I think the Mogstation sounds like a good compromise. I did the Garo stuff, and it was a crazy amount of effort to make it in time. But really, I don't begrudge someone else getting the outfits (some are pretty dumb looking, tbh. I can't imagine even the most stylish person in the world could do much with the Makai Paladin glam unless you really want to cosplay as C3PO. But some are pretty nice.) If I want bragging rights, I can always just put walk around with the Makai Master title.
