I've Crossed Over to the Dark Side...
 

I really need to stay out of Dark Horse Comics @ Universal City Walk. :D

Last Saturday, my mission was to find (still) the Yoda and Anakin Skywalker light sabers in the store, but alas, Dark Horse no longer stocks light sabers.

Anyhooo, I'm lookin' for light sabers and since they didn't have any, decided to browse the store for some comics or something to interesting to add to my toy collection. I was looking at the "300" sword, shield, andhelmet trio, when my peepers wandered 180 degrees and fell upon three helmets; the Boba Fett Episode V Limited Edition, Star Wars 501st Legion Clone Trooper Limited Edition, and the Clone Trooper Episode III Limited Edition. I fell in love with the Clone Trooper Helmet on sight and now I have officially crossed to the dark side.

I want a storm trooper suit from Shepperton Design Studios , but currently, they are being sued by the Emperor (George Lucas) for God knows what and they won't ship anything to the US anymore. Doesn't help that the Euro is trouncing the dollar, so figure on the price being 2-1 exchange.[:@] Ahh well, these blokes made the original and I didn't have these cool options as a kid, sssoooo.....I want it!

Anyhoo, here's pics of my new toy. I'm going to mod it with a miniature fan because it's hot as hell in there and I actually sounded like Lord Vader when I was breathing. The eyes fogged up pretty quick so I definitely need some ventilation. Plenty of room and it feels like I'm wearing a bucket, but it's freakin' sweet!:D I think you can actually see my eyes glowing through the visors. Mwuahahahahahahahha!!!!!!!

Damn Miss Air Force, where have you been or have we just been missing you lurking around the shadows

I was expecting a, "I got a gixxer today" type thing lol.

Haha, the only other person I know that buys stuff like that is my cousin. That dude soends so much money on the weirdest ****... but it's his **** and he likes it!

Yep, totally expected the title to be metaphorical.

Brother did I know you were going to show up on this one. You better be careful, Air Force NCO who has been accused of being a Marine, and few times

You guys are funny :D Yeah, I've been lurking here and there, but when all's said and done, I always end up back here. Kind of like (and I'm dating myself here) a roach motel....you can check in....but you can't check out :D:D:D
