Arch27 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Looks like you're practically in the Southern California Garrison territory. Hard to say since they don't seem to list all their regions in one place. "The San Joaquin Squad represents members of the Southern California Garrison of the 501st Legion that serve in the farthest northern reaches of our Garrison territory." I would start by reaching out to SoCal Garrison! Otherwise, we have a "Where To Get Stuff" thread right over here: http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=4255 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENDER Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 I am a member of the southern California garrison that's what led me here.... I don't mind being the only one in my area. once I get started and become a member I have friends that want to join so maybe with time there will be a little squad in my area. expand the empire. I will review all those links and if any questions pop up I will ask thank you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Garrison Web Liaison and Garrison Web Master for Excelsior. It's a volunteer post, and I mostly format the membership profile photos. I police our forums and make changes to our website when needed as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIVE Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 No I ment the centurion and so forth but I spent all morning reading so I get it now... We're a bit more "straight forward" as far as that stuff goes in comparison to the FISD's centurion and stuff. I know you've got it now... but, a quick run down is: Level 1 Sandtrooper Level 2 Deployed Police Officer this means you meet certain requirements that the Legion doesn't necessarily enforce. Level 3 SWAT this means you take 1 specific trooper from the films and replicate him to a greater detail. This is NOT "prop forgery" and while the program has gotten pretty strict (more so than I envisioned) it's really about, "Does this really look close to what we see on screen." If you can't see it on THAT trooper it doesn't matter for that trooper even if "we know" it's on other troopers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENDER Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 so I have some original star wars toys still in the box that I would like to sell is the for sale forum on this site the right place to do it or is it only for costuming gear? the reason I am selling it is to raise money for my armor.

SCRIBBLER Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 @ Airick - Welcome aboard and we look forward to having you join our ranks soon! As for your collectibles, you can definitely try our 'For Sale Forum', but your best bet is to post them on the Legion Main Site (For Sale/ Trade Section). Good luck!
