Sorry Master Kenobi, but it rather irks me when someone offers complaints on a product by another organization, and that particular organization has costumes within it's ranks that are just as inaccurate as mine...and I get warned to "watch out!" Sorry, but I think my costume rocks and that's all there is to it!
I totally agree with you on this concern, JKG. You bought the costume and are very happy with it. I bought my Obi-Wan ROTS outfit there and was super happy. I really don't give 2 flying hoots in regards the Legion, 501st or anyone else. Not to put down the good and honest members there (Like Master Kenobi), but do they really have a say in what you wear and what is accurate? Accuracy is in the eye of the beholder, not an outside point of view. You bought the outfit because you wanted a good price and are satisfied with it. Let's not go down the road we went with the Luke ANH thread. If it comes to that, the clamp will tighten and shut down. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but no bringing people down. Now keep it clean and have fun.
This is a general advisary. Now, with that said.....
I really like the costume. The Costume Base is a good company that sells for good prices. The Mauser looks neat. Mostly metal, JKG.
