I have AM armor and my belt is starting to crack. Anyone get this from the seller here? http://www.ebay.com/itm/281040387397?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Great work MWG! So awesome what you did; unfortunately I just heard about this through FB as I haven't been on here much the past year. If you still need donations, please let me know. Its so great what you did; thank you again! I'm glad and proud to be part of the 501st. And to see Katie dressed as a TK, awesome!

TKBoots is the one boots supplier to go with. Thermal detonator comes with the kit. Or at least it should. For treckfreek, I guess you didn't go to the ebay armor section on sellers to avoid. Of course some sellers will tell you its 501st approved, if you can make the modifications. Here, take a look: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=18454

One of my squadmates was looking at this armor and wanted to know what I had thought of it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-wars-Stormtrooper-armour-fx-kit-halloween-prop-new-/170764867311?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c26116ef Right away I could tell the helmet looked awful. And I see the seller is listed in Thailand.

I wrote them earlier and stated that these boots are not 501st approved. This is their response: You are correct, we just revised all listings, thanks Be sure to check out my website at: -------- Get back to me with any questions. Thanks again! Eric

I was wondering if them stating they're 501st acceptable when they're clearly not, could they get into any type of trouble? Just that it would make it seem like we accept this garbage when we clearly do not.

The seller (triktoys2000) states these are 501st popular and approved. Yeah, right! Don't be fooled newbies. -----------

Hey Jim, I'm also 6'4" but 210 lbs. I have the AM kit which I like. A lot had to be trimmed off but perhaps if you have someone in your area that has an armor party can help you out. Also perhaps someone here with a similar build can assist you. 2 things though; you'll always hear "aren't you too tall to be stormtrooper?" (people think they're original and that I've never heard that before) and you can rarely stand next to Vader. Of course depends on how tall your Vader is. Good luck!

I also have AM with RT helmet

I believe he is too but that is where I got my AM armor back in October. And his email was replaced by troopergear.

I noticed troopersupplies@hotmail.com no longer shows as a vendor for AM; why is that?

Here's an article about Bob doing the walk: http://www.ocala.com/article/20110428/ARTICLES/110429687

So far, we have $580 collected. So about a quarter of the way there.

Thanks for helping out guys, every little bit helps.

I'm forwarding this from our squad leader. Please help however you can. Thank you! Hello all, I come to you with a plea for help. Bob "Dad" Perinchief SL-7082 (my actual dad) is an elementary school teacher, and the president of his schools PTO. Recently the PTO treasurer (a students parent) embezzeled over $2,000 from the PTO bank account, essentially cleaning the fund out. As a passionate, lifelong teacher and advocate Dad has pledged to walk from his school to the County School Board office, and back to his school. The route will take him 10.2 miles round trip, and he is seeking people to sponsor him, at any donation, per mile. He will be doing the walk on the 30th of April. He normally walks 1.5 miles every day in the morning, and has been increasing his walks to 3-5 miles per day. He estimates that the fundraising walk should take him from 8am-12pm. He will not be walking in costume, but we will be equipping him with a camelback, granola bars, and have some friends who will do the walk with him. Oh, by the way, Dad just celebrated his 80th birthday 2 months ago... Yes, at 80 years old he is still teaching 600 students per week. Yes, at 80 years old he is planning to do a 10.2 mile walk to earn back the money someone else stole. And YES, he needs your help. ANY donation will help. Donations can be made via Paypal (personal gift option) to: Perryinnovations@aol.com and put PTO Walk in the comment
