Anovos- or somewhere else?

[Caldbr]

Yes, I'm new, never built a costume, but been a fan since I first saw the original. I've always wanted Armor. So now I have the means to purchase but not sure who to buy a complete set from. I've been thinking Avonos but can't seem to find any reviews or hard evidence of the quality they produce. The wait time seems to be an issue as well. Maybe that's common? Idk!? I have looked thru the list of who not to buy from and seems like everyone stops short of giving you their opinion of who to buy from. The ones I've seen the most, seem to be in the UK? Any help, advise, suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome aboard, Anovos is new to the game and as yet has not supplied any TK armor to the public, they are due December I believe. A list of vetted sellers can be found in the Getting Started section

Their goal is to start shipping late November, although the people whom have pre-ordered should get an update within a week so there might be new info then.

I'm looking forward to a purchase that I made from them yesterday said it should be shipping in November I can keep you posted when I get in the email from them.

Greetings Bryan, and welcome to the FISD!!!

 

As for your questions, some have already been answered. I will add however, that wait time like that is actually not all that bad. Waits of up to a year for some of the more in-demand parts/accessories/kits is not all that uncommon. This hobby is not cheap, and not typically fast. It will require a healthy dose of research and patience.

 

Through all of that however, the FISD is here to help you and guide you. We all know without a doubt that your TK journey will be a fun one. Our goal is to make sure it is a successful one. While you're conducting your research, be sure to look at some build threads to see how the armor is generally assembled.

 

Once you've started to get comfortable with that idea, have a look at the Advanced Tactics section. This is the home of the Detachment's EIB and Centurion programs for increased accuracy. Using these submission threads as your study guide will ensure that you are using armor builds that have been approved as the most accurate within the Legion as your basis and this will help you in knowing how your armor should look when you finally begin building. I can also tell you that it is typically simpler to build your armor to the EIB/Centurion standards than it is to go back and upgrade it. Food for thought.

 

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. That's why we're here!
