Any thoughts on this armor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) ATA does black. stay away from the bay! it looks FX recast. Edited February 3, 2013 by TK Bondservnt 2392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svache[TK] Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I know but this guy bought this before he told us about his existence, so he already has it.. I couldn't help him with that part anymore unfortunately. I'm glad he found Kevin for his clone, though. But this, yeah, kind of wondering what it is and what you guys think of it. I don't want to give him high hopes if it's nothing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 best to ask over at the spec ops. http://forum.501stspecopsdet.net/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dday[501st] Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 The biggest problem I see, which is indicative of these FX recasts is the belt, it is cut to short on the ends, so the actual button covers on the edge are cut in half. Also, the helmet, if it is the FX is bad news and looks horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Trooper[TK] Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yes the Spec Ops have great info over there if you want Black armor there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyStormtrooper[501st] Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 If you're gonna buy black armor on Ebay get it from mypropcollection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svache[TK] Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 For now I have let the guy know it might be better to think about getting rid of this armor and getting the ATA instead. It might not what he wants to hear but if he wants a bit of accuracy, it's probably a better bet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsavage7[TK] Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Sadly, many of us have been lured in by the 'Bay, when other options were clearly better. I don't know much about the SpecOps, but hopefully, he can make the best of his investment, maybe with a Nova Trooper or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 If it looks bad in white, it looks bad in black. Just sayin'.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svache[TK] Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yeah that's a bit what I first thought when he said ebay.. kinda feel sad for him, though, but yeah, don't want to lie to him about it either. I hope he will get rid of it and contacts ATA for a better armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyStormtrooper[501st] Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) At least build it for the experience, worst case scenario it doesn't get approved, its not like hes losing anything lol (besides the cost spent on it if another armor replaces it). I never actually seen what those ones look like assembled Edited February 5, 2013 by DizzyStormtrooper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
