mikidymac[TK] Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 I have only seen two people that actually received them. I think it might have been a PR stunt before Celebration to take a little heat off them. Even those weren’t complete kits. There’s actually a build thread above in this section. Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) I’ve seen four kits in various stages of being built. Yet to see a completed one. And still no soft parts. Edited June 22, 2019 by JAFO Quote

He's already a legion FOTK That´s great news so don´t get me wrong but how is that possible? I mean the sideseam and the yoke. I know it says without a visible seam for the abdomen section so tecnically as long as you don´t see it it should be fine but the yoke is meant to be one seamless piece? Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 "He's already a legion FOTK" could mean he was previously approved with another armor make??? If he's approved with this set of Anovos armor then it would come down to the GML who approved him and how well he/she knows the costume and CRL requirements, it's an old issue about being consistent throughout the legion when it comes to costume approval which is brought up on many occasions on the legions forums, we see some very different levels of costume throughout the legion 1 Quote

I see the UKG just passed a TLJ FOTK with a TFA TD. We know the TFA TD appears in TLJ but the CRL is yet to recognise this. Looking forward to getting these CRLs updates soon!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote

JAFO[TK] Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 More shipping notices being issued. Looks like the lawsuit gave them the jolt they needed.We will see!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote
Hutt-trooper[TK] Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 Did anyone else notice in Anovos' last update that they are still listing the armor as 'The Force Awakens' despite previous info suggesting that it is TLJ? AND - that they show TLJ helmets as a separate item still awaiting shipping... Am I foolish to still be holding out hope that when the full orders begin to ship I might actually receive the TFA helmet I expected and a set of armor that can actually be made into TFA without having to get 3rd party extra pieces?? (and I know - some will say I'm still being foolish expecting to get anything at all - let alone the specific version of armor I actually ordered) Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 I hope you and others do get what they ordered.I was so close to pulling the trigger on one of these about a year ago, I count my self lucky I did not.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote

And when they finally get the helmet and gaskets, guess what? SHIPPING IS PAYABLE AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Quote

Sly11[Admin] Posted June 24, 2019 Report Posted June 24, 2019 Agreed, hard to fathom how this company thinks that what they are doing is the right thing by their customers. Gouging and double dipping yet people keep sending money their way.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Ouch, over double what the OT was then. And when it arrives Fedex are going to send you an invoice for 23% of the kit + shipping cost + handling fee.... Quote

My first thought was, who in their right mind would pay for that? Answer, people with money to spend. If Disney is charging this kind of $ for the armor at GE who knows what they could be recommending Anovos retail their products at, and/or charging Anovos a boatload for royalties which would leave them no alternative but to pass the bill on to the consumer Sadly, if the mouse ever decides to bring the hammer down 3rd party armor suppliers this could become the new norm. Let's hope not Quote

Let's hope not Well, I’m fine with Anovos selling at those prices as long as it means we still keep third parties. I’d still prefer to go support a reliable third party for a better price. However, as we keep learning, reliable, is the key word too.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote

kungfugrip12 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Posted July 4, 2019 Happy 4th to all of us who are still patiently (very patiently) waiting for our FOTK armor kit pre-orders to be fulfilled. Sigh.......... 3 Quote
ImperialMarine778 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 Does anybody here or know anybody that may have any inside scoop as to why Anovos has not been responding to emails at all? Quote
