However, I didn't see anything on any of the Amazon sites that said all metal, just upgraded metal version.
Yep,

I just looked again last night.. And it has been changed on a few of them.. I honestly don't think it was Imex/Taigen that posted that though.. Might have been Amazon or another seller that did the listing initially? I have seen many misprints for a lot of stuff on Amazon at times.. Like a watch that is a wind up, with a battery included? Wind up watches need no battery....... So, I highly suspect it might have been a different seller or Amazon who proofed the listing..

So, yes, I agree with you..

Like Erik just posted, they do NOT make a 100% all metal tank.. And it should not be described as such..

As Erik just stated, and I quote,
sometimes they do not copy the descriptions right or get a bit too creative when writing them.
I agree fully with Erik.. I'm sure this was NOT done by Imex/Taigen.. But by another seller or Amazon probably?

There were 4 sellers of that tank on that day when I bought mine.. I went through the list of sellers and chose the cheapest one.. That was "The Phoenix Model Company." There was another seller on there selling the same exact tank for $699... So I went with the cheaper seller.. So I have no doubt that things get fudged for creative selling..
