Keiichi Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Great review, jenius. Hadn't been interested in this at all, but after watching/reading your review I'm sorely tempted. Could you perhaps take some pictures of it standing next to a Robot Damashii VF-25? Quote
jenius Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I think that could be easily arranged but what mode do you want to see it in next to these other toys? Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) Gerwalk probably. Up to you man, only if you feel like playing around and actually have the time. I'm not that much of a scale nazi, i could forgive that extra 10 lol. Who really cares right? it's amazing. Edited October 20, 2010 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Keiichi Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I agree with ruskii, gerwalk would be my first choice. If you have the time however, some shots of the RD next to a battroid Monster would also be appreciated. Quote
jenius Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 No problem. I'm setting up my photo booth again for another round of shots and I'll bust some of the old toys out for a group shot or two before I put the Konig away. While I'm at it I'm also going to try to find a way to set up my video camera so the lighting doesn't completely screw up the white balance... I guess that's what I get for using such a cheapy video camera though. Anyway, I can imagine a shot that might work for everyone so I'll try to make that happen... may take a few days before I get it online though. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Sounds good! Cheers for this Jenius. Quote
Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) Got a package in the mail yesterday...poor quality photos, but here is my contribution anyway Edited October 23, 2010 by Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Quote
Kicker773 Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 So where can we find good deals on both versions for these? Quote
Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 So where can we find good deals on both versions for these? Got mine on E-bay for $172 shipped. Not sure what kind of prices everyone else is getting. Seemed decent to me. Quote
ae_productions Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 BBTS has it for $199.00 if you're stateside. If you wait until Joel runs one of his specials, you can get an extra 10% - 20% off. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search.aspx?search=konig+monster If you're in Los Angeles, hit Frank and Sons. You can deal with some of the venders. Usually, if you are paying in cash, you'll get a pretty damn good deal. Quote

Just look. I got mine for 196.00 and thats with EMS shipping and it got here from japan to NJ in 3 days! Quote

holytoledo69 Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 That poor VB-6, all that transit time only to end up in Jersey. Whats wrong with NJ? we're famous for: The first game of baseball happened in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1846. The first "Professional" Basketball game was played in Trenton, November 7th, 1897 The first intercollegiate Football game in New Brunswick, 1869. In the war of the Worlds radio prank, the martians landed in West Windsor Township, NJ. Drive in Movie Theatres Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra, Grover Cleveland, Bon Jovi and Buzz Aldrin were born in NJ. The Lightbulb The Salt Water Taffy Fudge Electric Guitar *back on topic* Still enjoying my VB-6 awesomeness! Movie Projectors Quote
jenius Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Also, New Jersey was a key location in the movie Bukaroo Banzai. Somebody asked for a pic? This is the best I could do. If it's not exactly what you wanted, I apologize but I'm probably not going to be doing any re-shooting 'cause I made a mess pulling a bunch of toys out and then I had to put them all away. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 thanks for that Jenuis! Excellent pic. Quote

ikhii Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 It has been a while since my last post in this forum. After I received my Konig... it's crazy not to share some photos of this baby. It is one of the best so far from Bandai and I really love the build quality as well as the aesthetics of the design. Surely will come out with QTVR again if I have the time. Enjoy the pic. Cheers, ikhii Quote
charger69 Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Surely will come out with QTVR again if I have the time. I support your next QTVR!! SV-51 QTVRs were awesomeee! Quote
ikhii Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I support your next QTVR!! SV-51 QTVRs were awesomeee! Yeh Thanks... before that, I need to dissect the konig and make sure it is prepped for the QTVR... hahahha... Quote
UNSpacy Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 THANKS! Was going to order from AmiAmi this week, but this is even cheaper. Ordered 2 and the EMS shipping came out to 8300. Missed out on the stands though (it's only 15% off now). UNSpacy Just saw Hobby search has the SP version for 10000 Yen . . . http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10116611 and sorta off topic but the deep blue stand is 50% off as well! http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10114747 Quote

ae_productions Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 won't be long now, sheryl guard koenig on the way! I am JEALOUS! Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) How are the joints holding up guys? I read this ain't that heavy, but got some nice metal parts where needed. I'm f'n excited about this, i plug the laptop into my 55" led and click slideshow on my vb-6 special folder, about 160 pics worth of DROOL. Funny, i absolutely love my weathered 1/60 tomohawk, and this being a variable destroid makes me want more destroids, that 1/100 Monster is in my sights.... 1/100 army!!!
