What are the grades for stormtrooper helmets?

[G-man]

Hi,

Just wanted to get my facts straight before getting a helmet. I have been doing a bunch of reading on the costumes and helmets but I want to get it from you guys. What are the grades of the stormtrooper helmets? I have red about the FX, AP & TE. What is the best one to get? Also, What about the Master Replica Helmets, CE Stunt and LE? Can we use them for our costume? I understand the stunt version was for the background troopers and had the green lenses and the Hero had the dark tinted bubble lenses, right? I finally have the funds together to start putting my costume together and want to do it right. I know everyone here has said that ebay is expensive so can someone point me in the right direction to get my armor at a good price?

Thanks All,
Scott J.

There are several factors in which helmet and armor are best for you. Just talking helmets the hierarchy runs something like this:

FX < MR CE < A.N.H.v2 < RT < AP < TM < TE2

Keep in mind the ANHv2 is an over sized but fairly accurate helmet. The MR LE is nice, but is way to expensive for what you get. Also the FX is being reworked and the v2 should be out in a couple months.
