I have a been looking for a replacement bucket for my current FX one and I have been coming across alot of master replica collectors edition helmets. I was wondering if anyone here had any opinions on them compared to other buckets (like size, durability, cost, ect) I would appreciate them.

I've only heard comments from others who say no. Other than that, I know little about them and don't know if that's an accurate statement.

There have been a ton of accurate TK buckets popping up all over the RPF lately (AP, TE, etc). You might take a look over there if you're looking to upgrade.

I have had a chance to check out the MR CE helmets and I find them to be pretty nice. They are smaller than an F/X, and more shapely like the ANH helmets, with one major difference. They are perfectly symmetrical. They do require a small mod as there is a seam that needs filling along the "chin" area. The only reason I won't get one is because the F/X is still the only helmet that fits my melon.

Speaking of the RPF, I have tried to make an account on there multiple times and it wont let me. Do you have to be an official member of the 501st to access it or what? I have looked all over that website and could not find out how to create an account . All of the MR helmets I have seen have been much cheaper than an AP or TE bucket, is that because of what it is made of or because of its quality?

Zach, I'll give you a call tonight.

My bucket is an MR, if you want to check it out next troop we both are at.
