I'm gonna need a second job after all the new announcements. There I was debating getting General Merrick helmet and now I've got a bunch of new temptations. Went for the Death Trooper Specialist even though I got the first one. Love the lights and range finder.

I don't remember a standard Phasma. There was a standard Kylo Ren helmet, but it was cancelled.Am I mis-remembering that Anovos had a NON-premiere Phasma helmet?
These are based off of the actual helmets (unlike say the Hasbro ST) so don't freak out when you try to put it on and it is asymmetric.
Anyone know of the Han Solo bespin setup will ever be released again in the "premium" line?

I think it's inaccurate to say "the 501st" as it implies that we all made some kind of universal unanimous decision. Rubber blasters are definitely more common than they were a few years ago, but these are costly and most members, especially starting out, don't care to put a whole lot of money into a blaster, especially since it's not even a required part of the costume to begin with. I'd argue that the more prevalent blaster is a modified hasbro, but a large number of blaster vendors are resin and now 3d printed, speaking about standard E-11s. Other blasters- DLT19s, BFGs, etc. are more commonly not made in rubber outside of Hyperfirm. These are still built in common materials.
It still irritates me that the modified Hasbros are accepted, but we're picky about the freaking type of screw on the ears of the helmet. Oy!
FWIW, I love the Hyperfirm blaster. I never carry my converted Sterling... looks too real, and it's HEAVY.
Although some regions may require weapons where local laws don't prevent them being carried, such as the UK Garrison who require blasters on Stormtroopers for example even though the CRL says optional.Well, it's not "accepted" because the 501st doesn't "accept" blasters. Members choose to get them
