Hey guys, found a good place to buy a E-11 but they don't supply them with the internal spring... I was wondering if you guys knew of a place where I could find a spring that was 3/4" diameter and around 7 inches in length? I've looked online and had a tough time trying to find the right style of spring that is in the E11's... Best I could find was this at 6" but I am not sure if stretching it the extra 1" would give it the right look. http://www.hardwareandtools.com/century-spring-c-856-3-4-inch-od-compression-spring-uecb-7905.html In all honesty, the spring itself looks a little thick and I can't seem to find one that's thinner. Any help would be appreciated.

RS props is a very reputable place for armour. I haven't had any actual dealings with them but they are a vetted seller on here and turn out really great kit based on what everyone has said here. <br><br> Their armour is definitely 501st approvable as long as it is fitted to you correctly.

Not sure why no one responded to this thread. But hey there and good to know your build went well. I'm pretty sure the boots aren't supposed to show a crease but I could be mistaken as I too am new to trooping. <br><br> You can buy good boots from imperial boots if you are really concerned with getting approved and they are relatively cheap and of good quality.

Yeah fair enough. I'll wait til I see what the majority of people say when they get their stuff to decide what I think of Anovos. <br><br> For now I see nothing wrong with them.

I have the boots! Couldn't decide what I was going to buy for my first armour so I have the First order boots and the regular TK boots lol. <br><br> I think I still will do a first order build at some point but not til it becomes more readily available from Anovos and other places in the future.

Thanks and that's good news! Just threw down my initial payment on the armour and they are starting the build. I am pretty pumped. Should have my armour in 2 months.

It's a vetted seller within Canada. Authentic Props. I didn't know they even existed but it's a 501st approved suit with Centurion level approvals as well. RS props looks awesome too but honestly it will cost me way more ordering from somewhere outside of Canada between shipping, exchange rate and duty fees. Our Canadian dollar to USD is at 0.72 cents which is horrible and in pounds it's 2.2 x our CAD. So this way I save money and get a good local, 501st approved set of armour that looks great in my opinion.

There's a "local" company that I am going with now. Thanks guys.

Oh wow, that's very surprising to hear. I honestly thought his stuff looked decent, but I guess that's why I am still new to this and asking questions so I don't make the mistake of purchasing "bad quality" armour.

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has experience with this company. Obviously they look very professional and good quality. Just want to know what you guys thought and the general turn around time for ordering armour. I'm starting to think more and more about going with an ANH TK armour and these guys look pretty good. UK based and actually make the armour sized to each individual person so helps for those who are terrible with tools or just want a ready to go set of armour. I didn't see them in the Vetted sellers unless I misread something or they go by a different name on there so was just curious. Also apparently hold the original molds and such which is always nice. Thanks guys. Link to site: http://www.originalstormtrooper.com/

It would be nice to get a few more shots from them filming to see better pictures of the stormtroopers.

I watched it twice and never noticed this. Guess I'll have to go for a third time.

It would still be 501st approvable even with that minor "mistake" right? As long as that's the case it's no big deal. Just nit-picking and perfectionism. At least for me, I'd be happy with it.

Buy her a kids one and paint it pink. Maybe then she will like it a bit more lol.

I was literally about to post this!

Well it's good to see the ball has started rolling finally. I'm sure there will be many happy customers within the next month. Can't wait to see the build tutorials and photos.

True enough. I'm in the same boat compadre.

All this work is kinda sketching me out for this being my first build. :/ I have no one around me to help me out either, or anyone that I know of at least. <br><br> I should have chosen an OG stormtrooper lol.

I bet you could cut a tinted motorcycle lens into the same shape and use it if it was really that bad. Would require some work but I saw someone mention it was how they built their helmet lens.

You could just email Anovos regarding this. I'm sure they could clarify.

More of a wait time though. :/ But that's good they are willing to help you out. At least their customer service seems decent.

That's just down right deplorable. I almost barfed when I looked at this.

Ah okay. Well if I end up going that route, I'll hit you up.

Looks pretty good overall. The addition of a working cocking handle is a nice feature too.

Thanks for the clarification lol.. And are you sure? Everyone seems to be speculating that the price will be very high for the new FOTK and completed one. Here's the video where they mention the price: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeIKvF7LzaM
