Certainly. The CRL team discussed allowing either configuration - blue up or red up.
The discussion boils down to;
In favor was that it's seen both ways, even though one way has to be a coloring error.
Against is that since R1 came out, we have an official way to wear a Director's rank bar.
At this point, we're getting to an up or down vote between the CRL team and Staff members.
I expect to have either a "It stays as is" which will end the discussion, or a "the Team decided it can be changed". If the team decides it can be changed, I'll present that to the Detachment for a 5 day comment period.
I hope that is transparent, and that all parties will abide by the process.

I deleted it when I tried to edit it. My bad.
As for saying it would be changed, that was me too - before the CRL team had a chance to discuss it.
That discussion is happening now.

I watch all of Star Wars Explained's videos. I met Alex and Molly at the Bash in Orlando. Such cool people.
And I also watch Collider Jedi Council. Some good stuff there.
Eckhart's Ladder has some good content too.

Soon I hope.

Unfortunately, I have never been someone who off the shelf sizes fit. I am kicking myself now for not ordering this around Christmas when they had their old site working. I will probably just add both the $30 color change and the $50 dollar 501st fee with the same measurements filled in on both add ons. Hopefully that will make it a pretty close fit on arrival. I am not in a super hurry so I might wait a bit and see if a sale pops up in the next month or two. Thanks for the help!
Before paying both fees, email their support and ask. Can't hurt, might help!

Are you getting dinged for return shipping, or are they taking care of you?

Now here is a real kicker. My wife's Hessen boots came in and the quality of leather is much nicer. WTF? Got her a pair of male sz 6 boots.
If my boots had come in looking and feeling this nice I would of said yes this is a nice boot.
Monday I will be contacting Hessen about this and perhaps get a reason why.
Please do, and share what they say. As I'm sure you noticed, Hessen is one of - if not THE - premier boot suppliers.
You're experience is so far from the norm, that it took many of us off guard.
Best of luck,

I'd be concerned about the construction on the front of the boot, even for level one.
As a GML, I'd be hard pressed to green light them.

I wish the CRL saw it that way, because I agree. When I looked at the L3 boots I had to go digging through images, because until that moment I had never even heard of shin armor or thought of them as such. I just thought that's how the boots were animated (and still do).
We can add that to our CRL Review list come March.

I've seen Praetorian blasters on Facebook. Beautiful photos, but I haven't seen one in person.
I just snagged a Hyperfirm second hand. It's gorgeous. Keep an eye out on the main boards, Rebel Legion, FISD. Pretty much anywhere 501st folks are.

Better than nothing, right?!

I've heard good. I'm sure others will speak up.

My bad. I meant green ponchos.

Moderator here:
For the time being, the vendor in question's sales thread has been hidden until such time as the vendor can respond here.
In the meantime, this thread can be used by any who have outstanding orders to chronicle their experience.
No flaming. Not trolling. I know everyone here is better than that, but it bears saying.

Ponchos aren't an option for Line Officers.
Coats are good to go though!

So with Celebration fast approaching we thought it would be a good idea to see (as the title implies) who is all going, for how many days, and where are you staying.
With that, I'll go first.
I'm going for all 5 days and will be staying at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place.

I agree, you can make some really convincing leather with EVA foam. Though I was thinking, the armor on characters in Rebels seems a bit "flexible". If you watch Agent Kallus or Sabine, you will see their armor stretch and shrink to allow movement that would be otherwise prohibited by their armor. It would be interesting to replicate that with EVA foam.
For the Officers in Rebels, I always took the "armor" on their shins to just be how they decided to animate regular officer boots rather than armor like Kallus or Sabine wear.

Personally, I'd use EVA. I prototyped one for my Rebels build in less than an hour.

You present a very well researched case. I don't see any movement on this until next month, but I'm sure there will be discussions.

Alright. Locking it up. Civil discourse folks. That's all I ask for.
