Alas there can be no pictures of all four gundams together: (URL) minifigs were harmed in the creation of these images ;-) Actually series like Gundam point out that both sides in a war believe they are justified in their actions and have the moral (...)

(...) If anything, I'd say that this reinforces a point that Eric made, at least by example. That point being that a strong military is useful in deterring other nations from attacking yours, but speaks nothing as to whether or not your nation will (...)

(...) Follow ups to off-topic.debate. I was going to say the same thing... Germany sure didn't show any hesitation to use their vastly supperior army in WWII, nor did the Romans hesitate to us theirs, or the British durring colonial expansion etc. (...)

I agree 110% with James! Look at the Cold War for example, both the U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. had enough nuclear weapons to annihilate the world, but did they? Deterrence is what prevented both nations from even thinking about launching their arsenals. To (...) (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Things are slow around here, so I'm going to jump into the fray. Does history bear that out? I don't think that there is a correlation between the strength of a nation and a reticence towards war. james (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

cool pics Chris. I love the "Full Metal Jacket" one!!! Make sure you bring him with you to the Lugola meeting so I can have a grudge match against my old school GI Joe. Later, Bryce (...) (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I think that weaponry is actually a very positive message. If weapons are for defense, it shows that a nation is strong. The stronger a nation is, the less likely it is that it will ever go to war.

(...) I understand your point Dave, but may I point you to a few mecha: Mladen Pejic's Loader: (URL) Sandlin's Grunt (URL) sure there are others, but these are the two that popped into my head immediately.

Speaking for myself - I have tried to stay away from building mecha - for the very reasons that Bobby mentions. A mecha without a weapon built from LEGO is a pretty cool thing. Especially some of the larger models seen on Brickshelf in the last few (...) (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
