Any interest in an Arena Jet Pack kit for around $200?

UPDATE 2-17-2004

I have pictures of the finished prototype arena pack at the link below (last 6 pics). The only thing missing is the little vent cover on the bottom and more weathering, but you get the idea. Sorry about the orientation of some of the pics:

I should be able to accept orders soon. I expect it to be about $200 plus shipping.


************************************************

Just gauging interest- any interest in nicely accurate Jango arena pack with all the details for around $200. I am thinking about developing one similar to my standard pack (which you can see at the link below).

As with the standard pack, this one would feature vacuformed styrene body with resin details.

There's always interest for a product like this.

I am trying to focus my normall short attention span on this- I will get some pics up of a prototype as soon as I can.

Mark

OOOOOO light bulb im interested... but im a little short. only 120 in my jango fund.... poop but im STILL realy interested!
matt

I might be interested, especially if it's anything like your other pack.

Count me in!! I am building a Jango AND a Boba so please remember my name! I will keep an eye on this thread. Looking forward to it.

I'm in depending on the anticipated creation date.

I've got a deadline date for costume completion of April... so I'd need it within a few weeks prior for painting to my custom colors.

Any idea if that is too much of a rush or is that possible?

I'd be interested in it :-) I second that April deadline too.... if it's possible, that'd be fantastic!

I am hoping to start on this in the next few weeks, so it should be fine for an April deadline. Most of the molds for the pack are already done since they share the same basice body as the regular Fett pack.

Mark

I am interested! It would be much easier to travel with a stubby than a full!

:lol :lol

Most excellent. Keep me posted and I think we'll be able to do some business.

Here is where I am at on this:

I have started building an arena pack with my standard jet pack body plus my prototype nosecones, etc. This way I can take pictures to show everyone here. After I have done the buildup and pictures, I will be ready to mold the arena pack-specific parts if there are enough people interested.

I hope to have pics by this weekend.

More to come!

Mark

You know I'm interested....or maybe you don't, it's been a while since we talked :)

Interested too, I might be.

I've actually been looking for a standard one that's either for sale in kit form or finished though i really want to put it together myself, what is the price on one of your standard ones?

See update at the top!

Mark

How much does your standard pack weigh?

Wes

Excellent work as usual, MB. I'll be scraping my pennies together for the next week, so FOR SURE, count me in for 1. Are the caps made out of resin still? Also, does it assemble alot like your current pack? I'm always up for an adventure, getting ready to prime and paint the other pack I got from you, so I'll be jonesing for another JP to assemble.

Yes- the caps are resin.

Yes- it will be very similar in construction.

Mark

Looking good Bradley --- so what's the updated ETA on getting these rolling out?

wow...im kinda new in here but definetely want one, remember me!!!!!

Hey Mark,

That Jet Pack looks AWESOME! Can't wait to get one! :-D

--Anakin

This looks really good, and the stubby works better for me! I'm interested!

Jen

Interested, I am also.

got me in also

I expect to be able to ship in about 6 weeks if I can get at least 5 people to pay up front. That will allow me to do some of the final molds for the rocket cones and the new thrusters. The final price will be $200 plus shipping. Shipping will be $15 within the US and Canada. Overseas will be a little more depending on where.

If anyone would like to jump on board, I can accept paypal payments at mbradley3@cfl.rr.com or money orders (email or PM me for mailing address).

The kit will of course come with complete instructions.

Mark

Crappers - you would catch me when I'm slightly strapped - because I'd definately be more than willing to be a frontrunner for the pack with advanced payment. I'll see what I can scrounge together. Maybe I'll have to get my taxes done mucho pronto!!!

Hey Mark,

I might be able to pay upfront. I know I asked ya this before, but is there any possibility now that the JetPack will be done sooner than 6 weeks? I was kinda hoping to have it ready in time for Empire Fan Fest in April. Lemme know. Thanks!

is any one else going on this. im paying for two on friday.

I'll see what I can do - but an unexpected unemployment in the family has left me a little strapped for pre-payment of larger purchases if its not in installments at the moment.

I might be able to scrounge half this week and the rest in two weeks if that will help. Let me know, and I can send it your way. Thanks! :jango:jet pack

How's this project comin?

I think I can finally add my support ;)



paypal away

will you be making any standard Jet packs any time soon?

the exhaust on the arena stubby is an Australian made "Airwick" air freshener..............don't know if you have them in the U>S>,maybe under another name/brand...but,that's what it is.

No sh*t??...It's really an "Airwick"???
I'm stunned....



(I'm also going down to Coles, right now ;)

very interested

I won't be able to afford this round. My garrison is doing a big 4th of July parade for a city nearby. When are you going to do round two?

Actually, I just saw your pictures. Nice work!!! I would also be interested in a pair of gauntlets. If you could work me in for a two-fer deal, I will start saving up now. Do you have a pair of those nice gauntlets for sale? How close is the Jet Pack and the gauntlets to the silverleaf rub n buff color?

did anyone get theirs that they ordered. i finally got mine with no instructions. if anyone has instrucions can they please send them to me. i got a stubby pack and a reg. pack.

austin

sent you a email MB, let me know if you got it

I received mine....no instructions. I assume it's intended to just go off of pics etc. I asked but had no reply. I haven't had any time to look but the assembly probably won't be too tough. I had a couple broken pieces in my kit also. I THINK I can fix them o.k. the major damage is on one of the thrusters but hopefully some epoxy and bondo will fix it up.....if not, I'll be asking ....again ;) ... but not anytime soon cause I have little time :doh The pieces are pretty thin also. One is cracked cause it's paper thin. I'm sure my other pack is thicker.


Mark, thanks for the kit anyway. It's very cool! If I have problems with the broken pieces, I hope you're there to help out ;)

Mark please email me, jango@slave-1.net

excellent, keep me posted.

You may want to send MB a PM. He recently "returned" to doing fett's and maybe he forgot to send you an email or something like that. Goodluck!
