Despite the recent earthquake in Japan, the wondrous full scale statue of the RX-78-2 Gundam survived intact. However, the Gundam will be leaving Shizuoka shortly for an as yet unnamed new venue and it subsequently needs to be carefully disassembled.
We were lucky enough to visit the Gundam in September of last year. So to see it leave is saddening but wherever it appears next, hopefully with a beam rifle and shield this time, will keep our burning tamashii sustained.

I saw it in November and it’s such a damn shame to see it pulled down (I practically went over to Japan just to see it and Akihabara).
Can’t wait to see it with a beam rifle or Hyper Bazooka or with a Char’s Zaku standing beside it.
Don’t worry. It’s only lost the main camera.
They should have positioned it with beam rifle aiming up for the last day.
I’m amazed. It’s like the epic battle with the Zeong except that one foe is absent.
