This is actually what's happening There are 2 licensed companies that have plans to release full trooper armor in the near future: Rubies and Museum Replicas (NOT Master Replicas). I think preliminary pics of each have surfaced, and initial impressions are not very good. So there may technically still be a market for Andrew Ainsworth's product. The "from original molds" aspect is largely debatable, his legal ground is VERY shaky, but I haven't heard anything denying that his products are of a very high quality.
