cool.


I'm still waiting on the Mandarake box that has my first Gundam or two.

And I watched a low res copy of Gundam Seed The Empty Battlefield, since I find most of the designs I like are from Seed and Seed Destiny, but I should have believed the reviews that said it wasn't a good introduction to the show - it moved very fast, gave me little chance to learn who any of the characters were, one that I did get to recognize disappeared a little over half-way thru (I'm assuming he comes back later on, since he was Kira's friend and they swore they'd have to fight to the death next encounter), I never could tell who was on which side, what the hell a Controller actually was, or ZAFT, or just what in the hell was happening. Not going to bother watching the other 2 movies. I may try and watch the show, someday, after I get a few more Kamen Rider shows put away.

I did like Strike Gundam, and the one Athrun piloted (forgot it's name at the moment), and assuming I enjoy building the HG I've got coming, I may try to get those two.

Athrun's is the Aegis, which I love for the mobile armor mode. Unlike alot of people I really enjoyed Seed. My only complaint might be the overuse of flashbacks to the same 3 or 4 scenes over and over. The show as a whole was pretty excellent though. Really nice designs that pay tribute to a lot of classic UC designs, even more so in Destiny.

Aegis is cool! And Strike is one of the smartest looking Gundams around! But not my favourite lead though, that has to be Turn-A!

You know, I've always wanted to see Turn-A.

I do love an adorable trap

Turn A is excellently weird. I came across the bootleg Hong Kong DVD's about 10 years ago and even with those I still got the gist of it. Really cooky designs for the new mecha they used, but I loved the concept that all Gundam series had taken place on one Earth. And had been periodically erased from history. Except for the secret database on the moon. It has all the key notes of pure sci-fi weirdness/awesomeness.

I've just been perusing dalong.net, checking out some of the Seed and Seed Destiny kits, and oh shit, they made CLEAR kits? Fuuuudge, I might need to get one of those.

I'd say ZZ and Delta,but best thing to do is see a review of them on youtube or something.See if they have any flaws first.
