Thanks! I already bought my plane ticket to UK, Doopydoo is the name of their dog so I hope it's an outdoors dog.

I think that whoever isn't diagnosed with severe paranoia shouldn't be allowed to speak his opinion here hahah... well I've done some research and on ebay they blame the buyer and his local post office, that the buyer never contacted them or informed them of the problem, while the feedback itself says that Doopydoo ignored inquiries. On Doopydoo's website they have some sort of stock quantities management, when an unit isn't available you can make an order anyway and they'll have the thing built, but it looks the same as if it was in stock and ready to ship. Earlier this year you couldn't do that, you could send an e-mail to get in back order. When I regularly check their ebay store however, the E11 kits are rarely listed. Basically they only tell you they didn't have it in stock when you're asking for an explanation within the 45 days claim period, and they avoid too many bad feedbacks on Ebay by avoiding listing what they can't send in due time. When they finally have the E11 kit available, there's no reason to send it to the guy who's past the 45 days claim period when they can secure a good feedback from the other buyers who just recently ordered and can still file a claim. Paranoia gets everything right.

Undersuit shirt. Get a smaller size for tighter fit! Regarding the thigh cover strips, that was really only a minor detail that people barely notice and run home to compare with the blu-rays, and you should have kept it the way you had it before knowing that the gap was that large. The gap is large for me as well and I left the cover strip all the way down. The bottom of your right thigh is hidden by the knee ammo pack when you pull it up a bit. It doesn't have to be level.

You gotta be kidding me, this TK looks great!! and you've already decided to make a new one?? also I wish I had a cool butt snap photo like yours haha Is it normal that the handguards are so far from the wrists? How high can you pull the ab/kidney section to decrease the gap with the backplate? Also try to pull the front of the belt up much closer to the bottom of ab button plate. Congrats and welcome to the 501st!

Filing a report for lost package will increase the chance to get Doopydoo their refund. You provide the post office the proof of purchase etc. If Doopydoo gave you a refund. They also want their money back from somewhere else and it's weird that the customer is the one having to do the work for them. I wouldn't help them one bit. I would pretend to, but only get my money back from them. Now if they didn't send anything to the customer (Doopydoo never gave me any parcel number anyway, so it's what makes most sense), the case at the post office will get nowhere and we will blame the post office rather than Doopy, and not make bad advertisement on forums. In some cases like mine Doopy doesn't have to give me my money back because they succeeded in delaying my actions by promising sending another kit. Which we know how that turned out. Had I gotten my money back and a big fat excuse I would tend to not talk bad things about Doopydoo because customer service, even in the worst experience, always prevails in the customer's opinion. But I worked with customer service and know how companies would rather improve their appearance than the way they really treat their customers on a normal basis. The best customer service is the one that is never required. So when Doopydoo does that thing on 10, 50, 100 orders @ 50 GBP each, they make more profit and it's worth getting lots of hatemail every week. I recommend people who like playing with their money to buy from Doopydoo's ebay store - because of the feedback option forcing Doopydoo to behave. I used their own website with Paypal, both of which don't warn anyone of how many disputes a seller has generated. A thread like this should be started on 501st forums because I told Doopdoo this would happen, and they ignored.

Now I see what you guys have been implying hahah... No, not that rifle. Was talking about the E11. Guys wishing to be small in height to win in proportions have bigger problems.

Oh cool *checks mail* nope nothing. I got past 50 days before filing a Paypal claim (which I did) so now we can see what kind of people they are when it all depends on their courtesy.

How dare you exclude my species, Ingrid. Mawgs make great stormtroopers once we figured out how to tuck in our tail.

Good luck! If you have any question, shoot us!

Hi! Great kit, and great clean job, maybe the photo camera is boasting a bit though ^^ Very clean trim and sanding everywhere. How tall are you? Why did you choose overlap joint instead of butt joint on the biceps and forearms? The 2 sharp edges of the cover strip makes a big part of the sharp sturdish look of the TK arms. Didn't order finishing strips from Tray?

Thanks DDay for clarifying. It wasn't hard to understand what I meant, maybe if you read the forum during your free time instead of from work while doing other important stuff you would have a clearer mind

Here's another pro-TK argument: The smaller the trooper, the bigger the blaster rifle.

It is a very good point, I didn't think it through at all and strangely I didn't get that problem on the ab buttons and ears for example, still waited overnight before removing the masking tape, but there was some tension on the tape due to the shape which held the tape really close. But for the teeth or vocoder it was bound to happen and I just got lucky with the vocoder. For the teeth I would still advise to paint free-handed but anything else, remove tape asap. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! I'll look into it when I have time and money to upgrade. You can free my spot for the next one in line as I will be doing my upgrades next year.

Yeah, zap glue, super glue or any thermally bonding glues have not much to do in armor building. Even for repairing small unimportant stuff I'd prefer epoxy. We only use superglues for wounds anyway. -----------

I'm surprised that nobody recommended E6000, that thing is amazing. We should give it more credit.

I say go for it, and take lots of pics ^^ It seems every week we get a question like that starting with "I know it's wrong to support recasters" followed by the same answers warning about the low bang for the buck and then ending up buying the ebay thing anyway. I wonder if we ever hear the rest of the story and I'm quite curious too... So yes, show us what you can do

No! Ok who brought TB up in the first place?? I didn't want to ever use that argument but here it is: biker scout makes anyone look fat. There. I said it. My words, your choice. Go TK.

Full scout seems to have so much fabric, I think it'd be too warm the rest of the year, outdoors in Florida :S In a TK you just walk around and the wind against the undersuit and through the teeth of the helmet cools you down a little bit. TK's never have problem finding a spot at events, but TB's can get a spot at the Disney parade too.

On my last event I was waiting for my queue to enter a concert hall and hit my head in the door, it's canon alright. That's what LFL wants.

T/MC's prices for shiny thick abs was really interesting, but the size I am not sure, might be that it was nothing trimming wouldn't fix. I have t/mc but didnt overlap the parts with my sister's ap to compare. Like Mathias said its pretty much the same.

Yay! One more converted, we are on FIRE here

You are about as tall as my sister and she has big boobs. You will be fine, try your bf's kit they are a bit on the tall side, tm, but ap, t/mc should fit your length as well I think my sis has AP, front row in the fisd family pic. Blends in fine. No she is 5'4, so AP will fit great.

I use this but the helmet doesn't fit in there. It goes in a helmet bag as cabin accessory when I fly, it's made for helmets so what the hell.

Alright, fair enough! But if you want to do Disney with your bf, you'll need a TK costume. (see "canon events" topic in your garrison forum) "...do disney with your bf" lol PS: If you're hot and wanna be hot then femscout are really really hot, it's a modular combo since you can easily convert from full scout to femscout and back. It's really really cool. Think about it, Garret. :)
