I feel really bad for all the people that fell into the Anovos pit.
I understand the good intentions of the people from this community involved with the Anovos Ghostbusters project, but what Anovos does is just not right, not ethical. There's no reason why a prop replica company should essentially crowdfund a project and think it's acceptable to push the delivery date back months, years. If an independent builder took money up front for a proton pack replica or parts and were a year late on their promised delivery date they would be publicly hung and banned from being a trusted seller. But people keep giving them money
I do feel bad for the buyers, but I mostly feel bad for the great independent part makers who deliver better quality kits and CAN make their time commitments who missed out on potential sales. Yall could have had a higher quality, more accurate proton pack kit from Nickatron in a few months turn around time for slightly more money!!
For those who are just waiting on Alice Frames, you'd probably be best just buying one off Ebay for and getting it now than waiting for god knows when.
