Well then, here's something you can never have.


These look better than the normal sort. And the normal armor is way cool.

Geez Louise, how cool and I can only imagine what it cost.  The article refers to 'buying a nice car' for the cost of the suits.

In the picture where they are all jumping in the air you can see that the guy on the right is wearing white socks.  It ruins the intimidation factor~ :laugh:  I think at least one of them should have been Boba Fet.

I always assumed that the storm trooper armor was unobtainium with a white gel coat

But will the carbon fiber armor stop a bolt from a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range?
