I'm well over $2000......

I just dropped $1200 on my new FG helmet and JP this past X-mas alone..... and I have done well over $1500 (includes helm. and JP) in upgrades in the past year alone.

I always sell my older pieces before or after I get my new ones so it helps finance it, if I didn't, I would have close to $3500....

Sad thing is..... With everything I have sold over the past tree years, I could have had my Jango finished insted of just STARTING!!! :( waaaaa!!

I sold 2 sets of gauntlets, a full set of body armor, knee armor, a JP, and helmet.
I feel sick now.....
Someone kick me...... :p

I'm about $800. And I expect to spend another $1300 on the costume. Not including the Webley which will run about an additinal $1200. But my suit is mostly metal with a lot of little machined parts that I'm making so I'm adding those costs in as well. -Mark

Oo! I have to post! How many times can I say how cheaply I made mine for? I can't help it, I love not spending money. My whole original costume was made for about $125 (I made everything but the helmet). I've since re-done jet packs, bought another helmet, etc., and that puts it up to a little under $200 now. Slave Leia was like $30. Jeff's Imperial Guard stuff costs MUCH more than my Fett stuff. My armor's not accurate, but it looks good in person, is detailed, and it fits my size well. I'm retiring it, though, and plan on re-doing everything just for fun. (Yeah, I did say fun, I actually love doing this stuff and find it very calming --except for the first time I tried to do a visor...but NOW that's a VERY simple thing.) Anyway, I'm retiring it because I never liked the paint job I did on mine, but I can't bear to change it now. It's just something I've been through a lot with, like an old teddy bear that has it's eyes worn off and patches of fur missing. Yeah, I know that is an odd sentiment towards a costume prop...

Besides, I want to make two at once...and paint one bright pink and be Barbie Fett.

Um....THROUGH your finger? Details...I have several gashes in my left hand from exacto wounds, when I was trimming my helmet, but I just let the mofo's bleed and clot. Yes, you see, I don't need a Fett suit to be a badass. :D

I used to have pics of my finger. I actually sliced through the skin and muscle. I went to work about ten minutes later and I could not get it to stop bleeding. I was serving at Red Lobster at the time, so they sent me to the hospital, saying something about it being unsanitary. I did get a few weird looks when I was telling friends I cut myself making a Boba Fett costume.

Good grief.....I'm about to start down that long road to a dwindling bank account by looking for a good helmet as my first piece.

After reading these posts, I think I've lost a little of my enthusiasm for this project!

Then again, maybe I can justify the cost by looking at all the money I've spent on CD's, videos, and DVD's.......

Okay I'm back on the project :)

Good grief, so it was like a quarter inch deep? That must have hurt like hell.

It's easier to justify if you don't add it up. So I will refrain and try not to think about it. Jango on a budget I think is going to approach the grand mark. Boy that rubies pajama outfit is looking suitable right now.

So, (bringing up an earlier post of mine) does anyone know how much any of the original suits cost to make?

Still curious as to how the price of our suits compare to the prices of the originals... :)

I don't keep track of the costs. I don't even want to know. More importantly, I don't want my wife to know.

At last count I was over $1,350 on my Jango, and I still have the nice, pricey jet pack to go...


But, it will be well worth it in the end!!!
