L8 More and discussion over here: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/29293-episode-vii-trailer-reported-to-post-at-1015-est/page-2 - Berbs

Aaron, I see what you mean with the Holster... I'm sure I'm not even close, but something like this "Y" Notch seems to fit with what you're saying: And Velcro is exactly what I figure is what the Spat clasps were attached with, but it is a touch blurry, and it almost feels too thin... (Heck, that may even be the problem! They didn't use the thicker Industrial Velco that most of us use! LOL!) Bottom Line: I can't wait for more pics!! And I'm sure someone will figure it all out soon enough!! - Berbs

I'm guessing they made the Holsters functional, but I don't quite understand if it's just through magnets? Some of the "Clasps/Clamps/Clips" or whatever do seem to be functional in that they cover (Velcro/3M-Strip/Other) seams (The Spats had a Wardrobe Malfunction) and others do seem to only be there to give the illusion of functionality (if the Inner Seams on the Thighs and Calves are Clamshelled and the Outer Seams are Glued Shut): And lastly, (forgive the crude drawing) it looks like the white on the gloves isn't limited to the Trigger Finger and runs from Thumb to Index Finger on both hands: - Berbs

I LOVE THIS BUCKET!! And when I first stumbled on it (since I have been doing my best to avoid spoilers (nearly impossible), I HATED IT.

Happy Thanksgiving Steve!! Gobble Gobble!! Roger Roger!! - Berbs

Perfect! Now we know what we'll need to match for acceptance. On the Boots, what did y'all use for the cover strip? - Berbs

Congrats to you both!!! Great work!! - Berbs

Ok, got a few Q's: Can we see what this "New Thermal Det" is supposed to look like? I know we'll see the approval pics when Mike posts them, and I'm sure it'll be in there, but I mean do we have specific pics that determined the need for something else? Like, a particular page from the comics or something? How different is it? Is it completely new parts from the current TD, or is it just modifications to this current one? Shouldn't it be an option? (Like our E-11's can be Modified Hasbros, but a pipe build is more often than not going to be more accurate). So for this, why we would need something different (either new or modified) when the current Thermal Det from the kit is SPOT ON with the Statue as a reference. I just figure if it already looks fantastic, why can't we keep that as the main one, and include whatever the modification/change is, as an alternative? - Berbs
