Did anyone ever finish modifying their Galaxy's Edge Stormtrooper light-up ID card?

The Spacetrooper is very briefly seen in Rogue One outside (in space) walking on the Scarif shield gate.

Assuming this is the place to post if Detachment Affiliation somehow shows as expired in the 2022 census...

Hmm, it only says jacket, pants, gloves... What about the Neckseal?
Neckseal is in the bag of the main kit box, packed with the black strapping and velcro.

I'll be printing & reading tomorrow as tonight I'm on a teeny screen. I would agree CA glue may not be the best call - perhaps they felt it would be easiest to understand by the public vs. E6000?
This also might be because E6000 is a particular brand. You'll notice they didn't mention "Velcro®" by name (instead it's actually "hook and loop"), and didn't say "Super Glue®" either. Is there a generic term for E6000? If not, then it may be a legal thing. That said, CA still works, just maybe not as well as brand name alternatives.

Looks OK for me, but as with the FO helmet i assume we´re gonna see some better and some not so good preeassembled helmets.
Not unlike the original screen-used helmets?
Since these were built the same way, tearing apart and rebuilding shouldn't be too hard for most folks if you want to tweak things. -
I hope it is just us misinterpreting their latest newsletter and their actual intent was that Tier 1 orders shipping first have to cancel by the 20th because shipping will already be processing. That would make more sense than the blanket statement that all orders would have to be canceled by the 20th. Then say something like all Feb 15 orders must be canceled by the 10th or something like that.
BTW: If these kits are shipping within a few days there should be no reason now why they can't post some final pictures. They have posted pictures of the box so why not open it. Anovos, your killing me Smalls!
This is correct, the cancellation deadline only applies to the first wave that is about to ship---so the policy has not changed.

Honestly this company is a train wreck. If you look at any Instagram picture they've posted, there is just a slur of negative comments, mainly pointed towards the TK pre-order
Ironically, the TK kits are a product that is close to the estimated delivery of Winter 2015.

They're shipped out of the states to be shipped?
You presume they are made in the USA. Generally, larger runs are more cost-efficient overseas.
-
Am I the only one ticked that Anovos got TFO helmets out before any of the TK's? I mean still no definitive answer on ship dates and TFO helmets were what ordered 4 months ago.
Due to differences in the products (some more complicated than others---in this case helmet vs an entire set of armor) and ramping up multiple items with overlapping timelines and approval processes, it makes sense. The main thing to remember is that original TKs were promised in Winter and it seems they are about to ship on time. The First Order helmets were actually EARLY.

So wait. What helmet was shipped?! TK or FO?
Technically, neither has shipped to customers just yet. The notification is for the generation of shipping LABELS as mentioned in the recent ANOVOS email. However, FO helmets may indeed arrive at customer homes before the New Year (Christmas if you're really lucky).
-
Also, does anybody want pictures from the Disney Launch Bay? I will be there tomorrow.
Remember that most of the ANOVOS stuff (except the pre-packaged Han/Officer belt buckles and Han waist belt) is only on display as examples. Those who pre-ordered direct from ANOVOS will have priority order when it comes to shipping, too.
-
I'm constantly refreshing this thread in hopes that someone gets some news. I know we will get emails regarding shipment but until then anticipation is crazy! Especially since this is my first kit I cannot wait. I think I am refreshing my email inbox every 30 minutes naturally on my phone to check and see if there's something from ANOVOS
Typically there is a waiting period while incoming goods pass through customs and then, as I understand it, kits need to have the individual sized soft goods inserted. I wouldn't count on Christmas delivery, although some folks *might* get some before January 1.
-
has anyone actually received anything from annovos yet ,I was thinking or pre ordering the first order armour but will I wait over a year for it? any info be great
No solid release date has been given for the public First Order armor yet. The First Order Standard Line helmets should be shipping by January though.

Two cents:
$.01 -> Yes, the appropriate thing would be to contact ANOVOS & let them know before they make 2000 of them.
$.01 -> Even if they don't move them, it's not a hard issue to re-do compared to other EI type changes. Thus, I don't think it is much to worry about. Also, if ANOVOS gets feedback that tons of people are moving it, they will probably change.

They are aware of the concern, but unless we want to delay things further, it's better just to leave it and maybe they can adjust it on the next run. As mentioned, looks like a simple tweak that will only affect higher levels of approval. Glad that it meets base requirements out of the box.

Unfortunately it looks as if you may have to invest in a new canvas belt, Bill. I would drill the rivets out and use 2 "Chicago" style screws, as the extra holes in the leather won't be seen anyway I know it's a bit of extra work, (and cost) but hopefully you will be shooting for EIB and Centurion and it will be worth it!
I believe these are Chicago screws vs rivets and may easily be removed. There's a second pic of the inside of the holster/belt:

who do I email to change my shipping address on this order?
Contact support@anovos.com with your name and order number and they can adjust the shipping address.

Okay, just heard back and I'm told that according to the Material Safety Data Sheet used in production, the material has not changed from ABS. They did say that some parts are now using a 0.003 thinner plastic, presumably for the improved detail. Again, I am not an expert so I'm only going by what I'm told. If someone has the material analyzed and can send me documentation, I'll pass that back along to ANOVOS in case their supplier is trying to pull a fast one. Thanks for your patience while I checked with them!

Looking into this. I know thinner plastic gives better detail, and it wouldn't make sense to make it so thin that it's not troop-able. Have not seen the "Standard Line" injection-molded helmets yet in person, but hope to get my hands on one later this month.

How did people get coupons? I never got one with my TK preorder. But they are expired now? Id definitely grab a TIE or TFA helm if I had one.
The coupon thing started with orders in mid-June and people have been generally using it to "pay it forward." This is a good place to look: https://www.facebook.com/groups/838545079553903/

ANOVOS is not at D23, but some of their completed TFA kits are. New Stormtrooper kit newsletter in the works, but delayed by a million other projects.
-
I like this new "pay it forward" discount thing. Troopers helping troopers!

It's included at no extra charge so if you don't like it, you can sell it and it ultimately makes your kit even cheaper! Win-win!
That neck seal looks to shiny and plastic I don't like it. I'll def stick with my darman version

I have a couple kits on order and can't wait. However, I'm not sure I like the tone of their answers in the way they talk down about the "underground hobbyist market" and "bootleg kits".
Fan made armor is the backbone of the 501st, is it not?
I think we have all become accustomed to thinking fan-made armor is legitimate after 20+ years of DIY with no consistent viable licensed options. I proudly own an "underground hobbyist bootleg kit," but indeed that's what it is, especially from a licensor/licensee perspective.
