Saw that some people online where getting them. Anyone know if they’re any good or not? I’ve been withholding any judgment till they actually released
It’s my first kit, but I have done my homework. The shell is fiberglass and looks very clean and feels very sturdy. Weighs around 20 pounds without it put together. Only gripe so far has been that some of the holes don’t line up with screwing stuff together. No real hardcore construction, simply gluing or screwing is all that’s needed to put it together. The mother board is Plexiglas and has some sections cut out for eventual sound. It’s a mixture of metal and fiberglass parts. Everything is included in the wand including switches to again promote an eventual electronics addition. Anovos hasn’t produced instructions for it yet so I’m going off of pics and websites. A lot of great support so far on my first build. Im pretty new to the construction part and I hope this helps.
great writeup, do you have pictures of this pack kit that you can share with us? im VERY curious of the final delivered product. thanks! 
AmazonChitlin has posted some detailed photos of his Anovos kit here: link
Excellent!
Emailed Customer Service on Monday and got the following reply:
The Proton Pack kit at this time is on schedule to ship out within the Winter Season, before March 19th end of day. If there are any updates about these items you have on order, including for shipping, we will notify you via email! Once the package has left our hands and is picked up by the carrier you will receive an email notification with the tracking number (from [email protected] so make sure this email gets filtered into your inbox so you don’t miss it). The tracking number will usually also be accompanied by an expected arrival date on the carrier’s website.
So, in 13 days, they should be on the way.
LOL, I was just about to post an identical email I received from Anovos CS. I got super excited today because I got a UPS shipping notification from MyUPS.. but it was for something else.
Even if I prefer the DIY method, I’m really curious of this version… I saw some pics on previous topics, but I’d like to see one for Real…
I really *really *want to believe them this time… realistically I can see it slipping to spring, then summer. There just doesn’t seem to be enough people getting product for them to suddenly catch up on the remaining orders. Here’s hoping for everyone’s sake they don’t miss Halloween again. Crossing my fingers they’ll pull it off by the 19th, though.
That’s my thought too. I’m not seeing much here or on FB groups about people getting them.
You know what would be great? This is total wishful thinking on my part, but it would be cool if the apparent gap in people getting their kits was due to Anovos fixing the issues with the first run before sending out the next wave.
I’ve waited this long, I can wait a little longer. The suspense *is *killing me though, haha.
I contacted them last month and on Feb 21, I just got their canned response from the FAQ of “Thanks for reaching out to us. For that item we are looking at a WINTER estimated release window at this time. Customers could receive this item anytime between now - MARCH 20th 2018 in reference to the current shipping calendar. Unfortunately we do not have solid dates on when items will ship, only the seasonal estimate. Please note, items on reserve are subject to change in availability, features, and estimated delivery dates at any time.”
I ordered two packs a while back and I got them both of them about 6 weeks ago
I waited a year and a half for them to ship a hat (Imperial Officer). To tell the truth, I didn’t place my order until I saw posts here that they had actually started shipping something. Glad I did, as a couple of days later they closed pre-orders.
How long ago was it?
About a year
OUCH!!!
The website says it’s unavailable now. Is this due to the Egon Legacy Pack?
It’s coming up to the 15th…anyone get their email saying it’s ready for shipment? I’m dreading the “ok, sorry but we’ve pushed this back again…etc…”
Ordered mime March 2017, wish I had it already..
