I know some of you have mentioned this already, but, does anyone know if this release will come with the improvements that we all would like to see build wise? The gunpod and landing gear, etc. The gunpod and its mounting problem were a bummer for me as far as the price goes. Otherwise, I have been ok with it. I was really happy to even see it made. I have to agree some, that after spending the money for it and it having the QC problems, I feel a little disappointed. Granted no one held a gun to my head and said you need to buy this, but I wasn't sure if it was going to be reissued again, so I took the chance. Now that is is going to be release with the FP, I wish I didn't bother before. But, live and learn. However, by the same token, the 1st release for its price point (although complex), should not have had these problems. Its like buying dvd movies lately. They release the initial collector's one, them a few months later, the dircetor's cut, then a little while after that the ultimate edition, etc. Just get it right the first time. If you know there is a good market for a highly demanded item, yet low volume item, make it right the first time. Then everyone is happy and will be back for more. I am probably going to give up on my hobby soon. Pricing has increased greatly, while QC has gone down. Hopefully, there will be a day when the 1st release is truely a quality piece, as it should be.
