i think i'm one of the lucky ones, never really had anything said to me, my father laughed and said i was insane when the armour arrived, but i know he was joking, mainly as he'd just spent about 5 grand on two antique samurai helmets.
most people just want to know what i'm going to do with it, and look a bit shocked when i tell them its going to spend most of its time in the corner of the room gathering dust.
they actually think i should wear it, and a lot of people i work with want me to wear it to work so they can see it.
i don't think it would bother me if people thought i was a freak, each to there own.
the only person who really has a problem with it is my girlfriend, and with her i think its more the money aspect, we're meant to be moving intogether soon and i think she's worried that i'll just spend all my money on star wars instead of rent and bills.
