Anything new on the CRL for this? Sounds like my garrison won't approve a Shoretrooper until there is a CRL.

Yeah, I'm following them on there, too. One of the guys in Garrison Tyranus has a blaster from them and likes it.

Has anyone purchased anything from 850 Armor Works before? If so, I'm interested in finding out what your experience was with them -- quality of product, customer service, etc. They're getting ready to ship Shoretrooper kits and I am considering buying one from them. Armor is ABS and helmets are resin. https://www.facebook.com/850armorworks/?fref=ts

Exactly. I sent KB Props a message on Facebook asking them about this posting.

Fast response from him. It is made by KB Props. That's a pretty good price for one of KB's kits since the quote I got on Facebook was for more than that and didn't include the helmet.

Seller is from Nevada and has a 100% rating. Any idea if this is legit or a recast? http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAR-WARS-FIRST-ORDER-STORMTROOPER-ARMOR-SET-PROP-REPLICA-/252507251191

They still have it on here: https://stormtrooperundersuit.com/first-order-stormtrooper.html However, that is the one people have said the shiny part peels off with minimal wear.

What is the Extreme Racing suit? Do you have a link to where I can find it? What is the other suit that you referred to that was used in the movie?

I've been reading the various posts here and on my local garrison's forums as well as The RPF about TK undersuits and was wondering specifically about undersuits for FOTK armor. I read that some people have gone with undersuits different from those used for an original TK and in fact the stormtrooperundersuit.com sells a different one for the FOTK. They say: However, I read some posts from people on FISD who have purchased this FOTK undersuit from them who said that the "latex fabric" (which is really an oxymoron and is more likely just cotton/lycra covered with black PVC) began peeling off after only wearing the undersuit a few times. So, here are my questions... For 501st approval, is a different TK undersuit required for a FOTK than for an original TK? For a FOTK, does it matter if the undersuit is a matte black cotton / lycra or a shiny black nylon / lycra? I'm just wondering since the FOTK has the elbow and knee rubber gaskets. Does one look better than the other? I take it that while it may look good with the FOTK on account of the gaskets, a latex rubber undersuit is not recommended since those tend to enhance whatever the surrounding temperature is so unless you are inside in a climate controlled 72 degrees, you are either going to be boiling or freezing. Has anyone tried one of these and if so am I correct? Two piece vs. one-piece with two-way zip? If one-piece, attached feet or ankle length (and if ankle, what do you do for socks)? Thanks!

What an incredible amount of information here. I just joined these forums yesterday upon the recommendation of the local 501st garrison (I ordered a First Order Stormtrooper helmet from ANOVOS at Disney's Hollywood Studios earlier this month and now I'm looking at getting armor to complete the uniform and apply for membership in the 501st.) It took me a few hours to read through all 47 pages, but all the questions I would have had were answered. Thanks to everyone for not only creating the initial page back in 2010, but keeping it up to date as well as responding to all the questions in these forums. Now off to check out the First Order Stormtroopers Resources thread!
