My dad said he'd foot the bill for a kit of my choise as long as it remained around $700.

I'd love a storm commando or black hole trooper. Not sure on what else is available out there in kit form or where to even look.
PM me if you know anything i would love it! :)

Black Hole Trooper kit should run around $450-550. Storm commando should be $375+ for the hard parts. Black hole troopers come up on eBay all the time. I may have a lead for the SC, but someone else can probably help you with an more economical kit.

Just keep it to PMs and not name armorers on the board.

I'd say follow your interest in the biker scout theme and do a General Weir - Not only will you look totally awesome, but you will also have experience building the suit and a more extensive firsthand knowledge of how to put your metal spitfire one together

Daniel..... buddy... we can't have two General Weirs in the garrison man. We just can't. I called dibbs on it first! :P

But shifty is right.... since you have the whole Biker theme going, do the Storm Commando. Cloud City doesn't have any Storm Commandos.... yet. You could be our first! I'll send you a PM if you want the Storm Commando armor. I do know of a place that had two available going for $650. But that was as of August 1st. They could have been sold by now, who knows. But we can probably find some armor through the garrison for a cheaper price. Stay tuned!

No worries, Shifty.... I guess I don't don't have an issue with screen canon costume.... my current costumes are the black uniformed officer and the TIE PILOT.

Someday, that Storm Commando will be in my hot little hands... someday!

I was actually really suprised when my dad offered to buy a kit. It really came out of the blue i was showing him the metal armor i'm building and wandered a site really quick that has armor kits and lots of tutorials and then he offered right out of the blue.
I think he likes the fact that i would be doing lots of charity work with it, he did say to make sure that it stays low on the conversation radar around mom lol.

My dad is currently my biggest fan - I think I might try to convince him to join up with the 501st. Could be cool :)
