TK21999[TK] Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 Well..., it took only one event as a Handler to realize, without a doubt, that I want to be apart of the 501st. I’m hooked on the FOTK and have decided on the TFA styling. I’d also like to finish it with approval as a Riot Control Trooper (I have 3 Z6 RCBs and should probably put them to use). Less one set of tires ($$$), a win at the local casino ($$$) and some saving ($$$)..., I have this much now, $$$$. So let’s go shopping!!! Over the the next few days I’ll be reading all the TFA builds (thanks again for the links in my intro) and taking notes for my build. So far I’ve read that KB, JIMI and Anovos might be the best options. I’m not familiar with all the “preferred” FOTK armor sellers but would love to hear from anyone with recommendations (PM if necessary). With this build I’ll have the challenge of s-t-r-e-c-h-i-n-g it to fit my 6’3” frame and finding a size 14 boot. I did find a photo of a 6’3” FOTK so I’m excited to learn that it can be done. Thank you all for sharing this experience. I’m very excited to be a part, and take part in all the fun. I’m also looking forward to a, most likely, long and challenging build. (Photo: TK-42134 still struggling with the “Droid” search...) 4 Quote
TK-42134[TK] Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 I better get the shop ready. Looks like we both may be busy. 1 Quote

T K[501st] Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 Awesome David! We are all here for you! Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 6, 2019 Report Posted March 6, 2019 No issues with the first 2 suppliers that you have mentioned, Anovos will deliver at some stage but no guarantee when, many have been waiting patiently. Here's a helpful thread for bits and pieces https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/34166-first-order-stormtrooper-resources/?page=1 Looking forward to see a build thread and some BBB (big brown box) photos in the not too distant future. Good luck Quote

If you decide to go FO that would be fantastic, there are a few of us here in Reno hoping to do the same (have been waiting several years for Anovos!). Quote

Unfortunately Brien, I will not be going FO. I’m looking to get an AM TK kit and build it to Centurion, and turn my current Anovos Armor into a TD. 1 Quote

mikidymac[TK] Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 Yes, many of us ordered the Anovos kits in 2016 and now here we are with nothing to show for it but less money in our account. They are the worst and keep pushing the delivery date every time it gets close. But alas we continue to wait with a small glimmer of hope someday might arrive. I’m 6’3” also so I’ll let you know if I ever get my FOTK but until then I am enjoying my Anovos Classic TK. Quote

Maybe that’s Anovos’ marketing tactics for us taller folks. Hmmm... 1 Quote
