Thinking about an Imperial costume to compliment my Jedi...

Post by Sakic Jade »

Are the Supreme Edition costumes good or are they not official enough? I was looking at the Royal Guard and thought that the supreme edition looked pretty good, but wasn't sure. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks!

was thinking the same thing and discovered they are not. None of the Supreme Eds. are automatic without some sort of mod. I believe one of the complaints about the Guard is the material being a bit thin. Someone else can chime in and give more input, but I'd advise a trip to the 501 forums. I'm thinking for the cost you'd be a lot more satisfied going with something else.
Sorry Lord Vader but the ability to destroy a planet IS significant.

Anything made by Rubie's is not approvable without A LOT of work. If you're interested in a Royal Guard, you can make a way more accurate one for around the same as the Rubie's.

Are there any guides out there to making these? Thanks!

Hey Patrick

Good seeing you at the cougars last night, I take it your first troop was a blast and now you want to join the darkside :mrgreen:

I really have no clue about royal guard, but I would imagine that you'll find all the info you need here http://www.forcepike.net/

Plus I'm sure those who have the costume already will chime in eventually. I believe heather aka Mizunomiko has a guard she put togther last year.

Hope this helps

Thanks! I'll check it out. I've always wanted to join the dark side just need something that doesn't take as much room. I had a blast at the game! Great to meet Fellow star wars fans! Can't wait to troop again!
