  1. the cardboard stormtrooper cutout apparently got stolen in the early morning.

     

    Sadly in the UK though there seem to be supply problems and we didn't get as much stock as stores wanted, and a number had to cancel their Force Friday promotions!

     
    I was wondering, did anyone else see a stock problem in some of the stores? ive read that several of them were under stocked, but i noticed the walmart where i lived an a massive shipment that looked like it was meant for 2 stores....and im sorry to hear that Phil, i dont know why but it seems like some stores are getting more than plenty of the others.....
  2. Well force friday is today and id like to start a thread for anybody who got the new merchandise and feel free to share your experience!

    Hope everyone else is having or had a great Force Friday! i hear that BB-8's are selling fast!

  3. I think the idea of different colors of uniforms like the isards or different ways they look comes from the fact that they are a very high rank they wouldn't need a standard uniform.  As seen in the Tarkin Novel, Tarkin was asked if he wanted to change the look of his uniform because he was a Grand Moff and they didn't have uniform restrictions. I know there was an admiral in the EU that wore a purple uniform, and the guy im building (Grand Moff Trachta) wears a heavily modified black uniform and also has his own combat uniform.

     

    I also have a theory since the isards were a very influential family in the empire, maybe they had permission to choose red as their uniform color for any family members serving in the military, sorta like a coat of arms or a family symbol.

  4. if you look at the very left, the imperial officer that with his face showing, and he is standing in front of storm troopers, if you look very closely you can see a faint outline of a rank insignia on him.

     

    look closely at his chest, the guy circled.

    and if you zoom in really close and look at it in black and white, there is definitely something rectangular on his chest.

  5. that is a tough one..... 4-LOM is my sole focus, i hope to get him done by October, but with trachta there isn't a whole lot more to do.... so it depends on which costume dominates my interest at the time. 

     

    so the only answer i can give is probably both at the same time.
