I can't understand why? Why to build it if you are gonna take it apart, why don't they put it in a place where it can stand forever.

I DO want it to stay and become a tourist attraction. Maybe a national wonder!
Legs and arms finished... wow, looking forward ^^

Who's paying for this?
http://www.pantsu.jp
I think, that Bandai pay for this 1/1 Gundam.
I would gladly see it with my own eyes but the money for a flight to Japan isn´t present >_< ^^"
Tech Support/Semi-programmer XD
I feel your pain :( If they ever take this down for good, I hope someday another one like this would happen again to give chance for us XD
Robotic/Mechanical Engineering Student
I can believe it’s only going to be up for two months after they finish it.
No fair I really want to see it with my own eyes :(
student
It already is looking awesome and it's not even done! Gundam has a special place in my heart, it brought me into the mecha genre and inspired me to build models. This is so amazing!!!
Robotic/Mechanical Engineering Student
Me too, it was the first anime I saw and now I have a closet full of 1/100 MG kits. Wish I had a 1/1 scale kit. ^_^

They should keep it there forever!! Why build it up and take it down?

A good news indeed :3
Gotta plan a trip to Japan to see this before it is dismantled Xd
Film Student, BA
Doesn't look too different from the last one, but I can see part of the romp is now finished. Just a question of attaching the rest of that, then the arms, and then the head, and it's done. Plenty of time, right?
details are sweet, god i am so looking forward to this when its done

Loving it. Next, lets try to make a working model ... maybe not.

Very nice! ^^ Can't wait for the body to be done xD
still working with my unfinished blog
http://moemoekyun.wordpress.com/
wow i fell amazed with the beam sabers !!
just realized that the parts were manufactured in thailand and shipped for assembly on site in tokyo.
They should keep it! Just like that other Statue of Liberty replica a few blocks away, also in Odaiba.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Odaiba_Statue_of_Liberty.jpg
Back when it was first built, Parisians actually want the "fugly" Eiffel Tower torn down after the World Expo in 1888. Good thing no one listened to their suggestions.
So, let's hope they get some sense and keep it for good. ;)

And once complete it will carry out it's sole purpose, to parody the K-On OP.

Dude, that is so awesome. They shouldn't take it down after the period of time its meant to go down, instead make it Japan's world wonder.

http://hobbychaos.blogspot.com
2 Words..AWE-SOME! LOL!!! cant wait to see it done! XD
so are they going put the core block in or skip over that and just have it like a normal suite? with the core block in it, it would put greater detail on the Gundam and make it more like like they way it should be ... also are the gonna pose it?

Hope I'll see it when I go to Japan~
Will it be operational? I'm guessing this is Japan's answer to North Korea.

http://meimi132.wordpress.com/
Hot DAMN thats gonna be awesome when its done!! Seriously epic! I hope they never tear it down EVER!! I hope it'll be there forever like the Big Ben, Statue of Liberty, Tokyo Tower, Eifle Tower etc etc. Tis majorly iconic.
Terrorist ? =)
Why are they going to take it apart ? >_>
Though, maybe they'll "put it back up again" later, but its actually a functional unit =3
The detailing is awesome!

Damn, I'd imagine if it was being built in other parts of the world, that thing would be covered in graffiti already..

So that's what all those decals were for for Gundam Ver Ka.! Those were for hatches! WTF!? Katoki needed all those decals to point out hatches?
part-time worker and full-time slacker
He's just being meticulous...In reality those decals would be important for maintenance purpose or just to keep people stay away..you don't want to suddenly blown away by the thrusters or opening hatches only because you don't know there's one near you when you're working with it..^^)
Art/Media
http://sgallen.wordpress.com/
As expected, they are building it quite fast ^^;
The head is... missing! I guess they're gonna haul the torso on, attach the arms and finally the head.
The detail and decals are amazing, its like the best Gunpla a fan could have ^^;

Wow, I didn't realize they weren't going to leave it up... seems like kind of a waste to build something so cool just to take it down a month later. I hope they keep it up for a long time.
Hospital supply manager and Gundam pilot in training
They take it down by the 31st of August. And next time they build one, it will walk, fly, wage war, make peace and go to space....!!! Nippon Banzai!!!
???Confused???
They should keep this up forever...

You know even if this thing is going to look awesome when it is finished I'm going to miss the construction site, it is awesome by itself.

I can imagine now all the Gundam Fans in their federation cosplay outfits going to the site to get their photos taken with that beautiful work of art....."sigh" wish i could be there.....hehhehe hehehehehe. it should be a permanent display for the world to see.!!!

By the way, if they were to mass produce this kit, what would it be called??? it's definitely beyond "Perfect Grade"......Hmmmmmm Instructions on the kit would probably say: Heavy construction tools required, No acrylic paint, Heavy objects falling Hazard... hehehhehhehe
part-time worker and full-time slacker
feh, special edition model kit will be a definite decision for Bandai...heck, they even release 00 in 2 different colors, so this one will also a go for their production line (not to mention people will buy like crazy for the models though, including me...^^)
but the decals looks like pain in the ass to apply...it's like,everywhere.....(>_<;)

>>Dont have any info about whether they will dismantle it after.
No...no...no, Danny. After showing it off to the world. They will send the Gundam the their secret military base, giving it engines, and actual weaponry.
Why do I know this? Because they sent me a letter requesting me to be their test pilot.

Wow, looking really awesome! I didn't know this was going to be temporary... definitely would vote for keeping it permanent like, so it becomes a fantastic tourist attraction. They could even build a whole Gundam theme park right next/under it!!

O wow! Lookit the size of those beam sabers! 0.o The world better beware if that thing is made real... One destructive weapon.
And I hope they keep it up forever. If not up then lying down on the ground somewhere... Maybe they can disassemble it and put in actual machinery in it as they go along for the second time :P
Student and full-time otaku
Good progress. I think they should keep it as a landmark ^^
