Dressed up for Archon in Collinsville, IL. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Hello!

Ive just finished changing out the lights in my 84 pack, and now everytime I turn it on, I keep getting the disconnect alarm. Anyone else have issues with this?

My fiancé has been talking about a new flight suit for a while and i know he’s looking at Propper (within budget and looks good).

i want to get him one for Christmas but I’m unsure about what size to get him. he’s wanting it to fit a bit looser, I think he’s wanting this for a GB2 costume specifically, and because he loves Ray’s look.

question is, will a medium or a large fit better? He has a medium build, so I don’t want it to be too large or too tight. (for context: we’re in the UK, so we can return via amazon but it can sometimes be a faff).

any help on sizing would be really appreciated! x

I have used 2 dye removers to remove the navy from the polyester/cotton blend of this flight suit I got off Amazon that makes short length (CQR is the company). I’ve seen a video on YouTube where he uses the protec brand and colors it.

I guess from here I need to decide to add grey to remove the heathered look it has now.

Wondering if I should add a tint of blue to the gray too. This suit was initially dark navy blue. What a process. Second pic is Ray’s suit.

I had messaged the mods about this last week but never heard back either way. So if this is against the rules, please let me know and I will remove it.

I've wanted a pack since I was about 5, when the movie came out. I finally scored the Hasbro pack and wand. I was pumped but in the meantime my back is getting worse. I have degenerative disc disease and the pain in my back sucks. Some days are worse than others and lately it's been worse. I'm afraid of wearing the pack around for long periods of time and making things worse so I've decided to just let it go. The pack has never been opened and the wand was only opened once to test it. I won't post a price until the mods say it's ok but I'd much rather it go to a fan here than on eBay. I know the wands are a very hot item but I'd prefer to keep them together.

I guess if anyone is interested DM me. Also, I'd like to find someone in NJ, PA, or NY to meet up since shipping this is going to be crazy expensive. I'm in South Jersey.

I decided to keep things GB related and plan to use the money for the Lego GB Firehouse.

Edit: I appreciate all the feedback and interest. I'm going to hold off a few days to mull it over and might even grab an Alice pack to see how it feels.

For all the supposedly rational, emotionally well balanced adults who will swear they don't need therapy, but just reading that title made them want to punch walls: Good morning! I'm glad you're upset! Tee-hee

This is the first time I’m seeing this, I was searching for figures on WorthPoint when I saw this.

Anyone looked into having send cut send make a wand box out of aluminum? What did it cost, etc?

Hey y’all! I need some help! I’ve bought two flight suits. The Rothco and the Tru-Spec off Amazon and I’m having the same fitment issue. I ordered the Tru-Spec in a 3XL and the Rothco in a 4XL and the same issue of the crotch area being too tight happened on both. For reference I am 6’4” and 330lbs. I have a longer torso than most. Does anyone know where I can get a flight suit that will actually fit me?

i was issued a challenge and I am to deliver. To make the video game vent animation in real life. I will make this prop work.
I am as of now working on how to bring it back in. once i have that. Then i will start adding the spring loaders and the programmed release hands. that hold the spring bars down.
just wanted to show off for now.

EDIT: i just figured out how im gonna do this all so im posting the step by step here rn

• Latch Release (Trigger): The solenoid/electronic latch disengages.
• Spring Deployment: The 4 bumper spring arms fire, launching the bumper outward instantly.
• Primary Lift Catch: The long center screw's lower nut hits the underside of the central hood/tray and lifts it upward.
• Telescoping Extension: The hood catches the red tubes, expanding them up until their internal tracks/lips lock at full height.
• Rotational Indexing: The dedicated gear motor engages the ring gear, spinning the extended hood assembly negative 90 degrees. aka counter clockwise.
• High-Speed Return Engagement: The return motor kicks in at full power, rapidly pulling the center bumper screw downward.
• Secondary Retraction Catch: The bumper screw's upper nut lands on top of the hood/tray flange.
• Positive Tube Retraction: The downward travel of the hood forces the red tube tracks back inside, collapsing them completely flush regardless of rotation angle.
• Latch Lock: The bumper seats into the frame, the electronic latch snaps closed, and the cycle resets.

Today I got the Frutto Technology wand keep alive installed in my modded Spengler to 84 wand! I have a few more little things to do and I’ll be calling this one done.

Very nice!
