You be the Judge! Full Judge Dredd costumes from 2000 AD and Planet Replicas

[James Stacey]

It was on my wanted list but by the time I save up that sort of cash they probably won't be making them anymore.

Yeah, that's my worry as well.

Would love to buy it a bit at a time when I can convince herself that there's some spare cash.  But knowing my luck I'd get the helmet badge and belt and they'd stop selling.

To the scratchcards me thinks

I can't see it on the site but they told me that they will be doing a lay-away purchase system. This is when you pay a deposit and then a few payments down the line and then you get the full kit. Probably best to email them about that if you are thinking about it!

[Dan Kelly]

It's mentioned at the bottom of the full uniform page - email for details.

At the moment I can't even see that being an option really - I might be able to squeeze a helmet in from Xmas, a belt at end-of-year, boots with some overtime, but the committing to the full package is a stretch

(And for the record I think that for what it is the price is a good one)

I see there is a "Scaled Replicas" category under merchandise.  Nothing on display yet but looks promising.

Has anyone bought anything yet?  I went through to the credit card screen but it didn't seem to be a secure transaction so I stopped.

[JUDGE BURNS]

OUCH   the 2K price tag is way out of reach for me, what with the 3 kids to keep happy, oh and the wife.  I will just have to dream that one day my lottery numbers turn up and i can buy the costume then ...

[Steve Green]

@dash - seemed to be still on a secure site when I got to the Paypal page?

Cheers

So is the 2K price tag official or just speculation? Far more than I expected by double.

That's official.

I agree. I think just an ordinary full leather outfit* could set you back a large chunk of that price.

It's not for me though, although I think it looks great. Price aside it would just be wasted on me. I'd feel silly dressing up for conventions, etc**, unless I knew I was going in with a bunch of others people dressed up similarly.

I might be up for getting a lawgiver at some point though if it's not too much. I see they have two options for that.

*If there's such a  thing as an 'ordinary full leather outfit'. I'm sure you get what I mean. Bike leathers, etc.

**That wasn't a criticism of those who do that sort of thing by the way. I've a lot of respect for those with the guts to do that sort of thing. And looking at the ladies is interesting....

[NSFTM]

the uniform looks class,and looking at CF's blog the quality and attention to detail is immense.

but it seems to continue the trend of prohibitively expensive merchandise...

in saying that i'll still be getting the helmet and the lawgiver.. the rest of the uniform can be sorted out with some black bin bags and a few well positioned egg boxes

edit: actually for what you get 2 grand ain't bad for the full uniform , helmet and gun

[Beeks]

£275 for the helmet?

Didn't they used to be much much cheaper?

I'm waiting until someone does another run of Brit-Cit helmets

[JOE SOAP]

Well it's a lot more than I expected it to be -I estimated just under 1K- not sure many of us will have that kind of doughage to spare in a recession/depression. Seems a lot of 2000AD items are 'boutique', 3A, PR etc.

Is this a mis-type:

Product is in stock
Delivery period: 45 day(s)

Seems a long time, should it be 4-5 days?

[Steve Green]

The last lot of helmets Wake was selling for about £220ish at Kapow.

I never expected them to be below £1000, but by what other costumers have said £1500-£2000 is not uncommon. People who expected them to be £400 aren't being realistic.

It's not like that's the only thing they're selling, there are badges, helmets, prop guns, down to keyrings.

No idea about the delivery period thing.

The leathers are tailor made to fit you and the badge has your name on (or Dredd, or any name if you wish). I'd expect the other bits are going to be made on demand rather than mass produced too, so I was wondering about the turn-around time. 45 days isn't bad, IMO.

Now where's that euromillions ticket?
