RS props vs TM armour with Anovos helmet HELP!

[marian_melinte01]

Hello,

After much research my options of stormtrooper armor are TM and RS props, because I live in Europe and I have to pay custom fees etc.Since I have already purchased the Anovos helmet I don't want another helmet.I was told that the RS armour in PVC is very similar to the colour of the Anovos helmet, but I don't know how is the TM armour in comparission to the Anovos helmet, because he has 2 options 1,5 and 2,5 wich is acrylic caped.I don't know what to choose.PLEASE HELP ME!!

The anovos plastic is actually a bit off white color. It is slightly different than the RS plastic which is whiter. It is closer to the off white TM 1.5. The 2.5 is VERY white and shiny.

RS would be my choice..

Anovos + customs is still cheaper than the other variants, and the color fits exactly.

 

I can´t see any intelligent reason to combine the way you mentioned - keep it all anovos, or sell the helmet and buy another complete armor with matching helmet.

The shiping is 150usd and the custom fee in Romania is 30% from the price of the product, and that brings the anovos armour at about the same price as the others, which are more screen acurate.

OUCH! 

[marian_melinte01]

I know, do you think the Anovos armour worths all that money?

Basic maths:

 

 

Anovos kit without soft goods (you better buy other, cheaper and better) is 450$

Shipping is 150$

 

600$ equates 550€

 

550 +30% = 715€

 

And a build Helmet is in that price included, so you can sell one helmet and subtract that amount (i guess 150-200€) from the 715€-

 

Thats including customs and shipping additional 515 - 565€. Can you buy the other suits including shipping for that?

[marian_melinte01]

So you suggest the one without soft goods?I calculated for 650USD

Definately.

 

I have mine from the first run, we had not that option. In my opinion the included soft goods are not that good, maybe 50$ worth.

[marian_melinte01]

This is my maths:

Anovos without soft goods is 450USD

with custom fee is 585USD

and with shipping is 735USD wich equals 560GBP(and I get an extra helmet)

The RS armour only is 550 GBP(shipping is free)

Ooooooo, I am wrong in Romania I need to pay also extra VAT which is 25% from original price

At RS there is no second helmet that can be sold, too.

[marian_melinte01]

What do you mean there is no second helmet?

In the 450$ Anovos kit is a build helmet included. As you already have one, that would be a second, so you could sell one of them to make the endprice even lower.

[marian_melinte01]

I understand your point but initialy I didn't counted the VAT, and it seem that the RS or TM are superior quality

I would suggest you start reading a lot before spending any money.

[marian_melinte01]

I have been reading stormtrooper armour threads for 2 months now.

Don't mind him. He just dislikes fan made armour.

I think my choice of armour is now limited to RS because it offers free shiping, but I don't know wich one ,PVC or ABS, will be more similar to the Anovos helmet ?

For example: Romania has 20% VAT, not 25. It was 24, but since 01.01.2016 it´s reduced to 20%

 

As a part of the EU many fees are more or less in the same range in many countries - so i don´t believe the 30% customs. More believable is 20% VAT + 10% customs fee, 30 in total.

The PVC is more brilliant white, but the anovos helmet is itself ABS. I would go for ABS myself based on what I've seen from the two materials.

And i dislike stupid questions even more.

 

This whole thread is just a laugh. 

 

 

I mentioned it before, if he isn´t able or willing to get the Anovos, sell the stupid helmet he has. Then buy whatever armor he likes with the matching helmet. But don´t sit on that helmet and try to get a amen for any funny combination.

 

All his running in circles is a waste of time. One could say "be a man, make a decision, any decision, and live with it".
