TK 2759

Proof job thus far, and now that you've got a build thread, even better!<br><br> It's a story, of a man in armour... Sorry Brady bunch moment there... First things first... I took wife and kids to the park one summer, and brought my armour along. I got suited up at the park, as it was a nice day, and why not... Armour, holster, and blaster. Lots of photo ops at that time, after a couple of hours, a cop car showed up, and two officers came up to me for identification. My wife was there, as our kids were playing in the park. Told them about the 501st, and what we do, and who we are... Apparently they got a call, "masked man with a gun".<br><br> Next, I was picking up kids at the YMCA in the summer, think it was the next one after previous encounter. I lived not too far, so got suited up as before, and walked over. On the way There were photo ops, and as I got near to my destination was pulled over by a cruiser... Same thing, ran through the 501st intro, who we are, what we do... He also got a call, "masked man with a gun".<br><br> Third and last time... Kids were at school, it was the first nice day we had in a long time, so decided to pick kids up in armour. I left the house at 2:30 and had a bit of wait time as kids got out of school at 3:30... I waited about a block away at a mailbox. There were a few photo ops and at about 3 a cruiser stopped on the opposite block. The officer got out with his hand on his gun, as I started removing my bucket... He told me to remove my "gun" from the holster using two fingers... Then said, never mind he'll do it... He came up and said this isn't even real... We talked about the prop weapon, which trigger doesn't even move, and the 501st and what my intentions were... Eventually CTV showed up, and talked with the officer as well. Apparently the officer as notified for "masked man with a gun" again, and the CTV Cameraman even said, "masked man with a gun, Stormtrooper, huge difference." All in all, officer left, and I got a 2 minute interview in armour that made the news. <br><br> Fourth time I walked around neighbourhood in armour, I left blaster at home, a few photo ops, and no one called the police lol. If you decide to take a walk in armour, leave your prop weapons at home, there's less hassle, for you and the police. Each time I've gone outside of the house in armour, it's always been fun... Last thanksgiving we had family coming, so an hour before they were expected, I stood at the gate to our condo complex (without blaster), and was thanked by someone leaving, for protecting the complex lol

Ok so by the end,of this week, we should have 5 troopers ready to troop lol

This question is better suited for the ANOVOS staff...

Hopefully ETSY will have them take it down...

For Canadians it is up to the event requestor if weapons are prohibited or not. We still have events with blasters, and some without.

You can also purchase one of those plastic storage bins from wal-mart in the seasonal section. It's what I did, but it doesn't have wheels... My bucket doesn't fit in the bin, and with a little ingenuity, wheels can be added.

Good to see you're still there too. We may not be so active, but we are always watching! You have been warned lol

TFA also includes women within their ranks, I'm uncertain if the OT did as well...

Should change the topic to FISD AP kit in waiting hangout... Lol

ABS is screen accurate, PVC is not...

Unless people are working or talking directly with ANOVOS, everything is speculation. As far as delivery time, they are well within range of winter, as the end of winter is in March ...

From my understanding of AP, it's one of the more accurate suits of ANH armour one can get... Would not need to change much, if anything at all.

Welcome to the FISD!

A list for the 501st... Sorry, we got dibs though lol

P I put my name on the list for the TFA armour, when and if there's another run of it...

Don't think we have a local Kylo Ren, but yea, I thought the new TKs would steal our spotlight... No worries though, doubt they get as many hugs on the knee caps as I have lol but time will tell ...

He's just too noisy lol

Stormtroopers at any event seem to be most popular, until Vader shows up lol

That thread has gone through various topics lol always a laugh to read though

No more Mark something neck seals?

Not so certain on this, as Finn was assigned garbage patrol...

It's not in how many people you kill, it's how strangely you can die lol

Welcome aboard!

My friend ordered his from there, one size up. He says they fit great.
