This does put the HT version to shame and I actually own it and have loved it for years. I have my pre-order in for this one and can't wait. My "only" small gripe would be that the wheels look a little too bronze and I wish they were slightly darker. I'm sure Joost has references that have shown...
I was on the fence whether or not to pre-order before the 1st but that video put me over the top. Gonna be a long wait til September but sooooo worth it! I really can't even wrap my head around how epic this thing is going to be.
I have no authority to speak on this because I haven't held them both in my hands at the same time, but judging by what others who do have both have said I think they're the same overall. (y)
I think the fragile part is only referring to the wheel mechanism issue. The body of the car should be exactly the same as V1...because technically it is. Lol.
Dammit, I just got the same e-mail. On one hand I'm disappointed in the delay, but on the other maybe it means some of the QC issues will be addressed.
I want this piece way too much to cancel it. Worst case scenario is it arrives broken and I'll just have to go through the hassle of boxing it back up and returning it.
If you or anyone comes up with a good solution for this please post it here because that's the first thing I plan on addressing when mine comes in. (y)
