Rat[TK] Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Just out of curiosity, when did you place your order ? I placed my order 12/18/2016.Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat[TK] Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I also think they will start shipping faster since they are no longer prebuilding the belts. Now if they would stop prebuilding the buckets they could keep up with the orders better.Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger[IPM] Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Since they sell the buckets separately and assembled, that probably wouldn't make much of a dent either way I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat[TK] Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Possibly not, but it could shave time off kit delivery if they would just offer the kit as a full kit.Sent from my VK815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tydirium1[TK] Posted January 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 I hope they improve a lot more with their costumer service. It sucks for new people that are excited about getting started and getting out to do some trooping. Having to wait a couple of months is not a big deal, but when it runs into a year plus , it kinda knocks the wind out of your sails. Even with the holidays and a messed up arm Walt. , WTF , came thru. Although, a few days past 8 weeks. Like that was a big deal . If Only Anovos were just a few days past their schedule, I would have stayed with them. Walt's kit is of good quality, presently building. One day I would like to get a Anovos kit, perhaps do a HWT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movax Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I just got mine in this week, ordered December 2016. So far, I've only played with the helmet...it's a POS, I think. Helmet is very clearly deformed from top view and side view. Need to contact Anovos, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Anovos helmets are actually very accurate for the most part, as is the armor. BUT... the ABS tends to be a little thin in places and should be reinforced. If you could post up some detailed photos of the helmet we can better assist you in making the determination as to whether the helmet has any problems.

movax Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Of course pictures would help Attached two here, hopefully that shows that it's a bit oblong. I thought I remember reading somewhere that some of the actual props they used were messed up like this, but this is particularly jarring I feel.

It has been said they used the "Move along" bucket so if that's the case the bucket is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tydirium1[TK] Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Actually, I think it looks pretty good. The Helmet is one of the more difficult pieces to assemble properly. It looks as if they did a good job on that. The paint on the teeth however will have to be touched up. That seams to be the thing that stands out the most as far as something that would keep you from gaining appoval. If that is one of your goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just never noticed it because, well, the movies move quickly, and I don't exactly go up to folks in stormtrooper and detail eyeball their costumes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will find most makes of helmets are not symmetrical and oddly shaped, even full of bumps and lumps I would also advise touching up the paint on the teeth. Good luck with the build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, you should re-do the frown for better screen accuracy.

But I also bought TheLoneRanger's AM kit today, so at least I have that to work on while I wait. I got my refund last week. If anyone is still waiting for theirs, just keep at it. Polite weekly reminders that you're in Day XX of the 15-day refund process seem to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
