Post by: CZ3RO on August 08, 2012, 09:22:59 PM
Anyone hitting Toronto Fan Expo in a few weeks?  I'll be there on the Saturday (Aug 25).

If so lemme know, or just look for the Sith with the yellow saber and come say hi.  :D

Crap. I'm heading down to Toronto on the 30th (I'm in Ottawa), so it looks like I'll be just barely missing out. Ah well, one day...

Silverback:
Yup, it's a Nintendo Zapper alright - I'll take some pics on the weekend and post in here in the costume section.  To be super nerdy for a second, the character I created doesn't have Force lightning ability so still keeps a blaster at his side.

Killic:
The one in April is "Wizard World, Toronto Comic Con", it's a mid-sized con and really comics-focused (like bins and bins of back-issues, not as much merch or non-comic related stuff).

Fan Expo is the big one for Toronto; it's comics, sci-fi, anime, gaming and the Rue Morgue Festival of Fear (horror expo).

Ok cool, I went to their site and poked around. I'm off on Sundays so I might make it down for that day. For a Saturday off I need a months notice or more.

i actually have the same one and i was thinking of making it look more like a blaster also. now my little guy and i just run around the house shooting at each other using the zapper and a big pump action nerf gun. i may go to lowes and pick up some paint and some pvc to make a scope. i look foward to see some closeups of your pistol when you get a chance so i can get some ideas. thanks

$70 for the pair, and yeah, they have a prescription in them.  I got mine from clearlycontacts.ca - it's a Canadian site; but they're actually called "Darth" contacts, so Google can show you lots of other places to grab them.  :)
