Requesting 501st access TK19232 Central California Garrison http://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=26466&costumeID=124

Yeah, I learned the hard way: Not a good option if you're doing your first build unless you want to hang on for one more harvest with Uncle Owen. I canceled my order mid-September but didn't receive my refund until I threatened a "charge-back" with them around the 28th day after cancelling. Since then, I purchased a kit from RS and actually put it together these past 2 months and just found out today that I am now TK 19232! If you're still waiting for a refund, threatening a charge-back seemed to get their attention.

Hi Nate, I'm enjoying your build thread. I just started a TK ANH Stunt (RS) build. I'm curious why people plasti-dip the inside of the helmet. Is this for comfort or to conceal the inside a bit better? I was wondering if it was to make the inside cooler but to me it seems like the black would make it hotter. Anyway, good luck with your build and glad to hear you weathered the storm safely.

For informational purposes, if someone is interested in Anovos wait times, they are currently having quality issues (as of the time of this post) for TK kits. I placed an order in May that was scheduled to ship a few days ago and it did not. I have found folks on the forums still waiting for Anovos TK armor that was ordered as far back as August 2016. I have since cancelled my order with them as they don't seem to have any idea when product will be available.

Thanks for the reply Steve. I cancelled my order with Anovos and placed one with RS instead. Anovos said they "hope to have orders filled by Halloween (10/31)", but I find that hard to believe given that some people have been waiting a year. When I made my initial decision, I was torn between Anovos and RS and now I guess RS was meant to be. I don't necessarily have an issue with Anovos having delays-stuff happens, but the way they handled it was poor IMO. I contacted them on 9/10 and they informed me everything looked good for my summer delivery and then 2 days later on their site they made the update/change to the delivery calendar. I feel like they could have been a little more forthcoming with their issues.

Wow, I ordered in May of 2017 and didn't realize they still haven't fulfilled orders from August 2016. I was also surprised to hear from them that the "manufacturer" is having issues. I was led to believe that Anovos was doing the manufacturing. Amazing that they are staying in business. I have to imagine this will be a huge black eye for them. So disappointing. This is my first set of armor and this news just ruined my weekend.
