Progress!



Now to buy the flight suit (for his Scout Trooper) and the boots for my my stormtrooper. Oh, and that small matter of putting the rest of the armour together

Any advice on where to buy a full sized scout trooper helmet?

[CubanPete]

Just order a pair of these for my Mrs. They're diamanté and LED.

Currently wondering how much she is going to kill me...

Anyone with the hp tablet don't forget to activate office 365 (there's a July deadline)

Those are hideous

From the reviews:

I bought them for all of my gang. Mr G Glitter.

Those who wanted the HP stream 7 may be worth looking at the linx 7 as its £60 on eBay. Same processor and clockspeed, same size batter only a 2mp camera but has HDMI out

Tempted for vagcom.


I hope windows opt free OS for desktops after this tablet trial.

The Linx 8 is 90 quid in Sainsburys. I have an ipad and a Nexus 7 yet I think I need this.

Finally got round to buying a leather Orbitkey, (With bottle opener & 32GB USB drive)








Not that frivolous in the end - I love the thing!

Great stuff!

Did you use a discount code?
I managed to just miss the 20% off Christmas offer. But then, I emailed them & they sent me a special 20% off code.
Deff worth asking them, if it's not too late!

Will be interesting to see if GP legends honour it as I ordered six on friday which came in at £25 with delivery.

Tried to order another 3 a minute ago as presents and the discount at the till no longer applies, £22.50 for 3.

I'm awaiting an email

Let us know what they say; my order didn't go through for some reason, and I only just noticed. So tried again today but the price had gone up (or maybe it was a glitch that they fixed?)

This is the email I received, with cautious advisory re mispricing

Think I'm going to have to buy an iPhone 6, so I can add a Nomad charger cable to my Orbitkey!
(They don't make one for my iPhone 4S)

You want ready built? If so then check out rspropmasters (if you are a fan this will be your downfall).
They have a screen used helmet they are currently casting from and the signature edition will be ready early may I believe. Their trooper armour is cast from an original screen used kit and has ever lump and bump including a propmakers thumb print in the bicep armour 😀

If you want to build yourself (and it's not that hard) then studio creations in the US do a kit but bear in mind import charges.

I had my armour from RS as a kit, great guys and happy to offer a cuppa if you are in Stockport. The place is jaw dropping for a fan girl like me.

It's not a cheap hobby, in kit form a trooper helmet alone will set you back around £300. full armour kits around £700. Scouts are a bit cheaper. Hell of an investment though.

Oh dear. Frivolous expenditure ahoy I feel!

Always wanted one of these but have never got round to buying:

Seriously? Unless she is an 8 year girl I could not see those appealing to anyone.

That is bloody awesome!
As i just got myself an Iphone 6, and just discovered that you can buy a nomad key, and then discovered that they are on Prime on Amazon there is one on it's way.

I have not been on PH for nearly a month and the first bloody thing i checked was this thread, i will never learn impulse control. :banghead.

[omgus]

In return i offer my latest Kickstarter Stupidity.

As a lefty i tend to take all my notes in Pencil or use really cheap biros, a situation that has never affected my wallet and that means i never really have nice pens on me.
So here is a fking $60 (plus $15 shipping!) pencil i will almost certainly bloody lose.

Fifty fking quid on a pencil, and yet i am really excited.
