[Noob Trooper with lots of questions]

Hi, I have been looking into building a sandtrooper set but I haven't got a clue as were to get the molded pieces.

I've been on Ebay but i read somewhere to stay away from there if I want a 501st approved set and I know that ol George makes it a little difficult to legaly make and sell the pieces but I don't have the access to or the knowlege about vacum forming and molding. Where is a good place to start? Who is a reputable maker of the suits?

I don't mind paying a chunk of money but I want it to be worth it, not some Rubies costume. This is something I've wanted since 5 years old when I first saw Star Wars on May 27, 1977.

Thanks Sarty B
