Yummi Posted November 7, 2015 Report Posted November 7, 2015 Alright so i found this kit on ebay (shun me now) not to long ago and i watched it. After 3 weeks his price dropped 400 dollars and then i talked him into coming down another 150. At this point i paid 600 total for the kit. Just to get the kit and find out it is an FX kit with an FX helmet. From my knowledge, i through a fit at the guy telling him this helmet is no longer 501st approvable and he returned ANOTHER $150 to me so i could get a correct helmet. At this point i paid $450. Not only was it a full kit but it came with ALL the sandtrooper things needed, and on top of that a $200 mic setup still in its package. So total i spent around $50 for a full kit of armor and the other 400 for the extra stuff that can easily be re-sold. This was basically ebay robbery so i had to do it haha. Upon further inspection i realized it was a jedi-robe kit (there were jedi-robe business cards everywhere). Ive been trimming and glueing and strapping this armor together and have been researching so peoples pictures of jedi-robe armor. Either they upgraded there armor or ive done hell of a job trimming. Or maybe i have high hopes lol. But the armor is coming out pretty well, and to top it off i got my AP helmet assembled to go with it! So even though it was jedi-robe armor, for $450 bucks did i really lose out? Quote

aliens8us Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Well, it matters if you want to be approved by 501st Legion standards. So you do have to care what some people think. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Quote
Yummi Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Posted November 9, 2015 Haha yeah although i appreciate the support Caleb, it kinda does matter what the 501st thinks lol. Quote
