ANOVOS issues (ANOVOS ONLY discussion)

Yeah some international dealers/distributors would be great.

I'm really grateful we have some fantastic artisans in the UK or I'd be spending a fortune on shipping and taxes.
 
Technically, we can start receiving orders. It is the darn VAT registration we are waiting on !

Thanks for the reply, Got Maul.
If this is the case are you actually accepting orders now in anticipation of receiving the registration or is the pre-order for the Stormtrooper currently an exception?

Some international distributors in the future would help a lot the customers who have to pay VAT, customs and other taxes.

Indeed it would.
International shipping charges coupled with those pesky import taxes can amount to incredible costs.

Perhaps this is something Anovos is already looking into. If not, they will consider doing so.
 
EFX failed with their Legend items in this case repeatedly, let's hope Anovos will consider international distribution.
 
Reminder people, cause I almost forgot myself!

Last day for the stormtrooper Tier 1 pre-order.

Today is 15% off on all Star Wars items!

Thanks ANOVOS, you guys are awesome!

Wut? I'm not seeing that anywhere on the site.

Edit***Ahhh, randomly took a stab at "Maythe4th" and it did nothing. Forgot about it, tried adding a different product, and THEN it kicked in. Guess it was a bit much to hope that the 15% would apply to the already insane price on the kit :)
 
All this is so exciting news!!!

Just purchased my New Hope Stormtrooper and subscribed to the newsletter. Thanks Anovos!!!
 
We will be doing this costume. What is not seen are the multiple layers underneath the overcoat. I can't guarantee this will be under $2,000 as we have yet to build our prototype but the complexity of it reminds me of Darth Maul's intricacy from Ep1.

Keep bustin' foo !

I'm almost afraid to ask but what is the ANOVOS Stance on builders like myself especially on the kylo ren front haha should we all expect to burn in the hellfire of litigation. ? or will we be allowed to continue making things as this community always has. I kinda feel there hasn't been the right place to ask this question but you seem forthcoming and i know myself and many many other builders are interested on the stance here.

*GULP*:$

I can't answer that on behalf of Disney legal. All I know is infringement is infringement . It doesn't matter if their is a current licensee or not, the image and property doesn't belong to you and those who make a profit off it , are ripping off Disney and misrepresenting the brand through an unlicensed goods. Whether you are making one dollar or $10,000 dollars off of a name brand that isn't yours, there is no legal ground to stand on as the lawyers move to bankrupt you, your family and your life through litigation or settlement.

You do what you do at your own risk and accept all consequences as a result. That's all that I really have to say about that.
 
Fyi-just noticed on the company facebook page two interesting recent updates:

1. reminder for snowtroopers to send a preference email to their Support email on "yes" weathering or "no" weathering.
I used the Order Confirm email as the reply message.

2. Orange is the new black.
For those on the other side of the fence, hopefully you get to chose from different Reb pilot helmets.

Looks like things are on pace.

I never saw this facebook post? Can you link it? I pre-ordered my snowtrooper the first day and haven't heard a word since aside from what i've asked here on this forum..

It's off their Facebook history, but company always double post on Twitter:

Scroll all the way to April 9, 2015. Just email them and Customer Support opens a Ticket for followup:

Real quick & efficient.
Can't wait for this outfit and the AtAt Driver.
 
@GotMaul:

Talk about various social media got me thinking if Anovos has an official Youtube channel.
Came across something, not sure. Enjoyed the interview ones where company people discussed work & process.
Would like to see some official channel that collects all these news bits and even showcase each product.
Kinda commercial, but still informative. Guys have a lot of product being released right now.
Maybe even collaberate w/Jez at StarWarsHelmets.com to get the vids out.
His were always pretty well done.
 
GotMaul, I apologize if this has been covered already, but is Anovos looking to offer lightsaber hilts or various other weaponry from the Star Wars saga?

Thanks,

Vince
 
Qft.

I saw this happen first hand to a friend in the 90's and it still gives me the shakes today

We totally get it. I have my international warehouses set up in the UK and Germany ready to go. The VAT folks just keep scrutinizing us for all kinds of docs, and for good measure, I suppose. Make no mistake about it all, we are working as quickly on this as possible.



Yes !

@GotMaul - Do you have any sense on timing for your Kylo Ren offering Q3, Q4, next year?

We will release a Kylo combo, but unfortunately, I can't speak to the release date.

Done. I realllllyyy hope they make their Fall deadline. Would love this for Halloween this year, lol.

We are working as hard as possible to make this happen. I was just looking at armor parts with China the other day.

We are working on finding a solution for you !

Any updates on the Luke Bespin stuff?

Big update coming along for the Bespin stuff. I am still very very very apologetic for the delay this has taken but I promise the final product will blow your socks off.

Qft.

I think we are talking about the same person. I never forgot that and it shook all our foundations. It is what eventually pushed us to doing this legitimately.
 
Along with the Stormtrooper material change from abs to pvc, the Snowtrooper listing now shows pvc.
The AtAt Driver still shows abs.
Not a big deal, but wonder about the change.
Here's to hoping the next sets of helmets (waiting on the Gunner, then Scout) come out after the new year.
