quocle603 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 I found this link when I was browsing around on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stormtrooper-Sandtrooper-Armor-Star-Wars-Movie-Prop-VT-/270824138634?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f0e60678a#ht_3063wt_932 Not sure if the guy is legit or not. I'm not interested in buying armor from him, but he pointed people in the direction of white armor for building his armor. Just thought I would add this to the ebay list. Quote
pandatrooper[TK] Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 This seller has been discussed at length. Recast of AP and TE based parts. Quote

RogueTrooper[TK] Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 VT is a recast. Recast should be avoided. My best advice, is to look into the vendors that are at this link: http://forum.whitear...showtopic=11538 Tom Quote
senna1rossi[TK] Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 i'm a little embarrassed to say that i purchased a "recast"... because i didn't discover this awesome site at the time, but i do have to admit that VT looks really good. i'm just a wookie, so i can't speak from experience, but the details look good and "size" symmetry is great. i think it's much better than those FX brands (which have huge helmets...)! and it's made of ABS! which is much better than ps plastic.... at least me thinks. not sure which VT is made from. anyone know?

senna1rossi[TK] Posted September 29, 2011 Report Posted September 29, 2011 doh! perhaps Like Terry said above "Recast of AP and TE based parts." doh! perhaps i should learn to read. Quote
BGHUNTER Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 Im trying to work out whats the difference from VT recasting and another member here who recasts from the same helmet lines, \ What makes it ok for one and not the other,,(honestly)? Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 I think staff makes the call based on who has the "rights" to sell armour based on what deal they made with TE or someone else who made the moulds. It's all very blurry. To be a vetted seller on these boards you need to make it clear where your moulds come from, who OK'ed it and have several happy buyers before you can be recommended by the forum as a "trusted seller" who can sell openly on the boards. Or something like that. Quote
geordietrooper Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 the whole who can make armour thing is so effed up its crazy Quote
