ThayNerd[TK] Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Took a look at the suit. Not really impressed with it especially with the price tag listed on that site. Thanks for sharing the information though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus[TK] Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 If the rubies Vader is an example, the TK will require modifications before being deemed Legion worthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Well it would really only work if you're doing an ROTJ, for one, which so far has been an unpopular configuration. I guess we'll have to wait and see some in person, though the helmet looks sub par. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 what i am worried about if this is real..... will LFL crack down on the dealers like AP, GINO, or TE2?? The Rubies Supreme hasn't hurt the Vader vendors at all, I doubt this will be any different especiall considering the price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladejedi[TK] Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I jast saw a similar thread on the ukg boards, they want 850 for this thing, best off spending your hard earned on a Te2 or TM inho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 though the helmet looks sub par. My thoughts exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketariniii Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Plus if it comes assembled that takes away half of the fun of bcoming a stormtrooper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvinrobot Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Plus if it comes assembled that takes away half of the fun of bcoming a stormtrooper! That was exactly my thought...honestly, is it not a rite of passage to basically construct your armor? Sure some started out trimmed while others worked from scratch but I think we all agree that we have put many hours into this hobby called costuming. If the Legion ever allowed this sort of trooper to join the ranks I seriously think they would be seen as a second class trooper, call me a snob but I don't think "trooper-in-a-box" is in the best interest of the Legion.

Guest T*E Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Here, Here! This is what happens when you cheap out and dont hire the correct people to do the initial assisting with getting it right. I was asked by this company to do the prototypes and I initially agreed to do them.. BUT when it came time to sign the contracts they changed the deal so the price for the prototypes had to include the molds as well upon delivery. A 'thanks but no thanks' is all that I said and I quietly walked away. Yes this is the tour suit.. so sad.... Oh well.. Its a nice try... people will buy it..

TK8280 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Plus if it comes assembled that takes away half of the fun of bcoming a stormtrooper! actully assembled or not, you still have to fit it to yourself, which would be close to assembling it anyways...and yeah I don't like this armor at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychotropic Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 i realy hope this is not real. is it jst me or does this make anyone else feel like all their hard work went to waste. i take pride in he work ive done so far now anybody with 850 is going to get armor. it almost looks like rubber to me too. i guess i can take comfort in the fact that this armor doesnt look that good. hopefully their will be some mods needed for entry. i definitaly dont think it is worth 850 thats fur sure but after all the moding and stuf troopers do it can be double that price (and will look three times better too). but you never know maybey it wont realy mater. i was mad when the vader came out but ill just have to wait and see if this is blessing or curse.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 This is really nothing new. For a while anyone with $$ could just buy a fully completed SDS. Also, it's not much help to anyone wanting to do anything other than an ROTJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giric thren Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 IMHO eveything would need to replace, the only thing i think would be usable would be the lower arms, and maybe the back and kidney plates... everything else would need to be scraped...... unless your going for ROTJ, which you will get a premolded upside down ab buttons. I think one of the worse things is that the trim around the armor and the seams are part of the mold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
