Guest jedislayer5000 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 i am brand new to costuming and am wanting to purchase a full set of stormtrooper armor without having to pay 1600 dollars or something like that for it since i am 18 and currently unemployed i dont have alot of money lol... i came across this set on ebay, it must be assembled by the person who buys it and while i have no experience in this kind of thing my dad is a carpenter so i know he can help with sanding or painting and help me out with assembling it, i live in Victoria, BC Canada. Heres the armor and also i will be purchasing a helmet separatley from efx, their 30th anniversary stormtrooper helmet, OR if i can find one, a master replicas ANH "stunt" helmet, which i know are hard to come by but i would rather that than the empire one. Any help is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 maker of things That maker of "things" has already been discussed numerous times on this forum. Please take a look around at the previous posts. Take your time to learn about the different armor makers. This hobby by all means is not one to rush into. As much we'd love to have you join our ranks we want you to purchase a quality set of armor. The search buttons works, I swear by it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hi Brandon. Sorry to sidetrack, but if you're interested in joining the 501st Legion, please make sure to register on your local garrison. You are in Victoria, which means you would be a member of the same squad I am in, the Outer Rim Squad within the Badlands garrison. You will probably meet a few fellow local members on the Island there. They just recently held an event at a charity toy show / food drive, and they are also planning to be attending Sidney Sparkles parade. Again, you should sign up on your local garrison forum for more info. Anyways, welcome aboard! Make sure to read those getting started links above, and hopefully you can troop in Vancouver some day.
