From eFX page:

"Our new officially licensed, Legend Edition (Biker) Scout Trooper Helmet will be the most accurate reproduction of this incredible helmet produced to date. As with all of our Legend Edition Prop Replicas, the master molds were made from the original master tools ILM used to make the screen-used helmets. There was no digital scanning or 3D modeling used, only original parts and tooling. We even used an original decal sheet from ILM to make our markings and symbols that are seen on the helmet!

This EFX Legend Edition helmet is made in ABS, just like the original screen-used helmets.

And here is the special bonus for this Direct Exclusive Legend Edition: it INCLUDES the Biker Scout Pistol that was cast from an original, screen-used pistol!"

Also from eFX page regarding THE LIMITED EDITION:

"Our new officially licensed, Limited Edition (Biker) Scout Trooper Helmet will be one of the most accurate reproduction of this incredible helmet produced to date. It has the all the pedigree of our Legend Edition line since the master molds were made from the original master tools ILM used to make the screen-used helmets. As with the Legend Edition, there is no digital scanning or 3D modeling used, only original parts and tooling. We even used an original decal sheet from ILM to make our markings and symbols that are seen on the helmet! You can call this helmet "Legend - Light"!

This original helmets were made in vacuum formed ABS. This EFX Limited Edition helmet is made in high quality, hand-laid fiberglass."

ah ha, so it does come with the blaster. pretty cool.

but like with the Vader legendary helmets. i dont have much confidence that the production pieces will live up to the hype. i dont have much confidence that the weathering will look legit.
specially with the weathering on the prototype (if that in fact is a prototype, could be a production piece) looks like it was sprayed on with a can of spray paint. doesn't look very promising.

Any sense of how these Efx drops go in turns of sell outs? Is this a 9am F5 key event or do I have more time today to think it through.

I dont think this will be a quick sellout. The price point of these will keep it around at least for the day. 500 is alot. a Lower edition size would have made these a quick sellout. IMO

Frobay is right. not to mention what happened with the Vader legend edition with everyone thinking it was legit what EFX was claiming where that was derived from when that went up on PO. but come to find out after they were shipped out that what EFX was claiming the Vader Legend to be, wasn't. so that more than likely will deter those like me who would be locked and loaded to PO this today. wont be.

Having second thoughts on this. After looking at more pics on the EFX website, I'm having trouble justifying 900.00 for this. Seems way over priced.
