Nibun no Ichi has that epic ump to me, Wimp is just meeeh to me all the way through.

Nibun no Ichi has that more of a friend and epic feelz to me. Wimp I really didn't like I also didn't really like it first started in the first 20sec of the song I actually don't lke the duet as much either, which is why I listen to the FAKY version only. It's still a good song in it's own right, but it doesn't do it for me as a Gundam song.

I do agree with you on the team-work, friendship part. There was a part of the song that really stuck out to me and made me feel good inside. Don't quote me on this, but I believe it was this:

"With you, nothing is impossible. You're the one that made me feel this way. You make up for the strength that I lack. I will cover the powers that you lack, let's fly away!"

That... that part was just so unbelievable. That's the part I usually tear up on. Really brings out the whole Sei/Reiji/Builder/Fighter friendship thing. :)

I agree with this, honestly.

As good as the other openings have been, none of them have ever compared to Nibun no Ichi for me. To be honest I was actually really disappointed this new one isn't another BACK-ON track. It's good but it just doesn't feel right.

Exactly my point. I expected BACK-ON to make the new opening but instead we got EDGE of LIFE. It kind of upset me when I first found out about the news but I guess Just Fly Away is a good opening. But I feel BACK-ON could've made a much, much better song.

I know this is a shot in the dark, but does anyone here know of any good Canadian online retailers or physical shops that carry Gundam models for good prices?

Barnes and Nobles

Canadian? Not my area.

Barnes and Noble are not Canadian, and their prices are horrible.

Anime X Treme is my go to place:

They're prices are fair for local pick up, dunno about ordering from them though.

Just curious: why order from a Canadian site and not one of the Japanese stores?
