    COPIED FROM COSTUMING FORUM.....

    As of 11/3/02:
    I just got done with a 1 week cruise on the Royal Caribbean (on my honeymoon with my beautiful wife and was overall a truly great experienc!!!) and I was going to wear my Biker Scout costume... only the cruiseline LOST THE CASE CONTAINING MY ENTIRE THING IN IT!!!! The only thing that remains is a resin pistol. I spent HOURS AND HOURS and LOTS of $$ into it and now my most absolute favorite costume in the whole world that I've ever owned is gone. I've filed loss reports and claims with my travel insurance company and am expected to get reimbursed for the value of some of that, but I'm pretty much back at square one here. the last I saw it was getting off the plane from San Diego. It went to the ship for departure and never saw it that whole week. Lost and founds around the cruiseline and Airports are a no-show. I just don't get it.

    It's gone and vanished. One of the biggest cases the ship could board on there and they LOST it... I just don't understand, but I'm truly at an all time low with this costume loss. This was a good $800+ investment....

    PLEASE... PLEASE... any help would be absolutely wonderful if anyone has seen anybody trying to sell a dirtied up biker Scout costume. Mine does have distinguishing features that other Biker Scout Costumes do not:

    - A permanent blast mark on the LEFT side of the chest armor

    - 2 straps on the right white boot where the holster is mounted. They were made from hiking boots and covered in fake leather and then dirtied up with acrylic paint.

    - The right boot buttons shut and the left boot has no open/close function. It is one piece.

    - the inside shoulder armor pieces are labeled LEFT and RIGHT in permanent blue sharpie. In addition the labeled right shoulder piece has a blast mark on it, not as strongly marked as the chest, but is noticeable and non removable.

    HERE IS A LINK TO PICTURES OF MY COSTUME (please copy and paste to address bar):

    PLEASE EMAIL ME AT NienNumb1@msn.com if you have some info. This costume was obtained through custom made parts only available through 501st sites. The armor was obtained ONLY through 501st sources and there's no way they could have bought them from a store. Some parts were self made as well such as the cumberbun and glove gauntlets.

    Thanks in advance for keeping a watch.
