nick.black Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 It's awful. I think its cheap flimsy plastic too. Very lacking in details for such a high price too. You can get a MRCE for that price if you trawl Ebay. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stormtrooper-Armor-Star-Wars-New-Hope-501st-/110761287474?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item19c9e31f32 maybe look into something like this. the armor is ABS so its going to withstand a little more of a beating. It comes from the same batch so you wont have to worry about piecing a kit together and it not matching. price is pretty good....then just get yourself a helmet.

TK4702 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Honestly, I would just avoid ebay altogether and buy the parts from a maker on here. ATA (affordable Trooper Armor) would be a good choice. Terrell's the man! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick.black Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 im going to build up my armor get it bit by bit To be perfectly honest with you Dan. Instead of building your armour up bit by bit, I would suggest building your finances up bit by bit and then getting a whole set when you are ready to do so, that way it is all the same and you can use the same techniques to build it. Patience is a virtue on something like this. I am nearly 3 years into researching joining the 501st and I am still not finished with my armour that I got this summer.

And not only that you will have to pay loads on P&P with every shipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
