I received my BBB 6/10/23. It's a WTF suit.
I already have my helmet, E11, and boots from my previous suit. I started trimming the forearms yesterday.

Good idea. Right now, its stored away in a storage unit. Ill have to find it, pull it out, and take some pics. IM not sure pics will really show the difference in texture (that's another thing about the suit... It has a 'coarse' texture in comparison to my Walt's suit...

I realize this is a bit late, but I was bitten by an ebay seller. Apparently he has a reputation on here. He says he's a 501st member, but the armor I got reminded me of those cheap kids Halloween masks (MAYBE twice as thick, but not by much)... It was a cheap price but I learned a lesson from it... IM going to use it on a mannequin one day... Ild be afraid to wear it...

Thank you! Glad to finally make it this far. I'm worried that I'm making a mistake somewhere...

Well, Im not sure if its me, but I cont seem to post on the "Sound Off" topic (it may be my phone, but I can post here)... I was recently approved (ANH stunt TK) in the middle of moving from WV (Garrison Corellia) to SC (Carolina Garrison). Been working on my build for over 3 years off and on... Thanks to James Welsh (WVtrooper) for his patience and encouragement!

And I can vouche that there are people on ebay claim to be members of the 501st... I got armor from one when I first started (maker of things). It was not very good quality and I've seen others warning about buying from him.
I was also one of the many victims of one of the "approved venders" who also has (or had) official licencing. Now this vender has multiple lawsuits because they make promises but don't deliver (literally for years)... Research the vendor!
-
As I recall, he claims to be using one of the original ANH suits from the movie (unsure how true it is). The armor itself was kinda thin and really 'rough'... Reminded me of those cheap kids masks... Only like double or triple the thickness. I was told I might get away with making it into a Sandy. The guy also claims to be a member of the 501st...

My initial suit was from this guy... My Garrison wanted nothing to do with this guys work. I messaged him (wasn't even asking for a refund) and he was a jerk... Now I spread the word about this guy!! I still haven't touched the suit, but am thinking of putting it on a mannequin.

Yes... We've established the overall length of the thermal detonator. We are talking about the thermal detonator CLIPS and how much length the straight part of the clips are before the bend. Thanks though.
-
I'm not sure there is a length. I'm hoping to be finishing up and getting my approval pics taken soon (did my pre approval, so I assume mine wasn't an issue since that wasn't an issue). Mine are 90mm before the bend (part going behind the belt). I'm still learning a lot myself every time I turn around, so take it for what it is worth...
-
I'm interested, too, since I bought one. My suit is stunt though (hopefully almost ready for approval)...

I was under the impression months ago (before this post started- surprised it hasn't been mentioned) that Hyperfirm shut down...

I personally will never buy Anovos', especially pre-orders due to a bad experience (ignored my emails and were months past due on my order. It took about 3 months instead of the supposed 10 days for my refund) and reading about so many others with complaints. I just pre-ordered a kids TK kit from Walt's (they have awesome customer service!!). The price was around 3/4 the price I paid from my adult kit. But that's just the hard shell... A TIE pilot has a lot less hard shell... Send them a message on Facebook for prices. They usually get back with you the next day at the latest (usually minutes)

This is what I bought- $8 at Joanns:

One pack like this that had the tools, and two packs without the tool. I'm still building, but they haven't given me any trouble. (I'm using 2" chunks of black nylon webbing instead of ABS plates, FWIW.)
Amazon has them too.
The link is gone. Went to Joannes today but they dont have a lot people have listed in the past. Its new/different stuff now.

I'm glad to see Maker of Things on the list... His stuff is thin and cheaply made... He claims to be a 501st member and his stuff is acceptable for membership... Like I said, thin and cheaply made
