Hi there!

I've seen some pictures of LEGO Mechas and I must say they do look
awesome!

Is there a good way to enter the world of Mechas? I really don't know
anything about them except the LEGO MOC's I've seen and honestly, most
of the language goes over my head and beyound :)

I'm currently into Technic but I'd like to test Mechas as side project
for a while. I've been thinking about trains and town but they don't
"talk" to me and seem to take a lot of space in question, space I
don't have...

Any advice on learning about the world of Mechas (both LEGO and
non-LEGO) and good newbie building is welcome :)

I've sort of come to the conclusion that Mechas are some form of
"shell" for humans (or minifigs) to give better streanght etc. in
battle and work in some form of future (or remote) space. Am I right
so far? Just an insight on my level of knowledge 8-)

With best regards from Sweden,
/Tobbe
