Trachta

my walmart had about 300 figures over all, around 80-100 being black series 6" ones, this morning they only had 9 6" ones left.  also about 80 of the 3.75 ones left.

the star wars potato heads remind me of the 2005 merchandise of revenge of the sith

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

Wow - somebody really knows how to party.

So considering that it's 124 minutes and every minute there are about 107 deaths, during the time we'll be watching the EP. VII approximately 13268 people all around the world will die...

That's... disturbing... Hm... 

AND 7440000 milliseconds...

AND 7,44*1012 nanoseconds...
XD

You have a lot of officers bj

as seen in one of the new photo's released, more officers than just general hux has this kind of coat, so we might all be at liberty to making a standard episode 7 officer with the coat instead of general hux.

Okay, I did a tiny bit of digging and found a couple of reference pictures to work from. The outfit is definitely grey, as opposed to the standard olive that most Line Officers wear. From what I can see, we can break down the costume into a few components:
 
HAT: The hat appears to be a standard Imperial Officer hat, recoloured. The majority of the hat is dark grey to match the belt and pouches, wheras the front is a light grey, matching the stripes on the greatcoat and the gloves.
 
COAT: The greatcoat looks to be based loosely on on a WWII German greatcoat, but with enough modifications that it would likely need to be scratch-built. There whole thing is a medium to light grey, single-breasted with three triangular buttons on the chest and light grey trim along the edge. It also has this same light grey in two diagonal lines leading from the hips to meet at the bottom-inner corner of the front of the coat. There are also two pouches, dark grey, that appear sewn onto the arm and 'leg' of the coat, matching the belt in colour. There are two stripes of light grey material over the right shoulder, but the belt obscures the left from view. Given the already asymmetrical structure, I doubt these would be present on the left side.
 
BELT: The belt is dark grey, around as wide as a standard officer belt on the right side before joining into a wider 'kidney guard' belt on the left. There is a strap on the left side that goes up over the shoulder and joins under the kidney belt in a manner reminiscent of the 'Sam Browne' belt used by cavalrymen in the 20th century. There appears to be black detailing on the 'kidney plate' and a pair of light grey greeblies on the shoulder strap - a cylinder on the front of the strap and some kind of box on the top.
 
GLOVES: Light-grey, to match the detailing on the greatcoat and the hat. These look like they might be mechanical in nature - I'd have to re-watch the Droids series to be sure. 
 
BOOTS: Appear to be dark grey or black army-style boots with ribbed padding over the 'laces' section. Will need to do more research to see if they match any real-world boot designs.
 
There's also the CYBERNETICS, which cover the left eye and wrap around to the back of the head, resting over the ear. 
 
That's my observations so far.

and i see a TON of imperial officers in it
 
Update!!!!: First TV promo of the new movie has aired in south korea: 

The story he told on the daily show, was that the door had just broken Harrison Fords ankle and in trying to lift the door off him he fractured a vertebrae.
They were talking about the fact that Harrison Ford is... "Unbreakable!"

Sadly all that we can do, is keeping their legacy alive!

i want to make a navy trooper now....

Suit looks pretty great

ok update for the day is as follows:
 
did some more research, trachtas' black officer tunic is not like the standard tunic, the flap in the front is wider, collar goes up below his ears, and he has no code cylinder pockets.
 
trachtas' black officer suit is 90% done
the sleeveless uniform is 95% done
 
tomorrow i will finally get around to trying my new method on the arms and i'm remaking the eyes to be more stronger and durable (the ones i originally made are more fragile than a china shop)
also tomorrow i shall be painting the tubes and hopefully get pictures of those posted, as well as pictures of the black officer uniform and sleeveless uniform.
 
All i can say now is hooray for spring break!
 
oh and do feel free to comment (anything), it feels like i'm talking to my self here.

I have all my code cylinders wrapped in bubble wrap... it doesn't look as cool as Doozer's baggy but it gets the job done

my aluminum boxes came in the mail!
 

Awesome!

Just wanted to share some images of this awesome custom made helmet bag a friend in my garrison just made for me
