Glad to be of assistance ;) More sites should have info threads like this :) And thank you for the head's up! I'm gonna think about those boots...

A word of caution about these boots:
http://discountstarwarscostumes.com/acc-jedi-boots.html
They aren't made for serious costumers.  They are Halloween costume boots and repeated use will result in cracks in the vinyl.  I know,  I've had a pair of them myself.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. They look a little...erm...scary in construction. I went on an ebay boot hunt late last night and found some really good deals as well as possible adds for this thread :)

Thanks for the FYI :)

Finding boots for you shouldn't be too much trouble....most ladies' riding boots will do....for us guys on the other hand,  it's a little bit more difficult!

Erm... I don't know about that. Me, I've got size 11 womens/10-11 mens...and I'm kind of a big girl  :-[ :-\ So...yeah... Men aren't the only ones who have trouble finding boots ;) That and I can't wear anything with excessive heels due to my uneven left ankle after breaking it in '06. Price, stlye, heel/sole height, and materials makes a BIG difference...

Just got my tunics in the mail from http://myworld.ebay.com/trinikwan/.

As promised here's my quick review.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!  The craftsmanship put into these tunics is absolutely unbelievable.  Everything is custom tailored to your measurements and the material used is as close to the screen version as I've seen.  Took me a little while to figure out how everything went together since its my first tunic set, but its not very difficult to figure out.  I highly recommend this seller to any and all who are looking for an amazing tunic.  I'll post pics when I find my camera....altho I'm not sure if this would be the right thread to do so...

I'm can't stress how happy I am with the way these turned out.

:::..::..:::: Update::..::..::
Here's a quick pic.  Excuse the giant mess behind me.


I'd make it clickable, but I'm currently running behind for some dinner plans...go figure, late cos I'm trolling the boards instead of getting ready...heh.

Han Solo Blasters are back in stock at http://www.buycostumes.com/Star-Wars-Han-Solo-Blaster/33124/ProductDetail.aspx

I've been waiting for these for months.  I suspect it will probably need a paint job, but for $9.99 you can't really go wrong.  I ordered two.

-=====================-

aslso, as mentioned in another thread, this is the seller who did my anakin belt.  she does amazing work, and yes! she does holsters. her luke ESB belt/holster set is incredible. and she will even work with you to create a custom holster, to fit any gun. http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/melmattson_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ
her wookie bandolier and jango belt are second to none.  she deserves a place on this list

Here is another belt maker: http://www.saberbelt.com/index.html
Pretty good prices. He also sells Anakin buckles. I was thinking of ordering my belt from him.  ;)

I call FOUL!!   >:( 

the pic they use to advertise the han solo blasters makes it look like a true replica! but its not!

I actually felt bad when I opened it, having recommended them to the members of this this forum.

(I guess you can't expect much for just $10 but at least they could have used an accurate picture *sigh*)

---> this is what it looks like in "reality" (tm)  ::)

-=======-

---> and this is what it looks like with a bit of paint  :-*



be warned : if you buy one you WILL want to paint it.

Thanks for the FYI Wedge. I guess the blaster could be for the quick fix when one can't find a better model when running out of time.

its for my son's halloween costume. I didn't want him walking around with an MR blaster replica ;) I thought for $10 you can't really go wrong.. and I guess thats still true. I was just a little shocked when I opened the box. it looks like a recast of the old kenner blaster from 1978, but with the space filled in between the barrel and the scope. and, oh yeah.  its freakin orange. didn't quite expect that
