Anovos Stormtrooper.... thoughts?

I'm just concerned they keep releasing more new products as pre orders without completing one. There are other costumes I want but am reluctant to buy without them firsts actually releasing something.
 
any one heard any news about them making the November ship date? if they don't I'm pulling out I don't have time playing the waiting game with yet another company. it seams like they are spending a lot of time getting more pre-order concept stuff up on the site then they are on updating us on time line.

As of the update they sent out last month, they are still on schedule for late November/early December. They send the updates out at the end of the month so we should get one this week.

I sure hope so. it would be nice to have the costume for the star wars premier. I'm sorry I sound so jaded but it does get tiring to be promised something only to be still waiting a year after the original date has passed.
 
You're not going to be waiting a year for this beyond the original ship date (which there never was a ship date). Also you won't have this ready in time for the premiere, because you'll have to cut everything and assemble, which will probably take a couple weeks at the very least
 
Estimated time to order fulfillment: Winter 2015. This pre-order is available exclusively to customers in the following regions: North America (United States & Canada), United Kingdom, Germany, China and the regions listed here. Make sure to subscribe to our newsletter for updates on future International sales in other regions.

there where several emails sent out stating November..

So I ask you this if January comes and we still don't have anything would you consider that a broken promise? Also I would have it cut and assembled in 2 days with lots of coffee and Monster drinks

Also where do you live in north texas im in houston :D

I understand you being anxious, I check here, on the 501st boards, on various Facebook groups and my inbox many times a day hoping for an update... I choose to trust them. Most companies take years to develop products too, we're just not there to witness it. For the discount we got though, I guess waiting anxiously is worth it. I have faith they will deliver as this is their one chance to make a huge break and etablish themselves as the leader for high end costumes...

This has been posted in the FAQ section for as long as I can remember

I'm not sure if this has been discussed - but do you think it's possible that some of these delays are because Anovos may be gearing up to provide armor for the Star Wars spin off movies? We know Rogue takes place before ANH so perhaps the trooper design will be the same?
 
Yes, there have been estimates given. My point is there has never been a definitive date or timeframe. Like it's already been said, for the price I paid in willing to wait

Yep! For the Stormtrooper, I am right with you!

Now the Vader is a different matter, I am starting to get frustrated with lack of communication and any new projected ship date (I think original projection was May 2015).
 
Having paid in July I'm eagerly awaiting updates. Receiving the email to check addreses now shows accounts on the previous site are no longer active. Not a good move ANOVOS as I have my payment receipts but cannot view my purchase. I have sent a message, there is no point registering again as it will not show the order if a new account. Why send an email asking for confirmation when accounts cannot be viewed?
Maybe a email could have told us this or maybe ANOVOS could have ensured accounts were transfered. Is this the shape of things to come?, I sincerely hope not.

Have you tried logging in to check your order? I ordered in April and my account on the site works fine, order shows up in my history.

Of course I have tried logging on, also a password reset. It shows account not found and a message that accounts from the previous site have not been transferred and must re register.
 
I ordered in April but just created an account today. As soon as I confirmed my registration via email, my order popped up and everything was correct.
