Just a thought for laughs. well i ran into one in Anime Expo which i didnt expect that to be there since very little did i see of starwars vs all that anime i can count/remember who was there lol: three TK (one rubies) two TX (including me) one Tie fighter one samurai darth vader i am not sure if there was a samurai TK but had the helmet of the collectible rubies one one darth maw two-three jedi (not sure if i passed the same one some times) and one R2-D2 looking thing so i dont really fear it i just dont expect much of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Hey Jonathan - just remember that it may be due to ignorance, and one shouldn't make fun of that. I remember when I got my armor and thought out of the box FX was pretty cool and that's what several in my Legion were sporting. I felt bad when I saw how good armor could be and kinda was a little miffed at folks in my garrison for not telling me about my options. That's part of why I created FISD - so people at least know what their choice are - not to make them feel bad. A 501st TK is a 501st TK and still has a home here, after all. And - some of those folks may just not care, so why make them enemies of the Legion? For those that do - a FISD trading card with our address and just letting them know there are options in case they want to progress should be fair enough, and you can get a high from helping someone rather than via schadenfreude. My $.02. Wish I could make it to SDCC - now would be a great time in my life to enjoy a party of fellow stormtroopers, and meeting a bunch of people I've so far mostly known online. Enjoy your time bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt JB Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I totally agree, I think that anyone that's interested in doing this should be included, regardless of their armor, heck, I almost bought FX armor, and probably would have been happy with it, but after researching and looking around I saw what I can achieve with some time, and effort. I'm just glad you guys have this site. You all have really put me on the right track, and I bet that others feel the same way. I just hope that some day pics of my armor inspire others to do a better job with theirs just like you have inspired me to do better with mine.

Torisempai Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 yeah i remember like a year ago when i was still looking at ebay seeing if those are good but i still researched around and saw the rubies one but i always felt something different with the helmet and when i saw internet photos of it it wasnt something i wanted. Thanks to FISD and many pmed questions later I saw that out of the box rubies arent very well accepted and little mod here and there + the booting of the helmet the armor looks pretty decent both ways with all armor type it requires hard work and research. =/ I just say that i dont expect rubies out of the box o.< probably only me but the helmet kinda freaks me out if i stare at it too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
