Tech151[TK] Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 So... any update on the ROTJ elite Standards? Anything at all... even if it's just what lenses . Quote
TK8280 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 So... any update on the ROTJ elite Standards? Anything at all... even if it's just what lenses . First I think we should eliminate the Hasbro toy blaster from any elite submissions then we can focus on the smaller items Quote

SuperTrooper Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 From recent talks with Paul I don't think the standards are going to be raised anytime soon. MEPD raised theirs when they got to about a third of all TDs being deployed, right now we have about 2.7% of the stormtroopers as elite. Lets get a few more % under our belt before we raise the bar higher. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Considering that there is only one ROTJ Elite, I'd be open to changing the standards depending on what exactly is being proposed. I can say that removing Hasbro for Elite is off the table for now. Quote

Smitty Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 I beg to differ with removing the Hasbro blaster from the elite options. Some hasbro blasters can be modded to make quite a convincing E-11. I do however propose that Hasbro requirements include the following in order for Elite Status 1. Correct barrel modifications: 2 T track strips to cover the row of holes and removal of bottom left factory T track and replaced with a row of holes. Removal of the left side crecent greeblie. Possibly also flipping the right side crecent greeblie 180 degrees to make it correct. 2. Existing greeblie requirements for each movie as currently stated by the Elite Standards (hammers, door catch, ESB Alligator clips D-ring) 3. Must have a proper counter for ANH 4. Must have a proper maghousing installed 5. Must have a proper stock installed (functioning or non functioning - just has to have one) *for a ROTJ blaster I think all the T track should be removed and replaced with the proper U-shaped channel such as provided by Stomper* I am 100% up for being more stringent for the Hasbro blasters but not thier elimination.

Jumpin Jax Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 I'm pretty sure that anyone needing an elite rotj can do it with my Starlite blasters, they're pretty generic in terms of size, the major details can be added, all my body mold will include is the vent holes, end cap and grip. Stay tuned. Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 12, 2010 Report Posted April 12, 2010 those blasters look like buttered black toast. Quote
