I do remember someone slicing off the forearm section before realizing it was a connecting point. Thanks goodness for the scrap I think in my case someone in my crew cut the glue tab off of the shin and we didn't know it for days, but luckily I found it in the scrap pile and just had to reinforce and glue it back on.

Tickle421 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 Hopefully Anovos will get these shipped out hastily. I'm excited and I don't even know if I'll be included in this run! Quote

As we know Anovos in general has a horrible communication problem with customers and apparently within too. The CSR’s always say they are asking for the information and can only give what the production department is giving to them. In my opinion it’s the production department and their lack of communication with everyone that is driving Anovos down. It sure would be nice if upper management would address customers and fans at a Con or something. I wonder if a small group of customers went to an Anovos booth at an event with posters listing our first hand experiences with Anovos, wait times and lack of communication. Something civil and factual like “Hello I am an Anovos customer and am still waiting on my order/refund for 2 years now and still no hard shipping dates”. Maybe that would get their attention. FINGERS. TOES. ARMS. LEGS. ARE CROSSED FOR DELIVERY!!!! 2 Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 And as excitement around delivery continues, here are a few pics to savour. Some good looking pulls. Talk of resin boxes too. Heavy but screen accurate.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 2 Quote
Tickle421 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 Wow, did they come trimmed? Did you get an email saying it was on the way or did it just show up? Quote

ukswrath[Staff] Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 Cod looks TLJ, Forearms look TLJ. Looks like the direction it's headed unless Anovos throws us a loop with a TFA bucket lol Quote
mikidymac[TK] Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 Nice to see but the rumor was only 40 went out and I am not sure where that info came from. Hopefully it isn't a wait for another cargo ship to arrive before more start going out. It will really suck since they were so vague saying that the shipments will continue throughout the year. So did we get 40 kits total and now months before more even start going out? It would be so nice if they just spoke the truth for once. Quote

Except for the folks at Anovos or those who know someone at Anovos I don't think anyone knows how many kits there are and how many have been sent out. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 29, 2019 Report Posted March 29, 2019 Definitely some better screen accuracy from the earlier kits, I do like the fact they have the longer front section which sits behind the chest BUT the chest/yoke from the early kits did take a lot of strain above the shoulders hence which I can see they have these pieces hinge much like how Phasma's chest/yoke does. I wonder how much of a join line you would see if they where butted up tight with an elastic or Velcro or magnet attachment underneath, would they be seen in application photos, time will no doubt tell. Nice to also the better accuracy on the ab tabs but I would advise some strengthening behind these as they do look a little thin. I know Anovos had said kits should ship before Celebration but they really are cutting it fine, my beta was late to be shipped and I needed it for a specific troop here so it was heads down all in and had the kit assembled, painted and ready to wear in 10 days, so it can be done so for those of you hoping to wear them soon I wish you luck on your builds, do your research, check the build thread sections and get to building (or wait to see more images of a certain red trooper/s) Good luck everyone.

ukswrath[Staff] Posted March 30, 2019 Report Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Yea I've never understood why they didn't adopt the longer more accurate lower section in the Alpha and Beta kits. As for kits built before SWCC, if someone hasn't done it before but has the helmet, gaskets and other soft goods this shouldn't be a problem with some skilled help.

ImperialMarine778 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Has there been any new word about the kylo yet? Also for that person that got his kit, did anovos/carrier notify him/her before receiving it? Or did it just show up on the front door one day? Edited April 2, 2019 by ImperialMarine778 Quote

In a post I read on FB a recipient stated that they were asked if they wanted to wait for the gaskets and helmet (as they are not ready) or if they wanted the armor now, separately. So it would seem an email went out. Quote

They said it was on the boat with the FOTK and would ship first then when the March 19 date passed they changed their story again to Summer 2019. So that is three times now the Kylo was on the boat over 2 years but it never arrived. Straight up lies at this point. Keep in mind that so far their only has been one confirmed FOTK kit shipped and it was not complete. Edited April 2, 2019 by mikidymac 1 Quote
