iron ram Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm thinking about getting a full set of used armor And I mean everything helmet to boots/ gun Cost $200 said he paid $600 Any advice ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 If thats a legit price, the costume is probably very beat up. It also sounds a little too good to be true. Have you seen photos of the armor and do you trust the seller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandtrooper Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Don't buy it if it's FX armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodman Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 $200? for another $180 you can get a brand new ATA HIPS kit. Sounds fishy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron ram Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 It's in my local area so I can go over and see it in person before I buy Here is the only pic I have of it. I'm waiting for more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grit Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I would say no but keep posting the piks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Locitus Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 What's up with that helmet? It looks like crap. Also, why is he wearing ESB handguards to a ANH helmet? I'd be careful about this purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonator Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 is that rubies helmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananoPower22 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Sorry to say, but it's trap. It's a Rubies armor.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That pic is definetely Rubies armor. No good. Way too many mods necessary to get it even 501st approved. Judging by your personal pic of you Ed wearing your EFX lid, you will never fit into this anyway. Rubies armor runs in sizes M, L and XL.

Quebectrooper Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 offer him $50 and sell it $400 on ebay (but do mention its rubies) then buy a nice ATA kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iron ram Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Well I'm impressed You all nailed it it was rubies armor pretty good for a crappy photo Here's his new add This costume is the full gear + boots & toy gun; Am an avid Star Wars fan, always wanted to have such a bad *** costume as this one but unfortunately just don't have room for it anymore. Details: The Storm trooper costume has 13 pieces- -A black jumpsuit to serve as the undergarment (has elastic straps and WIDE Velcro) -the head piece (Is made of fiber glass and is nicely padded) -two shoulder pieces -two, three-part arm pieces -pair of gloves -2 chest armor pieces-for front and back -two two-part leg pieces -a pair of white,rubber boots- which did not originally come with the costume (Size 11) -a plastic gun-for accessory The black jumpsuit measures in 64in long, 19 wide... it is a one size fits all.. has been worn by several different sizes.. someone that is at 5'6 in height and skinny to 6'0 and about 300 pounds. The black jump suit is stretchy and the suit, especially chest piece is made to mold to different body types so overall pretty versatile. The costume was bought from Rubies costume company..from a location in FL. Was bought for $600! Not sure what a majority of the pieces are made out of but I do know that the headpiece is fiberglass.

BananoPower22 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 He makes it sound good, but it's definitely not worth it. Rubies is just a waste of money. Money that can be used for a better kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
