like tires, there's no such thing as a cheap bucket. sure you can by one that doesn't cost much (like the rubies helmet found on clicket.com, ebay, buycostumes.com, halloweenexpress.com, etc), but it won't be long until you want one that doesn't suck. and you start looking more and more around here on tdh and you see one that's accurate and you really like it so you start making the sacrifices to get it. my current boba helmet is actually my third and most expensive so far and i loveses it
