Sith Steve Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 I am trying to put together a stormtrooper costume and I am looking for the best armor out there (preferably without paying an arm and a leg.....just an arm lol). I have found a few sets on ebay but I dont know if they are any good. Any help you guys can give would be awesome! Thanks -STeve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 hello steve... money is a problem in this hobby. we don't support low cost costumes in the 501st legion. if your goal is to represent the 501st and participate in an advanced community of costumers then you've come to the right place. there are lot's of factors to consider. please look at this forum thread for more informaiton http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Steve Posted March 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Oh I am well aware how much this hobby costs...I have spent probably thousands on multiple versions of my Pre-armor vader and my fett. The wife is not as willing to drop the money I am so I need to stick to the inexpensive side on good if you catch my drift . The thread link was very helpful thank you so much.

LadyInWhite[TK] Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 Well now, everyone defines "expensive" in their own way. Welcome, Steve. If you haven't already, introduce yourself in the new recruit forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 patience is also a factor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 And just in case you haven't read the above, stay away from ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonitekid Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 In addition to staying away from ebay I would also strongly advise against purchasing from stormtroopershop/Jedirobe on line. The quality of their product is far from the best, is vastly overpriced ( but advertised as being cheap) and is a mixture of recast parts of other makers.

bjsavage7[TK] Posted March 2, 2013 Report Share Posted March 2, 2013 All good advise. Just take your time & ask as many questions as you need to before droping money on armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
