I actually think some of the Anaconda pieces look pretty okay :3

The textures are a bit low quality... but meh.

IMHO these "platypus" bumpers are definitely not good enough for 10 Euros.
I'd better buy another paintjob pack

These were heavily criticized in the main forums, not just because of the strange look they can impart to the ship, but also because:

-they don't match most paint jobs. That is, they are a single color that doesn't take on the same hue/sat at the main paint job.
-they have no texutre. They are flat, plain, single color with some 'plastic-y' looking grooves/shapes.
-they don't wear in the same way as your main paint job, making them stick out even more.
-they develop odd wear 'stamps' or 'decals' that look totally out of place.
-cost vs quality

To each his own, I guess.
