Looks like they have lowered the second tier price for the kit ensembles. Previous to today the website stated the second tier price was to have been $650 after May 4th. This morning they are pricing it at $450 until preregistration ends. Still a great buy if you missed out on the $350 price.

the funtasma TK boots have got a seam down the front centre, so not 100% accurate

I love how the Rubies Supreme stormtrooper costume is still $1,000.

Which technically is less expensive than the Anovos... as the Anovos Stormtrooper in completed form is now $1450.
Just comparing apples to apples
I know which one I ordered and it wasn't the Rubies!!

^That's my main motivation for getting this kit. Cost has so far been the only thing in the way of me trying to build a suit and join up.
I figure at least this will get me started and I can make some modifications if necessary rather than starting from scratch.

I'm interested for sure. I'm willing to make modifications as needed. I already built the E-11.
Here's my build thread:

stay away from the funtasma TK boots if you want to join the 501st, they won't be accepted with that stitch seam on the front

Hate to be a "me too" but I bit on this as well. I literally pushed the buy button at 11:59 CT. My wife originally told me "no" several times today but with my 50th coming up, she gave in. Really looking forward to this. Our local group was split on whether this was Stunt or Hero. Maybe the Anovos rep on here could enlighten?
There was a fun discussion on our local group about this deal. Lots of folks want to join the 501st. I do as well. One of the group members stated that the 501st wants you to put "sweat equity" into your suit and not purchase a kit. He pointed me to whitearmor.net. However, when I went over there, there were many 501st members talking about how many of these suits they ordered for their second or third (or fourth) suits. So that gives me a little hope that this suit, if built correctly, will be appropriate.
