Heh, apparently that got his attention Good news, he replied to my email. He maintains that the Canadian Garrison forum is closed to non-members, which is a bummer, but he mentioned armor parties and to keep in contact if I had any questions. In the mean time, I've made contact with the Force United Niagara and will be meeting them at their troop this Saturday at FUNexpo

Still no reply from Roy. =/ I am planning on heading to the FUNexpo in Welland this Saturday to meet some troopers! Spend a day hanging out with the Sandys

Canada is known for it's friendly, helpful and understanding people! I am somewhat disappointed by the response (or lack of) that I received from "Roy" of the Canadian Garrison. I signed up at the 501st Canadian Garrison, hoping to meet people in my area who are both veteran and novice TK builders. It seems that FISD set the bar pretty high when it comes to welcoming new people and aspiring TKs because the only contact I had with the Canadian Garrison was an email (sent to me and many other people in this thread) saying I can't join unless I am already a 501st member. I would have figured they'd have some kind of 'newbie' rank with limited forum access so that people just starting out would could dip their toes in. That is, unfortunately, not the case. I sent a reply to 'Roy' asking for clarification on the matter but have yet to receive any kind of response. I did meet some of the Canadian Garrison members at the most recent Toronto Comic Con and they all seemed very friendly so I am wondering where the disconnect is. I'd love to troop with fellow Star Wars costumers! I have buckets of enthusiasm to go around! In the meantime, like Keith said, a bunch of us in the relative Toronto area have been talking and getting to know each other. The plan is to meet up mid-July and talk armor! Also, I'd like to thank everyone here at FISD as you've made me feel very welcome here and I very much appreciate all of the valuable information and experiences that you all have shared. <3

Just saw this thread after I asked about it in another >.< Doh! Anyways, I just remembered that a few years ago I used to do War of 1812 reenactments with some friends and we drove between Canada and US all the time with flint lock muskets (that were fully functional) and never had an issue. Flying might be a different story though.

Ordered a set. Will post more when it gets here!

Am I to understand these are two seperate vendors or either email address will get you the same seller?
