Well I can understand that a few people payin alot of money for a product would probably expect the highest quality. However, you have to remember that most of the products they sell are hand made/painted, so there are always going to be things that are not perfect, and on top of that, they are making ALOT of these. The clone helmet for example, just he plain white one in an LE of 2500 helmets total. Besides the number, they have to meet all the demands of the customer, making sure that all 2500 of those helmets get made and get to the buyer on time.
My gf actually got me an MR clone for christmas, and I couldnt honestly be any happier with it. The one thing that I can say slightly upsets me is that its not a numbered plaque. But then again, I do not care for what number it is, becuase it dosnt make a difference if your's is number 259 and mine is 1002, its still a clone helmet, and the fact is, I have it. I dont think anyone in their right mind pays that much money for a number, over having the actual product. Just hold onto whatever MR SW stuff you have, their contract is over with LFL, and there will be no more "official" sales from MR in SW
I love this thing
