And I know several of you have expressed interest in doing the original version if there were any kits available for the hard pieces. Before the end of the year, I hope to be able to provide the unique pieces to make Mike Vilardi's original creation. I am also working in conjunction with MLC to create the modified Scout helmet that Vilardi's Commando wore. Part of the cost is fabrication of moulds, part is materials, and part is labour (I'm cheap -- MLC less so heh). In order to recoup the cost of creating the moulds and forming bucks, that cost gets broken up and apportioned into the asking price of the final piece. The more potential interest (and thus the more pieces are likely to sell), the smaller those portions can be. I'm going to be making four or five sets for my own use (one for me, the rest for close friends), and am willing to eat some of the development costs because of that. The rest depends on you guys. I'm hoping there's enough interest to warrant a production run large enough to keep the final price as low as possible. Please let me know if you want the armour, the helmet, or both, and I'll start the list. 14 Feb UPDATE I'm a little late this week. But yay Valentine's Day. 01. Gee2 02. Arakus 03. tavrikgannon 04.

Update 16 January 2009: I'll be editing the main body of this starting post to reflect current information and projections next Wednesday, to get things back on schedule. --Jonah Edited by Peregrinus, Jan 17 2009, 06:12 AM.
