I have had quite a bit of bad luck (more than my normal amount) this past year or so, and I did have to sell my Sandy helmet, armor, backpack, pouches, and binocs.
But I did it for the right reason- mrs.slave1pilot.
I don't regret it for a second, she is my world and I would do anything for her.
I appreciate everyone's kind words and the idea that I would deserve this pack, but I can not accept it.
I will create another sandtrooper in the future, that's a given.
I still have my T-21,my pauldrons, and my boots. Blastmaster bought my Binocs with the sole purpose of holding them for me until I can afford to buy them back (thanks Al). I have already started acquiring the parts to replace my #4 pack http://www.looksirdroids.com/backpacks.html
I am also working out a deal to get a set of AP armor to replace my FX TK.
The FX TK will then be turned into my Sandy and I'll be back on patrol as soon as that's done.
Please give this pack to someone else. I'm sure that someone out there is far more deserving and is worse off than I am.
