Boots!!!

What about the custom Mando boots from Crowe? I saw a pair that sold in the Cargo Hold recently. They deviate from screen accurate slightly because they are all leather, but that doesn't matter because that part is covered by the flightsuit.
 
BKBT, which Crow/Gio boots are those? The Pit Crews I got from him were durn near perfect. The bits that are supposed to be leather are leather, and the uppers that are supposed to be nylon (or whatever) are nylon (or whatever).

I'm pretty sure he's continuing to get caught up on his initial deluge of orders/interest for those. *heh* I waited a year for mine, but was in the initial interest/payment group. Others who ordered later got theirs sooner. In my opinion, they're well worth it.

Yea Crow, from what I saw on CTN, has gotten back in the game...it appears he came back and rectified the issues he had previously and is re-building his reputation.

As for the actual boots, he calls them something to the affect of "mandolorian" boots, which are essentially similar to black combat boots just with the Kenneth Cole sole...he goes only up to a size 14 from what he told me.

I have been considering asking him to mold up my size 16's KC's and make a boot just like that for a future project....
 
Oooohh... I think I see what you're talking about. He does the Pit Crews as replicas, but also does the white/tan Galactic Marine/Light Infantry style, and the all-leather "Mandalorian" style. I had forgotten about that last.

The whole mess was that he drastically underestimated demand/interest. That, combined with a bunch of bad stuff at his end (health problems that got sorted, ongoing PayPal issues vis-a-vis his country's relationship with PP -- he can't link his PP to a bank account, and is limited to how much PP will let him withdraw as a prepaid card every month)... he just got overwhelmed and a lot of people started hating on him. I know he's a good guy and would never leave anone hanging, even if it took him a while. I even got my Royal Guard and Republic Commando boots from him during the time I was waiting for my Pit Crews. Since he already had them in my size on hand, there was no waiting and I got them a week later. He even did the right thing and stopped taking new orders for a while so he could catch up somewhat.

As for the rocketpack... What are you running into? Which version of the pack do you want, and what are your constraints? There are templates and pepakura patterns out ther eif you're up for scratch-building your own. And I'm pretty sure there are at least a couple vendors around here who sell them...

Peregrinus, I've been given a stubby jetpack but it's less accurate than I hoped! Will go for a home build as I lost my job just before xmas!! Downloaded all files earlier today. Thanks
 
I see six pairs of the pit crew replicas from Crow in the cargo hold now.
Jonah, the ones I was talking about earlier were the all leather Mandalorian boots. I am not sure if the pit crew replicas are still being made or if it was a one time run.
 
I think all three versions will be ongoingly available, presuming he'll have resumed regular production as needed once things settle to a more background level.

Is there anything on the stubby pack you got that's salvagable? That'd take some of the sting out.

To be clear. I ordered a pair of Jango boots from crow. I was continually given promises that they were on the way and they never came. We did this dance for over a year. All the while others on clonewars site were getting their boots and they had ordered them up to a year after I did. I never hated on the guy, neither did any of the others on the forgotten list. I just wanted my boots in the order I paid for them. I understood, as we all did, life is crazy sometimes. But when you are telling people that you can't get their boots done while making them for people who ordered them a week ago, it gets tired. We sorted it out eventually and I got the boots. I like them very much and all is well. No worries, but make sure you represent all sides fairly if you're going to comment.
