[mattman1138]

How much, on average, is everyone spending on these? Thanks!

Depends on your requirements, do you want it to go phew phew?

Not really lol. Would be cool but I'm already planning on making steam come out of the jetpack, and the helmet antennae go up and down so probably not

I bought mine for something like £250-$320, it was a fully built ready to troop kit, once I received it I decided it needed to go phew phew, something you will probably want yourself if your going for all the fancy electronic bits (it's kinda cool and the young lings love it) . Electronic kits are available from blast FX, Jc27 amd even the hasbro fett blaster can be cannibalised.
My blaster came from a UK maker called Sidewinder who also retro fitted the electronics. However there are us suppliers such as jbdubz or Hellhounds who recently developed a rubber con freindly EE3. If you want a more realistic version hand schab does I bronze cast version from what I remember.

I don't offer a kit for the EE-3, but it is something In am thinking of working on.

Amazing! Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. I'll have to reach out to a few of the folks you mentioned.

Thanks for the heads up. Just saw your thread. I'll keep you in mind when I'm ready to buy one. Just out of curiosity, what is your completion time?

I think my found parts build probably runs to about £2500 or there abouts.

The replica made by Sidewinder is the best I've seen, by a country mile.

Yea I've been looking at sidewinder's build. Thanks for the response!

There are others out there but he hit the nail on the head long ago. I don't even think the finished model is all that pricey, as these things go; I'm thinking in the £300 area with an unfinished kit being less. Every piece is as close as you can get, with one minor exception but that no one else agrees with me on, so the most accurate representation out there.

I'll have to reach out and see what the finished build costs. It looks like it doesn't come with the flash tube so not sure where to get that one lol

 

[intwenothor]

I thought he did do tubes. Ask him and he'll surely tell you.

 

[sutt_hero_rotj]

Sidewinders does come with tube

 

[sutt_hero_rotj]

BEST kit out there IMO

Weird, his thread description says it doesn't have it. I'll reach out. Thanks for the replies everyone!

This was delivered to me back at the end of summer with full kit. Unless something has changed I’m not aware of, it should be included. Hope this helps!

Interesting. Thanks for the headsup. How long did it take you to get the kit once you ordered?
