PG 1/60 00 Raiser - Image Gallery @ Schizophonic9.blog103.fc2.com

A very nice completed PG 1/60 00 Raiser by ガンプラの山を崩せさん
Although this PG is by my standard not as popular as it's prodessesors, but gotta admit that once this kit is painted, it looks really good.  Almost makes me want to get one.....almost.
There are 3 parts:  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Gundam Museum - Images from 1/200manax

The Bandai Museum is located in Mibu, Shimotsuga District, Tochigi, Japan.  The images below are at the courtesy of 1/200maniax san. (His link is HERE)

Originally, it was at Matsudo, Chiba, but it was closed in 2006.  I had the opportunity to visit it before it closed that summer.  And it was great! Before the 1:1 Gundam ever graced the earth, the Bandai Museum's Gundam Museum was the wildest thing I ever saw.  And being able to put on a cosplay costume of a regular Feddie's uniform and took a close up with the 1:1 Gundam bust was well worth the admission price. 

My August trip to Japan is coming up fast....but I don't think if I would have a time to visit the new Bandai Museum.  I would probably only go see the 1:1 Gundam in Shizouka.

Gundam Cafe @ Shizuoka (RG 1:1 Gundam Display)

At Shizuoka, where the RG 1:1 RX-78-2 Gundam will be on display this year, there will be a Gundam Cafe booth setup to sell food & products.  I am now really looking forward to going there this August with GunGai (Gaijin Gunpla), Busterbeam (Plamo Addiction), & ASM (An American Salaryman in Tokyo).  Is going to be a blast!

 
Now that I know Gundam Cafe is going to be there as well, just makes it even better. I wouldn't mind trying the Jaburo Coffee, Gunpla-Yaki Curry w/ the zaku eye & the Ver. Shizuoka limited green tea pie! LOL

And the limited items that will be sold at the event are just AWESOME, you know I will be getthing some of these!

There are many more limited items to be sold onsite, but these are just some that I've currently got my eyes on:

MG 1/100 XXXG-01D Deathscythe EW - New Image

MG 1/100 XXXG-01D Deathscythe EW (Release Date: Sept. 2010 , Price: 3990 Yen) 

I am quite disappointed that there is still no wings for this guy, even though we all know we can get the wings from other kit or make them ourselves, but the lack of having one right out of the box makes this Deathscythe looks naked.
