    Mepd Layout

    in Off Topic Cantina

    Posted

    I didn't mean to be an *******

    - I just thought is was easier to navigate before. I did not know that you guys combind other forums - I see why you are asking for the email at the log in - instead of the user name. This is the only Stormtrooper board I'm part of and I enjoy it quite a bit. I'm not part of any of the other prop Star Wars boards or the 501 just this board. Anytime I've checked out other boards for one reason or another - I never felt they were as good as this one. This board has alot of good - helpful people on it.

    Thanks,

    jack ;)

    Guys - I hate to be a real *** and say this - but I liked the old MEPD Board layout more than this new one. I'm not a real computer savvy person but is seemed to be easier to use and I could see pictures posted in the threads before. Also - what happened to the Dancing Chewbacca's???

    You know Rolf - I still don't buy it! I think just like everything else - they will streamline the armor for better production and it will not be the same as the original. That's why they actully changed the in ROTJ - when they had new armor manufactured by a different maker - he streamlined it to make it simpler to produce. And since this is a company looking to make a good profit at the least amount of money spent - they will probably do the same. I just want to point out - in the 1997 Star Wars Special addition - they couldn't be bothered to make the armor acurate and just ussued the ROTJ armor. Sorry to be a pessimist, But I do have my fingers crossed that your right and they do make the correct ANH armor.

    If they couldn't reproduce the correct armor for the 1997 "Star Wars special edtion" added scenes - what makes you think they'll do any better for collectors! It will probably be something like that MR crap or just the ROTJ armor they produced for the Special Edition Scenes.

    Personally - I think it's all too pricey! I use to own the SDS "Stunt" helmet and armor - for the amount of money he's charging it could be built with a little more love and care - not just slapped together like what I got.

    I use to own his armor - it was constructed nice, and had milky white shiny finish - but it was totally inaccurate. I wonder if any of those other molds are original - Fleet trooper helmet, Death Squad Commander helmet, Tie Pilot helmet and chest piece.

    Ya - I think because he lost the lawsuit here in the U.S.

    It's still too expensive to me -for what your getting! I mean after the Armor Fiasco - I question weather any of his molds are original.

    Did any of you guys notice that SDS is having a 25% off sale on everything? He must be ready to loose that law-suit by Lucas in the U.K. and is trying to move as much as possible before.

    History of armor via FISD

    Hey Guys,

    I saw you were talking about the origins of Fan made armor - I have owned 7 sets of armor over the last 17 years. My first set was in 1991 Marco entertainment. Second Set was in 2000 FX. 3rd + 4th Sets were purchased in 2002 - 2003 - 2 GF Follano. 5th set was SDS purchased in late 2005. My 6th set purchased in late 2006 was TM, and my 7th set was another TM (sandtrooper). I'm down to just the 2 sets of TM. I thought I share with you guys the original Catalog pages from late 1990- early 1991 of Marco Entertainments Stormtrooper Costume and parts.

    This Board

    Hey Guys,

    I just wanted to say what a great board this is and the Monitors are great too. You are allowed to speak your mind here! I'm part of another board - for the 1966 batman TV show -

    http://www.66batman.com/

    - everything you say is edited and if you ever mention the makers of costumes and props they dump the threads or lock them up. They don't even allow you to critique work that you consider crappy. What a bunch of *****. Oh ya, forgot to mention - no swearing either. The MEPD is like a breath of fresh air every time I come here - the Monitors are NOT like Nazi's and you are allowed to speak your mind.

    Thanks Guys for letting me vent a little frustration at you,
