  2. Cover strip sheets

    I need to buy a sheet of PVC white cover strip material.  Working on my RS Kit PVC Stormtrooper.  Finished the build of the Helmet first.  Now getting to all the cover strip making and discovered it was ABS rather than PVC, which is discolored more tanish than the 'idealized' PVC.  It will also yellow faster.  So, apparently they may have grabbed the wrong stock sheet to send me.  Is there somewhere I can BUY a couple of PVC white  sheets from someone in the States here that is the same material (I believe 1.5 mm is correct?)  It's been a couple days since I've written Rob and a day after emailing Andrea.  Am I being impatient?  Is this normal - happened to anyone else?  :s

    Have you checked places like McMaster Carr? 

  8. Celebration 2019 Announced

    in Off Topic

    Celebration London 2015 was a lot of fun and the 40 Year Celebration in Orlando was EPIC. I was expecting Anaheim this time around to coincide with the new Star Wars themed land at Disneyland which opens in the spring of 2019. I was poised to book my flights and hotel and... then the announcement... Chicago. 

     

    Chicago? Wait. What?!? 

     

    Sigh.

     

    I love going to Celebrations but there’s nothing else there of interest to me so it’s hard to justify the time and expense. I’ll skip the 7000 mile flight and spend the cash elsewhere.

     

    To those who will be going, have fun! And to those who have never been , you’re in for a treat BUT plan ahead and expect to spend your nights sleeping on the floor of the queue hall while waiting in line for wristbands if you can’t buy the high level passes.

  20. **SPOILER ALERT** So what about TLJ?

    I liked the film overall. I was entertained and I like the character development of Rey and Kylo. I felt it was a fitting ESB 2.0 to accompany TFA which I saw as ANH for a new generation. Even though the plot has more holes than a screen door at least the Porgs weren't the new JarJar like I feared. ;)

    That said, I agree with most of PGHTrooper21's list above. There were a lot of odd questions and that remained and odd moments which didn't need to happen. It's felt sloppy. There was a moment where Poe put his foot through the floorboard of the V-4X-D speeder and said, "What the hell?!?" and I was thinking, "...said no one in the Star Wars universe... ever." The concept of heaven and hell has never been introduced in Star Wars so this exclamation made zero sense. The bombers dropping bombs in space was sheer comedy and the lack of explanation about the codebreaker guy was unacceptable. I felt it supposed to be obvious that the "real" codebreaker was the guy the met in the prison cell who was just Lando 2.0 but it could have been so much better. I've thought about it and I would've liked to have seen Billy Dee Williams revisit the Lando role for this part. It would have been nice to revisit another aging character we all know and show that, though he became a good guy, he still couldn't change his spots and betrayed them again in his own opportunistic way. It was too perfect and they missed it.
