I noticed this is a old thread, but I'm still in the info gathering stage right now. What would be a good first set of 501st quality armor to start with? I'm also new to the whole costuming thing in general. I have been seeing that the common set is the AMA armor. Would this be something to start with or is there something else out there? I'm decently mechanically inclined and good at assembly.
Thanks in advance and I have registered with my local garrison Cloud City in the PNW. I'm still awaiting approval though.
