athelu Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 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: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-Stormtrooper-FX-Armor-/300947891906?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4611e466c2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swmand4 Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 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.

Locitus[Admin] Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Read this and don't waste your money on FX. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/index.php?/topic/11538-The-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyInWhite[TK] Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 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.
