Start trooping and become an active 501st member again and you will get the privileges that comes with that membership. You should have notified staff when you went into reserve instead of quietly having access to parts you shouldn't have.
I have seen it too, but the post you quoted is almost a year old and as far as I know was true at the time. I suggest you ask him if he is willing to sell you a kit if you want one.

A treasure trove of images of the original suit that RS Props are in possession of. Full credits go to Voice In The Crowd for allowing us to share his pictures, and to RS Props for allowing him to take the pictures.
