    Just got mine today, I was the first to pre-order in my country I think. got both Greenlight "who I kept in order" and Lancer today by mail. must say that the instruction sheet is very bare bone, only the regular figure transformation on it. Nothing about combining.
    The box is nice though in my opinion. Cardboard but descent quality.

    The figure is a bit loose, not dramatic but you can feel the mold giving. Also the connector ports on both Greenlight and Lancer are more loose than the previous 2. The hands stay in nicely but Elitas feet practically fall out. Not a big deal for me since both Greelight and Lancer are arms for me. And the color set up is nicer that way.

    I have Greenlight and Jazz as legs and the feet stay in just fine. Seems like this may be a YMMV situation. Sorry for your luck.

    It isn't a big issue just a bit looseness on lancer. Also, some nail polish fixes everything. Though in the current setup don't need to.

    Btw Also got my PotP Predaking yesterday, turned out it is the Japanese edition which got the double instructions etc. Same price though. But seen it go for more. I'm like wow really, same figure just for more money since it got alternate instructions included and some stickers slapped on the box saying it is the Japanese.

    Ditto re the connector ports.

    I've also popped one of each limb off far too easily on Lancer

    If you are gonna go nail polish but might possibly be swapping combiner feet at a later point, I'd advise nail polishing the Elita-1 ankle pegs as it seems to be quite common that they are the issue by being a smidge off 5mm rather than the ports. For instance my Greenlight has a nice firm but not too tight grip when I pop the POTP combiner foot on.

    I hear you, issue is kinda both ways, holes too big and the peg too small. Though it is pretty fine with both Moonracer and Novastar. Just barely in with Greenlight, and straight drop to the floor for Lancer. So even with a weak peg it shows there is definitely mold degradation. Though like I mentioned earlier the hands go in fine and hold. So in essence it is just the issue with the feet from Elita.

    Just woundering why you put the EOC in her foot and not her chest?
    Just like my first wife.

    Got my Lancer yesterday. The shoulders and hips needed some floor polish, but the rest of the joints were fine. Her face is literally robot Grace Jones, which I'm cool with and the colors are no where near as bad as those early photos.

    Don't like the way the jet nose looks split open like it does to contain the EOC
    I tried other combinations but found my eye was being drawn to the brighter coloured Novastar or Lancer if just one was an arm or leg so they needed to be paired and for my eye it worked better this way round
