TB-7076 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I already contacted one of the sources given on the EFX page and currently waiting for a response. Nevertheless those distributed goods will probably be more pricey than the original offer which already is a huge investment. And I can't come up with that much money instantly these days.... I once saved up to 500,- € when the first announcement for an EFX Scout helmet appeared but I had to spend it meanwhile due to shortages. I doubt there will be a constant supply with these (limited) or a still pricey "economy" edition later on. The same problem I had back in the 90ies with the two different Don Post helmet versions. Bad luck and timing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkno Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Really sorry to hear that I know what you mean about budget and everything. And international customers almost always pay more for the same items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkno Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 BTW on the eFX page regarding the Limited and Legend Scout: Our new officially licensed, Limited Edition (Biker) Scout Trooper Helmet will be the most accurate reproduction of this incredible helmet produced to date. It has the all the pedigree of our Legend Edition line since the master molds were made from the original master tools ILM used to make the screen-used helmets. As with the Legend Edition, there is no digital scanning or 3D modeling used, only original parts and tooling. We even used an original decal sheet from ILM to make our markings and symbols that are seen on the helmet! You can call this helmet "Legend - Light"! This original helmets were made in vacuum formed ABS. This EFX Limited Edition helmet is made in high quality, hand-laid fiberglass. So, what about the "Legend Edition" you may ask? The Legend Edition helmet will not be available as a separate item, we have something special planned for the "Legend Edition" Stayed tuned for our Comic Con announcement next week!

Milo Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 i saw them(sample) at C-VI 2years ago. They are not one casting(These are looks like a separate)... Face plate and visor. New helmets are face plate and visor are one casting? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 If that's the case Milo, then that's a further detraction from being screen accurate. Why would they do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gino Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 No they are still separate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 No they are still separate Thanks for the info. Cool! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-7076 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 News are out on efx page. The legend edition features a scout blaster probably taken from the original too. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaxim Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 And it looks like the legend version is assembled just like the movie ones. The Prop Den put pictures up on their FB page today. Might, however, just be me misunderstanding what some of the pictures mean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-7076 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I thought they were the same base but the legend one with the endor battle marks. Haven't seen high res pics yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkno Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Not sure if the Legend will be assembled with 2 halves due to production limitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaxim Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I might have misunderstood the "process" pictures from this album from The Prop Den on Facebook. Picture 8 and 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I think they're stock photos of the vac-formed halves on the original buck. Gino did say they took a pull, and assembled the lid, and then took the moulds for the GRP ones from that made lid from the bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaxim Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Right. Thanks for the explanation. Those pictures had me confused. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
