Fabio Fontoura Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Not even close to an expert here but as a "newb" I can say 100% sure that the boots are not Edit: After opening the link. I'm pretty sure you're heading for a real mess if you're thinking about this. Helmet decals are "jumping" off, everything looks so weird mate. Avoid it imo. Wait for wiser words from the people that know alot better than me. Edited August 5, 2013 by Fábio Fontoura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/For the exception of the boots, this armor will get you in the door, but with more research, you will find that you WILL be dumping the armor for something better. Thumb through the link I sent you. There you will find the list of the best armor dealers available here. This is an investment. Take your time and do your research before jumping to a decision. Buying armor that is already put together may seem convenient, but it comes with risks. You have no idea if it will fit you, you don't know the person who put it together and if they knew what they were doing, we usually tell anyone to avoid EBAY when it comes to armor purchases. That seller is a perfect example of why....it is FX armor which is LIGHTYEARS away form "movie accurate" as he claims. Trooperbay has been a seller of fine products here on FISD for years. He comes highly recommended. Edited August 5, 2013 by gazmosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Master Builder Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Thank You! I wasnt going to buy it anyways, cause I knew the helmet is FX. All these stupid people bid on nonaccurate crap all the time. I was looking into Trooper Bay, is authentic Props good? Ive been researching armor for the past 5 months. Trying to stay in the US, due to shipping costs. And one more thing will this kit be good? ------------- Edited July 25, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebrabuse Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have AP build and it's great. I like RS and TM even more. I would avoid the kit you posted like the plague. Even if you get in the door you'll probably want to upgrade shortly after and as you learn more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Master Builder Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Which one out of those 3 will be the best to buy as in price, cause TM I believe has a 9 month waiting list! what if I got that kit on ebay and then upgraded the helmet with ATA?

bjsavage7[TK] Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I really suggest you don't buy that kit off eBay. It looks terrible, even with a new bucket. When you try to join a garrison with that, they might pass you, but will probably think "why didn't you check FSID first?". I recommend you go with an ATA or AP and just accept with the longer wait. You'll be happy you did in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Master Builder Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well Whats better, Snag that suit of ebay and get a AP Helmet or just order a untrimmed helmet and armor kit from AP? Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtrev503 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Ebay = bad. Buy nothing relate to your stormtrooper costume from there. Go to the homepage of this forum, find the forum marked "getting started- read this first" make sure you read that first... before getting started.

A Master Builder Posted August 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Well Guys, Ive made my decision. Im ordering the AP Helmet and armor kit tonight Should I get trimmed or untrimmed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsavage7[TK] Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Good choice. If you have the extra $, go for trimmed. It'd be less work for you, BUT, remember, it might possibly add a bit more wait time to your order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK Keith[TK] Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Glad you stayed away from ebay.... a longer wait to get a good kit is well worth it. Good luck with your build, and be sure to do plenty of research while you are waiting for your armor to arrive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
