Happened to me too! I got 2 instead of 1 arctic s3. Tried contacting WL repeatedly, but as usual they didnt reply! I just got a reply mail stating "arctics will ship next week" or something and I was like, no more s3s plz!!
My G2 wasn't sharply focused at all!!!
beam wasn't so clean with arms projecting on either side!! :(
Check out the pics of the beam of my G2 that I took -

I too got my laser last month!
I only got to 'properly' use it a few days ago.

Nice! I'm thinking of modifying the training lens too.
