That seems to be the case. If Disney has to sign off on everything they release SW related, even newsletters, imagine what the process is like for actual products!

Allow me to bring some positivism to these proceedings guys! Maybe I'm reading too much into this but hey, fun little thing I just saw. A shipping update will be sent soon according to Anovos. What's the last time they used the term "shipping update"? I'm glad you asked, see below! SOON!!!

There's no delay yet. It always said Winter 2015 as fulfillment date. Yes, they would've like to get it earlier than that and admited as such in the newsletters but they are still on target with the original estimate...

Uh, ok! Move along...

Thanks Scott! I ended up ordering the angelus one as the price was similar. I did however buy the glossy one [emoji17] Still looks pretty good though IMO

Thanks Vern! I did a coat with the finisher and it is quite glossy! It does feel very nice though and a lot more durable. The paint still felt kinda sticky even though it was dry but now it's all smooth and dry to the touch.

Hey Vern! Advice needed here. I ordered the normal finish, not the matte. I only realised when I received it that I had picked the wrong one. Do you think it's ok?

7:00 at IMAX 3D. I can't wait!!! [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]

Well... Knowing is a big word but there was a picture of hemets being assembled posted on their instagram with the Anovos hashtag. These helmets have an eye shape that is consistent with released images of the Anovos helmets. There are a few other things but that's mostly how I reached this conclusion. Now this is in no way confirmed but I'd bet it's not too far off! [emoji6]

I think the kits came pre trimmed in boxes from China. The helmets are being assembled by KWdesigns and will ship in a separate box. All that's left is for Anovos to match the boxes with the corresponding soft pieces and then they can ship but the process will be similar to what we see for the FO helmets. About a week from creating the label to first shipments. First wave will start next week and the first kits may be in the hands of a few lucky buyers in late December...

That's FO helmets for sure, right? RIGHT??? *giggling nervously*

The right eye shape looks smoothed out just like the Anovos. There's still a small bulge but it's not as prononced as in the originals, so it looks like the real thing. This was posted by KWdesigns, who is well known here... It would make sense that Anovos would have retained their services for building the helmets and suits, don't you think?

Oh great!!! I'm in Canada so we don't have access to all the same brands but those are available at my home depot Thank you so much for your videos, as I'm getting ready for my kit, this is a great learning opportunity! I'm not that good at reading build threads, even though I'm still reading some. But watching or being done like that, in real time, that's really cool!!!

I have an Anovos, first week of the sale coming so I'll be watching that video of you make it for sure!!! So, thin snips eh? I'll look into it

So it looks like they really are about to ship... Uh, interesting [emoji1]

Yeah, they are pretty noncommital in their answers... The more I think about it, the more I think that they may have talked a bit too openly in the past in interviews and on forums and that has come back to haunt them... So don't expect more that a line that doesn't really says much and keep looking for those newsletters...

I've been watching your videos, I'm up to 16 now I was wondering, I've been thinking about buying lexan scissors but you make scoring and snapping look so easy!!! I'm not all that confident about my skills with the knife, would toi recommend going with the scissors in that case?

Since I have too much time on my hands, here's what I found on Twitter : Soooooo... Update soon but no shipping until the end of December. Anyone holding their breath for shipping in 2015? Let's hope this is not the start of their infamous "shipping delay spiral of doom"!!!

I would freak out if they did that. l ordered one week after the preorder started so I hope I'll be in the first batch of shipping... I'm so tired of looking out for updates [emoji17]

I'm starting to think he's right though. If any TK were to be in our hands this month, they would have sent us some sort of final update or something, don't you think? I, for one, won't be camping on the front yard waiting for my BBB because one, I live in an apartment complex so forget the front yard and two I'm in Canada, I'd rather not freeze to death, thank you!!!

Good point! To be fair though, it's been pretty light in terms of news... I expected to have a better idea by now of the final product. But hey, if their priority is to ship ASAP thus explaining the lack of communication, well that's ok I guess!

Hey Scott, did you ever finish these? I'm about to seal mine and I was wondering if the Mod Podge turned out ok?

Oh damn you're right!!! All sizes used to be available, I'm sorry!! The thing I like about them is that the ankles is narrower but many troopers have Amsterdam so it's a good choice

I went with these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PI2T0VK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1449271133&sr=8-3π=SY200_QL40&keywords=roamer+boots&dpPl=1&dpID=41q0RYYFhXL&ref=plSrch I like them better than Amsterdam's. Nice boots, cheap and really look the part IMO
