Can you name some of the excuses on why Kira lost to Shinn during the Impulse vs. Freedom fight? - "I forgot to turn on my Game Shark!"
- "Big deal! I'm getting a new Gundam anyway."
- "Shinn cheated by watching my previous fights!"
- "Fukuda! Did I do a good job for ya?
- "Shinn didn't win. I lost. He really didn't beat me."

I have not seen the fight, but didn't he win with a significant amount of help? I want to say that Rey devised the strategy to use, along with help from being sent a change of packs.
Not trying to take anything away from Shinn. Outside of Athrun, it's not like many have beat Kira in a fight, but when they fought later on, Shinn didn't put up the most impressive performance, which would probably have something to do with his lack of experience, compared to Athrun and Kira.

The Shinn/Kira fight was pretty even and Shinn had the edge in suit technology, help, and strategy help from Rey with the switching of the packs.
Shinn vs Kita and Athrun the second time was pretty much a loss due to plot induced stupidity. That scene of him trying to block the Shin Sabers with his legs and not his arms beam gauntlet is so f***ing stupid. oi Shinn after the Kira fight is so dissapointing.

I would love to see a third Cosmic Era anime. It'd be a good chance for redemption for Shinn, with a chance he'd be on a side in the conflict where he is not a naive puppet, and it just feels like Destiny is not a solid ending for the universe they are in. That, and updated Gelgoogs maybe would be nice to go with the DOM Trooper and ZAKU Warriors/GOUF Igniteds.

A third CE series that uses it's own designs and stops trying to suck off 0079 would be great.

Yeah I did, I liked thos and the idea that the general Gundamn design would be mass produced, goign back to Zaku's and Gelgoogs felt like more 0079 pandering than was needed. Same shit with certain themes that showed up in S2 of 00.

If they were copies and sucked, then I'd have an issue with it. I wonder who would be the antagonist of a third series.

Nice picks, though with the Beginning J, keep in mind you'll need to paint if you want it to look its best, since the swords have a lot of stickers. Otherwise, I am after that one, too. Oh, and to add to my list of upcoming Gunpla, there will be a HGUC Tri-Stars version of the Zaku II. I can only assume it will be the high mobility type, but it could be a recolor only.

Holy mackeral. Coming to Real Grade: -Gouf -Z'Gok -GM -Ground Gundam
There are going to be some fantastic dioramas out there. Would be awesome if they included an alternate chest for the GM with the GM or Z'Gok so you could re-create the iconic impalement scene.

I prefer the way they handled it in SEED: Still a tribute to 0079, while using bits and pieces from other series, all while generally being subtle or different about it. Rau, for example, might appear to be a Char clone, while Athrun is much more like Char, outside of the mask and vendetta. Rau is more like Paptimus Scirocco, probably, overall.
