Welcome to the forums mate!

Vaders one of the most difficult and expensive costumes, especially to start with. Most people get there number starting as a stormtrooper and work their way up from there. Send our GML Muppet a pm, he'll give you the nfo you need for various costumes Smile

will do, thanks! (i found a place that sells vader costume for same price as storm trooper, and the vader costume seems to be the exact same as what other websites are selling for $1500)

Vader for $1500??? I dare say An enormous amount of work would need to be done to it to get it upto 501st standards at which point $1500 will turn into over $5000.

If youre keen on joining the 501st dont purchase any costume until youve spoken to Muppet, the costumes you are looking at are non screen accurate commercial release, what i like to call a glorified halloween costume. There's plenty of options, for every type of SW costume available to the community that are extremly accurate.

Welcome t3rm1n83r.

As Mouldman has said.... Stay away from evilbay. Because you will be disappointed.

Just want to know why you chose t3rm1n83r as your username?

Because we call each other by our username when we are at troops or Armour parties etc.

So calling you, t3rm1n83r, all the time might get a little old quickly. But never fear. We will find you a new username when we get to meet you. lol

All the very best on your journey to the darkside.

Yes welcome to the forums, I'm somewhat new myself & shall be ordering my armour today.
I've done a little research & muppet, thewolf have helped a lot although I have to admit the TK (Stormtrooper) armour I'm going for is quite expensive compared to others out there that are still acceptable by the 501st.
Having said this the armour I have decided to go with I've been eyeing up for a few years now but it's only recently I've decided to get off my butt to do something about it.

...oh & err Jaggered Fel is the name of my Elder Sith, I play SWG (starwars galaxies) online & that account is 7 years old although I have a few other accounts but not quite so old. When I first selected the name the system wouldn't allow me the correct way to spell his name to use for my character, hehe

Best of luck browsing & see you in the future Smile

Welcome Arnie, and like everyone else has said, there is alot to learn about SW costuming (for the 501st anyway Smile). It's not quite as easy as most people would think. Not exactly something you can buy off a rack and wear. Do lots of research, I have to dissagree about ebay, there is (some) good stuff out there. I have bought a bit from there for a few projects which I use. But do be carefull, alot of stuff is not. Any doubts, post a link on here and i'm sure someone will tell you if it's a good buy or not.
