  1. Very sad news. A great loss to the Legion. My thoughts are with his family and close friends.
  2. This will be the most scrutinized batch of plastic to ever be produced from any vendor, licensed or otherwise. Let's hope the ab buttons are not a millimeter too far apart.
  3. In other words. "You can think whatever you want, but you are wrong because I say so."
  4. I lament about the ineligibility of the FX, and MRCE buckets. To me, the FX is a connection to the foundation of the Legion. There is a certain nostalgia there. It's also one of the few helmets that will accommodate a pair of prescription glasses inside. With the MRCE it's a little different. I perceive the MRCE to perhaps be more accurate to video game media than any other TK buckets specifically due to their symmetry. Video game characters are a big part of the Legion and even the FISD. Not that Iam bothered in any way, but I've always had a little chuckle in my head when seeing a Stormtrooper Commander with wonky helmet and a bumpy eyelid. I chuckle only because I know there is a difference whereas, 7 billion other people would not. I specifically know that Lucasfilm event casting either doesn't recognize that the MRCE helmet is different, or they aren't concerned about it that level of detail.
  5. Every seam in my kit is glued except for my calves. Works from me. Works for you?
  6. TK-5430 5,430 ft is the elevation of Boulder, Colorado.
  7. Like some others, I really like the idealized symmetrical look of the MR CE. Although, a movie screen accurate wonky helmet has definate merit in my opinion and a special place in my heart as well. Just to nerd out for a moment though, since costumes from Lucasarts games are considered 501st worthy, let's keep in mind that video game "screen accurate" stormtroopers at least since Rebel Assault in 1993 have all had symmetrical helmets. In particular I believe the new "Force Unleashed" title is even commonly accepted as official Star Wars canon.
  8. I do on my armor. Basically, it's just a thin white elastic strap looped around and tied in a knot. It serves two purposes for me. It keeps my nylon straps from showing, as they seem to want to shift a bit, and they are one of those goofy "screen accurate" touches that only a few people would identify. I don't flood my TK with those types of details, but that is one that I do since it is easy and serves a dual purpose.
  9. http://www.501stlegion.org/members/display...php?userID=9776 Trooper 5430 requesting 501st access from the elevation of 5430 feet above sea level.
  10. 2 Yr. old and 5 Yr. old - $1,400 a month in daycare tuition.
  11. That is so tempting. I would love to get back to Orlando - I'm a Disney kid at heart. My son would love to go back too.
  12. Christian, I think I like that display better than a mannequin. I love the negative space.
