Thanks everyone for the advice. Contacted ATA and have a set on order. Now I will go back to hanging out with my Rebel friends (did I mention I am a Jedi in the Rebel Legion? Oops!), but you Imperials have been very helpful. This is a great group! Maybe I should consider coming over to the darkside too. You will be seeing hubby here once he starts building after Christmas. Thanks, Laurie

I have been reading lots of information on these forums and have absolutely learned tons over the last few weeks. I am trying to buy armor for my husband. He is 5'10" and about 175 pounds so should be the perfect size to be a stormtrooper. I have narrowed my choices down to AM or ATA, but can't decide from there. I really like AP too, but don't think I can justify the extra cost. I know the AM tends to run bigger and I will want to get a helmet from somewhere else rather than the AFX helmet that comes with it. The ATA I should be able to use the helmet that comes with it and I think it will probably fit better without so many adjustments needed. I guess my only real reservation with the ATA is the HIPS material. I am concerned about how durable it will be and whether it will look as good as the ABS. I would welcome advice from anyone with either type of armor. Thank you!
