Cant believe im going to say this . . . .
Silly question, but are you remembering vet rewards? Assuming you are, you can get the dayjob from logging out at the tailor for discounts. If there's still an inf problem then I would say head on over to the market forums and learn how easy it is to come by inf in this game.
Hope that helps.
It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.
you can make costumes and then save them to your drive. Only apply the ones you really want to a costume slot

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I too have tons of costume files saved on my computer, but most are simply concepts. For example, "I have no desire to play a ninja lion, but what would it look like?!" So I create it, save it, and back out of the creator to play an existing toons. Then, if I ever find myself wanting to play a ninja lion, I have a tangible idea to go off of.
To get back on topic though, I think what Damz is saying is that he has been redoing so many costumes with the new additions (adding pieces, removing pieces, tweaking, recoloring, etc.) that he has run out of options with which to pay for these fixes. Unfortunately, though, I don't think we'll be seeing any new costume tokens until the launch of i21, where they will probably be sold for a (very hopefully) low amount of Paragon Points. And if you are strapped for cash, I suggest running Hero/Villain tips for 4 days, grabbing an LoTG: 7.5% recharge recipe and dump it in the market for probably close to 100mil.
Now, if you are simply compulsively changing your costume, there is really no fix for that except to be content with what you are wearing, at least for a little while until you can garner enough inf to pay for some more changes. If your thing is "I like to see it outside the Icon interface" and the costume is available at character creation, I suggest rolling an alt with a same or similar costume and running around Atlas Park just to see what it looks like, then delete the alt and log the character again, adding the necessary changes.

I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
Your problem will soon be solved with paragon points

Dear Damz...
If you are someone who would have pooh-poohed any concern over this before... SUCK IT UP!!
Haha... I've often thought the tailor cost at higher levels is ridiculous... But it's all I usually spend my influence on, so I try not to worry about it.
Plus... 12 is still a lot...
I think we just like hording such things, just to know we still have them there...
But now I only have TWELVE free tokens!!! What if I want to use ELEVEN of them??? I'd only have ONE left!!!!
Haha
Decide what is more important, big boy...the market or your style?
(Really... I do think the tailor fees are too high. I think they were set back before the market and when there was basically nothing else to spend money on!)

Here's what you guys can't put together and EU hasn't said. He's a girl....
But seriously, we have only 5 slots. I could see making 5 different costumes.
Just curious, do you make costumes for your characters or do you do total redesigns with new everything? I keep the same characters so my friends recognize me. I only do costume edits.
There are some characters I wish I only had 12 on. I'm set in some of their looks... some have, I believe, sixty plus tokens or more.
And icon discount coupons.
Really, I'd like to pass some of these over, or sell them on the market or something at times.
I'm with Bill, my main has something like 90, before even getting into her Vet Rewards, plus I've got the 57 month Vet Reward that halves the cost of my Tailor sessions anyways, so the "25% off" coupons are utterly worthless. I'd really like to be able to trade or sell both tokens and coupons.
Yeah, I have one guy with over 80 and every possible discount.
I want more costume slots. I play my main more than all other toons combined and five costumes doesn't cut it.

Most people know this, but just in case - watch out for the power customisation options when changing costume at the tailor, it can get extremely expensive if you alter powers.
As someone with huge numbers of free tokens on each character, I never noticed until I recently tried to make a change on a newer character

As far as costume slots go I have several characters who I'd probably buy an extra dozen slots for if I could.

WARNING: I bold names.
Before i get into my request a small backstory about the reason behind this.
Before i20.5 went live i had roughly 27 free costume change tokens saved up during my time on my main, i thought i'ld never use them all. I thought that i had just one too many that it got to the silly stage, that now however has changed.
Less than a week of going live i am down to my final 12 with still half the auras to unlock and my need to make more costumes shows no sign of slowing down. I am looking at what it would cost me to tweak my costume/powers everytime and its kind of scary the cost so my request is a simple one.
Please can we have more free costume change tokens? Please?
Edit: To make things worse i've only just realised the potential of using chest details such as ribcage and the possibility that it brings up, the ribcage looks perfect on one of the costumes as it looks part of the pattern!
