The5thHorseman[501st] Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Okay, let me just sum it up: 1. What we see, or have seen in the live stream are armors made by Anovos 2. Anovos has the license and is going to sell the armor. 3. Members of the 501st had the opportunity to be the first ones to receive and build this armor for trooping and showing off at the celebration. 4. Possibly Anovos even supplied the armor for the movie. 5. That would mean, that we could buy armor 100% identical to the screen used costumes. Do I see this correctly? Despite being jealous to no end about the opportunity our members had, my head is spinning. Can somebody confirm any of the above in Detail? Tim? 1/ Sounds correct. 2/ Correct again. 3/ Exactly. The offer was for US members only though (even though there's been some fuss around that point...). 4/ What i read was that ANOVOS seems to have had access to one of the film's armor but they didn't supply them. 5/ That's the spirit. 2 Quote
BenFriday77[501st] Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 I am concerned. Between this and the announcement of ANOVOS original trilogy armour, I feel like a licencing web is being spun. Maybe I'm just paranoid. That is exactly what I think too. In addition, costuming means researching, building, failing and starting all over again to me. When Anovos offers ready-to-wear armour I'm really not sure if I like it! Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk 1 Quote
hjmediastudios Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 There is also the fact that the point man for the 501st/ANOVOS arrangement has indicated on the 501st forums that the armor will be offered to those on the wait list (as opposed to those who already got the chance) before the general public.

lrdelcastillo Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Does this mean that you get in to the 501st automatically (after you adjust your costume)? Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Germain is correct. ANOVOS did not supply the armor for the movies, but they did have direct access to armor made by the Ep VII prop masters for the purpose of making that armor. There were a number of Legion.members that received kits in advance, which they purchased, to be a part of the reveal today. There is also a wait list for kits, yes.

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Also, as Nicky already said, no costume will ever be automatically approved for Legion membership, even if it was a set of screen used armor, the person would have to apply for approval, just like everyone else, and if it fits incorrectly could be denied membership.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Wore the armor today but still need to dial it in. Are there any peeps here in Anaheim who has extra Velcro, strapping, or snap plates I can buy off them? Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Love the new Trailer Snow trooper in the back ground, Stormies with back packs, and holy sh!t, the new Tie pilot looks AWESOME, i am so excited, I had a tear in my eye watching that trailer, specially when Han says to Chewie, were home. 1 Quote
MechaPumpkin[TK] Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Is there a list somewhere of which TKs were on that stage? I'm so jealous of them, but I'd rather be proud of them, hahaha Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 LoL... There's a list of who has the kits. I have a sneaking suspicion as to the identity of one of them, but I can't be sure yet. 2 Quote

JoblessPunk[TK] Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Any news from the ANOVOS panel? Release date, price, preorder? Edited April 17, 2015 by JoblessPunk Quote
tk6589[501st] Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 Friends bought new TK at Anaheim. Hum...!!! kit is very expensive !!! (and you'll need to buy blaster and boots too) Quote
hjmediastudios Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 Friends bought new TK at Anaheim. Hum...!!! kit is very expensive !!! (and you'll need to buy blaster and boots too) Any word on the actual price? And is this kit form, or fully assembled? I know the initial lottery batch of 75 were supposedly a kit with a completed helmet. Quote
SaturnGypsy[TK] Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 The first 75 were $1800. I imagine the price is the same. Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 I thought I saw some pictures of people with ANOVOS boxes, and I didn't believe that it was the new TK, specifically because they had over or about 300 preorder people on the wait list. I seriously hope that they didn't skip their preorder list somehow, but yeah, the kits with shipping were offered at an introductory price (with a completed helmet, no boots or blaster) of just about $2,000 depending on the shipping method used.

I still haven't seen a list of the ones on stage anyplace. If my theory is correct, that list can't be accurate for the stage TKs - besides the fact that there were ten of those.

deadvision Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 You know I wonder if the Anovos stuff is a 100% accurate cast. Quote
