      Hi Andy, great to hear from you!! No worries about the message mate, I hope your keeping well. I understand what you mean about it being frustrating not being able to do things you want. I will have a read through the thread when I get home. Did you know there’s a guy from America selling very similar cylinder sets to what you created!!

       

      Hopefully you have my mobile number and email still, give me a shout anytime mate, even if you just wanted to chat - it’s a shame to loose contact.

       

      hope you have a great Christmas and new year mate. Take care.

      Hi Mark,

       

      FISD doesn't message me so I didn't know you'd been on & replied, sorry.  I do have your mobile still & will give you a bell sometime.  Crazy times we're having with this damn virus eh?  Hope you're keeping ok.  Cheers, Andy

      Hi Andy, great to hear from you, hope your keeping well too in this crazy time. It’s frustrating that they do not forward an email or message to say someone has messaged you! 

       

      yes mate, give me a call when you have time to catch up - it would be great to hear from you.

       

      take care

  2. Hi Dan,<br> Unfortunately in ANOVOS eyes your not important, you are just another customer. I believe that since they got licensed by Disney they aren't really bothered about customers or it may be a case that the job is too big for them. If you read through the earlier post Bryan (TK3645) had some pre orders with ANOVOS and they cancelled these and closed his account after he complained. All I can suggest is keep complaining until you manage to get hold of someone who does seem to care and will get it sorted or complain to Disney as I did. It seems to me that in your case ANOVOS probably see the shipping of the helmet back to them and then sending you the new helmet of choice not a financially viable exercise, but obviously from your side you want it exchanged. Just keep on complaining and contact Disney too!!<br><br> Cheers <br><br> Mark.....TK222
  3. Hi Bryan,<br> Your right mate, it appears there is no quality control going on. The replacement I received was damaged in exactly the same area as my original, but worse!! It was scuffed and marked all over( as if someone had been trooping in it for a year or so!!!). So I decided just to stick with my original So I put a hammer through the replacement and sent them the images of that.<br> I told them I was not prepared to destroy the helmet until the replacement arrived as it had taken so long to get to the point of them agreeing to send a replacement 'how could I be certain they would send out the replacement?'.<br><br> The import duty was heavily reduced to around £15. as its dependant on the value ANOVOS chose to put on the invoice. It would have been better though if the replacement had been in good condition, but I felt I had at least got them to acknowledge their product wasn't upto standards.<br><br> As you say, I can't believe that they have changed their returns policy but you are right it is down to them not wanting to stand the charge of the returns back to USA but if they quality checked the stuff first they would not need to stand the return costs or the cost of shipping out a replacement.<br><br> Just keep on at them mate, that's what I did, I even complained to Disney about ANOVOS!!!<br><br> Hope this helps pal.<br><br> Cheers <br><br> Mark.....TK222
  4. Hello mate, don't smash your helmet up!!! I had the same instructions and refused point blank and a good job I did as what I received was in a worse condition to my original!!!<br> Tell them you will destroy it when you recieve the new one and your happy with it, put it to them that they have your credit card details and if you don't send them evidence of smashing the helmet they can charge you again.<br> The only thing is you will get charged import duty again on the new helmet.<br><br> Cheers<br><br> Mark.....TK222
  5. Hello mate, I've had problems too and after months of getting no replies or updates I have in the end complained to Disney about ANOVOS, since they are selling licensed Disney products. So far I have had more contact with Disney in the last week and a bit than I have from ANOVOS since I let them know my TFA trooper helmet arrived in the U.K. damaged.<br> Just thinking it might be an angle to try if you get no joy from ANOVOS.<br><br> Cheers Mark.....TK222
  6. Hi Guys, I've tried to contact Andy a few times and not had any response so hope he comes back soon.<br><br> Cheers Mark TK222
  7. Hi Andy, Agh, that's a shame and quite typical of what we have been thrown into!! I've just taken a look at the eBay link and I bet there will be someone building an E11 that sees these and decides to buy them not knowing what you do. I was thinking there's a place near me that deals with ex-military stuff and I believe one of the things they handle is old radios, it may be worth just asking if they have any idea what the resistors are from if I show them an image? Just looking on the other thread and the image of all the power cylinders laid out looks quite impressive with everyone's name underneath and I can see a gap!!! :) Cheers Mark.....TK222
  8. Hey Andy, That really is awesome! . Did you ask the place you got them from what the resistors might have been used in or who they would have supplied the resistors to? To get an idea of if any of the original set ups may still be surviving? Well done mate. Cheers Mark.....TK222
  9. Hi Andy, I'd go with 'power cylinders', but as you mention many people do refer to them as something else so it would be good to be all calling them the same thing. The 't' shirts are great, I would have one but your recent post for the luke/yoda lamp has meant I am having to prioritise what I am going for first . I guess you can't have everything when you want it!! Cheers Mark.....TK222
  10. Hi Andy, that's a great link, just one question have you thought about making a display stand for the E11 blaster? Maybe something from wood and acrylic, with LED's to illuminate the gun from below and a speaker with SD slot so you could play music or sound effects while it's lit? (only joking about the LED's and sound) Cheers Mark.....TK222
  11. Hi Andy, are you sure you don't have a secret to tell us, that you actually work on the films and seeing us all suffer in the search for these elusive parts you felt sorry for us and decided to produce some as you did for the film!! Great work Andy and as everyone else has said unbelievable attention to detail, for some one who doesnt know they would think they are looking at the real thing. Cheers Mark.....TK222
  12. Hi Andy, it's awesome to see these coming together Why on earth did the prop guys paint them black! Couldn't they have made the sterlings silver to match these, lol. It truly is a shame to have to paint them. I do like the resistors at the back, the hole is nice too. Cheers Mark.....TK222
  13. Hi Andy, hope the break was good! The new capacitors are looking awesome!! Could you please upgrade my order to these Cheers Mark.....TK222
  14. Hi Andy, they are looking fantastic. As previously mentioned 'the best out there' and bearing in mind you only had vague images to go from!! Great work mate. Cheers Mark. TK222
