The Big Boy graphic looks great. The fantasy gray version of the locomotive is very nice. (Mine arrived broken) As for the first run edition. Mine arrived looking as if a toddler had rattle canned it. Not too impressed with Lionel's quality control. (Will also add, each and every one of the Bush funeral cars received at the same time all exhibited broken parts).

I'm convinced after helping at my LHS on Saturdays, 95% of Lionel's issues with broken parts are not QC but packaging. The boxes are flimsier, internal packing isn't always adequate, and why most are not a top bottom cradle rather than trying to pull a locomotive out and re packaging it from the side is beyond me. You fix the packaging and you fix a lot of their issues. From the looks of yours, some of that is definitely pre-packaging problems.
