Thanks for the enthuiasm Guys, but as I tried to allude in my intro-post, I'm not big on the concept of building a costume. Although it seems pretty clear that costume building is a large, positive, factor for some of us here, for me it's more about fulfilling my decades-old-desire to get inside the Star Wars Universe and less about recalling how crap I was in Home Economics in Grade 8. Hope this won't put me too far out on the fringes of the Status-Quo here, but that's the way it is.
Further to this, does anyone have an opinion on this costume I found on ebay ? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...0641678770 The name of the seller, 'Grub' rings a bell, but I can't recall from where. Anybody know if this is good\poor value or actually know the suit ? "I am sick and tired of being responsible for the welfare of the entire universe and its outlying suburbs!" -- Rodimus Prime

That's TAG member The Hammer's Vader.
Very accurate from what I've read and been told.

And, well, not much more I could find out. The guy who is selling it doesn't troop any more and is not very active in the 501st. The costume IS a very good one and is indeed worth about $5K.

These blast points — too accurate for sandpeople. Only imperial stormtroopers are so precise.

Just picked up one of these.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Star-Wars-Dar...4cf99aaf5c Technically it's a start on a costume. "I am sick and tired of being responsible for the welfare of the entire universe and its outlying suburbs!" -- Rodimus Prime

I don't want to put you down, but thinkgeek.com has them for $120us plus about $50us postage, a little cheaper, but it's a start, good luck!!!
