The sale will go live on Sunday, April 19th 2009 at 12 pm Pacific. At that time I'll post a For Sale thread. It will pretty much have all the same information as this post. This is a heads up so everyone knows all the information ahead of time since in all likelyhood the sale will go fast. Read through this and figure out what you need and want to buy on Sunday. Write it down. Do your homework. Study.
Slots:
There are 10 spots for armor. Ten total. Not ten of each. Ten slots. First come first served. Once the sale goes live, interested parties will email me for their spot. This sale is going up on 5 different forums so I can't weed through PM's and posts from all those places to figure out who got to me first.
Deposit:
A deposit of $100, via paypal, will be required with your spot. This is refundable if you decide to back out.
Raw/ Painted:
Raw armor comes pretty much straight from the molds. It'll be in white gel coat. The excess fiberglass will be rough trimmed. Grinding, shaping, sanding, finishing, and painting will be up to you.
Painted armor comes fully painted, weathered, and finished. The chest armor will have velcro added to the back plate. Obviously for an extra cost and work time.
Paint Schemes:
Chosen One Matte: This is the animated style. Matte grey paint scheme with dry brush weathering.
Chosen One Metallic: This is the "real world" version. Metallic paint scheme with dry drush weathering. This version requires a longer work time due to an extra paint step.
The Negotiator: White matte paint scheme with dry brush weathering.
Payment:
For raw armor, the remaining cost will be due, via paypal, when the armor is ready to ship.
For painted armor, half the cost will be due when the armor is ready to paint. The remaining cost due when the armor is ready to ship. This is to cover cost of materials.
Work Time:
If you order raw armor it should be done pretty quick. Maybe 2-4 weeks at most.
Painted armor could be considerably longer. The time adds up as the armor pieces add up. Expect 6-8 weeks. I know this seems long but remember I'll basically be working on all this armor at the same time.

Sizing:
Everything should be one size fits all. The chest armor and shoulders are made in a size that should be pretty good for most people. There are a few items that have specific sizing.
Forearms:
These are a tight fit. Made to recreate the lean look of the show. They will only fit people with smaller arms. The inside diameter at the top is around 11" and around 10" at the wrist. Make sure you measure your arms and hands to make sure they fit before you order these. I can't guarantee they'll fit if you don't.
Biceps:
These aren't as tight a fit as the forearms. The inside diameter is 12.5" They fit over my arms with room to spare that I will probably have to fill with foam. The size would only be an issue if you are a big bodybuilder and have 20" pythons.
Ok, peeps! That's all the info you need to know. Figure out what you want and get ready for noon on Sunday. Any questions or concerns you have need to be addressed between now and Sunday morning. Do your homework and it will probably help you get a jump on the sale. Thanks as always for the interest!
