marvalouslegend Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 i just ordered my tk armor from trooper gear. i need a e-11, where could I buy a e-11 kit or a e-11 fully made for $150 or below? Quote
zebedee[TK] Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 Hi Oliver, I got my E11 all resin kit here; http://www.doopydoos.com/star-wars-props-and-replicas-31-c.asp They also sell them pre-built. Not sure if there is somewhere closer to you that does them? Good luck,Rowan 2 Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 Hi Oliver, I would take Rowan's advice and order from Doopydoos. Be prepared to wait a month or so for it, but well worth the investment. You can mod it as much as you want within the guidelines, (I went all-out on mine). Check out Dark CMF or BULLDOG44's E-11 build tutorials, as well as many more fantastic ones on here. I would suggest reading them, and getting everything together while you wait for it, and that way it goes together pretty quickly. Best of luck! 2 Quote

A fully made under $150 is like finding a white elephant. It is there, just rare. Likely you will be able to find one in the sale area that someone is selling used. I think the Hyperfirm B grades are 150, but same deal, watch the junkyard for them. 1 Quote
marvalouslegend Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Posted February 7, 2015 thanks guys for the replies. I went to doopydoo's and everthing is out of stock Quote
T-Jay[TK] Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 thanks guys for the replies. I went to doopydoo's and everthing is out of stock These are sold out very fast, but you can leave your email address for notification on new kits. It's worth the waiting... 1 Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted February 7, 2015 Report Posted February 7, 2015 Yes, as T-Jay said, they sell out quickly, BUT, they usually re-stock fairly fast... Also, I would recommend having them "email you when they come in" in the area provided. The only thing is, when they DO email you, it will not be one that says "They are back in stock". It will simply be a blank. Go to the site immediately and order it... trust me. I waited one day, and they were sold out again, so the whole process started over. I would also ask them to PLEASE send you a tracking number when you order. Hope you have a great time on your build, and don't be afraid to ask questions! 1 Quote
Keyla Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 I've seen a lot of talk about doopydoo's Hasbro conversion kit, and I understand that this is not valid for Centurion approval. Does doopydoo also do full kits that are valid for Centurion (ie not based on Hasbro blaster)? 1 Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 No, Sarah, it won't work for Centurion... It's more fun to build your own, though! Quote
Keyla Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 Building your own looks really intimidating, but I'll keep on reading about other people's experiences... Thanks for the info, Joseph Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 It is indeed quite intimidating, but building one that is very much usable is also very simple when you get down to the actual work involved. It is when you begin adding modifications to the build that things can get a little tricky and in some cases scary. Quote
Evilboy[501st] Posted February 8, 2015 Report Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) I would recommend the THG Blasters E-11. The finished version are good for Centurion out-of-the-box with the addition of the wires from the counter to the power cylinders.. You can look at those HERE, and that is a pic of one below. He also offers them as an unfinished kit HERE. Ron at THG also offers them in "unbreakable" rubber for a little bit more. They are truly beautiful. Also, Ron is based in Oregon, so his shipping within the US is FAR less expensive. For full disclosure, I make all of the metal Scope rails for Ron. But he buys them from me in bulk, and I do not get any additional monies for the sales of the blasters. Edited July 26, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed 3 Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 11, 2015 Report Posted March 11, 2015 After you drop your resin one and parts shatter, head on over to the SciFire boys and score a hyperfirm. I haven't tried THG's in person, so can't comment on them. But you can for sure throw our hyperfirm on the ground and not worry. 2 Quote

I believe you can get a "B" grade from SLAVEFIVE for about $250. It's $100 over your budget but it's WELL worth it ! Quote

John B. Posted May 9, 2015 Report Posted May 9, 2015 Where do I purchase a Hyperfirm E-11 blaster? 2 Quote
Evilboy[501st] Posted May 9, 2015 Report Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) I don't know, but the THG kit is $165 and is available HERE. The Hyperfirms are quite nice and relatively light weight. The detail on the THG's is sharper and cleaner, but they are a little heavier. If you need to hear about the quality of these blasters from a reliable source, ask tkrestonva (Brian). he has handled them up close and has no stake in them.

KellwolfB6[501st] Posted May 9, 2015 Report Posted May 9, 2015 I'm kinda looking into E-11s right now. I know I'll drop and shatter a resin one, so I'm leaning towards one of the rubber models. Looking at the description, I'm kinda curious what kind of "finishing" is required on he rubber model. I've done a few resin kits of other props, so I know there's gluing, sanding and painting involved with those. Never worked with a rubber kit, though. 1 Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 9, 2015 Report Posted May 9, 2015 Not sure about the E-11s, but my DLT-19 Hyperfirm from Slavefive was good to go right out of the box. Painted, "weathered", and B E A utiful! Quote
Heat2237 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 I just ordered a Sterling parts kit. I can't wait to get started Quote
BILLSID29 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 DoopyDoo's are back in stock if anyone needs one,received an e-mail this AM at 2:00 and just ordered one. Hopefully they last awhile. Quote
=Sv3=[TK] Posted May 22, 2015 Report Posted May 22, 2015 So... Anyone knows how long it takes on average for kits to be available? I can't believe I missed it!!!! Quote

And if it is one/single piece of scope railing have to get it from Ron? Is it metal / stainless steel ? (Need one copy for my recent Doopydoos resin kit) Please advise. Thanx Edited August 31, 2015 by ArTwoDeeTwo Quote
