RogueTrooper[TK] Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Hey, the one on ebay must be version 2, because I found the V1 of this helmet on youtube. Take a look: Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 The auction does have "or best offer" option on it. Ask them to give to you for $5.00 and make them pay for shipping. Not a bad idea, I just may do that. It would make a great gag gift, especially for the FX helmet holdouts. Quote
bluehickey Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 If you look at the past items the seller has sold its a very wide range of items. Everything from African American Barbi dolls, to skiis, to chair massagers. This "helmet" is surely just something that he stumbled upon and decided to put up for sale. I'm betting that he searched "stormtrooper helmet" on Ebay and saw the average price they were being sold for and gave it that same price. Quote
Sentry02[501st] Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Drill three holes in the top and use it with one of his other auctions. You could have literally minutes of fun with it: Bowling Pins Brad EDIT: Is that thing made out of Bondo? Edited January 20, 2011 by Sentry02 Quote
Phantom[TK] Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I offered them $2 for the helmet (just to see), but they counteroffer $172. Edited January 20, 2011 by Phantom Quote
bluehickey Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 We should have more people here keep making offers, but nothing over $5.00 to send a message to the seller what the true value of this piece of crap is. Quote
Scootch[TK] Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 That thing is Rad!!! I would take it out to the range and blast it! Maybe it would catch fire and produce a lot of foul black smoke or something cool. Quote
Sonnenschein Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 We should have more people here keep making offers, but nothing over $5.00 to send a message to the seller what the true value of this piece of crap is. Done! Quote
bluehickey Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Posted January 20, 2011 Done! I just made an offer of $1.99! What was your offer? Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I don't have an ebay account, but I like your idea. Keep it up! Edited January 20, 2011 by Locitus Quote
Sonnenschein Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 I just made an offer of $1.99! What was your offer? I was generous.... 4.99! It's mine! Quote
Sonnenschein Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 I was generous.... 4.99! It's mine! I hope he doesn't charge $170 for shipping LOL Quote
Quebectrooper Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Well for $125 this one at least has light in the front . http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Stormtrooper-Helmet-/220727587023?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item336463b0cf Quote
Sonnenschein Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Actually, I'd prefer the other one before a Rubie's Edited January 20, 2011 by Sonnenschein Quote
TKRobert Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Darn, I was going to bid on it....it's brilliant. Edited January 21, 2011 by TKRobert Quote
puro Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 If it were a cake, I'd love it. Too bad it's not edible... Dennis: Anything is edible, you just have to chew a bit harder! Quote
BlueGrot Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 http://www.filthwizardry.com/2010/10/milk-jug-storm-trooper-helmet.html This one looks marginally better, and is free too! Quote
TKRobert Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 http://www.filthwizardry.com/2010/10/milk-jug-storm-trooper-helmet.html This one looks marginally better, and is free too! Oooh, a milkjug trooper. Hey, at least the material is accurate. side note: I am a little disturbed that this thread has more interest than my build thread Quote
bluehickey Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Posted January 21, 2011 http://www.filthwizardry.com/2010/10/milk-jug-storm-trooper-helmet.html This one looks marginally better, and is free too! It's free, but you get what you pay for! I loved this WIP photo: Hello ELEPHANT MAN! Quote
tkrestonva[TK] Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I just made an offer of $0.99. We'll see what the counteroffer is. This is going to make a great gag gift for a certain FX holdout in my garrison. Quote

bluehickey Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Posted January 24, 2011 If anyone wants something just as ugly, but smaller and cheaper, then grab this incense holder here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-Storm-Trooper-Incense-Holder-Helmet-/260703173536?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb31ebba0#ht_1705wt_1141 Quote
Matt_555 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 This "THING" is horrible. My 2 year old could come up with something better with playdoh Someone should ask the seller question if this could warrent 501st approval Quote
bluehickey Posted January 29, 2011 Author Report Posted January 29, 2011 Does this listing even have an end date? I can't see one (not that I'm worried that it's going to sell). I'm interested to see if they relist it again at a much lower price! Quote
Yagi Sensei Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 If it were a cake, I'd love it. Too bad it's not edible... My wife made a cake. The cake looked much better. Quote
