I saw photos of the ESB Fett helmet prototype on facebook.
A few years ago I would have gotten excited about it.
Now I just got angry watching a company who has taken my money continue to try to promote non existent products to future victims of fraud.
Anyone who even thinks about buying a product from this company in the future must be beyond desperate.........
Why forums and social media still feel the urge to help promote this company is beyond me.
There should be a 'buyer beware' sticky thread on this forum and a pile of bannings but for some reason eFX still seem to get away with it here
Where are you finding all of these photos ?. I can't find anything.
It's on Facebook on the dented helmet page
Great thanks
. It saddens me to see that they are displaying the scout again. Have anyone spoken to them this time around ?

Didn't they used to pretty reliable? Like when they had the fiberglass Vaders and X-Wing pilot helmets. It's like they somehow forgot how to have high quality items produced in the last few years.
If the Slave 1 and Fett helmets ever get put up for preorder, I wonder if very many will be willing to place an order.

They WERE great. I have their SS X-Wing & TIE Fighter, 1:1 Maul Saber, LE Vader Helmet, AHN & ESB Luke Helmets as well as Wedges Helmet, LE Stormtrooper and Phase 1 Clone Trooper helmets, DS tile and a Cap. America shield. Beautiful stuff. They've really dropped the ball on this project tho. The big thing that pisses me off is no communication. If there were updates, I would be mildly satisfied.

It seems to be more than the Scout Trooper. They haven't been producing any SW products of the same level as they used to. The PCR helmets are nice for what they are, but they are not in the same class as the earlier products.
Producing the Slave 1 or Fett helmet could be in that class, but there may not be enough people willing to trust them on a pre-order for those.

I agree, If they ever come out with another pre-order, I doubt there will be enough people willing to give their money away to Gino and friends.
Also, according to the BTTF thread, they lost that license without ever having produced anything. So they got the license, announced a bunch of cool stuff, showed off some prototypes, never released anything, and the license expired. How much time and money did they waste doing that?

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. I tried a claim through Barclaycard but because efx didn't (or don't) show the expected year of release on their original preorder Barclaycard couldn't do anything. The claim dragged on for six months until efx stopped ignoring Barclaclaycard and said the buyer couldn't have a refund because of a change of heart?
BC offered me half the amount as a good will gesture just to close the case and advised me never to deal with that company again.
After around nine months I managed to get a full refund through a different route.
Awful company with no morals who are more than happy to feed their customers any old BS in order to get your cash.

Yep, it's crazy but it's what they told me. Barclay card said as there was no specific expected delivery YEAR on the original preorder, the item would never be officially overdue and they couldn't press for non delivery.

In case not everyone over follows the Rebelscum thread, word over there is that retailer BBTS gave an updated release window of Q1 of 2018 for this thing. No reasoning given, which is odd since the helmets were supposedly in production and were supposed to ship from Hong Kong months ago.
Yes but that factory probably went bankrupt and burned all the molds and the almost completed helmest like the last two factories before
