It's not so much being made out of plastic that bothers me - I think both of my Lancers are great things, got them rather crudely mounted on the wall with some chain from B&Q - it's the quality of plastic that is my issue.
For £100 I can't help but think that it feels, well, more like a Nerf gun does than either of my Lancers do because it's that smooth and slippery, almost cheap plastic. Also with this the one bit I was disappointed about was that the prongs on the front are plastic rather than metal, don't know why I just expected metal as it would look better and be more durable for such a delicate piece.
I'm still happy I got it but I'm not so pleased about the quality for,
as I've mentioned a few times, such a high price.
Originally I ordered the P-Body one too since I thought it would be nice to get a whole set of them as I'm sure the Atlas one is inevitably going to be announced later but after getting this one I'll save the extra £200 for stuff coming soon like the Borderlands 2 Ultimate Loot edition.
