  1. Ok, weighing up options! I know E11 isn't required for 501st approval, but while I'm waiting on my armor...damnit I WANT one! ;-)<br> Narrowed down (don't have time to build myself) to a concerted Hasbro via a local Garrison member on commission, or a B grade hyperfirm. I know one only bounces & the other goes "pew pew pew", but what are thoughts ($ is equivalent) on which is best choice - I'm just doing this to troop and am not super fussed on screen accuracy (please don't stone me!!!)
  2. Hi all - hoping to be able to get my 501st membership in the new year (armor will be arriving shortly), and I'm spending lots of time reading various threads about the build. But one thing I'm curious about is what to actually expect at my first formal troop. Obviously they're all different, but any general insights??
  3. Well, this thread just took an interesting turn! Lol ;-)
  4. Thanks guys. As was the deal when I first started looking at armor, it all looks the same until you actually know what you're looking at/for. Having watched a few you tube kit conversion videos it's obvious now.<br> One issue though is shortage of availability of the Hasbros for the conversion kits. I'm assuming the kits would work on the Disney version also?
  5. Hi all - what kind of interior padding do you have in your Bucket? I'm looking into options. I have a big melon, so likely won't need much, but want comfort over anything.
  6. Hi all - pending my armor and of course thinking of all the other "stuff" I need/want. I'm in this for 501st and trooping. Be honest with a cash strapped newbie - because blasters are not required for 501 approval, if I buy a hasbro E11 and ONLY paint it (ie no conversion kit), is that any kind of significant issue???
  7. Hi guys - can someone point me in the right direction to a thread or recommendation for a seller on the various audio components for a TK - I saw somewhere the microphone leading to a speaker that includes the static bursts?
  8. Hi all - I see all the options on buying the Hasbros and Disney Blasters and converting, but wanted to know what options exist on buying fully converted/built E-11's for immediate Trooping. Anyone work on Commissions for these conversions, or who sells them ready to go? Appreciate the input!
  9. Is this what you bought? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2015-Disney-Parks-Star-Wars-White-STORMTROOPER-BLASTER-Toy-Gun-Sound-Light-Up-/271911690166?hash=item3f4f331fb6
  10. I'm looking for my first boots for my TK armor. What is / is not acceptable for basic 501st acceptance?
  11. Thanks guys. Do most of the usual armor sellers sell TD kits, or are there separate vendors? <br> I understand the logic on needing to do one or the other...but for arguments sake, are those differing items available to buy individually/as a conversion kit (ie new ab plate, new sniper/shin armor, shoulder straps?)
  12. Hi all -final stages of my research &amp; prep to buy a TK kit...but now I get to thinking! My ultimate goal is to have a TD for trooping, and was assuming I'd "dirty up" my TK after a while to do that. However, now wondering if I should just go all out and make my first kit into a TD. Or is that likely too much to take on for a first build with no experience (and given my eagerness to "get trooping")?!<br><br> Thoughts and input appreciated! Other than the paulderon, ammo pouch, cheesegrater (?) hands, anything else needed for an entry level TD (I've been looking at MEPD too).
  13. Hi guys - first off thank you for all the help you've provided me so far with my armor questions. I'm getting close to pulling that trigger! <br> Last question...as a 5'7" "stocky" guy,is there any armor I should avoid, given that I was born short but beautiful? I've heard TM and AM might be more designed for those taller troopers. Just want to avoid excess trimming/adjustments if I can.<br> As always, any thoughts appreciated!<br> Jefferson
  14. Hi all - sorry to post such a remedial question, but I'm having issues getting the "search" function to work. Can someone share the contact info for RT-MOD (looking into TK Armor) Thanks!
  15. Let me ask a dumb question. Starsaber comments "Trey has MonCal"...I'm in discussions here in Denver / Mountain Garrisson with a trooper called MonCal re: some armor. Same person I'm assuming. What does "Trey has MonCal" mean?? I'm still trying to figure out all the ins and outs and phrases of this business...
  16. I see some helmets with one, some the other<br> Any preferences, reason for one over the other?
  17. Hi all - as yoda told me other day, "mmmmm, research you must!!!" (Ok, I had been drinking, but I'm pretty sure that happened)...<br> Anyway, I THINK I've managed to identify these key armor options to review, compare &amp; contrast in order to make that final armor decision (for 501st use, just entry level approval). My main reason for this post is to see if there are any other armorers out there I should consider. Please let me know. However, if you have any commentary on the ones I have identified, you're welcome to chime in!<br> So, I've identified so far: TM, T/MC, AM, MTK, RS Prop and AP.<br> (ATA has advised a 10-11 month wait list time, so they're out right now).<br> Thanks guys, I really appreciate your input. I know the final choice is mine, but you have a wealth of info I'd like to take advantage of!<br> Jefferson<br> (FYI, I'm 5'7", 185lb if that makes any choice differences)
  18. Hi all - sorry if I overlooked, but is there a list of the main differences between the original trilogy TK's on the forum so for easy comparison? Also between the stunt & hero for ANH? Either by list it pics?
