Hello guys, been MIA for a while due to school..Hope all is well.
I'm looking for Stormtrooper armor, primarily for halloween purposes but maybe some tokyo trooper excursions of my own too ^_^
Any help would be appreciated, like where to buy or what to look for, as well as tips on building, my school has a thermoforming machine at my disposal. However, mold making would be rather time consuming for my tight schedule..
Thanks in advance!
If you want the actual replica of the stormtrooper armor, I would look at ebay. They have very accurate replicas but a bit pricey, unless you can afford it. Hope this helps.
Yeah I have been poking around ebay but the prices are pretty extravagant for a student like me ^^; I'm starting to feel like it's the only option right now though..
Accurate suits are gonna cost ys
Rubys is selling armor for around $500 however the accuracy is downright horrible and the helmet should just be thrown in the trash a good accurate suit will cost around $800 for a kit of the armour you'll also need to buy an undersuit, boots, gloves, a blaster and a neckseal so if you want a good suit don't expect it to be cheap
NEVER TRUST EBAY if you want a straightup suit of accurate trooper armor if you're new to star wars costuming start at http://www.whitearmor.net/home/ or your local 501st Garrison makes some friends and ask around ebay can't be trusted because the armor could have problems or inaccuracies or the sellers might not be the best people out there
And btw I stress this don't go on a 501st forum and post "where do I buy armor?" threads.
Thanks man! This has been a big help. But yeah I never planned on going to a real serious site for advice, figured figure.fm was a more laid back community for help. This is really helpful on details though!
Check out this website constantly.

I once saw that they were selling one for around $1,000. It seems they don't have any available right now but hopefully they might later on. I also want to get me one.
