Recently purchased at a sweet deal.
-Box is in great Shape
-Instruction manual is in great shape
-Parts are in great shape and 100% complete. (accidentally broke one extra piece)
-Fred is near perfect
-Stickers are all there
The second I got home I went to town on this set. I completely disassemble it. In the process, I carefully peeled off the stickers and placed them on a tiny zip lock bag for storage. I'm planning on stripping the old adhesive from the back of the sticker, then apply a fresh layer of adhesive. Not sure if it could be done. Removing the sticker made it all cloudy, but I had no choice as the stickers were not aligned properly. I ended up washing all of the parts with a tiny amount of dish soap to lift any dirt or dust from the surface. All of the parts are in immaculate shape except for the gold studded clip piece I broke. I was way too rough taking that piece apart lol. Nothing a little crazy glue or epoxy can't fix.
The booster frame is a very cool intricate design. There are so many small pieces that go into this build, which give the set a highly detailed finish. Its also very sturdy. It was quiet a challenge taking this set apart. Fred is done very well for this set. Heroes level quality of paint app. All of the "104" prints are nicely applied and crisp. The old mold of the spartan laser in olive/green with the red strip is probably favorite version so far.
All and all a great set.
I can't wait to put this set together and place it next to my Mark 1 Prototype Exosuit.
Lmk what you guys think.
Thank you and enjoy!
