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/

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.

I was channel surfing the other night and came across the West Coast Customs show featuring a 2012 "B7" VW Passat. I've been modifying VW's since the early 90's and currently own 2 so I'm a big VW fan. I'm not a huge fan of the front bumper on this car but I like a lot of the concepts and the execution to those concepts are well done. I can't find more pics of the trunk...but they had a Vader, Tie Fighter, and Stormtrooper helmet in there. The interior of the car came out pretty well using the same stitching and fabric used in Vader's costume. The center console was modeled after Vader's chest piece. Post more pics if you have them and I hope this isn't a repost. Youtube, watch this for additional info:

I'm sure your HK G36 or HK MG4 weapons systems were, but a UK soldier from the 50's had that crude cylinder to deal with. Where ever your hand is meant to touch my BCM M4 weapons system there's a nice grip and is painted to match the terrain. Whether the the metal on the Sterling was ruff out of the factory or texture painted...I have no clue. From the link you sent it looks different from the one I posted and as much as I like to discuss weapons I don't want to split hairs on the subject. However, I'm sure that Vern is making his E11's to mirror the Sterling he has in his possession that I'd like to see pictures of. Vern, can you post up a pic of the real deal next to one of your E11's?

Exactly, the last thing you want is a weapons system that slips out of your hands during a fire fight. I'd like to see this build without a harsh direct flash. Vern, do you have any to post?

I've had "RATBASTIRD" since AOL first hit the scene. It was a great name to have when playing one of their lame but addictive chat games. They didn't allow me to put the "A" in TARD so that's where the "I" came from. This is the screen name I use for all the forums that are non-business related and when I have time to play video games... its used there also.

I've been reading through a lot of posts to educate myself before I make any armor/weapon purchases. I also have the same question about the barrel.
