Done. And I see that @Nairy’s memes have escaped the FISD and spread to the Legion and Pathfinder boards. 😄

48. Flower City Comic Con, 15 September 2024 One of our members bought a very nicely designed white lightsaber with black trim (perfect TK colors!) which I had to pose with: Question: Is this a Jawa problem, or a droid problem?

So that was $2 per approved costume, and another $1 per WIP ... Just kidding. Donated.

Focus on the ROTK USB port on the ab buttons - that's what I noticed first.

47. North American Science Fiction Convention, 20 July 2024 This was a first for our garrison, so there were a couple of small hiccups. What was planned as a three-day troop for us a single day. And with us in the convention center and most of the scheduled events in the adjacent hotel, we were limited in our trooping. But there are always good points about every troop: I got a couple of autographs from Guest of Honor Alan Dean Foster when he visited our table: I saw this during my first troop in the convention center a couple of years ago, but hadn't gotten a picture yet: This planet doesn't look familiar ... You are here: (Actually you weren't there; you were an inch-and-a-half east-northeast (insert "aim" joke [here]).)

46. Nickel City Comic Con, 30 June 2024 Day 2 was spent in my Mandolorian Death Watch, so no pictures of that here, or @Doggydoc in his Darth Maul ... Day 3 of the con: Obligatory group shot: Guess how I spent most of the day (most of the weekend, actually): I was senselessly attacked by a web-headed wall-crawling vigilante (if you look close, you can see the web lines attached to my armor): And we presented a welcome bag to Daniel Logan, who graciously agreed to a group photo in front of our Jabba puppet:

The Garrison Web Master is on vacation, so there was a delay, but I see you're registered and posting now, so it's all good.

Greetings from Western New York! I really don't have much to add to what Glen and Mario already posted, but stop by the Garrison Excelsior forums and say hello: https://www.garrisonexcelsior.com/forum/. We are kind of sparse Upstate, so you're more likely to get useful help here, but there might be a couple unbuilt and unwanted Stormtrooper kits floating around the Garrison.

44. Webster/Rochester Library Summer Reading Kick-off; 21 June 2024 This was the second time I've done this troop. Thankfully the temperatures dropped from the low 90s earlier in the week to more comfortable 80℉ (34 to 26℃). Forced perspective does weird things ( @tdurden is taller than me, but not that much taller): @tdurden and @Manbehindthemask enjoying the games:

This is the problem with seeing people only twice a year, and with buckets on most of the time!

43. Niagara Falls Comic Con, 9 June 2024 Still waiting on getting copies of the group shoot and being the target for the celebrities, but here are Femi Taylor and Paul Blake:

42. Niagara Falls Comic Con; 8 June 2024 Another Canadian troop that's practically in my backyard that I made it to for the first time this year. I've mentioned it before, but it bears repeating - the Canadian Garrison has some really nice props: One of my three (or was it four) shifts at Blast-a-Trooper: And I met Roxy! ... who just wanted some scritches
