Ok guys, a couple of things from the KO, since I opened mine. First, I was sent the blue eyes/window version instead of the clear window/hepataitis version. I've worked something out with SOC. Second, Andrew was right about the fit and finish. While it's good, I don't think the quality is the same as the real Takara version: Chrome has smudges and isnt smooth in all places, the gas tanks on the legs are mounted slightly at an angle, the wheels have a bit of play on the mountings, head doesn't stay flipped on the body too well. The plastic has a few stress marks from molding/assembly, but the metal is right on. The paperwork was placed in a sandwich bag (i kid you not), but folded and taped nicely.
Still, nothing beats the G1 feel to this, more so than any of the other versions I have, all 9 of them.
