    I'm still convinced that they put a big, LCD display in the cockpit so when the door is opened, there is a "pilot" inside.

      It would cost far less to hire a guy dressed in a space suit to sit there for a few hours and act a bit than it would to put in an LCD display.

      Richard... if they want to spy on the tech that let's the thing move, they need only buy a RG, MG, or PG Gunpla. Same tech, different materials. Truthfully... I think they need to stop sending guys out to reposition this thing so often and instead get them working on a 1/1 scale Zaku to go alongside it. Go ahead everyone... Picture THAT, and then go change your underwear.

    I'd like to see a remake of the master grade nu and sazabi, like a ver 2.0 or something, rather than a real grade release. Models of the the master grades are more than a decade old...

    RG Nu and Sazabi would be epic. Either that or Nu/Sazabi MG 2.0. Or maybe the PG Nu Gundam that everyone has been waiting since...forever lol.
