Bike innertubes are cheap, don't worry about them. I don't think you'd fork over more than $10 for 3.

I am afraid that this won't work. You can not make an APH and Collosus it. The APH is air pressure, and mods such as Collosus and the K-mod will not work. You can however made a CPS homemade like I have (and others have).

$40 if your lucky. Unlikely for your first homeade. Up to $100 depending on what you add/subtract, or change.

If you just need the valve, you'd be better off buying the valves in the automotive department of a store or getting old bike tubes from bikes in the garbage (like I used to do).
I used to get all kinds of good stuff out of the trash. My favorite thing that I brought home was a 27" TV. I was too young and weak at the time to carry it (I'm 22 now.) I ended up using my friend's skateboard to bring it home. I think it just needed an new diode rectifier, and I was watching the Duck Tales movie that night. (It later had another more serious problem, but it was fun while it lasted.)

I spent about $110 (USD) on a huge beastly pneumatic launcher (4" chambers, 3" barrel, sprinkler solenoid valve, etc.). I would expect a smaller homebuilt water gun to cost a lot less than that.
