Hey guys, just wanted to pop in here real quick and say that earlier today, I saw the first sample from the new factory that took over this project and it was just about there.
All of the major long standing problems had been fixed. Other than a couple super minor tweaks this should be good to go.
Most of the current issues you might see in pics of this sample are dealing with paint apps.
Some areas were painted matte where they should be glossy, some areas painted glossy where they should be painted matte.
Also the visor bolt shape needs some tweaking and there was some uneven trimming on the return edge of the front visor.
Nevertheless, those are easy fixes and I was very pleased with the sample overall.
For those who are coming to Wondercon in LA this weekend, we have this sample at the show if you want to check it out first hand.
It came today! I am happy. Miracles can happen:

It took a year to get a refund from the time I requested one, but persisting and using the Vader helmet e-mail offer as an opening to possibility for a refund was a good opening for trying to get it.
It almost didn't get delivered due to wrong address, but my old neighbors were nice enough to watch out and retrieve it for me.
How long did it take to get a reply from the Bikerscout email address?
No reply to my cancellation request. Yawn

What's the status of this helmet for people who pre-ordered and deposited money? I don't even think the Darth Vader helmet took this long.
