Konig Monster VB6

Anybody have one of these from Yamato? Are there reviews of this thing out there? Wondering if it's worth getting. It's quite pricey (approx. $170-180).

www.macrossworld.com has fifty-three pages onnit, good and bad.

My buddy just got one about a month ago. It is a very impressive robot. The only complaint he seems to have with it is it feels very fragile and that the plastic seems more like a model then a toy. After looking at it myself in person I think I was overall a little disapointed but my expectations where huge. I still plan on buying one though. It just looks too cool.

Being all plastic, the initial reaction would be that it's more of a model than toy.

That would change in time. I haven't gotten mine, but from the comments that I've received it sounds like the VB-6 is a fairly nice toy, both playability wise, and durability wise.

The only issue that I heard complaints about was the 'elbow' joints becoming loose due to the weight of the arm cannons.

Thanks for the input. I went to Macrossworld and learned that Yamato will likely be re-issuing this figure in a few months--maybe during the summer. Maybe Yamato will fix a few of the problem areas as they've done in the past with other Macross toys. BTW, what's a good price for this in the US?
