Not sure how they can justify asking for more shipping fees when we paid in full including shipping when the order was placed. Any other business would have to eat the costs. They had no policy stating shipping and rates could change That I know of. I would think if we pressed hard they would have to honor the original price. But what do I know.

I am in the same boat. Ordered July 20, 2015 and still shows "Paid in Full, Unfulfilled".

I already sent them a chat and they opened a ticket and sent it up to a supervisor. The Kit version states that it includes "cheek stripe" decals so maybe they can just mail out a few decals. We shall see.

I feel the first thing we should all do is complain to Anovos as all their pictures show them on the helmets and let them respond. Luckilly mine hasn't arrived yet so I have time to see how Tony does it. Still reading his OTTK build as I am working on mine. Thanks again Tony

Damn Anovos. Let the rants begin. Probably for the best since they can't get the stripes in the correct location anyway.

Hello Tony, I know you haven't gotten there yet but on the Helmet, all the Anovos ones I have seen arriving on Facebook and even the shots of theirs on display do not appear to have tube stripes. Does yours have them or are we going to have to add them per the CRL?

I wonder why these pulls are poor and thin just like the Gen 1 OTTK's. There is no reason these shouldn't be as good as the Gen 2. I wonder if us Tier 1's get the crappier ones off the line since we paid the least. Also the Anovos live chat is pretty good although they don't have exact shipping dates. I think their fulfillment shipping facility operates somewhat independently.

How's the material and pulls on the shadow?

This should be as epic as your OT TK build. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Is anything different or improved from the OT kit? Also cat you elaborate on the Gen 2 kit and what was different? Also where did you get the boots. It appears all the sources like Amazon have dried up.

If you want totally authentic contact TK Boots. They are awesome but only available in white. I contacted them and asked if they had any that were less than perfect because I was going to paint them black and they did have some discounted ones with scuffs and blemishes. It also appears that most sources online have dried up like the Bass Amsterdam's.

Hope mine arrives too. I was in Teir 1 also and in California just like UKSWRATH. How did you get yours so quick Tony! LOL.

New update as of yesterday is that everything is approved and they are now shipping from manufacturer to distribution center. If they keep up with the same schedule as the Classic TK then we should start seeing the first orders shipping in a couple weeks.

I guess I have had a different experience. Even at $650-$700 it is pretty reasonable since you get everything but boots and the helmet is even finished. It looks like most sellers have caught up now but even ATA is a 6 month wait. Their website has an entire page dedicated to Star Wars product updates. They have always responded to my questions within a week or two. They shipped me an XL under shirt for my classic TK and it was super small and XL gloves that were too big. I emailed them and within days they sent a return label and two weeks after that they sent my Large gloves and messed up and sent another XL shirt. I emailed them again and a couple days later I had another pre paid shipping label. So far I am happy with them.

Not sure why everyone is so pissed at Anovos. The price was low and sold with an estimated delivery date. At no point did they promise you would have it in your hand by a certain date. They are giving updates and reasons for the delay. Most of the large sellers out there have over a year waiting list so Anovos is moving pretty fast. I got two of the classic TK kits and love them. The price is what brought me and and sure I had to wait but if it were not for the $350 price I would have never bought any TK kit.

If this helps anybody I am building the classic TK from Anovos and am 6'2" and 195 lbs with a 33" waist and the shadow will be exactly the same. So far everything is sized fine except for 2 items. First off I have been trimming everything beyond the factory lines just to make sure I have enough material, easier to trim more than not have enough. The only issue so far is the kidney to AB plate connection. I have about 1/2" bap on each side to be comfortable which is fine for basic and EI approval but not for Centurion. I can close it but it isn't comfortable so I might have to shim it or lose a few pounds. The only other issue is the undergarments. I ordered them in XL and for street cloths I always wear 32 waist 34 length jeans and large shirts. The Anovos suit the XL pants are fine but the shirt is a joke. It is XL but is skin tight and is so short it only comes to my belly button and lower back. To me it fits like a men's Medium.

You could always go opposite the classic troopers and order from TK Boots and paint them black. For the price the TK boots are amazing, comfortable and 100% accurate for approval.

As another waiting on Anovos if you haven't checked out Ukswrath's build over on the 501st site you should. It is an amazing step by step build for Centurion level approval of the Anovos classic kit. I am in the process of building my classic Anovos kit while I wait for my shadow kit. So far for the price I am very happy with Anovos.

+1, waiting on mine too. It looks like the TD is included in the standard trooper kit so I don't see why they wouldn't include it with the shadow as well. Waiting on my standard too.

Funny but since Celebration my wife has been way into this, she ordered two of the Anovos TK's and now two of the Anovos shadow trooper kits. Looks like 2016 is going to be busy for me.
