Hello guys,

I don't know if this is the right section to create this thread but here goes anyway!

I like to get into buckets someday but personally, I prefer it comes in unpainted kit form.

I only have an ABS Stormtrooper helmet from Efx. I bought 3 Hasbro phase 1 but didn't come around to modding them.

So, I thought I put up this thread for those, like me, who someday or even now wants to get in on buckets. Be it Stormies, Clones, Mondalorians, Vader, Sith, Bounty Hunters etc etc etc., please share your wares here. Obviously, if you got a full suit. Don't be shy to share.

And advise, if possible, where can one get those that are well made, accurate and what kinda pricing can one expect to pay.

Thanks and look forward to your piccies!

Well as far as Stormies go, a really great artist named Damian Jablonski did this move along from ANH, he does the best Canon Sandtrooper Armour out there.

He is from Poland, and he does other versions I believe. This lid was about $400 door to door, and he delivers, ( sold my armour to fund saber related stuff) I have the armour I did still from a couple years ago. His armour is widely know as the best. A lot of 501st get their amour from him, but he sells ready to wear kits at a higher price also.

the thing about the Tk's is that the helmets and the armour has a rich backstory filled with   legal battles and all kinds of stuff.

there is a ton of controversy about who did the armour   all the way to the UK supreme court

Now remember the more people you ask about Armour, the more opinions you are gonna hear..   LOL

People get crazy when it comes to CANON, and the Armour crowd by and large is huge, and saturated with knock offs..

Wow that is a handful to look into. Isnt that the British company that GL unsuccessfully tried to sue? And aluminum helmet? Huh? Oh, cant get in that website unless registered!

I like the weatherings! The interior of the helmet looks like its an actual and fully functional piece. Amazing!!!
