Where to get a good Stormtrooper costume?

[blinkythewalrus]

I have recently become lusting after a Stormtrooper Costume after watching the Star Wars trilogy a few weeks ago. I am aware you can get them (A friend has one)and I have to questions-
1-Where can I get a really good one? Like a proper, deluxe edition one?
2-If I were to get one now would it be good for use later on in life? I am still growing, you see. (Basically 15)
I would be really grateful if someone could help me out!

You could make one. That way, it'd fit you very well. However, if you're still growing, then maybe not. But the actual, 'proper, deluxe edition one' costs a little under $1k. If you Google it, you'll probably find one. Maybe you should ask your friend where they got their one?

I'd imagine that if you do grow significantly in the next few years, then it wouldn't be such a good idea to get the armour now. Although it's all split up into different components, so as long as each still fit, I guess it'd look fine. Just a little further apart, maybe, if you're taller. I can't exactly picture it in my head right now.

If you're 15 I'd recomment get a jedi robe instead. Proper stormtrooper costumes are extremely pricey and it would be a shame if it wouldn't fit anymore in two years or so.
Of course, your decision.

To get one I would recommend google-searching your hometown/nearest bigger city for a Star Wars shop. If someone knows, then it's them.

I thikn they got 2-3 on Tradera.se but that's a Swedish site and i don't think they'll send the stuff outside Sweden but try E-bay.

I recommend going to www.501st.com They are a group of people who dress up as the Empire for most cons I know of. You will almost always see them there. There are resources there and well you can get an idea of how people make there costumes! Hope this helps
