same here, it looks like i'm wearing shorts or something...lol!!!!!

lol, thanks everyone, as always this forum helps me out when i have questions about armor etc.!!!! well, i'll keep everyone updated when i actually have money in hand to buy a new helmet!!!!! dang Paypal!!!!

thanks nate, i appreciate your opinion, well i haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet, so will see...i really don't support recasting either, and i know even considering this is going against my beliefs, but like you said, money is tight for me right now, so we will see what happens! I actually already have an MRCE so i know the quality of it, so i'll keep everyone updated! money is tight because of economics, and i'm an avid collector!!!!!!! between collecting and this hobby, i'm out a lot of cash!

i have those same exact ones!!!!!

thanks everyone for your opinions....

ahhh...lol...ok, well how can i contact him???

good point man, well yeah, i would just take the brow off then repaint it all black! good idea! and whereabouts on where i could get a replacement brow like the one pictured? not like the MRCE brow?

sorry what's a blem, lol, i'm still kinda new here?

lol...i thought so too...any other opinions, just wanted some other opinions before i pull the trigger on either!!!!

well here are the pictures...looks good as i know it should because it's been recasted off the TE, so it better look good!!!!! Any thoughts, keep in mind that i want to pretty much take it apart, start from scratch and paint in gloss black for my shadow kit!!!!! any other opinions????

everyone i'm not trying to cause uproar, i'm not trying to give credit towards recasters or anything because i know it's not good for this hobby and it's looked down upon, i just don't think it's smart to pay however much a TE2 or AP helmet costs, paint it black, then buy another one, when i get my white armor...i don't have that much money. i know some people do, and money is not an option but for me, it is! I'm not trying to bash anyone or trying to stick up for recasters because that is not the case, in fact recasting wasn't mentioned in my original post, i just wanted the experts' advice on what a meatstock helmet even was, and if $80 shipped is a good deal. I guess if it's not because it's causing this much trouble i'll just stick to getting an MRCE. so please don't mix up my words and think i'm totally supportive of getting a recasted helmet, i know the original makers of helmets are much better (AP, TM, TE/TE2, etc.) but i just wanted a cheap and better looking replacement for my FX helmet. That's all! i apologize if i sounded rude so, as this was not intentional, but once again i just wanted to know the history and background of the Meatstock, so let me rephrase my question: If you only had $100 and you could only choose between the TWO, what would it be, a MEATSTOCK RECASTED helmet, or an MR CE helmet???? thanks!!!!

wow, i just want a decent looking helmet to paint to replace my FX helmet, why am i going to spend over $200 on a nice helmet just to paint it all black? this is for my black kit, when i upgrade to white armor, i'm going to want to get a great kit/great helmet, so i don't see what the problem is if i get a meatstock helmet from a guy who is selling one? i didn't know this would spark conflict or whatever, but i just wanted to see if this was a good deal/good helmet! And i didn't know this was English grammar class, at least i'm not using CAPS to shout right? So, like i said, is this a good deal? Obviously the helmet must not be that good for the low price! Anyone? I'm not trying to sound rude or harsh, i just wanted some detail on this helmet for the price.

well to be honest, i'd be getting the helmet for around $80 shipped, and on top of that, i want to paint for my shadow kit TX!!!!! When i upgrade to white armor, i will def. get the better kits like AP or TE2!!!!! So is it still a good deal, or should i just go MR CE??? i'm not liking the FX shadow helmet or just plain FX helmet period!!!!!

i have a chance of getting one, is it because they are rare, or no one wants one?????? what would be a good price????? thanks!!!!!

Hey Alex, could you PM me the details too???? thanks man!!!!!

Hi, i was wondering if anyone knew the origin of the meatstock sandtrooper helmet????? is it good, nice and sturdy????? is it better than the MRCE????? thanks!!!!

hey David, well i have both the Shadow FX lid and MR Shadow LE, i love the LE, personally for me, it holds too much value and sentimental value to troop in!!!!! i consider it an impressive collectible!!!!! i would suggest modding the MR CE helmet, that's actually what i plan to do!!!!!! any questions you have feel free to ask me, as i;m just completing my armor myself!!!! good luck man!!!!!

hey David, i have an FX shadow kit too, i actually want to convert an MR CE to TX too...i'm on the hunt for another one to do this, what you need is mirrored lenses...if anyone can help me find some mirrored lenses that would be awesome since the Special Ops detachment is VERY VERY boring and no one is ever on there!!!!!!

i'm actually looking for another one to make into a TX stealth helmet!!!!!!! i think it'll look sweet if done right!!!!!

some really great stories here guys, great tips as i 'm trying to lose weight myself!!!!! thanks for all your stories as they are very inspiring and motivating!!!!! just goes to tell you that people can really go above and beyond what's expected from their lifestyles!!!!!! Good job Bernard!!!!

i don't see any pics...

thanks a lot....just wanted to make sure....is there any possible pic or screen shot????? thanks man!!!!!!

i was wondering if rivets shown on armor, ie. side gaps are approved and 501st approved???? i thought in ANH, they had rivets on the side of their armor, isn't there a screen grab somewhere?????? thanks!!!!!

sweet build man, here's a mod for my ab piece and kidney peice which i cut apart from the back piece, looks a lot better and it fits right under my back piece like in ANH... hope it makes sense...i added the extra abs plastic that came with the kit to fill in my side gaps...

yeah cytogainer tastes bad, but it worked great for me!!!!! good luck man, lemme know how it goes!!!!!!
