Thinking about getting these, but would love to see more recent photos, especially of the elbow pads. Can someone help me out?

If only the shipping to Germany wouldn't be that hard to swallow..I'm not sure what imports into Germany are like, but for Canada: just getting this 2.5lb parcel (it included a hose and connector, not pictured) was pricey. The order price was $118.97, shipping was another $50.63, and then it had an extra $65 added in duties.... it's a bit rough since it effectively doubles the price of the order. This was my third order though so I knew what to expect. My advice is that if you are ordering parts for a costume, try to get everything you'd need in one go so that you don't need to pay for several parcels.

Looking forward to more pictures by cryrid and KingPin.They do not. However, in a previous order from them I've simply cut out two squares of black fabric and used some very quick hand sewing to stitch each corner in place. For just a few minutes of work, it gets the job done well enough and gives it that extra bit of flare.

But there is no better source for the pads and the GB1 belt than GB Fans. Hands down the best I've seen. Hope it will get a pass by customs...let's see, would save alot. Right now it's $50 for the belt, nametag and pads and roughly the same for shipping. Already got my boots, ordered a PKE holster and key fobs from the UK via ebay. Waiting for the Tru Spec suit to show back up on amazon in my size and for Todd Cook to have another batch of the No Ghost legacy patch...If you email AJ he can combine the order into one to save on shipping, and refund you the difference. He's done this for me before.

I have NO idea how to open the buckles to slide a trap holster and a couple lobster claws thru. Got this for FE, but I need a tutorial or some tips.

(NOTE): Had to recall what piler approach I used for the flat pistol belt. These take a few drops of sweat...but I finally got the trap holster threaded! (I gotta remember not to panic, takes away the fun.)
