I don't know how well the

I don't know how well the rubber arms will hold up but this release is wonderful. There should be a robocon of some sort in every collection. If the price of vintage originals, or this one here is out of your budget, you should buy the GA-14R reissue version.

Although it doesn't replicate the on-screen appearance as this toy does, the GA-14R is an inexpensive piece and a chunk of heavy metal. You can pick it up any time, they are always available. Use Japanese secondary market pricing for mint or unused MIB examples as your guide. This equates to about half (or in some cases even less) of what eBay sellers are asking for it. Don't be fooled into paying too much an all gold 14R came out also, that one is a bit more $.

You can see Josh's review of the GA-14R here: http://www.collectiondx.com/toy_review/1999/robocon_reissue
