RTrooperAlex Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 What is the difference beside a couple hundred dollars? I'm assuming the kit required me to build it, but is the completed ensemble is ready to wear? Or would I still have to work on it?

I'd imagine the completed ensemble would just involve a few fitting tweaks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABS80 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) 3 x the price because trimming/assembling requires a ton of more work, if you don't have the skills or patience get the ready to wear but it comes with the price tag and you will still need further custom adjustments, no out of box ready to wear armor will fit perfect.

Skye's Vater Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 If you're thinking of buying the ensemble you might as well commission from other sources. There are better ones than Anovos and I'm sure somebody can back me up on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikidymac[TK] Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Nobody has seen the completed kit from Anovos. Keep in mind that if they build the suit it will not be fitted to your body like you can when you build it yourself. Also they will probably assemble it with their velcro and elastic which most have found is far from the best way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 The satisfaction you get when you've completed a TK kit on your own, priceless! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKZombie[TK] Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 So not worth that price. $1150 assembly fee is ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kman[TK] Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 More important than the price is the fact that I have yet to see an single report of anyone who ordered a completed ensemble actually receiving one! AFAIK they're all still waiting... including those who ordered (and paid) in early 2015! Has anyone actually seen one delivered yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK they're all still waiting... including those who ordered (and paid) in early 2015! Has anyone actually seen one delivered yet? I haven't heard of anybody getting them. But according tho their website it says that completed ensembles will start shipping in quarter 2. However there are holds on new orders. Also all of the remaining kits are sold out. I have a feeling that we won't be seeing any new Anovos stormtrooper kits for a very long time. They still haven't even started shipping older orders of costumes that they promised some time ago. They have to get to those at some point and it seems like they can really only do one full costume at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggriffaw Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 An important question is how close you are to the ideal stormtrooper size, assuming you will be wearing the suit and not just displaying it. I believe that is 5 feet 10 inches with a medium build. If you are not close to that, the pre-built suit won't work without major modifications.

(I had to, also, and I weigh a little less) The stock suit definitely will not fit you well. It CAN fit you well, but not without modifications.
