Like the title says, I just took delivery of a TE stunt bucket that I purchased from a member here on the boards. It's hard to justify silly extravagances like this in these difficult financial times, but sometimes a deal and a great piece are too hard to pass up.
First, I have to say that the helmet looks amazing. I have it on display with my newly acquired SPFX Vader ESB and the EfX Trooper helmet. The comparison to the EfX is amazing. The EfX looks like a trooper while the TE IS a trooper. I can't get over the beauty of the piece. It looks like an original sitting on my shelf. Just awesome. The kind of piece I've always wanted.
That said, I am AMAZED at how light weight it is compared to the EfX. Definitely a display only helmet. It's already showing signs of age, it's signed and dated 2003. Not enough to take away from it, but just enough to make it look a little more authentic and worn. If this is how the originals were made, then it's a miracle that any of them survived the production as it would seem the makers definitely did not have longevity in mind. The first word that comes to mind is "disposable". But, again, beautiful. And, now that I have one great trooper helmet. I want another. Like all things related to this board. It's a sickness. Also, looking at it, I think I'd like to work towards putting an entire display Stormtrooper together. Anyone know good sources of armour of comparable quality?
Do any of you guys have TE buckets of your own? I'd love to see pictures of some other helmets.
Wish I could share pics, but I'm not able to right now.
