Well, a couple of mysterious builders are about to offer some completely overhauled suits on the Robocop Archive.
The pics look very, very promising.
Really hope it will be affordable.

Got a link to these? Or is it a closed forum?
They look really good - interesting!

Indeed. It's not merely a touch up suit, the sculpted a calve I see!!!
Oh so cool and oh so low on funds.

I know that feeling
But I have to say Id be interested in a helmet kit - it looks so cool with such sharp lines! Im not up on the current state of RoboCop props but this still looks like stunning work to me!
Any idea of a price Sir-Round?
I know they said around the same pricepoint as another kit - but I dont know what that is
Thanks again for the links - going to be checking this regularly for developments
Thanks mate!

Well, there's a guy named Milbo offering improved helmets from Britain, but the visor on those is not the way it should be (parallel lines), think they are priced under 100 pounds but not sure.
Bruce Hansing complete suits go for $2000 - $2500 I think (Less on the Bay). Not that bad, but not something I have laying around or something the wife would like me to spend money on as well...
Bruce suits are not that good though, it's a suit, but nothing more than that.
No crispy details like this one.
I sure hope at least the helmet will be under 150 bucks. The guys making it are sorta okay with my idea to get a suit part by part. Sorta paying in terms.
We'll have to see.
Glad you like it!

Looking good, that reminds me I need to collect my suit back. A friend has had it about 2 years now. I was promised back by Halloween

Yeah, well, I finally know who's behind this fab suit overhaul. Online bud from the past.
Helmets are for sale now. If you don't want to join the Robocop Archive but do want a suit or part hit me a pm with details and I'll make sure it will be delivered to the team of geniuses.

Over at the Robocop Archive my user name (is/was) RoboCopSuit if I recall. I can't get logged on anymore after they did a upgrade of some sort.

Well, there was a big unrecoverable crash some time back. But that's years now I think. When was the last time you logged on?
Anwho, I'll contact Johan to see if he can do something with it.
EDIT:
Nope, no RobocopSuit there. Any other suggestions?

It is no big deal, I haven't been to the site in a few years, but I'll resign up when or if I need to. It was a fun site for a while, but I have since moved on. Thanks anyway.

Well, we met there, so it was good for something.
They need friggin' 120 C$ shipping or half for slow shipping a helmet kit. That's a lot...
Damn shipping...

Oih!
Thats a LOT for shipping a lid!!!
I must PM you my details if you dont mind Sir-Round... They are in France right? Perhaps I could sign-up for 2 and ship one on to you...
