The long sold out EFX helmet
there are one off's of different concept vaders. However, unless comissioned - no full set of concept helm and armor being offered. I may be wrong though.

Darth Stone offers the helmet kits and armor kits
You are promoting the works and product of a banned member, just fyi.

Really??? I mean, that sucks, and I had absolutely no idea, and i guess iwont promote him on this one site anymore, but dang! I had no idea that happened over here.
Are you sure we're talking about the same guy? The best Darth Vader helmet and armor maker around? I mean, in the 501st, hes the number 1 most desired armor and helmet maker around... that is really strange.....
I remember back in the day when only thieves and dirty recasters were the people being banned. Its really sad to see that automatically because theyre "banned" from a site like this, you cant even mention their name because they were "banned". A lot of drama keeps unfolding on here now a days.... its sad to see so much drama come to a community of people like this who are just wanting to dress up for fun.

Huh, well thats sad...
Oh well, not anything I want to get involved in though.
What R2Dan said. Btw, Darth Stone´s helmet and armor were way too large for costuming purposes. He scaled his Vader concept helmet using a regular Vader helmet, which made it really, really large. I had the opportunity to see a set of helmet and armor, and building a costume may have resulted in having to use a mannequin about 20 percent larger than a standard Vader. The first concept Vader made by JRX suffered from the same problem, big bobble head.

Again, I dont really want to get involved with anything like that, but I do hear that hes trying to make that up to those people. Not sure anout any drama here on therpf, but there was a guy on the 501st forums that caused a lot of drama towards DS after Ds had cleared everything up on his part. So yes, that is in fact drama. I dont know his methods behind it, because I never did order any of his finished stuff. He got my helmet kit and armor kit to me within a month of me ordering it. Again, I dont really know the full story, and dont necessarily care to. Im sure he probably had his reasons just like his customers had their reasons to be upset. Id be super upset if I had waited that long.
Again, I dont want to have really any side in this, id rather remain neutral, because I see the good and bad in both sides and saw some of it unfold over at the SLD forums.
I understand your position and that he was able to provide product and service to you.
But he is a banned member, and promoting his products or pointing other members to his sales/websites is known as 'shilling' and associates you with selling on his behalf and as a result you yourself could get banned.
Best to offer the OP advice and keep any Darth Stone information out ot the discussion.

Like I already said, although its absolutely ridiculous that we're not allowed to state our opinon on a subject (freedom of speech), for that reason alone, im completely neutral on the subject, and am not going to agree with either side, because I would prefer to stay out of any type of matters that could potentially lead to the banning of me or anyone else.
