| Post subject: | loyal denizen of the Empire |
Hello everybody! My name is Angelo and live in Hammond,IN. This has been a dream of mine for a long time and am excitied to get the ball rolling, I am new to all of this, but have been doing a lot of research. I'm looking at ATA or RT-MOD for stormtrooper armor. However I am a baller on a budget and am wondering if it is a good idea to buy one piece at a time or just wait and save for the whole kit. I would appreciate any advice. thanks, long live the Empire. |

Welcome! Your best option is to get everything in a kit so the plastic color would match. I am in Crown Point so once you do get a kit there could always be an armor party to help work on it. |

Welcome angelo! You can buy it in parts but it would cost you more in the long run. Perhaps starting with the helmet and moving from there. Remember that your gloves, underarmor, boots, neck seal, holster, and blaster are all sold separate from the armor. So you could also track that stuff down to before getting the armor. |

I could be wrong, but I thought the Fx kits weren't acceptable any more....unless you're grandfathered in |

From the CRL: Note: The FX helmet is considered deprecated (to be avoided), though is acceptable for Legion requirements. The FX bucket is not acceptable for Level 2 and 3 approval. |

Even tho the fx bucket may still be approvable it is recommended to avoid it and go with one that is more accurate to begin with, by doing that you will have a better looking & screen accurate kit. I would recommend AP or ATA for the bucket. You could get the full kit from them as well if you do not mind waiting a bit for them. |
