burgan323 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Found this FX armor on eBay. What do the guys with armor think about this. Is it worth a bid? http://cgi.ebay.com/Fx-Storm-trooper-armor...=item4a9e3e9dd8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonfox Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Funny you should bring this up. I emailed the seller to let him know his auction description is fraudulent, and from his lack of response, he knows it. What he is calling FX armor is really the cheap and HIGHLY inaccurate Rubies armor (search "rubies" in this forum). It isn't worth the plastic it's made out of. Best advice I can give is to stay away from ebay. Found this FX armor on eBay. What do the guys with armor think about this.

RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For one thing it is NOT FX armor But RUBIES, To get Rubies up to 501st acceptance, you will have to do a LOT of modification. DANGER!!DANGER!! STAY AWAY!! Either they don't know what armor they have up for auction or they are just lying...My money is on LYING! If you are looking for good quality armor, look for ATA, AM, TE2 ,AP, RT-Mod, TM... My advice is to stay away from ebay for your armor needs. All you will find on there is re-cast and liars!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonfox Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 *update* I got a response from the seller. Turns out he didn't know anything about the differences between armors and asked for websites to check his against. I sent him to tk1336.com and...GOOGLE!!!!! jeez. Ignorance is no excuse but I guess it's better than dishonesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper[TK] Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 One of the best sites on the net to look at the differences between armor is SWH :http://www.starwarshelmets.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonfox Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 *update* The "Armor" was up to $620.00, but he took it down and thanked me for bringing it to his attention. I'm kind of impressed! He could have let it sell, and not cared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
