  1. Question, since i'm only now getting back into Star Wars, after 30 years; which edition of the Star Wars DVDs are unaltered? WE Have the blue ray stuff, but I really would like to show my son the original. I did look through the Force.net a little, but that community seemsto be on a different level than I, and I don't care to even post on that forum. I'll just lurk.
  2. CG has most certainly degraded sci fi and other films. While some may oooh and ah over Avatar,I walked out. I walked out more to lack of plot, but the lack of cool effects other than CG didn't help.
  3. " CANTINA CRAIG has a nice ring to it. BTW, I'm a Gretsch / Rickenbacker guy myself. " Ah, while I am at at an airport with poor internet,I seem to recall that Malcolm Young plays a Gretsch, or am I wrong? Good stuff.Good stuff.
  4. Great! I have a Les Paul myself, though i've barely picked it up in years. my interest in rock and roll is wide and varied. If it isn't Chicago or ELO, then chances are that I like it to an extent. And congrats on your build. I hope to not be far behind, though I don't think I'll get all my sand trooper requirements for a few months.
  5. I hope he can handle a bit of chapass. I got myself into a little trouble on whitearmor by making what I thought was a benign joke. Seems non-elite troops are a bit more thin skinned than the dirty. Craigthesandie is an obvious choice, but I see he has an interest in rock and roll. There are a number of genres in rock and roll. Not sure if he is a classic rock guy or more of a hair band fan. I bet he plays a Strat.
  6. I think what you're saying is that you'd like us to pick a username for you. See, I'm good at picking up on these things.
  7. Entirely possible that the Longboard family will be camping and surfing Encinitas that week. I will try and make it happen since this coincides with that event.
  8. Wife to sand trooper: "What are you building?" Trooper: "A flexible mannequin." Wife: puzzled look
  9. That trooper looks like he mutinied and went to the beach. Strong on the armor. Good pics.
  10. I see I'll have to get off my OCD meds to very to this level! I'm going to straight up buy this guy a plate of enchiladas if you don't give him some SWAT action soon.
  11. Can't somebody give some tips in where to get taller leg pieces? I think his armor still looks awesome.
  12. Crud I cannot wait to do this. I'm so pumped I could run through this wall in my office I think it looks great so far, but i'm just a caveman lawyer...
  13. Just ordered my armor. Let's get it on man. Sand trooper it is.
  14. Great, I believe i am understanding. Based on waitlists and other info, I probably will go with AP. Haven't actually decided on TK or sandtrooper. I'm just trying to get a good suit of armor currently.
  15. Ordering my first armor this week. Born in 70 so perfect age for the original movie and i've always been a fan. Most all of my original Star Wars memorabilia was stolen. Father of 3 little ones. I'm a doc. My wife is almost as excited about the armor as i. We live in the Southwest. I like the outdoors, including fishing, camping and mountain biking, and our fam loves all things Star Wars.
  16. Sounds good. More specifically, did you build a sand trooper outfit with AP and you used what for your ab button strip and knee plate?
  17. What of the AP (Authenticprops) armor for a sandtrooper? Are there any negatives?
