Pre-Production/Prototype Pics vs In-Hand pics

I think a highly useful tool/thread would be a running, on-going thread compiling direct comparisons between the pre-production/teaser pics vs what actually shows up on our doorsteps via the in-hand shots. Over time, this would help collectors get a feel for what companies are more or less delivering on their promises, at least in terms of paint applications and similarity to the prototype/pre-production shots. This might affect how or if collectors choose to pre-order pieces with confidence. With enough images, it will provide enough statistical power to help us make these types of decisions. What do you guys think?

I think this is a great idea. Maybe a stickied thread in each section?

About time. Wish companies had the balls to do it themselves.. like Prototypez studios im sure are the only ones that did a side by side comparison.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

The prototype on the left looks better than the production

This is best done in the first post of a thread, but people rarely update their own threads here. (Indeed, there's one person in particular who loves to create threads but rarely posts otherwise. I guess he just likes being "first".)

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
