WhiteNight[TK] Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 I have this fantasy. You know how swear words get transformed on FISD into something less offensive? The forum software can be configured to do that to anything really. There is a good chance that I will make it so that anytime anyone uses the word Anovos on the forum it is transmogrified into "cute white fluffy bunnies sitting on rainbow next to a cute puppy." -Eric (not really) I'd love to read this!

Astyanax Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Ah Vern, you beat me to the punch by mere moments. But here's the text of the CWFBSORNTACP email: Welcome to a very special BONUS update, Troopers! As promised in our last update, we wanted to share some new photos and videos with you because YOU are the ones who made it possible. Here’s what the world’s largest production run of high-quality Stormtrooper armor looks like! Many of us have done some small vacuforming projects at home, but seeing it on this scale truly gives us goosebumps. A sea of white armor that translates into a lot of dreams coming true very soon for an Empire of Star Wars fans! We also have a few photos of the rough cut pieces which should be very close to how you’ll receive them if you ordered the kit version. All raw pieces come with a thin layer of clear protective plastic that simply peels away. Note that the helmet will also come completed (unless you ordered the helmet kit as a standalone item), and the cloth belt with real leather holster will come pre-assembled including the “thermal detonator” cylinder for the back of the belt. One less part to build! And if you think these photos are cool, be sure to check out these special behind-the-scenes videos we shot for you! Remember that now is the time to ensure that you have the correct shipping address associated with your order to prevent unnecessary delays or even lost packages! INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADDRESS CHANGE: You can verify the shipping address we have on record by going to http://www.CWFBSORNTACP.com/account/loginor, if you don't have an CWFBSORNTACP.com account, please refer to your email receipt. Anyone with an address change MUST email us at support@CWFBSORNTACP.com with “TK ADDRESS CHANGE” in the subject line---updating your info in your CWFBSORNTACP.com account alone does not complete the address change! Please provide: 1. Your order number(s). 2. Your original shipment address. 3. Your NEW shipment address. A final friendly reminder that packaging and safety testing are still in progress, so please understand there are no guarantees for either a movie premier or a Holiday delivery. We are still looking at Tier 1 pre-orders to begin shipping to customers in December, so use #CWFBSORNTACP and we'll be watching social media feeds to see who posts about theirs first! Due to the high volume of shipments, deliveries may likely continue through January 2016 or later. Thank you again for your continued support...we’re almost there! Be sure to ‘like’ our Facebook page at facebook.com/CWFBSORNTACP, follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/CWFBSORNTACP, and on Instagram at instagram.com/CWFBSORNTACP. For the Empire!

Ryth_[501st] Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 This impressed the heck out of me. https://youtu.be/rwR7g2qDu-U?list=PLSJtNgxkJ-rLqjWEwKebYsHJsp6oSoz21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2trooper Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) Well,the thermal detonator build is way off. A stunt bucket with hero belt and holster. <br><br>For me, meh... I'm glad I passed on the run. But I have two sets that still aren't done yet. For those that are getting this, I hope it turns out good. I need to get off my bum and get my RS Props done, and get my membership!!!! Edited November 13, 2015 by R2trooper 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astyanax Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) But in all seriousness, now we know that the belt-holster attachment problem is real. Time for us CWFBSORNTACP buyers to start getting replacement belts and holsters. I sense a lot of ANH Hero builders getting some really cheap belts and holsters in the near future. Unless any of you veterans think the belt or holster might be salvageable? I would love to get a jump on what I have to replace.

Ryth_[501st] Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 It's only a belt. You can swap this easily, and you have the time to do this before it ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James[501st] Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'm all but certain you can just pop the top rivets and snaps and move on. It's not likely to leave a gaping maw and after a couple of troops your belt will have plenty of other .. "character." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get off my bum and get my RS Props done, and get my membership!!!! I'm not familiar enough with the TD, so what exactly is wrong with their build? Genuinely curious. In addition to that, I don't know if they're sending the TD built or not. Anyone have any insight into that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kredal[TK] Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 So the holster is attached with Chicago screws, pop out the top two and you're fine. As long as the belt doesn't fray... Maybe a spot of superglue around the threads?<br><br> The TD should be fine for level 1 approval, but the metal clips should be right next to the endcaps. There's only so far you can move them out before uncovering the current screw holes.<br><br> Pretty sure it's all good enough for the Shadowtrooper (next June or so!) though.

charlesnarles Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Very sharp compared to my ATA (which I love dearly, btw #1stbucket). Can't wait to finally start this project and see their finished helmets first-hand. Maybe someone could post the new pics next to those of the prototype? (I'll do it soon if not) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryth_[501st] Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 How thick was the ABS? Last thing I've heard was that they were going to use PVC, since they've bought a ton of that stuff, and now they're not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astyanax Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Trying to estimate the count of all those chest plates in the pic above in order to determine how many they made. It looks like about 5,000 to me. That's a big response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
