  3. i cant wait till they show this kit at SDCC this weekend so everyone can see that this is NOT a recast of RS (as i said on page 3). just look at my build thread or any RS pictures and compare for yourself. this is part of the research that you should all be doing now while you are waiting. i have nothing against Anovos, i have given them lots of my money and i have ordered one of these TK kits myself.
  4. Here we go. Arrived a day before Canada Day (July 1st). my last kit (RS ANH) arrived a day before thanksgiving, this seems like a holiday thing the first two boxes with two more coming. the usual space in the dungeon to do an inventory check and devise a plan of attack. i handled some armour before Celebration, studied the TFA displays at Celebration and have a concurrent build buddy (Clamps) so this should go well.
  5. Ronald McDonald House Toronto always a special troop. cheering up the kids, families and staff. two boys came down with light sabers. Troop #200 for one of our members. Walk for Memories 25th Anniversary - fundraiser for the Alzheimer Society Toronto first troop for 3 new members. 1,500 walkers raised $600,000+ Canada = hockey some lovin' from Clamps Ontario Collectors Con kids see the vintage and new action figures then come out and see the full sized ones!

  8. UPDATE: besides changing from ABS to PVC, Anovos site updated to state: "armor is crafted from ANOVOS sculpts"
  9. nice job guys, great showing. (why are all the TKs right handed?)
  10. GenreCon small con in Guelph Ontario with Pickles and Royal Guard TR-25113 proves that events don't have to be big to be special, all it takes is one special fan to make it worthwhile. the Strong - National Museum of Play in Rochester NY. their annual "in Another Galaxy" weekend with the Garrison Excelsior looking for Dexter Jettster trying to blend in my "doll house" look sale on pet food. (cleanup in aisle 4) on the famous street of your childhood who are the people in your neighborhood? this is confusing? the gang
  11. Stormtroopers carry cylindrical thermal detonators that can be set for 6-18 seconds. All stormtroopers possessed a Baradium-core code key thermal detonator attached to the back of their torso armor. The thermal detonators were specially designed to ensure that only the stormtroopers themselves could utilize them, thus ensuring that Rebel troopers could not use the Imperials' own explosives against them. The security measures for the stormtroopers' thermal detonators included an arming code. To further prevent the explosives from being used by enemy combatants, the buttons on the thermal detonator were unlabeled. Each thermal detonator arming code was unique, known only to the soldier to whom the device was issued.
  12. Action Figure Expo toy show and vendors market. 14.5 troopers including a mini TK it was green and kinda sounded like a Jedi Master Hamilton Comic Con a medium sized con which is quickly growing in size. the 501st Canadian Garrison setup a good sized booth with 20 troopers with Clamps 0.5 hugs from "pickles" Star Wars Reads Day Richview Public Library in Toronto promoting literacy through Star Wars books and crafts
  13. FanExpo this is it. the largest con for us. at 130,000 spectators FanExpo is now the 3rd largest con in the world. all the sets and props are built by us. we work with the R2 Builders and Rebel Legion to put on a big show. with 501st founder Albin Johnson. we also had other special guest such as Mary Franklin of LucasFilm. back to school the white march on the lower right is Garrick Hagon (Biggs Darklighter from A New Hope)
  14. Rogers Cup (Canadian Open Tennis) world ranked tennis stars come for week long tournament. Canadian Garrison was there for family day. Toronto Stock Exchange - Opening Bell in the financial district of Toronto to ring in the opening bell in promotion of the upcoming FanExpo convention. good turnout of our TKs for this one. broadcasted worldwide. always putting me in front of the camera.
  15. Niagara Falls Comic Con this con is fun because, well its Niagara Falls this is what happens when you leave your post. (that's "clamps" yielding the stick) doing a local television interview but no talking. with Giancarlo Esposito (breaking bad, usual suspects, do the right thing) Toronto Animation Arts Festival International (TAAFI) Animators worldwide come together for this multi-day festival. the Canadian Garrison was there for the festival highlight party. 6 TKs including "Clamps" a surprise entrance. Dan Povermire, one of the co-creators of Phineas and Ferb and the voice of Dr. Doofenshmirtz., tweets about his stormtrooper shock a photo booth and props, then things get silly, yes that is the Nelvana logo, the Toronto animation studio who drew Boba Fett for the 1978 christmas special. a LOT of stormtrooper love going on here... no i don't know who she was. still looking Jeff "Swampy" Marsh is the other co-creator of Phineas and Ferb and the voice of Major Monogram. 5 weeks later the excellent Phineas and Ferb Star Wars special is released. coincidence? VANS Star Wars myself, Clamps and R2D2 on hand to promote the VANS Star Wars line of shoes and apparel. these stripes don't scan properly

Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra - The music of John Williams with Garrison Excelsior for on-stage appearance and post show interaction 2 night sold out show. a thrill to have a full orchestra behind you playing Star Wars and an audience of 2,000 in front of you. Rochester Lilac Festival Parade in New York state with the Garrison Excelsior. Television coverage. FunExpo small con in Welland Ontario (near Niagara Falls) three shades of Stormtroopers! the crew with Anthony Forrest, the original "move along" sandtrooper from A New Hope proving that i am not too short to be a stormtrooper with Pam Rose, the original Leesub Sirln from the Cantina scene in A New Hope

Make-A-Wish this was a special private event at Toronto's Casa Loma (the only full sized castle in north america) to send a special girl on a her dream trip. those of you who know the X-Men movies will recognize that staircase from a certain school for gifted youngsters Free Comic Book Day at Stadium Comics bringing in a new generation of stormtrooper lovers. with puppycat (youtube it)
  18. Toronto Comicon this spring con is the second largest in the city held over three days at the base of the CN tower. those pesky Jedi... Matthew Wood - LucasFilm LegoLand Discovery Centre entertain the kids and... LEGO! Toronto Beaches Easter Parade if anyone asks what does Star Wars have to do with an easter parade? - THIS is why.
  19. TK16180 (aka Squeaky) on active duty. I am a member of the very active 501st Canadian Garrison. I will be posting pictures and descriptions of the various 501st missions I have participated in including joint missions with the Capital City Garrison, Garrison Excelsior and other international garrisons. I will post some highlights from last year until caught up with current missions.
  20. where does it say that AP is cast from original armour? RS is the only kit that is a verified first-generation cast of an original suit. all others are fan sculpt (and some great fan sculpts). not criticizing, just clarifying.
  21. must be a boba thing...
  22. confirmed as being portrayed by Gwendoline Christie who is 6'3".
  23. nice. i'm running campy. this is more interesting than ebay armor but bike p0rn is for another forum
