I don’t know. Feels to me like 20 of us ordered burgers and two of us got a slice of tomato.
nothing at all promising going on here.

Never tell me the odds![]()
I‘d be happy with a slice of tomato at this point!I don’t know. Feels to me like 20 of us ordered burgers and two of us got a slice of tomato.

Will give them a call when I get the chance. Thanks for the inside info!You’d be surprised how often the obvious is overlooked, haha. I saw someone in one of the Mando groups complaining because he thought it was actually glitter in the metal paint! Can’t blame them though, not many folks have first hand experience with these paints.
Calling is your best bet if possible. I believe Sam recently had a surgery for something so perhaps he is a little behind. Last I talked to him, he mentioned the site was being worked on to fix the “shipping glitch.”
Have you ever heard of or tried Pro Chrome from Mouldlife? They may be able to ship to you, and I’ve heard it is somewhat comparable to Alumaluster.
I can't see much risk in not getting the Mandalorian helmet within a few weeks of paying for it. Plenty of people have already received theirs in that kind of timeframe.
Other items from Anovos are a very different story though.
Hopefully other products will be manufactured at the same facility as the Mandalorian helmet eventually. It will probably be a while if they have a long list for the Mandalorian helmets.
I think it's more about wanting to make a living bringing awesome things you love to the world over any notion of "talent". I would rather say "just because you can sand and paint doesn't mean you have the chops to run a business" (one of several reasons why I don't, haha), but I think in the case of props and models, success is largely dictated by the current state of fandom. Master Replicas had a good run- it was managed by people who had been around the block once or twice at the same time "prop fandom" was at a peak with the Prequel films coming out. Once they were done, so was MR, more or less. NONE of the latest genre shows (The Mandalorian excluded) have generated any real interest in props, costumes or models of the "high end" variety. People still want screen accurate Darth Vader suits, E11s and TOS communicators, but I doubt as many will care about Kylo Ren or Michael Burnham in five years, let alone 20!And let it be known that this former fan will never purchase any such item from any company of its kind ever again: Icons, Master Replicas, EFX, Anovos - all of these turned to disasters and every attempt to succeed them always will.
Just because you can sand and paint plastic and enjoy Star Wars does not mean you are talented. It means shut up, watch tv, become an alcoholic, and spare us.
Joe, I agree with everything you said...mostly.I think it's more about wanting to make a living bringing awesome things you love to the world over any notion of "talent".

For Anovos, I think they're going to just keep slowly ticking off one box at a time until they are caught up. Might take two years, might take five. Who knows. They seem to be doing what they can with the means that are available. Slow progress is better than none, or the whole thing collapsing. I thought I'd be "over" the Solo TFA once it arrived, but I'm actually pretty fond of it... have worn it many times. And with nuTrek being so depressing, I'll be glad to receive the Picard when it gets done.
FWIW, I just tried to order some paintball equipment and was told there are big backlogs of orders, because nothing is getting out of China right now due to Coronavirus. I doubt this is relevant to Anovos, since I doubt they actually have anything to ship anyway, but thought it was worth mentioning, since I know EFX are claiming this to be the case.
C'mon guys, it took Leonardo DaVinci 10 years to paint the Mona Lisa for a person, so I'm sure you'll get your product someday...
Oh wait, she never received her painting.
