    It was honestly easier to find vintage Sears, Work N Leisure, Tradewares, and Roebucks than it was to find Reeds. Couldn't find them ANYWHERE, so I found the real ones. Took several months, but if you're patient and keep looking, you can find real ones, in the correct charcoal color, for about $30... instead of $700 that some knuckleheads are trying to charge for Sears... in the WRONG color lol.

    H20 had 4 masks(including the CGI one) and is widely considered one of the worst movie for masks. Especially because his eyes are so heavily featured, which takes away from the character immensely.

    Hey, thanks for sharing : problem is Thermoformed plastic manufacturing process (why ? because low manufacturing cost for the film, the comfort of wearing it is after...poor extras actors inside during movie they suffered !), the pieces are very thin and cause pain with pinching of the skin at the joints, the solution ? no more thermoformed manufacturing ! but in injected ABS, or you can leave thicknesses of material near each joint (arms and legs) and also be able to shorten (while keeping the internal bead) and adapt the ends of each piece to each bodies, thanks to this surplus of material (which is not heavier than a thermo armor) here is the solution friends, this ABS version seems not to exist yet today...I'm coming....

    Facebook Marketplace is your best friend. Why shell out $800+ dollars for a kit when you can find one for $400 that was used twice on Marketplace? Unless you’re joining the 501st Leigion and you’re going to do every conceivable charity event, you do not need a sparkly brand new out of the box factory new setup. Also, how you choose to put your armor together is totally 100% your choice. So long as it isn’t visible to the public, then how you choose to modify your armor is your decision. There is no “wrong way” especially if it will never be visible to the public or a camera

    The last number on the tag you read "10333" is the color code and height. 10331, 10332, 10333 is spruce green short, regular, and tall- so "10333" is spruce green tall. I'm not sure what the 420 is, maybe size. 10336, 10337, 10338 is tex-green short, regular, and tall. This is important because there are no other marking on the hang tag for color, only the chest tag that is usually removed. The spruce green, charcoal, and tex-green are all so similar looking, especially after age and washings that you can't really be 100% sure which color they are unless they're new with that tag. But I think all 3 colors look great

    Ainsworth never designed the Stormtrooper helmet. Liz Moore and Brian Muir designed and Moore sculpted the original Stormtrooper helmet. Moore also sculpted the first C3P0 helmet. Ainsworth mass produced what was already designed. He was never involved in the creative process and in fact, he never once spoke to Muir or Moore. Ainsworth is a fraud.

    I disagree. You get to know your armor better when you do it yourself. If you ever need to repair it, you're so much more familiar with what to do... To me, and other people, it's just lazy and kind of cheating to have somebody build it. You appreciate it more. It's an achievement you can be proud of. I'm doing my 3rd build if you include help my wife with her build (I made her go it herself and in the end, she appreciates it).

    I took a hiatus from this hobby back about the time you started. I do remember the bells being the most accurate that I'd seen with the curved swoosh just like the ANH. I thought I'd heard he probably had something on the bells from the original, but I've missed the last 10 years in this hobby.

    While I disagree almost entirely, I can definitely see why someone would have a preference of the ESB. Personally, I like the handmade aspect of the hand painted helmets. It feels much more unique, like an art piece. I prefer the gray frown, mainly for nostalgic reasons. I think part of #5 depends on whether you're assembling It yourself or it's painted by someone else. I ordered from RS and the fact that they do everything, including the painting and weathering, makes ANH ultimately my personal preference.
