I hav tried on the motorized transporter once ... there is no accelerator or brake for this transport ... to accelerate, just lean yourself forward, and it will start moving forward; the further u lean, the fastest the speed ... the stop, just straigthen urself ... well, easy said than done, need a few minutes to re-position, hehe

This is the latest advanced technology to be used in airport and large factories and exhibition halls, as walking too tiring while buggy is too bulky ...

What happen if you lean too hard and fall forward? Do you reach warp speed?

Depending on the Quality and Type (Fan Sculpture, ANH Cast etc etc), the Stormtrooper Armor can range from around USD550 for Armor Parts only to a few thousands USD. After adding in the Helmet, Blaster, Neck Sealer, Unitard/Bodysuit, Boots etc etc, can fluctuate to near or over USD1,000.

Serious about getting one?

Main Priority is : Do you have the money yet?

Armors don't come cheap. Even the "cheapest" Armor can run into several hundreds dollars depending on your luck and how much of the softparts you do yourself.

My Full TIE Fighter Pilot suit cost me more than S$700 inclusive of shipping... My Biker Scout costume, which has significantly more armoured parts and a better helmet, is gradully climbing towards S$1.5k...

The point is, shipping can be quite a killer. Check out the forum at www.moviemania.com.sg where the hardcore Imperial costumers hang out...

You are scaring me over the cost of the basic armor

..........not!

GetzJedi wrote:The point is, shipping can be quite a killer.

And I agree wholesomely

especially if the seller don't use "economical" mode of shipping.

My IRG Helmet 4 years ago only cost me USD45 I think BUT the shipping cost me USD41.

Then my Hasbro Blaster Rifle, it only cost USD9.90 but the shipping was USD19.90 (and 1 year later, Action City brought it in

)

And if you choose to buy a fully-assembled set of Armor (with or without the Bodysuit, Neck Sealer, Boots etc etc), it can easily climb to over USD1,000. Anyway, you pay for your lack of skill or laziness.

So consider first your budget and probably body size (height maybe tho' I think minimal for Stormtrooper is about 5') first before deciding on really getting an Armor.
