Cylon armor set on eBay

Post by Red Eye » Sat May 15, 2010 1:46 am

A complete (supossedly made for the production but never used) set of Cylon Centurion armor has showed up on eBay.

A few better quality pictures might be helpful, by the way...

I am not sure if the guy just didn't say it correctly, but at the least poor sentence structure describing what he has. The suit isn't even close to being a Universal made suit, but just a fiberglass replica at best.

Doesn't look like a stuido one, no, but it does look like a nice armor.

I hope its a nice suit cause I bought it. :lol: I really didnt believe it was from Universal Studios, it just looked like a nice fiberglass replica. It was a BUY It NOW of $410, and then reduced to $350. Couldnt pass it up for that price since a fiberglass helmet will nearly run you almost $300. Ill post some detailed pics when it arrives for the scrutiny of the Empire.

You have a Krop suit now don't you? This will make a great suit, at least it looks good in the tiny photos. Congrats on the win, and keep us in the loop on how it comes along.

Great news silver surfer! Like I said, it looks nice. The helmet looks spot on and very smooth. Looking forward to the pics :)

OH - and I noticed you got a sword in there too. Double cool.

BUMP

Got the armor yesterday. Finally. I bought it on May 16 and the seller didnt ship it til May 29, ediot. Anyway its pretty nice armor. It still needs to be finished in some spots and Im missing a few pieces. I am missing 2 bicep bands ( I only have 2 halves) . I hope C.O.R. A. will be so kind as to sell me a few pieces ala carte. :grin: Ill post detailed pics on Friday. From what I can tell its a Kropserkel recast in fiberglass. Its definately not a leftover from 78 like the auction claimed. Im happy with it. Got alot of work ahead of me. :cylongold:

Hey Silver I am taking to LA parts on Thursday to be chromed, and I have extra bicep pieces in the mix. Would you like to buy a pair of chromed ready to use pieces? I don't have a price yet till after the pieces have been inspected.
