If you don’t have the energy or time to go through the DIY method of becoming a Stormtrooper, Firebox has you covered. They have on sale a Shepperton Studios Stormtrooper Armour. Shepperton Design Studios were the team behind constructing the outfits for the original Star Wars movies, all those years ago. And because of this, you’re getting something special. The helment included in the costume is created using the original movie moulds from 1976. The entire outfit is an exact 1:1 replica of those used in the original filming of StarWars movies.
Although becoming a hechmen for the Empire doesn’t come cheap. You’ll be shelling out £1299.95 (roughly $2,439.88) to get your cosplay on.
I want a HUGE codpiece on mine for that amount!
GAWD! I need money.
You can make your own set of armor that’s better for a lot less than that price.
I just wish that someone would mass produce a quality set for the people who do not want to make it on their own. I would pay up to 300 dollars without a question to get it. I would prefer to have clone trooper armor though. That is just me. I bet if this was within reach price wise they would make a killing selling these things. You don’t even have to me an uber geek to want a set at a good price. Heck that would have halloween covered for me for like life.
Was it just me or did the clone troopers on the Wookie homeworld in Epsiode III look a lot like Master Chief from Halo.
This site has some at cheaper prices. Not sure of the quality. Still way too pricey however. http://www.starfortressproductions.com/swtheempire.html

Shoan – you will never get a set of armor for $300. The helmet alone is around that price.
Rico, you are such a sci-fi geek, but we all love you for it
