  1. More motivation......... Glue fumes in the air!!! Ahhh....... Head spinning................
  2. Hey I'm all about swag.............Looking forward to the T-Shirt pole to be complete and then the ordering begins I hope. When you say "volunteer" you mean? PM the info if ya want.
  3. Can anyone point this newbie to the place or person to contact to get a, or some FISD stickers. Am I too late? I don't need a bunch, I just want some to advertise my allegiance. Or if anyone knows of a good sorce for some stickers for the empire. Thanks Troops
  4. As everyone I've read about so far has had nothing but great things to say about this seller and his product. I think we all just got lucky and someone actually cares about customer service. I know I'm still a newb here but man was I glad to find these boots. Now I can move on to getting my armor ready and not worry about boots that might not pass the 501st. This is the real deal, you just can't beat it.
  5. Great photos! I'll be using these as reference for my TK project. Is that a PT helmet also? Thanks Trooper, and I dig your handle.
  6. I've tried to post over on the Spec Ops and I can't seem to get anywhere. Still validating or something it says. So I just hang around here and bug all the TKs. How long have you been on the Spec Ops? Yes the price was the determing factor on the PT set.. (a bit too much) I know ATA armor is able to be pulled in black, howerver for now it's not the super shiny stuff like my FX ABS. PM if you want the info he gave me.......... (Super) nice guy. He's a (Trooper) for sure.
  7. (First off I'm stuck at work and I can't see these picture till I get home..........And it's killing me) My TX is a FX and I've had it for about a year now. (slow to get it all together, that's just me) I've seen a set on the bay made by PirateTrooper that looks cool! (it's not a FX) I was tempted to buy one of his helmet kits because it too looks way cool. I changed my mind due to a earlier post I had put on here about that ........ (still looks cool though)
  8. You know I'm not sure. I've asked the question too and really haven't heard back on it yet. I would love to see a picture of a side by side comparison. I'm sure someone is out there with this info, this place hasn't let me down yet.
  9. Great news, (if you don't already know) Star Wars in Concert dates have been updated and it's official for my area St. Louis. December 10th at Scottrade Center 7:30 p.m. I will be totally geeking out. http://www.scottradecenter.com/STC-events/starwars.html Just thought I'd pass on the info. And it looks like they might be stopping in other parts of the US too... Bust out the Bic lighters!
  10. Smitty that looks way cool! Is that a ATA? What did you use for the lenses? Now I'm just thinking do them both. MRCE and get a ATA. (Can you ever have to many lids?.........I think not) Great input!!!
  11. Yes I agree Flat is the way to go. The Hero is just for looks. I just got this in a email. Not making my decision any easier. It looks smoother than I was thinking it would be, so a glossy coat might not look too bad. Still debating in my head.............
  12. That's it! I had not seen that on StarWarsHelmets.com, I don't know how I missed it. Now to find some Hero mirrored lenses. Hey Smitty! Thanks all for the help.
  13. Thanks Brain Stormers, Idalized I think I know what you mean here, I guess I want my cake and eat it. I do have a set of ANH ears I could add to the MRCE. I was just going to shave the originals down to size. I'll have to look at this... Have any of you guys sized up a ATA. How does it compare to what I have? Some of the pictures I've seen it appears to be smaller. Also yep the ATA in black HIPS would still need painting to get the gloss. The advantage would be for Trooping if it got a serious scratch there would be black underneath. I'm not affrad of using paint and buffing it out to a great shine. I'm starting to get to where I can tell by site different makes of helmats (Thanks StarWarsHelmets.com). I know I hate FX lids...and I'm getting to where there seams to be more MRCE. Don't get me wrong I like some of the features of the MRCE (that's why i have 2 of them, 1 to mess with). The avatar I got off the net somewhare. (Sorry I can't give the guy credit, but I liked it too) Can you guys tell me what type of helmet this is? This is where I'd like to be headed. Smitty thanks for the input, My work server also blocks pics, I'll check it out when I get home. This place is the best !
  14. Alright I'm stuck.. I keep going over and over in my head which buket I should paint black for my TX. I knnow this is a TK site and I've tried to get on the Spec Ops forum but I can't post over there. So it's up to you all. I have a MRCE and a TE and I could get a ATA. I like the way the TE looks but it's a bumpy cap and with it being black every little bump will be magnified. I could take the time to sand and smooth it down but there again that takes away from the look. MRCE, I like it but it's just not quite right. I would have to do the ANH mod trick to get it up to speed. The cool thing is it is compltetly smooth and would probably shine up nice. ATA I've been in touch with and he said he could pull one in black. I have only seen picture on here of the helmet and I haven't seen size or side by side shots yet. (StarWarsHelmets where are you) If anyone knows of a picture let me know. So after saying this I guess what is going through my head. Do I mess with the MRCE or not. I've been watching the prices go up on the bay. I could probably turn it into some cash to pay for a different helmet. Are these really that rare or is just the Halloween effect? Anyone have a differnet idea let me know. I'm just brain storming here. Thanks,

    I completely agree. When it comes to EU I think a shoulder harness would be way cool on a TX. I'm all about canon when it comes to TK. To me it makes since for a Shadowtrooper to have Special Ops equipment. (Silencer for the E11, Sniper Scoped BFG's and yes maybe even a Light Saber smaller stealth model) Just thinking here............. Any ideas for the holster?
  16. I agree on the BIG THANKS! And also Thanks goes out to TK5144 for starting this post and giving everyone here this information. Thank you TK5144!
  17. They look to me to be white leather. (Not dyed white over black) I would think these should hold up nicely. Since they are all white the only thing might be getting scuff marks on them. I think that will just go with the territory. I personally don't think you can go wrong with these boots. I went and bought some black boots (for my TX) before these came in. I should have ordered 2 pair and made one black. (which I might still do......) I think you'll like these, I can't compare them to CaBoots, I never owned a pair. Well the leather on these seems to be just right not to shiny. Try'em you can't go wrong for the price.
  18. I forgot to tell you about the fit. I think they will work out perfect. I ordered a 10. I wear a 9.5 to 10 and I'd say these run right on size. (a 10) So order your size I don't think you'll be disappointed. Just a great shoe for the price. Great service, super fast shipping..............MAN What a great DEAL!!! Go get them gang!!
  19. Guess what showed up in the mail??? WOW!! Yep!! Looking good to me! And a picture of my good friend helping me out fitting my armor. He just lays around a lot. Hope this worked my first uploaded pictures, if not I'll try again.
  20. This looks to be very funny when finished. Thanks for the entertainment trooper.
  21. Just stopping by to say Hi.
