Gday Westwind,

TIE Pilots are a great kit!!! Actually they are the best costume but if I say that too loud everyone gets upset.

Have you done any research yet on what type of TIE you are thinking? There are a few variants all with thier own subtle differences.
Also do you know much yet about the various armour makers that are out there? There are quite a few now producing good quality accurate armour.
Alternatively the 2nd hand market is pretty good. I knw Wendell here on the forums is selling an excellent ANH TIE Pilot.
Wendell is a very experienced costumer and the finish on his gear is awesome so it would be a siolid option.

Anyway welcome to the forums and dont hesitate to reach out should you have any questions or need a hand,

Cheers
S.E.
