Any chance you would have more MRCE ears, John? I just screwed mine up... was trimming them... had a phone call...and then started trimming THE WRONG SIDE! So I just ruined my MRCE ears. Thanks for any leads!

The AP and TE2 buckets are great as well, not to mention the rest of the armor! At the same time, I was able to pick up my MRCE off ebay for $91 USD, and local pickup at that! So the extra money now goes into new parts and supplies for the rebuild.

For a licensed product meant as a 'low end' collectors item, it's pretty well made; it's made from a scan of an authentic helmet (although 'idealized', symmetrical, which I like), and compared to the FX bucket, well: ----------- Yeah, I think it's worth it! (pic is of a pre-mod helmet) ps. LOL, I think I just accidently selected NO in the poll, meant YES, oops

Curious if you've modded your MR CE. I've been gathering parts for mine, and plan to completely dissasemble and rebuild/repaint, as others have. I'm guessing that whatever adhesives they used to build the CE were not intended for constant trooping, and just display or occasional wear. If that's the case, you may need to reinforce the bucket.

It means something to me

Well, with help from my good friend Justin, I now have a cloth belt! I've posted up pics in the gallery: TK-471 'ripstop' cotton belt Oh, and a new canister setup too, using the bankers clips!

I think mine's FX, I've had it for, oh... 6 years?

Hello, TK-471 reporting (first post). I've been in the 501st for about 6 years, and I have a pair of Mark Cheng Stormtrooper boots. They are very nice, but they were always a bit small, sort of tight (I tried to stretch them once). With the big parade march coming up, I was considering just getting a new pair, and I've searched Caboots, and eBay, and before I try to buy from those sources, does anyone have a recommendation? I can survive the in boots I have now, but it would probably be better on my feet to upgrade. Thank you! -Pete, Stormtrooper TK-471 Michigan Squad Midwest Garrison
