    The Badcube Lambos and Takara MP Tracks could have really used that.

    That will probably be me since I never got the original. I'll most likely buy the one with the blue chest since that grey is just awful.

    But we need someone who has the v1s to buy the v2 that way they can compare and their analysis will be accurate.

    Pre-ordered the white legged Boost from Baba.

    Need to knock these mini-bots out. Grumps is on the way from Show.Z.

    Not sure on a Warpath yet.

    thats actually a really nice idea, because that way there would still be some translucency to the plastic but you'd still get a nice colour( as only the inside layer would be painted and the outside layer would only be showing the paint through ) sounds nicer than just having cheap looking light blue paint/ plastic

    You should give it a shot. Both Lambos are otherwise great.

    Yeah, but the clear windows make them look cheap to me, as you can clearly see the highly contrasting white parts thorough them. Otherwise I would make the switch.
    I love Sunsurge, where they chose properly tinted windows that hide a lot of sins.

    I totally agree (I wanted Blue body with Silver legs), but I ordered the toon version instead. I figured if I hate the white too much I could just paint the legs silver.

    Does anyone know what the fixes are? I'm happy with the one I have but I would gladly buy another with better engineering on the feet and arms.

    I hadn't heard of any actual fixes. I think that it is just a rerelease.

    X company reprinted charger baffle, sub-animated color matching (white thigh), toy version color matching (silver thigh). It is expected to be in the hands of the merchant this week. The reprint modified the fist disgusting deformation into a smooth deformation, and corrected some mold bugs. The full spray process, players who have not started, can be filled with resentment.
