I've heard of Mos Eisley, but what is Mos Espa? Mos Espa is or better was spaceport..anywayz here you can read it: Mos Espa was a spaceport on Tatooine. It was the home of Anakin and Shmi Skywalker and also held the famous Mos Espa Grand Arena, at which the annual Boonta Eve Classic podrace was held, and the location of Watto's shop.

I will keep an eye out on my surfing trips and if I find out who this joker is, he is your's for the taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrell78 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I know who the seller is, he is a new local trooper who has been in the Legion a few weeks. It's TK-9495 Mike Clark. I've seen his binocs and they look decent, but I'm no expert when it comes to sandtrooper goods. He also makes vac formed/resin E-11s and resin cast MRCE helmets.

LSU_Dude Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Sunds like there is some bad blood around the seller. So what's the word on these, or is there something else out there that I can get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandalorianWarrior87 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 or is there something else out there that I can get? You tried Sci-Fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK8034 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hey guys. We appreciate the heads up on this. Mike responded and said that he didn't know that it was considered "wrong" to recast. He seems like a good enough person to stop recasting. As far as the electrobinocs they are always available through us until the mold is toast.

TD-5491 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 That is nice bro, thanks for the link. I would rather get an unpainted piece. Maybe even just the kit so I could build it myself. Thanks again brother, much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 No probs buddy hey why you dont ask them about unassembled binocs? looks like they/he? can do pre-orders(no....im not their salesman :lol: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slave1pilot Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Dude, You are a ******* Firstly, You were not blown off he responded to your request for a kit & informed you that they do not put out kits secondly, If you don't like the prices, don't buy. Feel free to build your super inccurate sub-assault garbage. Thirdly, These are not recasts They are original sculpts Look at this thread ; http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=...l=electrobinocs You have some nerve even throwing the "recast" word around Do your homework first.

slavefive Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I got a few e-mails back from a different guy that makes them. I won't say no company names but I'm sure you'll know who it is, or send me a PM too find out the answer. This is what I was told. So then I asked if I could get an unpainted, unfinished kit as I enjoy doing stuff like this myself and it also make's me feel better about putting some kind of work into something I use. Here's the responce I got back. So I asked for one unfinished and was blown off. I don't want to sound like a ninny baby but $250? I can get a new helmet kit for that much. I'm pretty sure you bros know who this is because I've heard people trippin on his prices before. $25 for domestic shipping? I've been shipping things for years, and I've only paid that much for super large boxes and this thing isn't that big. Oh well, I guess I'll start working on my sub-assult game version... ps, it's a shame that people that just recast something expect to make a fortune It would be different if he acually sculpted it but then to not offer it unfinished is pretty lame. Since you are obviously clueless about our build and simply upset that we did not bend over backwards for you on this item...here is the build thread...with what we went thru to make them and also various costs...not to mention in this exact thread that I am responding to, it is regarding our same item being recasted... http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=...l=electrobinocs You should stop your crying about the costs for props, and get your facts straight... I see that you are looking into Rolf's pauldrons...Hopefully you are not badgering him regarding the costs of his extremely accurate pauldrons... Those of us that make props place a great deal of effort into our items to hopefully bring the best available to you, the Fans...some items make more, other items you might break even, and even worst case scenario is that you need to scratch the project for a total loss...at least with Sci-Fire, we take a great deal of what we bring in to constantly turn energy into new projects and or Charities...your actions are just pathetic...

TK8034 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 LOL. Whoa...whoa...whoa..... Let's all just calm down. He's unhappy. Let him vent. He is off-base in his suggestion about recasting but no harm. Obviously has never build anything like this himself from scratch and has no clue how much work, material costs and start up costs go into a small project like this. Educate him so he's not ignorant in the manufacturing process vs. stomping on him. We're all friends here. Buy a better, more accurate electrobinoc kit that is NOT a recast that is dirt cheap and show me...there's the challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
