Ummm, they do light up...
I have been waiting for this for quite some time. A bit more then I was hoping for, but I am going to get one. I have been put on a few extra shifts of oncall at work, so hopefully that should help pay for this.

Cool Jeff. Please send in a little review and post back here when you get it. I probably would have done about $400ish - but 600,.......
Sure thing Rico, Sounds like it will be shipping in December, that is a tough month. It has been on my radar for so long, I don't want to pass it up, but agree, I was hoping it would have been more around the 400 range. Just makes me wonder how much the Cylon helmet will be, if they are still working on it.
Now we need to get you a blaster! :) I love mine and I know Rich Coyle is still doing a run.
Yeah, I should really consider getting a blaster. Drop me a PM Bryan as I would be interested to find out what you paid for yours.
Today my Battlestar Galactica Original Series Viper Helmet came in. I have to say I am very happy with it. It is a simple helmet, but they did a great job on it. I was on the fence for awhile and close to cancelling the order since it was taking so long, but happy to have it now. I got number 126 of 500. It also came with Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedicts Autographs.
Very, Very cool!
That's really cool Jeff. Looks like they did a great job with it.
I take my hat off to you. Very nice.
GREAT purchase, Jeff. I saw this announced and though it looked beautiful and it came out great. We need a pic of you wearing it! Save up another few hundred and I can hook you up with a Coyle BSG Blaster pulled from an actual stunt gun with sound and lights! :)
That is so awesome!
NICE! Like the pic when its lit up.

I will make sure to have my Wife take a picture of me wearing this weekend. Just want to get a skullcap of some sort to cover my head :). Once I get this paid off, I will talk to you about hooking me up with a Blaster :)
Thanks all for the comments everyone, makes me feel that I made a good buy :)
