Definitely. It looks like the entirety of his business turned to trooper helmets, just judging by that storefront.

Interesting summary of the crux of the case there. Entertaining too! Thanks for posting.

Very interesting video, thanks for posting that! Great shots of the costumes too!

Inside the shop it's about 50/50 with more ordinary protective wear etc, although the SW gear has certainly become more obvious in the last year or two. There's also a lot of industrial workshops associated with the business, but unconnected with trooper production. There are regular occasions when the SW gear vanishes from display altogether - presumably to visit conventions etc. I guess this may become a more permanent state.
GINO, You are so deluded sometimes and nobody can get through to you can they?
As usual I will agree to disagree. You were banned for these reasons and your ban is not up for discussion here but I will post just so you dont continue to play the poor little victim. In actual fact you should of been banned along time ago if we were counting properly, but out of kindness we let many things slip at the time until we revised our COC. You just can't be civil enough, that's why you cause so much trouble, and EVERYBODY (even your few fanboy's) know's it deep down. It has NOTHING with you supposedley telling the truth, the truth is the Den intimidates you because of our knowledge. Shame really...

Oh yeah, that's what a credible discussion forum should do. Thanks for making my point for me. Ban the person whose knowledge makes us uncomfortable and shatters our incorrect beliefs.
BTW, does Brian realize what he's gotten himself into being over there? Shouldn't he be over here where the big boys play?
OMG. That is beyond hilarious. :lol
I think everyone can clearly see it is the other way around.
So what do you do to someone who intimidates you. You abuse your powers to silence them.

I dont want to get this thread locked.
It's not personal, I have tried to encourage you several times to play nice.
There is no getting through to you at all you think I'm wrong, I think you are wrong.
Leave the Den out of your little scheme and these good people can continue to enjoy the thread.

Honestly GINO, I really don't care what you think about The Prop Den or how you think you were being mistreated. But the fact that you would intentionally harm others to take a stab at us is just low.
I think you have pretty much demonstrated why Brian Muir isn't posting on the RPF, by reposting those pictures without permission here and elsewhere that was shared exclusively with The Den. I hate to speak for others and I hate to use Brian Muir in this argument against you.
This is his comment to your apparent lack of respect towards posting those pictures:

Nothing new no, basically just outlining that LFL are claiming copyright theft and AA is claiming industrial design in which case the copyright would be expired.

Actually, those photos he posted fall under internet fair use.
And based on all the discussion(wars) that took place HERE on the RPF, I think it is only fitting that those pics be shown here, which ethically and legally have every right to be.
Ask yourself, why wouldn't anyone want those photos distributed on the worlds largest most publicly viewed prop site? Or any other for that matter? Those photos represent something larger to this community.
Here is the letter of the law on the matter.

You do realize that your blatant disrespect of his wishes only makes it far less likely that he or anyone else will ever feel obliged to share anything with you. what is legal and what is RIGHT are not always the same thing. Your disrespect of Brian Muir, who is one of the rare folks who DOES share things, not only damages that board but THIS one and the reputatation of the hobby in general. You horde info that you acquire and require secrecy but when someone else shares and asks for it not to be shared you give THEIR info away?
Very poor form, Gino. You have been digging deep holes lately and your reputation as a Vader expert will soon pale in comparison to your reputation as someone not to be dealt with or associated with. Much like AA nobody is doing this to you but you. Soon it will be just you and your manakins (pun...manakin skywalker...get it...manakin...).
What would Obi Wan do?

Or anyone, but maybe that's the idea.
