Can anyone verify this is an AP kit?

[Minuteman]

The helmets looks exactly like an AP.

You can't be any worse off buying that than the poor saps who actually are bidding on this thing

That is an auction for only an FX kit...  You do not get anything with it besides the plastic parts and what they call "strapping".  Those poor poor people.

Don't know if anyone's read the description it say Approved by the 501st and TK-51110, Which is not true but they are using the TK ID of a fallen member to sell there rubbish.

haha yeah tekket, if it stays at a reasonable price i'm gonna pick it up and convert it to a sandy :] I don't want to do it to my rotj armour so this just might work.

Seems this person re-uses the same description, everytime with the same TKID of her... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Star-Wars-Stormtrooper-FX-M-Movie-Accurate-Costume-Prop-Armor-501st-Legion-/161049052076?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item257f4583ac

 

quite tasteless imho... I'm wondering if it should be reported to eBay, and if they would actually do something about it..

 

 

 

edit: oh, and yes, it does seem to be an AP if I compare it to some of the things in my armor.. one thing that does amaze me, though, is how little black I see around his knees and arms compared to me in my own AP while I'm an inch shorter than him..

There's a thread somewhere on here about this armour. I'm pretty sure it's her husband/partner that is selling this armour in her memory or something like that

 

edit: just saw that this one is actually based in aus.... perhaps an australian distributer?

I agree guys using a fallen Troopers ID is a callous act and should be reported

 

However this Thread is getting a little off subject it was about the AP Armor that i posted not the FX posted by Austin

 

I just don't want people to think I was posting up that FX armor

 

Cheers Steve 

[Nicholls]

haha i'm happy for everyone to be distracted by the FX armor for another 6 hours :]

I just alerted Andy about this, as TK-51110 was his wife who passed. He told me to let you all know that he has nothing to do with it, and that he was alerting eBay to have it taken down.
