MLC jet pack questions
- Thread starter fettpride
- Start date
Phew, I'm relieved about the hole.
For me, shipping within the US was $20 with insurance, unless the pack could be shipped in smaller pieces as a kit. As it is, even with the rocket off, it will probably have to be an oversized package, and you have to pay a lot extra for that.

Hey, I'M INDEED INTERESTED AS WELL!!! Even when I have a Fiberglass Jet Pack as well, that I haven't even finish due to a lot of mods I'm making to it. But...DUDE!!! 
That's an amazing work, specially that you started scratch built, casted, molded,...and weights less than 8 pounds???:love
Keep me posted for this baby. I'd even surrender the one I have for one of these, cause they look even easier to put together.

Okay everyone,
Sorry for the delay in posting. I've been swamped in work...
Here's the skinny, best as we have right now.
Jet Pack- $280-
Shipping still to be determined. As LisaFett said, oversize packaging will cost more to ship. We are working to cover this potential extra costs. As such, I can only guesstimate that shipping from Mardon to me, to everyone else will have a range of $20-40 extra. Until we get one out of the mold, packaged, weighed, then I can get exact pricing.
So, if you could just bear with us for a couple of days until we determine the above.
Payment will need to be in the form of Money Orders. We are getting our house refinanced, and I can't have our credit card have a slew of paypal stuff coming in and out. Please understand.
And now the Jet Pack List- The first five will receive a free set of MLC Boba chest armor.
The next ones on the list will be having their jet packs made at the same time as the first five. All in the same run...
Please PM me for all orders and questions.
1) Fettpride
2) TK Fett
3) Defiler
4) Nerf-Herder
5) Journeyman Protector
Next-
6) Mirax
7) Seeker
8) Slowmo
9)Squirk
The pack will be like MLC's helmet, smooth, a few parts to glue, then paint!
Under 8 lbs? We're shooting for 4, 4 1/2 lbs!
take care all,
-Rex
*** With the #5 space opening up, everyone has moved up a notch, giving JMP a FREE set of chest armor!!
Congrats Phil!
I'll check and see if it can be squeezed in on this JP order.
I don't want to hold up the Jet Packs though, so if Mardon, can't get it done, it will come in with the next batch.
If so, I'll take care of the shipping...

Okidoki, it seems Rex is now here so I'm officially passing this project onto him. Trust me, you're all in good hands!
Still there's a lot more projects to be done & my 1/6 scale clients are already breathing down my neck to hurry up their vehicles...LOL!
Just wanna say a heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed their comments,suggestions, ideas & most importantly your support & assistance in making this project a reality!
To each & everyone - kudos! This really was a fun project to undertake!
....now I'm off to find Fett shoes, so wish me luck! ;-)
See you all on the boards!

Okay, Mardon's ready to accept orders!
We've got a $40- International shipping rate to me,(remember, Mardon lives overseas...) and I'll ship them out from there.
I'll use actual US Priority Mail rates, Confirmation Delivery, Insured Mail. Unless someone wants FedEx, UPS, etc.
I don't know what Domestic shipping will be, but I will tell everyone as soon as I get a JP in my hands. I can handle the domestic shipping via PayPal for everyone's convenience.
$280-JP
$40-In'tl Shipping
I'll PM everyone my addy to send MO's too.
take care,

Update:
Well it seems the response has been good according to Rex, so here's a litle bit of update:
My own JP is currently being molded anew to capture the new mods....all production JPs would weight 4- 4 1/2lbs or lighter. I'm also in the process of hiring more workers to do just SW props, as my regular workers are already head high on doing vehicle orders.
Hopefully, production will start in the next 2 weeks and I'm looking at 3-4 days to make each JP.
To those who have ordered, if you have any special requests like having the back panel door or not, making holes below the missile base, etc. please indicate it with your order to Rex.
Once I get my own JP, I'll attach the experimental hydration pack I bought & put it on a mannequin to show you guys & if there's any interest on the pack, then give me a buzz as I could buy for you & include it with shipping your JP.
BTW - someone convinced me to do a Jango JP - so if there's also any interest on this. LMK
Thanks!
Mardon

Whoo-hoo!!!!
I'd much rather have the Jango stubby!
I'll upgrade to a Boba a little later.
Would the prices still be the same?

Jango's JP wont be anytime soon.....infact, we are still deliberating on its feasibility.
If there's only a few interest, we might shelf the project indefinitely.
Keep your fingers crossed thou....

Jango Stubby Jetpack Signup Thread (With New Pics!)
Our friend Mardon & I are working on this & before we can go any further I am looking to see how much interest there is in an all fiberglass stubby jet pack. I need a commitment of at least 10 people to get this off the ground or it dies here. If you have not seen pics of Mardon's work just check out this thread http://tdh.prop-planet.com/viewtopic.php?topic=4738&forum=6
It will be constructed in the same method as the one Rex is offering & should weigh in around the 4lb mark. Price would be comparable as well. I have spoken with Rex & we have agreed that since I focus on Jango stuff, that me working on this project with Mardon is only natural. The pack will also be designed to work with the new harness system that I am offering.
Again, this is just to see how much interest there is. A formal sign up thread will be posted when all details are worked out. Mardon is available for questions as well.

I'd be interested but can't commit since already getting his classic. Depending on the time frame for this, I'm a maybe.

This will be already assembled. The only thing that will need to be attched are the thrusters & probably the nose cones just to make it easier for shipping. It will be very much like the classic that Rex is handling.
