    Ah, but only on Taobao? That sucks. Still, it's not as bad as what it seemed like at first.

    check the mushroom peg of the bottom smokestack bits to make sure there is no excess plastic before attempting to twist them, and shave the shield peg down if pushing it in will require excessive force. My shield peg was visibly around 1-2mm too big

    Is it hard to spot? What did you shaved it with?

    Unless it’s really bad, yes. Mine had none but I couldn’t really tell until I tried to move it. I shaved my shield peg with an exacto knife but I would suggest sandpaper for a more exact fit.

    Try applying some nail polish on the peg.Mine was tight at first, then I filed it a little bit with xacto knife & it went in but loose. Then I applied a coat of nail polish & voila! Its perfect now.It's pretty handy to have a bottle of nail polish around in this hobby. :D

    I had to file down the pegs that tab into the roof piece, they were mushroomed more than they should have been based on the hole size

    So there’s update for the 2nd batch . C1366BFD-D8C3-43CC-B240-C5F1F42B0B30.jpeg 7DB48411-EA42-4FF5-98F3-6EE955C94CE2.jpeg CD1DDB70-3C8A-49DB-BC64-9FD8AA5A5CF3.jpeg E75832A7-AFC7-476F-ABD9-17DCEBF4AEA0.jpeg 0459C3A6-2BDD-4E14-A1BD-88A149EBDEFB.jpeg A2493AA4-6F8A-435E-9BE0-98AB31F433F0.jpeg 55F11746-9F01-474F-A981-7C8A8406BAE0.jpeg
    I think it’s safe to say better to wait for their 2nd batches of stuff

    Seriously though, when the pre-order folks get an inferior product in terms of quality control, tolerances, and paint...
    On the one hand, its good to be responsive and make the figure better. But that's what samples are for.
