bigironvault Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaoslord Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OsotheBear Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share 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.

bigironvault Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share 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!

bigironvault Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'm trying to figure out how I can start to afford all the gadgets now (ie.

bigironvault Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
