Kremss Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I received mine and the helmet seems warped. The bridge of the nose is off center and the teeth when looking at the right side of the mask seem further back then the left. Anyone else have this problem?

artimorty Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I suspect a lot of cancellations moved peoples dates around.Really? "A lot of cancellations"? I don't mess much outside white armor for this anovos issue, so I may be missing something, but I don't get the impression that "a lot" of cancellation have happened. There might have been a few, but for what I read here, people seem to be quite happy with their kits and only minor complaints. Am I wrong?

sylverbard[TK] Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I know a few people jumped on them and then when the realization hit that it wasn't going to be theirs by Dec 17, or even approvable because nobody had seen it, they cancelled. I agree that there can't have been hundreds to cover the fact that people who ordered in November are getting them...that's kinda of crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremss Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Let's see some pics! I did these earlier. I can get better pics up in a bit. What I was told by anovos customer service was they were within tolerance. http://imgur.com/a/q442t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else have this problem?Hi Jason.Take a look at these other thread here: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35161-anovos-crooked-frown/page-3? There you can compare some pics with yor helmet. The link will (hopefully) take you to the third page of the thread where is reposted "somebody's FB picture" of a before/after easy five minutes modding of the left side of the frown. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or may be that anovos has the mother of all the shipment departments and they rock! One way or another I agree that the shipment seems to be much faster than expected, at least within USA. Let's see how things go here in Europe next week. Mine should be in one of those lots... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlayneFitz[TK] Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 In regards to those waiting on international shipping to begin, I just received tracking information/shipping label being made from FedEx. Its being sent to Northern Ireland in the Uk. A very optimist estimated delivery of Feb 4th which I won't get my hopes up for. I ordered on May 4th at 20 minutes til midnight. Looks like anovos' expected shipment dates were miscalculated again! This time it's earlier Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kira47[TK] Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Ugh! Why did I hesitate in ordering earlier I'm pretty sure I'm in the bottom of the list and won't be getting it until the end of March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kman[TK] Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) Ugh! Why did I hesitate in ordering earlier I'm pretty sure I'm in the bottom of the list and won't be getting it until the end of March I ordered towards the end of the day on the last day, May 4, and I got mine several days ago now, well before others who ordered earlier. I don't think when you ordered has much to do with when you get your box. They're shipping is just all over the map. That said, I think international shipments have the biggest delay. My impression is most if not all of the Tier 1 orders are all shipped at this point, in the US, and other countries are finally getting their BBBs as well now. I think they're shipping well ahead of schedule. (except for the soft goods, which no one has seen yet) Edited January 30, 2016 by kman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biogradbooth Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I suspect a lot of cancellations moved peoples dates around. I was wondering the same thing but then I would think we would be hearing about all kinds of folks on the forums cancelling. I really haven't heard about very many doing so. I think maybe they had a ship from China hit port much sooner than expected. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviticus113 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Mine came this morning! I ordered on May 3 and live in the Memphis area. I think my 3 year old was almost as excited as me. He'd ripped the packing tape off before I rounded the corner. I can't wait to put it all together. Super excited for my first build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I kind of need one of these Saw some Anovos buckets this evening at our squad dinner and I was not impressed with the quality or the fit and finish. I know it's mass produced but the helmet just seems off and doesn't feel right to me. Would I pay $350 for a kit with helmet, yes. Would u pay $609 for the same kit,never.

ItsTheRocketeer Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) What does everyone think of the thickness? Maybe I'm just used to my old FX but it seems a bit thin to me.

themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 DBoz managed to get the rivet covers off his belt with a bit of careful knife use (http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35115-dboz-anovos-tk-build/?p=461544). Seems they are super glued on, does anyone know if superglue remover will eat ABS at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone mentioned that if you froze a superglued joint you can crack it apart, although I cannot personally attest to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superglue basically hates water. You could soak it in hot water. I don't think Loctite Superglue remover eats abs but some superglue remover is pretty much just acetone which will.
