Hey,
I'm the artist/AFOL (Adult Fan of LEGO) SIMAFOL who made the suit. I'm really glad you all like it. This is a safer location to talk than Gizmondo, so I'll divulge some specs.

First off, cost. This is about $600-700 worth of LEGO and soft parts. I've attached the plates and such to the cloth with Velcro, for easy manipulation. The Jet Pack is surprisingly light but it is about %70 of the real size. It's attached via a pair of suspenders placed under the shirt (with holes). The packs on the belt are DUPLO treasure chests and the braids are the palm tree pieces stacked up with a thin wire in the center. (They come in grey now). They ARE decals on my breastplate and shoulder. The helmet is AMAZINGLY sturdy and light (much lighter and stronger than my Vader) it has a construction helmets netting inside to provide hold. Finally I did have to hot glue a LOT of elements.

Well, I hope that will satiate some intellectual queries. ****, those are big words. I'm attending Dragon*Con so I'll probably miss all of the buzz.
Bye,

are there better pics of the gun? I want to see the overall build of it.

You guys think that the Fett Thong is made out of Legos too?

Let me add something really good to this: HE WON at one of the categories from the SW Costume Contest at Dragon*Con this year.

The blaster is also made of LEGO parts, with a FUNCTIONAL spring rocket that shoots at will.

Here are his pictures from the contest before and after winning:

Wow, thanks for those shots. My wife wanted to get close and get some nice images but our daughter was fussy and pulling on the people around her, so they moved.

Not only did I win that contest, but I also won the all around costume contest for "Best Use of Materials" and the Hall Contest for "Most Original".

I've got plenty of media lined up as well.
