Star Wars: The Clone Wars Prelaunch T-Shirt Info

I don't know if you have seen this, but check out this link: http://shop.starwars.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=416358 It also names the ARC Trooper from the Clone Wars trailer: clone trooper captain Rex. Does this mean that the blue on an ARC is a Capt instead of a LT like with the clone troop...

I know the Dark Knight is in post production. I wonder if they will handle it like the Crow with Brandon Lee.

This is so sad. I feel sorry for his daughter...

I've seen a kit from someone the UK and various parts from Ebay seller 502smallblock. On the UK, they make a kit for custom Hasbro and another for pipe builds. I can't find their website, but I know they also sell on Ebay.

I've seen some conventions centers that don’t allow loose ammo in their facilities. Also, if you ever take your armor on a plane trip; you might have to declare that you have cartridges in your checked baggage. ( I think I read something on TSA.gov about that issue.) I would have to agree with using...

I just finished checking all of my resources. In SW Insider #84 there is a few photos of the 41st Elite's Cdr Gree, but no AT-RT Driver. However, I've got a photo of an AT-RT and Driver from the SW: The Complete Visual Dictionary. In addition, I've got another photo that I found online a few months ...

I’ve run into a problem with the bucket, again. If the ROTS pauldron is on, I can’t wear the Kellogg’s bucket correctly. It sits sideways and I can’t get it low enough to see out of the visor. (You can see this in the picture on the left in my Phase 4: The fine-tuning section.) I have foam inserted ...

It’s not 100% yet, but I’m getting there just a few more upgrades. Thanks everyone for all the tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’...

Since my last post I've been working on the bucket. I've uploaded a picture of the 97% finished bucket to the above listed website. I had an issue with fitting it, so I could wear it with the armor. I'm adding a few more details this weekend.

I hope to have it at 100% this weekend.

ARC Trooper Project

I’ve been working on this for the last few months and I wanted to show all of you the current status. I still need to work on the helmet, belt, minor glove modifications, minor adjustments to the knees, and shoe weathering. I might add a custom control pad to the left arm. In addition, I need to rep...

There are pictures of the event on the Star Wars website. It looks like the original press release had a typo... it's the ROTJ lightsaber, not the Graflex.

Here's the link if you're interested:
