Aren't you the same newb bashing the guys who know a lot about Vader on RPF and who were the ones discovering some of the small details also present on the best Vader props and helmets? You might want to be more careful before categorizing people. And take it easy before you hurt yourself.
Dont understand your post quite right, but yes, i am the "newb" who is tired to read from the "vader experts" but it was never my intention to "categorizing people" here nor RPF....also im the "newb" who TRIED TO HELP YOU TO GET YOUR LEGEND on R.S. when you were shout loud on all forums because of the shipping cost to your country, remember?... so, im not as bad as you might think, you are the one who is categorizing me. So my advise for you Jkno: If you dont get the full picture, please stay away. Dont fight other peoples war.
Peace¡¡¡

I do get the full picture and don't need your advise, thank you. I also read the member replies to your puerile post on RPF (start reading on from #355). Maybe indeed no one is as bad as we may think but unfortunately some do act like that.
As for trying to help international members (NOT JUST ME) get the Legend I thank you for that, but there were others helping international members getting them too, so you are not alone doing benevolent acts - maybe it was your interest as an international member too, who knows...
That's assuming they're already milking us for extra, that could go to another base though isn't it? I hate to pontificate how much the license cost, or the expense of getting the mould, or making a new one, or production. No doubt if they provided 2 bases, we'd have paid more to cover the added cost.
Regardless, it appears there are some good options out there to fashion a smaller base, that looks nice and doesn't cost a fortune. I suspect they anticipated most people would like to get a cover for this, and gave us an excellent base for those ends. Hopefully they'll sell an acrylic cover to fit soon, as they have on some of the other pieces.

That could be the case, but a regular eFX stand could only came in this case with the base itself, no need for the rod and upper holder. Also from what I recall the ROTS Vader helmet came with a regular MR stand, not bigger and still was sturdy enough to hold it.
The acrylic holder sold be eFX might be more expensive than the one you can make locally. Personally I will display my Vader helmet inside a glass door cabinet so no need for the huge base.
As for those of us who have other center pieces in the collections like shocktrooper_au said, we might prefer to have our display differently. I'm not the only one asking for a separate stand to be available, even without the Star Wars logo on it, thus no need for eFX to pay license fees to anyone.

Anyway one of the things I noticed here and on a couple other forums is that some people cannot comprehend the idea that not everyone has the same opinion as them (and I'm not talking only about this particular topic). Thus they go by the idea: "you are with us, or you are against us", even though this is not the case. Diverse opinions is what make a forum great.
The fact that personally I prefer a DL helmet with all its warps and rough painting, or that I prefer a wonky accurate RS Prop Masters Stormtrooper helmet instead of a fiberglass idealized one, or that I also fancy a smaller base, is my own opinion, and should be taken as it is, and nothing else. But some feel offended by different opinions thinking it is a personal attack to their own tastes. I doubt eFx or other companies need us to be their defense, they can take care of themselves without any problem.
Thanks Jay. Indeed, I got a Brian Muir signed plaque. I talked to the man by email, he was great!
He signed his book and the plaque and enjoyed my present sent to him a lot LOL

oh really???,...so he wanted to buy an efx Vader legend helm???,...
and he says in every forum that "if I collected vader pieces I would buy a fan made one!!"
i just looked at his cluttered collection and he have more than 15 vader collectibles in there,...that varies from sideshow 1:1 bust; gentle giant statues, cheap sabers and toys,...and he says he doesn't collect vader things,...
probably he spends so much time with his head shoved up Sith lord's butt that he don't see how he contradicts himself all the time!!,...

Not worth to lower myself to such a post. Go your merry way.
The clique of "Vader Experts" are some of the worst people in the hobby.

Maybe but some of them are the reason we got the eFX Vader helmet. Take Gino for example, he is a Vader specialist or expert as some like to call them. Then there is Jez from StarWarsHelmets, who also helped the community a lot. And there are others who did good. And of course there are some who did bad. But to put them all in the same bowl just because they dare to say something against eFX I'm not sure is the thing to do. They thrive for perfection in their quest. If that is good or bad or just OCD is not our job to say.

of course not,..I just caught u,,...so let me refresh your memory,...something u posted in another forum,..and i've seen in other forums too,..
,...and now Charles Vader says u wanted him to help u to get an eFX Vader legend,.,..and u have many vader items in your collection,..yet u say you are not a vader collector,..
so yeah,..u don't want to lower your high self but u forget what u write,...
I'm not including Gino in that. First off, he's not part of the "clique". In fact, he's considered an outsider among them. And he was personally heavily involved in bringing the first and only official ANH helmet replica to market. Like it or not, he now has credibility and pedigree that his detractors will likely never have.
Also, my problem with this group of vocal clowns isn't that they "thrive for perfection". In fact, I believe that motivation is secondary (at best) to their desire to be known as THE EXPERTS. It's all about them.
That is the kind of stuff that often sours this hobby.

I'm not sure Gino is perfect either. Neither of us is. I know that some people love him, and he is seen by some as the second Messiah. Everyone has his faults, him included - I even heard he banned Brian Muir on his forum. I respect him for his knowledge as I respect the others for theirs. But that is it. When your entire life is dedicated to the C scar then indeed there is a problem. Life is more than a prop, not matter what prop it is.

Alright, last warning to tone down the insults. We all have our opinions as to which items we like and why and we all have every right to those opinions and every right to change our opinion at a moments notice. Thanks in advance.
