Andreastrooper Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) So this guy on a famous listingpage in my country is asking around 9000 NOK = 1000 usd. It is unpainted and untrimmed. Is this a good price? Or should i wait to order the anovos version? Does anybody know hat the realese date for the preorder and what the pricemark is?

Lmu4eJ Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 That's the armor made by Jim in the Philippines, I think with shipping it'll come to that cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biogradbooth Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 That looks pretty far off the mark if you're looking to get 501st approval or want to be screen accurate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk What justifies your statement? That's Jims kit and he is 501st approved in multiple costumes if I recall. Also a bunch of people have already gotten his kit and been approved to my knowledge. The kit has to be cut, sanded, bonded, and fitted before one can judge it's accuracy in my opinion Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biogradbooth Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) The above pictured armor is an earlier version of Jims kits I believe. If you look through his entire build thread you'll start to see where he made improvements. Here are a few things to note: 1. Butt plate is way off. Cod piece too though I don't know if he has changed that. 2. Spats 3. Clips on helmet. He made those lower profile in later versions. 4. "Widows peek" in calf pieces Here are some pics of both screen used and Anovos to compare with: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited December 24, 2015 by biogradbooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobasDent1138 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I think considering the anovos line is rumored to be $1800-2000 usd for a KIT, Jims is a solid deal. He is also editing the sculpts so if you wait a couple of months his kit will be closer to the anovos since he's seen them up close Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yummi Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 If they sell the kit for 1800-2000 they are high beyond the world. I think 1800 should be ensembled not a damn kit! Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Yeah tell me about it. But it's new, fresh, and off of screen used resources. So there ya go. But I don't think it needs paint, as it's vaformed. I could be wrong. I didn't have the test armor like guys in the 501st. Still, you could get an $800/900 kit from jim, test it, if you don't like it return it or sell it off as opposed to dropping close to $2000. Again though, just going based off of what I've heard.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk I'm trying to research this 1800 anvos kit. I can't find any video or article to support it. Do you by chance have a article or link supporting that or is it just hearsay right now? Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget what it was based on but someone in the 501st gave that estimate. Personally id like a definite answer. Is assume if Animefan is selling his for 1400 anovos can no way be cheaper than that Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexx2208 Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) I would also have to agree, that's one of Jim's older versions. Since he's began making it, it's been upgraded and changed multiple times. There is an ongoing thread on the rpf with his improvements and sales list. He also seems to be offering a Phasma upgrade kit, which I'm going to try out when I get my set in March. From my emailing with him, he's really nice and seems to want the sets out to everyone ASAP. I also think some of those issues were resolved, but I could be wrong. Honestly, if there was something he changed later, it seems like he would probably sell it to you if you needed it for approval, or if you just liked it. I think you just need to ask sometimes.
