RS Garrick Hagon Signature Edition X Wing Helmet is up for sale

[teecrooz]

I held off on getting this one because the blast shield helmet should be up for sale soon!

When I asked Andrea about it in the past, I was told those helmets were limited to the signature runs. But, I'd shoot them a email to ask as things could have changed.

Ahhh I guess I was wrong then.

RS will do commission builds of x wing helmets , any design you want ....but remember there are only two people at RS who do all the painting , and at the moment they are up to their eyeballs in Biggs and blast shield helmets , and also all the other stuff they sell ...stormtrooper helmets take ages to paint , the tie pilots aren't mush simpler ...etc etc .
So I guess what I am trying to say is, they will do commissions...but when is another matter ... but as always, worth a phone call or email .

I know I need a Wedge Signature X-Wing..... but do I need a blast shield helmet too?


More than likely

Have they offered the blast shield helmet yet? I don't remember seeing it

Nope, it goes up with the new website

 

[teecrooz]

It was supposed to go live last week, but there were some issues with the site launch that held it up.

Just got my shipping notice. Biggs should be here Monday!

 

[CatfoodRob]

The new web site is up today , but no mention of any x wing helmets at all ...or biker scouts .
I guess the popularity of the x wingbhelmet runs has clogged them down for a short while .. those things take a ton of paint time , and RS is a smalll business . However I'm pretty sure an email , or better still a phone call could get a guy on a (short) waiting list for any of the new stuff .

The Red 4 is still up

RS mentioned that they are still moving stuff over to the new site and that things will be down today.

Been waiting for this one for awhile. Snagged one!

I hope one day they do a Wedge SE.

If you look close enough, Wedge helmet is showing in their latest youtube vid, see if you can spot it. Be great to get Dennis Lawson on board for this one.

Just had my shipping notice as well. Delivery due tomorrow !! Met Garrick Hagon at Birmingham Comic Con on Saturday. He had his with him. Looks great. Lovely chap to chat with as well. He was saying how he had enjoyed his time with RS and what nice folks they were. He was impressed with how much time and effort goes into producing the helmet.

Those pics really show how EFX oversized their helmets.

Yes, I noticed the Wedge helmet a couple of times in that vid. Hopefully they can get Dennis to sign if it comes out.

I received my shipping notice for the Biggs Helmet. Looks as though it is shipping via courier and not regular post, which would be preferable as there was a postal strike here in Canada, and now there is a huge backlog of parcels apparently.

Anyone receive theirs yet? Did it come by courier or regular post?
