Star Wars Helmets

I have. When someone states something that simply isn't true (EFX takes full payment, exclusively, and sits on it) I'm going to speak to that. Why don't you chime in on the Anovos threads, where we know that sort of nonsense goes on?
Qui, As far as Anovos is concerned, Ive never ordered anything from them, nor added any reviews of their stuff to my site (you can check) - so have no first-hand experience of what is going on there. I did contact them a couple of years ago (and since) to try and work something out so I could get hold of one of their helmets to review - but to be frank I don't think they are interested.
As it stands I don't even own a single Anovos product (although am in process of buying a 2nd hand FO Trooper from a fellow RPF'er) - but never even touched an Anovos product. So I hardly feel I can comment on their current poor service - even if it is as trashy as you suggest.
However, as far as EFX, I HAVE (as have a number of other people) PAID 100% FULL up-front over 2 years ago. All we get are the kind of excuses the very worst prop-makers used to give a decade ago. Frankly its gone on so long its actually quite pathetic.
We all know that if they really wanted to, they COULD resolve the Scout Trooper issue and start shipping. Hell they COULD ship the "free" PCR Vader helmets to International customers - but clearly they either cant be bothered or cant afford to do it. Either way its really poor form and understandably people have questioned the ethics of selling something new - while ignoring their responsibilities.
