TEN years? TEN?!?
I thought you were laughing that they would extend their license at all given how they do business.
Yeah, the length seemed long to me as well. Supposedly, and I stress supposedly this was from a Rebelscum member who is known to work for EFX but I can't remember where I saw it. It was just this morning or yesterday. The memory is going and I'm only 44.

That would be no extending, that would be a sort of sabotage.

I would have a hard time not getting the Boba Fett helmet. At least I now know I have ten years to save up for it.

That would mean that Disney is giving a **** on how their licencess companies sell their stuff and would put them in a very bad light.. I mean anyone who is not blind knows that this company has no future to survive with such selling practices.

While nothing is really being sold, they seem to be taking molds from a lot of stuff.
You have to wonder, is EFX even about selling replicas?
I'm trying to watch what I say here, but Is the Scout Trooper armour that's been molded going to be offered for sale? If not, why was it molded?

Well...at least GINO ends up with his personal 2nd generation copies of the stuff eFX molded :rolleyes
I really hope this company will overcome the current problems with delays and -most of all- poor communication! Take a look at ANOVOS....they are encountering delays in production as well, BUT the main difference is how they manage customer communication/ updating their website etc.
Communication is the key ladies and gentlemen...GINO, please talk to the management of eFX and get them to update their website and send out eMails to all their customers about the products timelines. You´ll be surprised how much undertanding and patience your customers will be willing to show, once their worries are taken care of.
Hiding/ stopping communication is not the way to handle a business

Exactly!
All the pieces I have from eFX are really well done. & I enjoy them being displayed around my house to this day. I've had emails back & forth with Brian (a few years ago), & he was very courteous & professional. I want this company to succeed. I just ask of them to communicate with us, even a little more. If they did, I think a lot would be forgiven.
I think what we're really asking for is understanding on their part.

Communication is only one part. Even with a better communication i would not do any business with a company that takes my money and then need years to come over with a product. No way.
2-3 months delay after taking my money, maybe a half year ..... but that´s it. After that they are not trustworthy in my books anymore. If i can wait and buy the stuff after release without a big markup on price, i wait. With a to big markup, i refrain - i´m not to greedy to get that now-made stuff. Under the line it´s all just toys, not a rare thing off the same kind as used on screen (like a real Hensoldt, Kobold, ....., for example.
If they put me on their list and only picking up my money shortly before shipping, then they can take all the time they want - but not with my money in their pockets.

Maybe on Marvel and other sections/licenses, not Star Wars one. What we have from photos at this SDCC, we've had last year too.

Thank you. I knew I had something about that wrong. :$
So is it for sure EFX has had their license renewed???

I think that part is true since TK1701 collaborates/works with EFX.

This is both brutal and a shame to watch. Never pre-ordered anything from efx, but yea....

Do they even care. I see every thread about EFX only talking about how bad they are and how fed up we are with them. Granted I started one with that purpose but even ones that were about excitement have turned bitter and angry and for good reason.
Such a simple and easy fix. So sad.
