Smitty Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 OMG I cant believe nobody bid on this!!! Oh wait one guy did....*Icky Shuffle*.....Me! Matt I'm getting one of your helmets! The screen accurate signed Follano, don't know the guy but mighty fine work you have there sir! This thing sat on Ebay for 2 weeks and nobody bid on it...I couldnt stand it anymore. I had to buy it. I see mucho sanding...and mucho priming...and why am I saying mucho? and some Rustoleum Gloss white Enamel (Mike Harrison for President) Probably all new strapping. solemn oath "this will not get in the way of my blaster building." Probably strip the helmet down and redo the ESB...get some hand plates...probably get a little more expensive on the voice electronics...but not much more. Maybe go wireless....Awww man, now I need 2 blasters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTrooper Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 WOW what a steal. You lucked out my friend. :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I know! I am so stoked about this! Even comes with boots near my size. I've already dropped my friend in Atlanta a myspace message begging her to let me throw an armor party at her place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amish Trooper Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I typed in my bid but decided to not confirm it...I just have so many other projects like my hot rod and I still have to finish my armor. Great deal bud enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Paypal sent! Now the waiting game commences. This is going to go with my current TE2 Helmet. Im not sure about the TE that comes with the armor. My first inclination is to sell it to replenish my paypal account. I wiped it clean in the process of ordering this. But then again, Its an ESB helmet signed by Matt. Its hard to just up and sell something that nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-4510[TK] Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I would sell the helmet. Its a nice helmet, but since you already have one.... You could easily recoup your losses in the armor. That helmets gotta be worth quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 I would sell the helmet unless you are planning to do an ESB trooper down the line, if that is the case I would keep it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Well I was thinking that if I kept the helmet, get some ESB hand plates and an additional right handed belt assembly, I could go ESB on Wednesday thru Friday and ANH from Saturday to Tuesday.

ThayNerd[TK] Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Well I was thinking that if I kept the helmet, get some ESB hand plates and an additional right handed belt assembly, I could go ESB on Wednesday thru Friday and ANH from Saturday to Tuesday. There's an idea! I haven't figured out what my next trooper will be. Either ESB or ANH Sandtrooper. I'm leaning towards an ESB I have an extra helmet right now and all I would have to do is some repainting, get another holster and get new hand plates.

firebladejedi[TK] Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Well done on your fine purchase.. Well I was thinking that if I kept the helmet, get some ESB hand plates and an additional right handed belt assembly, I could go ESB on Wednesday thru Friday and ANH from Saturday to Tuesday. and that sounds like a good plan ^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 NICE! im glad someone deserving got it! I saw that also, but just didnt have enough cash to grab it. If you sell the helmet i may be interested. Wouldnt be hard to convert to an ANH right? Congrats dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krkconsult[TK] Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Smitty nice catch.. Hope to see it soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Kris, you think you could round up some local boys to show up for an armor party? I was thinking like one of those big silver things full of beer, and a leaning Tower of Pizza. My hostess friend also has "Rock Band" for PS3.

darklordtripple9 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Keep the helmet man! It would be a shame tp break up the signed armor and helmet just to regain some $. Maybe in time it will be worth a hole lot more than you payed no! Anyway I hope you'll post some nicer pic when you received it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Well it really wouldn't be considered splitting them up because the armor is GF and the bucket is TE so they don't really "match". My TE2 is also signed so it wouldnt be much different than sporting the TE. I'm waiting anxiously for its arrival. Should be here today or tomorrow, it was mailed out from Missouri on Monday. Yesterday I saw a UPS truck overturned in the middle of the highway in my town and I was like, thank goodness I wasnt expecting my armor yesterday. My friend Chris was the UPS driver and I saw him standing beside the overturned truck talking to the cops. I hope he delivers my armor so I can rib him about flipping his truck. One thing I havent seen in the pics from the auction is the thermal detonator so it looks like I'll need to procure one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklordtripple9 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Maybe the previous owner forgot to put it in the auction picture. I hope for you its included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thats the only thing that I noticed was not in the pictures. For the price tho, I really cant complain. Worst case scenario I get one from AP, TE2, or TM, either way I win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Make sure to post up some pics when you get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Make sure to post up some pics when you get it! Oh fear not, I was kinda half expecting it to arrive today but its not looking so good. Prolly be in tomorrow and there will be pics-a-plenty.
