    Hello all, I've been cruising the forum for a couple months. I am a newly approved ESB Vader (SL-95112) planning to start working on a Trooper kit. I am excited to get going on the next build. I keep going back and forth on the Scout and Storm Trooper?! Decisions, decisions.

    Hello everyone,<br><br>

    My name is Dan, Im 39 married with 3 kids (13, 9, 4) currently 20 year US Navy Seabee. I have been a Star Wars fan my whole life and now thanks to the fantastic Episode 7 my kids are too. I have known about the 501st for years and always had an interest but shy'd away for $ and time. After talking someone in Garrison Tyranus at the Tidewater ComicCon in Virginia Beach, VA I am excited to finally pull the trigger. I am a builder by trade and very handy so I am most excited to start some costume builds. I will say while I am a SW fan I am very ignorant to all the different variants and such of all the suits. It seems that I am interested in a ANH, ESB or RTJ standard trooper and a Darth Vader (not sure which yet) to start off. Perhaps you all could give me suggestions as to where to purchase and which kits are best to start with. <br><br>

    Star Wars means a lot to me, it has and always will be apart of my life. I'm not an extreme collector or anything (not that I wouldn't love to be Just like many of us the original trilogy and its toys have a huge nostalgia for me and gives me that warm fuzzy feeling. I went through a period that I lost interest after the prequals came out and I sold off most of my collections... TFA re-ignited my passion and brought my kids into it. Its a great time to be a Star Wars fan. <br><br>
