New Build (First Build): ROTJ or ESB? Opinions Wanted.

Well. What can I say? It really comes down to which one you like more. I like ROTJ because he just seemed more grungy to me. I liked that. Don't get me wrong both are super cool and one day I may make the ESB version (WAY down the road). I would ask yourself a simple question, which movie did you like him better in?
 
I like both but I would choose ROTJ because of multiple colors. . . Red gauntlets, colourful jet pack. But keep in mind that the jet pack with all the colors may be harder to paint! I also like the weathered look of his suit in ROTJ as well. I like the lighter color with all the sand stains and smut marks! The one thing of ESB though is the bucket. I really like the colors of the ESB version better but overall I favour ROTJ more. I also like the ESB cape better than ROTJ. Hope this didn't confuse you more. In the end it is what you like best! Keep in mind though 30th Anniversary of Return Of The Jedi is coming soon and it would be a good way to celebrate by completing a ROTJ by 2013! Good Luck!
 
I may get flogged for saying this here, but as a massive fan of ESB, in my humble opinion, you have to go with an ESB Fett. The "death" of Fett in RoTJ is such an atrocity. The way he was takenout so was poorly conceived, that I just cant look at the RoTJ Fett the same way ;( Again, in my opinion so please don't put a bounty on my head ;) The RoTJ Fett is much more colorful though.

You could have the best of both worlds with a ROTJ SE! As stated before, the ESB Helmet is awesome! But the ROTJ gauntlets and Jet Pack are equally as awesome! I'd consider a ROTJ SE personally. It's a choice I made, and don't regret it at all...
 
I know I'm in the minority but I'm not a fan of 'Boba Fett and his Amazing Technicolour Dream Jetpack' from rotj. I know it's how it was originally intended with the Pre-pro's and it does give the impression that it's been cobbled together from other parts which is cool but I just prefer the single colour of the ESB jp. Dunno why.

I also prefer the ESB flame thrower, it's more intricate then the rotj. Plus the ESB Fett doesn't scream like a girl......he just stands about more. ;p
For those reasons and because my favourite SW movie is ESB I choose ESB fett.
