Finally got my picture! (I typed address ending with ".html" instead of either ".gif" or ".jpg"). And just realised that I could have "previewed" my uploaded picture in the profile but I thought maybe it's not refreshed immediately).
Also I noticed the updated picture is "retroactive" (ie.updated for all my previous posts too, not just the new ones after the pic update)...
A universe full of learning....hehe

Regarding the "recruitment" of armoured troopers, is there any subsidy from myscififan (or elsewhere) for members who plan to get one? *wink wink* hehe...

I only completed fixing my suit on the morning of 21/5. Didn't sleep the night before! So, I missed The Star event at 10am, but joined the fray with GSC/MySciFi at 2pm. Since then, I've been with them at MPH 22/5, Summit 23/5 and BK Treasure Hunt last weekend (d'oh, fishyahoo still waiting for my report on that one...). And last but not least, I ponteng kerja this morning to be on MHI @ TV3, together with Kavin from Ultimate Toys who was being interviewed on being a collector (not just SW). He told TV3 that I had an armor, and they called me in. That was my 15mins of fame... LOL ;D You can find the pics of the events on multiple threads in this forum. Erm.... "Rebel scum!" I passed my old TIE Pilot gear to my brothers, who just wanted to experience trooping. Both of them seems to be enjoying it, you can see that from some of the pics eheh. It's not complete, but the general public doesn't know what he's supposed to be!

Where can subsidy2 one... I'll tell you what lah CP - the only subsidy myscififan can give is the friendship, camaraderie and experience. Sometimes tools for the job. But thats about it... ;D

Quote: "This is not gomen leh...

BTW, how to include the "Quote" thingy....dun want to always repeat the sentence....and also I'd like tp respond more specificly....thanks.

Ah! I found the "Quote" icon already (in the reply itself, upper right corner), and I saw the code so next time I'll know how to include. No need to reply!

If I may make a suggestion on your choice of costume...go for the Clone Trooper or the new Shock Trooper. That way you can paint them and then roll in the mud and sand to get them 'battle worn'...they're real cool looking...If you get a Clone Trooper costume and paint it blue you can even dress up as the Clone Commander in the Animated Series...
...oops, posted too soon earlier...(anyway, will count towards my no.of posts/stars....unintentional...really!) Anyway, thanks for the suggestion! As matter of fact I momentarily prefer Clone Trooper armour because: - They are shown in Ep.2 as rescuers and liberators (ie.Good side) as opposed to Shocktroopers (I read that they were ordered to kill some Jedis...haven't watched Ep.III yet...) and of course the Stormtroopers, the fully bad side...(but costume being costumes, I can live with ST if can get cheaper/better suit...so it's just a nice to have...not must have...) - CT's are the best/only fully armoured "good guys" troops in any episode; - Actually the Shock trooper looks nicer (mainly the helmet) and plus the colours on the otherwise plain white armour which allows for multiple variants...but the (armour) market is too new yet (even CT's aren't easy to get/not many choices) so have to wait few years...

- Is there any other distinct SW slogan besides "May the Force be with you"? Slogans, no. Quotes, yes. Some of my favourites:
"The Force will be with you, always."
"Do not underestimate the POWER of the DARK SIDE"
"I find your lack of faith disturbing"
"Beware of the dark side."
"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?"
"[Luke:] I can't believe it. [Yoda:] That is why you fail."
"clear your mind of questions, no more shall I teach you today."
"When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not. Hmm?"
"Use the FORCE, *name here*..."
"I'm your father, *name here*"
"If you're not with me, then you're my enemy"
"Asteroids(or replace with name of other objects) don't concern me"
"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"
"laugh it up, fizzball!"
"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
"Not if anything to say about it I have"
"Do, or do not, there is no try"
"I have a baaaad feeling about this...."(spoken once in EVERY one of the six movies. Can anyone name when it's spoken in each movie?)
"In my experience, there's no such thing as luck."
"Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy."
And my personal all-time favourite:
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"(also spoken once in EVERY one of the six movies. Can anyone name when it's spoken in each movie?)
