BikerScout007 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Looks like everyone's favorite prop maker has gotten into the Patrol game If they had the same access to this lid as they did to all their others, this tells us that the Patrol helmet has a similar recess detail above the eyes as the Shoretrooper Sent from my LG-H872 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon_a Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Its a nice picture, but that's probably the closest anyone will ever get to seeing an Anovos PT bucket. If anything, hopefully their pics will reveal details that can be used to inform real prop makers when they make buckets that people can actually buy and recieve. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewjblack Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 ha! well for one, i really dont know how they plan on making this. they owe so many factories money. who is manufacturing it? and if they do some how make it, how willl they get it to customers? they shuttered the warehouse. its just a ghost town. im not sure they even have any employees. so much of their abandoned merch is circulating FB market place from Chinese retailers trying to recover some of their lost money. anyway. we can gossip in person some time. .... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliaz Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 That is what I’ve been suspecting for awhile now. All the new preorders at discount prices are just a scramble for money to pay factories/debts.Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barber Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I will never understand how so many "amateur" prop makers can deliver quality products and on time, but a LFL licensed shop with help from the mouse cannot. I own some of Anovos' helmets and they are beautiful, but not worth the hassle or run around of their pre-order process. I had hoped they would produce the helmets first, then sell them as in stock. I would buy it in a heart beat if that was the case. They had the patrol helmet a while back at a con on display. I honestly was hoping they would have them done and on hand in Chicago. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly was hoping they would have them done and on hand in Chicago. supposedly disney imposed an in stock only order on anovos last year, but they still seem to be doing pre-orders. i have no doubts that most of the older stuff people ordered will never see the light of day. apparently anovos owed one factory so much money they never ended up shipping several items. they waited so long the factory closed, and all the manufactured goods ended up in shipping container some where in china lost to the ages. its understandable that there be some delays. coming from the manufacturing world, poop happens. with them on the other hand, there was such intense micromanagement that nothing ever progressed. too many cooks in the kitchen, and most of them had no clue. most of everyone i knew there quit over the last 2 years. one of my buddies was still showing up to an empty building every day until a few months ago, but it was too depressing for him so he quit. they had such a great license, and really could have done some amazing things with it, its a shame it was so mismanaged. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thx1978 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I know I shouldn’t have but I made a pre order for the helmet.... I’ll let you know how it goes. I’ve heard how bad they can be first hand from garrison members and also read on the forums. The only personal experience I’ve had is a FOTK helmet which arrived no problem. So let’s see this time next year where we are! Lucky I’m in no rush for this as have other projects I’m working on.

eiiei Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I've steered clear of any ANOVOS products after hearing nightmare-like stories. But, I decided to take the plunge on this opportunity as it is likely the closest any of us will get to a screen-used helmet and I'm genuinely curious to see how the fan-sculpts compare. I fully anticipate not having my hands on the helmet for another +2 years, but I'll be sporting my ArmoryShop kit in the meantime. If and/or when it arrives, it will likely find itself encased in carbonite instead of a trooping bucket. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a leap of faith and am having it 100% completed (aside from the gloves and boots) by @Spiel at the ArmoryShop.

This is curiosity to me, I had previously seen handful of completed kits in the wild on social media--probably before the CRL went live. Definitely some in the Hong Kong Garrison. How come these members haven't joined the fold? Is it really only @Spiel and @FIVE, presently? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had only completed the front of the armor, as they had no good pics of the back at the time to finish the design. They (OCD props) then decided to go back to the drawing board and redesign the whole kit. I've seen lots of people on FB saying they are building the PT, but as of today, we still only have 2 approved in the whole Legion. Step on it, people! We can't expect Denis and Noel to be the only ones maintaining law and order on this planet!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got my full AmoryShop PT kit in the mail last Friday. Already working on the helmet.

Nor am I able to get a response back from ANOVOS on the status. In other words, business as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, business as usual.Maybe it’s time to start thinking about other options and considering getting your money back from them. Hask has a fantastic rig for the patrol trooper. I’d see who he went with for his bucket and maybe reach out to them for more information. I would hate to see you abandon this project due to the Anovos frustration syndrome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
