Mine arrived yesterday. Looks like it had to run a blockade and the shipping box took significant battle damage.
But the inner black box was still pristine. Looking inside, the large panels seemed a bit underwhelming after all the hype. As I dug down and the parts got smaller the detail seemed to get finer and finer - a very counterintuitive relationship. I started getting excited.
Excitement morphed into apprehension as I dug into side #2 (inside that big black box it's divided indeed into two compartments, left and right). There were SO MANY friggin' parts. OMG! It would take me years of patient building to put all this together. Let alone PAINT the thing so as to do it any justice at all.
Apprehension transitioned into outright fear as I got to the 'box within the box' filled with piping and stuff I will need to use a microscope to pick and place onto the model - if I ever get that far. I was afraid to look at them too hard lest I break one in two just through the act of observation.
Never even noticed the electronics package - wherever that was hidden. By that point, I had settled on despair as I carefully reversed everything I had done to put the genie back in the box, as it were.
Need to find some way to get worthy before I contemplate opening that box again with intention to do anything but gawk.
Just, wow!
