Auction on Ebay (FX Armor)

[athelu]

New to the stormtrooper thing and looking to get a suit of armor. Not sure what all the different variants are, or acronyms (I believe they reference the manufacturer). Found this set and wondering if it is legit:

I, and I think most people here, would advise against anything eBay. Even if it is legit, you can get a much better looking suit than FX. Plus, if you get it from a vetted maker you can assemble it yourself and make it fit your frame A LOT better.

Also, most people who do order a supposedly "501st approved" recast FX suit on Ebay: a. don't even get the suit shown on screen, and b. regret it when they stand next to someone in a more modern/accurate suit.

wish I joined the forum before I made my purchase.  Lots of helpful information and most of all helpful members as well.
