That would be me Maskenlav.

I met some people for this Fanime asking about where I got my Stormtrooper armor. For those interested in obtaining authentic movie accurate costumes, go here: http://www.501st.com/index.php. This is the main page and under costuming, there are several sub sections detailing various types of costumes, i.e. Sith Lords, Stormtroopers, Clone Troopers, etc. Mind you this site is for "bad guy" costumes. For Jedi or Rebel types, you should go to our sister site Rebel Legion.

Foxberry, the Golden Gate Garrison from the 501st Legion comes to Fanime every year. It be great to finally have a whole group going with more than just us GGG members. Btw, did you take a picture of us when we did the Empire vs Republic pic?

Btw for those who want's to do SWTOR type costumes, it might be a bit harder since costumes like the Sith Acolyte are still being designed and built. For those who plan to go for Expanded Universe Sith characters, go to this site. http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/

There are build threads for various EU characters and costumes. Notable ones being Starkiller, Darth Malgus (still figuring out the materials), Darth Revan, and the Sith Acolytes.

Any questions please feel free to ask.

Looking at getting this costume for 2013.

Haha, after the picture was taken, I would stand there awkwardly hoping they would start a conversation, but they just took the picture and ran away, so I'm just like WHAT....  ??? ??? ??? :-[ :-\

Take the initiative. Talk to them. But I think it's easier when you talk to other cosplayers. People that take pictures usually just come, take pic, and then move on to the next person.

Just quick off topic I see in your sig that you play water polo. Do you swim also?

I'm at acceptance since this year's Fanime wasn't that great. Plus I got a troop tomorrow so I can still be in costume. My only regret is not meeting more people than I could.

This is to the girl that was Darth Maul with the Yu-Gi-Oh! backpack. We hung out on Sunday outside the entrance of the con and talked a lot. I don't think it's right to say your name and where you're from here on an open forum so I'll keep that to myself. But I'm the Stormtrooper that talked to you for that good amount of time we hung out. Would definitely love to talk to you some more and hang out if you're cool with it. Shoot me a PM, would definitely love to hear from you again. By the way I still think the amount of time you spent to do that face paint was awesome! Looks fantastic!

Since I have an armored costume, I just use a towel and wipe off the moisture. Then leave it outside my bin to air out.

Stormtrooper pics please. I'm the only Stormtrooper at the con except for Sunday so most should be me.

Stormtrooper? https://picasaweb.google.com/116363372124472629316/2012Fanime#5748128803142790098

This one is not me either. Thanks for looking.

I probably should clarify since I just learned of him. I am not the Stormtrooper with the red band on my arm. I am a clean white Stormtrooper.

This sounds oddly familiar...

Not sure if it's the same guy though. Their attitudes seems the same.

Oh, and for clarification Terrence is actually not a Rover nor was he this year's Rover Head. I actually forget what he does >.>

I don't think that's the guy in the picture. All I know for sure is that he wrote the rules for the peacebonding weapons policy, so he claims to have. And from what I'm told, he's a military sergeant? Regardless this man has ruined my Friday and has done something the most attendees would probably see as the worst, being labeled as a criminal when you did nothing wrong. If he is not a rover, then why is he walking around being one? His conduct towards me and towards many others cannot go unpunished or overlooked. I have been told that he has been told to fix his attitude towards the attendees but who knows if that actually happened. In any case the damage has been done. He should not be allowed to come back as staff for Fanime 2013. Even though Fanime does not request 501st Legion appearances, we still support Fanime by going every year. As someone who recently joined the 501st, I was happy to troop (show up) at this con with my movie accurate Stormtrooper costume. Only to have day 1 for me to be an utter disaster because of one man.

I sincerely hope that if more people had issues with this guy please speak up. Who knows what he would do next year if he returns.

I don't mind at all :)

Thank you.

I cosplayed as the Zaku II (green robot) Satruday and Sunday and would love to see any pictures and/or videos taken of me.

Here you go buddy! I love it btw. You should upgrade to a Geara Zulu one of these cons.

Here's a sample pic of me in my ESB Stormtrooper armor. So something that looks like this is me.

Do you remember holding a doll? If so, then I may have taken this of you.

This one is my friend that was with me Sunday. Mind if I let him know about this pic?

I got one of somebody who might be you: http://sumblueguy41.deviantart.com/gallery/37405010?offset=24#/d51nv5j

Oh wow that's the first Rubies brand Stormtrooper I've seen. Didn't even know he was at the con. Sorry but that's not me but thanks anyways.

My main complaint is towards Head Rover Terrance. He wears glasses and has a buzz cut. This man should not be working again as head rover next year. He right off the bat very rude, smug and arrogant. I understand that staff says that he's military but I couldn't care less if he was. It gives no excuse for him to treat me the way he did. Basically this man ruined all of Friday for me as he outright denied my Stormtrooper blaster prop, which was made out of hyperfirm rubber with no working components and is a big piece of rubber, without giving me a chance to explain and prove that it's clearly a fake and ignoring other weapons that looked more real than mine. I also must point out that his examples as to trying to prove his point like when these snipers on the roof tops protecting Obama when he was in San Jose a couple of days ago wouldn't like my blaster, well what kind of idiot would even bring a fake gun or even a cheap $1 squirt gun when the President is around? And no sorry but I also have to call bullshit on police frisking Stormtroopers just because of our blasters. Even as going as far as going on the radio and essentially labeling me a criminal. What's funny is he claims to be a fan of the 501st Legion, an organization I'm apart of, while at the same time as I said treated me like a criminal which not only did he disrespected me but spat all over the good name of the 501st Legion as a whole. I am not the only person who this man had gave crap to. There are plenty of others who understand where I'm getting at. I spent most of my Friday trying to get this mess of a situation resolved so that my fellow garrison members wouldn't have to go through what I had to go through.

Also I think the staff can do a better job not procrastinating. Having per-registration, hotel registration, guest announcements come extremely late is not the way staff should run a con. I understand that there was a staff change but that's not enough to excuse such a poor job.

All things concerned the only major complaint is Terrance. He is the number one example of who not to hire back.

Was for the most part I was the only Stormtrooper at the con. There were Clones and Scout Troopers present as well.

Going as:

ANH Stormtrooper
ESB Stormtrooper

Quick question. During these 5 minute rounds are we sitting? I'm debating whether or not if I want to arrive in costume and my armor does not leave room to sit normally.

My question: What is delaying the confirmation? Seeing as how people are trying to plan out their days, it becomes a hassle to not know if they're able to go to this event or not which hinders other plans. And I don't think it's a good idea to keep delaying this especially since Fanime begins next week.

I wasn't sure which to pick so I just checked Friday and Sunday. Does it matter at all?

Hello Bushido,

Those are just your preferences and we will try our best to give you those dates/times. However we will contact those who signed up first and tell them their information! Signup spots are limited so we cannot guarantee anything. Best of luck.

So is there an ETA as to when we'll know if we got in or not?
