  1. This armor was probably 3D printed, so it won't look exactly like the stuff made from ANH.  It also, much like TFA armor, was made with the ability to move in mind.  It will allow the stormtroopers to actually look and move like soldiers (they used British Army soldiers as the stormtrooper extras).  This is a good thing as we can see stormtroopers actually looking and moving how they should as opposed to the quasi hunched over and hurried walk they had to do in the original trilogy.  Also, much like the military of today, armor would be constantly updated by the Imperial Military Industrial Complex, and then fielded in waves to different units.  So you would have new armor to units some units, and older versions to other units.  Nothing wrong with this and it makes sense.  Getting wrapped around the edges because the helmet isn't "domed enought" or there are plastic belts instead of canvas is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.  Rogue One will usher in a new love of TKs with new generations of fans.  That is what we should be excited about, not that it all doesn't look like RS kits!

  2. Well, the biggest obsticle turned out to be my wife, so I'll be jumping on the $450 ANOVOS kit to make a TK.  I think the solid helmet will keep me from being able to make a "move along" TD, so I'll save up some bonus money from work and get the RS TD kit next year.  I'll be able to get some practice building with the ANOVOS that way :-)

  3. Hello fellow lovers of the Empire.  Recently moved out to Tracy, Ca (boarder town of the Central Valley and the Bay) and decided to pull the trigger on a TK instead of a TD.  As much as I love Sandtroopers, I feel like if you are going to do this, you've gotta have a TK to start with.  I'm contemplating getting the ANOVOS kit, or an RS kit.  Leaning towards ANOVOS because it's the cheaper choice at this point.  Any opions on the matter will be appreciated.  Either way it will be a good time.
