Also, a HG of the Blast Impulse would be nice.
Is there even a single 1/144 High Grade or No Grade Gundam kit with the beam javelin? I don't mean like the glaives Wufei's suits have or the GM Striker, I mean one with a ball end with beam spikes coming off of it. It baffles me that Bandai is so hesitant to include it with any version of the Gundam, it was not exactly something he rarely used. Hell, it was his weapon of choice against battleships. The hammer, on the other hand, he used maybe 3 times and he gets it semi-often.
Blast Impulse is the only Impulse kit to not get a high grade. I honestly think it's because Bandai doesn't want to include the beam javelins with it, yet doesn't want to release a high grade or 1/100 kit without it and look like cheap asses.
Why must Bandai cut these corners?

no kit has ever had the Beam Jav but the RD RX does and boy is it a beast of a toy.

Times like these, I wish I had the cash to resin cast. Some clear resin, making the javelin would be easy. Shame it'd cost me a fortune.

I found a semi-cheap Robot Damashi Gundam with the javelin and some other interesting weapons. Can 1/144 kits hold the weapons well, or is it too different?

Nevermind, I found the answers to much of that.
Anyway, does anyone know when Gundam Origin comes out? They are making an anime of it, if I recall. Any excitement from you guys, or do you think it will be unnecessary?
I really like Mobile Suit Gundam, but I do admit the age of it would be a turn off to many. I would love if Brad Swaile voiced Amuro again, he does a great job of it.

Going to be cool to see the Providence in action. That thing is a beast.
I was a little let down that there doesn't appear to be any explanation for why Zala is giving him such an advanced unit. The guy gets his GuAIZ busted and it's just, here you go, the most powerful unit we've made to date. Whatever, I guess someone has to pilot it, and it needs to be someone with spatial awareness, which I guess is a La Flaga family trait.
I will be glad to finally see the Strike Rouge appear. It's been quite a wait.

{Spoiler}Mu's helmet is still gone (following the GS: Special Edition edits), likely to keep it in line with GSD.

I think the firing of GENESIS and the detonation of the Cyclops system would rank up there with some of the most gruesome scenes in Gundam series, up there with the death of Kycilia Zabi. Between that and Tolle's death, this is one gruesome show sometimes.

Seed Destiny HD Remaster is a go: www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-11-16/gundam-seed-destiny-hd-remaster-project-announcedHere are my predictions of what they might do: - Some non-essential clip shows are dropped
- They'll use the Final Plus ending instead of the original ending
- Use some plot points from the TV Movies
- "Fields of Hope" gets Retracked
- New commercial break bumpers, featuring Athrun/Cagalli and Shinn/Stellar (later to be replaced by Lunamaria)
And the predictions that I hope they don't do: - Keep the Phase 20 retcon of the deaths of Shinn's family (in which only the Calamity fired, as opposed to crossfire between Freedom and Calamity); if they did, then it'll be the "Nicol Swings First" controversy again
But there's a feeling the GSD HD Remaster is gonna be like putting lipstick on a pig.

Possibly, but it could be worthwhile.
Also, farewell Flay. You were less irritating than, uhhh, some of the people from Zeta Gundam, at least? You died as you lived: topless.

No one can be more irritating than Katz. No one. Even in the SRW games the guy is irritating (and useless, btw).

Stargazer was better than I expected, given the short length. Since I have finished SEED, I guess I might as well watch Destiny when they re-do it.
Now I am stuck on what to watch next, though. I have seen 00, Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta, Gundam Wing, SEED, 08th MS Team, most of Stardust Memory(will finish that soon), Stargazer, Endless Waltz, and Trailblazer. I am not sure which other series are available. Dub is preferable, but subbed is fine, too.

THere's War In The Pocket, F91, Victory, ZZ and 4 episodes of Unicorn as far as UC goes. AGE finished recently, but it's a wreck by the end. And then there are my 2 favourites: X and G.

Ah, forgot to mention, I saw War in the Pocket already, too. I am curious about X. Did it finish? Is it hard to find?

X finished, but it was rushed since they cut down the number of eps. from 50 to 37, so the last part (the space arc) was greatly rushed. Even so, it's my favourite Gundam series. Just love it.
As for it being hard to find... you can find it in about 5 minutes. Victory, for example, is way harder to find.

I like the design of the Air Master. I might check it out soon.
