    I'm a fairly big Gundam fan. It just seems that people on here bash anime for lame cliched reasons whenever the topic comes up.

    Now gentlemen let's not let petty differences take away from the pure, concentrated awesome of a lifesize gundam.

    I think I speak for all of us when I say...

    it's amazing the things that people waste money. all the money that the japanese put to crazy stuff like this and giant beetle robots should go to cancer research or something.

    You know, I thought that too. Then a little voice in the back of my head was like, "Damn it, it's a life size Gundam, just appreciate it for what it is and try not to think about it." :lol  I still wonder how much it cost to build and assemble..

    This is the second 1/1 scale Gundam they've built...anyone else think that somewhere underground or something, they almost have a fully functioning Mobile Suit & are planning to introduce it the next time they battle?

    scary awesome. I want to travel there in August so I can get some pictures of it...I'll get a EFSF Pilot suit and wear it too..

    This thing is so amazing to see in person. They had the chest vents working tonight. Steam was pouring out. It was so cool.

    Its things like this that sometimes make the 16 hour days working in Japan worth it.

    Between this and the Transformers Red Carpet event in Roppongi Hills, I am having a great week !

    It's not being pulled down in July, rather in August. But I'm sure it will be erected again in the future, possibly with a second suit beside it.

    They should fly it to Denver and have it sit on top of that giant blue horse with the glowing eyes.
