Oh, I meant the whole armor kit. I suppose the AP helmet is something to consider but it sounds like if I go with ATA the helmet is pretty good so I won't have to swap out. No?

I would love AP but it's out of my price range.

Thanks everyone. There are so many options and yea, the CTG has been really helpful but I wanted to get a very wide opinion since this is the only set I'm buying. I've been in the 501st....6 years now? Maybe more. lol. Had a Boushh and Mara and just always wanted the TK so now I"m finally in a position to get one. Yep, the hubby is super supportive of the hobby. haha. Good thing. ATA is sounding pretty good right now if I can get some help with painting.

I just posted my intro a couple weeks ago. I'm looking into my first set of armor. I won't be upgrading or getting another set probably ever. 4 kids and my husband is being kind enough to buy me one set for our anniversary so... this is it. I'm a female, 5'9", 125 or so if that helps. I'm considering the FX kit (yes, I know it's large but have seen it cut down to fit smaller builds) but have heard a lot of people replace the helmet that comes with it? 1. If I were to go with FX, what helmet would any of you recommend? 2. I'm also considering the ATA. How is the helmet with that one? 3. TE2 is a little out of my price range but I'm curious as to the helmet quality. I know you have to assemble it but beyond that I am not familiar with it. Any help would be appreciated. And I apologize if I put this in the wrong section.
