It appears to be physically the same piece. I don't expect it'll look much different than the 2020 Version of the wand.

Let me give you a little perspective.
Suffering is someone dying of Covid in a hospital ward without any of their family being able to visit them.
Suffering is nearly dying from pancreatitis, and having to be stuck with various bits of metal for drip feeds and monitors to keep check on your vitals, which ultimately make it extremely difficult to fall asleep at night. And on top of that, having a compromised immune system that means friends and family can't get too close in case they pass on an infection that would be otherwise harmless.
Suffering is being beaten in the street over your perceived sexuality and having to re-adapt to life following brain damage from that attack.
Suffering is losing your job because a fellow employee lied about you.
Suffering is finding out your daughter was given a date rape drug on a night out.
(Each of these scenarios has happened to people I know or work with) What isn't suffering? Finding out part of a toy has been recoloured orange.
What you and many other soon-to-be neutrona wand owners are experiencing is not suffering. What you are experiencing is a minor inconvenience.
I ask that any further discussion of modification to the neutrona wand take place in the Neutrona Wand thread, as that's the more appropriate place than clogging up the HasLab Pack thread:
