Ok thanks so much. Also I noticed how the message says "aimed completion before Celebration 2019." I really do not mean to be skeptical, but every time new delay gets sent, it is always with "aimed", or "anticipated", or any other combination of guestimate words that wouldn't require them to obligate to what they say. I chatted with them through their website multiple times and those words are nothing new to me. Also, it alarms me that they talked about doing the steel molds with us on one of the delay updates way before they did this one. And besides pictures to prove that these pieces are actually being made to some unknown capacity, I'm having difficulty finding the difference between this update and the one they posted a long time ago. What I am saying is, has Anovos actually been working on manufacturing this kit, or is this just a more detailed version of the same update we got before? I understand the complexity in making these kits with the steel molds, but that doesn't justify the allowance of infinite time. No such business exists and is allowed to fulfill their orders "whenever they get to it", except this one apparently. Since 2016, a solid deadline has never been set nor stated, and a worst-case scenario has never been projected or expressed. All orders of anything on this planet have a solid deadline, not as many delays at their discretion. And when delays like that happen in real life, then customers always get compensated (by $$). For this particular order, neither of those are happening either. Even with all the various armorers and vendors I've looked up and heard stories from, the latest fulfillment time I ever heard was 6 months, and nothing like this. For this Anovos vendor, I'm really sorry but I truly feel something is not right, at least with this specific order. Sure all other orders got fulfilled by Anovos for other products before. But whoever is in charge of this particular order, something doesn't seem right. And I haven't got any real reason from them for the delay on updating the shipping calendar. Also, for some unknown reason, their shipping calendar on their website still hasn't been updated to reflect this announcement that they sent to all of us. Literally nothing has been updated since June officially, and even this doesn't usually happen on Anovos. Can some expert on this matter please investigate into this situation further? I am very concerned with the particular situation for this order from them. And I think for this particular order, someone needs to have a special look into it. Thanks so much! P.S. If possible, can anyone theorize what possible scenario out there would allow these items, especially the standard kit, to get shipped before the end of this year?

Hmm I still haven't seen any official announcements besides the email they sent. So from what it sounds like, they will begin shipping the first wave on November? Also, by "fine-tune" in their statement, that is towards the metal molds? I thought that their samples are already posted, so all they need to do now is begin fulfilling the orders? Hopefully an expert armorer and/or anybody can clarify to me what they mean by "fine-tune". Please let me know what "fine tune" means and how long that itself would actually take outside of their statement. For an armorer, after the molds are done, are there any other steps that could possibly delay the process further? P.S. I know that the standard kit does not come with the neck seal, gloves, and boots, and gluing material to assemble it. But does it come with the belt pouches, belt, and greebles? Does the standard kit provide the ribbed connectors between the armor or how are those parts used? How about fasteners, buckles, etc needed to put the armor together? Does belt suspensions and undersuit belt to suspend the thigh pieces, or anything to connect the pieces when donning on the armor, or anything else come with the kit? I never got a straight forward answer from the website chat regarding what the standard kit actually comes with, except that it doesn't come with boots, gloves, undersuit and neck seal......... Much thanks

It is almost september 21. Today is already the 19th. Did anyone receive notification yet?

Is there any other way to confirm if the kits are being made? Where is all the production pictures? How can we confirm actual production? These kits and ensembles will be fulfilled right?

Is there any word from them yet?

Well, I really want to go trooping with my kit before the end of this trooping year, and now it is way too close for comfort for me to rely on getting the kit to assemble and troop with it this year. I really wanted to troop last year with the kit when they promised by fall 2017 and now 3 additional season delays and counting have passed. Should I just forget about waiting to troop with the anovos FOTK for this trooping year, wait for my pre order to arrive with 10+ more season delays, and just go ahead with my trooping with my ESB TK gear like I did before? Or is it reasonable to wait for the FOTK kit to arrive on time before the end of the trooping year this time? Any suggestions? P.S I ordered the standard fotk kit. I assume all the premier kits and ensembles would ship out first before the standard kits are even considered?

Trying to upload more pics later on. Other pics too big at the moment.

Hi everyone, Here are the pictures that I collected from RS when they were building my full commission. Best, Jordan
