Okay! So Comic Con Stockholm Winter 2024 happened, and boy was it awesome! I got to meet up with the fellow Garrison mates and Squad mates and Fire Team mates and fellow FISD staff too!
I've had talks with the troopers in my Fire team for some time, telling them that I've wanted to up our game when it comes to the marching in parades. @Tall_Trooper has a signature banner that I really got inspired by, so I gathered all the TKs aside after the morning meetings to go through how to turn and how to walk in the parades (with holstered weapons) - but then came @Locitus (in his Officer uniform) and had a marching session with us! It was really the thing that we all needed to take it that one step further of becoming the Stormtroopers we see on screen! (of course it can and will have to be fine tuned more, bit it's a start!!)
This Comic Con I also used my space pack, for the first time since implementing my new strapping system! It sits great right now, but I don't like not being able to put it on by myself, so I'll continue working on that in the future!
We start the days off by patrolling the queues! That's always really fun since people usually are super excited in the morning queues!
A pic from the first photo booth session of the weekend!
The line up looked like this after one of the parades! We were quite a few, nothing compared to some of the events in the U.S. but for us this a great turnout!
This was before our march training session, don't have a picture yet of the "after"!
I can't find the hotel room I'm looking for...
But something that I had been looking for that I was able to find was the FISD Beret flash! Now I've got two! Don't ask me how!
A pic of me and @Lafleur who had his first con experience this weekend! So happy for him, and he is a great addition to our Fire team Scary Looking Nerd Herders! Been helping him with 501st approval and EIB submission photos, we're aiming for Centurion!
We have a really fun thing which is the "Statue corner", where we can stand up on a little platform and stay completely still, and then people can scan a QR code to read more about the costume, and when they do - or when they stand close to you and take a picture, you can scare them a little bit! Everyone, meet my sister from another mister, Jenny "Storm" TK-94012! She usually features on "Cantina's New Hope" on YouTube!
They had a 1:1 scale X-wing cockpit that I got inside of (having flewn by myself for the first time in a real aircraft lately I was inclined to jump in to see what technology the rebels had to work with) and by instinct started shooting at the rebel medical frigates! (@TheSwede didn't see this so he suggested that I should be relieved of my staff and attaché positions )
I came back later in my Space Pack to point it out for my fellow gunners to take care of! And with this, let the Spacetrooper montage begin:
They also had a 1:1 scale Falcon cockpit! Naturally, I pointed this out as well!
Side note: @Coil looked awesome inside the Falcon!
Anyways, here's the droid...
Here is me pointing out that this is our member @SwedishTX who is working on his Captain Enoch!
It's rumored that our Emperor has a TK armor on the way!
Boss forgot his helmet!
He had something right... there!
I'm pointing out the charity of our choice, the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund - to which we have helped over all the years to collect over 2.500.000 SEK, a total we reached at this year's Comic Con!
A stinky little green thing!
Gonk!
Do you have a license for that thing?
Showing the kids where to aim at our Blast a Trooper booth!
That's all for now! Take care everyone!
