DarkSoldier308 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Hey Guys, I found this helmet on ebay and was wondering is it good? It costs about $360 total and it's ready to wear. Am I better off using the SC Deluxe helmet kit? \ Here's the link in case you wanted to check it out! http://www.ebay.com/itm/STAR-WARS-FIBREGLASS-BIKER-SCOUT-HELMET-FULL-SIZE-1-1-SCALE/131966010347?_trksid=p2046732.c100040.m2060&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107095009%26meid%3De488ffcbc505464f8bf6fb174be01b28%26pid%3D100040%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D142143418682 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torm Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Me personally I would stay clear of this helm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSoldier308 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 @Torm Thanks! Can I get your opinion on this one? https://www.etsy.com/listing/453868082/star-wars-biker-scout-trooper-helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I was just about to say that that looks like a Cucblack helmet. If so, the one from the etsy shop is the same. They are good helmets for people with big heads. I personally don't see anything wrong with the ebay helmet. You may want to inquire of the seller if it is indeed a Cucblack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSoldier308 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Thank you BikerScout007. I will ask the seller The last helmet I found was a fully assembled SC Deluxe Helmet http://www.ebay.com/itm/Star-Wars-Fan-Made-Biker-Scout-Trooper-Helmet-Replica-ABS-plastic-/282207683729?hash=item41b4e38491:g:QTQAAOSwGtRXzJng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stasz Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I think Mickey's got it. Those deep, sharp indents on the back and the visor and faceplate shape scream Cucblack to me. If I recall correctly it's in the ballpark for what he sold them for. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSoldier308 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Found another on Etsy as well, fully assembled https://www.etsy.com/listing/264577636/star-wars-scout-trooper-helmet-made-to?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_a-accessories-costume_accessories-masks_and_prosthetics&utm_custom1=5923be5d-a300-4d39-976a-094c3ce03529&gclid=Cj0KEQjwyozABRDtgPTM0taCrKsBEiQATk6xDgYhmOQxwc-M8jlYr6A52QeW6x1WfX8PEqvr-yzvSTAaAprl8P8HAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torm Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 There is a great selection of trusted biker helms that can be found under the helmet section on this forum. I wear a Altmanns tho many other trusted brands are available. I would stay away from ebay and etsy when shopping for gear . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 The one in the top post is one of CB's just a older version. That's his V1 with a flat visor. He corrected it with his V2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSoldier308 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 I appreciate the help everyone! Just want to make sure I get the right gear. I have looked at SC, KS, & now CB helmets. Although I wouldn't mind looking for an ALT. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINMAN Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Be very careful, There's a guy selling buckets on ebay that are made out of very heavy fiberglass, The visor bolts are very brittle too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shokokuphoenix Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Thanks for the heads up on what to watch for; I'm trying to pick a good vendor for my helmet and I'm likely going to be going with KS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrofire Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 You can also check out Spike in the Trade Forum. His lids are really nice. There is also a great helmet thread in the armory that talks about the various makers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSoldier308 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 I really like my KS bucket but I cant wait til my ALT comes in. I ended up settling on the Alt and just waiting for it to come in. I just ordered the SC armor kit so the Alt helmet will definitely pair nicely with it!

Dewka Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 stay well away from Cucblack and all of his aliases. I waited 19 months for mine, and was part of that big topic you see at the top of the forum regading Cucblack's many many many failures. I got a Altmanns and sold it when my CB arrived, its a hair bigger, but the Altmanns was a very nice helmet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozeneli Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Ive heard Altmans leans to a bigger melon "like mine" any others like the lone wolf seem to fit better on different sized heads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
