I am afraid their Q3 delivery is just another bunch of BS at this point.I know not everyone who ordered the armour is on here or the fb groups. But in total there are about 5 confirmed kits on them. Even if only 25% of the kits belong to members here and FB that would only be around 20 kits in the wild. What’s really annoying is the photos from the SWGE ROTR with all the troopers in Anovos kits. Seems that Disney got supplied, whilst everybody else waits. 1 Quote

I think there is pretty strong evidence that's exactly where our kits went. You can see the Anovos forearm cutout pretty clearly in the picture. And if you count both parks that is a pretty good chunk of kits. First it is a theory but then when there is actual proof, looks like we were all taken by Anovos to support Disney. The signature Anovos 90 degree forearm cutout.... Then we have the Rise of the Resistance pictures.... Add this evidence to the fact that Anovos is supplying the shops in Galaxy's Edge and there you have the trail of our missing kits. Edited October 17, 2019 by mikidymac 1 Quote
JAFO[TK] Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 BSP has delivered more than five kits this week alone albeit after a little nudge Quality is looking very good so far and the kit even includes a pauldron!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote

The forearm indent is a little shallow but to say it is not approvable is unfounded scaremongering at best.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted October 17, 2019 Report Posted October 17, 2019 Any chance we can see some photos of the BSP kit posted up, interested to see how they look. Also just to add, nothing is 501st approved until it is built, correctly fitted to the member and reviewed by their GML. 1 Quote

Might be best to start a seperate thread for that though I suspect there will be some new build threads emerging VERY soon.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote

Every current vendor has inaccuracies or lack of detail compared to screen used kits yet all are approvable. The BSP forearm indent is a little shallow but I would not call it inaccurate.The vendor who made comment is making a big statement by declaring “the BSP forearm is so off there is no way it will be approved by the 501st”.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote

mikidymac[TK] Posted October 18, 2019 Report Posted October 18, 2019 All I was saying is that the BSP ones are just arriving so let’s see how they are before telling everyone to go buy them. Not that anyone is saying that. 2 Quote

Not that anyone is saying that. Not sure they have announced another run yet.They have said they would address the forearm if it is a real issue. I highlighted a design issue with their chest pill holes when they were in development and they took time to verify and change their mold. They are certainly keen to take on and respond to feedback.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote

Peregrinus Posted October 19, 2019 Report Posted October 19, 2019 Idly wandering through the ANOVOS site and noticed the pre-2019 pre-order TFA FOTK standard kits (like what i ordered) are now listed as Q4 2019 shipping -- 1st October through 31st December. I do not recall getting an update to this effect... Quote
