Merging threads. You don't need two of the same thing.

 

Do some reading. We have plenty of existing threads on it already.

 

Short story version: Okey armour, but nothing is "original" about it. It's recast ROTJ-based armour made to look like ANH. You can get far better armour for not much more money.

Every time I hear about "original Stormtrooper" and his claims that his molds are from the original molds makes me furious. A business based on lies is just not the way to go.

You should steer towards this thread:

 

http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/

 

Or another good one that isn't listed on here is MTK armor and his contact is mtk_armor@cox.net

 

Good Luck

I just got armor from RS Prop Masters. It was a little more $$$ but worth it in my opinion. Lots of buying options and really good customer support. RS did a great job sending me emails every so often keeping me in the loop of how the process was going.

 

Good luck

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think there is anything in that price range that comes fully built... Gotta work for it at that price! And then, even the Anovos kit at 350$ costs a lot more than 600$ once you add blaster, boots, electronics and tools needed!

well, im looking into AMstormtrooper armor, what do you guys think of him?

 

AM is geared toward the larger trooper.  If you aren't on the larger side you will need to be prepared to trim a lot of excess plastic. 

 

Trying to find armor that is ready to wear for $500-$600 will be very difficult.  Have you looked at this thread?

As far as price is concerned, I think that you will see that ATA, MTK, AM, CAP-W, NE, and the anovos kit will be around the same price point.  Just some kits you will have to wait a lot longer to receive then others.

I'm definitely not "on the bigger side" probably the complete opposite haha! I've realized I don't need a "out of the box" just something I don't have to paint!

Thanks. -Kurt
