That's great! We try to have an armor party every six weeks or so. January and February are going to be filled with our current prop build days in preparation for our Airshow event in El Centro.
Be sure to keep an eye on the forum for SDCC stuff. There's a lot we do there!
The armor made by Anovos and sold to exclusively to the 501st was a "marketing kit" and acknowledged that it was NOT final. That said--any differences are likely to be pretty minor.
Hi there Daniel! There are some low cost options, although they're not necessarily stormtrooper. Tusken raiders, Jawas, Imperial Crewman, etc--they are all 501st eligible costumes!
We have an armor party coming up on November 15th. Perhaps you'd like to join us and we can help you with the photos, plus you can start meeting folks!

Welcome Derek! our SCG brothers and sisters are always welcome to troop with us!
We didn't have any plans for the con in Oceanside. We've got an MS Bike event going on Sunday though!
Some Hasbro sabers are approvable, but for Maul--they want the brushed aluminum/metal. The old master replicas sabers that are the best models are still found on ebay.
Welcome Justin! We do have 1 possibly 2 armor parties going in November.
I helped my husband make all his Darth Maul items. The hardest thing to source are the boots! The original ones Ray Park wore are no longer available but there are some good substitutes out there.
Have you gotten onto the Sith Lord Detachment forums yet? They have an entire forum section devoted to Darth Maul!
Hi there Joe!
As a matter of fact, we do have one coming up on October 11th at my house.
If you're interested, message me here and I can get you details.
If you'd like to meet some of us first, we'll be at the Padres game this Saturday!
