Take a look- I've outlined some costumes which can be 'pretty' cheap.

feel free to edit it if I got anything wrong or you'd like to add something- I might add some pics in a bit.
Basically, it looks like there are 3-4 levels:
-crew members. jumpsuits, 405th ID, sidearm.
-unarmored marines. BDUs, boonie hats, shotguns or ARs.
-armored marines. BDUs, vacuformed armor, almost any weapons..
-ODSTs. BDUs, vacuformed body armor, molded helm, not sure on weapons.
Crew members' and unarmored marines' costumes could probably cost around 100-150$.
Armored marines, assuming a vacuformed or just cheap helm, I think maybe 150-250$.
ODSTs, depending on quality, probably ranging around or over 250-400$.
Point being, it's not ridiculously expensive to swell our ranks. I think Rob W. said it best in that interview.. "for 100$, everyone can be a marine."
And... why not? Have you seen the halo 3 marines? They're actually pretty nice.
YMMV, pound of salt, etc- but we can make this happen.
