Honest question: do you guys inscribe identifiers inside the armor? Some way to look it up and find the owner?

Only an epic piece of shit would do this. That's how you earn an eternity being slowly digested by the Sarlacc.

They saw the totes and probably thought they were steeling tools that they could sell or pawn easy.

Worked at a costume store. There are assholes who would not give a shit. Like they'd literally run over children for amusement on Halloween.

Knowing ATL, that stuff is long gone. On the up side, some crack head is riding around on a Barbie bike wearing a storm trooper costume.

The suit is a screen accurate replica. The actor in it doesn't have anything to do with that.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Parts of it are not screen accurate, most notably the knees.
