Vf2112, I am also a fairly new member to the 501st forums, minus those of Spec Ops, and I don't know much about the cost or process of armor, but I was wondering, which armor maker charges upwards of $1000 for their armor? I have ordered a full, helmet included, non assembled kit for only $530 plus shipping, and I just have never seen a price that . . . enourmous.
Where did you see a suit of armor costing that much, and was it already completed? Because a fresh of the vac-former kit should not cost nearly that much, as far as I know. However, if you are trying to purchase a fully assembled kit, then the price for internal armor components, the system holding them together, and other miscellanea such as boots, bodysuit, neckseal, gloves, or blaster, plus the time and labor someone put into building it, can greatly inflate the price. Are you sure you didn't see a fully assembled kit?
