It is pretty cool to be getting a free $300 Vader helmet with free shipping. But I wonder what happened to all of these? Throw some of these into my box, too!

I could wear my old glasses under my KS but not under an SC. Then I got new glasses and they are wider. So now I can't wear them under either bucket. Keeping my old glasess as trooping glasses with the KS, although I'm in the process of converting an Altmann's to be troopable. We'll see how the new glasses fare there..

Guessing the longer black decals are for the black around the nose plate.

For some reason stirrups don't work well for me. My feet still seem to slide out of them. I made some elastic straps with velcro ends that I just wrap around close to my ankles. Also tucking into your socks works like a charm.

I keep an Aker amp in one of my pouches.

I agree with NegativeEleven, the pouches weigh down my bund, although I did mine a bit differently. I added new pieces of velcro to the fronts of the flaps, keeping the Velcro on the back as well. Back flap velcro attaches to the bund... front flap velcro attaches to the inside of the chest armor. Makes a nice tight locked seal.

Your pouches are worn too far forward. Rule of thumb is to line the insides edge of each pouch with the last bund stitch on each side.

If it's fully finished like the photo then $250 is a good price.

Same as one of the Amazon links above, these are from JC Whitney: http://www.jcwhitney.com/interstate-leather-universal-insulated-leather-motorcycle-gloves/p2000067.jcwx?filterid=u0j1

Remove all of the URL tagging stuff. You should only have the URL of your photo between the IMG codes. Like this: [img*]http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae338/Swampfox83/DSCN0179_zps9c99a3a8.jpg[/img] I added the * so you could see what the code looks like. Remove the * and you'll see your photo in your post.

If only a LW could be purchased.....

Here's one:

I'll have to look at the blu-ray. The MOM pic posted above definitely shows the Velcro stitches as visible.

Better measurements to provide would be your head size...

I make sort of a velcro sandwich. Velcro on the back of my bund attaches to velcro on the vest. Velcro on the back of my pouch flaps attaches to velcro on the front of my bund. Velcro in the inside of my armor attaches to velcro on the front of my pouch flaps. Recap: Velcro on vest, velcro on both sides of the bund, velcro on both sides of pouch flaps, velcro on inside of chest armor. Locks everything nice and tight in place.

Sorry, but I refuse to say their name.

Is that the same bund from your previous photos? Your stitch lines look a tad crooked here making the ribs a bit wonky. Some thick near the bottom, some thin. Optical illusion? The material looks great here.

Egads that's tiny! I can't figure out why you can't wear glasses under the KS. I wear my glasses under mine and I have an enormous melon. The SC looks like it wouldn't fit past my forehead!

The current episode (354) of Star Wars Action News is a Comic Con recap show. There's a short 5 minute interview with Gino of eFX Collectibes regarding the Scout lid. It's starts about 58 minutes in. http://www.swactionn....htm?EP=SWAN354 The major points: They didn't have all of the original molds. The chin cup and visor molds were missing. So they molded those parts from one of the helmets in the archives. What was on display was the limited edition. The are still discussing the "legend" edition with weathering like the film. No price or release date yet.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to see it in person myself at CVI next month, assuming eFx will be there.

Found on Sideshow Collectors forums:

I few shots of the EFX Scout bucket have shown up on the Starwars.com blog. Looks like one is on display at SDCC. Keep your eyes peeled for more photos or ask anyone you know attending Comic Con to snap some more.

And as far as the SC bucket goes, it's been said that it will only fit small to medium heads (Which leaves me out.) So if you've got a big 'ol melon, KS is for you. Dear, lonewolf, our large screen accurate sized heads need your screen accurate sized bucket!

Yup. Open the box and put it on your head. You are all set.
