    I haven't touched my v1 in a while but can the cab windows be popped out easily like MS? Considering a v3 and swapping with V1 windows. The transparency on V1 doesn't bother me and the mismatched windows to those on the side, on v3, does.

    I'd probably then sell the V1 with v3 cab windows

    They're mismatched on the V1 too. Anyway, they're one solid piece that's painted, so can't be popped out.

    Nah, they’ll probably hang out there through the weekend and we’ll have them in hand sometime next week. Let’s just pretend all of our TE-01s are having drinks together at the airport bar and saying their goodbyes before they part and go off to their new homes.

    Or some employee opened one up and was like “holy shit guys, there’s all kinds of ‘best possible interpretation of our childhood hero’ Primes right here! We should open them all and re-enact the movie by bashing them against each other in the torso area!”

    Looking at all the reviews of MP-44 that are out I'm freshly appreciating the genius and elegance of the leg design & transformation on TE-01. TE accomplished something no other Prime has really done (accurate legs w/ low profile in alt-mode), and did it with an utterly simple transformation.

    I'm not saying this to start a debate about which is "better". Just marveling freshly at one of the really brilliant parts of this figure!

    TE-01 got sooo much right the first time. It's hard to beat.

    Decided to buy. Compared to V2...
    -New head color tone is better.
    -The shoulder ratchet has increased from 16 to 24.

    This fact is very big for me.:eek:

    V3 sounds amazing! The shoulder and leg ratchet increased is huge and really helps the figure out, but will have to wait on more people getting their V3'S to see if the QC has drop or this is just a one off.

    If not, then I might be buying this figure for a 2nd time and be leaving my V2 in truck mode.

    Is there a difference ratchet wise between V2 & V3?
