Don't forget the Sentinel. She's pretty heavily armed for a transport and carries 54 of us!
-
Mine was only around $120 as well.

Yup ok got it, (wow that got a lil odd
) Any way I went with size 9's even through I wear size 8.5's he said it would be better to go one size up so will see.Let us know how yours fit. I'm in the same boat with an 8.5 too. I just sent him an e-mail.

Awesome work. That's going to be fun to troop with!
-
Congrats! Nice build.
-
MRCE for me too! I've got fans, batteries and speakers in mine, and I'm about to add some of Stomper's Super Hovi's (which should be in the mail very very soon!)

In addition to the occasional meal and drinks, everyone of our guys in attendance for our last National Night Out event was presented with a Manassas Park Police Department Challenge coin and coffee mug by thier Chief. Luckily our CO had a spare Garrison coin to give him as well. Completely unexpected, and Totally cool!

And here is one of my biggest reasons:
Well maybe not one of my biggest reasons, but I'll take it nonetheless.
I agree... that and the kids!
(I do love this picture!)

I agree with the darkness for photos, and for people peeking up underneath. I used a spray rubber coating for mine which helps with sound dampening too. (that and it just looks cool!)
-
Awesome work, Stuka! Welcome aboard!
-
Man, looks like I need to go to this next year!
We'll have to ask Tom how well lipstick comes off the ABS haha.It comes off easier than you think (luckily!)
It was a great time and fun troop. The kids, both young and old, loved us. I was down on the beach earlier in the day wearing a 501st shirt and some guy (probably in his 40's?) stopped and started telling his little kid "Look! He's got a stormtrooper on his shirt!" When I told him to come check us out later that evening when we were appearing I think he was more excited than the little kid!

Hi there, and welcome aboard! There's no need to be afraid, but there's certainly a lot on info to digest. My rig is an FX suit with an MRCE helmet. I'm about 5'10", 170 lbs, and it fit me pretty good without a whole lot of trimming. I don't know a whole lot about the others, but there are several threads on how types fit. Go to an event and see some before you decide, and ask us questions. That's what we're here for!
-
Can you ship that to the US with all the restrictions on replica firearms?
-
I barely knew ya! Good luck, and I hope things turn around quickly for you. I echo the sentiments that "once a TK, always a TK. Hopefully we'll see your return soon.
On a side note, I'm travelling to London in September and was hoping to meet up with some of the UKG while I'm there. If you're local and available, I wouldn't mind having you along too!
-
Maybe a coat of clear nail polish? (wait for someone else to weigh in on this before trying!)
-
I just use photobucket. It's free and easy.
-
Hope to see you there too! Make sure you ask lots of questions, and remember "The search button is your friend!"

I'm in Dallas, TX for work for a few days, and I think I saw one of our brothers driving down the highway! He was in a brown-ish Dodge Durango 4x4 with a white cog on one side of the back window, what looked like a garrison logo (although I don't know whose) on the other side, and a US Army Retired sticker in the middle. It was about 1630 yesterday, and I think I was on Rt 635. Just thought I'd say hi if you see this!

My first time was at a John Williams concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC in the fall of 2007. There were TK's, TD's, rebels and Jedis. The second half of the concert was all Star Wars, and Vader came out to a stormtrooper escort. It was awesome. I had my picture taken with some TD's, and looked like a little kid at Christmas! I'd said since I was a kid that I'd have a TK suit (I always expected it would be on a mannequin). I never thought I'd get to wear it! I guess it was seeing other people suited up made me realize it was possible for me too. (I wonder if my wife regrets taking me to that concert now...)

That is an interesting number. I would imagine it is because the sandy has more moving parts such as the backpack and pouches to contend with. The backpack is no joke and the pouches are sometimes hard to find. However, I like the TD more than the TK. I know that is not going to make me popular here, but the storm trooper is the difinitive icon, while the sandtrooper is a nice deviation into the dirty and gritty side of trooping. I realy love them both.... argh!
We won't hold it against you (at least I won't)
I've always had a fondness for the sandys too. When my TK gets too roughed up to meet Lord Vader's standards it will be converted to a TD. -
WooHoo! Congrats!

Welcome! As everyone else has said, do lots of research (there's lots of info on here) before jumping into any purchase. FX armor is probably the most inexpensive. You can get a new kit minus the helmet (you don't want the helmet, trust me!) for around $500. You'll need to add boots, gloves, helmet, blaster, and a bunch of bits to get it to 501st acceptable. It's never truly "done" as there's always stuff to tweak and improve, but budgeting $1000 to get going is reasonable. Don't be afraid to ask if you've got questions, most of us don't bite!
How did TK's get around?

I'm fairly certain the Juggernaut was in either Ep II or III, but I can't recall off the top of my head which it was (I'm leaning towards III). There was even a lego model of it.
