Wow. Wow.

Looking good, Ward. Keep up the good work. I'm envious. I just don't have the space to tackle one of these even if I had the money. One day, though...one day.

Very cool. Thanks for the heads up!

I don't understand why this sort of behavior happens so often in the prop community. It really makes people suspicious even when dealing with honest vendors. I'm sorry to hear it's happened to you. I was one of the lucky ones who got exactly what Phil promised and in only a couple of weeks, but that was over a year ago. From the postings over at the prop den, it appears very few are so lucky these days.

Congratulations, my friend. What a beautiful child. You are truly a lucky man. Now where is that imperial issued pacifier?! You know the one that looks like Darth Vader's mouth?

I can't wait to see this stuff on the market. It looks awesome!

You're a madman my brother. Looking goooood.

Cool pics! Thanks for sharing. That Greedo's looking pretty good. Man, that's a hard costume to wear. Greedo was my first SW costume and I just couldn't hang with it. Between the latex mask sticking to my sweaty head and not being able to use my hands because of the sucker-tipped fingers, I got seriously claustrophobic! I still have the blaster though.

Happy belated birthday, sir. All the best!

I was gonna ask the same thing. Awesome pics!!!

Nice work, my friend. You have overcome the ultimate obstacle!

And now Steve McNair! Really really sorry to hear about that one. RIP.

Nice!

That really sucks. I hope you're able to get your money back. Good luck finding your dream BFG!

Thanks, Rolf. Much appreciated. I've been writing and directing a web series since October but we're wrapping soon so I'll be around more often. Hopefully there will still be something left after you're done buying everything up!

Reeeeeeeally nice work there, Rolf.

When dealing with children, you're better off breaking the ice with a wave and waiting for them to come to you. You can offer an outstretched hand, but be patient. If you bum rush them you'll frighten them. I actually had a child psychologist come up to me and complement me on this technique at a recent event. Watch your posture. You want to stand straight and tall like a soldier and never lean. Find a comfortable stance. If you're going to walk around, survey the crowd like a police officer. For some reason lots of people seem to enjoy having their pics taken as if they were under arrest. They also like having blasters pointed at them. I often bust people who think I don't notice them taking a pic by pointing my BFG in their direction. I also agree with a lot of what's been already stated. "Can I see your identification, sir (or ma'am)?" is gold as is asking how long someone's had their droid(s) while indicating their children. I also refer to everyone as "sir" or "ma'am".

So where are you guys getting the cool replacement ears?

Awesome! I think it's so cool that we can all go through different vendors and end up with almost identical packs in the end. But isn't an exposed Tupperware logo canon?

I'd like to invite everyone to check out my latest project. I am the writer, director, and producer of a new web series called Jupiter's Ghost. It's the story of a deep space mission in the year 2120. The story is almost entirely told through the messages the crew members send to Earth. This is a major labor of love for all involved and I'd appreciate it if you guys would check it out. The show will ramp up over the next few weeks to eventually have three messages released each Thursday. If anyone's wondered where I've been lately, here's the answer. The links are here: youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/jupitersghost facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Ju...41853360?ref=ts web site: http://www.jupitersghost.com/ There are also some "in-universe" web sites out there for those who enjoy that sort of thing. It's nothing like Star Wars but I hope you'll take a moment and check it out. Thanks!

Here's a little one from the original comics. Don't know where this line came from though. Probably from an early draft of the screenplay.

Sounds cool but I don't see it at that link.

Rolf, you should take pics of each one in such a way that you could combine them later and have an entire garrison of Rolf clones.

Jut wondering - Have other people had the experience that their CA Boots run large? I felt mine ran a little small but I bought mine a few years ago.

Wow, I think that looks great!
