thinking about buying from starfortress

I just threw up in my mouth
 
Instead of going into my rant, I'll simply post a photo of fett from the movie, and one of the armor I got from them as it was fresh from the boxes and let you decide. I paid $1600 for it.

i couldnt stop laughing at the boots, are they clown shoes :lol:
my god this is seriously shocking on starfortress part ,best place is trhe trash can for starfortress eh ?? the whole thing makes you look like your putting on weight ,no offense intended but seriously why would anyone go to recasters and alike when the experts are all here,ive seen better boba props on ebay then SFP :cheers dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee SFP dieeeeeeeeeeeee.......
 
I am sorry to hear of this stormshadow. I really hope others read this and pay attention.

That is a huge loss of money, time, and added frustration.

If I can help, please let me know. I really don't know how much can be done with the soft parts to make them more accurate.

:(

No offense taken, I thought the same when I started looking at the details. I bought from them because at the time I didn't know this place even existed let alone makers like Bobamaker etc... I was originally looking for stormtrooper armor and saw they offered Boba, so I went that route. I have since switched almost all my gear which I have posted photos of above. It's still not on par with alot of the people here, but with what I had to work with, I think I made some good replacements and choices.

as just stated, lady, the above photo of the SFP is mine. The only parts of it still in use are the jumpsuit, knees, cod/kidney plate, back/collar plate, ammo/girth belt. (although the girth is about to be replaced) and the helmet (which has been repainted and hopefully to be replaced sometime) Most of the original suit they supplied I have replaced, and I can't say I' miss them.

Sorry !!! LadySewForus i think you misread somewhere but these items are mandosoldier,s not mine ,but hey thx for the compliment :lol:lol:
oooh BTW LadySewForUs can you make a good boba costume softparts ROTJ style ? PM me (y)
 
Yes, I misread that, It is really a shame!

There are many talented vendors here at TDH. Research, Research, Research. Make sure you will get what you expect. And get references!

It is always good to shop around, no matter what you are looking for to make sure you get your best quality, for the price that will fit your budget!!

Cheers
 
Wait a second - isn't SFP the same guy who is wanted by the FBI for alleged child molestation charges, and escaped to the Philippines where his wife is from because it's a non-extradition country?

If so, I think there are far better reasons for not buying from this creep other than recasting or shoddy workmanship.

GG

EDIT: Here, read this thread and I doubt you'll ever consider buying from him again. Pay particular attention to the link provided in reply #13....it's truly disturbing that people like this are a part of our great community.

SFP is pretty much the worst place you could get anything from.

They don't ship for one. It takes forever, and most of what you get is just shoddy junk.


Not worth the headache.

My best advice is just to pick up decent stuff from the people on the board as they do runs and contact people like Man of war, bobamaker, ladysewforus, loanstar, 99centtaco, ruffkin, and russrep-just to name a few-to get the right stuff first.

yeah everyone wants to order a starter costume, but if you want a good costume i think it's better to buy piece by piece instead of buy a full suit, replace, replace, replace and waste that money when you could just have great stuff right away
 
personally I cannot say enough good about bobamaker. I have replaced most of my SFP with his gear and i love every bit of it, of course not saying those made by other members here aren't as good, I went with BM because another Fett in my 501st garrison has his gear and I got to see it first hand.
