RATBASTIRD

This is the email I received last night from TK Boots. I told him that I'd post this here in hopes that people will spread the word. Please accept my most sincere apologies, we've been waiting for the boots to arrive since las Friday and to date the company has not delivered. We called again today, begging to please expedite and the company said the driver will be entering our state Friday but they were not sure if they could have them here by tomorrow night. I've been on the phone for over an hour waiting to hear a confirmation either negative or positive. If the driver can deliver can them late tomorrow night then I'll work all weekend on wrapping, packing and processing orders and have them shipped out Monday morning, most pairs going USPS priority airmail. My fingers are crossed they'll be here tomorrow night and I'll spend all weekend processing the orders. If the company cannot deliver on Sat or this weekend, then we'll have to receive them Monday in which case I'll have to begin processing the orders Monday night. If this is the case, then we may not be able to ship the boots by Halloween. I'm very sorry to have disappointed you and I will most certainly respect your wishes should you wish to cancel. In fact, I wouldn't blame you. Either way, I'll still do my very best to get these shipped out as quickly as possible once they arrive. For those wishing to remain on our lists, once the boots are here we'll begin e-mailing immediately once I personally double check the boots.

Procrastination procrastination procrastination... I was told that even though the website always says "sold out" you could buy at the door. My plan was to take my daughter this weekend, but on this site it says specifically no kids tickets at the door. http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/Buy-Tickets/

Thank you everyone! Yes, she genuinely enjoys everything Star Wars and doesn't like JarJar...thank God. I have a bunch of photos shot using B&W film. The extra grainy feel is fantastic when shooting S-Troopers and Vader.

My 3 1/2 year old daughter Taylor had a blast, you can see her smile through the helmet lens in some pictures. Her costume was made to her exact specifications. Since she saw Boba Fett (Darth Vorhees) at the Cradle of Aviation Museum troop this past June she wanted to be Boba Fett...but a pink & purple version. My wife and I bought a Rubies costume and removed all of the armor pieces. Then got a pattern and made a new suit, added some padding behind the armor pieces to give more definition, painted the helmet, and painted the blaster. Here's some photos from the troop...and the joke is on me because this is her 2nd fan troop with the 501st ECG...meanwhile my armor isn't completed. I'm still a Prospect with the Empire City Garrison and hope to be submitting my photos for approval very soon.

I'm on the same boat as you with the same exact situation due to cycling leg muscles. I've reached out to my local Garrison Liaison for help also. When I receive info/advice I'll share with you also. However, I'm certain a lot of info/help will be offered up on here as well. Thank you for starting this post!

^YES! I miss seeing the Iroc's, RS', and Mustang GT's. There were so many guys named Mario and Mike where I grew up they were named by their cars. Mario Iroc, Mario Beretta, Mario RS. I see those are NY plates on the car...is/was it yours or did that come up with a Google search? There's still a purple supercharged Iroc driving around Queens, NY.

The Fast & Furious trooper has LED lights and nitros oxide in the tank on his belt...it matches the F&F style car. Vrrrrrooooom. ^Joke...I'd assume the lights are for inside the helmet and could be turned off for the serious troops

you can come help me fit my armor and watch a 4 month old...while my 3 year old daughter runs around in her Boba Fett costume. sound appealing?

Thank you Ducati for starting this post. I'm waiting for my Doopy kit to arrive and then will start my build. Can you post a few of the finished product? A lot of the photo links are old in these posts so nothing shows up. I never get tired of seeing different styles of gun builds.

^ AGREED, fantastic product and quick shipping...don't even hesitate to buy one.

I just placed my order. Thanks for posting this thread and bump up for others that are looking.

HAHA get it on vid and post it! I'm hoping to be doing the same dance in a month or 2. Congrats.

Cracked pans and bent subframes are annoying. I'm assuming you have a 24V under that hood because if you have a 1.8T you can dial those down to a sport drop without a problem. The pic I posted in your car/armor thread is my MK3 Cabrio and friends GTI. You can't fit the front of your sneaker under my rockers. If you've heard the name Swoops or Hardlines By Swoops in the MK4 forums that's a friend Greg. His MK4 is beautiful. At least dial down those coils for another TK shot

If this was dropped on its belly like all VW's should be...it would be A LOT better. Buy those coils for your MK4 but have fun putting them in...the suspension on your car is a horror show to replace.
