Doh!

Thanks Karin! Have no fear - you are the undisputed Queen of the Hand Guards! Your hand guards are all over my costume wardrobe (TX x 2, TD x 2, DT).

Thanks again everyone... now for Centurion!

Which Sterling parts will the kit include?

I'm so glad to see this coming to life, and so proud to be counted among you all... For Katie, and for the Empire!

Thanks everyone for your comments - I appreciate the clarification and the perspective. Safe Trooping!

Agreed - this same conflict occurs in the Magma TX, where the CRL seems locked to the ANH armor, but in the story occurs much later (ROTJ). It's not my intent to rail agains the CRL - just want to be sure I understand where they come from. That said, should the CRL be amended to reflect the ESB E-11, or do you thinkk it really should be the ROTJ?

So, because Gentle Giant erred in putting the incorrect blaster on their bust of the figure, the CRL for the Death Trooper reflects that error? I love the GG figures/statues, and I appreciate their work. They make a great product, but I think their place in the hierarchy of what dictates CRL guidelines should come a little further down... perhaps below that of the established timeline of the story. It seems like a lot of weight to be putting into what is essentially a design mistake - especially if that's going to dictate anything above level 1 requirements.

I know... right?

Could someone please explain to me why the CRL for Death Trooper requires an ROTJ version of the E-11 for level 2 & 3 certification? Considering that Death Troopers takes place about 1 BBY, Star Wars Galaxies takes place somewhere between 1-3 ABY, and the ROTJ blaster doesn't make its first canon appearance until about 4 ABY... why is it the preferred weapon for the Death Trooper? Thanks for your input.

I'm in. PayPal sent...

Thanks, Vern. You are an intel specialist..

It would be for display... but it just so happens that I'm currently also in the pipeline for a TM suit. I just know that eFx was working on this Hero Legend helmet, and I was wondering if anyone had seen/heard anything new (I think it was supposed to be released a year ago - but they haven't pulled it down from their website).

I'm not certain, but I think you may be referring to one of the other eFx productions. The one I'm talking about is akin to their Vader Legend lid - more in line with the old MR Limited Edition Hero buckets.

I didn't get to CVI, but I expect there might have been some info passed there regarding eFx's Legend ANH Hero bucket. Or maybe somebody out there has some more recent info about it... Either way, if anyone has tabs on what to expect from eFx, I'd like to hear about it (I'm sure some other folks would too). Safe Trooping!

Ouch! I'll check it out...

Has anybody had any success removing discoloration (i.e., sun exposure tint) from their ABS? If you have any suggestions or ideas, please chime in. Thanks!

Thank you all for your comments. I'm glad I asked...
