bigironvault Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Hi all just wanted to share that I ordered my first kit ever from Mark @ AP. Put in my deposit - waiting for Mark to confirm that he got it. I'm pretty excited. But now I know what everyone's talking about regarding "the wait". It's only been 2 hours and I'm already losing my mind. I guess I can start shopping for Comm systems, gloves and all the other gear. Can't wait to join the Legion! :ninja: Edited March 9, 2012 by bigironvault Quote
xaoslord Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Congrats! You can look at other threads in the meantime to get an idea of how you want to put yours together. That will tell you what tools/supplies you should start picking up. Quote
OsotheBear Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Congrats man! got mine from Mark too not long ago , the wait is totally reasonable and gives you time to do a little research about the build, and when it arrives is the coolest thing. Quote
bigironvault Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks all! I was pondering if I should share this silly news or not. But the experience so far on FISD has been great and really happy with the inclusive feel of this place. I was a little scared to start this hobby but everyone's been so nice and helpful. It's great!

dubVADER[501st] Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 it takes a while but it'd be totally worth it! Quote
Jancelot[TK] Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Awesome and congrats! I'm working on an AP suit as well. Looking forward to a build thread. Cheers! Quote
inglorious trooper Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 the waits a killer but totally worth it,its all part of "the armour experiance" Quote
bigironvault Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Posted March 10, 2012 I'm trying to figure out how I can start to afford all the gadgets now (ie. Aker amp + iComm) ... guess I need to sell some of my boardgame collection or someting. Quote
Sparrow Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 While waiting for it to come in, do your homework, read tons of build threads Quote
Femtrooper Julie[501st] Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 Hmm, donate plasma, become a male escort, there are plenty of options! LOL! Good luck, one thing at a time, and you'll get there... Quote

bigironvault Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Posted March 11, 2012 Is it just me or does this hobby seem like a black hole for money and makes every other hobby that one may have seem rather ... irrelevant? Quote

MisterFubar[TK] Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Is it just me or does this hobby seem like a black hole for money and makes every other hobby that one may have seem rather ... irrelevant? I hope not. I can't afford to take too much away from my other my other black hole money pit hobbies. Quote
bigironvault Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Posted March 11, 2012 I think you need to post pix before you can get 501st clearance. (teee heeee heeeeee...) My profile picture is me asking Darth Vader if he wants me to show him my Imperial Black Unitard Dance. He force choked me. Quote
bigironvault Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Posted March 12, 2012 I just order an Aker + iComm combo too. Damn you Cardiac you're a bad influence! Just kidding man - your help has been invaluable. I hope my kit looks as good as yours someday! Quote

I hope my kit looks as good as yours someday! Oh' did i mention you need boots, trooperbay parts, neck-seal, and don't forget about the chrome gyro muffler bearing for your new E-11 Quote

bigironvault Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Posted March 13, 2012 Yup I'm trying to convince the wife that I absolutely need a pair of white "disco boots" as she calls them. I've seen a few peeps selling neck seals going anywhere from $40-$65. Is there really a $25 difference in the quality of neck seals? Strangely the whole black unitard thing got her excited not sure why ... Quote
bigironvault Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Posted March 17, 2012 Yup just ordered some TKboots and they are on the way to me! Anyone have the Trooperbay neckseals? If so, how are they? Quote
