ORDERING INFORMATION AND RULES
- Order date and time is July 8, 2008 at 9AM Pacific Daylight Savings Time.
- THIS IS NOT A PRE-ORDER. Product will be ready to ship in 3-5 business days.
- The limit is 1 (one) per person on the first day. If any remain after the first day, you can order a second one. Any order with more than 1 (one) helmet or duplicate orders on the first day will result in the cancellation of BOTH orders.
- Ordering will be via www.efxcollectibles.com ONLY, no phone or mail orders.
- Payment by VISA, MasterCard and American Express ONLY.
- Please review our Return Policy on our website before purchasing.
- International customers can purchase either through an authorized retailer in their country or on our website. However, if you order directly from us, you will be responsible for all shipping costs, duties, taxes and other fees.

As we had announced previously, if you ordered a StormtrooperTM Helmet DIRECT from Master Replicas and your order was cancelled, you will have priority ordering for this helmet. And now It is even easier since Master Replicas has graciously agreed to verify anyone whose order was cancelled, so you can stop trying to hunt down your cancellation e-mail. So, if your order was cancelled and you are interested in purchasing one of these helmets, please e-mail Amy your contact information with the best time to contact you during business hours, at customerservice@efxcollectibles.com and she will contact you to give you the ordering instructions. You must contact Amy by July 1, 2008 to reserve your helmet.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Amy at customerservice@efxcollectibles.com

I love this policy!

Ok, here is the info for the Stormtrooper helmets as promised:

We made some minor improvements to the helmet. The Vodaphone (The black thing on the mouth area) the 3 stripes are cleaned up a little and you can now see 3 distinct ridges at the top.

We are now using a spray mask for the grey area on the frown. Before it was painted freehand, so this will make the lines a lot smoother. . .

As you can see, you can see the new base, as well. . .

The base is not approved by Lucasfilm yet so it is subject to change. We would be very interested to hear if you like the clear of black base.

Are these helmets basically the same helmet MR was offering?

If not, how will they differ? THX :)
 
Great news!
I googled around, but couldn't find any other images so far.
Any chance to post some more pics from this interesting helmet?
Arrgh, I just can't wait...
 
This is great news!

But, it would be nice if more than 500 are going to be made? From the sounds of things, there is a good chance that most if not all of them are going to be spoken for before they even go on sale. With people who ordered directly from MR and the dealers that are going to be getting some, that sounds like a good portion of the 500 are going to be gone.

Don't do that or you will end up with no helmets at all.

Nice to see you back, Amy. :)

I won't be pulling the trigger on this myself, but I'm happy for those who really want one - great move by efx! :thumbsup
