Just got off the phone with a nice lady at Shepperton Studios - the folks who made the original Stormtrooper helmets. Apparently they have this Battle Spec helmet in stock and can ship as soon as tomorrow. I'll remain skeptical until I actually see it in my hands - have been bitten once - hope it wont happen again but you never know. Have already sent mail twice but no reply...

I'm excited about this helmet as the Armor FX is just too big - folks who eat sleep and poo Starwars will tell you that the Armor FX just looks wrong and I'm telling you first hand - its wrong! I suppose the person who designed it made it on the large side for folks with large facial parts? Have a look at the comparisons - the Armor FX is the one on the left.
The Battle Spec cost an arm, a leg and a little finger - ended up paying 62,000 yen yen for it.

Was thinking of taking the both of us to Hawaii late Feb - not sure what the weather is like out there at this time of year. Any recommendations?
I'm looking to take flying lessons and enjoy sun sea and sand - or does Hawaii have a rainy season at this tiime of year?

That looks like a pretty nice helmet there Danny.  Hopefully it'll work out better than the last time you order something from a certain someone.  Oh and Danny, that certain someone had posted here in your site.  Just go to your Stormtrooper COSTUMEJUNKIE STRIKES BACK post and you'll see.  Just wanted to share that with ya.  Well, good luck with the helmet.

Isn't spending a lot of money to justify spending a lot of money kind of a circular logic? It will porbably make sense if it's Hawaii though.

take her to the Phi-Phi islands, Thailand. it's really nice there. the water is as clear as glass much better than in Maui in Hawaii and less crowded (since the Tsunami).

"Now, I have about 7 days to make an extremely good excuse for my wife or treat her to something very special seeing as I have already crossed the border by recently buying two Guncannons."

Hahahahaha! And I was just about to ask, "Your wife lets you splash out for all these stuff just like that?" Never mind...

Hi Danny, hi evreybody else!

I'm not really into Star Wars stuff and all but I've to say this particular stormtrooper helmet looks cool, and would look cooler on ME, hahaha! Watcha mean by original helmet, do you mean they did the original one from the movies, or the original release armor set for fans?

Hey i juste ordered some stuff on HLJ, actually a 144 HGUC blue Hazel and a black fine tip GM, I can see the shipping cost with EMS is higher than the items cost! 35 USD to ship in France, if I choose SAL, will it really take a long long time or will it be ok, like two weeks or something?

Thanks folks.

I saw your trooping videos and they were awsome. And I must say that I'm glad you got a smaller helmet. The old one looks alittle bit too big on you. Hope you end up getting it wihout too much trouble.

Have you ever thought about trooping with other people? I can just imagine it. 5 stormtroopers on the streets of japan week 1. 10 more stormtroopers the next week. By the end of the year you can take over japan with you wearing the dark suit and carrying the red lightsaber of course. :P

Hi, Danny. I'm really impressed with your Stromtrooper costume. Your video clip is very funny. I think, you had a  lot of fun to walk around with your suit. I'm a big fan of Kamen Rider Black. Can you tell me where i can buy the suit? 
Thanks Danny. I really like your blog
