heh by the time i saw this thread, you were already back home T.. glad your back lookin forward to the big box of goodies lol!

I had CaBoots which were ok, i didnt like the finish and i hated the stich on the top/front, but they were the best available when i got my first TK together. So now i just got TKboots and they are so awesome i bought another pair for my Sandy build... they rock! i wouldnt buy CaBoots again now that the TKboots are available.

Glad i can help a fellow trooper out

Ah man that sucks T! ...another free bump for ya! OooOOoOoOoo...i see my name on the list and i get so anxiously excited...haha

Just doing my charitable Imperial duty sir! This community has given me so much in knowledge and otherwise that giving back is only natural!

Rob, your mic tips will go out monday/tuesday at the latest..priority mail!

looks great! I make accurate hovi mic tips....if you PM me your addy, ill send ya a set for free to get ya to EIB quicker! they come with screens and screws to mount em!

Hahahahahahaha....."you cant have a droid Phil"...LMAO!! that was great!

Im ith you there!...i actually went ahead and ordered a pair of these to replace my currnet caboots for my TK. So now i have these for both my TK and TD in progress. The pauldron looks great too! I just got onme from Trooper1 on MEPD and it is awesome, but was much more money. I may get a white one from TKboots now!

Do you run fans? Yup, behind the tears, which i had cut with a dremel cutting wheel to actually have venting If yes to fans, how many? 2 Which Hovi do you use? My own Regular Hovi Mic Tips? yes Hovi with the mini speakers built in? no Is your Brow and neck trim accurate? Brow, Yes, neck, not yet

I actually put all my costumes in these totes. And i fit my bucket in them also(except for Fett lol) Its all in the way you pack it. . I assembled my TK armor so i can separate the back and chest armor so i can nest them in each other. so first i put the ab/cod with the butt/kidney nested in that, with the chest and back nested in that. then i put the thighs on top of that with the forearms in the shins and then the shin in the thigh, for both legs. that gets most of my armor on one side of the tote. I then put my bodysuit, gloves and neckseal in my bucket and twist it in sideways so one of the shin pieces is slightly in the bucket. then i just put the thermal det, boots, belt, shoulders/biceps along the spaces in between. i also manage to get my e-11 in there also by putting the barrel in the other shin and the butt of the blaster in the bucket. i get all of it in there =) i also have an entire ESB Fett, jetpack and all, (less the helmet) in one of these as well as a full Bikerscout. I Assemble all my armor to be broken down so i can store/carry it easier. Its one of those things you think about when waiting for your armor to arrive lol.

I ordered a pair of these yesterday for my TD build..if i like em as much as everyone else here, which i probably will, im replacing my Caboots from my TK with TKBoots as well!

Myself and my girl got our CV tix and plane tix..and most stuff squared away. Im a little nervous about bringing my armor as well and was also thinking of shipping it to either the UPS counter in orlando, or to the hotel. Anyone ever do this for an event like this? Would shipping it to the hotel or the UPS counter be better? ugh..im so nervous about it! lol

haha i saw that! i was like..why?! WHY?! LOL

i have one as well, the best amp ever! Louder than the old newton amps and WAY smaller! I cant praise it enough, and cant thank Jim enough for making these available!

that looks great man! Like some others imnot a big fan of the ROTJ troopers, but seeing this sways me a little...great job bro!

thats what i thought lol thanks guys! i love this place!

heh yea i noticed that..i was like, funny....none of the helmets i ever had were like that lol Glad i posted about this,so now others will stay away! Question though...is makerofthings and piratetrooper the same guy? the link posted in the first response was a thread about PT being a recaster,which i already knew. Just wondering if this guy was found to be the same person.

thanks..thats what i wanted to know! ....and if he re-casts TE2 that is beyond forgiveable! yea i have AP armor now and messaged TE2 about a set of armor but havent heard back from T yet. Dunno when he's pulling again. Was just curious about this as it was so cheap and looked accurate-ish. thanks again....ill stick with waiting for T to get back to me!

Came across this today.. http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-ANH-Stormtro...=item45f01dd5c1 i always check out what armor is on fleabay, mostly for a laugh, but this one seem intriguing to me. im looking for a less expensive set of armor for my sandy and was thinkin this may be a decent alternative. I just cant remember if .60 styrene would be too thin. What youguys think? i can swapout the ab section if need be, but the rest dont seem that bad honestly. I noticed inhis feedback that his older listings said TE stormtrooper armor,but he's since removed that. So im thinking maybe this is a recast TE? Anyway for the price it seems like a steal, just want to get some opinions before i make a decision. thanks guys!

Id give the guy a break, hes done more than alot of us have. Yea its not accurate, but hey if he keeps at it , he may be able to make a nice set for himself

I believe Tom is correct by saying its an early RT-Mod recast. One of my garrison mates had bought this helmet to replace his FX and then shortly after replaced it with a more accurate Tray/MC bucket. Here is a pic of us when he had this helmet.Im on the left,(full AP gear), hes on the right.. As for it not being 501st accepted, if the FX is still accepted, dont see why this wouldnt be.

i am the same height, and get the same thing, sometimes it urks me too ...maybe they think stormtroopers are supposed to be tall for some reason <_<

that is awesome...i wish i had aclone so i could have done this event ...

i was there as well! If you see the video of the show, i was the trooper right next to the x-wing (the trooper closer to the ship)when Matt Lauer came out
