Dark PWF[Staff] Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 For all of you who have been waiting for the date that you can preorder the FOTK armor kit, that day is today. Brace your wallets. Especially if you're afraid to build it yourself. .<br><br> <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.anovos.com/collections/star-wars-the-force-awakens/products/star-wars-the-force-awakens-first-order-stormtrooper-kit-with-helmet-pre-order'>http://www.anovos.com/collections/star-wars-the-force-awakens/products/star-wars-the-force-awakens-first-order-stormtrooper-kit-with-helmet-pre-order</a> 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artimorty Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Woooooaaa<br> I know this a more complex armor, an also a harder to build, but 2,225$ just for the kit seems a little too much. Don't know if it's off the market. Will it worth it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it's off the market. Will it worth it? If you run the numbers it's actually surprisingly close to a fan made kit once you account for this comes with a premium line bucket, boots, gloves and gaskets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFO[TK] Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 For a lazy AUD3000.00 that's quite a kit! If delivering Sept 2016 I wonder if that means they'll deliver just in time for Episode VII Good to see they've finally been announced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artimorty Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 So it's not so far off the market... Good to know. In that case I will give it a second thought...<br> Other stuff anovos has launched was criticized as "overpriced" (obviously not the OT TK armor, which I ordered) and didn't know if this one was another case.<br> Thanks very much for your opinion.

And that neck seal looks fairly screen accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'm actually rather surprised at the kit. Despite having sworn off them, if I had the money I'd probably have been first in line on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK19140[TK] Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Standard Kit in August? Wonder if Standard line is offered with boots and gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it's off the market. Will it worth it? Given the quality and price of currently available FOTK kits, this is not bad, really. Especially as others have mentioned, since it includes the boots, gloves, gaskets, etc... I actually expected it to be a little more expensive than it is, at launch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T K[501st] Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 And this is where I wish I wasn't going to college. Haha! Someday I'll get some FO armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raintrooper Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 That's not a bad price, really... The Alpha 75 suits didn't come with boots, and the price on those was around $1,900, with boots being in the $100-150 range. I guesstimated this kit costing about $2,500+ once it hit the general public. If I had the money, I'd be all over this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejango[TK] Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) oh my lord what is this, over $2k for all of that. pish posh on anovos' FOTK, you'd be better off going with Jim's Edited May 28, 2016 by dejango 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzo[TK] Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'm really on the fence for this one vs waiting for the standard kit in August. I already have the helmet (see avatar) and could easily get boots elsewhere. They have stated that the Standard kit won't include helmet or boots but I'm wondering if the gaskets and other under parts will be of lesser quality. That premium helmet is $600 alone so the standard kit could be as little as $1300-$1400. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhongvador[501st] Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) And for those who wear shoes above size 11US??? They pay in full for the kit and re-buy their shoes somewhere else?? Edited May 28, 2016 by zhongvador 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clown3y[TK] Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Can you guys believe that the FOTK kit is actually cheaper than the ANOVOS Kylo WITHOUT a helmet? That's pretty cool if you ask me. Nonetheless, 2250$ is still a lot of money. I didn't expect it to be any cheaper. Is the term "Premier" meant to describe just the helmet or both the armor and the helmet? If it's the second option, then i'm really keen on finding out what the pricing on the "Standard" kit will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK19140[TK] Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 @clown3y yeah same here, that Kylo release had me scratching my head cost wise. Pretty sure they would not bundle a standard item in a premier set. Premier is the way to go if your into Anovos, but there are alternatives.

jkno Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 And that's before any additional custom/import charges! Of course. Add 19% to the total cost of the armor (kit or finished) and shipping - this is VAT. Then there will be customs taxes too, smaller amount, but still. Glad I'm only into OT Imperials and that I recently got my RS Stormie armor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cboath Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 (edited) I went to Romania last October - the airfare in Premium Economy was 2700 (Standard coach was 1800). Hard to believe they want just as much for a package. Edited May 28, 2016 by cboath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
