lol They lie!

Nah, that sounds about right. Cheers mate!

Mine just arrived and it is really nice.
Couple of teeny marks but nothing major.

However, I do think I'll cancel my P-Body one as I don't really think the quality of plastic and that is really £100 worth tbh, even taking into account the limited run of 5000 worldwide.

Kinda with you on that - for the price tag it could've been higher quality.

yeah i wouldn't see the point of having the p-Body one as well as this one either - it's a tough one as i'm not sure it's worth £100 but then what else could they have made it from - plastic seems more accurate to the real thing, metal would have been too heavy and would have just seemed weird anyway i do think it is well made but i know what you mean it is a little too plasticky - not to worry but this is the same thing that makes me wary of these sort of props like the GoW Lancer or M8 Avengers they cost so much money and at the end of the day they are just plastic...

Got mine today too!
However mine seems to be in perfect condition

P.s chasing the dog around the house with it was well worth £100!

I can safely say that my Portal gun was also flawless! Just need to get some batteries for it to test it... >.< Still intend on getting the P-Body gun too!

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.

Just wondering, but anybody who got a portal gun which wasn't from play.com, did the box come with a shitload of tape keeping the end flaps closed? I think it looks really crap on the box and I'm wondering whether it came from NECA like that or whether it was something play.com were doing in the warehouse...

I never bough one, but is the sound as bad as it sounded on the demo stuff? By contrast, I thought the lancer was awesome!

I dunno as I have no batteries for mine! XD Gonna have to pick some up. Really wanna see it lit up! ^o^
