Topic: cool Boba motorcycle helmet!

Did anybody else see this??  Now that's sweet.

Thats so coool!!!!!!!

Do you own that?

BD

I wish!  I'm thinking about ordering one tho.

that is sweet, i almost want to buy a motorcycle just to have an excuse to buy one of those.

Moving this to the Collectibles forum, since it's not as much fitting for "observations, opinions, and ideas surrounding Boba."

Where would you order it from?

Yeah man could you post a link to where you can get one.

*EDIT* Ok guys if you go *HERE* you can get the contact details of the guy that has the helmet, if you e-mail him he can organise it for you. I've sent him an e-mail I'll let you know how it go's.

Wow nice thats cool :P.

hey when you get a reply...how much is it and does he have anymore?

I got a reply, I just need to send my helmet size so we can get things rolling, I'll post again when I get the price.

I Want!

*while waiting humms the Star Wars theme Jeopardy style* i wonder if their is a suit that goes with it. that would be sick.

I got an e-mail back last night and the helmet is going to cost me US$300 including freight. :D

ouch, thats a heavy hit in the pocket... contemplate on this i must.

It's still cheaper than a carded Fett.  And it's unique.    :D

Just an update, work has started but due to the amount of work that goes into creating this work of art it probably wont arrive until after christmas. I'll try to post pics when I get it.;)

Right on.

That is so cool. My hubby's going into cart racing, maybe I should buy one for him... or it could be my helmet :D I like the sound of that better.

holy crap thats the most awesome thing Ive ever seen! sike its not but its really cool! Id really love to get on a nice Slave 1 Harley and ride it and BECOME A BOUNTY HUNTER AND HUNT POEPLE DOWN ON MY HOG!!! YEA!

....................just as soon as I learn how to drive..........hahah

TW

That is freaking awsome!

I can't believe it took me so long to get here...that is sooo cool!!!  Did you get the helmet yet, Jaster?

Shoud be geting it around the end of the month.:D

I guess this guy's not only doing the Fett helmets, but plenty more now.  Found this quite by accident, and recognized the helmet from here.  HAHA.  Pretty cool.

Enjoy.

man that thing is so sweeet.....i wounder how much is it i would bye it

I actually like the gray helmet better.  But, of course, that's the color scheme I like for the Mandalorian helmets.  Still pretty cool, though.

That is just so funky :D if I had a motorbike then I would have that for sure :)

before the dark times dot com? that sounds like a harry potter site. awesome helm, btw.

I think the names comes from the one line in the movies that Ben Kenobi says when he's talking about the jedi to Luke in a New Hope.
Back on topic,I think i'd look better with an actual antenna instead of it painted on. Kinda impractical for a motorcycle helmet i guess.

You are right it is from A new hope, just after Luke has met up with Obi Wan and they are talking at his wee home.

The antenna would look funky but not only would it be impractical but depending on what it is made of it could be dangerous.

oh yes, i completely forgot about that part.

I know this is completely off topic, but that's also where Dark Horse Comics get the title for one of the series they're currently doing, "Star Wars: Dark Times."  Takes place between Episodes III and IV and covers the "dark times" that Kenobi refers to.  But, that's for another thread.

:-p

u know, it caught my mind that BFFC could also stand for Best Friends Forever Club. lol.

That is off-topic, and therefor spam.

I'll probably try to get one of the helmets eventually.

WOW--oh yeah I'd definitely want the Boba one!  Even the grey/red Mando version is too cool!  Add some flames to the skull and someone could pretend to be Ghost Rider lol  Those are great!

That  is alsome!

Now I am gonna buy a street bike so that I can have a reason to buy that helmet!  :p

Wow, glad to see this topic is still rolling along!  I go by VG here, but this is FETT from beforethedarktimes.com-  And yes, those of you who posted that the name of the site is from ANH, you are dead-on!  As for comparing the name to Harry Potter, I think Harry's got the one-up on being a "bit" more cheezy    :D

The Boba cycle helmet has definitely generated alot of interest, especially since mine (the one in the pics) was the first one ever done!  One of the folks here (whom I think goes by Jaster Mereel ) is waiting eagerly for his as we speak..  it went out last week to him and I'm pretty sure it went by air mail, so he should have it at anytime.  Can't wait to hear his thoughts, as I've owned mine for over a year now and can't bring myself to wear it while riding!!  It's too sweet!

If anyone has questions about the helmet or anything at all, feel free to ask- I'm always lurking   :D

Best Regards,

"FETT" (vintagegamer here)

I'm always glad to help bring the "inner rider" out from within others lol.  It's a great hobby as long as you're CAREFUL!!

Well I'm into Dirtsports so I think I can handle a street bike. They look like so much fun!

I don't even own a motorbike nor ride one but I WANT THAT!

My wife hates my bike- but nonetheless the bike stays..   :D

VG

Funny thing is I HAVE a bike, and can't even bring myself to wear MINE while riding  :D  It's too much of a work of art.  The idea came to me while visiting a car show in Baltimore MD..  A guy had a huge display of helmets painted like the Terminator Endoskeleton, Predator, Comic Book characters, and a ton of other great stuff- even the visors were painted! But alas, no SW..   I was like, "man a FETT helmet would simply kick @$$.."  the rest is History..

VG

They really are- the only thing I recommend prior to buying one is learning every back and secondary road you can find near your home or work.  It's simply not worth it today to ride on the main roads and highways... too many folks are doing any of the following while driving: texting, talking on the phone, drinking, doing drugs, yelling at their kids, watching DVD players, the list goes on...  It pays to know the roads less traveled..

VG

I had the name first :D   Even offered to help them promote the new series when I got wind of it..

VG

psst- u might wana use the edit button rather than double-posting.

I think that was the most posts from one person in a row i have ever seen! Its a Quadruple post!

VG--great job on the helmet! I too would like to get a bike (well, my BICYCLE I put miles and miles on anyway...LOL) but a motorcycle would be great for me to commute to work and home--really save on gas and it's only 20 miles one way.  That helmet would be another reason to ride!! lol
I just recently took an airbrushing class up in Chicago, so I'm hoping to one day put my talents to use like that.

Be sure to show us your work FF79!

As for my mondo list of posts, sorry about that- I didn't even think to consolidate them all b/c I responded then *CLICK*, responded then *CLICK*.  Must have been from when I hit my head walking into the Slave I  :D

VG

I talked to Jaster briefly, he got the helmet- stay tuned for pics and feedback!

*golem voice* I wants it!!!!!!!
