Yeah ok . So I worded it a bit strongly
However.
Should those clearing troopers for the respective Garrisons/outposts etc not be saying
" Hold up. Any chance you could sort these 2 things please" ?
I mean. If a trooper has gone to all the effort of shelling out for all that kit, the time to build it and has a desire to join then are they really going to complain about shelling out $10 to sort them out if asked nicley?
To quote the CRL: " Blue tube stripes, matching what was used on screen - navy blue and black are not acceptable."
"Ab plate. The ab plate also has a button area that matches the color pattern shown (3 blue + 6 gray). Buttons are approximately 7/16" in diameter"
And yes, before its said, I know not everyone is 501st. And this obviously does not apply to existing member, although considering its ease of implication maybe it should.
