Thanks mates. I'm loving the feel of this toy. I transform mine with care. Relishing every step. Yet, the usual issue with the hand swivel connections occurred. Nothing glue can't handle. No biggie.
Anyways. I just noticed, there were no plastic wraps for the tires on the copy that I got. Though the wing lights, wing tips, nose cone top part and bottom of the toy had plastic packaging material when I 1st took it out of the tray.
