Comfy Turtle Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 wow, i was thinking i'd get one after my TK, Shock and TIE were finished but i think maybe i'll draw the line there... Quote
allan1313[TK] Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) From what I gather $1800 was the price for the people in the 501st that already got the "pre-production" ones from Anovos already. Doubt they would sell it to the "public" for less than that. It comes in kit form and requires a TON of work to put together. Edited December 23, 2015 by allan1313 Quote
BOOKOF Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 requires a TON of work to put together. What do you have to base this off of? Would ANOVOS' public kits be the same as the older ones they sent out to the 501st? Why would a fully assembled kit require a TON of work? Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 There won't likely be any way for this number to be substantiated, or speculated at. Those of us with the ANOVOS FO TK kits signed an NDA and part of that document was pricing information. We cannot discuss that outside of the group. I will say that Allen is right about the work that has to go into this costume though. Far more demanding and challenging than an OT TK. 1 Quote

Why would a fully assembled kit require a TON of work?The armor requires bondo work, sanding, and painting which is very time consuming. It is more akin to building clone trooper armor. Quote

I was looking into getting a kit from him. He got 501st approved I believe Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote
pedro2931 Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Posted December 23, 2015 Yeah i was on therpf one of his kits had gotten approval last month.... being new to this what would/is that makes his kit bad for approval? Quote

He actually just put a pic of him next to the anovos suit and he looked great!! The only differences I noticed were a slightly smaller chest plate slit, and thicker hand plates. That's it from my eye Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote
Lmu4eJ Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 I think he's getting his kit modified to be more similar to the ANOVOS one after he'd see it in the flesh, he's also making the TIE helmet I think! Take a look at his build thread it's here under the TFA section. 1 Quote
Cladius Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 Any way you can post a link to that picture, or better yet, the picture here? I am in the process of getting the First Order armour too. 1 Quote

TK5492[TK] Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 I think there may be a misunderstanding here. Jim is not to be confused with Star Forge or whatever that crap website is. He's not in any way connected to that. He sculpted the armor by hand and has it well documented on threads here and the RPF. I have submitted for approval with his armor and can speak to the quality of both the armor and Jim's customer service. 4 Quote

JIM however is a stand up guy and makes awesome stuff! He has an approved TFA TK and Phasma and it's great to hear of another who submitted his kit for approval from Jim!

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 My sincere apologies to Jim and you all regarding this matter... The Philippine maker I was referring to was that overpriced fiberglass kit at StarFortress... certainly not Jim's great armor, and I meant in no way to confuse the two. I take full responsibility for not clarifying that fact, and hope you will understand . I have PM'd Jim and explained the entire matter to him along with a humble apology as well.

"To err is human..."It happens. I honestly had no idea Star Fortress was in the Phillipines. When Jim found out he had assumed that Star Fortress was in question. This just ended in overall good publicity for Jims kit! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote
Dynamic1[501st] Posted January 9, 2016 Report Posted January 9, 2016 I have a kit on order from Jim...He's very professional, EXTREMELY organized and a pleasure to deal with. 1 Quote
Varya Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Hi, So Jim pretty much seems like the only guy to buy a First Order Stormtrooper armor kit from, but seeing as the waiting list is huge right now, do you think he'll continue to be able to make armor in the near future (of this year)? I really want to buy a set from him, but I'm afraid his waiting list will grow exponentially and will be too long (that he might close it down). Seeing as I'll only ask to be put on the waiting list once I have the money. Also, his waiting list and main means of contact is on that forum thread. Does he have a website with more information for ordering? Quote
