It is a great time to be a mospeada fan I was lucky enough to buy the blue cm's when they where 220 and again I feel kind of lucky to have gotten the toynami beta for 110 and the blue alpha for 80 (when they first came out what two three years ago). So, if you really think about the Beta and alpha which are sold separately, can cost you 230 which is just about the cost of the cm minus the shipping when they first came out. My blue alpha does have some QC issue mostly with paint and parts not lining up correctly and my beta so far seems to be QC free and when you put them together they do look great and connect very well. The CM on the other hand has zero QC issue but the link up is not that great but with some patience you can get them to connect very nicely and in my opinion looks a little better the alpha and beta but that's just me. To be honest I like them both with a slight edge to the cm's legioss and tread.
