I believe Anovos is in some hot water. I personally have emailed them twice in the last month regarding a order I placed June of 2017 that is still unfulfilled. All replies are all very generic in nature.
I'd have a lot more sympathy if they didn't hit my inbox with discount emails every single day. I understand they probably only have one mailing list but I don't imagine they're getting much repeat business from customers with existing orders at this point; even were I not a forum monkey the sheer volume of offers would alert me to an issue. I'd mark them as spam were it not for the fact that I'm hoping that one day there'll actually be a message about my jetpack.
Color me surprisedThis has now been bumped
Fall season September 22 - December 21
Dana, I emailed them Friday. Some bloke called Ryan responded last night. There was some other fluff in the message but the salient point was it's been delayed, again, until those dates this year.Color me surprised
Edit: Where did you see the update for the kit Andy? Im only seeing Winter 2018 still on the updates (its obviously not being met but still)
03 ? Is this a record lolLol Yeah, same boat more or less. I imagine we're both wanting to do the same thing in having our builds in a way that they'll require little to no upgrading later on outside of new foundparts. Still pretty bad though considering I technically started mine in 03 though lol.

Not by a long shot. There's a few on here I know have been going much longer. Art for sure lol03 ? Is this a record lol
You definitely have me beat in terms of foundparts hahaha. Ive a few but most are for the blasters. Ive still no idea how the hell you do it, lol, especially the scopes you find. But hey that's what dedicated work gets you!Absolutely, if there's a found part I have it except that pesky orthodontic expansion screw. I've spent the best part of the last three years chasing floquil and trying to find vintage electronic parts for the helmet circuit board, that will never be seen, took about six months. I think that, to a degree, I've become more interested in the process than the end product in some ways.
On paper this jetpack should be significantly ahead of anything else out there; the last high end licensed Boba product still hasn't been topped. 12 years and counting. Let's hope efx can finally get something on shelves this year!

Yeah thats really the only reason I finally ended up preordering a kit, otherwise I doubt I'd ever preorder anything from Anovos given their continued declining reputation for meeting their own shipping dates. I'm still gonna have to machine/print an entirely new rocket head for it if it ever ships since i'm building an ESB, but it does look damn good regardless.
Im guessing you're talking about the MR buck? That's honestly why I've been so somewhat negative about the proposed EFX ESB bucket where its now coming out that they cleaned it up a lot and removed stuff like the crack and lump in the right cheek entirely which were definitely on screen. At that point they're no longer offering what they claim to be offering imo and its a damn shame because there was just so much potential, and thats not even accounting for subsequent mold shrinkage yet :/
I think the only way we're ever gonna get something a next step up from the MR in terms of lineage and true size is going to be if one of the direct Gen 1 castings of the ESB Hero that are rumored to be out in private hands makes its way to someone willing/able to offer copies of it. That or if someones ever able to scan the helmet while on display somewhere and do a true 1/1 print of it. Now that I think of it.. Didn't Anovos preview exactly that at SDCC like 3-4 years ago? Wonder what ever happened with that

You can now pre-order JP kits from Anovos for either Z-6 or JT-12 jetpack kits. The pictures they have on their website show them fully painted but don't let that fool you, they will come in kit form and painting is done by the buyer.
There is a good discussion thread of the packs started by Art Andrews some time ago found here. It's more focused on the Boba pack though (no Jango love?). From what I gather these are built from 3D scans of the originals. The Z-6 pack scanned from the ROTJ (and subsequently the SE pack). So not sure if that will work for you kamino pack lovers. The Arena pack I assume is also scanned from the original.
Anovos' delivery times haven't really been the greatest. I have a buddy who ordered an OT TK kit in March 2016 and is still waiting on it so who knows when these will ship out. I'd definitely be interested in a review and some detailed pics if anyone were to ever actually get one.
