There is a huge differance, Take for example some of the stuff you'll find out there: like e-bay. I won't meantion his name, but members of TDH know who I'm talking about, this person sells Helmets for $75.00, used to be $80.00, sounds good huh?... Well they're cheap re-casts with missing parts and while it may sound better then spending $100.00, it dosn't pay off in the long run.. Now if you're on a buget, then there are tuitionals in TDH that can help you out, but if your trying to buy pre-made parts, then I would advise you to save your Pennies and wait. Trust me. In the long run you'll be happy. Anyone who has a Fett will tell you that if you want accuracy, You're going to have to pay a bit for it; A Fett can run around $1,500.00 (econo-version) to $3,500.00 (Deluxe-verson) but be forwarned... this is not a suit you can build on the cheap. Hope this helps. C
