How serious is too serious?

[Fett 4 Real]

At C7, Darkside pointed out that I had my knees on backwards (left on right, right on left). I felt dumb that I missed that.

NOOOOOO you didn't you just had them on upside down....

And pretty much what a lot of folks said. There are people (like myself) who aren't afraid to point out things that can be either done better, or are flat out wrong. Its your money/time spend it as you please....BUT with something like a $3000+ costume, do you wanna do it half assed or do you want it to be spot on? Do you want to have to go back a year later to fix something? Something that someone knew was wrong but didn't point out? Its senseless to do something like buying garbage from ebay....or put ESB parts on a ROTJ suit... something like that Id want someone to tell me.

Along the lines of what Fett 4 Real said- I initially thought I would be ok with certain parts- some stuff that may have been ok but not quit perfect. When you are investing that much money it does become tough on where to draw the line budget wise ( for me it was at least). I ended up upgrading stuff even before I was done ( which I'm still not). I'm trying to make mine pretty accurate short of the actual functioning flamethrower and stuff. I enjoy wearing it and even if no notices or cares about the found parts on it - I know they are there. However , my experience is people only care about the chest lights. Always get nice chest lights
