Hi everyone

Post by SlyClone »

Howdy all, thought I'd just pop by to say hi for my first post on these forums.

Been a Star Wars fan since I was young as I'm guessing we all have been here. Over the years I've mainly been into the Expanded Universe novels and a few games. Brought a few SW items a long the way, mostly toys :D

Anyway, I look forward to my stay here and on a side note I'm currently looking into getting my first set of Armour, preferably Clone trooper though leaning more toward Republic Commando! Any help on finding some would be appreciated :)

Hey Sly, welcome to the forums.

Cool to hear from another Republic Commando fan. I bought my RepComm armour kit (below) from a group called Polymer Armory...I don't know if they have any available these days, but you can contact them through http://www.polymerarmory.com/contact.html

Hey Matt,

Thanks for the link, your armour looks mint! Been looking through a few different sites over the past year or so. Figured I'm going to be spending an easy 1-2k on this. So wanting to make sure I get what I really want before jumping in to quickly.

Hi all

I just came across this great forum while investigating doing my first trooper outfit
Im In Lower Hutt, and have been a huge SW since seeing them back as a kid (not that I've grown up yet). Shelves in the lounge proudly hold original my kenner collection, like AT-AT, AT-ST, Slave 1, Rancor and more... I cant say my wife loves them, and she tolerates me....
Looks like i'll need to contact oota goota once I'm allowed to PM...

Great to hear...that's the way it should be!

Jay signing in.

Been a Star Wars fan since the early 80's. Love the originals and used to have a small collection of figs/vehicles.
I've been mostly into toy collecting. I have a stash of Star Wars model kits and have been collecting the new Black Series 6" line.
At the moment my main focus of collecting is 1/18 aircraft (WW2 to modern).
Any who. This board looks like an informative place to hang out, and i look forward to many mornings browsing over a coffee.
