in the 2nd picture, the rainbow plastic from the top right side is back (even though Jack from JJP said it was being canned ?) but i reckon that plastic looks great and adds some great colour.

I agree. It works!

and i am not sure as to what other differences, if at all there is ???)

I believe there's a topper that interacts with the game, but Ant68 may know more on that.
