Its worth it for the price. But its not screen accurate and any stormtrooper fan will tell you that it looks a bit weird, esp the ear areas. That being said, its still a good buy because its alot cheaper than its Limited Edition brother.

Here's a review of the helmet from Star Wars helmets: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/bingo275/MR_Budget_Stormy.htm

And here's a recount of what it took a 501st member to upgrade it to acceptable specs. And I do mean acceptable only. hahaha...

I guess my biggest issue with it is the way its put together. The original helmets were put together in 4 parts - face, back+dome and 2 ears. This one is put together in 6 parts! Dome, back, Top face, Lower face and 2 ears. The face made of 2 parts so you will see a seam running below the frown where it splits the top half of the face and the bottom.

Anyhow, I might order one just to play around with. I already got me the Limited Edition one and thats a beautiful piece! :)
