I just received shipping notification for Premier FO Stormtrooper last week and for Poe Premier helmet today!
Last week I received shipping notice emails for the AT-ACT helmet, Poe black helmet, and Shadowtrooper helmet kit. I received the AT-ACT helmet on Tuesday. The Poe black helmet finally showed that it was picked up by UPS on 11/1. The tracking for the Shadowtrooper helmet kit still doesn't show that it was picked up by UPS yet. Some of the shipping notice emails seem to be a little premature.I just received shipping notification for Premier FO Stormtrooper last week and for Poe Premier helmet today!
Ah ok. Probably packed and ready to go but not sent out to the shipper. Really want to see how the Poe compares to the Black Series Poe. Wonder are the visors movable like the BS?Last week I received shipping notice emails for the AT-ACT helmet, Poe black helmet, and Shadowtrooper helmet kit. I received the AT-ACT helmet on Tuesday.

It was for the helmet. Was delayed it seems due to QC issues in China. Glad it's finally releasedFor the first order Premier Kit or the Premier helmet ?
First wave usually is the first day or so from pre order date I think. If not, you are most likely 2nd or 3rd waveHad order my Black Poe helmet on 5/12/17, is it in the first wave?
I do see cracking in the clear coat. There also was some glue like substance that looked like damage. I was able to peel some off around the bridge of the chin. I'll share some nice pics and also a few of the cracking...
And I will also say that I think the premier FO Stormtrooper is built much better than Phasma.

They indeed look much very similar from the distance. But once you hold it in your hand and look inside, you will definitely see the vast difference in quality and built. But of course, the ABS one is built especially for trooping. Don't think anyone wants to wear that hefty fibreglass one for hours and sweating in that fully lined fabric insideWow, that's nice. I don't see that much difference!!! Are they that similar in person?

Oh what issue were those? I heard of some QC issues but not sure what exactly it wasThink that would also depend on a person's preference for collecting as well. I could argue that the econo helmet, it terms of material (and possibly construction) are more accurate the film helmets VS a fiberglass version. Now, the premier line helmet, at least from the pictures, looks quite nice and quality. I just hope they don't have the same issues that the very first fiberglass TFA helmets had.

I'm guessing the fibreglass one is the slightly warmer coloured one? The one on the left?
