So you remember that Gundam in Japan?

Post by Super Robot »

So, the Japanese built a 1/1 Scale Gundam not to long ago in Odaiba Park... And now, its not there anymore. That's right, the Japanese have torn down the Gundam, it no longer stands in Odaiba Park. They're apparently moving it to a Museum somewhere...

They're doing what now!? I-Why? They spent so much time and money building the thing. And do they really have museums with six stories worth of open air?

A...museum? That just brings a lot of questions, I can't really know which one to ask first...not like I'd expect answers, but...

Trust me, I found it more than suspicious myself...
GO through all that hassle to make a Gundam in the middle of a park...
Then take it down...

Tomino Level Serious fans would know:

2009 is the year that the Earth Federation formally established a military...
Japan built a Gundam this year...
Nasa is working on a Moon Base...

Perhaps we've been building Shangri-La colony this entire time!

It was an anniversary publicity stunt. Japan loves those. Like when I forget which train station made Darth Vader stationmaster for a day. I hope they resurrect the Gundam Museum, this is seriously higher quality than the 1/1 Gundam half they had before, and I think I have a coupon for my next visit... Though the old one had a core fighter and manual...

They made a 1/1 giant metal Snorlax in Nagoya, back in 2005. I wish I knew what they did with it, because I would honestly take out a mortgage to own it...
