My friend Jeff Ballentine in Atlanta ordered this assemble-at-home Stormtrooper kit. The basic outfit was $450, but Jeff added lots of extras (boots, pauldron, holster, shoulder ammo pack, voice mod) so the final cost will be more like $1000. It took him a few weeks to do all the drilling and piecing together, but the final product looks fantastic!
I asked him if he could hit the broad side of a barn with a laser gun in that outfit. He said it would be hard to do anything accurately while wearing all that get-up. So there's one mystery solved.
If you're interested in ordering a kit yourself contact the people at www.501st.com.

That outfit instills fear! But then when a guy like Jeff takes off the helmet, he'll have groupies around him in no time! I wanna walk around on his arm!
