501st Legion on Deal Or No Deal – Star Wars edition! Did you see it?
Apr 28th
I just had to give a shout out to the 501st Legion. They made an appearance on the NBC TV show Deal or No Deal and they did a great job! I have met some of these guys and they are some of the nicest people out there. I dream some day of getting enough money to acquire the armor and become a member. That would be a geek dream come true.
All I can say, as I watched the 501st up on stage, is that those guys must have been pretty nervous. What an awesome experience for them! Now that the show has aired, I’m sure the 501st will be able to write more about their experience. It is my understanding that they were under confidentiality agreements (duh) until the show aired. It got over about an hour or so ago. They don’t have much on their site right now about it.
They also got to meet the Deal Or No Deal models in Princess Leia slave outfits. Lucky dogs! 
Nice job guys!
Stormtrooper Armor For Me!
Oct 17th
Yeah, I know. Halloween is right around the corner. I’m poor and can’t really do too much this year, but if money was no obstacle, I would get myself Stormtrooper Armor as seen in Star Wars. I’ve researched it a bit and you would be surprised how many people have gone out of their way to create their own armor. You can even find armor on E-bay. Just do a search for Stormtrooper Armor!
Have you ever heard of the 501st Legion? These guys march in parades, attend benefits and more! I actually met one of these guys from the Alpine Garrison. I would eventually like to look into becoming a member. The guy was nice and I can really appreciate the passion these guys have for Star Wars.
There are a lot of sites out there that give advice on how to build your own armor. There is a lot involved, but many of the replicas look exactly like the props used in Star Wars. Take a look for yourself!
