RodneysGirl Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi! As here are so many Cosplayers I hope anyone could help me. I have a question concerning my Jedi outfit, especially to those of you who arrive via airplane. I would like to carry my lightsaber hilt with me, which is a Master Replica hilt, just without the electronics. Now I'm a bit worried about the security measures at the airport and I'm not quite sure whether I should carry the hilt in my luggage or my hand baggage. Don't know what anyone at the security might want to think about the lightsaber. Has anyone had any experiences with travelling with lightsabers or similar props? Would you suggest to carry it in the hand baggage rather than in the suitcase? Would be awesome if some of you could share their experiences. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileywaveygirl Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Having seen that Jewel Staite is attending, I'll be River Tam for the second year running! Beyond excited! Just need to get the costume completed fully (I need her weapons which I haven't got round to sorting yet) & a better wig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Honestly, with the way security is today it's best to carry it in you luggage. My friend Dave went as a Jedi one year and he had a light saber too and he carried it in his luggage, took up a bit of needed space but saved him the hassle of security worries. Hope that helped Xxx Hi guys! I'm a newbie to the world of Cosplay and have set myself a New Year's resolution to do my first one at LFCC (yes, I actually keep my New Year's resolutions! :-) Do most Cosplayers go for the entire weekend? (as I've seen conversations about multiple costumes) Thanks for your help. I look forward to seeing you there, Jonathan. Yay first ever cosplay! I remember mine. Zero from vampire knight at the irish anime convention in 2008. It's nerve-racking doing cosplay first time round but you get so much support and love fro People who really love the person you cosplay as! When I dressed as David Bowie at one convention I got lots of hugs and requests for photos, it's confidence building! Me myself, costume wise, will have three different costume, at least one will be star trek related, one to do with some form of Japanese street fashion and the other movie based ( yet to be decided) If you need any help or tips please let me know! I will be more then happy to help out! Xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jassie Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Our two little boys cosplayed last year as a Dalek and very mini darth vader! Their dad and I have promised we will join them this year too. We have ideas on what we want to do but now just got to start getting them together. Fingers crossed they come out well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
