Congrats Dan

Thank you for another excellent newsletter guys!

Clearly this is not a crisis issue, it is an issue of politeness. It's simple forum etiquette. Generally we do not post in all uppercase letters. Why? There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it's considered improper and can be interpreted as rude. Along the same lines, it is pointless (and can be quite annoying) to post things like, "I'm interested" or "I'm following this thread" on a thread where people are specifically subscribed to in order to receive pertinent information. I can understand what Mathias is saying if it was a general discussion thread where a conversation is expected, but people should be more conscious and considerate when it comes to an information announcement thread. I am actually surprised that it is not common practice to have an information thread locked where only admins can post information, such as a merch run starting.

I don't think the solution to culling irrelevant /nuisance notifications is to postpone notifications to once a day or once a week as that function takes away from the purpose of the instant notification system.

Following this thread.

Congrats!

Another Walt clone arrives, congrats!

'Complete trash' is extreme. I personally think (and hope) it will be a fantastic suit. It would be nice if ANOVOS would publish detailed photos of the actual production armor.

Jebus. How did I miss such an epic build thread?! Aren't you done yet Dan(ny)? Niagara Falls Comic Con is creeping closer!

I've never had any metal reaction with E6000 and snaps.

Excellent Newsletter guys!

Hi there Christopher - Mid August is a tight deadline if you're looking for the kind of armor you can find here. If you're lucky you may get a lead on someone selling completed armor, but the chances of it fitting you properly without modification is slim to none. And then there is also the gathering of the soft bits (gloves, boots, neck seal, under suit, etc) Since you have interest in joining the 501st, my biased opinion is that you plan out a proper build and do it right the first time. There are lots of us in the GTA that could help you build, and with the nicer weather there will be armor parties a plenty. If you're leaning towards a 501st Stormtrooper, PM me and I'll give you the details of our Canadian Garrison Facebook group for new recruits. If possible you can also come talk to us at Niagara Fall Comic Con the first weekend on June. Alternatively, if you're just looking for something cheap and easy, I hear Queen Street is good for that

Wait what? Sadly it seems this is true. Guys are encouraging when it comes to females donning the original TK armor but I've yet to see/hear about a male in Legacy Trooper armor. Either way, do it! It's a striking costume and I have hope that the character will be the furthest thing from the bumbling Stromtroopers from Rebels.

This makes me happy

Thanks so much Slam for taking these fantastic photos! I know many of us a re super appreciative of the high-res files. You can totally zoom in and see the booger in Clamps' nostril!

Sweet baby Jebus. Please tell me this is a joke and not a real thing. :|

Awesome photos Slam!

It was fantastic to meet you and your wife, Steve! I hope you're recovering quickly! You too Vern.

That's a bit of misinformation there, the $350USD ANH TK kit is available for pre-order online until (I believe) May 4th.

After C7 I'd definitely say the Amazon mic works much better than the Radio Shack one with all that weird feedback you were getting in your Vader.

List is updated. :> Looking forward to meeting you all!

Just the tip?

The Stormtrooper Social is happening! Go here for details and to sign up! http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30726-tk-meet-and-greet-star-wars-celebration-anaheim-41815 The event is open to all FISD members!

Only a couple weeks away! Can't wait to meet all you white and shinys!

When: Saturday April 18th at 7pm PDT Where: nFuse Lounge - Anaheim Marriott What: An informal gathering of FISD members getting together for drinks and heckling each other Dress Code: TK racing shirts, jeans and TK boots There will be no punch and pie at this event. The Marriott charges too much to have food catered. Darth Aloha is still trying to figure out how to deliver on his campaign promise at C7. It may be a game time decision. Keep your eye on the forums during C7 to find out where you may retrieve your promised punch and pie. This is open to any FISD forum member even if you don't have an approved TK. Please post here if you are interested in attending and how many people are in your group. 1. Pickles (Andrea) 2. Darth Aloha (Eric) 3. Captsafe66 (Mark) 4. Clamps (Charles) 5. Pony (Ken) 6.
