Only two months in and probably 2-3 k spent with almost all of that not delivered for the 2-3 months waiting list...
The big purchase of helmet, armor, Jetpack, gauntlets and painting at least didn’t require payment in full to be put on the list.
Have a corner in a room where I am collecting what I have received... bucket fans, servo kit, beacon kit, chest display, ammo belt, girth belt, Jetpack harness...
I already had one guy try to stiff me out of $300 but luckily got Paypal to get me a refund.
Most people I’ve told are clueless why I have chosen to do this.. at first they think I’m joking.
Somehow I married a woman that does not like Star Wars.... I don’t think the reality of this has really sunken in for her as she is very perplexed and confused as to the purpose.
My kids are excited though
So far I’ve recruited local help... a work friend that makes and sells light sabers to help with electronics...
And a friend of the family that has cosplay for years and designs and makes consumers... to help me with weathering and getting the armor attached etc.
