Hi. So wondering, are hard pieces actually NEEDED for any Shadow Guard? Saw a post without the chest plates and stuff on the facebook page just now. Wou;d that qualify for level 1 at least? Also who does a good saber pike fully installed with lights at least?? Thanks for the info on that =]

Salutations.
According to the 501st guide lines, yes the armor is required. Here is the 501st guide lines for the shadow guards costume requirements. http://databank.501st.com/databank/Cost ... tfu_shadow
As to the Saber Pike, I am not certain as who makes a full saber pike. I used a Stunt light saber, some extension pieces and couplers, then used fun foam and epoxy sculpt to get it to the shape I wanted.
If you are wanting just a prop without the blade, you could try Golden Armor.com They make saber pikes, but they run around $135 with the shipping and it's a partial DIY.
I hope this can help you out.

All TFU guards are required to have elements from the PS3 and XBox versions of the game. These would include the models with the Armor parts. The outer robes you see are based on the design that you see from the Wii Kinnect and are optional accessories.
