marian_melinte01 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hello, After much research my options of stormtrooper armor are TM and RS props, because I live in Europe and I have to pay custom fees etc.Since I have already purchased the Anovos helmet I don't want another helmet.I was told that the RS armour in PVC is very similar to the colour of the Anovos helmet, but I don't know how is the TM armour in comparission to the Anovos helmet, because he has 2 options 1,5 and 2,5 wich is acrylic caped.I don't know what to choose.PLEASE HELP ME!!

gazmosis[501st] Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 The anovos plastic is actually a bit off white color. It is slightly different than the RS plastic which is whiter. It is closer to the off white TM 1.5. The 2.5 is VERY white and shiny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtbringer Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Anovos + customs is still cheaper than the other variants, and the color fits exactly. I can´t see any intelligent reason to combine the way you mentioned - keep it all anovos, or sell the helmet and buy another complete armor with matching helmet.

marian_melinte01 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 The shiping is 150usd and the custom fee in Romania is 30% from the price of the product, and that brings the anovos armour at about the same price as the others, which are more screen acurate.

marian_melinte01 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I know, do you think the Anovos armour worths all that money? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtbringer Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Basic maths: Anovos kit without soft goods (you better buy other, cheaper and better) is 450$ Shipping is 150$ 600$ equates 550€ 550 +30% = 715€ And a build Helmet is in that price included, so you can sell one helmet and subtract that amount (i guess 150-200€) from the 715€- Thats including customs and shipping additional 515 - 565€. Can you buy the other suits including shipping for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marian_melinte01 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 So you suggest the one without soft goods?I calculated for 650USD Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtbringer Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Definately. I have mine from the first run, we had not that option. In my opinion the included soft goods are not that good, maybe 50$ worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marian_melinte01 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 This is my maths: Anovos without soft goods is 450USD with custom fee is 585USD and with shipping is 735USD wich equals 560GBP(and I get an extra helmet) The RS armour only is 550 GBP(shipping is free) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marian_melinte01 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Ooooooo, I am wrong in Romania I need to pay also extra VAT which is 25% from original price Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtbringer Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 At RS there is no second helmet that can be sold, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marian_melinte01 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 What do you mean there is no second helmet? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtbringer Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 In the 450$ Anovos kit is a build helmet included. As you already have one, that would be a second, so you could sell one of them to make the endprice even lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marian_melinte01 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I understand your point but initialy I didn't counted the VAT, and it seem that the RS or TM are superior quality Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtbringer Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I understand your point but initialy I didn't counted the VAT, and it seem that the RS or TM are superior quality I would suggest you start reading a lot before spending any money.

marian_melinte01 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I think my choice of armour is now limited to RS because it offers free shiping, but I don't know wich one ,PVC or ABS, will be more similar to the Anovos helmet ?

Lichtbringer Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 For example: Romania has 20% VAT, not 25. It was 24, but since 01.01.2016 it´s reduced to 20% As a part of the EU many fees are more or less in the same range in many countries - so i don´t believe the 30% customs. More believable is 20% VAT + 10% customs fee, 30 in total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk The PVC is more brilliant white, but the anovos helmet is itself ABS. I would go for ABS myself based on what I've seen from the two materials.

Lichtbringer Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Don't mind him. He just dislikes fan made armour. And i dislike stupid questions even more. This whole thread is just a laugh. I mentioned it before, if he isn´t able or willing to get the Anovos, sell the stupid helmet he has. Then buy whatever armor he likes with the matching helmet. But don´t sit on that helmet and try to get a amen for any funny combination. All his running in circles is a waste of time. One could say "be a man, make a decision, any decision, and live with it".
