I have already spent easily 500 bucks and I only have the rough sculpt of a helmet on the bust of my head done.
I estimate about 1000 - 2000 bucks more to finish the project for me. "thank god for a high limit credit card! lol"
Bluerealm stated once that he has spent enough to buy a car and isnt done yet

I got $100 invested so far. I need more tape, cardboard, pait, padding. So i expect at least $74 more. Im only 4'11 so my suit wont be that big so i will use less paint.
Hmm lets see , spent $40 on cardstock (couldnt get scaling right ) , $50 on fiberglass resin so far , $30 on fiber mat , 2weeks of time just to find out after fiberglassing suit it was just a bit to small to fit , so starting all over again with slyfos pep and gonna try again still need paint and bondo , leds, fans and visors,so guess if ya mess up like i did a couple times could cost alot.
For me, it would be about $50 for the visor, $25 for the fiberglass and $25 for the cardstock. That will give you the basics and nothing more.
Then you get into bondo, which is $12 a container, and lights, double visor etc...
You could easily rack up to $200 on a high detail suit, but that's only if you take your time and don't make any second pieces.

Wow I read some of these and im just amazed at the costs, I never really expected it would be so much. What are you making them out of? Gold?
Im thinking of making a large collection of weapons for just about 50 bucks. If I decide to make it out of clay and make a mold then craft plastic MA5C I could mass produce and sell them, but Id rather not invest that much moolah into it.
But seriously, what brings it up to the thousands? I know resin shouldnt cost that much, neither should fiberglass and visor. So whats so exspensive about those suits?
