ShadowTrooperJF Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Question: would any of you guys recommend buying a whole Shadowtrooper kit? or should I buy piece by piece? If you suggest a whole kit, where should I go to get it? I haven't heard much about Anovos, or Walt's Trooper Factory. All I know about Anovos is there kit is $700. I just want to know if what I'm getting is used before I commit to it. Any info would definitely help. Thanks! Link to comment

I'd speak with Walt at WTF. He's very well respected and a trusted reseller. https://www.facebook.com/groups/waltstrooperfactory/ Link to comment
Strength Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 You can't buy it piece by piece, you will need to get it as a whole kit. The soft parts are separate of course. You can find the vendors here: http://forum.specops501st.com/index.php?/forum/85-armorsoft-parts-and-where-to-find-them/ It'll depends on your size as to who is better to go with. Link to comment
Allan1313[MBO-CMD] Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Definitely get a kit as a whole. Much easier. Wtf is probably fastest. I have the Anovos and can answer any specific questions you have about that or want to see some pictures. Anovos would probably be a wait of at least 6+ months.

Kylorick[501st] Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Whole kit. Would be happy to help with any advice you need on the build tho mate Link to comment
Mbullen64 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The whole kit, I would recommend. Especially if it's your first build. We bought the Anovos and there is definitely a wait. But, they delivered when they said they would, right down to the wire. As far as the build went. We didn't rush and it was fun. Rare earth magnets are a serious plus during the build. I bought 1/8" diameter magnets. Too Small. A friend loaned us his 1/2" diameter. They worked great. One other suggestion, again if it's your first build, strongly recommend E6000 glue. No lie when they say a Trooper's best friend. Good luck. PS, Don't be afraid to ask for help. Link to comment
usmc03[TX] Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I just received my WTF kit last week. It took about 6 weeks with the holidays and such. I do know they are having an issue with the current stock of black plastic as he is not happy with the quality so it may take a little longer to get a kit now. I unboxed and looked at it all and it's really nice quality to me. Pretty thick and durable looking. I have not made any cuts yet as I am still looking and researching. I am also trying to gather all my supplies I will need for strapping and rigging. Link to comment
DAshley84[TX] Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Definitely full kit. Echoing comments above, have an Anovos kit and love it. Walt is a great source though, and has a loyal fan base due to proven quality Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
