Addi Clicks arrived today!

Ok. I admit. I got into the frenzy of people cooing how good addi needles are and I was looking for a set of interchangeable needles. I've looked at Denise and didn't like the feel of it. I drooled at knitpicks harmony, the colorful wooden needle. Then I saw addi and just wanted a set. I placed my orders on webs and it came. I am not as excited as I thought I would. The packaging was filmsy without padding and the box just look battered and dusty. You know, like you ship something without properly packaging it. For $149.99, I would think they will put a few form peanuts in it. The needles look like what's shown on the website. I tried connecting the needles with cable and it works fine. Until I start to use it I won't know how good they are, given that I have not tried any addi before. Here's a couple pictures.
