Imperial Arms' blasters

[Bayushi]

Hi everyone,

I’m in the process of ordering several parts of my “DT project” (armor, undersuit…), and in the meantime I’m starting to look for the rest of the accessories.

I found this producer of blasters, Imperial Arms, that have an apparently good offer of a pack of E-11D plus SE-14r (in a range of prices, depending on the finishing and materials used).

I find strange that it is not listed in the part vendors thread so, before putting my money into something, I would like to be sure they are legit, and why not, have some reviews from other fellow troopers. Any of you know this company? Can you tell me if their blasters are good for the Legion?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Oscar.

 

I have not had any experience with Imperial Arms.  Looking at their products, they seem to be reasonable well made from the photos but it is hard to tell if everything is sized right as the E-11D has a specific size requirement in the CRL.  The other thing to be cautious of is the quality option.  The basic quality has print lines visible and would not be approvable.  The premium would be a must for a 501st approvable blaster.

Thanks Gerald!

Apparently the looks of their products are pretty accurate and neat (specially the premium option, I was aiming for that) but as you say, I should keep also in mind the size, wasn't realizing that it is also very important!

Hey!

Been away from the forums for a while, so if you've already made a decision, feel free to ignore.

I have Imperial Arms blasters (E-11D and SE-14r), and I am very happy with the prints. I ordered prints and did the work myself, so I spent a lot of time getting any print lines filled and finished cleanly. Also, the owner is very friendly and helpful. He is based in FL last I knew, so he might not be available at the moment due to the weather conditions.

The E-11D is great proportionally and the detail is awesome.

I think the SE-14r is a little large (maybe 2-5%), BUT the bolt and trigger function. Which is very cool.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info, Michael!

I finally commissioned both blasters to a fellow colleague here in Spain, but is nice to have feedback on this Imperial Arms option!

Sorry for bringing this topic back from the dead, but I wanted to see @Bayushi how the blasters came along and if you got them approved for your DT.  

My E-11D had an accident and broke in several places and I'm looking into vendors that make them.

Any update on your order? Looking at the same BOGO option myself.

I am still waiting, the owner did sent me a reply on a progression that he had family matter which resulted in a delay. He sent me the pictures but wasn’t able to see the, so will request for it again. Hopefully it will be sent to me by this months… then just have to wait to get the helmet and the armor…

So it’s been over 4 months since you’ve ordered? Their site says 6-10 weeks…doesn’t instill much confidence.

Yeah, it took longer than expected, but I heard some people got them 10 months later, so... I guess I am lucky

The pictures I got from the maker looked great, and he even gave me an additional blaster(small EC-17 with scope).

Now all I have to do is wait for the courier. Hopefully, it arrives safely in Germany with little customs fees...

They do look good. I'm a fair bit away in the process before I'd need to order, so I'll keep an eye on this thread and hopefully things will work out for you...and me.

Yeah, you should! 

If I were residing in North America, Imperial Arms would be good. But in the EU, I think I have to find somewhere else if the customs fee is crazy. 

Also, if you are planning for E-11D level 2 approval, Imperial Arms Blaster doesn't support that. I guess I will have to find the maker of this in the future.

Decided to take a gamble on their BOGO combo. I used the contact form on the site to ask about current time frame, and got an actual reply from Trevor within a few minutes saying 8-10 weeks. That seemed to be an “ok” sign. Also, the price was already reduced, and was able to get an additional 20% off for the Labor Day sale. So my total was $452 with free delivery. Even if it’s 12 weeks, I doubt I’ll be anywhere near finished my armor by that time.

I envy you on that Priceline! I got mine on sale as well when I ordered, but with the shipping fee to Germany, it was a bit more than yours. Trevor is a great guy when you inquire via website chatline. Don't send an email, or it will just be answered by an automatic reply.
