  6. How much is a Tie Pilot?

    in Getting Started - Read this First!

    Posted

    So how old is your son?  Are we talking a 7 year old?  10 year old?  A grown teenager?  If we’re talking a smaller child then Yeah I would say Walt would be your only and best bet. If we are talking a grown son then Walt or Radu Plucinski makes nice looking armor. TBH you might as well not even go to the JRS forum. It’s pretty much a ghost town. They do most of their business on Facebook. 

    Hopefully New TK from the UK! Advice Required!

    Hello and welcome to the FISD!  I very much recommend following Dan's advice.  If you are looking to join the 501st legion then you will need to make some modifications to your SDS armor.  In the long run it may be cheaper to just go with the options that Dan has recommended like DA Props and RWA.  Remember, purchasing a set of armor is THE MOST important part of this process.  It is important to take your time and if that means saving up money for a while then please do so.  It is a marathon not a sprint.  Good luck!

    Whilst this accuracy is all well and good when it comes down to it, this is not a replica group.  I don't feel we should be enforcing the exact angle of the ear or brow height at anything less than Centurion. 

     

    Troopers should, for the most part, look the same.  If we're down to such minutiae as the brow gap being 5mm off or the ears being off by ~10° then I'd suggest we're already doing a pretty decent job. 

     

    Provide the information, those who wish to built to it will always exist but I don't feel this level of detail should be overly enforced.

     

    No wonder we are on the same team.  He tend to see things in the same light.

    Sorry guys I don't agree with the low vs. high brow debate.  This would be getting way to close to prop replication and that is not what we are about.  And plus I have a low brow:

    Now for those of you that are not GML's or have not been a GML, please bear in mind that a vast amount of legion members are not concerned with higher levels of accuracy.  There are certainly many members in all detachments that are very in tune with their costume of choice and strive for screen accuracy.  But many members just want to have an approved costume and troop for charity.  As a GML and a Command Staff member of the FISD it can sometimes be difficult to tone down my passion for TKs when I am going over an application.  Not everyone is going to have the perfect TK costume out there and we need to sometimes remember to keep things "basic."

    While I’m not sure on the cost of a Kylo Ren, I can tell you that my Vader has cost me approx $4200 at this point.  Vader is the second most expensive costume behind Boba Fett. 

     

    While over at the SLD I want to say I’ve seen members say Kylo will set you back approx $2000 depending on your purchases. As far as TKs go, you are looking anywhere from $1000-$1500. 

  23. 2018 FISD & EI Challenge Coin Important Announcement

    in Announcements

    Posted

    Greetings troopers.  During the month of December there was a run of challenge coins offered by Endor Finders in our Detachment Merch section.  Many troopers are starting to receive their coins.  As you may notice there are imperfections on the edge of the coins.  While there are no imperfections reported on the faces of the coins, these imperfections on the edges have been reported to us.  We have been in contact with John at Endor Finders and he is offering to replace any coins that you feel are unsatisfactory.  This will be up to the individual customer to contact John if they choose to have replacements made.  If you are happy with the coins then you do not need to do anything.  You may contact John at endorfinders@gmail.com and he is asking you to title the email as "Replacement."  In the body of the email please provide your order number, your address and any other pertinent details about your coins (eg. EIB coin number).  John is asking that the customer pay for the return postage and the postage to send out the replacements as he volunteered to do this run.  If you have any questions regarding the replacements then you may contact John at the above email address.

     

    With Unquestioned Loyalty,
