too crowded (vinyl or leather?)

And Toba......it isn't how much you spend, it is the time and love you put into it........

True. My saber only cost me about $4 , but it took a ton of work putting it together.

[Emerita]

You can tell that alot of love went into it also.....great job........

[Toba Qaf]

Yeah... I was really mad when it fell off of my belt and broke in half . That is, one of the tubes came disconnected from the other one, and they both landed on the concrete . This really scratched up the paint, but now it has a more of a "used" look.

[Schph Gochi]

ouch.....the saber broke in half.....that had to have hurt!

And Em..
once again I think exactly like you....I always feel that everyone else's costume is better than mine...I am still not happy with mine. I want to re-do my robe and my light tunic....right now my budget is the only thing keeping me from re-doing those things.

So...submit your picture...we are never truly done! (and photos hide a lot of the faults....lol)

[Emerita]

OK....I'll have my daughter take an "official" one of me...lol.....

[Nova Darklighter]

You'd be surprised at what I think about mine sometimes as well, I'm never really happy with them and I'm always doing somthing to them, then I start another, because I think of a way to improve it, or want a different style because I think it will look better. You did a really great job on the lightsaber hilt. I'm not sure I'll ever get time to do one of those, and just no real place to do that type of craft in the apt.

This one is gonna kill you guys...
been looking for black boots for a smuggler costume I am trying to put together....

the first pair I won on auction on e-bay cost me $75.00...but they were the all leather Ralph Lauren combat boots....that ended up not fitting in the calf...so they are now back up for auction...

Well, I have still been looking...and came across another pair....these were all leather too...won the auction...worn twice...black leather...and the final price...
$4.29!

OK Schp thats it you truly have a shoping angel. Lucky you are. I have boots they work but yeah their vinal and my feet feel warm ten get sweaty then get cold so I'm lookin for black leather and dark brown leather and man let me tell you hard to find in stores so I'm going to e bay ugh. All the boots in the store are well to girly girl and have heels. Jedi dont have no stinkin heels lol. Personaly I'd like combat boots that are knee high I heard about youres but alas to small they were. I have to get Draxxsus some boots to ugh talk aobut a nightmare. Tahiri is easy we were the same size LOL so I can get two of what I really want and we can share. How fun. Yes we have the same taste to weird. I think I raid her closet more than she raids mine though LOL but I put half my stuff in hers anyway.
Master Schp I have to say youre coustume is beutiful. So quite baggin on youreself. I think you look totlay Fly in it. I have to make mine well yeah I have a black one but it is very thrown together. anyway Im making some more and I'm terified to say the least.

[glow=blue,3,0000] Lucky you! I never thought I'd say this, but now I'm gonna start using e-bay. A find like that would make it worth the risk! [/glow]

[Emerita]

Yeah...lolI gop there and look everyday.....I saw a pair of brown leather boots there yesterday for $14.00...I may go back and bid on them.

[Schph Gochi]

E-bay is a great resource, there is no doubt about it...

there are Jedi pouches up there for sale too....but I think the auction ended, and the pouches were up over $85.00 when I last looked.

I am not sure the boots that I bought won for $4.29 willl fit...but, for that kind of money...if they don't...I can always see if they fit any of you guys...or donate them to a charity that collects clothing.....

Most of the sellers will accept personal checks..or money orders (for those who don't want to get involved with the whole Pay Pal thing)...just double check what kind of payments the seller takes...it cost nothing to search e-bay...it costs nothing to be a buyer on e-bay...but you do have to sign up if you want to bid.

[Schph Gochi]

Yikes....

the Jedi Pouch auction on e-bay ended...the pouches went for $185.00!

[Emerita]

Man, that is alot of money...were they resin or leather?..There is a guy over at the Legion that sells the leather ones that are identical to the movie ones for $75.00 for the set of three. I ordered them from him and I am very pleased with them.....

[Schph Gochi]

They were leather...and looked exactly like the ones in the movie...

who is making them at the RL? Matsuo?

Maybe when I get my income tax refund I could squeeze that into the budget.....

[Syn-Kai-Jinn]

how and who do we contact at the Rebel Legion
Em?

for the pouches that is !!!
