Outstanding job!

Wow. Cool info and neat that uncle George helped at one point.

Wow, quite an achievement. Congrats and special thanks for all you've done on FISD.

They are FX for sure and the thighs FX came with. GF did the original sculpt IIRC back in the day, hence "GF thighs". Sometime around 2006 or 2007, "Mr. FX" changed the thigh molds to be more barrell shape and shorter length-wise, thus cursing anyone without tree trunk legs to have the "board short" look if they didn't think to trim them down first. Why he didn't offer them both is beyond me. Those original thighs are gold for a guy like me (6'0", long legs) as there is no other maker (with the possible exception of TM) who would look as good on us tall skinny guys.

Wow - those are the original GF thighs. Those things are like gold as they are not available anymore. I once bought a set for $90. If you ever decide to sell them and they have not otherwise been shimmed/trimmed - please lmk!

PT was banned not just for recasting TE2 w/o permission, but also lying about it as well. Sad, but he was given a path to redemption and chose not to take it.

Sweet as honey!

Can you show a pix of the thighs? Just wondering if they are the original narrow ones or the newer barrell ones.

We should put MOT on the same known recaster/avoid list as PT and the rest of that ilk. We have a Where to Buy, we should have a Where to Avoid as well. Even TE could be on there too for taking money w/o delivering.

Yes, there is only one. What do you think I look like under my helmet?

Thanks for all your hard work Eric - poopy happens sometimes with these things, and it wasn't your fault as a root cause. The main thing is we're fully operational.

I used to say "you don't want to know" when brown boxes showed up, now I show her everything until she's sick of hearing about it.

Yay - will be good to have you back in the saddle. AP is good stuff, it should do you well.

You can Hero-ize TE derived helmets too. Personally I dig the Hero look, but has been said many times over it's your lid so do what appeals to you.

Thanks Tom - so where does that leave me today for an EI submission? From what I can see I can have a hyperfirm ESB E-11, but will have to add a holster for EI, even though I'd have to take it off for Centurion? Should I be able to leave the holster off for EI? I know there is what the CRL states as of today, but am wondering if that's going to be firm for awhile or is the holster thing worth revisiting again?

Thanks for the background Tom. Here is what I'd like to propose: 1. If we're going to allow the ESB E-11 for base 501st, we should allow the ANH E-11 for base 501st as well. 2. Have the extended stock just be for Centurion. 2. Have the holster be allowed (but not required) for Basic CRL, and removed from EI & above. The action figure is basically a painted ANH trooper, and I'm not sure should be given precedence for CRL over the game references. Does that sound OK?

Then why are ESB OK but not ANH? Also, since many of the screen caps show no holster, perhaps it can be omitted at EI or Centurion? I ask in that this is how the HWT is too, and there's no holster on the game references for that either.

So I'm thinking of applying for TKC EIB, but the CRL says that for EI one can only use an ESB or ROTJ blaster. I'm getting old so can't recall - what was the reasoning why ANH blasters could not be applicable? And, since the SE-14R is allowed, does that mean I can use my SE-14R if I don't have an ESB blaster with a folding stock? I have to be honest it's something I really didn't consider much about until here I am considering pending application. I'm wondering if the folding stock should perhaps be Centurion level rather than EI, given how few people have that mod on their blasters and may want to re-use their hyperfirm for this. It's also strange that the folding stock is required on both EI (ROTJ & ESB), but it only has to be extended for Centurion if ROTJ. I think that's a miss when we re-did these last time - I mean if it doesn't have to be extended, how would one know it has a folding stock, and why only for ROTJ & not ESB?

No problems on my end either, using hotmail.com live.com or even via messenger.

Looking good

Dude, I so can't wait to see this in person. I only have a TM lid - you'll be the first in the garrison to have his armor now. You're making me wish I still lived up in your neck of the woods.

Hey Brent - you can also send this to Invision too, and they may fix it in their next release. Given that millions of people will using it in the fall, the sooner they fix this the better.

It is a proud day for the Empire! Well done sir, well done!

And as your GML I replied. My only concern realy is the split cod as the cut line is visible from the front when you're standing full erect. Err...that sounded funny, but you know what I mean. Fix that and you're EI too IMHO.

Oh - and are you going for Centurion out of the gate? I think you'll hit EI for sure except for the hand guards (which need to be latex on rubber gloves). For Centurion, you'd need the hand guards and also the snaps on the crotch area. Otherwise you got the details set up well.
