As stated and pictured in the other thread, mine has some paint smudges and the usual floppy arms syndrome. However, since I don't expect too much of this toy, and maybe I dont revere this thing as Master Piece..I think I'm quite satisfied with it...I take the alpha as a toy for playing (eventho you cant quite play around with it - flimsy joints, fragile plastics, bla-2...), not as a toy-model sorta thing...and its the only macross/Robotech toy I have applied the stickers on...since i really dont think it's worth keeping them with stickers unapplied...coz it just makes em look fugly...
