bigironvault Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 Hi all, if y'all haven't figured it out yet I go to quite a few Cons and wondering if a painted Hasbro is somewhat passable in that environment. I'm getting a DD's E-11 Resin kit and that'll be for the "official" or formal events but for random Cons I was thinking of just painting up a Hasbro gun and using that in my holster --- if the RCMP (or Police here in Canada) yoinks that from me no biggie. Thoughts? Quote
Griffin-X[TK] Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 Yes, i use a Hasbro mod and lots of others do as well. It really comes down to the look of the blaster and how you do the mod. For pics, I use a resin kit blaster since it's bigger and closer to size, shape, and accuracy. My 2 cents... Quote
27555[501st] Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 From the 501st standards, you only need need to have a non-hasbro for Centurion certification. So I would figure as long as it doesn't look too chessy (which I'm sure yours will look good still) you should be good! Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 I dig toting my hasbro around... it makes noise and people rarely expect it. Aloha, -Eric Quote
bigironvault Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Posted April 3, 2012 For me I tend to go to a lot of Cons in Canada and US so I cross borders and stuff. I don't want my "good" blaster to be confiscated at the Canadian border. If they take a plastic Hasbro I would be less heartbroken than if they took my "photo-quality" E-11. Good! Basically just what I wanted to hear... gonna grab one now. Quote
bigironvault Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Posted April 3, 2012 Dammit just read some stuff that made me think twice about buying the Hasbro E-11 from Trooperbay. Not sure if it is wise now. Anyone know if I can get a Hasbro E-11 in Canada? Quote
Shifty203 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 I picked one up in the clearance bin at toysrus in Edmonton last week. Had to dig through all the clone trooper blasters to get it from the bottom of the bin. They're getting rare, but you should be able to find one at a local walmart or toysrus. Quote
bigironvault Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Posted April 4, 2012 Canada customs seems to have an issue with folks receiving toy guns via mail. I guess it is to the discount bins for me! Quote
bigironvault Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Posted April 4, 2012 SWEET! Just got an agreement to get one from one of the guys at the Rebel Legion - quite ironic. Happy now! Quote
27555[501st] Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 Awesome! Might want to pick up 2 from the discount bin too, just to have. Quote
bjsavage7[TK] Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 I dig my Hasbro blaster. It's great at cons because its light and doesn't hurt people as bad as a resin one would if you accidentally bonk somebody in the head who doesn't get our limited vision. lol... Sucks about gun laws in some countries. I'm glad the authorities are fairly "pro-blaster" where I troop. Quote
boomshakra[TK] Posted April 24, 2012 Report Posted April 24, 2012 I was also considering having a Hasbro (or 2...never know when you'll need a backup) for trooping - of course that means ordering from Doopys again...which is fine, but the long wait for the kit to ship to the US is not much fun Quote
bigironvault Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Posted April 24, 2012 Yeah I'm building two E-11's right now. Still waiting to see if anyone has a spare Hasbro conversion kit lying around - I really don't want to wait for the Doopy's and the shipping to Canada is pretty high. I'm going to grab some supplies for my Doopy's E-11 today, I'm going to try and make it as solid (structually) a build as possible. My motto is going to be "glue and screw" where possible. Quote
Thalizar[TK] Posted April 24, 2012 Report Posted April 24, 2012 I have a modded Hasbro but rarely use it. I normally carry my Hyperfirm just because it's durable and don't have to worry about kids handling it. But I do want to get another Hasbro and put a Hyperdine kit in it, kids absolutely love it. Quote
bigironvault Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Posted April 25, 2012 Would kill for a hyperfirm but no way I can find one in Canada. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 25, 2012 Report Posted April 25, 2012 Can you ship them within Canada? I ask in that there is a lot of interaction between Seattle & Vancouver troopers, and I've never been stopped crossing the border for my hyperfirm (just leave it in my bin). It would seem to me that once in Canada - you can move them around easier? Quote
bigironvault Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Posted April 25, 2012 I think I can ship them within Canada. I've long given up on it though. Now working on a resin kit and a hasbro-mod. Quote
TK-Sixx Posted June 16, 2012 Report Posted June 16, 2012 Hey I am building a DD E-11 full kit and I want to do some mods on it. What I really want to try is to use the "guts" of a Hasbro for light or sound. I was wondering if any of you had a cracked or smashed Hasbro that still had working electronics. Can't afford a hasbro at all, let alone one to rip apart Any help here? Buler? Quote
bigironvault Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Posted June 17, 2012 If you can afford a DD, you can afford a Hasbro! Keep an eye out I've seen some for as low as $20 floating around. That being said the guts of the Hasbro does seems quite large and the small and narrow cavity of the DD "seems" to make it nigh impossible to do what you intend to do... unless someone can prove me wrong. Quote
TK-Sixx Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 Why do you keep riding my an impolite person? You have no idea what my life is like. Sure a month or so ago I had money, was even getting armor, but some shucks happened. Right now $20 is a lot for me. Try living on $600 a month Veterans Disability then come ride my an impolite person some more because I do not care. I would use more expletives but it's medication time. Quote
bigironvault Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Posted June 17, 2012 Woah! No offense meant there Michael. Just saying that you can find Hasbro's for way less than a DD kit because I read your post and it sounded like you thought a Hasbro was just as expensive to get as the DD (because on some websites people overcharge for a Hasbro big time). Sorry if it offended you. I guess it's how text comes out when it is written and not spoken. Back to the real point of my post - I don't know if you can gut the Hasbro and make it work with a DD? Quote
TK-Sixx Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 Hey sorry myself, your right "Lost in Textation" lol I just figured if someone already had one that broke on them during an upgrade or mishap, I would try to salvage the guts. I am pretty good with electronics if I have the parts. And again, sorry for the misunderstanding. Quote
Evilboy[501st] Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 I started with a Hasbro and Doopys mod, and then the Doopys Full resin, and I am looking to do a real Sterling mod in the future...but the Doopys/Hasbro is great for the basics; Light weight, makes Pew-Pew noises...and most people don't know the difference...

Evilboy[501st] Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Don't worry Mike, no one is on your rear! We are all friends here! Edited June 17, 2012 by Evilboy Quote
TK-Sixx Posted June 17, 2012 Report Posted June 17, 2012 Plus with the medication change, I am in a weird state. So please forgive me Keith Quote
