Received mine this morning and only had enough time to un-box it before work.  Was not going to take any photos yet, but when I picked it up after removing it from the packaging the shell came off.  I guess they forgot to insert the screws that hold the shell on.

OOPS forgot the screws, that inspires confidence!

And nit picking, noticed all the same color plugs and sockets on board, maybe they are numbered and not visible, but sure could lead to mixup when re-installing board.

Suppose number boards were red to simulate dim incandescent bulbs.  Would not be hard to install white LEDs, toned down with orange paint, for number boards if red lighting bugs a modeler (though might have to re-adjust resistors for right low brightness).  Maybe Menards will change number board LEDs in next run?

My two cents. Might as well join the nit picking fray.
