Here’s one thing I never understood about any of the Gundam series: you have a 60-foot giant robot painted red, white and blue. You need to hide it, so you park it in a forest and throw a few tree branches over it. And suddenly, no one can see it.

I’m not sure what that has to do with crazy Japanese people building a life-size Gundam in Odaiba, an island in Tokyo Bay that is made of garbage and boasts  a three-story mall. Probably nothing.

But the pictures look sweet!
