IIRC, the last time a deadline came and went it took them just shy of two weeks to issue an update. It's easy to forget when we're all hanging by our fingertips that Anovos seems to work on Valve Time (if you're familiar with that expression).
I wouldn't bother hounding customer support... there seems to be a disconnected between them and the actual production realities. For example; I asked them for an idea of "where I was in the process" based on my order #. "Samantha" claimed not to have that information, but it's clear from a little light internet detective work they're fulfilling pre-orders in the first come, first serve manner.
Total guess-work on my part but if past is prologue, I'd expect the update mid next week-ish.
Personally, I've been cyber stalking this page;
https://www.anovos.com/pages/ghostbuste ... it-updates
...in case they don't send me an e-mail, which has happened once or twice since I ordered in October 2016. Settling in, hoping it's good news... a little transparency goes a long way. Wish they'd learn that, haha.

I asked for an update to the update on the pack and was told it was coming soon.

I asked again and got the same copy/pasted response of how they "don't know yet but it should be soon"
...meh.

Another customer support convo..."Alex" said "nothing new, we are working with the licensor to have some info approved, once that is cleared we will reach out via email to let the customers know"...so...its now on the licensor??? As in...Sony has to approve these? Am I reading it right? I'd post the screenshot but I don't know how.

Thats interesting to say the least considering they have already shipped some of them out.
- April 19th, 2018, 3:18 pm#4905136
Kinda sounds like they changed something, and any time that happens (at least with toys) the license holder has to approve those changes before it goes back into production.
At least we're getting somewhere. Thanks for sharing.

I'm wondering if they are changing the design to make it somewhat in line with the "Spengler" pack? Probably easier and cheaper to produce/source parts you can use across two products instead of one. There is a large price difference but the Spengler pack is assembled, painted, weathered, and has a lighting kit which would take a lot of labor.
Obviously, this is pure speculation.

It’s a little hard to believe that going back and re-engineering the pack they already designed to match one that hasn’t been released yet would make financial sense. That would be a huge waste considering all the effort that went into designing the current packs. It would make more sense to base the Spengler pack off the work they’ve already done.

The kit version released had a lot of minor issues regarding the parts fit. Dollars to doughnuts it's the exact same molds the Spengler edition is going to be, corrections are having to be made. (I'm looking at you non matching predrilled holes)

THIS. If that's what they're doing with molds...using the Spengler mold, then I'd be more than happy to wait for that product. I'll be pissed if i get my pack and its the same one as the first release with all the hole and alignment issues.

This statement better be the most perfectly crafted prose ever written for the time it's taking to put out.
