Where's your source from? So, basically no more restock?
If true then maybe these helmets (boba, kylo, trooper) were only for Halloween not for Christmas shopping

A search of targets in WA shows them in stock at multiple locations. At least 6 different stores. Maybe I'll go out and by a dozen tomorrow lol. I'm just starting a paint up of one right now. Might need some back ups.

Yeah if I have time I'll drive around the nearby ones and see what they have. Maybe I can make some available for the ones that can't find them.

That would be incredible, especially for those in another country!
Many seem pretty desperate for an affordable bucket.

So far ive covered about 85 miles of interstate 5 in Wa. 6 targets all said they had stock on line....none with product until my last stop. If i am hearing this correctly, unbeknownst to these target employees i am getting the last 2 in stock in western Washington?? Really? Its hard to believe that may be true. Smh.

What was wrong? Did you already get rid of the two helmets?

No I had one guy say he wanted one and I tried to message him and screwed it up. I still have both of them.

I spraypainted over my visor, because I was planning on replacing it. What's the most effective way of removing the visor?

Just take sharp scissors cut it out. It will crack and break. Then just carefully break out those pieces as close as you can to edges. When you get all out file the edges flat with file. Then just smooth edges with 600 - 800 till you have it where you want it. Took we like 15min. Start to finish, best way by far. Saw it in an earlier post. Careful filing not put to much pressure on the mandibles they fill be vulnerable with no visor.

well the employee was right. I just came back from my Target and asked a employee about the "buy 1 get 1 free " sale but it was not for none of the helmets.
Then he gave me the bad news. All the helmets have been discontinued, and even showed me the info on his portable scanner.
I thought it was just rumors but unfortunately its true.
So, I recommend you guys buy the helmets if you see them, cause if you don't, there be no more, especially when they well sell out for Halloween.
But I was able to pick up the last Fett helmet. They also had 1 Trooper, 2 Vader and 2 Kylo helmets. In person the Kylo Ren helmet is amazing, and would loved to have also bought that helmet but could only afford the Fett helmet at the moment. But would have rocked if that sale also reflected the helmets

I went back to target's website to see if you could still order the helmet and it's out of stock.

Well, after 7 years of being out of this scene, this Target helmet dragged me back in!! 
I sold my ROTJ display
and all my costumes to get our '99 Mustang GT because I was having a midlife crisis back in '07.
lol:
.
I want to get back into costuming and this helmet will be great for me doing a custom Mandalorian.
You new members don't know me on here, but if your an old timer here, you will remember me..:cool
Lynn TXP 0369 is BACK!!

Here is how I attached my visor in my MSH and MSH2 helmet back in the day, 
and I will probably do so again in this helmet. It is a proven method I did many years ago and is similar to the movie helmet.

I can't believe you guys are complaining about this helmet's plastic being thin and not that great, the visor sucks, so I give you that one.
But I bet most of you guys have never had a ANH Stormtrooper helmet made out of the original movie plastic. I have with my old MG ANH trooper helmet and that plastic is lousy, this helmets plastic is better then what the real ANH movie Stormtrooper helmets were made from, I can promise that one.
I have worked with and trooped in the '95 DP's the good white ones, MSH, MSH2, and Mystery helmets and this helmet has a ton of potential!!
We no longer have the disposable income like we used to have pre kids and house, so I can no longer drop $2-4K on a costume like we used to be able to, so this helmet is perfect for me getting back into this.
