Great Lakes Garrison & Base

I found this costume on ebay going for about $120. Is it at all worth it????

The chest box looks a bit shaky, but if the rest is worth it, it would be a cheap start to get most of a costume.
Thanks for the input,

I am not real good on TIE pilot costumes, so some of resident TIE guys can voice their opinion too.

But from first glance:
- Belt is wrong, that is not the correct buckle for the belt.
- The only gloves I see pictured are the latex gloves (which are incorrect). Without seeing the leather gloves I have no clue if they would be correct or not.
- The flightsuit is incorrect as well. Seems to be missing several pocket and collar is incorrect.
- Compad is missing
- Chest box is very inacurate. You would need to replace the whole thing.
- It is completely missing the chest and back armor, as well as the shoulder straps.

I can't say much on the helmet as I don't really know the differences between helmets.

But there would be a lot of stuff to completely replace on that for it to be 501st approvable. I would save your money and put it towards more acurate items.

Try visiting http://www.jrsdetachment501st.org/ for all your TIE Pilot needs. They can get you pointed in the right direction.

Another place you could check would be http://www.omegawing.net . They have a lot of references on their site and they can point you in the right direction.

I would not approve that costume as is.

The listing is no longer available so I can't rip into it like it sounds like I wanted to...
