TK4205 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 It doesn´t matter what I, or you, think about it. Many prop collectors look down on the average costumer due to their not existent want for accuracy. This forum is different, much more fanatic than others. For example when i see people on rebellegion go crazy on the fabric work, and then seeing what crappy equipment (blasters, binocs, .....) are completly acceptable within their rows ..... Differences that are here discussed as being night and day mean nothing to many costumers. And even less to the average SW fan - most of my friend like SW (to various degrees), noone of them is prop collector or even costumer, and not a single one of them can make a vote for accuracy of ANY armor. Next to next they could see the obvisious differencies, but not if one is more accurate than another. Just Stormies. For myself all Darth Vaders look the same if not compared one by one. And if i notice a difference ..... i just don´t care, they all are Vaders for me. Ever ask yourself why you're even here? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtbringer Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 For the interesting part - the blasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warkicker Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 At least they got the gap between the back and kidney plate right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strength[TK] Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Let's just say Rubies is NOT going to help you very into the 501st. It's essentially a cheaper Halloween costume. We aren't making Halloween costumes, we're making smiles and dreams happen. It just happens to be a coincidence that we can also wear the armor for Halloween. I'm new here, like real new. Haven't received my armor yet, never built one before, and have never seen real armor up close. This still made me very uncomfortable.

TK4205 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 It's funny how some people say "The fans don't know the difference". Wait a minute... aren't we fans?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtbringer Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 The average fan is not interested in the details of the armor, lightsabers, blasters, binocs, ..... - only we fanatics are. I assume there are many details on blasters, lightsabers, and other stuff you are way less informed than on TK stuff? Without google, can you name me all the details/parts of Lukes ANH hero macro? Or maybe the stunt? So why should a lightsaber fan, or the average SW fan know the details of armour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkno Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Some people like sci-fi and SW armors, blasters and sabers with a ton of accurate greeblies, others like custom cars with powerful engines, others like drinking a beer with their buddies, others like fishing or hiking, others like all of the above. Then there are others who enjoy reading philosophy, and of course others who are barely able to read the yogurt label. The differences in opinions regarding everything (as long as they are decent and respectful), including SW accuracy and thriving or not for it, is what it makes it fun. If everyone would look for the same things in the world, that world would be bland and uninteresting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is that I would not visit a lightsaber forum and call them fanatics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtbringer Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 Well, they are. As much as you are for armor and i am for blasters and stuff. If we weren´t, we wouldn´t spend time on designated forums to discuss minor details that are unaware to the masses, even most fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedwelle94[TK] Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 As ugly as this armor is, I would be more than happy to make a project out of it if the price was cheap. Too bad they charge more than some of the best makers around here. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, even when I wasn't in the legion I looked for the differences between the best quality props/costumes, because while no one else would really notice the difference, I would and it would annoy me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I agree with you, Josh. I have had more than one person (usually kids, but sometimes adults) recognize me as a HWT instead of a Sandy, and even quiz me on the details and firing power of my T-21. Does the average person know that there are differences between Hero and Stunt? Probably not... they are just exited to get their photo taken with "real Stormtrooper", but there are always die-hard fans who will call us out on the details if given the chance, especially at Cons. This is what separates us from those who want to be TKs, but have not yet learned about the 501st and the FISD. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
