Negative. The "paint upgrades" should have been quality controlled to begin with....three games later Activision decides to "upgrade" them??? No thanks. Theres nothing collector about them what so ever. They are freely available everywhere.....stock is in plentiful supply. I refuse to pay an extra $20 for a "pretty box".
Not sure what you are getting at but myself and the sales assistant had to go through 4 EE chop chops to find one without an obvious paint defect.
Also, these are made to open - so easy to put back.
I was getting at the point that the Original Series 1 figures in question, not the EE figures, should have been quality controlled to begin with when they first came out...in regards to any kind of a "paint upgrade" - other than the gold bases of course. Now Activision is charging more for a better paint job.
Its understandable that some want to get them, but in my book, I just can't justify the price. Maybe if they were "true" collectors editions i.e. , numbered , and certified in limited supply, with said certificate guaranteeing limited stock number and no further manufacture. Might be a different story in that case. But it isnt.
Kinda sucks that you had to dig around for one of these to find a decent paint job as well.....I figured that Activision would at least keep close tags on the Chinese 8 year olds hand painting them for hours on end. I kid, I kid. No offense intended. Just havin a little fun. Seriously tho, werent they advertised as having a better paint scheme?
