TK4999[TK] Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Well, this is going to be MOST interesting. Whoah! Now that is an understatement! This might be a whole different deal than a Rubies Stormtrooper... The public reference to the name Steve Sansweet is telling. It makes it seem like he directed these guys to make this acceptable to 501st members. So imho we might "ruffle some feathers" if we refuse membership to anyone who buys this... unless it is really bad... ... Interesting indeed...

Darth_Nickel Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yea, the fact that the 501st, Steve, and armor were all next to the word Licened.... very interesting. Looks like some protypes are due a SDCC and DragonCon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTrooper Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 And one thing to keep in mind, they said that many pieces are going to be limited an come with a CoA. All that means is on thing, really expensive. They also said they would be contacting the 501st for consulting. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Ketariniii Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Whats with all of these licenced repros all of a sudden? Has instant gratification gotten the better of people and their wallets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
