Next year I will be going to Japan for the first time.
Sadly the life sized RX-78-2 will be gone by then.
Tell me....what is it like? What is it like with the sun shining and glimmering off his headcrest?

P.S. Unicorn will be pretty sweet to see though.

It's probably being prepped for 2020.

Seeing a walking one will blow my mind, dick and ass all out of my ass...somehow.
Maybe I'll have enough money by then for another trip.

I know I'm saving my money for Olympics 2020 just to see it move.
I couldn't care less about the sportsfest

This. They haven't made any announcements but they started a project to make it move a few years back.
I like the Unicorn but it would have been 10 times more awesome if it was Zeta.

I saw it about a year ago on a study abroad trip, and let me tell you that thing's fucking huge. seeing it animated or reading its stats online cannot prepare you for the enormity of this thing. When hear about its head lighting up and moving around while it plays quotes and music from the original show you think to yourself, "that sounds kind lame" but your wrong it was magical.

The logistics of getting that thing moving without it crumbling on itself must be absolutely absurd. I'm half expecting some form of hydraulic system to sheer itself in half.

I'm so depressed that I won't get to see it in person. I guess it's not so bad if they're putting up a Unicorn, I might get to see that, but it's not the same as seeing the original, y'know?

Why is everyone so fucking sure that it's going to move in the Olympics.

Because I saw Tomino at McDonald's the other day and he told me it would.
