Especially since unlicensed vendors can produce them much faster or even handle the occasional commission inbetween
ANOVOS issues (ANOVOS ONLY discussion)

Yeah. Unlicensed is a different ballgame.
From a production standpoint, there's no corporate oversight, or anyone to please, except that specific consumer who commissions the work. But there are quality risks that could damage the brand, hence official licenses.
Unlicensed, like RS PRops for example, is basically:
- someone wants a helmet
- we know exactly what the helmet looks like (and we've made it thousands of times)
- make the helmet
- box the helmet
- ship the helmet
If you do it well each time, that sequence repeats itself.
Like AJTaliesen aptly mentioned earlier, this is a ballgame where nobody suddenly comes up with a new idea or needs to book meetings for something that should have already been met months ago. Do it, ship it, move on to the next one.
In the case of the Anovos/Disney relationship, in addition to Anovos being poorly run, I can also easily imagine some Disney exec newly in charge of QA at one of the merchandising branches who decides to stop the presses because that Death Trooper helmet "doesn't look quite right". For A LOT of execs in big bloated corps like D, this is the kind of move that's highly admired.
Johnson? What's going on with this Anovos thingy?! I hear they're not delivering!
We just created a new position to specifically look into it, sir. And that new hire saw that something didn't look quite right! So he stopped everything and is looking into it.
Good man, Johnson! Now, where's that PowerPoint I asked for?!

When all that competence comes together for something as big as Disney's Star Wars, you get threads like this one.

I think 4 is long gone at this point. My FO Trooper passed the 4 year mark last fall and still crickets. I gave up on that and used the store credit to go with things that were shipping and 'in stock' in September - and, as you can guess, still NOTHING.
I'm sure Anovos can't wait either!!!!.................

Seriously, can we buy those shirts? Does anyone have a connection to this dude?
And yeah, I DARE Anovos to show up at a convention. There is no way to show yourself in public after all this if you possess even the slightest bit of self-awareness. Or the slightest capacity for shame.
BUT - on the shirt we have to change it to #FIVEyearsandwaiting.

Alot of solid remarks and all TRUE. Yes some folks are getting some items after a seriously long wait. Makes NO SENSE to sound the alarm that Ah-No-No have changed and things are getting better. When in fact many of us and people we know are still waiting years later for something they paid and have not gotten. I will change my tune once i hear and see folks on that list of forgotten customers start getting what they paid for.
I got an AH-No-No email email about the USS Enterprise filming scale model for $9000 as well as USS Discovery on their website.. I would love it, but i am not willing to pay $9000 for something that will not happen, run into issues or worst fall into the dark abyss of waiting for EVER. When that money can go else where. Anyways like i said SOLID POINTS Pepperbone!

I'd just like to leave this link here:

And these 2 links:

Next: once they run out of funds: they'll fold. That's what a lot of businesses are doing right now.

Just a little trip down memory lane for everyone, from page 114 of this very thread:
What a difference a few years makes, eh? I miss when we could get answers directly like this. I wonder what the new grounding post is, as it sure as heck isn’t here.
edit: noticing on my phone that the screen cap makes it almost look like a new post from Got Maul. Rest assured, he has not logged in since sometime in 2018, don’t be alarmed

Be sweet if some of our Texan members took a road trip....

I would be upset if they use that money for anything other than fulfilling orders. Don't care shelter don't care food.
BUT - 202 shipments from China is probably not 202 items. Each shipment is likely multiple items - don't get me wrong: I would never defend these people. Just wanting to be accurate with our assessments.
That Simi address isn't far from here.

The Simi address has been confirmed to be just a UPS Store mailbox. Don’t waste your time.

The one on Los Angeles St. is the mailbox store. I think this one is different.

Has anyone heard any peep of any kind at all? On any Star Wars topic? Any sign that anything is getting delivered to anyone?
Not that I expect it - just checking in.

Thanks, guys - I haven't heard/ seen anything anywhere either. Not sure how they can legally continue to run the Star Trek side of things and fully ignore the Star Wars side but I finally feel the official "we lose" message brewin' in the air.
Just my opinion/ intuition.
Will post here if I hear of anyone receiving anything at all.
