Hey all, please be aware that the vendor RubberBlastersEtc should be avoided at all costs. They have been removed from every Legion forum and the proprietor banned from the Clubs due to confirmed previous conviction of the most severe type of criminal charges. Please DO NOT support this individual or recommend/link their page, and always research and check your Detachment/relevant forums for lists of vetted vendors and those to avoid BEFORE making any significant purchases. This is the former proprietor of Hyperfirm (yes, THAT ONE), so due to the sensitive nature of the topic, I am not inviting discussion but you can PM me if you have pressing concerns.
 
My goal is for the only thing to show up when people Google or search any 501st forum is a post clearly stating not to support this individual. It is potentially damaging to the IOC and Legion in general when members leave reviews citing their membership and support, and members should be strongly deterred to avoid the perception that the Legion in any way approves of or is affiliated with this vendor. Thank you.

I think Darth Hair pulled his blasters off his Etsy shop due to that weaponry aspect, but he sells them on his website.

Thank you for this, @TheRascalKing.
 
Anyone is welcome to direct questions about this to me, or to Justin.

Admiral Trench from the Clone Wars had a swagger-cum-walking stick thing, but he was a giant spider so perhaps he's not the best precedent.

I soaked mine in hot water for like 30 minutes and used some clamps leftover from my TK build to clamp the loop tight until it dried - it sits much more flush now. I also have a pretty heavy WampaWear buckle (it's gorgeous but thick!) so that helps. I have some industrial velcro on the back of my buckle and the top of the little tail end of my belt - the velcro probably does most of the work of keeping the belt on, not the little tab. I wear belt boxes, a blaster, and occasionally a small pouch for cards and cell phone and I haven't had issues with my belt staying together. Glue would probably work, but I'd be wary. Try hot water and clamps first, IMO.

To think what they use the stick for in the storys  

Code cylinders and the code disks for the belt and hat can be bought from PhiloProps on Etsy. He also has a sales thread here on the forums. You really cant beat his code cylinders.
 
For rank bars, Zixx here on the forums is selling push button style rank bars which should be good to L3. TiggWolf also sells rank bars, but her wait times are quite long.
