When my kids were younger we could get by with a cheap Halloween outfit but as they have gotten older the kids (but mostly my wife and I) are interested in the more realistic outfits.

I didn't think the price was out of line for this outfit considering the quality of the outfit and the accessories. The price was even more than justified when I turned around and sold it on Ebay the following Halloween for $40.95. Basically I rented the costume for an entire year for less than $20. During that year my children wore the outfit a number of times and the outfit held up to the abuse.
