LadyInWhite[TK] Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 If it's not on our list of vetted vendors, it's probably not worth even thinking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabio Fontoura Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Worthwhile for EU troopers imo. For US it's not as Originalstormtrooper doesnt ship to US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Poor quality recast at a high cost. Any other kit recommended by FISD is a better deal. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Worthwhile for EU troopers imo. For US it's not as Originalstormtrooper doesnt ship to US. Not worthwile for any trooper. The reason why he can't ship to the US is because he LOST a long and complicated law suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As matter of fact: He won, with some restrictions ofc. Such as not allowed to sell to US Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12910683 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenschein Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Well, let's not discuss this here. It's all a matter of perspective. (Besides, I'm not a native speaker of english so I don't know any legal vocabulary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 he won the case, for the eu. he formed the armor from the film in his shop. made lot's of other helmet designs for the film also in his shop. then he had a fire, and now his armor is suddenly different. the helmets look somewhat accurate. it's a known fact that he did indeed make armor used in the film. what is troublesome is the alterations after the fact. LFL lost in their goal to shut down the production. comparisons were made from his armor to armor in the archives and it seems that details lost in his recovery from the fire. the details in the armor he now produces just don't match up to the original form he had. people dislike him because of all the bold claims he makes. which sometimes even shock me, (I'm trying to be fair and balanced, but he constantly says things that I know can't be right?) RS props is a better source to deal with in the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Loosing 249 out of some 250 claims in the case in the EU is not what I call winning. The only thing he "won" was ability to keep selling. Every other claim was lost by him. ---------------- Edited July 24, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) on the left ROTJ armor sculpted and formed at elstree studios. on the right. TE style armor sculpted to "look" anh. so if the armor on the right is AA then he recast and corrected ROTJ armor. when looking at these armors it's clear that none are ANH based again. it's RS props to the rescue!

Locitus[Admin] Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 The armour on the right is AA from the LFL archive pictures that TE took before the US court case. It shows AA recast reverse-engineered TE armour (which in turn was ROTJ "recast" made to look more like ANH). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
