Timmer Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 Just wondering (as a newbie) if I were to buy a brand new FX kit (yeah, I know) would the helmet in that kit be acceptable? I know that they are bobble headed, but are they different from what was referred to as a "classic" FX helmet? Thank you to all those who contribute to these forums, they have helped me immensely. ok, just checking... thanks. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted August 24, 2008 Report Posted August 24, 2008 The FX helmet is accepted for 501st membership, but is not acceptable for either FISD Elite or MEPD Police Officer status. In some garrisons (like mine) there are only a few people left with them, and only for secondary costumes. Considering that the MRCE is acceptable (with some mods) for Elite/Police Officer, this is what many are moving to. Heck, even FX sells helmet-less kits. Also, the pricing for other kits has come down drastically - you can get an AP or TE2 kit for a little over $225-$250. Figure you can sell an FX bucket for about $100 and it's not much more then to go with a far more accurate helmet. Honestly I'm recommending everyone starting out not get an FX bucket. It's only a matter of time before they are no longer 501st acceptable. Quote
