So I haven't been on since I joined up (hello real life) been going through a divorce and just now finally having time and the money to purchase a helmet and armor and start my new hobby. I'm not sold yet on the TFA EP7 helmets and now after reading someone post that they look like a duck, its now stuck in my head lol.
Back now to the original TK ANH Stormtrooper :-) Question, for the senior troopers in here. I was quoted last year from RS for a fully completed set was almost $2,200 but when I look on their site now its down to $1,576 converted to US dollars which includes the E-11 blaster and boots and all necessary accessories. Well, that was all before I found out a friend of a friend is a 501st troop leader and can help me build a kit and I just found out about the ANOVOS Stormtrooper kit for $350...again I say $350! Even if I try to find a way to compare apples to apples with the ES kit with unfinished helmet its $815! no accessories. I think I'm answering my own question as I'm typing lol. I could buy two ANOVOS kits for under the price of one ES kit. I guess it all comes down to quality. Which is yet to be seen from ANOVOS. Choices, choices. any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
