Obviously it's personal opinion, but for me, those are the worse flaws I've seen so far. At $600, I'd be asking for a new pair.

Yeah the pinched fabric would set off my OCD.

Ordered my first pair but they still haven't arrived in Australia according to the tracking.
Paid on the 22/07
been hearing the stories here of quick shipping, and jealous.

So do we know if any of the newer ones being made have the blue tint clear soles now.

So the "shipping" goes like this:
Day 1: Order and Pay
Day 2: you get confirmation that payment went through
Day 3:
Day 4:
Day 5:
Day 6:
Day 7-8: you get Quality Control photos to approve (if you don't approve, it will take 5-7 more days to get new shoes made)
Day 9: you get a confirmation email that your shoes will ship and you will receive a tracking number in 2-4 days
Day 10:
Day 11:
Day13-14: Tracking number is emailed to you
Day 14-15: shoes are moving through DHL in China
Day 16: Shoes have left China
Day 17: Shoes have arrived in your countries customs
Day 18: They have cleared customs and are out for delivery

I mean mine are clear as well but one or two people on here have gotten the blue tint. I would love to have that on a pair. Here's are the comparison (mine is on the right):

See the think about every other version before the V3 was reasonably priced, and the only way to go with them was up towards more accuracy. These V3's make it hard for anyone to think about opening them up, because of the price. The lights and odd fabric issues make it hard for me to pull the trigger. I did consider getting a US10, but this batch seems subpar and it only seems to slowly get worse.

Makes me happy that I mistakenly pulled the trigger the day that Jedifyfe posted his video.

I paid for a pair on the 25/07 and have received no word on QC pictures or tracking yet. I tend to think they might not have had many orders for sz 13 so that's maybe why it's taking a little longer. I have sent 2 separate messages asking for an update and QC pics with no reply as yet...

Mine are clear, but have no discernible blue tint.
Can you please take some photos of the join between the side waffle and the pyramid base? It looks in this images that these parts made separate and joined on later. Interesting too that there is no rim on the waffle. It is almost like they made a sheet of the material (for the master past), cut it out and then molded and cast that.

Yep, the bottom pyramid pattern over laps the waffle pattern about 1/4" glued all the way down. I am in the process of removing the clear soles on mine.
Are you deconstructing your V3's already?!
If so, bravo. You're the hero this forum needs. :lol

OK so we have an overlap which means there is a step on the edge of the parts. Do we know if that step is on the detail side or the smooth side? If the step is on the detail side of the pyramid mat, this really easy to replicate. If the step is on the smooth side, I need make a cutout on my master that allows the silicone to flow under the part. Either way, this can be done.
Something else became painfully clear to me is that on the V2, the side wing extends to wrap around the back of the shoe. This is not the case on the real shoe or the V3. This almost looks to be cut back and the back of the mid-sole is slightly thicker here than it would be in the same place of the V2 from the centre line.

Why are you doing that?

Probably wont completely deconstruct them as far as the electronics/fabric. Right now I am just removing the clear soles only to hopefully mold and replace them. The clear soles are the only part I feel confident in removing, as they are they only parts I feel I'll be able to glue back together nicely. I really want to get to the battery/inverter but I just don't see how without completely butchering them.
