personally i would not be happy with that pair. there are a few things i'v noticed with it. first its not the updated lights pair. that may be due to you ordering a size they dont do with the updated lights. there are 2 more issues i see which to me seem very sloppy. refer to the attached pics!
like i said. i would not take this pair but hey thats my opinion.
Who made these?

These v3 seem to have a slightly darker grey fabric and a bit too shiny.
They are extremely easy to spot now in photos.
The white puffy collars and toebox are easy giveaways.

That ^^ and the profile of the mid-sole. The real shoes have a much more defined shape to their mid-sole. I was looking at eBay listings, V3 after V3, suddenly there is a pair listed at $12K and as soon as I moused over the image, it immediately clear they were the real deal.

they use non UV stable rubber as its cheaper. Its all down to cost as is everything these days.

I'm sure I posted a photo already, but I have a UV inhibitor for adding to non UV stable products. You only mix this at 100:1, so the bottle will last me a ling time.
The clear polyurethane I have is already UV stable and I add a few drops of translucent blue to make the parts water clear.
Ebay will pull any listing that is a replica of any major brand. There are a lot that sneak through but adding "replica" or "custom made" won't fool them.

I sold my 2011 Mags yesterday
It's bitter sweet, nice to get paid but very sorry to let them go also, but since these V3 have been released, it has crossed my mind many times to let them go. The V3's look so good now that I am happy with them and I can be much more relaxed about them, where as I barely dared to touch the real Mags.
Anyway, I guess my point is, anyone who's into mags or still on the fence about them, just do it.
You did right. Those batteries will fail one day...sod taking them apart. The soles also began yellowing after a few years even in a dark wardrobe. I was happy the day they sold, not sad.

I agree. It was sort of hard letting mine go but it was all worth it after I got the money. lol. I could care less now. I'm very proud to have been a caretaker of them for the years that I had them.

I did well out of mine also
It was an honour to own them, as it will be for the new owner. V3s sort of killed the special feeling to be honest. Maybe in 10 years we'll kick ourselves, maybe not..
