What all is included in the MHS kit?

I felt a disturbance in the force. Darth Vader is no easy costume to do you can start with a Rubies Supreme costume and then begin to upgrade the parts or you can put your own costume together either way be prepared to spend money to get things right. But this is true of almost any costume that is done right. Propably the least expensive costume to do is a Jedi costume but even with that you can run into several hundred dollars getting the look right.

Well said Do-Clo, I have between three and four hundred in my Jedi costume and I still use work boots. The basic boots are around 60 bucks and from there you can spend hundreds for good leather boots. Keep in mind that it is not to hard to do that with any leather boots and I won't even get in to the belts.

The fun part with boots for me is finding boots that will fit my calf properly, I am left needing to get a set made and that isn't cheap motorcowboy.com makes boots for a custom fit and Vader boots are over $300.00

They really do.

The thing is you can do most costumes for a decent price and it would work for halloween or just playing around with the kids but when you start going to conventions and things of that sort then your costume needs to be taken to a whole other level. Yes I agree it stinks but it is what it is.

I did my first Luke costume with a Gi that I colored the pants tan, used some strips of material for the leggings and threw on my work boots. The belt while not exact movie accurate was pretty cool as I used my belt from my tool belt. Saber was made by me out of PVC. I don't think I hit fifty bucks and it won a contest. If I went to a convention like that it would be picked apart.
