imgur.comSo yeah, crappy plastic overal and all stickers where just a little to big, or not the right shape :/ Remember to check for the bandai logo on the boxes!

That's a bummer man. Did you buy it online or locally?

Online. I live in the netherlands and i usually have to pay loads of extra over my order. DHL always makes me pay import taxes, last time was 45 euros over a 85 euro package of gundams... Besides that i shouldnt have to pay anything under 150 euros, they wont refund ever.
This one i found in a dutch online shop, so i figured it would save me the bullshit with dhl again. Sadly it was a fake modelkit :(

Report 'em to the tax authorities; if they're claiming it's taxed but it isn't, they're pocketing the money in the government's name. And the Taxman doesn't like competition.

Tried that, and if you google you see more problems with DHL in the netherlands. But nother ever gets done. I just try to avoid having DHL deliver my orders, and have the shops i order put the actuall value of the package on the box.

It's a monster!

Just display it super far in the back of the display box, in a darkened corner with the wings closed up, and the face at and angle, also have other kits that look similar or are colored similarly and bam!

To be fair though, its pretty well made for a fake. It came with the stand and all. Some optional gun parts you can swap out, and some small "transforming" parts. It even has a shield! Obviously the plastic quality overal is worse, and there are no extra parts as you have with other kits. But its not THAT bad. Its just bad for the price i paid (24 euros)

Looks like Strike's slow cousin.

And yet it is still the same crappy "gold" plastic color that bandai uses. Apparently they really can't make a better color gold plastic.

That's just plain ugly.
