A bit early, but I was wondering if anyone thinks we'll see some deals on the new stuff for Black Friday?

Any chance these might arrive by the 28th? Family is heading to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party that night?

Yup, I am realizing this. I spent the last few days literally tracking every part of this project down and as much as I pushed, there are too many parts of this thing around the world to choreograph a perfect delivery by Q4. I am still trying to get this in for Q4, but I know everyone wants my conservative estimate which is pushing it to Q1. I am really sorry.
The Premium FO kits are being made here in the US. Unfortunately, the shop that we are using got backed up and because of limited resources (ths is not China) had to push this project back . I know it is not the best news but they are doing every thing they can to get a December Delivery in the books for us. I will keep you updated.
This was for the three hole betls. The han solo holsters are going out with prioritization going to the investors who waited the longest first.
The coat we made, which used patterns taken from the originals in archives, is BEAUTIFUL. I have never seen anything like it and our Soft Goods leader did an incredible job picking the right fabric for this. Even LFL was impressed with how close this came. The Snowtrooper investors are going to be so very impressed.
With that said, they were made with limited fabric from here in the states. I know we would like to make the coats available separately, but in all honesty can't really give you a solid "yes" because of the limitation on fabric sourcing. Just like our Star Trek Captain wraps, when we find the right fabric, we do limited runs, this will probably be the case here so best to sign up for newletter or forthcoming interest ilst.
We stepped away from weathering because as we discovered the definition of "weathering" is a huge gradient and can be a slippery slope for too much or too little. Therefore, we were advised to step away from weather and leave it to user .
Keep your eyes peeled. We are launching a new program very very very soon,
We always have Black Friday sales.

RIGHT. I ordered BOTH the belt and the holster. So I was pretty mad when you were offering belts at a discount with immediate shipping. I paid full price as soon as it was announced!
I ordered the holster in August of 2015 at SDCC when I was told it would be shipping in September 2015.

So what does this mean for the people who had previously ordered the weathered version? Are you just not offering it in the future or not delivering the weathered orders?

And wasn't there a price difference?

GotMaul, thanks for answering my question in regards to the Kylo helmet.
I am trying to cancel a ticket to open a new ticket and I cannot do so. May you help with this? We just moved and need to change my address for the stormtrooper helmet kit. Thanks.

I don't want to stir the pot, but are the images of the *newer* snowtrooper suit suppose to be the final versions? I understand the move away from a particular, alternative *cough* "sculpt" *cough* that was presented initially and quite happy that Anovos has decided to move to the 3D scans.
However, I quite concerned with the helmet as it stands currently. The provided model to Anovos is clearly the suit that's exhibited on the various costume tours. This helmet, however, has had it's physical profile significantly altered through the years of what I can only assume to be a combination of age and severe mishandling over the course of it's travels.
That being said, I can see that the model was altered slightly, but it is still lacking in even a desirable appearance. I do not feel this replica is a faithful representation when backed against how it appears in filming.
I think this comparison image will explain my point more clearly
I do feel using the scans is an appropriate foundation, but to be honest, the "touch up" work that was done to fix some of the warping appears as though other visual reference were completely ignored, relying solely on this one version that was provided.
Hi Got Maul. Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. It's very much appreciated. I have the Kylo Ren ensemble on order and saw that it was pushed from Nov to 1st quarter 2017. Can you please let me know if that is early or late 1st quarter? Thanks!

I'm starting to appreciate the delay with the Kylo Ren helmet... because the moment I see via a teaser that they've changed the design for VIII (instead of letting it become a classic) I am cancelling my order.
Positive thoughts... every cloud etc...

I'm betting the new helmet will be close enough for him to be recognised as the same character, but changed enough to warrant new merchandise! haha.I'm starting to appreciate the delay with the Kylo Ren helmet... because the moment I see via a teaser that they've changed the design for VIII (instead of letting it become a classic) I am cancelling my order.

Regarding the Han Solo holsters, Got Maul advised, last week, "So we're happy about that and shipping starts next week."
Has anyone received a shipping notice this week? I realize we still have a day left, and if I get my notice tomorrow, I'll eat my words, but I was curious.

There was no price difference. They gave people the option to tell them if they wanted weathered or not at some point. I know I specifically contacted customer support who stated they would notate that I had picked the "weathered" version. At this point as long as I get a whole suit complete suit I don't even mind that it won't be weathered. Just as long as I get my order.. At this point I'm shooting for a early June arrival that way I can AT LEAST wear the damn thing to Florida Supercon next year.
I just ordered a pair of Luke Bespin boots from www.magnoliclothiers.com/ if anyone is looking for a screen accurate pair to go with their ANOVOS costume.

@GOTMAUL. Months ago you told us that social media posts were considered by Disney as a form of "advertising" that needed to be approved by Disney before posting........ are we to assume, now that you are posting fast and feverishly now..... that all of your posts are "mouse approved, and true" ???????????? Ps. Finally got that shadow trooper after sending back another white trooper.
