Well, it'll make a great base to start from, but for discerning collector's it's gonna provide some disappointment.

More pictures of the MR EE-3 at Comic-Con:

They still haven't fixed the stock greeblies on the right side of the stock. Oddly on the left side they are correctly mounted.
The front scope mount is still backward.
The best part of these pics. You do get a much better feel of the paint job which looks really good.
I notice screws in the buttstock?? Are there screws in the buttstock of the real one?? :confused
The asian gentleman in the backround here is Brain. He is the major designer of the Star Wars Props.

These are all sold out. Have been for months. I have 1 on order through my MR Wholesale program. I had 2 on order but I am going to cancel the second one as I can't aford to have 2 sitting around.

That's the beauty of pre-selling using a prototype that was painted by Lee, and not waiting to open sales once the real product is identified. Good marketing = good sales.

Is that really the final MR EE-3?? I hope not, I have one on order and that looks rubbish!
Yep. Yep it is. Those were pics posted by a member of the RPF as he opened his MR box and then placed on his shelf.
Hopefully the price will plummet and I can pick one up on the cheap to do a repaint on.
I know some people say "Oh that will ruin it as a collectable"
That thing, as is...is not collectable!

Yup, those are not promising pictures of the Fett rifle.

If I stand miles away from my screen and squint it doesn't look so bad

WOW I am so glad I didn't jump on that bandwagon. I was really really thinking about getting on of those. I would be so pissed if I had.

I also ordered one.. many many months ago (LE version... already paid in advance...), and I feel the same... I'm very sad. I havent got it already (LE will send in august... ehem... at least they say so), but judging the pics, I'm very very frustated...
I dont know if I will repaint it, but I'm thinking it seriously... !!!!. I really think that pain sucks !!!
Collectibity ???? who cares, will be mine, so noone would be able to get at least the one I have, so, who cares.. !!!

I added a pic of the Hyper-firm
Granted, i need to repaint mine, but this is a good comparison for accuracy

That is a great comparison Lewis .. thanks for post it...
Well, talking about accuracy, I think the MR is really really GREAT !!! (talking about SHAPE not paint)... and althought the HF is amazing, I think the MR is a little more accurate, and the most important (at least for me), is that is all metal !!! Nice point that... cause if you want a full metal one, I think you would have to spend a lot of tons of money... so MR could be a good point if you planning to repaint it (sad to having to think about repaint a MR )
In any case, the HF could be the very very very best for trooping !!! (I love that rubber !!! )

i posted over on rpf about that.
so far i've got about $600 into my mostly metal replica i'm working on.
- bronze webley
- custom aluminum replacement barrel and scope blocks
- custom walnut stock
- rubber barrel fins
- tasco scope
- resin greeblies
my scope isn't super-accurate, so that will get replaced when i eventually find the right thing. and from what i hear, that will add another $150 - $200 to my final number.
which means that the MR would have been a more cost effective way to go in the end. i'll still have to paint mine, so repainting the MR wouldn't have been any more effort. and i'd have a sweet display case.
i'm hoping to get one of those MR cases. so if anyone doesn't want theirs, let me know
