Prices on everything Star Wars have gone bonkers. Glad I got most of what I wanted early on. Still pissed I sold a set of armor anticipating EFX doing a stormtrooper. Lol!
I heard they have a tentative delivery date of fall 2030.
Hey people just stated this page that they would pay more for US made stuff if it delivered quicker. Here is their chance! (although it is a new line so they still need to prove it will be quicker)
I don't think all of the increase is due to possible tariffs, but I am concerned that there will be increases in the price for many collectibles since so many are made in China. Currently there is a lot of uncertainty in the final cost of producing and importing products.whatever, either way the significant price rise isn’t down to increased import fees - which was your original suggestion
Cheers

This was from the Anovos website. They have since updated the page.$450 was with out soft goods and the $650 was with soft goods. I remember clearly because I was not gonna spend $200 on black clothing! LOL

It is probably most accurate to say the most recent price increase was from $650 to $900 for the kit without softgoods. At some earlier point it went up to $650.

While the delays are frustrating, at least they are trying to improve by moving to different manufacturers. We will see how that turns out. Hopefully the increase in the cost of the OT Stormtrooper kit isn't the start of a trend for other products.

RS is more than $900 for a kit.
I’d just responded to where you’d said you hadn’t seen any kits for that much $. Whether the Anovos is worth it is another question. I do agree the products are not on the same level, 100%.The thing is the Anovos as nice as it is it does not come close to the RS Kit. The Anovos is a clean up scan which is not worth the $900 they are asking for.
I'm very confident that would cause them to lose the SW license. That would basically mean no more preorders ever. Delays seem to be expected with the relatively small quantities they order. There are many factors out of their control such as factory issues and Lucasfilm direction. Some will say those are just excuses, but they are reality. Anovos doesn't control several things that can cause delays.Anovos damages itself so much by indicating shipping dates that people get excited about and plan around only to then repeatedly pull the rug out from under their customers with delays. It is truly numbing. But what does everyone think about the structure of this particular boycott? - No one pre-orders anything until the shipping calendar does not get any "bumps" for a period of two years. Thoughts??
and yet companies like Sideshow and Master Replicas were able to put good product out in the time they were supposed to be released with small quantities.Delays seem to be expected with the relatively small quantities they order.

A possible solution would be to give estimates way out in the future or huge ranges of time for the estimated delivery, but I doubt that would make anyone happy.
Some of us understand and now expect delays. Some have major concerns with delays. If you do, don't preorder.
This is just preorders for expensive toys, not life and death. For the most part, they have eventually delivered. There were a few cancelled products. They aren't like some vendors that you need to be afraid will just disappear with your money.
