Hawk Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hello everyone! My name is Jason, I am from Wellsville, NY. (Where?!) My beautiful family and I share a love for STAR WARS. Im married and have 3 little ones. 5, 3, & 1. Okay, lets see... I went (several times) to see Revenge of the Sith when it came out, and afterward thought..."OH MAN...how cool would it have been to have had a cool trooper costume for opening night!!! But alas, my chance has past." Then recently came news... Star Wars, back in theaters this AUGUST!!! WHOO HOO! Another chance... perhaps my last! I started looking around on evilbay for a Clone Trooper costume and then I saw it... a Sandtrooper costume! I recalled how flipping cool they look on the big screen and decided that's the costume for me. Then I looked into this "501st I kept hearing about". WOW! I definitely want in to that! What a great community! Then I looked into the pricing...The prices being what they are though have created an obsticle that I am not sure I can overcome financially right now, sadly. The problem is... I got an Imperial sized "itch" now to own a Sandtrooper costume (or at LEAST a Stormtrooper) and be in the 501st ! My dream of going a week early to the local theater in full costume to help promote the new movie and (have lots of fun doing so) will probably not come true... but SOMEDAY.. someday... hopefully I'll be able to afford one of these fine costumes and become a member of the 501st as a Sandtrooper! (I mean, after all, what other trooper is cooler than a Sandtrooper?) The 501st is a GREAT organization from what I have read about it, and it will be a privilage and an honor to someday be a part of it! In the meantime, Im happy to be a part of this forum comunity! Keep up the good work everyone, and May The Force Be With You ALL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Helmet Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 First post, I'm a total newb, but I am spending all of my tax returns on an armor kit as soon as the money hits my hands! I've been wanting to do this for a few years now and it's time I got started... I live just outside of Washington D.C., former musician ( the biz stinks now) so I've been making props as a hobby for almost a year now, mostly lightsabers (is that blasphemy on this side of things?).... anyway, the biggest problem so far is finding the kit I want....

6170 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hello My name is Xavier, and after being a life long fan and collector of Star Wars I recently started to build my armor, and gear. I will hopefully be up and running very soon I am also a life long model builder (since the age of 7), and have dabbled in set building on a few t.v. shows. Anyway I hope to get my gear to look as good as some of yours :o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krkconsult Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Ok, Hello.... I'm Kris TK/RC 6247 of the Georgia Garrison. Some of you I know, some of you may know me from CT.n, C-E, etc... I'm currently 46 and have been a SW and general SF fan since a long time ago... Circa 1980 I think... I'm the tall one that needs a shave. Anyway I dropped out of all things from 1986 until 2006 when my daughter (then 14 wanted to go to Dragon Con) I first said NO! @!#$@% WAY!!! having the perspective of once being a late teens early 20's male at Cons... She said "Daddddyyyy Please...etc" anyway the whole family went to D*C in 2006 then she wanted a Boushh.... The she said lets troop... and our local CO said... she's not old enough.... so I made... I just picked up a vintage GF ANH TK... and am building a 501st clone for my son and a AT-AT driver for my wife... and eventually I'll do a TD, and Vader for me... and a Fett for my son.... I think Patricia wants a Zam Wessell... and it goes on and on.... Anyway the family that troops together stays together, right? Glad to be here, I've been lurking for a while and after posting the D*C Mixer invite in the 501st section, I figured I should introduce my self...

Major Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hello, My name is Robert and I'm in the Mountain Garrison, Pikes Peak Squad. I just recently got my TK approved, and have started to do more exploring. I wouldn't doubt if a Sandtrooper is in the future, but I'm working on a TX at the moment. I look forward to talking with some of you soon. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murray1134 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Thought I should introduce myself. My name is Paul and I just joined the legion last month as a TK and now I'm exploring the other detachments to plan out my next project. The armor is addictive, and I can't wait to start my next project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
