Hello everyone, I'm Christine!!! I'm a new member, probably the youngest at 17, and currently working on obtaining funds for a costume (Jango Fett). I recently met some other members at a Star Wars book signing at Powell's where I switched into fangirl mode and made Boba Fett take 100 pictures with me. I was wondering if anyone has bought anything from this site: http://www.starfortressproductions.com/swbountyhunters.html . And if so, were you happy with the products?

Hello and welcome, goto www.thedentedhelmet.com there is all sorts of info and forums about jango and boba.Ask the local boys and they will help you out on where to get armor .If you need help please don't hesitate to ask...

Hi Christine, welcome to Cloud City. We try to steer folks away from that site for many, many reasons. Your best bet is to hook up with our local gurus about the best places to get the armor. Good luck - can't wait to see your progress...

Yes I have and I was burned! It is my mission in life to deprive them of any monetary gain from those whom I encounter!
With that said, welcome to the boards. Feel free to pick the collective brains of those who know a thing or two about the armor in question.

Greetings, Christine. I too am creating my first outfit for entrance into the 501st. It's nothing as grand as Jango, just an Imperial Officer. It is only a jumping off point, though. I am aspiring to one day get a full Empire Strikes Back Vader (the movie he seemed the most evil in, to me).
Welcome aboard and good luck.
- Jason
(P.S.: Pretty much everyone at the 501st will tell you to steer clear of the Star Fortress pieces.)

Welcome ... Glad you came aboard.....We are great big Happy Trooping family .. Peace, Allan

Welcome aboard Christine. Ask away here and always go through us. I have sent you a PM talking about how to go about costumes with us! Welcome!
-
Where is a reliable place I can buy armor from, that can custom make them in size x-small womens?
-
The biggest thing to remember is not to talk about specific people or vendors in any open formats. Our agreement with Lucas Film keeps this quiet and non-commercial. The idea is that anyone with or getting armor is part of our group and not making money, selling something, or doing something that would look bad for Lucas Film. So you may not get any responses from openly asking about armor, but people are always open to PM's about how to find a vendor. The alternative is to look in for sale sections of boards. Check out this link (http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/forums/) and go and say hello like you did here. That may be a decent place to start. It will be hard to find someone that will make something your size. What is more likely is that you will buy the one-size-fits-all gear and then modify it to fit you. That is more universally done when you are buying from folks that are making and selling. To have it fit you, you either fit a pre-existing setup of you make it yourself.
Good luck. We shall see what we can do for you!

Hi, welcome!
Good luck with getting your costume set up.....I'm still working on a few for myself as it is......but it's always a work in progress. :P
Yeah, more girls!!!

Greetings Future Bounty Hunter!
Jango eh? Word to the wise, stay away from bald guys with purple lightsabers. ;)
-
A major influx of younger chicks to our garrison. Boba! What have you been doing?! Lol, j/k Welcome to CCG, Christine. Good to have you here.
-
A major influx of younger chicks to our garrison. Boba! What have you been doing?!
Simple answer: It's the armor & the helmet.
Boba behaved himself - it was Christine & I that were being the fan-girls.
-
Shes right. we dig mandalorian armor.
-
and i thought Boba jsut had a huge fan base of guys because he's Boba, the Fett, and his pack packs got jets!
Those chiseled features of that helmet make the ladies go weak at the knees apparently.
-
It must be the whole mysterious bad-boy thing. You know the girls go nuts for the mysterious guy who doesn't say a lot... not to mention, he could probably vaporize the girls parents if they try to object.
-
it probably is partially the bad-boy image. but........i just like full body suits.
-
You know the girls go nuts for the mysterious guy who doesn't say a lot.
That is absolutely part of it.
I'd say something else here but there are "minors on this forum" and I wouldn't want to offend them.
Oh wait - I'm a minor...
But seriously, the armor, the helmet, the attitude - [drool]
-
"No Incinerations" ;)
i'm sure you've all heard the Boba rap? http://www.griffongames.com/2006/04/boba-fett-rap-video.html
-
i cant tell you my secret... only true Mandalorians know the real reason :twisted:
now if i could only get my hands on Slave I
-
Now see thats what dissapointed me about Rouge Leader for the gamecube, Slave1 was horrible to fight with, atleast it was for me.
After seeing some of those custom Mandos i'm very tempted :). But i'll have some TK armor showing up soon and i'll need to build that for me 501st costume first.
i think the next project i'll actually get around that involves me building something from the ground up (after the speeder bike mod for the 50r moto) is a General Grevious helmet...
jsut the helmet though, i don't think you can do a Grevious outfit, he's to skinny and...stuff.
-
Look around.. there are some people who have attempted the Grievous. some look good, some dont.... it is just a matter of time before someone gets it done right
-
I'll have Grevious in about 7.5 months ...muhahahahahaha
-
I love Fett's Vette! Guess who knows all the words....! actually that's more sad than cool.
anyway, i've also seen some really cool grievous costumes. i'd love to see it finished!
-
Christine - we should show off at the armor party hu?
-
haha good idea
-
Welcome to the Garrison. And oh the jokes that will start coming from the group may commence. Events or Non Events. ;) :lol:
-
This coming from the butt of most of our jokes (presently)....... :mrgreen:
- Bill
-
Well really, we both are. ;) Mr 48 Hours.
-
Don't you guys have jobs during the day.....
-
Actually I just got Full time at TSA. I work 4:30am to 1pm with Monday and Tuesday as my weekends. :)
-
Yeah... I am at my job right now! :mrgreen:
- Bill
-
aha.......I C 8)
-
However. I use my phone at work to check the boards and respond. :mrgreen: As long as I dont have to tackle a terrorist when I am on my break I should be fine checking my phone. :P
-
I do it right from my security desk....... they won't let me tackle terrorists! :roll:
Which is a shame...... I have a lot of pent up aggression that I think could be used for some common good (beating the crap out of a-holes who desperately deserve it)..... :mrgreen:
