As an Officer you can yell at people , it's super effective when you need to clear a path for your half blind Stormtrooper soldiers , or when you need to keep a specific location clear , say ... Around some props at Celebrations because people can't read " Don't touch " signs
Exactly this -- I mean I'm a handler in the most in-character sense.

Hi, i found thease sheep things 35$
http://www.ridersport.se/ridstovel-red-horse-konstlader
Would they pass for lvl 1 ? It says synthetic leather PVC
Thank you for your healp!
These look identical to the boots I have. They should pass Level 1 no worries.
In fact I'm making it so that the boots are the ONLY thing I need to upgrade to get L2 & L3.

At that price I'd rather just seek out new. They may have fit me, but final price was about the same as Magnoli's.

Regarding magnets , i'd love to know where people find magnets strong enough to keep anything together in the first place , especially while assembling armours !
You can buy Neodymium "rare earth" magnets at home improvement stores. They're rather inexpensive, and come in packs of 3, 6, 12 etc.

For my hat disc I epoxied one on the back of the disc and another slides inside the front flap. Holds firm and can be repositioned easily if needed.

Anyone know if these are going to show up in the Disney stores or if they're just park exclusive?

Hello all -
I have a MuR hat that I wear while not in armor/when I have my helmet off (TB), and it has some sort of food stain on it (short story - trooped solo at a kids event). The tag seems to have a number of different things for care instructions, so I was curious if anyone's had to clean theirs and what they did.

ID6187 is a great source for Type A Code Cylinders. Fast and great quality.

Explain Rex then...he hardly qualifies as a "bad guy" under any criteria, yet is proudly counted as a 501st character.
Regards to Tuskens..jawas..etc...they are accepted by both groups because they are basically neutral factions.
Clones are shown in the films to be on both sides of the coin
They started out "good" against the Separatist Army, but then the tide was turned with Order 66. -
Sorry, somehow didn't catch that it was already a thing. That's what I get for only checking the first google result.
If they've always been accepted by both RL and 501, then it's probably because they fit with neither. As far as I know, the Empire has never hired them. Being a "bad guy" doesn't mean you go on the Empire side. I assumed the bounty hunters get stuck with the Empire because the Empire actively hires them.
The groups identify themselves as "good" and "bad" in a rather black & white way, which is why I was saying that the Tuskens are never seen as being remotely good so they really shouldn't be seen in the RL. I know people who are in both groups with the same costume, and they always tell me to join the RL as a raider... and I feel it's just wrong!

The figure does not have TFA on the card same as bespin Luke
Dunno... sure looks like TFA packaging to me.
-
Look like they'll be valid for both. Definitely weird to just have on the Rebel side.
I'm... already an ANH Tusken in the 501st Legion. What I was saying is I don't think Tuskens have any place in the Rebel Legion because they are never, ever portrayed on screen as being anywhere near remotely "good" - and the AOTC Tuskens, though Anakin slaughtered the 'innocent' members of the clan, it was as a direct result of the torture/death of his mother at the hands of the rest of them.
-
That's why I brought it up in The Officer's Lounge. I plan on being 501st official with my Staff Officer. The Twi'lek smuggler is separate.
Twi'Lek Smuggler would fit in with the Rebel Legion. They're somewhat looser with the standards than the 501st.
I'm not in the RL yet, even though they accept Tusken Raiders in it. To me, that's a foolish character to allow for the 'good guys' -- there's nothing 'good' about any appearance of a Tusken in any film. They beat up Luke Skywalker, they shoot at pod racers/Anakin Skywalker and they torture/kill Shmi Skywalker.
They attacked three generations of Skywalkers, two of which were good/innocent. One started out that way, but... well... Part of his fall was THEIR FAULT.

They can still pick and choose parts of the EU that they want to use, but I think the clone Emperor is a little far-fetched. I wouldn't rule out seeing Vader as a flashback or hallucination though
This is what I thought as well - they seem to have brought back/created a Vader figure for the toy line, and he's the only 'original trilogy' character who has a new TFA figure (in his original form). I'm thinking he makes an appearance in a Force Cave-type scenario.

I went to the Star Wars exhibit over the summer and saw quite a few costumes from the movies. Took a ton of pics, and as I was just re-reviewing them, I noticed something.
Anyone know anything about this sidearm? I wish I had taken more pics while I was in Seattle...
...
More photos posted below.
IMG_20150804_135326542 (2) by Iggy, on FlickrJust something to note: A lot of times, these costumes on display at exhibits are "frankensteined" to present the "best impression" of the film. They are not always accurate.
I'm posting from my personal experience. I saw the Myth of Magic exhibit at the Smithsonian in the early 2000s, took about 80 pics (even though you weren't supposed to). It was when I was researching for my Scout armor in 2008/2009 that I remembered I had the pics, and I quickly found how 'wrong' the costume on display was.

found this on RPF http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=245095 not bad the color isn't bad I like the shift in color with the uniform depending on light temperature which is like the show. I hate the collar insignia's I think making pin version will look better but the chest and back came out nice. the helmet seems big on him
That guy has posted here on the IOC as well.
I would give you a link to it but I can't find it all of a sudden...
Anyway, he says that the helmet was large when he got it, and he didn't have time to make a new one so he modified it as best he could.
-
Really? I emailed him today and got a response a few hours later.
contact@imperialboots.com?
Really.
I've tried that address and their online contact form.

Pretty cool. I always get a little jealous when I see ECG stuff because you guys actually have more than 1 TK.
There weren't any events up this way for the TFA toy launch (up in Albany).

Looking at the box, I had no idea Han used an orange and blue blaster. I need to watch the movies again, I suppose.
That's when he went to GalaxyCon6057.

Good luck. I've never heard back from them, and I've sent 4-5 requests.
Cosplay Sky Fitting- Custom Measurement Fail
in Costume Questions - Ask Here!

I imagine you followed instructions here in the CosPlaySky Info thread, and chose "Custom" size on their site to enter in all the details.
Standard Sizing in this regard means choosing their pre-determined "S/M/L" options.
