    Well..... a little news....

    1. All FOTK pushed back to Q4 = Shocking News!

    2. Class Action Lawsuit has reached a settlement per the court website.

     

    Unfortunately it looks like the settlement only covered the 3 or 4 plaintiffs against Anovos. What about the rest of us who have been waiting (some of which like myself since 2016???)

    It's very obvious the Anovos stuff is going to Galaxy's edge since it has the Anovos tag right on it, the Kylo Helmet, FOTK helmet and armor kit despite them claiming it was from a different supply chain which is just a bunch of crap It is also obvious our FOTK kits were used on the Rise of the Resistance animatronics. So a very big YES, Anovos sent our pre-orders to the parks and left us hanging.

     

    One interesting thing though was that on Sunday I was at Disneyland and there was no price sign on the Kylo helmet like before but I did not ask if they had any or not but to my surprise when I got home on Monday I had a shipping notice for my Kylo helmet that had been on order for over a year.

     

    And yesterday it arrived.

  3. Well I just heard from Anovos today after reaching out to their customer support line on Sept 11 to update my shipping address. 

     

    I heard from "Stanley" and he confirmed my shipping address has been updated for all my outstanding orders. He finished with

     

    "Keep an eye out for our next newsletter coming out soon! We will be giving you the details when items will start shipping.

    Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns. Thank you! "

     

     

    Basically Same old story...non info update.....

     I’ve finally closed the Anovos chapter of my life.

    I had 2 FOTK standard kits on order. I cancelled one early this year and got refunded, hoping the second would come through. 
    Both ordered in August 2016, the second refund has taken me 4 weeks but it finally happened today - NEVER EVER AGAIN will I give these thieves and liars another cent.

    I hope you all get money/product down the line, somehow.

    I know the full story of why/how they got to this point with the FOTK kits, yet stood by them. It was my bad call.

    Anyway, I now have a first class ABS kit, ordered and delivered within a week that I’ll work on and bid this dark part of my costuming a grim fairwell...

    I am SOOOO close to joining you. I have been on order since September 2016 for the FOTK and 2 years on the Kylo Ren helmet. Would you mind detailing the process you used to get your refund? I think at this point I am ready to move on to another vendor that actually ships. (incidentally who did you end up going with?)

    No, I did see them though. To be honest I was just as surprised to here someone was able to pick up a bucket there, until I found out today Disney has contracted Anovos to be their supplier for another 3 years.  Just guessing here but if that's the case Anovos probably sent every helmet they had in stock to Disney for GE opening. 

    You mean they sent all three of their demo/con/trade show buckets to Anaheim. -_-

    Since I'm one who ordered "with helmet", wanted the TFA version, will likely be getting the TLJ version if hints are accurate, and the TFA buckets are already hella expensive on the secondary market... if you wanted to swap whenever the heck my probably-TLJ helmet arrives, lemme know. I know their advertising photos of the TLJ helmet show something less than 100% accurate to the film prop. Maybe the finished product will nail it better, we'll see. But the offer's there.

    Cool PM'ing you.......

  7. While we're on the subject of gaskets - I'd like to get the quality non-Anovos set that most of you are talking about.  Pinky's gaskets are the ones to get right?

    I mean since Anovos gaskets are delayed and from the pics they appear to be cloth (not rubber) I might as well. 

     

    I am also one of the folks who ordered (and received) the TFA helmet from Anovos when I pre-ordered what was advertised as the TFA armor kit. Who sells a nice TLJ bucket kit? Looks like now I'll need that too.....

    I don't think Anovos is too concerned whether the armor is 501st approvable out of the box. Obviously they have another priorities, like sales. And technically they're correct this armor doesn't need paint, it's white and the resin pieces are white. What they're not telling buyers is if they plan on seeking to join the 501st modifications will need to performed.

     

    That said not everyone buying one these costumes, or any other costume from any supplier is planning on joining the 501st. 

     

    I DEFINITELY want to be 501st approved. Its been a goal of mine ever since I started doing research, seeing you guys in the community (shoutout to 501ner), started working my other star wars  costumes, and going to cons. I sincerely hope that when our kits do finally arrive that you all will share exactly the mods needed to make the anovos kit 501st approvable.

    This statement comes way too late and is well timed ahead of Celebration. They know they are in the firing line.

    Anyone planning to go to the panel they’re talking on next Friday?

    Are you serious???? Anovos has the moxie to hold a panel at CELEBRATION?????? People are going to rip them to shreds.......I mean I have been waiting (like most of you since 2016 for this kit, and I have been waiting for other star wars items to ship as well) I keep the faith but its tough.  I hope you guys record the panel or post highlights to this thread. I'll be all waiting to hear what happens. 

     

    I see they have a booth but they are not listed as an event/panel according to the celebration schedule I see.
