- Looks like the plastic is different quality

At $150, I reckon it'll be difficult to justify for non collectors. The box has a nice window display, but looks like it's easily dwarfed if placed side by side with any MISB modern leader class transformer
-Lighter colours, especially the blue.
-Roller is dark blue/purple/whatever as opposed to the grey TT version.

Seriously though, to anyone on the fence about getting this: don't be. It's an amazing piece and well worth the price tag.
Maybe import it from the US if you can get decent postage though, we're almost at dollar equity atm.
