    Quoted from russdx:

    How much do you want to spend?

    This is still really the most important question you need to answer as so much hinges on this.

    Quoted from DawsonPins:

    Assuming I can make enough profit on the one(s) I sell to justify putting in that kind of money.

    If your theme involves any potentially copyrighted material, just be careful how you go about selling your copies. You don't want to be the next Predator maker.

    Quoted from DawsonPins:

    I should probably limit my spending to around $1500/each.

    Assuming you are going the P-Roc route, the board is $400. Plus you will need a power driver board at about another $300. Then you'll need a PC to run it on for about another $200. Finally a power supply for about $100. Thus the basic electronics will run about $1000. Add to that if you wand a DMD or sound amplifier, etc.
