SethB6025 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I sold my old suit in November last year, I should have sold it earlier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-4242 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 still a bit expensive but it is a complete suite nuts-to-butt. with speaker system, snap system, undersuit, boots, the works... probably about $1100-1200 worth of stuff. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weiBes trooper Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I like the TE ROTJ suit,that is one i would get if my credit card wasnt pushed to its limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-459 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I knew I should have waited to sell mine. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD2802 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Buyer beware. I read one TK's blog about how it took forever to get a suit from this guy, and when it arrived, the custom fit had to be heavily modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Which is funny 'cause when I bought my kit from him 5 years ago, it fit perfect out of the box & it's my TD today. I wonder which is the rule, and which is the exception? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder which is the rule, and which is the exception? For noobs, try asking, 'do I trust this guy enough to pay $1700 to find out?'.

Daetrin Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 That's the problem for n00bs. When I started I had no idea what the Legion was or who was what or anything. I just checked his feedback score and took a deep breath. How else do you move forward? Things are much better now, but looking at threads from non-501st it seems to not be uncommon either.

TD1009 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I know, I wanted that GF set, great price too in the end (and a laser sniper bid too), I was up refreshing waiting for it to sky rocket and it never. Wish I could have spent the money. In other news the FX with RT-Mod helm Sandtrooper I put up for sale here went for a crazy load of cash on eBay, hope the Mom and Dad that bought junior a complete Sandtrooper like it! Maybe we'll see him here soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
td7603 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 a few years back i sold two sets for over 2K. but the bidding drove it that high. one was to a mom in texas who got it for her 16yo son for halloween, and even paid the 300 next day shipping as well. most other sets ive sold went for about 800 to 1200 on ebay. **** i paid 1600 for the one i currently use. still have one i got for 450 and an ANH set from hong kong for about a grand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeroroskk Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 now that ive been saving up the past yr, i now had (yes, had - past tense) about $650 to $pend to get my armor. while not quite a TE/TE2 or gino, it is a slight step up from FX, which is what i was going for. im so happy that i have some stepped up armor on the way, and by this time next yr (if not abit sooner), i should be a young blooded member of 501st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
