As the great disassembly continues, Gundam loses his head and left arm. The right is due to come off tomorrow.

Where do they bring the parts? Can I buy an arm?

I'm guessing Bandai dropped several dimes to have this thing made, it would be criminally insane to never do anything else with it. Isn't there a theme park somewhere with a Gundam-shaped hole in it?

Cool, they're recreating the end of Gundam 0080. It just needs to shoot some Santa Claus balloons.

I spoke to several key staffers over the course of the display and while there are no official plans for it as of yet, it is most definitely not being discarded. The general vibe I got was that it might be touring the country, put up for a period of time in various places. But nothing's been decided yet. Given the huge numbers of people (four million at last count) who visited it's a given we'll be seeing Gundam again somewhere.

Yet we've all seen Bandai piss away major money on lesser things, so...
MAN if they had just build the Beam Rifle, and designed the right arm to move up, they could have an an AWESOME last night, Very Last Shooting indeed!

Matt, please ask someone to get the 1/1 Gundam and the 1/1 Scopedog together someway, someplace. Maybe then it will spontaneously occur to them that the time has come for a Sunrise theme park!

After four million people showed up just to see the Gundam, I am sure the thought of setting up a park has crossed their minds more than once...

The Kobe T-28 is up now though...
