Does anyone know if there are still people making speakers for the aerators in a TK lid? I remember seeing some thread about it when I built my ATA kit about 3 years ago and I want to make the sound come out as sonically accurate as possible location-wise so I built my own amp to fit in the lid, but now I can't find those speakers.

I have an ATA kit, as well. I cheated and got 2 12v computer fans from radio shack, and then ran 2 9v batteries on each of them in sequence with individual buttons so you can use one or both at any given time. I just mounted them inside the lid on the bottom screw for the ear piece of the helmet. The holes in the fan are close enough in size that they didn't need nuts or anything to keep them in place, and that way if I decided to vent the helmet I could just flip one of the fans over. If I didn't need them, I just rotated them back inside the helmet out of view, but you can't really see them anyway. So far I haven't burned out either fan, and it gets hot out here. I use them quite a bit in the winter, too, to keep my lenses from fogging up.

Any news on if/when these will be available to buy? Or will that be on the new forum? I'm totally interested, and now my roommate is drooling over my shoulder for one, too, lol.

Some of the costuming reminds me of Firefly. Just gritty and harkening back to the whole low-budget, raw feel of the original movies. No flash, no glam, just enough for what needs to be done. I love it.

I dig the new look. I'm a little apprehensive, and always will be because I love the ANH troopers, but this kinda gives me the feel of some of the old Ralph Mcquarrie stuff and that isn't bad on any level. ALTHOUGH...I do have to admit...it seems weird that even after the fall of the Empire (I know the core planets were still pretty loyal to the Empire after it was all said an done) the armor would have been updated/improved so drastically for a foot soldier in a now essentially retreating force. I would expect the Empire to be mashing up bits of whatever they could salvage since they have become the new "rebellion". But that is just me being overly critical, I guess, haha. But hell, look at Kir Kanos, even though that was only a few years after ROTJ in the timeline, his armor and every character in the series was pretty much holding true to the look of the past characters. Anyway...I digress...the new lid looks badass and I can't wait to see the rest of the armor.
