Where are you guys getting those kneepads? Those are really cool.

I really like the technical side of the commentaries. I love listening to Ben Burtt telling how the sounds were made (what a great job). However, yeah, it is obvious they are not all sitting there watching the movies. I would have loved to hear one with just Mark, Carrie and Harrison sitting around just shooting the bull. The only problem I have ever had with this type of commentary is sometimes they will start telling a story and then pass over another scene that you really did want to hear about. IMHO the absolute hands down best commentaries are Kurt Russell and John Carpenter. Listen to theirs on "The Thing" or "Escape From New York". Those are PRICELESS!!!! Also the "in character" commentary on "This is Spinal Tap" That one is as funny as the movie itself..

Cows aren't so bad...Cow tipping was fun when I was young and drunk

I've always wondered about the armor over the clothes, too. I remember reading somewhere (may have been here, can't remember) where someone suggested that maybe the body suit was kind of like those vacuum freezer bags. Maybe the suit deflates to a larger size when taken off and when put back on it shrinks up really tight. I could go with that line of thinking for the suit over their clothes but, yeah, the boots are a whole other thing all together..... For that matter- why did they even change back into their civies after getting out of the trash compactor anyway? They were still deep in enemy territory. Wouldn't it have been safer to stay in disguise? I know they left their helmets in the detention block but still-- some camoflauge is better than none. I mean they were back in the Falcon just a little bit later anyway. I wonder what George's justification for that was? Why not just leave them in the armor until they got back on the ship? Maybe just to keep them more identifiable to the audience? Sorry, didn't mean to thread hijack.....

I am confused here. What are the rules for this game? Seems to be just throwing out random lines from the movies. What is the point to this? I don't understand--someone enlighten me please.

Ah, thanks.

How do you check your PMs on this board? I usually get an email telling me there is one but after that how do you find it again? I must be really dumb because I can't figure out how to get to them.

That's just about the best looking 89 suit I've ever seen. I really wish they had stayed with that kind of mask with Bale. The long ears, the thick neck-- to me that's true Batman. Hate that C3PO neck on the current suit.

It's best if you score the area where the IS velcro is going to go. Sand that area first to remove any gloss, then use an exacto blade and make some criss-cross pattern where it's going to stick. It's just like any other glue--it needs something to get a grip on. Also, the IS velcro adhesive needs to set up for about a day before you try to pull it apart. This is the way I did mine and have never had a problem.

Damn, those ostrich eggs ARE handy things to have around aren't they?

What should they scream?

Unless you simply have no hands, you CAN do it. The hardest part is getting over that daunting feeling that it is an impossible job. What exactly did you try to do and how did you fail at it? Whatever it was there are many people on this board who can help you to correct it. Don't give up. I sat and just looked at my armor for weeks just too scared to touch it, wishing someone was here to do it for me. You just have to dive in and go for it. Do you actually have armor yet or are you just trying to find a pre made set? You actually can find them already put together, but it is going to be fitted to some other person. Trust me when I say it is a great feeling to finally do it yourself. The feeling of accomplishment is terrific. remember "can't never could"

Thanks, those are all keepers.

Two words---HOT CHICKS!!! Well, you asked........

Those are what I have. Everytime I troop I keep swearing that as soon as it's over I'm going to rivet them to my belt. But I always forget. It's one of the first things some of those rotten kids go for.

Yeah little kids with lightsabers can really be a pain. Pretty much every one will want to start whacking away at a trooper. The worst part is that most parents just think it is funny, and some will even encourage it. It can be a sticky situation.

It really is easier if you have somebody that can do the measuring on you while you are wearing it. At least that's the way I did it. But I'm sure many have done it without help.

Yeah, I too am confused on what you mean by "stickers all over it to give it the shine". Can you elaborate some more, because I was planning on picking one of these up for a spare lid.

Oh, that was cool.

Have to admit that is a damn good looking neckseal. However since I rarely de-helmet while trooping I'll stick with my nice and comfortable one.

Had to actually go to the main legion boards and look myself up to remember. Joined December 2006. Actually trooped twice before I was officially accepted, so I've actually been in armor since October 2006 and actually got my armor in May 2006. Spent a few months researching and building my armor. My buddy and I got armor at the same time and we would spend almost every Saturday researching websites on how to build each and every part. Then we would debate which set of instructions to use, finally decide on one and then do it. Those were fun Saturdays, lots of beer and good times. Building your first set of armor makes you as giddy as a school kid.

I downloaded the Malwirebytes and ran it. But after the scan it said "some items could not be removed" so I don't know if I am good or not. It found 174 infected files and removed them. I used to download a lot of music and I guess thats where I got this. No more of that for me. Now that I have this Malwirebytes will it conflict with my Norton?

Has anyone been hit with this? I got hit with this yesterday. My computer kept telling me it was infected. The pop ups looked like legitimate Windows warnings. My computer would not let me do anything other than go to this AV security site. I tried to call Microsoft but was on hold for over an hour. Finally it was so late at night I gave in (stupidly) and purchased this crap. It scanned my computer for over two hours.Finally telling me I had all these infected files and it (supposedly) cleaned them. Everything worked fine after that. Today at work I Googled it and found out it was a sham. I instantly went home and cancelled the payment on the credit card. I then went into my uninstall program and it let me uninstall it (I think). But I went to several sites on AV security suite and all of them say it is impossible to remove without buying their cleaning software such as Spyware Doctor or Stopzilla or such. I tried to restore my computer to a previous date but my computer keeps saying "restore failed" so I started checking into that and my computer is telling me to turn off my Norton to restore. I'm kind of afraid to do that at this point. My question is--was I able to uninstall it? Why do these sites say it is impossible to get rid of. They also say this thing replicates. So while my computer seems fine now I guess it can come back. At this point I don't even know if these cleaning software things such as Spyware doctor or stopzilla are even legit. I've never heard of them. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do? I don't want to spend more money on something to fix it until I know if it is for real or not. But when it hit my computer I could not open ANYTHING. So if it comes back I won't even be able to download the stuff to fix it. Then I'll end up just having to buy another computer. Someone PLEASE give me some advice!!!!!!!!

Would I be correct in assuming you are under 30? I only ask this because I was the same way until I got to be in my early thirties. Never gained and ounce from about the time I was 15 to 30. If that is your case BELIEVE ME--enjoy it while you can. No amount of fast metabolism can overcome Father Time and his gift of the love handles. If you ARE over thirty, you are one of the few lucky ones with this problem

It will probably stretch some the more you wear it. Put it on and run around and contort your body into every possible position you can. Test it out really good. You wouldn't want it to bust a seam or a zipper on your first troop.
