I have two of the HT R2s (the better/non-yellowy DX version) and two of the Sideshow R2s and I really do think the SSC holds up pretty well.
I love the crispness of the white and blue on the HT, but with a wipe of rubbing alcohol I think the SSC dome can look close to as good as the HT metal dome (which doesn't look quite as metallic under natural daylight vs spotlights.)
I never understood the loathing of the SSC R2 and the near uniform love of the HT. Some of that was deserved due to the floppy hatches on the SSC, but the "the HT feels nice and heavy" argument (heavier = "quality collectible", lighter = "cheap plastic" or even "metal = quality") is nonsense.
Has anyone had to fix the lights on Sideshow R2?
I brought a cheap one where the lights weren't working, and after some poking and prodding the wires and circuit boards, I managed to get them to come on.
Can't seem to get the projector light to work or the lights to turn off by pressing the dome button as per the instructions though. Do you have to press in a particular spot and/or quite firmly?
