TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) PM sent TK work is my real life job around here... so calling me about this stuff is a daily thing. I work on stormtrooper stuff every single day of my life. so calling me will help me.. and you at the same time. I'm unbiased... and pretty much a go to guy... but there's lots of other people who are the same way around here... we're not like other 501 detachments... we love to help on a daily basis.

PiettLives[TK] Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hey Albert, I can't speak about the other vendors you listed but I love my ATA kit. I'm very close to your size (5'8-175lbs) and my armor fits great. The only issue I had was the looooong wait time. Of course I got on the list before C6 and I'm sure he was backlogged. Best thing I can say is do what you're doing... ask,ask,ask! I did lots of research before I made any choices and as Vern said, everyone here is very helpful.

albisancho Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Honestly looking at the RS kit... and seeing that it comes with all the straps needed is making me feel pretty good. 3 week wait isn't bad.. about 900 in total for all the parts and shipping that I want... I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew2D2[TK] Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hey Albert, where about in Texas? I'm in San Antonio and am purchasing an RT-Mod kit. Rob informed me I was up on his wait list so should be getting it in 4-6 weeks! I'm a newbie too and the folks here have been such a great help at helping us avoid some of the trappings that folks get into trying to get their hands on an armor set. Without them I would have blown $1500 on a garbage suit I saw that I thought was legit. Good luck to you sir!

Cantina Security[501st] Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 RS is pretty nice, they are working on a killer Boba Fett right now, but should be able to accommodate . Check out Troopermaster also, he provides excellent products as well. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew2D2[TK] Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm using a TK build as a starter with hopes of progression to a Fett build. You say RS is working on one as we speak?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
