tomnewdelhi Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Hey, I know the golden rule is 99.9% of ebay armour is recasts etc. Some of you are keen eagle eyed and could tell from the pics (i cant :|) Is this something i could work with for a 501st approved suit. ( i wanna build one) -------------- I already messed up buying an SDS suit a while ago. I dont wanna do it again! thanks Edited January 9, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Good thing you posted this, Paul. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is, and that is certainly the case here. There are a few ebay sellers, including rattlehead, etc., that say their armor is "501st approvable", but this one is certainly not.. I would highly suggest sticking with the vetted sellers here on FISD under the "Getting Started..." section.

Locitus[Admin] Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 No, that's just an FX armour with fancy marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomnewdelhi Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 phew! thanks for the replies. i think i shall be unwatching this one then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills[TK] Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 eBay is tempting... it is the quick and easy path, more seductive as Yoda would say. But there's a reason the vetted sellers are on this board; they make great armor. Also, the veterans here always warn against eBay armor for a reason; It just isn't worth if your goal is to have real movie-quality stormtrooper armor. Unwatch the item, the PM one of the sellers. Get on a list and start the countdown for your big brown box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie mills tk[TK] Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 What was wrong with the sds suit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 What was wrong with the sds suit ? Price, quality and honesty. Also, the battle spec helmet looks really weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sd-Stormtrooper Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Tom !!!! I was just going to buy that same exact one. . Only reason i didnt buy it its because shipping was far to expensive ... i did get s(rewed once and it was a Rubies armor ...be careful out there .. im looking to start with the ATA from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Good choice on the ATA, Omar. I have purchased armor pieces from them on several occasions, and always been more than happy with it. Plus, their customer service is awesome!!

Ilnino Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 My mate bought one of these kits last night, because he's on a budget. We'd been to the Manchester Comic Con and checked out RS Props, even though he was really impressed by them and the armour, he said he just couldn't justify spending all that money on a Stormtrooper costume. I think he will regret it, especially when I purchase my armour from RS Props 😠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
